Hello.. I am trying to make my firefox work with my Thunderbird
but I dont understand one thing
when you say.... Change the paths to point to this executable shell script:
How do you do this ... is this a file or do you do it in konsole and
what is the path that you should change it too ..
thanks for your help .. and please forgive that i am a newbie
Prob the automounter... There should be a dir /mnt/auto? I know knoppix
uses that a lot

SuSE 9.1 will automatically mount and unmount a pen drive, floppy disk or
cd. I haven't yet figured out how it does that.

Jeff,
Thanx for the continued feedback and suggestions, RHCM sounds cool
but, I've read through some of the bug tracks on it and it sounds like
there are some bad corruption problems when using it. It also sounds
like there can be a considerable lag in the time it takes for the shares
to come up on the secondary server. Are there many people using this in
a production environment?
Thanx,
Don

If you only need to server NFS, then you can do this without GFS. You
can use GFS, and it will mean that clients can mount from either server,
but it sounds like overkill for this case. You simply want failover of
NFS filesystems, and that can be accomplished quite easily with AS 2.1
and RHCM. In fact, you can probably work this into your existing
environment without buying any more hardware (and I think without
purchasing new software licenses, too).

How do I get my SanDisk cruzer mini 256 mb pen drive to mount on my
Fedora Core 2 laptop?
Check to see if the pen has already been recognized by hotplug by checking for an entry in /etc/fstab
If there is not an entry there, check to see if the OS recognizes the pen. Lots of places to check..
cat /etc/proc/scsi/scsi
you should see:
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: SanDisk Model: Cruzer Mini Rev: 0.1
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
or look for it in dmesg:
dmesg | grep San
Vendor: SanDisk Model: Cruzer Mini Rev: 0.1
or in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf:
grep San hwconf
desc: "SanDisk Corporation Cruzer Mini"
usbmfr: SanDisk Corporation
desc: "Sandisk Cruzer Mini"
If the OS recognizes the pen, most likely updfstab does not have an entry for it. For RH9, entries for updfstab are in /etc/updfstab.conf.default
This is the file hotplug uses to know what to write to the fstab file so you can mount the pen.
I added an entry to the "flash" stanza:
device flash {
partition 1
match hd CompactFlash
match hd ImageMate
match hd SanDisk
match hd "USB Drive"
Once you add that, look in the fstab file to see if hotplug worked.
You will still have to mount it, it should show up as /mnt/flash

Howdy,
Thanks to everyone who helped with the linux install at the Worcester
Computer Co Op. We got alot done. Im working on the "problem children"
right now.
what was the process for running the install script in knoppix?
p
I would love one too if you guys have any left.
Thanx in advance...

Thanx for the info John. Unfortunately I can't use the Red Hat GFS, it
requires v3.0 and we cannot upgrade to that yet.
I have been pushing for it, but Oracle won't give me an definite answer
as to whether their apps are certified for RH 3.0.
We could go with Veritas' Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC, but that
would require considerable change, and no one here knows the software.
For the time being I'll probably have to go with a NAS device and make
it as redundant as possible.

This is the problem, the fact that you're using NFS in a clustered
environment. Have you looked into using a Cluster Filesystem for your
needs? Some options would be:
http://www.redhat.com/software/rha/gfs/
It even mentions Oracle 9i in the blurb.

Why do they all need to log to one filesystem? Can't they log locally
and if you want to aggregate the logs, you could rsync them hourly from
the servers to a central log host.

Yeah, what you're trying to do isn't going to work without either:
1. moving to a Cluster Filesystem so that all hosts and read/write to
the same filesystem on the Clarrion SAN concurrently.
2. moving to a Cluster setup where you have TWO servers in a cluster,
and the cluster provides the NFS file service to other servers.
3. Getting a NAS box which provides NFS service to the DB servers and
which has the require reliability you need.
I personally like NetApps, but they can be pricey. But even with a
single head, they're reliable and run well. I had one box with an
uptime of almost 500 days. Oh yeah, UPS and Generator backup helps as
well. *grin*
You could get away with using another cheaper NAS, but since you spent
the money on the SAN, why not just use that and GFS to provide the
storage you need. Esp if most of the filesystems you provide are read
(mostly) then you shouldn't have many problems.
