ATA2:00: link is slow to respond....
by Angelo Moreschini
Hi,
my computer boot only in emergency mode ...
Looking the journalctl (command journalctl -xb), I found (in thejournalctl
) these lines in red color :
ATA2:00: link is slow to respond....
(and after..)
ATA200: SRST failed (erro 16)
That seem indicate that it is a problem to access the HDs..
I found a possible solution to the problem in this post:
http://codeverge.com/opensuse.org.help.install/-solved-ata1-srst-failed-e...
There is wrote that :...the problem can depend by the physic set up of the
HD (as "master", "slave", "single drive", ...): this set up can be done by
changing the position of a jumper on the HD...
I know that, in the past time, the HDs had to be set physically in this
way.., but recently I never heart anymore that the modern HD need this
operation..
So actually I don't care anymore of the configuration of the HDs
(my HD is Toshiba 1 TB that I bought few mounts ago).
I would like to have a confirmation that what I read in the post is only an
obsolete information and, in any case, I would like to know also what I can
do to go around in my problem..
>From the command line: ls /dev/sd* I get:
give me this input :
/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb2
Thank you
regards
Angelo

nc missing option -z
by Suvayu Ali
Hi,
I used to use netcat to check if a particular host is up or if I have
internet connection before I run a few scripts. I would use the -z
option in particular. But now I see that has been removed:
$ nc -z imap.gmail.com 993 && sync-my-email.sh
ncat: invalid option -- 'z'
Here is the excerpt from the old manual page:
-z Specifies that nc should just scan for listening daemons, without
sending any data to them. It is an error to use this option in
conjunction with the -l option.
Any ideas what happened to it? What can I use as replacement?
Thanks for any ideas.

F21: Thunderbird insists on calling Fedora list messages junk!
by William Mattison
Good afternoon,
Most messages received from this fedora list are labelled junk by
Thunderbird. This is even though I whitelisted "From" =
"users-request(a)lists.fedoraproject.org". Actually, I have this problem
both in my Fedora-21 and my windows-7 systems. Any ideas? Surely
messages from this list are not junk!
thanks,
Bill.

Kernel 4.1.4 breaks external display
by CS DBA
Hi All;
I'm running Fedora 21 on a Dell M3800 laptop, been working great.
Updating to the latest kernel however breaks my external display
i.e. I plug the external monitor in and nothing happens, previous to the
update when I plug in the external monitor
the system would auto configure the second screen and I could use both
monitors.
I've googled the issue but not found anything.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance

multipathd rienstated message filling up log
by Shawn Bakhtiar
Good morning,
/var/log/messages is being filled with following message "multipathd: 104:0: reinstated". I though it might be a bad controller card, or something wrong with the hardware as suggested in IRC, but I have installed FC 22 64bit on two separate machines (same configuration) and I’m getting these same message.
The messages don’t seem to be effecting performance or have any effect on data, and short of being annoying, I want to make sure there is not some more serious/heinous issue going on that I need to be aware of.
Machine Specs:
Proliant DL160 Smart Array E200 controller running RAID 1 (250GB mirrored).

Moving Fedora 22 to RAID 0 - Trouble with initramfs
by Samuel Rakitničan
I have moved / partition to another partition formed in RAID 0
consisting of two SSDs. I have updated fstab with new partition UUID,
reinstalled GRUB2 and rebuild initramfs using dracut -f. Now computer
boots fine from RAID partition but hangs on when initramfs needs to
boot kernel from / partition found on RAID, because it can't find
partition with UUID that I've put in fstab.
Now from what I have understood when it drops me to dracut prompt in
initramfs boot process I indeed can't find the RAID assembled BUT I
can assemble it manually by using "mdadm -I /dev/sda" and "mdadm -I
/dev/sdb". If I boot from old hard drive the RAID is assembled
normally in kernel on boot time:
$ journalctl -b | grep "kernel: md"
Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: bind<sdb>
Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: bind<sda>
Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: bind<sdb>
Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: bind<sda>
Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: raid0 personality registered
for level 0
Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md/raid0:md126: md_size is
500129792 sectors.
Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: RAID0 configuration for md126 - 1 zone
Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: zone0=[sda/sdb]
Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: zone-offset= 0KB,
device-offset= 0KB,
Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel:
Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md126: detected capacity change
from 0 to 256066453504
Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md126: p1 p2 p3
Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: export_rdev(sdb)
Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: export_rdev(sda)
Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: export_rdev(sdb)
Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: export_rdev(sda)
The RAID is formed using onboard southbridge Intel controller. I have
managed to extract data from initramfs but I am not sure what to look
for, in particular what brings up RAID assembly.
/etc/udev/rules.d/65-md-incremental-imsm.rules seems like it's
responsible to assemble, but I am not sure.
Any thoughts why imsm RAID is not assembled in initramfs on boot?

sometimes xfce turns crazy
by François Patte
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Bonjour,
As I use to suspend for some time my computer every day without any
problems, today I am asked to get authenticated as root to perform
this action (as well as to shutdown the computer...)
I did not update my system, I did not change anything to my config, I
did not install any new software....
This kind of problem sucks!!!
Thank you for any clue!

rsync checksum to compare directories
by Chris Murphy
# rsync -rvnc --delete /brick0 /brick1
I've confirmed that separate devices are mounted to /brick0 and
/brick1. What I'm seeing for ~ 20 minutes now is only the device
mounted at brick0 is being accessed, and yet I'm seeing piles of files
(verbose option) being listed.
I'd expect that there'd be some back and forth as the checksum
comparison happens almost simultaneously. Any ideas how this ought to
work? Is rsync caching the checksums for brick0, and then it'll go
compute checksums on brick1 and compare?
Maybe I should use diff -qr because this is just too much verbosity
anyway. I don't need every file listed. I only want to know if there
are any files that are different (deleted), but I don't know if I get
any delete notification from rsync without -v.
