<0> so what about vol5, shall I delete it?
<1> yah
<2> Hi, are there any ext2/inode gurus out there? I had a linux box that crashed pretty hard running RH7.2. This box has a 820GB array that got corrupted. I basically have 434,000 unknown files (named #NNNNNN) in lost+found. Can anyone help? Don't know an easy way to tackle this.
<3> stonith: eek. sounds nasty. not a guru i'm afraid. unsure what you could do in this situation other than dump the files somewhere, with some analysis with file, etc.
<2> honey: Yah it is pretty nasty. Basically these files are intact. I found a TIFF file and renamed the extension and was able to open it. Unfortunately, its just that 434,000+ files are in lost+found and I don't think there is an easy way for me to reallocate them to their right destination. Just wanted to pick someone's brain to see if its worth the trouble
<3> yes, the files will still be valid. but they're in lost+found because the inode information is gone, so it's hard to know what you can do with them, other than leave them for others to rake through
<3> as far as i know, the location info is gone. i stand to be corrected by an expert, but that's my understanding
<3> i might also add... 7.2?? :)
<2> honey: I agree, location information is hosed. Yeah RH 7.2! One of my favorite versions of linux. Well we have 70 servers, and I guess we didn't give it enough TCL and it decided to take a dump... hah. Found the problem to be the SCSI cable, but thats too late.



<3> right, but 7.2 has been unsupportable for aeons...
<2> I'm actually surprised that ext2 was still able to keep these files "intact."
<3> well, i guess the bits were on disk but the inode info still in memory cache... or something
<2> I guess I was hoping to find an answer like "Yeah just run /usr/sbin/connect_inode_to_unknown_file" and MAGICALLY fix this problem, LOL. Worth a shot :P
<3> sorry :) feel free to canv*** for more opinion, i'm no guru. but upgrade that 7.2 box! it's soooo insecure!
<2> Well 3rd party software (universe) and such relied on this OS. Ugh I don't even want to get into that....
<3> ah sorry. probably not helpful now. but it really *is* unsecurable :) not even legacy support it. shh, honey :)
<2> Thanks for responding honey. Take care guys.
<4> do you guys know if redhat/fedora has any kind of ram limits?
<4> i would like to stuff as much ram into the box as physically possible.. But I know with windows they cap your ram.. :(
<5> hi. i'm running rhel4. i am trying to modify limits.conf so that any user can have 2000 open files (instead of the default of 1024). yet, it won't work. i can't understand it. when i make the change in limits.conf (* soft nofiles 2000) i get: -bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted when i run 'ulimit -n 1200' or anything. i do '* hard nofiles 2000' as well. any ideas? this should affect all users.
<6> dap: dont know what you are on about
<6> worked for me
<6> /etc/security/limits.conf
<6> * - nofile 2048
<6> owell = P
<7> hard__ware, He may well be logging in remotely. I think privseperation can cause limits.conf to not be applied when logging in via ssh
<6> mutk: not so
<6> my test was from SSH non-priv user =)
<6> with priv-seperation enabled ... it all depends on his limits config really
<6> and "may" of needed to restart SSHd

<6> hrmmm ...
<6> well that is not the case here on my Boxen

<12> what's the properway to change init level to 3?
<12> i did write 3 in inittab
<12> and did telinit 3
<12> and startx
<12> (EE) R128(0): No DFP detected
<12> so Xorg doesn't start
<12> and there's no xorgconfig
<9> "
<12> (EE) R128(0): No DFP detected
<12> init level 6 works fine. but initlevel 3 and start x gives me that error
<13> that is the proper way to change to init level 3. init 6 is reboot, I think you meant 5.
<9> init 5

<12> but i want init 3
<12> and startx to work
