Alternative to a Pogoplug
by Robert Moskowitz 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

A friend has pointed me to the Pogoplug which right now can be purchased quite cheaply: e.g.: http://www.ebay.com/itm/200710735289?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984… But you have to be careful because: "That's what was advertised (the pro), and box (sealed) was labeled Pogo-P21, which should have been the dual core model, but the device was labeled Pogo-E02, which is this one: http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/pogoplug-v2-pinkgray The labeling mess seems to be as a result of them liquidating the pre-series 4 models and stuffing them into whatever boxes they have." There seems to be challenges with Fedora support for these devices? Plus it is also clear that you might not get what you paid for. Sooo.... I am looking for a cheap, low power platform with ethernet and 4 USB ports (I would even run my system drive off of USB) with 1Gb memory so I can load a current FC on it. Duo core would be valuable. I have been burned with this Lenovo not having duo core... Any recommendations?

Badblocks on the hd.
by Frank Murphy 01 Mar '12

/sbin/badblocks has informed that there are 5 bad blocks on a hd. Not in a position to replace at the moment, Only dust in the wallet. Had a look at e2fsck man e2fsck -l filename -L filename Is the "filename" automatically created. or something I need do. The fs is ext4. To my mad eyes it looks like: e2fsck -ccvp (as single user?) -- Regards, Frank "Jack of all, fubars"

Hi, since portreserve is constantly failing on my F16 systems, and based upon older and newer discussions on this topic, I wonder if it's still needed?!

It looks like you are the person doing leadership around GSoC this year. Are you interested in being Fedora's administrator for 2012? I estimate that the workload is from 0 to 2 hours per week - the administrator mainly has work to do at the beginning, at the mid-term, and at the end. However, I think we might need 10+ hours of work by the deadline of 9 March - there is work to do that normally would have been done already. If you are interested, I am offering to help you. I can help with a few hours before 9 March, and if we get accepted, I can give you training and guidance (and backup) throughout the summer. Other people will come forward to help as mentors and so forth, once there is someone who takes clear leadership.

activate CONFIG_IWLEGACY_DEBUG
by Pedro Francisco 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

I need to compile the kernel of Fedora 16 with CONFIG_IWLEGACY_DEBUG=y (apparently kernel-PAEdebug doesn't activate it). However as the SRPM for the kernel has various configs and compat-wireless applied, I'm in doubt where/what should I patch to enable CONFIG_IWLEGACY_DEBUG. Do I have to make a patch and change the SPEC to apply the patch to the config.mk of the compat-wireless? Thanks in Advance, -- Pedro
