After 'mdadm --create /dev/md0 ..etc..'
I'm now able to (re)mount via 'mount /dev/md0 /mnt/raid'

I want to connect, I am more comfortable with the text file doing the setup, it's just that with several wireless spots it began being a pain, and I don't have the time to play around with scripts

anyway, I installed network-manager-gnome and found a fix for the error starting up nm-applet but now I can't connect to the wap2 network at home. It seems that wpa-assistant starts up and there is an attempt to modprobe wifi0 and then the connection fails. It seems from wpa-gui that the connection is made but then dropped for some reason

CR - TX for your reply, your script & data was very useful.

I've made some progress... I still don't know why I can't authenticate using my admin account / password (and NOTHING I do seems to resolve this). BUT - with my improved understanding of the structure of the ldapsearch command (TX SK);
and a re-newed attempt to access the ldap server anonymously (CR ;_); it appears that I can now connect to my exchange server.

now, my problem is I still can't run any queries, I only get: # search result
search: 2
result: 2 Protocol error

After much googling on ldap protocol error 2, I'm again stuck. I found hits that referenced a "-C" option to ldapsearch; which doesn't seem to apply anymore, since I find no doc's on -C in the manpage. I found another hit that might indicate that ldap V3 and exchange 5.5 might produce a protocol error, but I've started using -P2 anyway, with no different response.

although this error is returned from the exchange server, the problem has GOT to be with ldapsearch / debian. I CAN do sucessful queries from windows environment.

Can we help you?X

anyone got more ideas?

It seems that you did not use the --initrd option of make-kpkg, which will= =20
cause an initrd to be created when the kernel package is installed (and gru= b=20
will add the initrd line).

For this custom kernel you've already built and installed, you should be ab= le=20
to run "update-initramfs -ck 2.6.18" (You may need the "_custom.1.0" here t= oo)=20
and then "update-grub" to fix the problem.

Are you sure about that? I've seen some really heavily fragmented NTFS filesystems. Or are you saying that fragmentation doesn't affect NTFS's performance?

Microsoft didn't provide a defragmenter for NTFS until Windows 2000 -- on NT4 and earlier they suggested you buy a third-party utility.

all file systems can use a defragmentor

lets assume a disk format of:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ...... 63 ( aka sectors )

if you try to read/write a file starting sector 1 into your disk buffer, you may or may not have disk buffer space left to read another 512Byte from sector 2...

if you wait a bit, few milliseconds for the system to services its disk interrupts, you now have disk buffer space to read sector 2 ..

Can we help you?X

but since you waited too long, sector 2 came and went, so now you have to wait for a whole revolution before you can read sector 2

if you format using, than you may or may not have time to read sector 2

1 11 21 31 41 51 61 2 12 22 32 42 52 62 3 13 23 33 43 53 63 4 14...  

the defragmentor can be used to move sectors around to optimize reading the whole file w/o waiting for the next revolution

  • how the defragmentor displays used and unused sectors can make a big difference in the pretty pic you see vs the actual performance

what you see the defragmentor showing would be a continuously allocated file instead of scattered across various sectors within a track or having to move the heads to a different tract to get to the next 512byte

there's only 512bytes per sector
63 sectors per track
and any number of cylinders depending on your disk size

the number of heads and disk buffer size would depend on your disk drive manufacturer and model#

one traack is 512MB * 62 == 31.744KBytes with 16 physical heads .... you can read 509.904KBytes per revolution

Can't find what you're looking for?X

all un-used disk sectors belonging to a different file is read and discarded ... what a waste

with 8MB or 16MB disk buffer .. you can read lots of tracks before the disk buffer is full ... there should NOT be a "slow" system

lba ...
maps all the cylinder/heads/sector into other whacky numbers ( lba blocks )

Why are you so attached to your PII? I'm in Canada too, and I bought (vfxweb.com) an old PIII-733, added 0.5 Gb RAM and a used CD-RW ($25.00), all of which adds up to a screamer (running the apps I use) for under $200.

I am not so sure that you need to go that far to get the same functionality. I'm also not sure how you got 'nvi' installed in Etch. I'm on a lenny system, and I have 'vim basic' installed (which does seem to lack the mouse pointer facilities, but I don't normally try and use vi(m) with a mouse). And, /etc/alternatives/vi on this Lenny install is a symlink to /usr/bin/vim.basic. Now, it seems to me (although untested) that if you were to install vim.full, you would then have the setups needed for your /etc/alternatives to point to the desired flavor of vi you want. One would also think that if it didn't do that (expected) behavior, then it might be a packaging bug.

That's right! I've just finished configuring three old P1 desktop boxes as: firewall; email server; and fax box. My main box (still in development) is going to be a screamer. The box I've just retired, only because the Mainboard blew up, a 1GHz Athlon based, P3, with 1 Gb of ram, was quite satisfactory for many years. Regards, David.

If you look through the xfce listings in the aptitude interface, I seem to remember a sticky notes app. For the rest, Sunbird does all that. Regards, David.
