I have been looking for information on migrating an LVM'ed ext3 filesystem to Linux 2.6? I've been looking all over the net and from what I've found, LVM doesn't seem to be ready for 2.6 yet, or maybe I'm looking at the wrong place, Could anyone help me redirect to the proper website or give me info as to how it can be done? Linux is user-friendly, it is just picky who its friends are If GNU/Linux doesn't have the solution, you have the wrong problem mailto: varunop(a)yahoo.com website: http://varunop.blogspot.com Unix is very simple, Only it takes a genius to simplify it --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

mount options for reiserfs
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 01 Sep '03

01 Sep '03

Hi, I am trying to do a Debian chroot install using my current system, onto a fresh hard disk. I formatted all the partitions to use reiserfs, purely for experimental purposes. In my existing system, I have a partition that gets mounted as /home/sameerds/data, with the user sameerds.users as the owner of the mount point and everything inside the mounted partition. This is standard stuff in ext3 using the uid and gid options. But I can't find anything equivalent in reiserfs ... Second, here's some interesting behaviour, but I don't know how that is achieved. Just after mounting /mnt/debinst/usr, here's the "ls -l" listing for usr/local drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 Aug 11 11:58 local And just after mounting /mnt/debinst/usr/local drwxrwsr-x 11 root staff 240 Aug 11 13:03 local How did this happen? I need similar settings with root.src as the owner for /mnt/debinst/usr/src, since that's the standard policy for Debian systems. Since that isn't happening automatically, I assume the behaviour for usr/local is not Debian-specific. Any pointers?

Hi Ashwin when you say you cannot receive email, do you mean from your service provider or for your domain if it is from your service provider you should have .fetchmailrc file in your home directory which configuration is as follows poll mail.vsnl.net.in with proto POP3 interval 6 user "xxxxxx" there with password "xxxxxxxxxxxxx" ... interval 6 is 6 * 300 seconds for this account. and if is for your domain then you should have a public ip and your domain registered also the local-host-names and /etc/mail/virtusertable have to reflect your domain for eg ashley.com check your settings in /etc/mail/sendmail.m4 or check out www.sendmail.org for more information Thanks & Regards Ashley Avileli IT Support Emirates Golf Club / Dubai Creek Golf Club Dubai - UAE

RE: [ILUG-BOM] A query about LAMP setup

Hi kamlesh, very good option.. PHP comes with inbuilt support to MySQL. For apche you need to configure it separately for PHP. Just check the licenses of MySQL, I'm not very sure whether you can use it for commercial purposes.. have fun.. bala ----------------------------------- Balajee Chandrasekaran -----Original Message----- From: Kamlesh Parmar [mailto:parmar_kamlesh@hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 1:59 PM To: linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in Subject: [ILUG-BOM] A query about LAMP setup Dear All, I am a computer engineer working as network consultant based in Mumbai. Recently, my school administrators, have asked me to propose a solution for automating the entire "student progress report" creation & maintenance setup. I could have gone with "Win2K-SQL 2K-VB" plateform, But I also want to explore the possibility in Linux based solution as essentially it will be free for school. I am looking at LAMP architecture...

Hi, I am stuck up with the sendmail. I am able to send mail from my LAN desktops using the default configuration of sendmail. But I am not able to configure the sendmail to receive mails either from the outside world or within my LAN desktops. I am running sendmail on RH8.0. I would request you to give me a walk through the configuration of sendmail for sending and receiving mails within LAN. Thanks in advance. Regards, Ashwin -- ASHWIN S.
