2600 meeting
by Ben Bewick 01 Jul '11

01 Jul '11

Hello Aluggers, A few people from alug have expressed and interest in the 2600 meetings, Stevepdp and I are attempting to relaunch the Norwich group. The meeting will take place today (Friday 1st July) at 6pm at the old Borders entrance to Chapelfield Mall, under the Big-Screen TV. Just to be verbose, we are not trying to poach alug members, we are by example attending both meets. There is alot of crossover of interests, we hope that both communities can benefit from each other. For those who are interested and can attend, see you there. If you are interested but cannot attend, maybe next month? For more information you can see our specific group information at http://norwich2600.co.uk or you can get a more generalised view at http://2600.net Viper

Loosing IP address
by James Bensley 01 Jul '11

I expect this is totally obvious and I'm being a complete buffoon but I can't work it out. Every time I disconnect my Ethernet cable on my laptop I loose my IP address (dropping to none configured) [Ubuntu 10.10]. I am constantly unplugging my cable and plugging it in different switch ports configuring switches all day, and I have to keep a terminal window open in the background so I can quickly switch to it, hit "up" and "enter" to re-run "sudo ifconfig eth0 1.2.3.4". I takes 5 seconds but man its annoying. Anyone got any idea? -- James. http://www.jamesbensley.co.cc/

Motherboard software RAID vs Linux FakeRAID
by Mark Rogers 01 Jul '11

01 Jul '11

I have an HP server with on-board RAID, ie it takes two drives and presents them to the O/S as a single drive, but the management of that drive utilises the main CPU not a RAID controller. If I use it, how would I be able to detect the RAID status? Or should I just use software RAID and mdtools? lspci reports: 00:11.0 RAID bus controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB7x0/SB8x0/SB9x0 SATA Controller [Non-RAID5 mode] (rev 40) If I decided to move to software RAID, what are my chances of migrating the existing install to RAID without re-installing? -- Mark Rogers // More Solutions Ltd (Peterborough Office) // 0844 251 1450 Registered in England (0456 0902) @ 13 Clarke Rd, Milton Keynes, MK1 1LG
