Dec 24 15:27:12 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  k
Dec 24 15:27:29 <caplink811_log> well, lets try to show if there is any data on the disk..
Dec 24 15:27:32 <Nimmit> Question...when I try to login to my proftp server on my link, ftp://ww2.jwjkp.com, the server disconnects me. You can see for yourself at that link
Dec 24 15:27:41 <Boomcar> k
Dec 24 15:27:50 <Boomcar> how?
Dec 24 15:28:11 <caplink811_log> pls, enter mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/tmpmnt
Dec 24 15:29:14 <Boomcar> invalid argument
Dec 24 15:30:13 <caplink811_log> your disk is on port1 or port2 ?
Dec 24 15:30:21 <Boomcar> 1
Dec 24 15:30:43 <caplink811_log> /mnt/tmpmnt shoudl exist, try mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
Dec 24 15:31:15 <Boomcar> same
Dec 24 15:31:34 <caplink811_log> whats about -> mount /dev/sda2 /mnt ?
Dec 24 15:31:43 <Boomcar> mount: Mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt failed: Invalid argument
Dec 24 15:33:05 <caplink811_log> whats about -> mount /dev/sda2 /mnt ?
Dec 24 15:33:35 <Boomcar> same
Dec 24 15:33:37 <Mika_> caplink811_log, is  fdisk -l /dev/sda1 not an option ? to see if the disk is there ?
Dec 24 15:34:18 <caplink811_log> Mika_,  yes, that is the next step
Dec 24 15:34:30 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  pls enter -> fdisk -l /dev/sda
Dec 24 15:34:53 <caplink811_log> that should show you the parameters of your disk an 3 partitions
Dec 24 15:34:57 <Boomcar> dev/sda1             1     24770 198964993+  83  Linux
Dec 24 15:35:08 <Boomcar> dev/sda2         24771     24785    120487+  83  Linux
Dec 24 15:35:16 <Boomcar> dev/sda3         24786     24792     56227+  82  Linux swap
Dec 24 15:35:21 <Boomcar> thats it
Dec 24 15:35:37 <caplink811_log> k, 200gb
Dec 24 15:35:46 <Boomcar> yup
Dec 24 15:37:02 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  do you have a unix box, or a knoppix cd avaiable?
Dec 24 15:37:10 <caplink811_log> available
Dec 24 15:37:31 <Boomcar> do I need it?
Dec 24 15:37:57 <caplink811_log> my experience is, yes, that would be better
Dec 24 15:38:01 <Boomcar> k
Dec 24 15:38:18 <Boomcar> I have to change from my laptop to my pc
Dec 24 15:39:35 <caplink811_log> take the disk with you, and after booting linux, you should plug in the disk
Dec 24 15:40:19 <caplink811_log> ~test
Dec 24 15:40:20 <capbot> ...test failed
Dec 24 15:40:29 <caplink811_log> ~thanks
Dec 24 15:40:29 <Boomcar> k
Dec 24 15:40:29 <capbot> bitte, caplink811_log
Dec 24 15:40:42 <Boomcar> so first boot without the hd attached?
Dec 24 15:40:52 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  what kind of linux is on your pc ?
Dec 24 15:41:03 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  yes
Dec 24 15:41:15 <Boomcar> knoppix 3.7
Dec 24 15:41:23 <caplink811_log> k, debian
Dec 24 15:41:48 <Boomcar> yes...
Dec 24 15:42:02 <Boomcar> when its booted and I attached the hd
Dec 24 15:42:11 <Boomcar> what do I have to do next?
Dec 24 15:43:03 <caplink811_log> attach the disk to your pc, it should be recognised automagically
Dec 24 15:43:38 <caplink811_log> you can use "dmesg" on a command line to see the last /var/message lines
Dec 24 15:45:03 <caplink811_log> equal to that http://pastebin.com/477941
Dec 24 15:45:55 <Mika_> usb stick caplink811_log :)
Dec 24 15:46:03 <Boomcar> k
Dec 24 15:46:07 <Boomcar> back again
Dec 24 15:46:17 <caplink811_log> but in your case, and if you haven't any scsi drives in your pc, the last line should show you disk sda
Dec 24 15:46:18 <Boomcar> too many mounted filesystems
Dec 24 15:46:34 <caplink811_log> Mika_,  cf card
Dec 24 15:47:18 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  before or after plug the slug disk ?
Dec 24 15:47:44 <Boomcar> when I go to the mounted sda
Dec 24 15:48:05 <Boomcar> I think
Dec 24 15:48:26 <Boomcar> I didn't notice anything happening when I turned the hd on
Dec 24 15:48:57 <caplink811_log> well, at this time we won't mount any partition from the slug disk, the question is: is knoppix recognised the slug disk ?
Dec 24 15:49:09 <Boomcar> mmm
Dec 24 15:49:13 <Boomcar> how can I tell?
Dec 24 15:49:22 <Mika_> try to see it with dmesg 
Dec 24 15:49:29 <Boomcar> dmesg
Dec 24 15:49:33 <caplink811_log> do you have used the "dmesg"  command on a command line ?
Dec 24 15:49:45 <Boomcar> nope now I will
Dec 24 15:50:33 <Boomcar> I did
Dec 24 15:50:42 <Boomcar> what line are we looking for?
Dec 24 15:50:55 <Boomcar> there are about a hundred
Dec 24 15:50:55 <caplink811_log> something like http://pastebin.com/477941
Dec 24 15:51:32 <caplink811_log> but in your case, and if you haven't any scsi drives in your pc, the last line should show you disk sda
Dec 24 15:52:35 <Boomcar> switching....
Dec 24 15:53:08 <caplink811_log> switching != quitting , basically
Dec 24 15:53:47 <caplink811_log> wb
Dec 24 15:53:51 <Boomcar> back
Dec 24 15:53:53 <Boomcar> at the pc
Dec 24 15:53:56 <Mika_> :)
Dec 24 15:53:57 <Boomcar> ok
Dec 24 15:54:04 <Boomcar> last lines
Dec 24 15:54:32 <Boomcar> group descriptors corrupted
Dec 24 15:55:32 <Boomcar> device = found
Dec 24 15:56:02 <caplink811_log> well, hopefully, the disk is plugged in (pc) and recognised, so you should open a command window/line, whatever and enter
Dec 24 15:56:14 <Boomcar> ext3-fs
Dec 24 15:56:49 <caplink811_log> fsck.ext3 -f -p /dev/sda1
Dec 24 15:58:15 <Boomcar> not -y?
Dec 24 15:58:58 <caplink811_log> -p -> no questions -> no automatic answers needed
Dec 24 15:59:02 <caplink811_log>  imho
Dec 24 15:59:11 <Boomcar> k
Dec 24 16:00:06 <Mika_> wb Boomcar

Dec 24 16:01:01 <caplink811_log> hm
Dec 24 16:01:18 <Boomcar> I think -y in stead of -p
Dec 24 16:01:26 <caplink811_log> and what is about fsck.ext3 -p -f 7dev/sda2 ?
Dec 24 16:02:03 <caplink811_log> and what is about fsck.ext3 -p -f  /dev/sda2 ? sorry, and yes you can try -y
Dec 24 16:02:28 <Boomcar> whats the copy command? ctrl+c?
Dec 24 16:02:54 <Mika_> right clik ?
Dec 24 16:03:14 <Mika_> ctrl+c is abort

Dec 24 16:04:46 <Mika_> caplink811_log, say : caplink811_log and what is about fsck.ext3 -p -f 7dev/sda2 ?
Dec 24 16:04:46 <Boomcar> I dunno the last commandline you entered
Dec 24 16:04:46 <Mika_> caplink811_log and what is about fsck.ext3 -p -f  /dev/sda2 ? sorry, and yes you can try -y
Dec 24 16:05:15 <caplink811_log> Mika_,  thank you
Dec 24 16:05:19 <Boomcar> same

Dec 24 16:06:31 <Boomcar> yes
Dec 24 16:06:54 <caplink811_log> hm, k, what is about -> fdisk -l /dev/sda ?
Dec 24 16:08:26 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  still around ?
Dec 24 16:08:35 <Boomcar> cannot open 
Dec 24 16:08:46 <Boomcar> dev/sda
Dec 24 16:08:48 <Mika_> sudo fdisk
Dec 24 16:08:51 <Mika_> maybe
Dec 24 16:09:06 <caplink811_log> nice idea, that is knoppix
Dec 24 16:09:06 <Mika_> or what is it in knoppix caplink811_log 
Dec 24 16:09:36 <caplink811_log> afair, yes, you're right, in knoppix only sudo works
Dec 24 16:10:00 <caplink811_log> running clean debian here, sorry
Dec 24 16:10:00 <Boomcar> yes but I need
Dec 24 16:10:20 <Boomcar> no
Dec 24 16:10:22 <Boomcar> nothing
Dec 24 16:10:24 <Boomcar> sorry
Dec 24 16:10:43 <Boomcar> sudo fdisk.......and?
Dec 24 16:10:57 <caplink811_log> hm, k, what is about -> sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda ?
Dec 24 16:11:35 <caplink811_log> how lucky must people are, when they says, i need nothing ;)
Dec 24 16:11:52 <Boomcar> k
Dec 24 16:11:59 <Boomcar> I see 3 sda's
Dec 24 16:12:14 <Boomcar> same as a while ago
Dec 24 16:12:22 <Boomcar> when I was on the laptop
Dec 24 16:12:28 <caplink811_log> k, so the disk is recognised, now time for fsck.ext3
Dec 24 16:12:31 <Boomcar> through the slug
Dec 24 16:12:48 <caplink811_log> sudo fsck.ext3 -f -p /dev/sda1
Dec 24 16:12:59 <caplink811_log> on your pc 
Dec 24 16:13:43 <Boomcar> sudo: unable to execute /sbin/fsck.ext3: Input/output error
Dec 24 16:14:06 <caplink811_log> grumpf
Dec 24 16:14:25 <caplink811_log> and , sudo fsck.ext3 -f -p /dev/sda2 ?
Dec 24 16:14:41 <Boomcar> nope
Dec 24 16:14:48 <Boomcar> when I was on the laptop
Dec 24 16:14:48 <caplink811_log> or , sudo fsck.ext3 -f -y /dev/sda2 ?
Dec 24 16:15:12 <Boomcar> it  worked and it gave me the output I gave earlier about group descriptions
Dec 24 16:15:42 <Boomcar> I tried them all and no success
Dec 24 16:16:02 <Mika_> caplink811_log, is the disk not auto mounted in knoppix ?
Dec 24 16:16:12 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  yes, but on my experience the fsck.ext3 on the slug is a little "buggy"
Dec 24 16:16:19 <Boomcar> k
Dec 24 16:16:25 <caplink811_log> Mika_,  dunno, but it is worth to verify that ;)
Dec 24 16:16:30 <Boomcar> k
Dec 24 16:16:31 <Boomcar> how
Dec 24 16:16:54 <Boomcar> ps I guess you didn't have a powerloss yet ;o)
Dec 24 16:16:56 <caplink811_log> enter mount and watch, if you see anything about /dev/sdax, then it is

Dec 24 16:25:12 <Nimmit> have time to help me now
Dec 24 16:25:18 <Boomcar> back again
Dec 24 16:25:22 <Boomcar> cheers
Dec 24 16:25:35 <Nimmit> I can't seem to get proftpd running
Dec 24 16:25:42 <Nimmit> I followed the directions on the site
Dec 24 16:25:48 <Boomcar> did the lines mean anything to u?
Dec 24 16:25:52 <caplink811_log> Nimmit,  can you connect to your ftpd locally?
Dec 24 16:25:55 <Nimmit> no
Dec 24 16:26:04 <Nimmit> I don't think it's running at all
Dec 24 16:26:08 <Nimmit> ps x doesn't show it
Dec 24 16:26:09 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  there are no lines... :(
Dec 24 16:26:18 <Nimmit> yet I have ran the command to run it
Dec 24 16:26:29 <Boomcar> dev/root on / type ext2 (rw)
Dec 24 16:26:32 <Boomcar> now?
Dec 24 16:26:53 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  , that is all? one line ?
Dec 24 16:27:30 <caplink811_log> Nimmit,  you start ftpd as stand alone or via inetd/xinetd ?
Dec 24 16:27:41 <Boomcar> no they are four after each other...
Dec 24 16:27:44 <Nimmit> standalone
Dec 24 16:27:53 <Mika_> post all Boomcar  :D
Dec 24 16:27:55 <Boomcar> but I didn't cut them
Dec 24 16:28:03 <Boomcar> that's all
Dec 24 16:28:34 <Mika_> only dev/root on / type ext2 (rw) Boomcar ?
Dec 24 16:28:52 <Boomcar> no wait
Dec 24 16:28:55 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  pls, do -> mount again, and post the output here, or at pastebin
Dec 24 16:28:59 <Boomcar> k
Dec 24 16:29:20 <Boomcar> dev/root on / type ext2 (rw)
Dec 24 16:29:38 <Boomcar> dev/scd1 on /cdrom type iso9660 (ro)
Dec 24 16:29:51 <Boomcar> dev/cloop on /KNOPPIX type iso9660 (ro)
Dec 24 16:30:12 <Boomcar> ramdisk on /ramdisk type tmpfs (rw,size=816000k)
Dec 24 16:30:20 <caplink811_log> Nimmit,  you start your ftpd with a command line like /opt/sbin/proftpd --config /opt/etc/proftpd.conf ?
Dec 24 16:30:28 <Boomcar> proc/bus/usb on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw,devmode=0666)
Dec 24 16:30:34 <Nimmit> let me try that
Dec 24 16:30:41 <Boomcar> automount(pid621) on /mnt/auto type autofs (rw,fd=4,pgrp=621,minproto=2,maxproto=4)
Dec 24 16:30:47 <Boomcar> alright
Dec 24 16:30:50 <Boomcar> there they are
Dec 24 16:31:04 <Nimmit> didn't work caplink811_log
Dec 24 16:31:55 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  as Mika_ said, there is a running automounter, which could make some problems, so run -> kill -9 612
Dec 24 16:32:08 <caplink811_log> sorry, kill -9 621
Dec 24 16:32:39 <Nimmit> caplink, I did it with /opt/etc/init.d/S58proftpd
Dec 24 16:32:42 <Boomcar> operation not permitted
Dec 24 16:32:57 <Nimmit> I think that's what the site said
Dec 24 16:33:05 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  sorry, -> sudo kill -9 621
Dec 24 16:33:49 <caplink811_log> and verify that the automounter is dead with the mount command, which should show you nothing about automounter anymore
Dec 24 16:34:11 <Boomcar> it's not
Dec 24 16:34:13 <Boomcar> dead
Dec 24 16:34:25 <caplink811_log> Nimmit,  and you have set the parameters in /opt/etc/proftpd.conf to standalone?
Dec 24 16:34:30 <Nimmit> yes
Dec 24 16:34:48 <Nimmit> that was the only setting I changed
Dec 24 16:34:59 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  anything about /dev/sda* in the output from the mount command?
Dec 24 16:35:19 <Boomcar> nope
Dec 24 16:35:23 <caplink811_log> k
Dec 24 16:35:26 <Mika_> Boomcar,  ps -ax |grep 612  what is the output ?
Dec 24 16:35:53 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  sudo fsck.ext3 -f -y /dev/sda2 ?
Dec 24 16:36:10 <caplink811_log> Mika_,  myself make a mistake, 621 it was
Dec 24 16:36:21 <Mika_> yes i read it now sorry :)
Dec 24 16:37:01 <caplink811_log> Nimmit,  which port do you use? 21 ?
Dec 24 16:37:07 <Nimmit> yes
Dec 24 16:37:08 <Boomcar> Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html
Dec 24 16:37:18 <Nimmit> caplink, the server does not show in ps x
Dec 24 16:37:21 <Mika_> sorry ps ax
Dec 24 16:37:27 <Boomcar> when I: ps -ax |grep 621
Dec 24 16:37:30 <caplink811_log> Nimmit,  you should try another, set it up in proftpd.conf
Dec 24 16:37:39 <Mika_> remove - before ax
Dec 24 16:37:44 <Nimmit> another server?
Dec 24 16:37:58 <caplink811_log> Nimmit,  another port
Dec 24 16:38:05 <Mika_> ps ax | grep 621
Dec 24 16:38:30 <Boomcar> same
Dec 24 16:38:57 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  sudo fsck.ext3 -f -y /dev/sda2 ?
Dec 24 16:39:52 <Boomcar> sudo: unable to execute /sbin/fsck.ext3: Input/output error
Dec 24 16:41:30 <Nimmit> that didn't work etiher caplink811_log
Dec 24 16:41:38 <Nimmit> it just wont run
Dec 24 16:41:39 <Mika_> caplink811_log, sudo -s ??
Dec 24 16:41:48 <Mika_> http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Root caplink811_log 
Dec 24 16:42:13 <Boomcar> -s won't work either
Dec 24 16:43:33 <caplink811_log> maybe a way, but it sounds, that it isn't
Dec 24 16:44:18 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  at least, you could try to run fsck.ext3 on the nlsu, but i might bet, that it don't work
Dec 24 16:45:02 <gilligan_> hi
Dec 24 16:45:09 <Boomcar> so I've to switch back to the laptop and the nslu2?
Dec 24 16:45:12 <caplink811_log> Nimmit,  any output related on ftpd in /var/log/messages or /opt/var/log/essages
Dec 24 16:45:13 <gilligan_> just got my nslu2 (thanks santa..:)
Dec 24 16:45:17 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  yes
Dec 24 16:45:20 <Boomcar> k
Dec 24 16:45:25 <Boomcar> switching
Dec 24 16:45:36 <caplink811_log> gilligan_,  tach
Dec 24 16:45:48 <gilligan_> caplink811_log :-)
Dec 24 16:46:07 <caplink811_log> gilligan_,  or good evening, or according to the ugt -> morning
Dec 24 16:46:16 <gilligan_> :)
Dec 24 16:46:50 <gilligan_> hm.. at first (out-of-the-box) linksys defaults to 192.168.0.1 ?
Dec 24 16:47:03 <Nimmit> caplink811_log, I don't see anything
Dec 24 16:47:37 <caplink811_log> gilligan_,  192.168.1.77 imho
Dec 24 16:47:58 <Boomcar> k
Dec 24 16:48:05 <Boomcar> back again
Dec 24 16:48:06 <gilligan_> oh.hmm
Dec 24 16:48:22 <Boomcar> which commandline do I need?
Dec 24 16:48:38 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  restart the mslu, log in, plug the disk in, and wait around 2 mins
Dec 24 16:49:05 <Boomcar> k
Dec 24 16:49:31 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  verify via the mount command ,that the disk isn't mounted (nothing in the output apbout /dev/sda*)
Dec 24 16:50:27 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  then run fsck.ext3 -f -y /dev/sda2
Dec 24 16:50:35 <gilligan_> caplink811_log, on the bottom there is some sticker MAC address.. but that's only : LKGD904E4, which hardly makes a full mac address.. is it some combination of that plus the serial number or so?
Dec 24 16:50:51 <caplink811_log> moment
Dec 24 16:50:54 <Mika_> guys i go slepp.
Dec 24 16:50:57 <Mika_> sleep*
Dec 24 16:51:01 <Mika_> night all
Dec 24 16:51:16 <caplink811_log> Mika_,  a good and also nice xmas night
Dec 24 16:51:19 <Mika_> ps caplink811_log maybe u can mout it as ext2
Dec 24 16:51:25 <Mika_> mount*
Dec 24 16:51:37 <Mika_> thx all... speak u all tomorow
Dec 24 16:51:58 <caplink811_log> Mika_,  also a good idea too, we'll see what the fsck on the slug does
Dec 24 16:52:02 <Mika_> nice xmass all
Dec 24 16:52:06 * Mika_ out
Dec 24 16:52:46 <caplink811_log> gilligan_,  the mac starts with 00:0f:66:7e:...
Dec 24 16:52:58 <gilligan_> caplink811_log, ah,thanks!
Dec 24 16:53:32 <Boomcar> caplink: sda2??
Dec 24 16:53:35 <Boomcar> not 1?
Dec 24 16:53:55 <caplink811_log> as a test sda2 which is the conf partition
Dec 24 16:54:10 <caplink811_log> or should we try it on your data partition?
Dec 24 16:54:36 <Boomcar> dev/sda2: 35/30240 files (0.0% non-contiguous), 7987/120484 blocks
Dec 24 16:54:59 <caplink811_log> k, next try /dev/sda1
Dec 24 16:55:32 <Boomcar> after pass1 : killed
Dec 24 16:55:44 <caplink811_log> gilligan_,  i'm not sure, about that what i've said
Dec 24 16:55:46 <Boomcar> Group descriptors look bad... trying backup blocks...
Dec 24 16:55:55 <gilligan_> caplink811_log, hm..yes something is weird..
Dec 24 16:56:15 <gilligan_> caplink811_log, because the MAC address sticker on the bottom contains 4 digits
Dec 24 16:56:17 <caplink811_log> gilligan_,  the other slug starts with 00:04:5a:0f:...
Dec 24 16:56:41 <gilligan_> caplink811_log, i'd like to arp the ip address to smth convenient for my setup here..
Dec 24 16:56:43 <caplink811_log> gilligan_,  why you need the mac adress?
Dec 24 16:56:55 <gilligan_> ^
Dec 24 16:57:50 <Boomcar> Caplink: after pass 1: killed
Dec 24 16:57:52 <gilligan_> but as I can't figure it out..
Dec 24 16:57:59 <Mika_> one quick word ifconfig |grep HW
Dec 24 16:58:06 <Mika_> bye now
Dec 24 16:58:38 <Boomcar> night Mika
Dec 24 16:59:27 <Boomcar> Caplink: still around?
Dec 24 16:59:32 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  retry it pls
Dec 24 16:59:51 <Boomcar> same
Dec 24 17:00:13 <caplink811_log> gilligan_,  dunno, what is your target with the slug? unslung, openslug, debonaras, linksys(baeh)?
Dec 24 17:00:45 <gilligan_> caplink811_log, unslug..but right now i'd like to be able to at least *ping* it once :)
Dec 24 17:01:23 <caplink811_log> gilligan_,  running win or *x?
Dec 24 17:01:28 <gilligan_> linux
Dec 24 17:01:41 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  try fsck.ext3 -p -f /dev/sda1
Dec 24 17:02:39 <caplink811_log> gilligan_,  try to run upslug, that should show you the mac adress too, if you need the binary -> www.jrbnet.de/texte/upslug imho
Dec 24 17:02:50 <Boomcar> dev/sda1: Block bitmap for group 384 is not in group.  (block 33133)
Dec 24 17:02:58 <Boomcar> amongst others
Dec 24 17:03:09 <Boomcar> dev/sda1: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
Dec 24 17:03:28 <caplink811_log> maybe running long time
Dec 24 17:03:53 <caplink811_log> one way would be -> fsck.ext3 -f /dev/sda1
Dec 24 17:04:04 <caplink811_log> another way would be, the question
Dec 24 17:04:05 <gilligan_> caplink811_log, i'd need that as source.. running ppc linux here :)
Dec 24 17:04:27 <caplink811_log> anyone with fsck.ext3 knowledge around ???
Dec 24 17:04:34 <gilligan_> ah..nevermind.. found it with google
Dec 24 17:05:06 <caplink811_log> gilligan_,  you can check out the source at sourceforge.net at 
Dec 24 17:05:22 <gilligan_> yep
Dec 24 17:05:50 <caplink811_log> http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/nslu/upslug/
Dec 24 17:06:47 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  if you want to rum fsck manually, then it could take a long time, to answer all questions with y
Dec 24 17:07:02 <Boomcar> mmm
Dec 24 17:07:08 <Boomcar> what do u suggest?
Dec 24 17:08:12 <caplink811_log> you could wait for someone with fsck experience (maybe senseless), or run it manually, which could repair your hdd
Dec 24 17:08:47 <Boomcar> when I run it manually it can repair it?
Dec 24 17:09:28 <caplink811_log> maybe yes, maybe not, but this is more as in that moment
Dec 24 17:10:01 <Boomcar> what means: tune2fs -j /dev/sda1 ?
Dec 24 17:10:08 <caplink811_log> gilligan_,  i'm pleased to point you to #nslu2-german, too
Dec 24 17:10:30 <Boomcar> found it here: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/TroubleshootADriveNotFormattedCondition
Dec 24 17:11:14 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  dunno, that is a "tuning" prog, which isn't on my unslung slug, only an my deb-slug
Dec 24 17:12:04 <gilligan_> caplink811_log, well English works just fine for me tho.. but i can still check that channel aswell of course.. :)
Dec 24 17:12:24 <Boomcar> could I try it on the knoppix box?
Dec 24 17:12:46 <gilligan_> caplink811_log, hm.. figured out the mac address using that tool.. and did an arp -s 192.168.0.3 ... / however it doesn't respond to that. neither ping nor http
Dec 24 17:13:01 <caplink811_log> well, there you can talk to one to three bouncers, one bot, and sometimes to a real human
Dec 24 17:14:05 <gilligan_> oops.my fault i think..
Dec 24 17:14:40 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  tune2fs may not working correctly on the scsi emulation for usb disks, and -j may only change some journal parameters
Dec 24 17:14:59 <caplink811_log> and not repair the disk structure
Dec 24 17:15:17 <Boomcar> Caplink: and: 'mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/tmpmnt'
Dec 24 17:15:39 <caplink811_log> gave you an error before
Dec 24 17:16:25 <Boomcar> you are right
Dec 24 17:16:36 <Boomcar> mmmm
Dec 24 17:16:54 <Boomcar> seems that I've to reinstall the whole thing?
Dec 24 17:17:06 <Boomcar> and buy a surgeprotector
Dec 24 17:17:21 <caplink811_log> depends on the among of data on your slug
Dec 24 17:17:49 <Boomcar> I really want whats on it
Dec 24 17:18:07 <gilligan_> hm.crap.. still doesn't work
Dec 24 17:18:24 <caplink811_log> if you have a backup, then format and reinstall is faster, if you haven't, then fsck.ext3 -f /dev/sda1 is the better but slower way
Dec 24 17:18:58 <Boomcar> could take me an hour?
Dec 24 17:19:03 <Boomcar> more or less?
Dec 24 17:19:52 <caplink811_log> something like that, myself only try it one time, some years ago, it was a pain
Dec 24 17:19:59 <gilligan_> caplink811_log, okay.. now I am somewhat lost.. could use some hints :)
Dec 24 17:20:07 <Boomcar> k
Dec 24 17:20:14 <Boomcar> I will tomorrow
Dec 24 17:20:40 <Boomcar> when it runs...what do I need to do...or just answer the questions?
Dec 24 17:20:51 <caplink811_log> gilligan_,  let's switch to #nslu2-german, that is easier for me at this time
Dec 24 17:21:12 <caplink811_log> Boomcar,  only answer all questions with yes -> y
Dec 24 17:21:19 <gilligan_> caplink811_log, k
Dec 24 17:21:20 <Boomcar> thats it?
Dec 24 17:21:25 <caplink811_log> yes
Dec 24 17:21:28 <Boomcar> mmmm
Dec 24 17:22:21 <Boomcar> I will do it now
Dec 24 17:23:15 <caplink811_log> much luck
Dec 24 17:23:21 <Boomcar> pass 1: killed!!
Dec 24 17:24:15 <Boomcar> that was short
Dec 24 17:25:16 <caplink811_log> ugly
Dec 24 17:25:36 <Boomcar> and now?
Dec 24 17:25:45 <caplink811_log> but that could depend on the linksys fsck.ext3
Dec 24 17:26:25 <Boomcar> again?
Dec 24 17:26:31 <caplink811_log> nope
Dec 24 17:27:20 <Boomcar> mmm
Dec 24 17:27:25 <caplink811_log> i know, you couldn't sleep that night, but we should displace that until tomorrow, in the evening
Dec 24 17:27:53 <Boomcar> ok
Dec 24 17:27:57 <Boomcar> p\np
Dec 24 17:28:01 <Boomcar> its late
Dec 24 17:28:16 <Boomcar> tomorrow and monday I am away
Dec 24 17:28:24 <Boomcar> so Tuesday will be alright'
Dec 24 17:28:48 <Boomcar> Do you really think it is possible to rescue the data
Dec 24 17:29:32 <caplink811_log> well, may be, dunno, but monday is ok, tomorrow, we'll take a dinner by my parents..
Dec 24 17:29:46 <Boomcar> me too
Dec 24 17:29:49 <caplink811_log> and tuesday too
Dec 24 17:30:00 <caplink811_log> tuesday is ok
Dec 24 17:30:07 <Boomcar> ok
Dec 24 17:30:21 <Boomcar> goodnight and thnx for your time
Dec 24 17:30:25 <caplink811_log> good night, and nice gifts for you
Dec 24 17:30:56 <Boomcar> ;o)
Dec 24 17:31:03 <Boomcar> c ya
Dec 24 17:43:48 <Nimmit> caplink811_log, is it possible the ftp server that was orginally on the nslu2 is causing my problem?
Dec 24 17:44:55 <caplink811_log> no, it isn't cause you tried another port as 21, and iit didn't work too
Dec 24 17:45:43 <Nimmit> ah
Dec 25 01:42:18 <Mika_> caplink811_log, morning
Dec 25 01:42:32 <Mika_> caplink811_log, it was not working with boomcar ?
Dec 25 01:43:06 <Mika_> Maybe when he lives close to me he can atache the disk on my linux pc and try to save data
Dec 25 01:44:39 <Mika_> or i can give him a ubuntu cd so he can make a dual boot and enjoy more from linux
Dec 25 01:44:55 <Mika_> i have to runn now to my visite speak u all this evening
Dec 25 02:29:13 <NSLU2-IRC> morning
Dec 25 02:29:19 <NSLU2-IRC> had a bad night
Dec 25 02:29:28 <NSLU2-IRC> after yesterday evening ;o(
