./java: No such file or directory

After a Debian upgrade from squeeze (via wheezy) to jessie, I got the following message when I tried to start tomcat on the machine:

/vol/www/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh: 1: eval: /usr/local/java7/bin/java: not found

Fedora 23: almost no logging in journal

The upgrade

Recently I upgraded a server from Fedora 21 to Fedora 23. This was a difficult process because newer kernels (> 3.14.23-100.fc19) won’t work with the system. Finally I was able to boot the system with the old kernel, but I was not seeing any information in /var/log/maillog. Sendmail was running and I was able to send and receive messages, but nothing was written to the maillog.

When I talked to somebody in #fedora he mentioned I could do a test by running the following simple command:

logger "hello world"
This resulted in an error message:
logger: socket /dev/log: Connection refused

The situation

I still have an old 486SX25 system which I use to run multiple ssh sessions to different other systems. For instance to use IRC or view email. This way I can keep track of those things when doing things in fullscreen on my main desktop. The system started showing the following error on every virtual console:

eth0: mismatched read page pointers 4c vs ff

After a time I saw the connections to other systems fail.

FreeNAS 9.3 installation - part 1

Installation on USB-drive

I used my servers’ IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface)/BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) connection to connect the FreeNAS-9.3-CURRENT-201503130047.iso to the console and booted the system via the CDROM interface.

After the iso has booted, it displays a grub menu to boot the FreeNAS installation. When you do nothing this option is chosen by default.

Getting rid of TWSI lines in conceptronic SNAS' dmesg

The problem

When I was looking at the dmesg of a Conceptronic CH3SNAS (this is similar to a DS-323), I saw the following lines filled the dmesg.

TWSI: mvTwsiStartBitSet ERROR - Start Clear bit TimeOut .
TWSI: mvTwsiStopBitSet ERROR - Stop bit TimeOut .

I’m using fun_plug on the system to be able to do more with it, but this is also the reason the lines appear in dmesg.

A little search provide me with a forum post which explains how to get rid of these messages.
