stanman246hi in here, i've got me a broken raid5 (4 disks, one broken). Made a backup of the disks and removed the faulty disk. mdadm --detail --scan shows me I've got an array on /dev/md0. I can't mount it though, getting a : structure needs cleaning as a result of the mount attempt. What could I do?09:51
Pirate_Hunterhi i've got backed up files on a server which are backed up as .tgz is there a way for me to explore inside the .tgz file and extract the folder I want?, if there is can someone provide the commands, thanks09:56

ivokshi10:29
ivoksalvin: what's the problem?10:29
ivoksoh, i see10:29
alvinivoks: Hi. Well, i'm not finding where to change stuff10:29
ivokswell, dovecot's config changed a lot10:29
alvinMost of the settings are changed10:29
ivokssome of the attributes that existed before do not exists any more10:30
alvinOh? Is there any documentation?10:30
ivokson upgrade, if you didn't change anything in dovecot-postfix config10:30
ivokspostinstall will just install new version of config10:30
alvinI'm now comparing the old config file to the files in conf.d and auth.d10:30
ivoksdo you know what you have changed in karmic's dovecot-postfix.conf?10:31
ivoksjust a second...10:31

ivokswhen you start dovecot, it will complain what's wrong10:37
alvinYes, it does. Problem is. I used a user 'mail' with uid 8 and dovecot no longer accepts first_valid_uid10:39
alvinError: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/auth.d/01-dovecot-postfix.auth line 2: Unknown setting: first_valid_uid10:39
ivoksalvin: if you want custom changes, my advice would be to create additional config file in conf.d10:39
alvinSo, I shouldn't change 01-dovecot-postfix.conf10:39
ivoksthat's the only file in conf.d?10:40
alvinI just wantd to keep my configuration from karmic, but that is destroyed10:40
alvinyes10:40
alvinwell, there's also 01-dovecot-postfix.conf.dpkg-old (because of the upgrade)10:40
ivoksit's not; it's in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix.old or something like that10:40
ivoksisn't it?10:41
alvinThere is no file /etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix*10:41
alvinI do have a backup of that file, but the originl was deleted on upgrade10:42
ivoksit was merged in 01-dovecot-postfix.conf10:42
ivoksthat's basicaly, your config10:42
alvinand changed I see10:42
ivokschanged?10:42
alvinmaybe the first_valid_uid should go into that file. I have put it in auth10:43
alvinYes, almost all settings I had were changed10:43
ivoksit isn't it just split it into two files10:43
alvinlocation of maildir, authentication, protocols,... everything10:43
ivoksok, let's start over10:43
ivoksin karmic, you installed dovecot-postfix, right?10:43
alvinyes10:43
ivoksthen you changed /etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix.conf?10:44
alvinyes10:44
ivoksthen you upgraded to lucid10:44
alvinalso yes10:44
ivoksas an author of dovecot-postfix10:44
ivokspostinstal script should've split your custom dovecot-postfix.conf into two files10:44
ivoksone is conf.d/01-dovecot-postfix.conf10:44
ivoksand the other is auth.d/01-dovecot-postfix.auth10:45
alvinIs there a way to run that postinstall script on a custom file? (my original dovecot-postfix.conf)10:45
ivoksthen it offered you a diff/merge options for both of those files10:45
alvinI do have those files, but the contents are not the same as the original dovecot-postfix.conf10:45
ivokscorrect?10:45
alvinit didn't. It offered me to diff/merge dovecot.conf10:45
alvinbecause that file wasn't used, I let the upgrade overwrite the file10:46
ivoksso there's nothing except 01-dovecot-postfix.conf in conf.d?10:46
ivoksnot even .old?10:46
alvinthat's the only question I got during upgrade10:46
alvinOnly 01-dovecot-postfix.conf and 01-dovecot-postfix.conf.dpkg-old10:46
ivoksso, there is dpkg-old10:47
ivoksthat's your old config10:47
alvinyes10:47
alvinis it safe to use?10:47
ivoksthat file gets created when you overwrite your old conffile with a new one10:47
ivoksdon't use it, adopt it10:47
alvinVery well. I'll do that. I'll let you know how it ends10:48
ivoksrename it to 02-something.conf10:48
ivoksand keep in it only stuff that's different from 01-dovecot-postfix.conf10:48
alvinAh, so 02 overwrites the settings in 01?10:49
alvinSo I shouldn't change 01?10:49
ivokscorrect10:50

RickyWhi was looking for the vhosts file but it's called 000-default11:55
RickyWhwhy is it that whenever i go to edit a file with vim, when I save I get an error message. Can't open file for writing11:59
ivoksyou are not root12:00
dominicdinadaquick question guys, with mysql if I am specifing the host a user is allowed from can I use multiple hosts? ie ? 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2  ..... etc12:00

RickyWhya i can sudo, but it seems like alot of typing to add sudo before vim12:09
dominicdinadaRickyWh: So I guess security is not a primary concern for you then... there are howto's to circumvent the constant request for escalating privalages... just google it12:11

stephankHello! Having some trouble installing 10.04 on a Dell PowerEdge SC1425. I created a RAID-1 in the BIOS disk utility, but the installer doesn't seem to detect it. The error I see is: “ERROR: ddf1: wrong # of devices in RAID set "ddf1_4035305a8680df242020202020202020b1c464013a354a45" [1/2] on /dev/sda”12:53

Jeeves_I see an interesting session about server boot and upstart. But I'm on the road than. :(13:25
stephankpmatulis: I don't think it's a hardware RAID controller. It's software RAID on top of a CERC SATA 2S controller. (hence dmraid)13:26
_rubenstephank: i'd go with plain mdadm software raid then .. dmraid is evil :)13:27
_rubeni'd only ever touch dmraid if it was for dual boot machine with windows13:27
stephankhmm, reading up on that now13:28
_rubenstephank: set the controller to sata instead of raid in the bios, configure software raid in the ubuntu installer13:29
Italian_Plumberis there a way to tell the sytem not to do a filesystem check on a drive at startup?  Do I just not mount the drive?13:31
stephank_ruben: well, let's give it a shot. Thanks for the pointers. :)13:32
_rubenItalian_Plumber: its controlled by /etc/fstab, one of the last 2 columns13:41
Italian_Plumber... so, if I don't mount the drive, it won't check it?13:43
_rubensure, but you can mount without checking as well13:44
Italian_Plumbergotcha.  Thanks!13:45
stephankI'm confused, software RAID works at the partition level rather than the disk level?13:46

billybigriggeris an nfs share supposed to be laggy on a 100mbps home network?16:43
billybigriggerie, it will transfer 50mb, then pause for about 8 secs, then go for another 50mb16:45
billybigriggerthe nfs server is through vbox, watching top, i have lots of cpu/mem available16:45
_rubensounds more like the disks cant handle it or so16:45
eagles0513875billybigrigger: they ide or sata drives16:45
billybigriggermaybe it's just slow through vbox, but the whole system hangs up after about 50mb16:45
billybigriggerhmm now that i think about it, my os disk is ide...16:46
billybigriggerhave 2 storage drives that are sata...16:46
eagles0513875billybigrigger: i have noticed that I/O is slow on vbox16:46
eagles0513875and ide doesnt help either16:46
billybigriggernope it doesn't16:46
billybigriggerjust testing nfs out, building a fileserver today, that will have 1tb sata16:46
billybigriggerthinking about getting a gigabit switch in here today too...16:46
eagles0513875gotcha your better off testing with a sata drive if you want more accurate I/O info16:47
billybigrigger2 storage drives on my main machine here are sata...so i shouldn't have any more problems when i go live, instead of using vbox16:47
billybigriggereagles0513875, you have experience with gigabit networks at all? ie for home use16:48
eagles0513875its funny you ask16:48
eagles0513875i dont have a giga switch16:48
eagles0513875but desktop and mac are both gigabit nics16:49
eagles0513875billybigrigger: what kinda questions you got16:49
billybigriggeryeah, new fileserver mobo will have gigabit nic, so i might as well take advantage of them16:49

mcasARTSIOM: how do you install this version?19:55
ARTSIOMmcas: apt-get install sun-java6-jdk19:56
mcasok then you have to download the -17 version from the java.sun.com website first19:57
ARTSIOMmcas: I am already browsing it for a while, but can't find a link for old versions...19:58

RickyWhapt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade to get any updates right?20:08
billybigriggerthis switch i bought only has 5 ports, so i imagine i just connect my router to link1?20:08
billybigriggeri thought it would have an uplink port for a router20:08

ScottKenav: Myself I've never had any stability issues with any of the supported releases, but, of course, depending on your hardware and package selections it may be different for you.23:50
ScottKIf you are just starting now, I would recommend starting with 10.04 (the most recent release).23:51
enavScottK  i ask that question because ebox is not running on my ubuntu server... i'm just downloading  Ubuntu Server edition 8  and see what happens23:51
ScottKThe most work around ebox integration was done for 8.04.23:52
enavScottK that means ebox is a little outdated?23:54
ScottKNo, it means that if you are using ebox, your best chance of it working is probably 8.04.23:55
