PCI-e SSD recommendation for a F22 machine
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to use a PCI-e SSD for the root and swap partitions of a workstation running F22. I am thinking of installing F22 and my swap here -- the machine has 64GB memory. So I am considering getting a 128 GB PCI-e SSD, and leaving 96 GB for swap and 32 GB for /. /home will be on a different SATA HDD.
Do you have any suggestions and recommendations for a 128 GB PCI-e SSD?
Many thanks,
Ranjan

Hello,
What does this?
/usr/lib/udev/udisks-part-id /dev/sdd
It looks like that it is swapping for ever.

multipathd rienstated message filling up log
by Shawn Bakhtiar
Good morning,
/var/log/messages is being filled with following message "multipathd: 104:0: reinstated". I though it might be a bad controller card, or something wrong with the hardware as suggested in IRC, but I have installed FC 22 64bit on two separate machines (same configuration) and I’m getting these same message.
The messages don’t seem to be effecting performance or have any effect on data, and short of being annoying, I want to make sure there is not some more serious/heinous issue going on that I need to be aware of.
Machine Specs:
Proliant DL160 Smart Array E200 controller running RAID 1 (250GB mirrored).

Syntax error in /etc/profile?
by Tom Horsley
When I log in to my f22 box as a users that has ksh as
the shell, I see this show up on my terminal:
/etc/profile[68]: .: syntax error: `(' unexpected
Line 68 is just a line that is "dotting" various /etc/profile.d/*.sh
files, so I don't know where the actual error is coming from.
Anyone else seen this?

What is the future of pdftk as part of fedora?
It did not find any good alternative.

systemd-timesync
by Robert Moskowitz
Over on the Fedora-arm list I am looking into systemd-timesync:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd-timesyncd
So what version of systemd is in F22 and F23b?
It seems that timedatectl (which is in F22) controls this, but it is not
acting like mentioned at the above site:
The daemon saves the current clock to disk every time a new NTP sync
has been acquired, and uses this to possibly correct the system clock
early at bootup, in order to accommodate for systems that lack an RTC
such as the Raspberry Pi and embedded devices, and make sure that time
monotonically progresses on these systems, even if it is not always correct.
Every time the system (armv7 with no rtc) boots without a network
connection the date stays at 1-1-70.

selecting audio inputs with pulseaudio
by Tim
Has selecting audio inputs with pulseaudio improved any since Fedora 20?
On this machine, I can't find a way to use the line or mic input, by my
own choosing. e.g. For wanting to record something on the computer.
In the sound preferences, I have a sliding volume control next to a mic
symbol, and some kind of volume indicator below it. That, from time to
time, I find seems to pay attention to a microphone, but not always.
Under that is a box with a radio selection button for "built-in audio
analog stereo," which I presume just means the on-board sound card, or
another card (if I had one) rather than supposedly being a way to select
individual sound sources on a card.
I can play with the CLI alsamixer tool, but that seems rather hit and
miss, too, as well as being awful and extremely primitive. Not to
mention being just a two volume control for pulseaudio (master &
capture), or I can change to the "0 HDA Intel" sound card, and get a
plethora of sliders (not all of them have a corresponding socket on the
sound card, and another vague "capture" fader).
If I try using a program like audacity, I get input choices in the
program like pulse (next to useless), front mic 0, rear mic 0, line 0,
front mic 1, rear mic 1, line 1, which is a course of experimentation to
find which one might actually work, and it doesn't behave the same way
each time I use the program.
If I try using a program like skype, sometimes I can get it to pay
attention to the mike, but never to any other input source.

Moving Fedora 22 to RAID 0 - Trouble with initramfs
by Samuel Rakitničan
I have moved / partition to another partition formed in RAID 0
consisting of two SSDs. I have updated fstab with new partition UUID,
reinstalled GRUB2 and rebuild initramfs using dracut -f. Now computer
boots fine from RAID partition but hangs on when initramfs needs to
boot kernel from / partition found on RAID, because it can't find
partition with UUID that I've put in fstab.
Now from what I have understood when it drops me to dracut prompt in
initramfs boot process I indeed can't find the RAID assembled BUT I
can assemble it manually by using "mdadm -I /dev/sda" and "mdadm -I
/dev/sdb". If I boot from old hard drive the RAID is assembled
normally in kernel on boot time:
$ journalctl -b | grep "kernel: md"
Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: bind<sdb>
Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: bind<sda>
Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: bind<sdb>

Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: export_rdev(sdb)
Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: export_rdev(sda)
The RAID is formed using onboard southbridge Intel controller. I have
managed to extract data from initramfs but I am not sure what to look
for, in particular what brings up RAID assembly.
/etc/udev/rules.d/65-md-incremental-imsm.rules seems like it's
responsible to assemble, but I am not sure.
Any thoughts why imsm RAID is not assembled in initramfs on boot?
