Slackware :: Notify About A RAID1 (software) Failure?
Apr 8, 2011
I was experimenting in virtual machines this evening with software RAID.I found Slackware's method straightforward and intelligible. The README is excellent. I found software RAID setup in Scientific Linux (RH Enterprise clone) and Debian convoluted and confusing.My only question regarding software RAID in Slackware is how the system notifies you about the failure of one component. I pulled one of the virtual disks offline to deliberately fail the array but I wasn't notified when rebooting. I didn't look too deeply into log files to be honest. Can it be set to automatically notify the admin about a failure?

I'm a beginner + in debian (ie I know how to launch basic command under a shell), and I very new to configuration problem.I have a running perfectly file server for probably more than 2 years that I never touch. That's the debian problem, when it's unning, it's forever, no reboot at all.I recently bought 2 new sata drive 1TB5, that I add to my system by adding to my old system a SATA PCI board without any problem.But, one of these 3 month old drive is already dead.So I try to replace it and that's where problem started.....First I did a#mdadm --manage /dev/md1 --remove /dev/sdb1, of course without sucess because sdb is dead
#mdadm --detail /dev/md1
/dev/md1:

I have built a small test server. I am planing on using this machine a an email and web server to test out its hosting capacities. in the future I will build a larger and more well equipped version.
AMD Athlon x2 2.0ghz
2 160gb SATA drives (hardware raid 1, done through the Motherboard)
2 gb ram (dual channel)
Like I said small test server. I am trying to install 10.04 server edition. When I get to the point of partitioning it asks me to activate the raid so I do. I get through the guided partitioning and get ready to write the file system to the drives and the screen goes red and says that it has failed. On a side note, this works if i install it on the same drives without any raid configuration.

Is anyone else having this issue when running "su" after the latest batch of current updates? Every time I run su, I get the following:
Code:
configuration error - unknown item 'DIALUPS_CHECK_ENAB' (notify administrator) configuration error - unknown item 'NOLOGIN_STR' (notify administrator) I'm pretty sure this is related to the shadow package that was rebuilt on the last set up updates.

I have been running Fedora 12 since its release without issue with a hardware RAID1 of two 1.5TB drives and a root volume of 500GB on a separate drive. Last night, after rebooting my machine, I was greeted with the following:Checking filesystemsfsck.ext4: Unable to resolve 'UUID=<snip>78' [FAILED]and the option of shell access as root. After logging in, I ran blkid with these results:
/dev/sda: TYPE="jmicron_raid_member"

/dev/sdc1: UUID="<snip>86" TYPE="ext4"

My old workhorse computer's motherboard died yesterday, and I want to get everything off of its RAID1 array. I have a backup on an external drive but it's a few weeks old and I'd like to make sure I've got everything.
The old machine ran Slackware 12.1, and had a 2-drive IDE 250GB RAID1 array with partitions:
md0 - swap
md1 - /
The new machine has Slackware 13.1, and also has a 2-drive SATA 250GB RAID1 array with partitions:
md0 - /
md1 - swap
md2 - /home
I put the IDE drives from the old computer into the new one. I'm not sure how to get the old array going now. I'm not sure if I should use mdadm with --assemble (since the array was already set up before) or with --create (because the array needs to be renamed so it doesn't clash with the new computer's md1). I'm thinking I should use --create and give the old md1 a new name (md3). But I'm not sure if anything bad will happen if I use --create on an array with data on it.
Output of mdadm -Esv:
Code:
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=9a0cc71f:df5e59d9:50e7b281:3adcc49f
devices=/dev/sda1,/dev/sdb1
ARRAY /dev/md1 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=698c321a:8008c659:d8c7deeb:c1dd303c
[code]....
The old drives are the last two entries, sdc and sdd. It's odd that the order is reversed. I had (non-RAID) Windows partitions on both drives and I've mounted them and verified that the drives are on the IDE cable in the right order, and sdc is the original 1st drive of the array, and sdd is the 2nd drive of the array.

I have a nas / server running Slackware64-13.37 with two raid arrays, one with 3x500GB disks and the other with 2x2TB disks. I also have 1x80GB hdd which contains the os. I found a spare 250GB hdd from my closet and want to set up raid1 array from os hdd and that spare drive.I know that I can't make use of the extra 170GB of space but I don't care as long as I have working installation on the other disk if that 80GB hdd breaks. How can I set up that kind of raid1 without losing any data?

This post was originally placed in the src2pkg thread, just below.
But to avoid it being overlooked I am placing it in a new thread here.
I am using src2pkg v.2.0 with Slack 13.0 running kernel 2.6.29.6
In the past I used trackinstall to run 'make install' after configuration and compilation (using a makefile). Here's an example
of what happens when I use the current trackinstall that comes bundled
with src2pkg code...

There is a known bug with MySQL 5.1.42 that prohibits the QMYSQL driver from functioning properly. I finally found it on the MythTV bug tracker, which links it to the MySQL site. There is a patch available, but the bug was fixed in 5.1.43. To fix it on my system, I grabbed the all of -current/source/ap/mysql except for the actual source, and downloaded the latest version (5.1.44) from [URL].

I've gone through tutorial after tutorial and finally I've given up and I'm resorting to asking the forums. I've got Slackware 13.1 64-bit and I've got a Netgear WG311v3 and I obviously want them to work together! I installed ndiswrapper and I've tried several different drivers from several different tutorials, but I can't get them to work. At first I couldn't get modprobe ndiswrapper to work, but that was because ndiswrapper.ko was in the wrong folder. I moved it manually and executed depmod -a and modprobe ndiswrapper started working.I've gathered all the information I anticipated and I'm going to post it at the end of this. Anything I don't supply that is relevant ask for and I'll try and get it. I'm desperate to get this driver working correctly so I can get back to my life on Slackware. Here's the information:

I just setup sendmail on my server to send emails and it works, now I would like to be able to get an email from mdadm if sometjhing was going wrong. I imagine most raid users have this feature setup.
Right now, I have 7 raid arrays and mdadm starts at boot time. Until now, I used Mr. Goblin's script (http://connie.slackware.com/~mrgoblin/files/rc.mdadm) (thanks Mr Goblin!) to monitor my arrays.
The script is started at boot time from rc.local. I created a small script in /usr/bin that send the following command to rc.mdadm giving me the status of the arrays:
Code:
/etc/rc.d/rc.mdadm status
and it works fine, but this requires me probing the arrays manually by calling the script from the command line. I would like to automate probing every 10 minutes or whatever and if a fault has been detected, I get an email.

I have a brand new installation of 13.37 but I can't seem to get the nvidia-kernel (64 bit only) Slackbuild from slackbuilds.org to build. I have the nvidia driver installed and working on 13.1 so I am not desperate yet: although I thought that it could just be something with the older Nvidia driver so I waited for the updated release but it fails in the same way.I have uninstalled xf86-video-nouveau and installed xf86-video-nouveau-blacklist-noarch-1.txz from /extra.I have also installed libvdpau from SBo. The nvidia-driver Slackbuild builds fine.I am using the stock 2.6.37.6 huge kernel but have also tried the 2.6.38.4 kernel from /extra and the 2.6.38.7 kernel from Slackware-current.Here is the error message I am seeing:
Code:

I am new to slackware and linux at all. Today I have installed slackware 13.1 on my PC. Everything seems fine. Furthermore, I successfully installed mysql and edited the http.conf file throughout vim(this was also new to me). I discommented the line where it says "Include /etc/httpd/mod_php.conf" and moreover changed "DirectoryIndex index.html" to "DirectoryIndex index.php".
I assumed that the library "libltdl.so.7" is missing. When I tried to google it, I cannot find a proper version for slackware.I sincerely apologize if I have posted the thread in the wrong section.

I'm having a problem building some applications (e.g. Qsynth and FreeCAD) with sbopkg relating to an unfound library named "jscore". I've been keeping my system up to date with slackware64-current.Google searches have turned up very little about this library. There is a sourceforge page that has no files and seems to be related to a google hosted script jsCore.js... but I don't think that's what's missing here. I've come across some vague references to this jscore library being part of webkit. Can anyone verify this? I updated my webkit library itself and found no apparent results. Perhaps jscore was removed in an update to Qt (both of the example applications mentioned above link to Qt) as it seems to have it's own webkit library, libQtWebKit.

Notify-osd is one of my favorite things about ubuntu but the pop ups last _WAY TOO LONG_. I've been googling for an hour and can't find any way to change it. Is this true? This is literally a big enough deal that I might just un-install it. But, that would be terrible because I think it's a fantastic app if it didn't sit there for five god damn minutes telling me about messages I read five minutes ago...
No, not literally five minutes, so don't respond saying "There's no way its five minutes" or "if it lasts that long something's wrong with your computer". If I really can't change the timing then that's an awful call on the part of the programmers who made it. Who the hell wants an app that can't be adjusted in any way?

I was hoping to have a pop up come up after my rssdler completes, I was hoping for the nice pop ups that Ubuntu for brightness, audio volume, instant messages ect, i think it's called notify but i'm still figuring things out. Is there a way i can write this into my rssdler start up script? or any other script i'm writing?

No matter what I try, notifications do not appear. The notify-osd program is running (if I check ps) and nothing ever reports an error. I just don't see it, or hear it (does it make a sound?)
I think this might be because of my dual screen setup. I have two screens set up, with the screen on the right lower than the screen on the left so that they match up in real life.
This leaves a dead space above the right hand screen, perhaps its appearing in there? But I have already used notification-preferences to move it to the left (does that even work?) and still nothing. What's up? I rely on notifications to tell me that something's up, since the new "notification area" plugin does not flash and is thus utterly useless on this large screen display (design failure)

Pidgin was running beautifully with notify-osd until recently i've decided to try AWN-notification-daemon ... didn't like it, so simply disabled it .. now notify-osd is not working at all with pidgin... it works with other applications , but not pidgin..
the pidgin-libnotify plugin is checked and working.. I've reinstalled notify-osd and notify-osd icons package .. but still.

Is there a way to change the location that notify OSD uses when it displays a new notification? I have some large dual monitors at work which is great, but I typically do browsing/development work on the left display and leave email and other less used things on the right display. Because notifications are displayed on the right monitor, I often miss the notifications because there are outside of my peripheral vision. I generally notice them within a minute or two because the mail icon in the panel is blue instead of black, but I would rather get the notifications as they occur.
When running 10.10 there was no panel at the top of the right monitor, so all notifications showed up on my left monitor. Since I upgraded to 11.04, Unity seems to display a panel on both monitors and thus, all notifications wind up on the right monitor. I would like them to appear on the left monitor instead.
See attached screenshot for more info. Sorry it's not the best quality -- but the idea is that I ran notify-send "test" in the terminal and you can see the bubble on the right monitor instead of the left one.
So...can the location of the notify OSD be controlled somewhere?
