FC3 + SATA RAID
by Markus Nicolussi
Hello everybody!
I'm waiting for a Fedora Release which supports my SATA RAID set. I'm
wondering if FC3 is what i'm waiting for...
I have the ASUS A7N8Deluxe with the Silicon Image Sil 3112A-Controller with
and RAID 0/1-support in the _BIOS_. That means: I have a config tool in the
BIOS and there i can merge my 2 SATA Disks to one big (striped RAID 0).
After doing this, for the OS it looks as if i have one big, fast disk. With
the drivers SiI supports for WinXP and RH9 (
http://12.24.47.40/display/2n/kb/article.asp?aid=10767
) u can use this one big, fast virtual disk.
You may ask why i don't want to use SW RAID. I have installed windowsXP (4
gaming) and want to use the free space after the XP partition 4 Linux.
Therefore i have to use a Linux which can see the big virtual disk the BIOS
displays, like with the driver from SiI. At the moment this is RH9, but RH9
is old... i want to use Fedora.
Now i googled for hours and searched the fedora mailing list archives and
can't find a webpage which informs me of the current state of the linux
kernel driver and the support in fedora respectively the fedora installer
anaconda.
==> Does such a webpage exist? / Where can i keep myselfe informed?
==> has anaconda integrated dmraid or raiddetect support in FC3? / When will
Fedora support BIOS RAID arrays?
sincerely,
nico.

PROPOSAL: Core size reduction "bug day"
by David Nielsen
As everyone probably knows a few days ago a suggestion was brought up
that we start moving none essential stuff like KDE, XFce and a lot of
the other duplication into Extras in order to reduce the size of Core.
I'm hereby proposing we hold a bug day on IRC, Saturday the 31th to
debate the possibility of such an action and which programs to move in
that is the case.
So far people have express a desire to move:
KDE
XFce
Balsa
Ethereal
Xmms
Eye of GNOME
GNOME Office
Expression of wondering was made over the following areas in terms of
duplication:
MTA
(as I recall at least, list might be inaccurate)
Remember moving software to Core does not mean eliminating choice, you
are still free to use the Extra repo, it means strenghting the defaults.

Automake 1.9 breakage
by Steve G
Hi,
The new automake 1.9 breaks several packages. find-utils was the first one I ran
into. You get messages like this:
Remember to add `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL' to `configure.in'.
Using `AC_PROG_RANLIB' is rendered obsolete by 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'
This is easily fixed by using AC_PROG_LIBTOOL instead of AC_PROG_RANLIB. But then
you find that the scripts generated by automake 1.9 are much stricted. You get
stuff like this next:
locate/testsuite/Makefile.am:16: required directory locate/testsuite/inputs
does not exist
The easy fix is to delete that directory from the Makefile.am in
locate/testsuite.
The next package with breakage is shadow-utils. You get a message like this:
libtool: unrecognized option `--tag=CC'
Try `libtool --help' for more information.
That message comes from ./libtool in the shadow-utils build directory. This file
is generated from configure. But in it I find:
# The names of the tagged configurations supported by this script.
available_tags=" CXX F77"
It never detected CC.
I really think this will be a big push up to convert things over to the new
automake. I will put the findutils patch in bugzilla.

OOo NWF status?
by Peter Backlund
Hello.
What's the status of the Gtk version of NWF for OpenOffice.org? I
believe the OOo shipped with SuSE 9.1 was built with NWF/QT support, and
the timeframe for NWF was that it was supposed to be ready around 1.1.2
(last I heard).
Would it be possible to reduce the flicker in the interface when
resizing the main window or the file dialog without changing the
underlying toolkit? It is quite noticable, and my guess is that it's due
to missing double-buffering?

IDEA: Shortening boot-time
by Hans de Goede
Hi,
I'll post my self intro message later, I've been not sleeping alnight
thinking about a scheme to speed up desktop start-up times for Fedora,
and want to get it out of my head before I loose parts of it.
The basic idea is todo things the XP way and loads lotts of (cr)app(s)
while the user is already seeing a GUI.
For this we need a couple of basic changes:
-remove starting of prefdm from inittab and make it a service
-add a prefdm-early service, which as the name says starts early if
possible (right after kudzu), and which avoids the prefdm service from
starting by using the same subsys lock.
-move starting some of slow things from rc.sysinit to a service, detect
if they really needed early in rc.sysinit and then call/source the
service script.
-Introduce a desktop config flag somewhere in /etc/sysconfig, which:
makes sysinitrc skip lotts of enterprise setup stuff
-Introduce a desktop kernel as a counterwheight to the enterprise
kernels which leaves out more advanced server stuff such as raid,
devicemapper, advanced routing, etc.
Now the dirty inner workings of my scheme:
------------------------------------------
Delay USB-init:
-usb (including the sleep call, GRRR) is moved from rc.sysinit to a
service, which starts before networking, but after prefdm-early.
-in rc.sysinit, at the place where usb used to be, take for each
line /etc/fstab which is not a comment, empty and doesnot contain
noauto, if it begins with LABEL=, see if we have a partition with such
a delay. if it begins with /dev/, see if we can open the device
-check if we can open /dev/input/mous0 and /dev/input/keyboard0
-now if one of the LABELs or devices can't be openened, we
probably have an USB attached disk, or HID device we need, so start USB
now
-on a normal desktop, all these checks should work without USB, so usb
will be started later as part of the runlevel, again the subsyslock
should avoid double starting.
-ofcourse there needs to be a way to tell rc.sysinit to always load USB
early
Delay loading scsi modules and the long scsi chain scan:
-on some systems, people have a scsi-card for say a scanner, or
because the bought a cdrecorder in the days atapi was unreliable,
so they have scsi but they don't have any disks attached!
-make mkinitrd try to rmmod sd_mod, if this succeeds scsi is clearly
not needed for disks, so don't put the scsi modules in the initrd
-add a scsi-service which loads the modules when initrd hasn't done so
already.
-of course there needs to be a way to tell mkinitrd to always load the
scsi modules.
Services prefdm-pre-net and prefdm-post-net:
-the pre-net prefdm checks if the user has choicen an authentication
method which requires networking and checks /etc/fstab for
netfilesystems on vital places like /usr, /home. If neither of these
are there it starts the prefdm service.
(netfs mounts like /archive or /lotsofmp3s really aren't all that
interesting to get mounted instant IMHO)
(the checking for netfs can be done in the loop in sysinitrc and then
be reported to this script in someway)
-the post-net script always starts prefdm, it is there for admins to
remove in ntsysv if they want the old behaviour where prefdm starts
last, maybe the prefdm-*-net scripts, could even go in a sperate RPM,
which then can just be removed be people who think this is a bug
instead of a feature.
-the real prefdm service should thus get prio99, moving rc.local to prio
98
Well I'm sure this idea is full of holes, so shoot. But please this is
not meant as an invitation to start a flamewar about how FC / linux
startup time sucks, if you want to talk about that talk to the wall,
ceiling or floor.
Regards,
Hans
