<Harvyb> If I want to add a 6th drive to a 5-drive raid-5, How difficult is it to get linux to pick up the new space? This is a hardware raid and my controller supports "Online Capacity Expansion"
<Idle`> Harvyb: should detect is pretty quick
<war--> Harvyb: nope
<war--> Harvyb: I amgoing to do that in 15 min myself
<Idle`> you may need to reboot the machine I would think
<war--> --> Chr1z (~Chr1z@64.238.103.246) has joined #linux
<war--> <Chr1z> If I want to add a 6th drive to a 5-drive raid-5, How difficult is it to get linux to pick up the new space? This is a hardware raid and my controller supports "Online Capacity Expansion"
<war--> why the different ips?
<Harvyb> same cafe
<war--> ah well
<Harvyb> same question
<war--> 2.6.17 you can re-size the array
<Idle`> war--: linux cant expand arrays?
<war--> which I am going to do
<Idle`> that sounds retarded
<war--> yes it can
<war--> nope
<war--> raid5 reshape support
<war--> I tested it earlier, works well
<Idle`> war--: hardware... not software
<war--> oh
<war--> in HW raid, unsure
<Harvyb> I just didn't know if it'd just show extra space available once added or if I needed to do something to make it see the extra space the added drive provides
<war--> depends on the card, etc
<Idle`> Harvyb: hardware should work fine
<Idle`> Harvyb: you will need to resize your filesystem tho
<Demi-god_> does that work with software raid too?
<Qwell[]> Idle`: /whois
<Idle`> fun
<Harvyb> reason I ask, I have 5 drives now... 6th is on its way but wont be here until next week... I'm wondering if I should just wait to set it up when it gets here or if I can just add it w/o a problem later
<war--> Demi-god_: with SW raid should work fine
<Demi-god_> how would I do that?
<war--> man mdadm
<war--> search for grow
<Demi-god_> mmkay, thx
<war--> I am adding a disk right now into my raid5 and going to grow it shortly ;)
<Harvyb> ?
<war--> brb
<user1> does anyone know of a good site with tutorials for installing new packages for slackware 10.2
<user1> if you dont mind sharing the information
<Idle`> harvyb_: dont use a software array
<Demi-god_> I haven't used slackware for 12 years
<Idle`> do NOT use a software array
<Idle`> you have hardware, use it
<Demi-god_> why'd you pick slackware anyway
<Idle`> but yes, it should be just fine
<user1> i am enjoying the tools that backtrack provides
<IdiotStic> user1: look at linuxpackages.net
<user1> thanx
<Idle`> I never thought I would see the day when I said this, but I need a legal xp home cd....
<user1> i just need a few add ons for firefox, a program for recording streamed mp3, and also to get wine configured proper
<user1> and also slackware is the hardest for me to learn... i enjoy the challenge.. but get stuck from time to time
<user1> i am fair at using the google, but it is wasting my life sifting through the relults and message boards
<war--> Demi-god_: I am re-shaping now
<Demi-god_> k
<war--> 1030min remaining
<war--> :P
<Scorbutus> user1: installing packages is a simple as "installpkg <package name>"
<Idle`> user1: for stream ripping, mplayer
<Idle`> itll rip to wav very easily, then just lame -h it, viola
<Idle`> if its an mp3 direct stream, it can record the stream directly into an mp3 as a direct dump
<user1> i can install from anywhere or do i have to place the package in a specific directory
<Scorbutus> if you mean building a package from source or 3rd party pkg mgmt, thats a whole different ballgame
<Idle`> mmmm, source
<Scorbutus> you can install from anywhere.
<Scorbutus> gah. i forgot source makes Idle` go all gooey in the pants. now i feel dirty
<Scorbutus> like ive contributed to something vile
<user1> this is very usefull, i appreciate it
<wescotte> any lircd users here? I'm having some problems with irrecord. It always say unknown code or just times out. However I used my default config for another remote and it works correctly I just can't create a config for any remotes.
<user1> and also linuxpackages.net will help as well
<user1> one last for the day... is there any terminal emulation programs similar to hyperminal, i have been using xterm and konsole
<user1> but i am configuring routers and switches... and would prefer something a bit easier to configure
<Scorbutus> user1: thousands. literally
<user1> i have been having some probs with terminal connections to nortel switches( their gui interface)
<Scorbutus> default slack comes with 6 or 7 installed already
<user1> command line and cisco stuff is fine though
<IdiotStic> I use ctrl+alt+f1 - f6 for anything serious heh
<user1> i have backtrack, so i do not have everthing that slack has defaulted... but other interesting programs though
<Scorbutus> ah i see
<Scorbutus> you might check out x3270
<Scorbutus> i think thats what im thinkin of
<Scorbutus> yeah, x3270
<Scorbutus> you have backtrack installed to the hard drive or running as a live cd?
<user1> on the hd... it is now stable enough ...
<Scorbutus> which install method did you use?
<user1> i had probs with creating user accounts and changing the root p***word before
<user1> but that is solved now
<Scorbutus> i tried to install to the hard drive on a vm last week and all the symlinks were broken
<user1> i formatted the drive with cfdisk and used the installer built in while using kde
<user1> give me a sec and i will find the link with the instructions..
<Scorbutus> theres 2 different install methods. one that expands everything and tries to be a normal install and one that doesnt
<user1> http://www.remote-exploit.org/index.php/Backtrack_FAQ_Install2HD
<user1> this is what i have done... a ton... i keep dorking it up.. and having to reinstall..
<user1> i am trying to find a way to ghost or snapshot my drive so it isn't such a task..
<user1> because it is inevitable that i should f it up.. untill i get comfortable with slackware anyhow
<Scorbutus> normal slackware would be easier
<Scorbutus> to learn to use i mean
<user1> i have a copy of 10.2, when i get good enough at adding packages and managing it i will
<user1> rite now backtrack sits on my laptop with minimal configuration
<user1> and accomodates all of my nics
<user1> btw if that link doesnt work for installing backtrack i googled- backtrack faq install2hd
<awol> learn to use your package management tools... man pkgtool
<user1> thanx
<user1> so i just need to know the source and target directories to use this proper
<Scorbutus> heh. it worked, i mustve missed a step last time
<user1> and any dependencies that a given package has
<Scorbutus> thanks for the link user1
<user1> nice
<user1> no prob scorbutus
<user1> later- i appreciate the help- sharing knowledge is how we will take over the planet
<Scorbutus> that was a little creepy
<Scorbutus> whos "we"?
<_reppir> don't try to play it off Scorbutus...
<harvyb_> please Help?
<harvyb_> $ sudo modprobe ipw2200
<harvyb_> FATAL: Error inserting ipw2200 (/lib/modules/2.6.17.4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2200.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
<harvyb_> http://pastebin.ca/84449
<harvyb_> i lost my wifi card
<harvyb_> please awol help me
<Qwell[]> better find it
<harvyb_> awol: can you check my pastebin?
<CarlFK> how do I set the hardware clock ?
<CarlFK> I 'think' date -s, but man date doesn't really say
<CarlFK> hwclock
<Trey> CarlFK: set the unix time properly using any of ntpdate, rdate, or date. Then set the bios clock to the unix time using hwclock --systohc
<CarlFK> got it - thanks
<Trey> CarlFK: if possible use ntpd so your time is always right
<CarlFK> will this change all the w2kpro to w2kMySql: rename s/w2kpro/w2kMySql/ w2kpro.*
<CarlFK> or smoke my HD...
<ian_> hi
<CarlFK> hello
<ian_> I got a new motherboard but the io panel in the case doesnt match.. and it comes with one
<ian_> i cant figure out how to take the stock io cover thingy frmo my case
<ian_> do i just knock it out?
<CarlFK> what is an io cover ?
<ian_> it's kind of attached
<ian_> the metal part that goes over the external ports of the motherboard
<ian_> in the case
<gokzillaa> break it off
<gokzillaa> the case hole is blocked?
<ian_> no it has some default configuration or something
<ian_> but my mobo has much more holes
<ian_> i guess i just knock it out
<ian_> it wont pull out
<gokzillaa> get a wrench
<gokzillaa> haha
