Some time ago, I wrote a small GUI to hotunplug eSATA drives I use for backup. It should be distrib and desktop independent (but requires Qt, but NOT kde).

Comment on building the Funambol extension for TB3 on Linux/x86-64 by he1ix

hmm, unfortunately this fails as well because it still misses a file that is not generated by the "dpkg-buildpackage" process... the error message is:

lMozillaTransportAgent.cpp:44: fatal error: nsIXMLHttpRequest.h: No such file or directory

Instead of using “thunderbird-dev“, the “lightning-extension“ source package could be used, you have to run “dpkg-buildpackage“ once to generate all the headers and a bunch of symlinks have to be set inside the “mozilla/dist/include“ directory:

Comment on hp-snmp-agents on debian 6.0 (squeeze) by Seth

I’d recommend fixing the dependency in the init script instead. The problem is actually in the file:

/etc/init.d/hp-snmp-agents

One of the Required-Start parameters is incorrect: “snmp” should be changed to “snmpd”. This is the correct dependency for the SNMP daemon. Previously this was simply ignored without dependency based boot support.

Hi!
If you can’t find anything like AHCI in your BIOS settings, look for things like “legacy” mode or similar in the controller config.

To answer your question: no, I don’t issue any command prior to inserting drives – but I’ve never checked the transfer modes on the new drives. The system just recognized them and I was happy (to be more verbose, I didn’t do this on any production server but just on my stupid desktop machine at work that does not have enough SATA-ports – so I used the hotplugging feature just to avoid the unnecessary reboot when changing drives).

Ah, here’s the link my posting is based on: http://blog.shadypixel.com/safely-removing-external-drives-in-linux/

Hello, I am looking for information on proper SATA hot-swap / hot-plug on Ubuntu for about a month and there doesn’t seem to be any consensus. Your blog post caught my attention because I see the exact same kernel messages on my syslog when I pull one of my sata drives out.

My motherboard bios says nothing about AHCI, nor does its documentation, so I am guessing it is not AHCI compliant.

I wanted to ask you: Do you issue any command prior to inserting a new drive? I mean, suppose you want to add a new drive to your array, not replace a drive. If so, does your system recognize it? Mine does, but in wrong PIO/udma modes.

Comment on toying around with OpenSync, Symbian (Nokia E65) and Funambol by Stefano Maffulli

Stefano Maffulli — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 17:17:43 +0000

The problem with Funambol may be a very simple one, probably only a small issue with a synclet and your phone’s model. I have a Nokia E71 but I don’t lose the ‘default’ information. Would you be so kind to send a full log of the sync process to the Funambol Open Discussion forum? Thanks, Stef
