Resurrect my old ide disk

I've got the problem with my old ide harddrive fews day ago. At last i found that it's ide cable is bad and that destroy the partition table. Anyway today after recover and backup the files, I create new partition table with fdisk and here is the new table.
Disk /dev/hda: 60.0 GB, 60022480896 bytes
16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 116301 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes

  Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1               1       58130    29297488+   7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2           58131      116301    29318184   83  Linux
50/50 ntfs and ext3 should be fair :). After repartition, Ubuntu know only hda1 as 10GB partition[my old config]. what i forget? May be need to fotmat it first. I'm not sure how to format ntfs partition in ubuntu so i reboot to winxp, format it then turn back to ubuntu again. Now I format hda2 like this. 
pnix@pnix-a7n:~$ sudo mke2fs -j /dev/hda2
mke2fs 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
Filesystem label=
OS type: Linux
Block size=4096 (log=2)
Fragment size=4096 (log=2)
3670016 inodes, 7329546 blocks
366477 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user
First data block=0
Maximum filesystem blocks=0
224 block groups
32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group
16384 inodes per group
Superblock backups stored on blocks:
       32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632, 2654208,
       4096000

Writing inode tables: done                           
Creating journal (32768 blocks): done
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done

This filesystem will be automatically checked every 33 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first.  Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
pnix@pnix-a7n:~$
Last thing add 2 new partition to fstab to let it automount.First create mount point with 'sudo mkdir /media/hda2'[hda1 already exist] then find the uuid and edit /etc/fstab like this.
# /dev/hda1
UUID=9EF07DDDF07DBBD9 /media/hda1     ntfs    defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0       1
# /dev/hda2
UUID=30bf1301-3dbd-47f0-b80e-b68047358a53 /media/hda2     ext3    defaults 0       1
After reboot hda2 is mounted but no write permission for me, still has other thing to fix. I follow this guide and run command below 
pnix@pnix-a7n:~$ sudo chgrp plugdev /media/hda2
pnix@pnix-a7n:~$ sudo chmod g+w /media/hda2
pnix@pnix-a7n:~$ sudo chmod +t /media/hda2
to change group, add write permission and sticky bit. And that it my old ide disk is come back and ready for command.

note: "chmod +t" adds the sticky bit, so that people can only delete their own files and sub-directories in a directory

Fixing sendmail take a long time to start

I notice that my database box[FC6+Oracle10.2] take along time to startup. Sendmail and sm-client very very slow to start[ about 5 minutes ]. There's something wrong in /etc/hosts file. 'newalises' command take long time to update and finish with error below.

Too many open files

Last week tomcat log file report many error about "Too many open files" when it has high traffic. Some in catalina_log say 2007-04-07 16:13:40 HttpProcessor[80][272] Starting background thread 2007-04-07 16:13:40 HttpConnector[80] accept: java.net.SocketException: Too many open files and here is from localhost_log 2007-04-07 16:13:40 StandardWrapperValve[myservlet]: Servlet.service() for servlet myservlet threw exception java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/log/mylog_070407.log (Too many open files) This is because too many file descriptors're opened by tomcat. File descriptor can be limited in both system level and shell level. To check maximum number of fd in system type 'cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max'. In my case it is 65536(someone said it should set to 200000). Tomcat error when try to open socket number 272 so I think 65536 is ok for me for now. Anyway if u want to set it add 'fs.file-max = 200000' to /etc/sysctl.conf pnix@pnix-a7:~$ cat /proc/sys/fs/fil...
