Hallo, Richard, Du meintest am 13.02.02 zum Thema Re: [Trinux-talk] Harddrive Format: > Using cfdisk, I create a partition on the hard drive of type > 'Linux'.

Maybe yoe need first a reboot after partitioning. Maybe you should use "fdisk" or "sfdisk" instead of "cfdisk". Viele Gruesse! Helmut |

What type of filesystem are you trying to clone? What, exactly is on the source partition? What is the device id of the source partition? What is the device id of the destination partition?

The reason I was trying to mount the partition after creating it was to make sure I was creating it correctly. If I create a Linux (82?) type partition what -t type do I specify in the mount command line? What type partition do I create if I want to use the ext2 driver to mount the partition? I am using dd to an intermediary file so that I get matching hashes from the initial partition and the destination image file. If I dd from drive to drive, it will make an exact copy of the partition, but the hashes won't match. I agree that I might be missing something. I just looked online and saw that I am missing the mkfs command step. I told you this was a newbie question. ----- Original Message ----- From: <tb...@ti...> To: "Richard Thomas" <ri...@th...> Cc: "Trinux-Talk" <tri...@li...> Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 11:36 AM Subject: Re: [Trinux-talk] Harddrive Format > > The dd command you quote is to read IN the partition to a file.

The dd command you quote is to read IN the partition to a file. I assume you are changing the command when you dd the file to a partition. Do you know the proper device name for the partition you have just created? Was it used in the dd (out) command? You might try a "dd if=/dev/hdXX | od -c | head" and a "dd if=/directory/disk.img | od -c | head" and compare them visually. This might tell you alot. Perhaps you are missing an important piece... A partition defines a region of disk. A filesystem fills a partition, and defines how the data is organized. A file is a container, placed within a filesystem, that can hold data. [.*]nux offers features not found in other OS's, including the ability to bypass the filesystem and place a file on a partition and vise versa. You can dd a partition to a file. and then dd the file back to a new partition. You will have mirrored the partition. If you have both disks connected but unmounted, then you can dd directly "dd if=/dev/hde1 of=/dev/hde2". The imtermediary file is not necessary. You can then mount the second partition, just as you did the first. If you couldn't mount the source partition, then you won't be able to mount the clone. What is on the partition you are hoping to clone? Is is a windows partition? FAT? NTFS? or Linux? minix, ext2, ext3?. I think this may be a mount issue...

Okay, here goes. Using cfdisk, I create a partition on the hard drive of type 'Linux'. Then I 'W'rite the partition table. I tried to mount the partition using the minix type. I get the error, "Too many filesystems, wrong partition, yada yada..." I loaded ext2.o and tried to mount using the ext2 type. Didn't work. I loaded ntfs.o and change the partition type to 'HPFS/NTFS'. I tried to mount using the ntfs type. Didn't work. I guess I don't know what "-t type" to specify when mounting a Linux type partition. When I initially tried to dd partition to the image file on a FAT32 partition, I got an error about exceeding the 2GB file limit. The dd command line looks like this: dd if=/dev/hdd1 of=/directory/disk.img bs=1M I am writing a hard drive partition to an image file and then writing the image file to a 'clean' hard drive.

It should work. However, the devil is in the details. What modules did you load? What is the dd command line? What are you doing after the dd finishes, that causes you to believe that the dd failed? If you hope to use the disk as a filesystem, then the image you are putting on the disk must be a fully formed filesystem. You should be able to test the image with a mount -o loop command before you do the dd. The partition type should be set to match the type of filesystem. More info would help.

Good morning all... I have a newbie question, sorry. I am using cfdisk to create a partition on a harddrive. I select the default type as Linux and then write the partition table. However, I am not able to then mount the partition under Trinux. I load what I think are the appropriate modules. I have even tried changing the type to NTFS with no luck. What I am trying to do is create a partition that I can write a 6.5GB image file to using dd. I previously tried this with VFAT, but ran into the 2GB file size limit. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Richard Thomas |

dear all,
i have installed cron daemon. I edited the crontab as :
" 12 12 13 feb wed root >/var/log/messages 2>&test --cron.daily "
when i am running cron daemon using : " /etc/init.d/cron start|stop "
i will be gtting the message as: ".. cron starting:command not found "
and if u view in /var/log/messages file
I find
...cron.info /usr/sbin(CRON}[551] STARTUP (fork ok)
...cron.info /usr/sbin(CRON}[551] STAT FAILED (/etc/cron.d)
please solve this and give suitable solution.

Max rd size is hard coded into the kernel, but the max for the initrd depends on when you build the initrd with dd. I believe by default the last release of trinux used tmpfs /shmfs for all partitions except for / (which was the initrd) so it doesn't even use ramdisks. - mdf > > It 'could' also be a trinux-script problem perhaps. > I also had troubles with RAMdisk-size on my 64 Mb system.

It 'could' also be a trinux-script problem perhaps. I also had troubles with RAMdisk-size on my 64 Mb system. Trinux couldn't use all RAM. I tried it by make changes on inir.rd. Now for me it works fine. I'm no expert on this matter. Perhaps I'm wrong. (I want to get a full linux in RAM with a size of 512 Mb. Loaded from the net. For fun. But at this time I don't have this amount of RAM so I can't test it.) Arne |

Hello,
I am currently learning Perl with trinux.
I was looking for the IO::Socket perl module. I actually found
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/IO/Socket/INET.pm
but not
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/IO/Socket.pm
which IO::Socket::INET and loads of other stuff rely on.
I have installed the following packages: perlbin, perlcore, perluni, perlsite, perlmods.
Did someone find it in another package? If it is not included, could you please include it in a package?
Thanks a lot.

Thanks for tracking this down -- if there is enough interest I can create a trinux-uml mailing list so we can take this off the trinux-talk list. I really haven't done a formal release announcement but there might be some interest in using a UML version of trinux for various things. - mdf > Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2002 01:06:31 -0500 (EST) > From: Jonathan Rosenbaum <mma...@ya...> > To: Bill Burdick <bi...@ap...> > Cc: tri...@li..., Matthew Franz <mf...@ci...> > Subject: Re: [Trinux-talk] (Solution) Alternative kernels and trinux-uml > > Hi trinux-talkers, > > Yes, the solution did come from looking at Bill's kernel config > for his uml.

The file /tux/config/crontab on the boot floppy follows the same format as the standard cron daemon. Create it if it is not there.

Hi trinux-talkers,
Yes, the solution did come from looking at Bill's kernel config
for his uml. This is a really interesting problem. What is happening is
that the order in which the VFS (Virtual File System) is being checked by
the kernel for filesystem type determines when the bug occurs.
In this case cramfs is the culprit. Notice what is happening below:
RAMDISK: Minix filesystem found at block 0
RAMDISK: Loading 4096 blocks [1 disk] into ram disk... done.
Freeing initrd memory: 4096k freed
cramfs: wrong magic
MINIX-fs: mounting unchecked file system, running fsck is recommended.
VFS: Mounted root (minix filesystem).
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
When CONFIG_CRAMFS is made into a module or not included, the problem
disappears. But when I ran the same uml kernel with cramfs on an initrd
which has ext2 fs, the problem also disappears. This is because the
kernel uses an order when checking the fs. You can look at this order in
/proc/filesystems.
For instance:
nodev rootfs
nodev bdev
nodev proc
nodev sockfs
nodev tmpfs
nodev shm
nodev pipefs
nodev binfmt_misc
ext2
cramfs
minix
umsdos
msdos
An initrd with minix will fail in the above situation, but an initrd with
ext2 won't. So at this point if you want minix or msdos you can't have
cramfs included in the kernel. This may be related to a documented bug in
cramfs, regardless, a simple solution would be to put cramf at the end of
the VFS check list since it would be nice to have cramfs and everything
else, too.
Thanks for the config. I am going to be posting a bug report at
user-mode-linux-devel, if you notice another fs causing this VFS problem
contact me, or add to this post.
Regards,
Jonathan

Actually, the ramdisk_size switch does work properly. Compiling 7168 into the kernel didn't help.

The problem might be in the args you're passing to the kernel. Here are the command line args I'm using (from my run script): umid=bob initrd=initrd root=/dev/ram0 umlpacks=$dir/$disk eth0=daemon eth1=daemon $args umid -- identifies this instances name for uml_mconsole initrd -- identifies initrd file -- note that you need this one, NOT init= -- this could be your problem right here root=/dev/ram0 -- identifies the device for initrd umlpacks=$dir/$disk -- stuff for my linuxrc eth0=daemon -- ethernet device. run uml_switch for this to work. eth1=daemon -- ethernet device Also, you must make sure that initrd and minix are compiled into the kernel (not as modules), and make sure that the ram dev size is big enough (I use 7168) On Sun, 2002-02-10 at 17:25, Jonathan Rosenbaum wrote: > Hi,exec ../linux > > I've been trying to get the initrd from trinux-uml-0.1.tgz to work with > another kernel which has both CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD > configured, the minix fs mounts, but for some reason an initial console > can't be found, and this isn't a devfs issue either since nomount is used. > > Usually, in a situation like this it would be safe to assume that > something is amiss in the initrd, but this is definitely not the case, and > the initrd does work properly with the kernel which comes with trinux-uml. > I thought maybe it was a compiler issue so I made a uml (2.4.17-5um) with > the same compiler used to make the trinux-uml kernel, but I still had the > same results. > > This leads me to suspect that it is a configuration conflict.

I'm using it for rapid turnaround in configuration testing and for automated regression testing. You can change a trinux distribution and test it immediately. Boot up time is very quick, because there is no machine to initialize (no BIOS, etc.). You can have a script alter distributions and config parameters and test the results all by itself.

Could be very usefull for a Honney-net / Honney Pot. I would be very very very interested to see the result you get on the mailing list. So if you are successfull at setting up a Trinux bootCD or boot from IDE that can then run UML... Please report to this mailing list.

Trinux-UML has to be run inside of a Linux distro. But you could run a bunch of instances of Trinux all on their own virtual network if you wanted. - mdf > > What would be the advantage of using UML-Trinux over regular > > trinux-ide? > > > "There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX.
