Yep, names like p4p1 are soooo much better than eth0 :-(
by Tom Horsley 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

Especially when a new biosdevname package is installed and it decides the name is no longer p4p1, but is now p6p1. All the iptables rules that refer to the interface name are broken. The ifcfg-p4p1 file needs to be renamed and edited. Wasn't the theory propounded that these new names would cause less confusion? (And why was having some disks named hda0 versus sda0 confusing, so we had to change all the names to sda0? Can these two theories be made compatible? :-).

Is btrfs ready to be default fs in F17 ?
by JB 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

Hi, Ext3, ext4, xfs and btrfs filesystems comparison on Linux kernel 3.0.0 http://www.ilsistemista.net/index.php/linux-a-unix/21-ext3-ext4-xfs-and-btr… Various tests show ext3 and ext4 are the leaders, with btrfs in last place (also using way more CPU than the others). Obviously something is going wrong ... Are we in a "progress"-in-reverse mode in fs land ? Could we ask btrfs devs to present their own test results ? After SELinux straitjacket, GNOME 3 stroke of genius, and Systemd's search for God particle, everybody else in the Twilight Zone is following downhill ... Perhaps you could make your statement in the upcoming Fedora Project Board and FESCo elections ? JB

NFS Error
by Geoffrey Leach 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

The mounting of an exported filesystem from F15 by F10 yields the following error: mount.nfs: Unknown error 521. Anyone care to suggest an interpretation? FWIW, here's a more detailed explanation. The F15 system exports three filesystems: /, /usr/local and /home/ geoff. All were successfully exported on F14. They were re-exported on F15. Here's etc/exports: / pvr (rw,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,nohide) /usr/local pvr (rw,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,nohide) /home/geoff pvr (rw,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,nohide) Sorry about the formatting. The one with the problem is /home/geoff.

Using Crosstool with SCTP
by Vishwas Dubey 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

Hi, I have a problem with building my SCTP program using crosstool. Please let me know how to configure to be able to build SCTP program by crosstool. I get the following error while building my SCTP program:- sctpsrvr.c:18:26: error: netinet/sctp.h: No such file or directory sctpsrvr.c: In function 'main': sctpsrvr.c:25: error: storage size of 'initmsg' isn't known sctpsrvr.c:45: error: 'SCTP_INITMSG' undeclared (first use in this function) sctpsrvr.c:45: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once sctpsrvr.c:45: error: for each function it appears in.) I am using FC14. Please note that I am able to compile and run my SCTP program without using crosstool. Also, I am not using lksctp-tools for SCTP. I am using SCTP as a kernel built in module that comes with kernel for FC14. I have been able to install SCTP headers on my system, so they end up in /usr/include/netinet/, but I am not sure how to install them for the crosstool toolchain. I even tried to replace netinet/sctp.h with /usr/include/netinet/sctp.h but I got the exact same error as above. I am not sure, how to fix this issue. Thanks in advance. Vishwas

wildcards to list a group of files in sequential numerical order ?
by linux guy 07 Nov '11

07 Nov '11

I'd like to list all the files with names between DSC_6035.NEF and DSC_6072.NEF. How do I do this ? I tried using DSC_[6035-6072].NEF, but that doesn't work. It lists files outside the desired range. The [ ] operator needs just 1 character parameter to work properly ???? Thanks !

corrupted MAC error -- fixed but not solved
by Gerhard Magnus 07 Nov '11

07 Nov '11

Here's the problem -- fixed, but not solved: A small LAN with three boxes and hardwired ethernet connections through a router. PuteF: server, running FC15 (x86) and LXDE PuteB: running FC13 (386) and gnome PuteD: running FC15 (386) and KDE I can transfer files between PuteB and PuteD using scp without any problems. Regardless of which machine the scp is initiated on, all file transfers between PuteF and PuteB, and between PuteF and PuteD fail with the error message "Corrupted MAC on input. Disconnecting: Packet corrupt. lost connection." The time this takes to happen varies within a few minutes. Things tried without success: (1) installing a new ethernet card on PuteF and connecting it to the router with a new cable (2) connecting PuteF and PuteB using every possible combination of ports on the router (3) running a new long ethernet cable directly from PuteB to PuteF (4) reinstalling FC15 (x86) on PuteF (5) installing the 386 version of FC15 on PuteF What worked: Installing FC14 (x86) on PuteF -- which, obviously, is only a short-term fix. Is this a bug in FC15? Or a feature of FC15 that can't deal with my older hardware? Assuming the latter, how old is "too old" hardware for FC15? I bought the box (Intel dual core with 4GB memory) in 2007 from one of those priceless dealers who builds them and is then a victim of his success. There haven't been any problems with this box (despite a lot of use) until a hard drive crash about a month ago, when I took it into the shop for a full checkup. (Presumably this would have included memory diagnostics.) The hard drives are also new. I started having these problems as soon as I installed FC15 (x86).
