When you have one(only 1) disk in your
mail/web/whatever server... and the disk is starting
to go "Unable to read block #" ..... then you really better hurry to get your disk replaced!
!!
it will within a very short timeframe.. fail completely... and if you (as I have!) set up th
e drive with LVM... it is not just as simple as making a clone from old to new disk using "d
d" .... (which.. in retrospect I should have!!)
1. Follow most of the instructions here
until you get to the "ext2online" .. which i think is a RedHar/Fedora thing....
and use:
e2fsck -f "LV Name"
resize2fs "LV Name"
"LV Name" you get from the "lvdisplay" command.....
Sigh...... This is a complete f#!#!#### up....
beware if you're on PowerPC platform... then these commands will definitely screw up your in
stallation...
You have to boot using a rescue cd... and _not_until_then_ when you have these devices _not_
mounted will you be able to use the "e2fsck" command..
and so another PowerPC Linux got stuffed.....

Replacing a disk on Debian(Lenny)

I have for some time been tryng to get
OpenBravo installed on Debian, Lenny(PowerPC)... but getting
nowhere as the the installation got stuck on “Executing
creation script for the complete database”....
and have not been find a solution for this... as i tried to install this on amd64, I noticed that the package also installed the “unixodbc” package which is a prereq for the sun-java6 ... but not so when you try to install just the openjdk(which is the only alternative on PowerPC)
so go back to PowerPC or stay on amd64 ?????

1. Follow the
http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-openbravo-erp-on-debian-lenny
2. First issue is that although Postgresql is installed... it does not start!
You have to do a ”pg_createcluster --locale da_DK.UTF-8 8.3 main --start” which effectively will recreate your
Postgresql database.
3. Small annoying OpenJDK issue on Debian-powerpc .... you have to make a link in the $JAVA_HOME/lib directory
like ”ln -s ppc powerpc” .... otherwise Tomcat will not start......

I need to setup a RAID/1 for our
mail/web system.....
I follow a part from the http://lart.ca/DebianOnXServeHOWTO.html
(for the yaboot and OpenFirmware part, which is crucial on a Apple PowerPC platform)
and http://www.howtoforge.com/software-raid1-grub-boot-debian-etch-p2 for the actual definition of the RAID/1 definitions.. which actually takes place on a live system......

it’s been awhile.....
But then again... most stuff in life moves around in circles......
Anyhow...
Our web/mail server has been replaced (leaving NetBSD for Debian Linux.... sigh!) ... have had a lot of fun doing the migration, firstly doing a stint into FreeBSD.... but being on PowerPC, this sadly led to a complete disk-loss due to no rescue-disk available...
yeah.. I could have made a backup.... but backups are for cowards.. right? .. so I suffered instead.. and now have a Debian linux box happily chugging along..... (TiBook 400Mhz)
I need to persuade ”someone” that the http://www.hoerhavegaard.dk should be converted from Quark into something more manageable.... like RapidWeaver or .... iWeb.. or ... something.... but that is not easily done.....
