Hello Stefan,



We've been having a discussion on debian-user on the differences between
XFS and JFS and where one would be better than the other for different
applications.  In the course of the discussion, Justin Piszcz sent a
copy of an email he received from Dave Kleikamp at IBM who doesn't
recommend JFS for enterprise use because it no longer has a full-time
maintainer.



I wondered how an important package like a filesystem would end up in
debian main stable when upstream doesn't recommend it.  I thought that
this would by itself have created a release-critical bug that would keep
it out of stable.


Do you need more help?X

Would you care to comment or shed light on this issue?



Please reply to the debian-user mailing list if possible.



Thanks,



Doug Tutty.

I have mine since december 2000, and as I pointed out, the CRC errors
are occuring with 2.4.27.


Don't know where to look next?X

Anyways, I upgraded the BIOS, and nothing's changed. I still get CRC
errors. I will try to disable the VIA driver and see what happens.

There is a website www.keepvid.com which will make youtube videos
downloadable as well.  This can then be converted to divx or such using
mencoder.  You just have to watch out for some odd framerates which can
throw off the resulting playback.

I made the following change to /etc/modprobe.d/aliases

alias net-pf-10 off
# alias net-pf-10 ipv6

(added the first line; commented out the second line)

I don't know if that's the "right" way to do it.  It worked for me.

Hi,
  Emacs 22 is quite an editor and I'm sure many of you are already
using it.  It is in Sid but no luck yet for those running Etch, at
least those with an architecture different from i386.

I ended up building my own .debs, this is a straight forward procedure
but it's a bit obscure and it could seem daunting for beginners.  I
decided to write a micro-howto:

  http://ygingras.net/b/2007/8/emacs-22-on-debian-etch

I hope this will help those still waiting for amd64 binaries to hit backports.

This is based on personal experience. Unfortunately I haven't kept
statistics, but I'd say, taking into account the serious bugs that
directly affected the use of my machines and those I could avoid
(e.g. thanks to apt-listbugs), this should be about 4 per year. This
may seem low, but this is much more than what I get with the other
base packages (libc6, perl, xorg...).

Can you describe the breakage?  I've found that packages that rely on
python for a GUI break (GUI freezes), I've always blamed it on the GUI.
Base python itself I've never had break.

 Yes, it is swimming against the tide.  Big deal, && fsck 'em.

 CUPS has made a mess of *nix printing.  All you need to do to enable
 *nix printing is find your printer's driver, install lpr(ng), then
 hack /etc/printcap (which is pretty damned simple):

lp0|To Your Left: \
    :lp=/dev/lp0: \
    :force_localhost: \
    :if=/usr/bin/foomatic-rip: \
    :ppd=/usr/local/ppd/Epson-Stylus_Photo_870-Stp870p.upp.ppd: \
    :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp: \
    :mx#0:sh:

It just works.  CUPS is *way* unnecessary.  The biggest problem with
*nix printing is trying to figure out how to install something without
dragging in CUPS too.  :-P  Even if you have lpr(ng) installed, CUPS
chooses to replace them, and tends to get away with it!  Be vigilant.

You should not be running unstable.  This is what stable, and Debian
itself, were created for.  Sorry, no sympathy from here.

Hello guys,

I tried to burn a CD with k3b, and got an error from wodim, the same as follow:
adriano@heisenberg:~$ wodim -scanbus
/usr/bin/wodim: No such file or directory.
Cannot open SCSI driver!
For possible targets try 'wodim --devices' or 'wodim -scanbus'.
For possible transport specifiers try 'wodim dev=help'.
For IDE/ATAPI devices configuration, see the file README.ATAPI.setup from
the wodim documentation.

then I tried:
adriano@heisenberg:~$ wodim dev=/dev/cdrw -scanbus
scsibus1:
        1,0,0   100) 'MATSHITA' 'DVD-RAM UJ-840S ' '1.11' Removable CD-ROM

yes, there it is. So my question is: how can I fix this, because to do
something with the burner i'll need always to specify the 'dev'
parameter...

Thanks in advance.

i've a computer with debian etch. i've recently added a new sata hard drive
and enter the harddrive in /etc/fstab. It was working fine. Suddenly
today Debian etch is not booting properly. I'm getting
the following errors:

Begin:Mounting root file system ...
Begin:Running /scripts/local-top ...
Done.
Begin:Running /scripts/local-premount ...
Done.
mount:Mounting /dev/sda1 on /root failed:No such Device

Begin:Running /scripts/local-bottom...
Done.
Begin:Running /scripts/init-bottom...
mount:Mounting /root/dev on /dev/.static/dev failed:No such file or
directory
Done.
mount:Mounting /sys on /root/sys failed:No such file or directory

mount:Mounting /proc on /root/proc failed:No such file or directory
Target file system doesn't have /sbin/init

BusyBox v1.1.3(Debian 1:1.1.3-3)Built in Shell(ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built in commands
/bin/sh:can't access tty;job control turned off
(initramfs)

 I've checked the cables it's fine. One more thing i like to mention. When i

disconnect the brand new hard drive no problem on booting. The problem
 is only when i add the new hard drive. Can anyone kindly help me find the
 problem? Thanks.
