[OT] Root partition mouting read-only frequently
by Rohit V Bhute 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

My partitioning is as follows: /dev/hda1 / /dev/hda5 /home /dev/hda6 swap /dev/hda7 /data All are ext3. The / partition is mounting read-only very frequently, in spite of clean shutdowns. As a result, the only apps I can use are Firefox and Thunderbird. Anything else (even those two if have to download something) requiring access to / (specially /tmp) doesn't work. For e.g., running "man" on any command gives "man: can't create a temporary filename: Read-only file system". I looked through the output of dmesg and found the following piece interesting. <cut> [17180032.820000] hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } [17180032.820000] hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=23677870, sector=23677863 [17180032.820000] ide: failed opcode was: unknown [17180032.820000] end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 23677863 [17180032.820000] Buffer I/O error on device hda1, logical block 2959725 [17180032.824000] EXT3-fs error (device hda1): ext3_readdir: directory #1470023 contains a hole at offset 0 [17180032.824000] Remounting filesystem read-only <cut> The full dmesg output is here <http://rvbhute.org/full_dmesg_error.txt> Is my disk failing or is it case of partitioning/formatting gone wrong?

Hi, I was just wondering; do NGOs in India look at FOSS as an alternative for cost-cutting at all? Has anyone on-list succeeded in introducing FOSS in any NGO-aided school or vocational training centre? Regards, -- Siddhesh Poyarekar http://siddhesh.tk

Seek advice to quit Windows
by Varadarajan V 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

Hi, Let me first introduce myself. I have been a silent observer of this list for the past 1-2 years. Though I havent contributed anything to this list, I very much like the concept of Linux and Free Software. Unfortunately, for me I learnt about this long after I went for the microsoft certification which helped me to get a job. I work as a windows system admin (3 years) for living. After observing and readin a lot in this community and a little bit of personal experience with linux I wish to move into linux administration and personally I hate microsoft's way of working. To work in windows I need to keep myself trained in windows and for that i have to use windows. That goes into a vicious circle. I find myself locked I am sure I would be considered as a newbie (I am one) in the linux world and I see jobs are mostly for the experienced in the linux administration. What should I do to make the switch? I need your suggestions. I wish to quit windows..now -- True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing. And in knowing that you know nothing, that makes you the smartest of all. -Socrates Regards, Raj

Opensource for a Small Manufacturing unit
by Sachin G Nambiar 17 Jan '07

17 Jan '07

Hi, Am going to work in a small manufacturing unit with a T.O. of around 9cr. Currently they do have a few desktops(un-networked) with pirated copies(based on discussions i doubt they know the difference and i want to change that) of Windows XP installed. By their roadmap and current projects in hand they see a very easy jump into a sub 20cr and perhaps more, category. I propose to install opensource software in this company, mostly to avoid licensing issues as soon as they are spotted on MS's radar as they grow larger. It's business not ideology. Requirements: Tally software Autocad/Studioworks or any other as good opensource/linux variant. Spreadsheet Email etc These are the basic requirements and currently they dont even have a website mostly because their business is not web centric or even remotely close to it. I know there are other engineering based software variants to autocad out there, but are they as good? and what about Tally. As far as i know they can definitely afford a licensed version of engineering/accounting software. But they really need to avoid software costs in the future. People i assume are not very software oriented apart from basic usage. Please note that software has to be scalable as the business is going to grow! So i would also need some miniature BI tool(even if it's just a spread sheet in it's simplest form) if possible in the future. What are the possible chinks in going ahead with this model of using opensource? Regards, Sachin -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

Recommend a Linux distro
by Dinesh Joshi 17 Jan '07

17 Jan '07

Hi list, A friend of mine is a network admin. Recently, I had a talk with him and convinced him to use GNU/Linux to control the internet access to all the client PCs in his organization. His requirements are pretty simple and can be satisfied by using Squid. But the problem is that his knowledge of GNU/Linux is nill, zero! Now I would really like to know if there is some distro that can meet his requirements ( Proxy, NAT, DNS Cache, Firewall easy to setup and web based administration of the server ). You know something that would need him to only pop in the CD on a fresh machine - install automatically without creating too much fuss about partitioning scheme, the packages that he wants etc.. etc.. and would give him a simple web based interface ( something like we have on cheap routers or similar to webmin ). All suggestions are welcome. -- Regards, Dinesh A. Joshi
