No more /8s!

From theiana on Twitter: 39/8 and 106/8 allocated to #APNIC. 5 unicast #IPv4 /8s remain to be allocated

Wonder when the last 5 actually go.

I hate twitter.  POS OCD garbage.  URL to a reference or just a another
drive my from twits?

By policy, they go immediately.  If the last two prior to that have
gone, the final 5 are to be allocated 1 per RIR at that time.  The deal
is done.  This was the policy set over a year ago at IANA.  It's only a
matter of which to who.

And the race was won and it was January and not February.

No announcement from IANA but the table does indicate only 5 remaining.

From APNIC: http://www.apnic.net/publications/news/2011/delegation

From IANA: https://twitter.com/#!/theiana/status/32227138937561089
Also:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-address-space.xml

The last link shows 39/8 and 106/8 to APNIC.

For the moment, Wikipedia still shows net-39 and net-106 as unallocated.

Apparently, the /usr/bin/whois binary on my system won't even check
whois, I get:

2011-01-31 19:49:05 EST (Linux 2.6.35-25-generic)
<mbt <at> aloe> ~ $ whois 39.0.0.0
Unknown AS number or IP network. Please upgrade this program.

2011-01-31 19:49:06 EST (Linux 2.6.35-25-generic)
<mbt <at> aloe> ~ $ whois 106.0.0.0
Unknown AS number or IP network. Please upgrade this program.

IANA shows it in WHOIS:
http://www.iana.org/cgi-bin/whois?q=39.0.0.0
http://www.iana.org/cgi-bin/whois?q=106.0.0.0

So, just need to see what happens with the others, haven't seen them
yet.

IANA announced on Twitter.  :-)  I subscribed to their feed shortly
before your talk, figuring that would probably be a good way to keep an
eye on it.  :-)

Seems that was where they announced first.

I saw it on APNIC's Web site just a couple of minutes before I saw the
announcement on Twitter.

Looks like nets 102, 103, 104, 179, and 185 remain, for whatever short
time they are still there.

Yeah, now that I wil accept.

Sorry...  Twitter is not an acceptable authoritative source "from IANA"
I don't care who the person is.  It has to be on an authoritative web
site.

Saw that.  Counted the remaining blocks.

To each their own.  :)

I'll take an announcement from an authentic account on Twitter, if it is
made there.  A lot of places use it for announcements now.  Between
RIPE, ARIN, and IANA, they've all been busy on Twitter lately,
highlighting IPv6.

Re: init problem after dist-upgrade

Once I see the errors, I end up with a BusyBox shell, initramfs and it looks like I can run only a few commands.


Is there any expert in the Marietta area that I can seek help from ?  I am in the east cobb area.

PS:  For me to post screen shot please let me know where and how to post images.

Don't bother with the screen shots.

Maybe I should first mention:  Do you have your data backed up?  If so you can reinstall and recover...  Or use a LiveCD and backup your data to a USB drive or rsync over the network.

But if this is right you will need to fix the filesystem before recovering the data...
First hit of google Maverick init not found, pass value to init 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1594621 

All they did was manually fsck the filesystem. fsck is file system check for ext2,3,4 file systems.  They didn't seem to cover how they did it all that well since it seems to have just one partiton, so here is a little trick that might make it easier. Put a file called forcefsck in the root of the partition or partitions will force the file system check.

Boot with a LiveCD, probably what you used to install Ubuntu. Use whatever GUI file manager thing they have, the web page talks about using gparted, I thought that was for partitioning, not mounting drives... In kde dolphin is the default GUI file manager, to mount the partition or partitions, click on the left side.  Make sure it is a ext partition, you don't want to do this on xfs or other partition types without making sure you don't need other options or whatever, ie xfs has its own repair utility.
Open a terminal...
df -h, or lshw or dmesg to determine the filesystem you want.
mount with no options to check the filesystem type 
sudo touch /forcefsck  using the correct path.

For example I plugged in a 40GB PATA drive with one of those USB adapters.
Mounted it with dolphin.    
cp <at> meerkat:~$ df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1              19G  4.3G   15G  23% /
...
/dev/sda7             270G   22G  248G   8% /home
/dev/sda6             9.2G  2.3G  6.5G  26% /mythbuntu
/dev/sdb1              36G   22G   13G  64% /media/disk
cp <at> meerkat:~$ mount
/dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0)
...
/dev/sda7 on /home type xfs (rw)
/dev/sda6 on /mythbuntu type ext4 (rw,commit=0)
/dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal)
cp <at> meerkat:~$ sudo touch /media/disk/forcefsck
cp <at> meerkat:~$ sudo umount /media/disk
and reboot without the CD...

Hopefully all goes well, it will take longer than normal to boot since the fsck can take a while depending on the size of the partition(s).

If it doesn't work you will likely see some message about having to run fsck manually.  Repeat the above steps and run fsck on the partition.  In the example above I would run fsck /dev/sdb1.   

 
My first thought was it sounds like grub, the boot loader, can't find the root filesystem.  For that see:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2  

Look at the "Reinstalling Grub" and "Command line and Rescue mode" sections.  Usually the easiest way to do this is boot with a LiveCD, aka the standard Ubuntu CD you used to install it (not the alternate cd) or a USB key setup properly with the LiveCD.  Note it can be done with the alternate CD or other boot/rescue tools, but then you are limited to command line (can't open firefox to the above URL) and make sure you have the right version of grub.

I should mention a couple caveats here. grub-install -v as mentioned in the help page will tell you the version of grub on the livecd. You should be able to determine the version by looking in the logs of the install, in the above example /media/disk/var/log/apt/term* or /media/disk/var/log/installer/ ,   The page mentions "No /boot/grub/menu.lst. It has been replaced by /boot/grub/grub.cfg". They have changed the way grub works, so on an upgraded machine you may have the menu.lst file, all my 10.04 machines were upgraded and still have the menu.lst file.    

If the problem is as Mike Warfield suggested, the solution is to mount the partition(s) and use a chroot to reinstall the kernel or manually recreate initramfs.

Chuck

Eudora OSE - maybe Thunderbird - IMAP Buggy

Hello all,

I've been having various discussions on and off list about organizing 
email.  A number of you have offered suggestions, which I appreciate.  
I'm going to try to reply to some of those individually.  However, I 
wanted to pass along some test results that I got while experimenting 
with Eudora OSE, which is based on the Thunderbird codebase.

I did some testing on Eudora OSE and found that the email properties 
propagation through IMAP is buggy.  Since Eudora OSE is based on 
Thunderbird, this may affect it too.  The messages and folders do appear 
properly, and replicate to the second machine, but the message 
properties do not.

I set up a test email account on the server for my domain at 1and1.com 
and forwarded my regular messages to it.  I set up accounts on two PC's 
with Eudora OSE to log into this email by IMAP.  Then I let some 
messages accumulate.

For testing, I decided to use the Read / Unread status, the color or 
tag, and the priority.  The permutations are:
read / unread - 2 options
black / blue - 2 options (I just used one extra color for testing.)
normal / high / extra high priority - 3 options (I didn't test the two 
low priorities.)

This means there are 12 total permutations.

I went about setting 12 messages each with one of these combinations of 
features on PC 1, so every message had a different combination.  Then I 
waited to see what would happen while I observed PC 2.

The priority is not propagated across the IMAP at all, at least, with 
this email client and this email server.  The color appears to propagate 
properly to the second PC.  The read / unread status is buggy.  I 
observed several times that the messages I had marked read on PC 1 would 
spontaneously become unread again on PC 1, whereas they should have 
become read on PC 2.

So, at this point, I don't trust Eudora OSE to handle my IMAP email 
properly.  I use those features all the time to organize messages in my 
POP folders.

For the moment, I guess I'll stick to POP.  Again, thanks to all that 
provided suggestions.  By the way, the bugzilla site for Thunderbird has 
6000 bug reports.  That's kind of scary.

Sincerely,

Ron
