Strange disk behavior with Fedora 9
by Dan Hensley 06 Jul '08

06 Jul '08

My system has 2 SATA drives that are identical in size. One of them has FC6 on it. It used to be my primary disk until yesterday, when I did a fresh install of FC9 on my other disk. I then swapped the SATA cables on my motherboard so that FC9 would boot. Now when I boot FC9, I get these messages about my FC6 drive: attempt to access beyond end of device sdb: rw=0, want=473290797, limit=268435455 printk: 7 messages suppressed. Buffer I/O error on device sdb5, logical block 39935552 attempt to access beyond end of device sdb: rw=0, want=473290797, limit=268435455 Buffer I/O error on device sdb5, logical block 39935552 I can mount all of the partitions (and in fact FC9 does this for me, even though I don't want it to--how do I turn this annoying behavior off???). However, I can't fdisk it: # fdisk /dev/sdb The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 16709. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Unable to seek on /dev/sdb If I swap drives around (GRUB is installed on both) so that FC6 boots, the drive appears to be just fine. Any ideas on what is going on, and how to correct it? Thanks, Dan

nfs mounting error
by Mike Chambers 06 Jul '08

06 Jul '08

All of a sudden (as in today), when trying to mount an nfs dir from one of my servers it fails. I had updated udev to latest from koji (due to bug in burning permissions), and rebooted and discovered the problem. Downgraded back to udev from updates and still have problem (yes did a reboot). Below is what I am seeing... [root@scrappy ~]# mount /home/download mount.nfs: mount to NFS server 'rpcbind' failed: RPC Error: Program not registered mount.nfs: internal error I have made sure no errors were shown when restarting/starting rpcbind and nfslock on the client side. The server side hasn't been touched so it's not that. Something on client side has to be having problem. Something with not talking with rpcbind maybe or rpcbind not really runing even though it starts? On latter statement, I also don't see rpc.mountd running on client side neither. -- Mike Chambers Fedora Project - Ambassador, Bug Zapper, Tester, User, etc.. mikec302(a)fedoraproject.org

Verizon DSL ??
by Jim 05 Jul '08

05 Jul '08

I had a bad experience with dealing with setting up a Dialup connection with Verizon, once I mention Linux the help desk, a Indian , he drop me like a hot potato, I failed to do so, never in my 100 years of use of Linux was not able to setup a Dialup connection. This computer I'm trying to get on the Internet is a Gateway it uses those small pci cards, that doesn't have a ethernet card in it, and I will have to use a rj45/USB ethernet adapter, does Verizon DSL modems have output ports for rj45 or USB connections. I have a rj45/USB ethernet adapter that works fine in Fedora.

A seemingly dumb question! Gotta ask
by Allen Meyers 05 Jul '08

05 Jul '08

My experments with puppy and my intention to go to fedora prompts this question. I was unable in puppy to set up e-mail based on my yahoo SSL protocol I assume. So I would have to go to Yahoo to check, receive and answer if necessary. So here is the seemingly dumb question. Lets assume I went totally linux, no access to windows (this will be a reality shortly) will I in fedora continue to not have e-mail capability, or is there a fetch it process by anyone that overcomes this Yahoo constraint. Please do not tell me about free yahoo mail I pay a ton each month for my yahoo DSL and plus mail would not change a thing in terms of Linux Allen

Firefox 3 keeps losing my bookmarks
by Chris Stark 05 Jul '08

05 Jul '08

Hi All, My home network consists of a few workstations that NFS-mount my home directory which is hosted on a central CentOS 5.2 server (clients use use autofs). Ever since I installed F9, I have lost my bookmarks several times, and it seems that my whole profile gets corrupted. I have tried both "async" and "sync" options with autofs, and it doesn't seem to make a difference. While it would seem that soft linking my profile to a local folder would solve the issue, it would also mean that my profile would not follow me between workstations. Is there anything I can do? I have seen mumblings on various forums that lead me to believe that Firefox doesn't work terribly well with NFS mounted profiles. Is this true? If so, it would seem to be rather short-sighted, seeing as NFS is the primary method of file sharing in Unix/Linux. Help!!! :) Thanks in advance! Aloha, Chris Stark

Is there an active repo for "passwdgen" for Fedora 9. I can find it on google as an rpm. But prefer to use a repo for ease of updates. Frank
