How to join to private networks

by Skip Gaede

Hi, My son-in-law has two offices, one in Worcester and one in Brocton, and he want to logically tie them together. The office in Brocton has a dialup connection to AOL, while the office in Worcester has a DSL connection.

Help! - Final

by Michael Long

I ended up buying SuSE 8.2 and installing it on another drive. I then used reiserfsck that came with it to repair the partition. Big mistake, the data was lost. Now I am off to rebuild my system from backups. :(

update to latests rieserfs tools as I posted before: http://www.namesys.com/download.html Download the reiserfsprogs-3.6.8.tar.gz tar xvfz <file.tar.gz>, RTFM, follow the directions. The reiserfs tools you have with Suse 7.x are for sure pretty old. Then run the same reiserfsck --fix-fixable /dev/hda5 with the new version. reiserfsck -V to check your current verion. I bet it's much older than 3.6.8 might want to do some homework on google. On Tue, 24 Jun 2003, Michael Long wrote: > I got the bright idea...finally...to look at the boot partition > (hdb5).

I got the bright idea...finally...to look at the boot partition (hdb5). I ran badblock and it came back with no bad blocks. Next reiserfsck --fix-fixable /dev/hda5 was run with the following results: reiserfs_open: bitmap 0 was marked free reiserfs_open: first bitmap looks corrupted Analyzing journal..Segmentation fault Could this be why my drives are mounting as readonly?

How to's on: http://www.tldp.org/ However, it might be easiest for you to just upgrade to the latest version of SuSE. I think it's 8.2 now, which is much new than what your running. This will upgrade all your software including the kernel and reiserfs tools. google is always good.

Up to this point I have only installed SuSE and upgraded my system with SuSE upgrade tools. I am now in the process of learning how file systems work so I might as well learn how to build and install a new kernel.

Re: [Wlug] Help! part 3

other things. I checked kernel.org and in 2.4.21 changelog there were bug fixes in reiserfs. not sure if it was related to your problem, but wouldn't hurt to upgrade to the latest kernel. Also checkout the docs/faq at the reiserfs page: http://www.namesys.com/ I would go for trying to get the latest kernel, and the latest rieserfsck to run without error. good luck!

reiserfsck now has no errors? reiserfsck -V what version are you using? I would also recommend using kernel 2.4.19 as recommended on: http://www.namesys.com/download.html also use the latest reiserfs tools. download and install reiserfsprogs-3.6.8.tar.gz the latest version might be able to fix your problem.

When messing around with the filesystem allways a good idea to make backups, just incase. I would continue to expore the reiserfsck option. possibly one or more of the options: --rebuild-tree --rebuild-sb --fix-fixable What does reiserfsck --check do? have you run a badblocks check on the device?

Re: [Wlug] Help! part 3

I have 2 disks in my system. Disk 1(hda) has windows and SuSE7.3 installed on it. Disk 2(hdb) has SuSE 8.0. When booting SuSE8.0 it mounts the partition hdb7 ("/") as readonly. This was not the case until the system was rebooted last week. Prior to the reboot I could read and write to the partition. I was out of town when I started having connectivity issues and had the wife reboot the machine. I had ownly been accessing the machine for email and file storage and don't know what has changed. When booting into SuSE 7.3 I can mount hdb7 as rw. I believe the problem has something to do with the boot process but am not sure.

man mount have you tried remounting it as rw. specify when you call mount to remount it as rw. otherwise explore the riserfsck more. Something to try.. If nothing else, backup the data and reformat the partition. On Sun, 22 Jun 2003, Michael Long wrote: > > Reiserfsck has been run successfully and the system is still > mounting / as readonly.

Help! - part 2

by Michael Long

I have now been able to boot the system using another drive. The original boot drive (hda7) can be mounted successfully with the following fstab configuration: /dev/hda7 /data2 reiserfs noauto,user 0 0 When reiserfsck /data2 is run I get the following messages: reiserfs_open: bread failed reading block 16 reiserfs_open: bread failed reading block 2 reiserfs_open: neither new nor old reiserfs format found on /data2 reiserfsck: --rebuild-sb may restore reiserfs super block What are the ramifications of running this? Is this something that can cause the data on the disk to be lost? Thanks for any help, Mike

Help! System booting as readonly

by Michael Long

While away on business I lost the ability to ssh into my computer. I had my wife ping it from within the home network and she was unable to. After walking her through some ifconfig diagnostics (she is a technically challanged individual) I next had her reboot the box in the hope that it would "fix" the problem. It did not solve the problem. Now that I am home I see that it is mounting the drives as readonly. The following is a partial listing of the dmesg: kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2 VFS: Mounted root (reiserfs filesystem) readonly Trying to move old root to /initrd ... failed Unmounting old root clm-6006: writing inode 927 on readonly FS clm-6006: writing inode 927 on readonly FS clm-6005: writing inode 927 on readonly FS clm-6006: writing inode 927 on readonly FS clm-6006: writing inode 927 on readonly FS clm-6005: writing inode 927 on readonly FS How do I go about diagnosing and fixing this problem?

REMINDER: Meeting on Wednesday, June 18th

by Andy Stewart

Hi everybody, The next WLUG meeting will be on Wednesday, June 18th in a different place. This time, we're in Olin Hall room 107 (the big lecture hall on the left on the first floor of Olin Hall). More detailed directions are available on the WLUG website. The meeting time is the usual 7:00 PM. A couple of people had mentioned an interest in addressing WLUG, but I currently don't have a definite commitment for a speaker for this meeting. I would therefore llke to use this as a planning meeting to decide what activities the group would like to pursue over the next few months. Perhaps these folks would like to make a commitment for a future WLUG meeting (if so, please contact me directly). I'll bring some light refreshments. If there are enough of us, we'll go to the Boynton Restaurant afterwards for pizza/beer. See ya later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org
