[opensuse] Brother MFC-J6710dw compatibility?
by Thomas Taylor 09 May '12

09 May '12

Hi All ;) Have any of you used a Brother MFC-J6710dw with linux? Have there been any problems with recognition/setup? This is a fairly new printer and I couldn't find it on the HCL so am asking here.

[opensuse] mdraid questions
by Lew Wolfgang 08 May '12

08 May '12

Hi Folks, Background: I'm working on a box that has to record lots of data "very" reliably. The current iteration requires 4.1-TB of storage with an average write bandwidth of at least 260-MB/sec. The hardware is a 4U rack system with 24 hotswap 1-TB disks on the front, with two 1-TB internal disks. It has two LSI RAID controllers, one handles the 24 hotswap disks, the other the two internal disks configured as a RAID-1 mirror. openSuSE 12.1 is on the internal RAID. I configured the 24 data disks as two RAID-6 arrays each with 11 disks, leaving two disks for global auto-hotswap. I then configured the two arrays as a mdraid level 1 mirror. This allows for the failure of up to 15 disks, depending on which ones failed. The mdraid allows allows for on-line real-time duplication of the write data stream. It also allows for each side of the mirror to be shipped separately for physical transport reliability. I've got this configuration up and running with an average write bandwidth of about 560-MB/sec. So far, so good. Questions: I'm assuming that I can physically remove one of the RAID-6 arrays and install the disks in another (identical) chassis. An empty and uninitialized array will also be in the second chassis. Do I need to do anything with mdadm to cause the mirror on the second chassis to rebuild the empty array with the data from the first chassis? Would it be a matter of just plugging in the disks, turn on the power and step back? Or will some mdadm ju-ju be required? Will the wrong array be replicated? In case you're wondering, the next iteration will require 2-TB data disks. We also have a complete clone of the whole system to be used as a spare if necessary. This data HAS to be recorded! I realize this configuration is probably overkill, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Is there anything else I'm forgetting to consider? Thanks in advance for your opinions.

[opensuse] simple data security: RAID1 or rsync?
by phanisvara das 08 May '12

08 May '12

after seeing a few threads re. RAID arrays, problems booting off them, and extra strain the surviving member of an array is put under when it has to sync a new HDD after it's (only) brother's failure, i doubt the wisdom of my original idea to set up two identical 2TB drives as RAID1 array. wouldn't it be safer (not to mention simpler) to just rsync the simple directory tree i'm concerned about to the other HDD every 15 min or so? if either of the two HDDs fails, the other one still has the important data. it's not my desktop, but a file server i'm putting together for my employer. the only thing he cares about is preserving the data in question. if or when one of the HDDs fails, there's no need to preserve the operating system or anything else. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] file-association
by Hans de Faber 08 May '12

08 May '12

Hello everybody, Problem: When I open a mp3 file it is opened with a unwanted mediaplayer and it cannot be changed in fileassociations. I have 3 mediaplayers installed amarok,clementine and vlc. I have opened in systemsettings fileassociations the mp3 setting. In the 'application preference order' field i removed vlc, the preference order is now clementine,amarok only. The same thing I did for x-mp3. I logged out and logged in. But my mp3 is still opened by vlc, how is this possible ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] dolphin not updating directory contents
by Monty Tuvalieau 07 May '12

07 May '12

Howdy, I am seeing a problem with dolphin where, sometimes if I delete a sub- directory from a bash shell that directory still appears in the dolphin view. If I go up the file hierarchy in dolphine the deleted directory (or file) still appear but are unavailable. Only if I start a new dolphin window does it show the correct directory content. I am running opensuse 12.1 x86_64 Monty -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Strangeness on OpenSuSE 11.4 64bit after update
by claudioml＠mediaservice.net 07 May '12

07 May '12

Hello all, Today, some of my systems have done an upgrade of the following packages: samba-3.6.3-115.1 Mon May 7 03:02:12 2012 samba-krb-printing-3.6.3-115.1 Mon May 7 03:02:04 2012 samba-winbind-3.6.3-115.1 Mon May 7 03:01:58 2012 samba-client-3.6.3-115.1 Mon May 7 03:01:42 2012 libldb1-1.0.2-115.1 Mon May 7 03:01:35 2012 samba-32bit-3.6.3-115.1 Mon May 7 03:01:34 2012 libtevent0-0.9.11-115.1 Mon May 7 03:01:34 2012 samba-client-32bit-3.6.3-115.1 Mon May 7 03:01:33 2012 samba-winbind-32bit-3.6.3-115.1 Mon May 7 03:01:31 2012 The system is a Proxy Server, with authentication on a Windows 2008 Server. After the upgrade, the authentication stop to work. After some debugging of the situation, my solution to make it working again is to remove the samba-winbind-32bit-3.6.3-115.1 package. After this, the autentication works perfectly. Any idea of why that problem comes out after that upgrade?

[opensuse] howto test server load?
by jdd-gmane 07 May '12

07 May '12

Hello, I use my own hosted server for video streaming (among other things, of course). I wouls like to know what is the load these videos put on the server, let only to know if it's powerfull enough. I don't expect more than a handfull concurrent access. Right now, server's top do not show any visible load reading two video at the same time (and It's pretty difficult to test more from the same client) I have a 100Mb symetric bandwith on the server side now videos are flv, and mediainfo say: Overall bit rate: 1 165 Kbps but I hope to use soon html5 (that is ogg or mp4 format) thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
