<0> woot! ??
<1> How to mount DVD, if system detect him how SCSI
<2> you know your ISP ****s when you're sitting 2 meters from the T1 and still manage to lose your connection
<3> .
<0> What is a reasonable naming convention for an LVM volume group?
<4> lvmg?
<5> no, you know you're ISP ****s when you work for them & you (along with most of your co-workers) are at work drunk and/or high
<6> p3nguin: I name it its purpose
<6> p3nguin: like a system volume with /var /tmp etc on it I have a media volume with well of course media
<4> wonder if that'd qualify for a new word if they ddosed? dddos maybe?
<4> drunk deliberate denial
<4> k it was lame
<4> nm
<7> jblack, hey whats up? this is steve (the linuxguru kid)
<0> vgremove -- ERROR: can't remove active volume group "my_volume_group"
<0> How do I remove it so I can name it something else?
<8> Hey jblack
<8> You there man?
<0> mranderson: How do I deactivate the group so I can remove it?
<6> well unmount it first
<0> It's not mounted. I only did vgcreate.
<6> and lvm is one of the things I do prefer a gui on
<9> sbarn: Hi there
<6> lvremove
<7> jblack, how ya been?
<6> p3nguin: redhat has sweet lvm gui
<9> not bad. You?
<9> You must be getting close to college age
<7> jblack, o ya one more year..finally ha.
<0> mranderson: What's the name of it? I might have it installed.
<6> system-config-lvm
<0> I'm not able to remove it with lvremove either. I have to deactivate it first. For some reason, none of the man pages tell how to deactivate it.
<9> Unmount the filesystem.
<0> It's not mounted.
<9> and lvremove should do its thing.
<0> The only thing I did was initialize the devices with pvcreate, then I did vgcreate. That was all.
<9> Ok. here's 3 parts.
<0> vgcreate made the VG and activated it.
<7> jblack, u still sticking to ur debian roots for distro choice? i thought i remembered reading u atleast moved to ubuntu :)
<0> I need to deactivate it and remove it.
<9> physical volumes, volume groups, and logical volumes
<0> I got to step 2.
<9> Next, use lvcreate
<0> I made the volume group with an unconventional name and want to change the name before continuing to the logical volumes.
<6> yah volume group
<6> then logical volume in the group
<6> p3nguin: if you type 'help' in lvm> it shows all the commands
<9> vgrename
<9> I learned all this from the howto
<0> Unfortunately I'm using man pages.
<0> vgrename -- volume group "my_volume_group" successfully renamed to "media"
<0> Now, on to the next step.
<9> http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ is the one I used
<0> That's where I am, but in a different page.
<0> I'm proceeding with the setup.
<0> Aha. It looks like "vgchange -a n" would deactivate the VG so it can be deleted.
<0> (but I renamed it instead of deleting)
<0> And that is in the howto.
<0> If the volume group is named media, it is okay to name the logical volume by the same name?
<9> They're different namespaces.
<0> I realize that. I'm asking is it sensible or not to name them the same.
<0> Maybe /dev/media/media1 ?
<0> Or simply m1 instead of media1?
<0> I'm asking for suggestions with the naming convention.
<5> does it make much of a difference? you generally don't have to touch it after it's set up
<9> One word of advice...
<9> Use the hostname for the volume group.
<5> unless you have to move or copy it, I suppose
<9> You get into trouble if you try and recover on another machien later, and had a habit of using "fs0" or "vg0"
<10> i havent had any problems with it
<10> i've moved them done a vgscan and fine
<10> p3nguin: and yes you can
<10> i've had vg system with an lv of system
<9> take my word for it. You don't want to try and activate two different volume groups with the same name. Gets real messy real quick.
<10> the vgs should have diff names
<9> cancel either doesn't know what he's talking about, or he's being argumentative.
<10> I thought he was asking vg and lv
<10> jblack: wrong again as I have a system running like that
<10> and iv'e take it out and put it in another host fine
<10> so as usual been there done it ahve the t-shirt
<9> multiple volumes with the same volume group name?
<10> you're not listening
<10> I sad LV not VG
<9> No, you're not listening.
<9> I said something, you errantly corrected me.
<9> I've had enough of your attitude. Go hang somewhere else.
<11> 00:45 <@jblack> Use the hostname for the volume group.
<9> and stop messaging me. I'm not interested.
<11> was jblack's suggestion.
<0> I like that naming convention.
<0> I'll use media0 and media1 for my logical volume names with a volume group of the hostname.
<9> Yeah. It helps a year later when you try and figure out what removed hard drive you're looking at. :)
<0> It makes sense to me.
<9> You can if you like. I use lv names like "home" and "var"
<0> Wow. I just turned on my new laptop and found there are two wireless networks in-range of my current location. :)
<3> nicaragua
<0> Mine has the best signal, though.
<3> my wifi is so broken
<3> damn you intel!
<0> I hope this Intel card is supported under Linux.
<0> I have to go through and set up all the Windows stuff that Dell left for me to configure, then I can resize the partition and make new ones for a Linux install.
<3> it probably is
<3> what chipset is it
<0> THe only thing I see is Intel PROSet/Wireless.
<0> VG Size 379.75 GB
<3> 3945?
<3> 2915? 2200? 2100?
<0> 2200BG
<3> yeah works
<3> there's a 2200 opensource driver
<3> it gets periodicallymerged with vanilla kernel source too
<3> but i think you're better downloading latest
<3> ipw2200
<3> brb
<11> Yeah ipw2200 is even in the debian mainline.
<0> Let's hope it's in the stock install of Slackware.
<0> I'm happy with the new laptop so far. It has a Centrino Pentium M 2.00GHz processor. My other laptop only has an 850MHz processor.
<11> Well ipw2200-source is in the mainline debian, so perhaps not for slackware.
<11> My wireless card is similar and I had no problem compiling the drivers with kernel-headers.
<11> You'll need a 2.6.4+ kernel, apparently.
<0> That I probably won't have. I'm stuck on 2.4. I was on 2.2 for a long time.
<0> I finally moved up to 2.4
<11> Ah http://dellaric.home.cern.ch/dellaric/ipw2200/ <- then.
<0> Off to supper.
<12> how do you open a .tgz file
<11> Typically one uses tar with options including x, z and usually f.
<12> thanks
<12> hmm solaris uname -r gives me 5.4 thats the version of solaris or kernel ?
<11> I couldn't possibly say. This is #linux.
<12> ah true
<5> uname -a is more verbose (however, as whythehell said, this is #linux)
<12> :)
<11> I ***ume uname is in POSIX?
<13> how long does QT take to compile? (1.7 GHz machine, 512 MB RAM)
<3> not long
<13> lies.
<13> It just took about 45 minutes...
<13> And its merging.
<3> it used to take forever on an amd k6/2 300 with 32mb ram
<13> ACK
<3> but on a 1.7ghz, 512mb ram, it'll be less than forever
<13> ITS ONLY ON... 14 of 17!?
<13> *47
<13> 14 of 47*
<13> how long does KDE take after this?
<13> (Gentoo)
<3> what compile options are you using anyway
<13> lots. :D
<13> defaults
<3> what level of optimisatoin?
<13> I think 2.
