| 13:01.01 | niv_one_three | the sun just came out now |
| 13:02.11 | niv_one_three | ok so if I seek to find files that start with gaim and end in .desktop , is /gaim.*desktop/ the right regular expression? |

| 13:31.15 | Leeds | if you want it to end with ".desktop" you need to say that |

| 18:00.41 | niv_one_three | is there anyone here? |
| 18:00.44 | niv_one_three | hmm |
| 18:01.20 | hali | nope, no one |
| 18:02.21 | niv_one_three | good |
| 18:02.54 | niv_one_three | hali: say my pc stops during boot and the lst thing I see is that it wants to enter init 3 - what should I look for? |
| 18:03.15 | niv_one_three | root fs is on a software raid 5 |
| 18:05.07 | hali | what distro? did you try to boot to single user mode? |
| 18:05.44 | niv_one_three | gentoo, well all was fine untill I rebuild the kernel to get a module |
| 18:06.05 | niv_one_three | I guess I did write to /lib64 by doing so |
| 18:06.22 | niv_one_three | I do get a login prompt |
| 18:07.21 | niv_one_three | and it says that it loaded md6 fine - which is the root fs |
| 18:07.59 | niv_one_three | I am not able to login |
| 18:08.16 | niv_one_three | I mean you see the last 286K of memry where freed line |
| 18:08.31 | niv_one_three | but then when it try to goto init 3 - it doent |
| 18:08.46 | niv_one_three | what can this mean? |
| 18:08.56 | hali | what about single user mode? |
| 18:09.06 | niv_one_three | how? using grub? |
| 18:09.14 | hali | yes |
| 18:09.17 | niv_one_three | how? |
| 18:09.19 | hali | throw in a 1 on the append line |
| 18:09.32 | niv_one_three | ok |
| 18:12.05 | niv_one_three | I added 1 at the end of the second line |
| 18:12.17 | niv_one_three | I see entering init 1 |
| 18:12.26 | niv_one_three | but I still can't log on |
| 18:13.18 | niv_one_three | I mean - is it missing the /etc/fstab ? |
| 18:13.30 | niv_one_three | it does exist - I didnt touch it... |
| 18:13.44 | niv_one_three | no error messge.. |

| 18:27.00 | niv_one_three | dick: can you maybe lend a hand? |
| 18:27.51 | niv_one_three | after boot I see the line 286K of memory where free , but the fails to enter init3 or 1 |
| 18:27.55 | dick_turpin | with waht? |
| 18:28.00 | dick_turpin | what |
| 18:28.05 | niv_one_three | the root fs is on a software raid5 |
| 18:28.11 | niv_one_three | no error |
| 18:28.34 | niv_one_three | but I can't log on and the normal udev stuff didnt start |
| 18:29.26 | niv_one_three | assuming the root fs is missing - how come th order of th raid is correct? |
| 18:29.35 | antiphase | Sounds pretty fucked. Boot the old kernel instead ;) |
| 18:29.44 | niv_one_three | didnt help |
| 18:29.47 | niv_one_three | same issue |
| 18:29.49 | dick_turpin | Thats what I thought |
| 18:29.59 | niv_one_three | I am guessing it has to do with what I dod last |
| 18:30.01 | antiphase | Sounds like your initramfs is wanked then |
| 18:30.24 | niv_one_three | which was make modules_install - adding a kernel module |
| 18:30.34 | niv_one_three | ok |
| 18:30.37 | antiphase | tbh unless you need this stuff and you can fix it when it breaks, I'd steer well clear |
| 18:30.44 | niv_one_three | how can I get my hends on that? |
| 18:30.52 | dick_turpin | can a software raid be mounted with a rescue disk like RIP? |
| 18:30.56 | antiphase | Nothing worse than a broken computer on a Sunday night |
| 18:31.20 | niv_one_three | this pc is broke fro half and a half |
| 18:31.30 | niv_one_three | for a month and a half |
| 18:31.42 | niv_one_three | YES I may use the livecd to mount it |
| 18:31.53 | niv_one_three | it looks fine when using the livecd |
| 18:32.01 | dick_turpin | What distro is it? |
| 18:32.07 | niv_one_three | gentoo |
| 18:32.12 | antiphase | Putting root on RAID-5 is fairly retarded |
| 18:32.23 | niv_one_three | comeon |
| 18:32.45 | hali | i hope at least /boot is on a separete single volume or a mirror? |
| 18:32.45 | antiphase | Nope. If you have the root partition plain on a disk, you can always boot and recover your system |
| 18:32.54 | dick_turpin | Pity if it was openSUSE you might have been able to use the automated 'fix' routine |
| 18:33.02 | antiphase | You want /bot and / on nothing more fancy than a mirror |
| 18:33.30 | niv_one_three | oh oh ok - now you are telling me :-) |
| 18:33.36 | niv_one_three | fine - how to fix it? |
| 18:33.45 | hali | reinstall from scratch |
| 18:33.45 | antiphase | Format the disk and install Ubuntu |
| 18:33.47 | hali | using centos |
| 18:33.49 | hali | or ubuntu |
| 18:33.57 | dick_turpin | lol |
| 18:34.03 | hali | compiling stuff doesn't make you cool you know |
| 18:34.06 | niv_one_three | I got the original hard disk - and may jus restore it, but I need to understand this |
| 18:34.23 | niv_one_three | hali - I know |
| 18:34.27 | antiphase | You'll understand it by reading the HOWTOs more carefully next time :) |
| 18:34.30 | hali | well, leason learned, don't put root on raid5 :) |
| 18:34.35 | niv_one_three | learning how linux actully works - does |
| 18:35.05 | niv_one_three | when it worked - it was very fast |
| 18:35.19 | hali | that's odd, since raid5 is quite slow generally |
| 18:35.24 | niv_one_three | oh oh |
| 18:35.26 | niv_one_three | ok |
| 18:35.29 | antiphase | It's only slow for writing |
| 18:35.31 | niv_one_three | no help then |
| 18:35.33 | niv_one_three | fine |
| 18:35.47 | antiphase | unless the array is degraded |
| 18:36.23 | niv_one_three | anti: where do you do use raid5? |
| 18:36.25 | hali | i would boot of a rescue disk of some sort and see if md comes online etc, and have a look around to verify your new kernel, the ramdisk and all that stuff |
| 18:36.57 | niv_one_three | can I see the init file? |
| 18:36.59 | antiphase | RAID-5 is only really any use if you absolutely must have some redundancy and you can't afford more disks |
| 18:37.03 | niv_one_three | can I rebuild it? |
| 18:37.15 | antiphase | RAID1+0 is fater and more resilient |
| 18:37.50 | antiphase | Especially when you consider that you probably shouldn't have that many disks in a RAID-5 group or you risk data loss and poor performance |
| 18:38.06 | antiphase | Say more than 10 or so at a total finger-in-the-air guess |
| 18:38.23 | niv_one_three | can I see the initramfs file? |
| 18:38.50 | niv_one_three | using fur disks |
| 18:38.53 | niv_one_three | four |
