SIOCSIFADDR: File exists after upgrading kernelview story

http://unix.stackexchange.com – Since upgrading my (Gentoo) kernel from 2.6.38 to 3.3.8 (via oldconfig), I can't get the network on eth0 up anymore. It reports "SIOCSIFADDR: File exists" with a number of other SIOCSIF* errors that seem related. I have the CONFIG_BNX2=y configuration for the Broadcom NetXtreme II NIC that the machine has (which we have been using for years) enabled in the new kernel. Any hints? (HowTos)

What keeps one side of an rsync so busy?view story

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I've got a debian machine in my lan serving as a backup server for the others. It has four HDDs combined into a software RAID 5 md device, on that an lvm, and on that a btrfs. Backups are made using rsync, and for a large filesystem take over an hour. (HowTos)

https://bbs.archlinux.org – ataraxia wrote:The "core" images (that included packages on the ISO) caused support problems. If the ISO was older than some recent difficult upgrade, users were faced with tough steps (like a combined filesystem and glibc upgrade) immediately after install. The net install method avoids that. (HowTos)

What is the Arch Way to load "many" modules during boot?view story

https://bbs.archlinux.org – @tomegunYour idea of using a separate file is appealing.  It would eliminate the clutter of having 50+ modules listed in rc.conf.  It would also be much easer to read with only one module per line.  However, I am concerned that this may be an atypical solution as I do not have an /etc/load-modules.d/ folder.  What packages/daemons/etc are required to implement this?@ngooneeI am (HowTos)

Hey #!'ers!view story

http://crunchbanglinux.org – Some of you might already know me, as I'm active in the IRC channel. Figured I should register here since I've put it off for so long. My jump into Linux started about two years ago with backtrack 4, moved to Ubuntu 10.04 which had a nice graphics bug. Next was #!, when it was still based on Ubuntu. Installed Arch after that, and now my laptop runs Gentoo, desktop on #!. (HowTos)

Can't mount existing partitions during Arch_X86-64 re-installview story

https://bbs.archlinux.org – Silly question.  You are doing that with root permissions, right?  (Sorry I have to ask)Have you fsck'd those partitions?  (I have not used Reiserfs since my Gentoo days, does one use fsck, or something else?)Any chance the kernel modules for those file systems are not loaded? ewaller https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=27289 2012-07-19T03:45:59Z (HowTos)

Tomcat logging on Gentooview story

http://serverfault.com – I have recently set up a dedicated server running Gentoo and Tomcat. There are problems with the application I deployed, so I wanted to check the logs but it doesn't seem to be logging everything. The application is deployed in the in the "ROOT" folder and, reading the /etc/tomcat-7/logging.properties file, it looks like the log file is located on /var/log/tomcat-7/localhost.yyyy-mm-dd.log.
