<1> mannn
<1> im studying for my CCNP.. the CCNA was SOOOOOOOOOOO easyy the CCNP is soooooooo not easy
<1> heh
<1> i hate to see what CCIE is like
<1> and i mean that literally.

<5> Any qmail people around?
<5> I'm having a weird problem. Mail is not coming in or going out. (When someone sends me a msg they get Technical details of permanent failure:
<5> PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 12): 554 mail server permanently rejected message (#5.3.0) ) But if I goto a console and restart the qmail service, incoming and outgoing mail gets processed, then it stops working again. Have to restart the service to process the queues basically. Anybody know what's up?
<3> imnes: You've now way of knowing until you look at why it's actually rejecting those messages
<3> s/now/no/
<5> Where would I look? Where does qmail log those errors?
<1> erm\
<1> nity
<4> imnes: I'd suspect it logs to wherever your config file specified it to go to.
<4> If it was told to log that much info, anyway. Some logs can be rather sparse.
<4> And now to play with LVS, and see how well I can get the root FS to do an lvextend for me. :) This should be exciting, I'm sure!
<5> I'll have to check, I've never touched qmail before just trying to solve this issue for a friend of mine. He's got qmail installed on a redhat 4 server.
<4> RHEL 4, I hope you mean?
<6> HEllo everybody...Does anybody know ,how can i open a .pcap file?Only with Cprogram which i have to write?
<0> Psycho-MaN several programs can open pcap files, including tcpdump and ethereal
<6> i know ..ethereal writes in .pcap format but how can i interprete it?
<0> with the gui
<6> only piping the stdout if i use it?
<4> Kevin: You're brave, I didn't even want to try ***uming he meant a libpcap-type capture. :P
<6> lol
<7> i hosed my mbr, does grub keep backups/
<1> psychoman what are you trying to do/.l,']
<8> aridese, no.
<7> Chodapp: ok, im trying to reinstall grub but since i hosed my partition table too, it can't find where the stage 1 is
<7> what should i do?
<0> aridese did you look at gpart?
<7> Kevin`, how long is it supposed to run for?
<0> i'd guess a rather long time
<7> because i think it's been an hour or so :-/
<0> how long does it take to read your disk?
<7> what do you mean?
<4> Aridese: I think it reads the whole disk to find signatures, as I recall, so it'll probably take long enough to read the whole disk.
<0> there's a lot of data on a hard disk
<7> i see, that might take a while (200gb disk)
<7> i'm currently booted into a session that still has the partition data, i.e, i can still access my NTFS partition and such. would the partition table be lying around somewhere?
<0> yes
<4> ***umin 30Mb/sec even, call that 2 hours?
<7> probably
<0> aridese /proc/partitions, but the kernel knows ALL the data you want, just a matter of getting it to spit it out
<0> which i'm not sure how
<0> but don't let that session die
<4> If you can coax the OS you're in to give up the partition data from memory, maybe you can use that.
<4> Try /proc/diskstats, I think that has actual c//s offset data in it for partitions.
<4> Hmm, or not...
<7> diamon, proc/partitions has the blocks and major and minors
<0> 3 0 hda 10383 866 373102 61928 8643 15241 191168 24584 0 45452 86524
<0> 3 1 hda1 1 8 2 16
<0> 3 2 hda2 11017 372476 23892 191136
<0> 3 3 hda3 248 610 5 16
<0> wats all that mean
<4> Yeah, but the #blocks just tells you how long it is, not where on the disk it began.
<7> ah i see
<3> Those are your lucky numbers for today
<0> ooh yay

<1> Psycho-MaN what were you asking earlier about pcaps.
<9> Greetings...
<1> Psycho-MaN you can load em up in etherreal to read em or youc an use tcpdump to make it more readable try filtering packets.. like tcpdump -vvv -s0 tcp
<9> I have a question to ask...
<1> Psycho-MaN or tcpdump -ni eth0 sip
<1> Psycho-MaN etc..
<1> Kevin` you want to knwo what that filesystem fino is?
<1> Kevin` theres a really good book i can recommened
<1> Kevin` its called "linux internals" it explains all of that funky ****
<1> Kevin` :>
<7> argh, fdisk spits out the partitions that are invalid
<1> aridese what are you trying to do my friend
<7> meriad_, i hosed my MBR and im trying to regenerate it -- i can still access my disks, i havent rebooted yet
<1> heh
<1> if yer mbr is erased its gone my friend
<1> you cant recover the mbr
<1> because its in the first few secotrs of your harddrive
<1> you can try using an msdos tool called fisk
<4> aridese: Don't reboot yet, and don't log out. :)
<1> fdisk
<1> and run fdisk /mbr
<7> im still booted up into the session, i just need to find the cylinder offsets and i can recreate the MBR
<1> aridese :> i wis hyou the best of luck, what exactly are you trying to accomplish? reinstalling your boot record into the mbr?
<4> And yeah, "Linux Internals" is very nice if you need that kind of info on the kernel.
<0> meriad_ the partition table
<1> diamon i do develpopement for linux and drivers what not its helpful, and even if you dont develpope it really gives you an udnerstanding of what makes everythign tick
<7> erm my bad, my partition table. my MBR can be easily replaced with grub, but if the partition table goes ill have to run disk crunching for hours
<0> partition table is part of the mbr, of course
<4> aridese: Ok, I have to ask, how'd you kill it?
<7> diamon: i was installing linux to my ipod, and accidentally put the ipod partition table on my desktop with DD
<7> so my partition table is now: - Id
<7> /dev/sda1 * 1 5 40131 0
<7> /dev/sda2 * 6 1215 9719325 b W95 FAT32
<10> i know with find command, i can find files with a specific type, but can i find files that are not a specific type with a flag to find? the reason is, i want to find everything but directories
<1> h3k man find
<1> h3k refer to the manual page for find, that will do exactly that
<10> meriad_, ya ya, rtfm, that is always a nice gesture ;)
<1> h3k im watching a movie otherwise i'd give you the syntax.
<1> h3k sorry
<10> i looked through man page a little, but didn't find what i am lookin for yet ;)
<4> Ow, ow ow ow. No fun there.
<4> That's why I always check and double-check any DD stuff, so I don't overwrite the good with the bad.
<1> aridese so yer trying to restore your filesystem structure..
<1> aridese heh good luck mang :>
<0> the filesystems are intact
<10> dont see it in man find, i searched for "type" and "not"
<10> my next go, is directory, or leaf
<7> yeah it's all there, the system where it is, i just need to find it
<1> exactly ;>
<4> aridese: Just remember, linux fdisk doesn't eat the partitions, but dos/windows fdisk can clear stuff out against your wishes...
<10> -false ? why would it be there
<7> diamon: yeah, windows fdisk/fixmbr is a last resort for me
<1> aridese honestly though its probably your best bet
<1> aridese linux fdisk doesnt offer much in the way of restoration.
<1> aridese either that or mount the drive from another linux box
<1> aridese and fix it from there
<0> fdisk /mbr WILL NOT HELP HIM AT ALL
<4> Try running that scan. It'll take a good bit of time, but if it gets the data back without heroics, why not?
<10> hah find ./ ! -type d
<10> my best guess, and it is right
<0> aridese DON'T turn off your computer
<0> i'm looking at how to get the information
<7> diamon, well that's no fun. plus, im about to go sleep so if i can find the offsets in 30 minutes or so, itll save me 2 hours of crunching
<7> kevin: ok.
<7> meriad: fixmbr won't work, since i have several partitions (some of them linux)
<0> the windows/dos tools just reinstall the program portion fo the mbr anyway
<1> Kevin` who told you that
<1> Kevin` heh
<1> Kevin` you sould watch final detination 2
<2> Q: Why is it that Mexico isn't sending anyone to the '84 summer games?
<2> A: Anyone in Mexico who can run, swim or jump is already in LA.
<7> meriad: fixmbr has no way of knowing where on the disk which partition is, so it cant fix the MBR
