[opensuse] md RAID 10 disk identity
by Dave Howorth 29 Apr '10

29 Apr '10

I'm just planning how to set up my first md software RAID. There seems to be quite a learning curve about how to configure things and to anticipate the various admin actions that may be required (adding or removing drives, isolating failing drives etc). The documentation I've found seems to be scattered and is mostly reference material or isolated specifics. I'm also concerned about how up-to-date material is. For instance, I haven't found any docs that describe growing a RAID5, which is being discussed in another thread. So can anybody recommend any good introductory/tutorial material? FWIW, I'm planning a 4-disk RAID 10. Two disks are from one manufacturer and two from another, so one of my concerns is to make sure that two disks from the same manufacturer don't end up mirroring each other, in case there is a batch quality problem.

It's good to know where to modify it in case the font is reinstalled (some package has it as dependency).

[opensuse] Add more disks to RAID 5
by Allan Dreyer andersen 29 Apr '10

29 Apr '10

Hi all I have setup a home server running a RAID 5 (3 disks). Now I would like to add 2 more disks to my RAID 5 but I'm not sertain how to do it. The RAID 5 is created of sda1, sdb1, sdc1 and I would like to add sdd1, sde1 - what process do you recommend? Both sdd1 and sde1 are currently mounted under /media/. So I assume sdd and sde should be unmounted, formated to ext4 and changed to '0xFD Linux RAID' - is this correct? Anything more I should do? Thanks a lot in advance.

[opensuse] 11.2 on a Thinkpad T410
by Christopher M. Hobbs 29 Apr '10

29 Apr '10

First off, I've looked at the HCL, I didn't see the T410 listed. I'm trying to get 11.2 installed on a Thinkpad T410. The install goes fine until it comes time to reboot after the installation of the bootloader. Once it starts to boot from the hard drive, it scrolls some kernel messages too quickly to read (but given the green text on the right of the screen, it doesn't appear that there are any failures). After scrolling, the screen goes blank and it doesn't proceed any further. It's not X.org, I've tried clt+alt+fn and ctl+alt+backspace+backspace to no avail. Booting to single user mode, runlevel 3, or using the vga=0x367 option doesn't work either. I tried holding down the space bar to encourage a boot (as was a common issue with a previous laptop in both Ubuntu and openSUSE) to no avail. The openSUSE GNOME LiveCD exhibits the same behavior, though the 11.0 LiveCD functions. SLED 11 works on the laptop just fine aside from theethernet and wireless controllers not showing up. I'm burning a copy of 11.3 Milestone 5 to test out. Is there anything else I can try? Thank you! -- C.M.

by Istvan Gabor 29 Apr '10

29 Apr '10

Hello: I have installed font packages and now fonts of yast2 titles, like "Starting the Software Manager", "Hardware Information" etc. are different and ugly. How cold I trace which font is used for these titles and set it back to the original one?

[opensuse] How to change group ownership of /var/log/messages
by Rodney Baker 28 Apr '10

28 Apr '10

Hi all. I use the tail widget on KDE4 to keep a watch on /var/log/messages. This file is normally readable only by root. My normal user account is a member of the wheel group and if I chgrp /var/log/messages to wheel then I can monitor it on the desktop, however this change does not survive a reboot (or syslog rolling over the file) because every time the file is created it is created as root:root instead of root:wheel. Is there a way to tell the system to use the wheel group instead of root for /var/log/messages? I tried setting SYSLOG_NG_PARAMS="-g wheel" in /etc/sysconfig/syslog and then restarting syslog but this still reset the group ownership to root.
