I notice that the smartd service is not running by default on a new installation. But palimpsest seems to get updated statistics every so often as when I check the statistics on a drive it says "last updated" some number of minutes ago. So if smartd isn't running, where does palimpsest get its information from and what is updating it? Second question, what would enabling the sm...

Windows (both XP and 98) seems to have a problem with our GUI, written using R's tcl/tk package. When we open another window, and then return to the GUI, the GUI has old pieces of text left from the previous windows and/or places which are cut off where a window had been. Also, when it computes something, the window will often decide to move itself over for no apparent reason, so it moves

Whenever I format a flash drive I'm always terrified that I'm going to fat-finger something in the terminal and accidentally blow away a partition on one of my hard drives. *shudder* Is gparted the best gui to handle this task? Or is there something better? I'd really prefer something more limited that just allows me to select whatever it sees as a removable drive and disallows any

I have a usb drive, /media/disk and I want to reformat it. There are several questions that come up: How can I determine the current format? Do I use the mkfs command? Many thanks... Todd -- Ariste Software Petaluma, CA 94952 http://www.aristesoftware.com

In CentOS 7 under the default GNOME desktop, Applications->Utilities->Disks I forget where palimpsest gets put on CentOS 6, sorry. This is actually a pretty good tool for most purposes. It doesn't allow some relatively arcane operations, but basic formatting it does very well (it's especially weak on LVM operations, at least that's what I've experienced thus far, but I always r...

Hi All. Yesterday I was installing Centos 5.5 to my web server, and it looks like the main hard drive has gone AWOL. Fedora 12 put the file system into r/o mode.

Would this be caused by a faulty I/O chip, or is it safe to say
