How to list this data -
by Bob Goodwin 01 Nov '09

01 Nov '09

I can extract the following usage data from the Wildblue html usage screen. I would like to have them in a file that would put the data on a horizontal line separated by some white space perhaps. My objective being to keep a record of daily bandwidth usage. [35% or 6.0 gB is my current usage, 17.0 the 30 day download allotment, the other numbers for upload usage.] [bobg@box9 ~]$ cat /home/bobg/usg.txt 35 % 6.0 17.0 8 % 0.4 5.0 I've been puzzling over this since yesterday, I'm sure there must be a simple solution but I just haven't found it. Can someone point me in the right direction? Bob .

How up-to-date are the nightly-compose builds?
by Joshua C. 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

I looked at http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/kde/ and saw that those are build every night from the current rawhide.However the packages, they are build from, aren't the latest ones available in koji for the specific date. For example kde-x86_64-20091030.15.iso (composed in 17:19) contains kernel-2.6.31.5-96.fc12 from 24-oct-2009, not the latest kernel-2.6.31.5-105.fc12 from 29-oct-2009. The STATEPATH=http://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/developm… but there is no access to this. So how up-to-date are those builds?

raid1 mystery & workaround
by Paul Johnson 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

Hi, everybody. I've found a workaround for a problem with a raid 1 array. I'm posting to share the "solution" and to ask why this went wrong in the first place. On an old test machine, I have 2 4-year-old Seagate IDE drives in raid1 mirror for my home partition. One failed and Seagate was very very pleasant to replace it. I didn't even need a receipt! They just went by the serial number to conclude I was in warranty. I followed "the usual" procedure for failed drives. mdadm marked the drive as a failure and it was removed from the array. Then I tried to add it back into the raid 1. One of the HOWTOs I relied on was this one: http://www.howtoforge.com/replacing_hard_disks_in_a_raid1_array Here's what went wrong. After being added, the new drive went through a long "recovery" process--2 hours--but when it finished, the new drive was marked as "spare" and the raid 1 array continued to show only one drive was active. Every time the system restarts, the new drive tries to resync itself, it copies for 2 hours, but it never enters the array. It is always spare. In the end, gave up trying to fix /dev/md0. I "guessed" a solution--create a new /dev/md1 device and refit the system to use that. I explain that fix below, in case the same problem hits other people. But I'm still curious to know why it did not work. Now the details: The raid1 array was /dev/md0 and it used disks sdb1 and sdc1 and the one that failed was sdb1. Here's what I saw while the new drive was being added: # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md0 : active raid1 sdc1[1] sdb1[2] 244195904 blocks [2/1] [_U] [==================>..] recovery = 94.4% (230658240/244195904) finish=6.9min speed=32396K/sec unused devices: <none> # mdadm --examine /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb1: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 0.90.00 UUID : 37e6e9b6:34cdfcb2:63afba50:8b88d6fc Creation Time : Sat Aug 18 19:10:40 2007 Raid Level : raid1 Used Dev Size : 244195904 (232.88 GiB 250.06 GB) Array Size : 244195904 (232.88 GiB 250.06 GB) Raid Devices : 2 Total Devices : 2 Preferred Minor : 0 Update Time : Thu Oct 29 00:35:50 2009 State : clean Active Devices : 1 Working Devices : 2 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 1 Checksum : a557d3b3 - correct Events : 6874 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State this 2 8 17 2 spare /dev/sdb1 0 0 0 0 0 removed 1 1 8 33 1 active sync /dev/sdc1 2 2 8 17 2 spare /dev/sdb1 After the rebuild was done, here's the situation: the new drive is a spare: # mdadm --examine /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdc1: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 0.90.00 UUID : 37e6e9b6:34cdfcb2:63afba50:8b88d6fc Creation Time : Sat Aug 18 19:10:40 2007 Raid Level : raid1 Used Dev Size : 244195904 (232.88 GiB 250.06 GB) Array Size : 244195904 (232.88 GiB 250.06 GB) Raid Devices : 2 Total Devices : 2 Preferred Minor : 0 Update Time : Thu Oct 29 00:35:50 2009 State : clean Active Devices : 1 Working Devices : 2 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 1 Checksum : a557d3c7 - correct Events : 6874 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State this 1 8 33 1 active sync /dev/sdc1 0 0 0 0 0 removed 1 1 8 33 1 active sync /dev/sdc1 2 2 8 17 2 spare /dev/sdb1 # mdadm --query /dev/md0 /dev/md0: 232.88GiB raid1 2 devices, 1 spare.

I tried "grow" the array, set the number of spares to 0, and so forth. No success. After a lot of tries, I gave up trying to get /dev/md0 to work. So I stopped it, and the used the "--assume-clean" option to create a new array on md1. I found that suggestion here http://neverusethisfont.com/blog/tags/mdadm/ # mdadm -S /dev/md0 # mdadm --create --assume-clean --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/md1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdb1 That works! So I just needed to reset the configuration to use that. First, grab the metadata # mdadm --detail --scan ARRAY /dev/md1 metadata=0.90 UUID=6a408f8b:515f605f:bfe78010:bc810f04 And revise the mdadm.conf file # cat /etc/mdadm.conf DEVICE /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 ARRAY /dev/md1 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=6a408f8b:515f605f:bfe78010:bc810f04 devices=/dev/sdc1,/dev/sdb1 And I changed /etc/fstab to point at md1, not md0. But why did /dev/md0 hate me in the first place? I wonder if it was personal :( -- Paul E. Johnson Professor, Political Science 1541 Lilac Lane, Room 504 University of Kansas

Why should a machine not boot liveCD if HD fails?
by mike cloaked 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

In the past few days as some will know from a previous thread I had a total failure of a machine that is now resolved after replacing the hard drive - however one thing puzzles me - why would a computer with a failed SATA hard drive be unable to boot from a liveDVD in the optical drive? Maybe this is a suitable mystery to solve as we come to Halloween! -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Why-should-a-machine-not-boot-liveCD-if-HD-fails--tp2… Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
