Hard drive configuration

by Michael Long

I hope someone can point me in the right direction. I have a SuSE 9.3 system that was fully configured when I bought it. When looking at fstab the drives are configured as follows: /dev/sdb3 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/sdb1 /boot reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 2 /dev/sda1 /raid reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/sdb2 swap swap pri=42 0 0 I downloaded OpenSuSE 10.2 and attempted to upgrade the system. When running either an upgrade or new install it tells me that /dev/sda3 is defined as /dev/sdb3 in fstab. Bottom line when I install opensuse 10.2 it sees my raid as sdb and the system is currently setup to have it as sda. I do not understand why my current configuration is the opposite of what a new install is finding. Where do I go from here?

Either works just fine. I'm trying to move stuff to eric.joshua.martin, but it takes time.

This is not the normal meeting setting - the BBQ is in lieu of a meeting. Please RSVP to Eric Martin so he'll know how much food to buy.

I have no idea how many people might come. Maybe 30? Is someone taking RSVPs? If your main goal is to advance your knowledge in Linux you may find it more worth your while to attend a regular meeting then the BBQ. During regular meetings we cover specific topics or have free ranging discussions. My understanding is that the BBQ is more of a social event for the group. Someone correct me if I am wrong. kstratton(a)fastmail.us wrote: > I recently joined the mailing list to get an idea of how active this > group is.

I recently joined the mailing list to get an idea of how active this group is. Perhaps somebody can provide an approximate number of expected participants for this meeting? If I go (I am thinking about it...), I would have to take a 1/2 day off from work and drive from Connecticut. I am looking for an active group that provides an environment to accelerate my learning with Linux to hopefully reach a point of learning where it could be enjoyable to contribute back to some open source project or another. I am running Gentoo, so I am not a COMPLETE newbe.

Re: [Wlug] Democracy Player - Miro

by Eric Stein

As soon as I can emerge it (which, according to their site, will be pretty soon), I'm installing it. Yeah, I could go download it, but I like doing things via portage, it's easier to keep track of.

That's cool! I installed Democracy on my Mac, but with iTunes pre-installed, I haven't actually gotten around to using Democracy/Miro more than once or twice. -- Rich

Democracy Player - Miro

by Joe Riopel

Hi, I am not sure how many of your are/were familiar with the Democracy media player, but they have recently changed the name to Miro (http://www.getmiro.com/) The reason I am posting it here is that some of the core people working on that project are from right here in glorious Worcester. Joe
