Another newbie question
by Craig Cameron 02 Jan '06

02 Jan '06

I'm still putting together my router/firewall, and it's going, but very slow. The problem this time is the document I'm using advises to put the following code in the startup script for the interfaces.It's supposed to be for spoofed packekts: For x in lo eth0 eth1 Do Echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/${x}/rp_filter Done The only startup script I can find that brings up the interfaces is: /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S10network Is it safe to add the above code to this file, or is there another script I should be modifiying. And yes I will make a backup of the original first. Thanks. "I Knew I should have taken that left turn at Albuquerque" -Bugs Bunny

Only after getting an appreciation for how hard it is to divine someone else's obscure code should they be unleashed on the world and allowed to create their own inscrutable incantations. That being said, I probably do most of my current development in perl which has been described as a "write only" language. I prefer to call it the Swiss Army Knife of programming languages.

Re: Max usable disk space
by Jason Ragsdale 02 Jan '06

02 Jan '06

I wonder if that would affect me as i am planning on doing 1 raid device at first, (the 4 300GB's) and making a LVM out of it. Then adding another device later with the 4 500's and adding in the new LVM drives into the current group. So i would have >2tb but it would be spread across 2 raid devices and 8 disks. -jason Quoting Mark Haney <mhaney(a)ercbroadband.org>: > Jason Ragsdale wrote: > >> All, >> I am looking to build a NSF server starting with: >> 4 x 300GB drives RAID5, and adding 4 more 500GB RAID5 drives later. >> Is there a max filesystem size limit with fedora core 4?

Eclipse & Oracle10g-EE
by Ali Helmy 02 Jan '06

02 Jan '06

Hey, I need to develop a software for a small company, but I really feel that I want to make it all based on free-software... The software will include some code (Duh) which I will write in Java, along with a DBMS... So, I was thinking of using Eclipse for developing the software, and using the new free Oracle 10g-Express Edition<http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/xe/index.html>as the DBMS... Have any of you tried this combination before? I think I'm settled about using Eclipse to develop the software, but how about the DBMS? Suggestions? -- A. Helmy

Status of nForce430 chipset support? Similar chipsets?
by dondi_2006 02 Jan '06

02 Jan '06

Hello, after I posted the message "Best/energy efficient CPU/Chipset/Motherboard for 6e4bit Fedora" (https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2006-January/msg00164.html) I spoke with a friend which only runs Windows, but spends lots of times testing PC hardware and reading reviews, benchmarks and so on. He told me if he had to build a box with the specs I have he'd use an nVidia nForce4 motherboard: starting from there, I found these two boards: ASUS A8N-VM CSM (www.dealtime.com/xPF-AMD_Motherboard_nForce430_Athlon_64FX_X2_Max_4GB_DDR_P…) and GYGABYTE GA-K8N51PVMT-9 However, I also found some Asus horror stories when used with Linux: http://forums.suselinuxsupport.de/lofiversion/index.php/t25122.html http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=388624 since the Gygabyte one has the same chipset I assume it would have very similar or identical problems. My questions are: * has anybody managed to use one of those cards with Fedora? * will there be anything in FC5 to improve the situation? * if that chipset isn't usable under Linux, what are the chipsets and microatx motherboards more similar to the two above, but perfectly supported under Linux? Thanks again, Webber
