I've had power cuts on XFS systems and I've never lost any data that  
wasn't in the process of being written.   In any filesystem you're  
going to lose data in a power cut, and there aren't a lot of  
situations where a truncated file is useful to me anyway, so I don't  
generally worry too much about that, as long as the filesystem itself  
stays intact.



I haven't had an IDE controller failures, so I can't say how XFS  
would cope with that.  I did have problems with an IDE controller on  
a ReiserFS system, and the result was massive filesystem corruption.   
I was eventually able to recover most of the data with reiserfsck,  
but it required a long process of tree rebuilding, followed by hand- 
renaming hundreds of files that now had only inode numbers.  I kind  
of shy away from ReiserFS now, partly because it seems fragile, and  
partly because of doubts about its future -- ReiserFS v3 is no longer  
being maintained, v4 is incompatible, and the original designer is no  
longer involved with the project due to unrelated legal problems.



My workaday filesystem for things like home directories is still  
ext3fs.  I only use XFS when I have a special situation that plays up  
some of ext3's less desirable performance characteristics, like  
frequent deleting of large files.  I used to also favor XFS when I  
needed POSIX ACLs, because ACL support was more mature, but ext3  
seems to have caught up.


Do you need help?X

Time to file a warranty claim, I'm guessing.  Maxtor has their own  
test utility, which you might as well download because they'll want  
an error code from it before they do an exchange.

Post your /etc/cups/printers.conf please. (Watch out, this file can
contain clear-text passwords if you have configured networked printing.
If this is the case then it is advisable to replace the sensitive data
with generic placeholders before posting.)

The online documentation also has some great examples, as well as  
discussion about what you want to do to get the best quality in  
various situations.

dvbcut is also useful.  It lets you edit MPEG files and cut out clips  
without re-encoding the whole file.

Content-Type: text/plain;

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I've been working on a project with some Linksys routers.  New routers 
are set to use the IP address 192.168.1.1 and my network uses the 
172.16.*.* address space.  I've had this in my 
workstation's /etc/network/interfaces file:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 172.16.7.11
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 172.16.7.1

To access the Linksys routers when I first get them, I added this:

auto eth0:0
iface eth0:0 inet static
address 192.168.1.128
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 172.16.7.1

Then I restarted my network and I have eth0:0 with the address 
192.168.1.128.  Using route gives this (edited for space):

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use 
Iface
172.16.7.0      *        255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
192.168.1.0    *        255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
link-local        *         255.255.0.0     U     1000   0        0 eth0
default       fw.loc.lan 0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0
default       fw.loc.lan 0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

(fw.loc.lan is the firewall between my LAN and the Internet.)

I don't see any reference to eht0:0 at all.  I don't know if that 
matters.

After restarting my network, I can't reach anything on the Internet.

Does it matter that route doesn't seem to see a difference between eth0 
and eth0:0?

What do I need to do to be able to do this and not lose access to 
domains on the other side of my gateway?  Why does it change routing so 
my computer doesn't work through the regular gateway I've set?

Thanks!

Hal

Use smartctl:

What does this show?

News websites such as cnn, news.com, nytimes, etc. They have too many graphics
and ads which are not necessary. I guess I'm just looking for a more efficient
may to read the news.

Well, I would tell you that Opera doesn't have a calendar, so it is not a P=

Not if you want it to be a router.  Buy a NIC; cheap ones based on
Realtek cost about $10.  You have oodles of capacity for what you want.

Your firewall will need to be totally up-to-date.  If its a floppy
image, unless its up-to-date, I wouldn't trust it.

adam@gondor:~$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost localhost.localdomain

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

So I should put gondor in there on the same line as the localhost?

And on the dnsmasq box it's the same. I can enter the IP address of the box's 
NIC on the internal network into /etc/hosts because it's fixed, but all the DHCP 
clients?
