Well, the question is , if I have SAMBA, what are this kernel options
for?
or if I use the kernel options, do I still need SAMBA?,
or if the kernel options are set, how do I use SAMBA with these
options set?
I have already configured SAMBA in another network and it works well,
but recently i found out this options in configuring kernel.

This is all great info, thanks for all the insight.
I, ( meaning the company I work for ) bought 4 x 500 GB Fantom drives
( Century Corp.) to use for acquisition data.
The one we had for our team is a Lacie. This is the one that had major
issues.
I've since retired it to NTFS only, but I had created an ext3
filesystem using the whole drive.
I don't recall ever running fdisk to create a partition. Just
wondering whether it was me or the drive.

Thanks again.

Or do you probably mean commands like "od"(octaldump) or
"hd" (hexdump)?

Converting Windows Software Raid 5 to Linux Software Raid 5

Even if your guess is incorrect, why would you even want to keep the
Windows RAID around? It's probably better to start over from scratch.
To that end, you need to back up your important data somehow and restore
once you have linux installed. If you don't currently have a backup
solution, you should really have one anyway, so now's a good time to
implement one and test it.

How did you wind up with the spare? Interrupted a previous
installaiton?

I personally find it useful as a debugging step on development sytems,
or systems that failed updates, to issue a "rpm -qa --qf '%{name}\n' |
sort | uniq -d" now and then, to find exactly this sort of problem.

should exist.

Random guess, the user apache runs as, apache/httpd or alike
doesn't have the permissions to look into ~zaman? Apache logs
(error_log) should tell the complete story.

Want to try Linux--how to partition WinXP disk without losing data.

Sorry, no: I do not use XP. When appropriately
backed up you can experiment with the software
you already have.

Want to try Linux--how to partition WinXP disk w/o losing data.

Posted: 17 Apr 2007 04:08 PM PDT


I'll 2nd that as thats what I did, but first make sure you defrag the drive
a few times, then put the ubuntu CD in and reboot. Once you have rebooted
you can have the choice to install Ubuntu over the whole disk or create in
free space. GParted the partition application opens up if you select free
space and you can reduce the size of the initial partition and create a new
one.

Backup your data and have the WinXP disc handy, just in case things go
wrong. Fingers crossed.

Try this appending "init=/bin/bash" to the kernel boot line.

This should give you a bash shell very early before anything in rc
run. More than probably you will need to remount the root partition
rw to change the passwd. BTW don't rely on mount since it will give
you bad info about mounted partitions.

This looks suspiciously like you have a carriage return at the end of that
previous line. There should not be.
 

Now why would you comment them out? Make sure that they are correct, rather
than commenting them out.

So delete the ones you don't need, or build your own kernel.
 

Microkernel architecture would make no difference at all to this.

No video or garbage in text mode after compiling new kernel

OK, I have checked the video settings but, as I have been setting some
options to NO (in order to get an optimum kernel and get rid of the
options and modules that I do not need), found that after I configure
and compile kernet (2.6.20.3), there is no TEXT video. I can do a
blind login and make startx, then I get X (KDE) running fine. I
checked dmesg and found the following line:

Console: colour dummy device

I tried to set [Device drivers:Graphics support:Console display driver
support]DUMMY_CONSOLE <- N but the option is grayed out (make xconfig)
and cannot be modified.

Well, I think this will solve the issue. Is not it?
