Hi, i too played with mkdiskimage in order to get more Linux examples. When i applied it to a real 2 GB stick with write speed 4 MB/s i had enough time to add some pacifier code to the big zeroizer loop. (-s does not prevent zeroizing on block device. Probably because truncate() fails.) My pacifier is combined with what Perl advised me when i tried "fsync(OUTPUT);". Of course this slows down operation on regular files substantially. But otherwise there is...

Perhaps it could be useful to base it on the syslinux4-xx branch: http://git.zytor.com/?p=syslinux/syslinux.git;a=tree;h=refs/heads/sysl inux-4.xx;hb=syslinux-4.xx http://git.zytor.com/?p=syslinux/syslinux.git;a=blob_plain;f=utils/mkd

But a left over backup GPT at the end of a "disk" (hard disk, thumb drive, SSD, eMMC) now confuses some UEFI

But indeed: -s should skip zeroizing,

...:) I have also slotted some hacking time to figure out where in the test harness the thing is exploding. Unfortunately, unlike the explosion that GCC's failure gives, the LLVM-GCC version explodes so thoroughly that it doesn't print out any kind of error message. All I get is a bunch of pacifier dots on the screen as one test after another is run (there are thousands) and then that message. It will take me a while to figure out where the error is happening. (Binary search for the win!) Once I have it narrowed down to one specific test, I will update the bug report with the steps requi...

I am surprised the security minded haven't gone bonkers over this. I wonder what reason(s) keep them pacified? I still don't understand why removing a user from group does not take effect until a new process starts BUT ADDING a user to the group takes effect immediately. Isn't this inconsistent with the "no dynamic updates to running processes" idea? Thanks again, Chad.

Hi, I''m trying to be really, really sure that a specific service is not running. The central part of this looks like that: service { ''foo'': ensure => stopped, enable => false } -> package { ''foo'': ensure => purged } The astute reader will notice that on the second run puppet will complain that the init script for foo is

I just installed SuSE 7.3 linux including the supplied wine distro. I'm trying to run a single board computer from Zworld called the Rabbit. The specific app name is dcrab619.exe. The gui comes up with no problem but when it tries to talk to the serial port I get these messages from wine: err:string:CompareStringA (s1=(null),s2=""...): Invalide NULL string
