Ubuntu Installation :: FGLRX Status On 10.04 Upgrade Warning?

Oct 17, 2010

I am running 8.04 on a Toshiba Satellite A100 laptop. (My Toshiba model is unfortunately the one with the Phoenux BIOS)I have been happy with 8.04 LTS for quite some time now and was thinking of upgrading to 10.04 LTS, which the Update Manager says is available. I normally choose to upgrade a few months after release once things have stabilised a bit. I figured it was now time for 10.04.I accordingly have first taken all the updates for 8.04 and brought it up-to-date. Then when I click on Upgrade, I get the following messageUpgrading may reduce desktop effects and performance in games and other graphically intensive programs.This computer is currently using the AMD 'fglrx' graphics driver. No version of this driver is available that works with your hardwarein Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

Do you want to continue ?Since I wasn't sure of the exact entire implications, I said NO and exit the upgrade at that point.I then googled a bit and found this to be a pretty serious installation issue with a number of people who unfortunately have ATI display cards.But then I came across this page:Does the above link mean that this problem is now solved with respect to 10.04 as well ?Also, if not, what are the implications for me ? Does this mean I have to be stuck on 8.04 only ?If I choose to upgrade anyway, what display functionality will I lose ?I don't need Desktop Effects or other toys. But I do use GIMP quite a bit and also watch videos in multiple formats. Will I not be able to do these ?

Programming :: Write DOS Script To Monitor The PC's Network Status?

Jan 15, 2010

There are a few PCs on the network that lose network connection every so often -- sometimes these old beasts have a power failure and owing to a bug in the BIOS the NIC doesn't necessarily initialize properly, which requires a reboot to correct it. Got me thinking of a band-aid -- have the PC ping a specific IP address, and if it cannot ping then it forces itself to reboot.

IF I were to write it in BASH I'd do it like this:

#!/bin/bash
HOST=<some meaningful hostname or IP address>
for ipaddy in $HOST
do
count=$(ping -c 1 $HOST | grep 'received' | awk '{print $4}')
if [ "$count" = "0" ]; then
sh usr/bin/reboot
fi
done

In English: send 1 ping to the IP address. Grep through the results to see how many of 1 ping was returned. IF it returns 0 pings then reboot. I'm sure the reboot command would have to be groomed a bit for sudoers but that's beside the point here.

So, HOW do we write something like this for DOS? Stop giggling (lol). No really, I have Windows 2000 & XP machines that need some sort of script or method of knowing (at intervals) of when they're not talking to the Host system, and need to reboot to fix it. I was thinking to write a simple test script, drop it on each of these machines and use the Windows task scheduler to run it every 30 minutes.

General :: Finding Alternative Filesystems For SSD?

Feb 14, 2011

I am tired of watching fsck check my filesystem when my eeepc 901 shuts down abruptly due to a crash. I know that with a journaling filesystem, I won't have to wait for a check. However, I am well aware of the poor I/O performance of the SSD, so I can imagine using a journaling filesystem being even more frustrating, since there will be constant writes to the journal? I will buy a new laptop without such a crummy ssd someday but, is there anything I can do now, on the software side of things?

General :: Filesystems - Changing Device Names In /dev

Apr 25, 2011

I have many disks and volumes in my system. Some of disks IDE, some SATA.

Volumes on SATA disks cause me problems - I have them listed in etc/fstab, but on every boot, they have different name:

/dev/sdd* becomes /dev/sdb*
/dev/sde* becomes /dev/sdc*

etc. on every boot.

1) Why is this happening?

2) How can I prevent it?

3) If I can't, is there a workaround?

Ubuntu :: Get The 'General Error Mounting Filesystems?

Aug 29, 2010

When I try to start up 9.10 I can get past GRUB but not fsck. A file check will be started but no progress will be made and finally I get the 'General error mounting filesystems'.Trying in recovery mode I get this just before the fsck check

Quote:
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16

Quote:

This seems to be slightly different than the other threads I've seen discussing this issue. It just all of a sudden happened, I didn't upgrade anything or have any crashes immediately prior.

General :: Fsck And Manually Mounted Filesystems?

Nov 12, 2010

I want the filesystem of my external drive to be checked periodically after a numer of mounts. I put 2 in the sixth colums of fstab for this partition

Code:
/dev/sdb1/mnt/hdext3rw,dev,sync,user,noauto,exec,suid02
and I use the tune2fs to set the maximum mount count to 32.
Code:
tune2fs -c 32 /dev/sdb

now the mount count is 34 and the date of the last check is not recent, so apparently the auto fsck has not been performed. Probably because this partition is not mounted at start-up but I usually mount it manually.

General :: Filesystems - Software RAID 1 Without Metadata On The Drives?

Mar 30, 2011

I know I can simply create a degraded raid array and copy the data to the other drive like this: mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 missing /dev/sdb1

But I want the specific disk to keep the raw ext3 filesystem so I can still use it from FreeBSD. When using the command above the disk will be a raid disk and I can't do a mount /dev/sdb1 anymore. A little background info. The drives in question are used as backup drives for a couple of Linux and FreeBSD servers. I am using the Ext3 filesystem to make sure I can quickly recover the data since both FreeBSD and Linux can read from that without problems. If someone has a different solution for that (2 drives in raid 1 that are readable by FreeBSD and writeable by Linux),

General :: Filesystems - File System For Removable Storage?

Apr 7, 2011

I have a 500GB external drive I want to use on a couple of Linux systems, and looking for a filesystem for it. External drives are frequently formatted in FAT32, but I don't need to interoperate with Windows and would rather avoid the ugly limited kludge that is FAT.

Since I only need to use it on Linux, I would use ext4 or XFS, but they store ownership information. Ideally, I'd use a proper Unix file system that doesn't track ownership (files are owned by whoever mounts the device, like they are when mounting a FAT32 partition), but I do not know of any file system that does that.What would be a good file system for this disk?

General :: Filesystems - Mirror A Directory And Back Up All Metadata?

Aug 20, 2011

I need to backup my home folder (and a few other folders) on an organizational Linux NFS system where my account will be expiring soon, onto a personal hard drive (which is not using a Linux filesystem). I access the account through SSH and SFTP. I want to backup all metadata for these files and directories and everything in them, including dates, owners, groups, UID/GID numbers, CHMOD permissions, etc. How can I go about doing this? Do I need to run the LS command recursively on the directory with certain settings of what information to display, and pipe the results to a file so that the information will be in a file regardless of which filesystem I move it to? Or is there a way to save all the metadata using something like TAR/GZ? If it's with TAR/GZ, then how do I view this metadata on other filesystems that I move the archive to, and will the users/groups stored remain intact as long as it's not extracted?

In addition, do you know how to do this for SELinux metadata and AFS (Andrew File System) metadata too? (These will be for another filesystem later on, but if don't know the answer to either of these, please still answer the above.)

General :: Root File System Partitioning - Filesystems ?

Feb 12, 2010

I've been using *Unix systems for many years now, and I've always been led to believe that its best to partition certain dirs into separate FileSystems, off the main root FS.

For instance, /tmp /var /usr etc

Leaving as little as possible on the main / system.

Its so that you don't fill up the root system be accident, by some user putting in too bigger files in /tmp, for example.

I would presume that filling the / system would not be too good for Linux, as it would not be able to write logs and possibly other things that it needs to.

I believe that if root gets full, then there is something like a 5% amount saved for just 'root' to write to, so that it can do its stuff.

However, eventually, / will become full, and writes will fail.

On top of this, certain scripting tools, such as awk, use the /tmp/ system to store temp files in, and awk wont be able to write to /tmp/ as its full, so awk will fail.

However, I'm being advised that there is no need to put /tmp /var etc onto separate FSs, as there is no problem nowerdays with / filling up. So, /tmp /var /usr are all on the root FS.

I'm talking about large systems, with TBs of data (which is on a separate FS), and with a user populations of around 800-1000 users, and 24/7 system access.

General :: Filesystems - Convert A Disk Image Into A Sparse File?

Jul 31, 2010

I have a bunch of disk images, made with ddrescue, on an EXT partition, and I want to reduce their size without losing data, while still being mountable. How can I fill the empty space in the image's filesystem with zeros, and then convert the file into a sparse file so this empty space is not actually stored on disk?

For example:

> du -s --si --apparent-size Jimage.image
120G Jimage.image
> du -s --si Jimage.image
121G Jimage.image

This actually only has 50G of real data on it, though, so the second measurement should be much smaller.

This supposedly will fill empty space with zeros: cat /dev/zero > zero.file rm zero.file But if sparse files are handled transparently, it might actually create a sparse file without writing anything to the virtual disk, ironically preventing me from turning the virtual disk image into a sparse file itself. :) Does it? Note: For some reason, sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=./zero.file works when cat does not on a mounted disk image.

General :: Filesystems - Best File-systems / Mount-configuration For Each Folder On GNU?

Apr 10, 2011

One of the good points of linux is that is easy to customize the partitioning scheme of the disk and put each directory (/home, /var, etc) in diferent partitions and/or diferent disk. Then we can use diferen file system/configurations for each of them for make them better. xamples:

noatime is a mount option to not write access time on the files. data=writeback is an option to layz write metadata on new files. ext3/4 has journaling that make the partition more secure in case of a crash. bigger blocks make the partition waste more space, but make it faster to read and may become more fragmented. (not sure) Then: What are the best filesystem/configurations for each directory? Note: given the answer of Patches, will only discuss /, /home and /var only.

/var -> It's modified constantly, it write logs, cache, temporal, etc.
/home -> stores important files.
/-> stores everything else (/etc and /usr should be here)
