Subject: NEC 210/SB16 SCSI2 Problem
|
|
Date: Sun, 4 Sep 1994 00:55:25 GMT
|
|
|
|
I recently purchased the Slackware release of Linux from Walnut Creek. The
|
|
problem is that I can't mount my NEC 210. I'm using a SB16-SCSI2. What
|
|
this seems to amount to, according to HOWTOs/FAQs is that the card cannot
|
|
be autodetected so I entered aha152x=0x340,11,7,1 on the command line.
|
|
Unfortunately I still can't mount the drive. The best I can do is to get
|
|
a "Not a block device" message. I scanned through various areas of internet
|
|
and saw a message about recompiling the scsi driver with parity checking
|
|
disabled. I'm not exactly sure how to do that can anyone help?

|

Hello all. First, I wish to thank all those who helped me out with my
|
|
uugetty problem. I got 8 responses, some containing the solution. :)
|
|
|
|
Now I would like to know if there is a good accounting software for
|
|
Linux. I checked sunsite.unc.edu and found acct-1.1.18, but I am running
|
|
kernel 1.1.45. Is there any accounting software that I can use on this
|
|
kernel? I could move down to 1.1.18, but I don't see linux-1.1.18.tar.gz
|
|
anywhere on sunsite, which implies I would need to get 1.1.0 and apply a
|
|
bunch of patches or some other nonsense. acct-1.1.18 is a patch itself,
|
|
which is why it won't work with 1.1.45. It finds several differences in
|
|
the code. I tried recompiling the kernel anyway, and it didn't get very
|
|
far at all. I am not nearly good enough at C to resolve the differences
|
|
myself. Thanks for any info you can provide.

Even this will be very difficult (if not impossible) if your system
|
|
is configured properly. You can set the restricted attribute in
|
|
your lilo.conf, and it will be impossible to enter singleusermode
|
|
without knowing the bootpw.

Yes... check your termination! Suns (SPARCs particularly) are very lax
|
|
about needing termination on external devices and thus it's not uncommon
|
|
to see the scsi bus flapping about in the wind with the system working
|
|
properly.... If Linux ids the device at boot time (it's answering an
|
|
identify command) that does not mean it will operate properly. The
|
|
symptoms you describe sound like what happened to me when I accidentally
|
|
knocked an external cable loose between scsi devices.
|
|
|
|
Also, these devices are VERY picky about cleanliness... make sure you
|
|
regularly clean the heads with an APPROVED soft material head cleaner...
|
|
not the type you find in video stores!
|
|
|
|
Hope this helps!

Sorry to dissapoint you - old, old fact: many systems limit password to 8
|
|
characters; you'll notice all your passwords are too long, which is the
|
|
real problem - nothing to do with numbers or letters or anything like that.
|
|
|
|
For this reason system admins should probably be telling people to _precede_
|
|
their passwords with all the special CRACK foiling characters ...

I know this has been asked, but I may have missed the answer. Is there a
|
|
way if someone dials into the system, and then goes on vacation, to have
|
|
the system hang them up? Of course, the key is to identify that there is
|
|
no activity going on. I read in the Korn Shell book by O'Reilly that
|
|
there was a variable TMOUT that could be used for this. I checked and
|
|
don't find any reference to this in slackware documentation.
|
|
|
|
If anyone has a script or trap setups, or any solution for that matter,
|
|
could you please email me a copy or point me in the right direction. If
|

someone can tell me what to look for I'll write the scripts myself and
|

post them.

It's more critical than that: tar is a "block device" archiver, that
|
|
means it use N blocks for each file archived with a block size of Nx512 bytes
|
|
(default N=20). Suppose you have 100 small files of 512 bytes, each of them will
|
|
require one 20x512 bytes long block, 1000kb for them all to be compare with
|
|
100x512 = 50kb.
|
|
|
|
If you first archive files, then compress the archive file, gzip will
|
|
well compress the lost space at the end of blocks. If you first compress then
|
|
archive, you will have small files but will never compress the lost spaces !
|
|
|
|
The best solution is definitively to use "tar zcf".

I tried result = request_dma( fdc.dma, "ftape");
|

But now I wonder if it matters and if one is better than the other?
|
|
In /usr/src/linux/kernel/dma.c the function is defined as
|
|
int request_dma(unsigned int dmanr, char * deviceID)
|
|
which implies to me that a deviceID would be "better". Since I'm

so new to C, I'll leave it at that :)

It can definitelyt read all incoming packets on all the cards I use
|
|
(barring etherexpress) otherwise tcpdump wouldnt work. Outgoing packet
|
|
viewing is very recent but now works.

Ok, got this set of net-tools and have noticed a problem.
|
|
|
|
/tmp|Sun8:49am} hostname
|
|
dial221.tele
|
|
/tmp|Sun8:52am} domainname
|
|
dial221.tele
|
|
|
|
Why should domainname not return:
|
|
|
|
/tmp|Sun8:52am} domainname --domain
|
|
tele.iastate.edu
|
|
|
|
or in my case the true answer would be iastate.edu.
|
|
|
|
This is what I expect:
|
|
|
|
domainname -> iastate.edu
|
|
hostname -> dial221.tele or dial221.tele.iastate.edu
