similar to: wiping of unused space on ext3

Hello Samba Gurus I found a program that I think may be usefull if I can get it to work with Samba. I am using RedHat 6.2 and I found a program included with the PowerTools called safedelete-1.3. I read the man page for safedelete and it mentions creating a system alias "alias rm='/usr/bin/safedelete'" so when you use rm to delete a file it will get backed up to a

Hello, I converted one of my servers to ext3 and load average numbers went up. Now they are ~2-3 while on ext2 LA was <0.4. And I'm constantly seeing processes and kjournald in D state. vmstat confirms that. But even in such LA CPUs are ~99% idle. What can be wrong? RedHat 7.1 kernel 2.4.18-18.7.xsmp. SCSI cards: Compaq RAID array controller (cciss) and Q Logic ISP1020 (isp_mod).

Hello, Recently we bought HP bl35 blades with LSI Logic SAS controllers. mpt* drivers works fine but I would like to somehow view status from command line. To monitor e.g. if one of the HDDs failed. I found mptutil on LSI Logic site but it just shows me configuration in quite cryptic form. Thanks, Mindaugas

Hi, I need to securely wipe out a disk on a remote machine, but I don't have access to that machine. Therefore I cannot use the LiveCD+shred (or dd) combination. Besides manually shreding known data files, I am wondering if there is a (free) tool that can be used in my case. Thanks.

Hi, I have a dozen of drives, ranging from 10Gb to 200Gb. I want to wipe them clean before donating them. I have a IDE/SATA to USB converter that works. I can see the drives properly. DBAN does not currently support external USB drive. Any other alternatives? -- Thanks http://www.911networks.com When the network has to work

Hello, It is not total off-topic since almost all connected servers will be RHEL and CentOS. :) We are considering to purchase new storage system. The most probably we will be choosing between HP (EVA6000), EMC (CX3-20C) and Hitachi (similar model). iSCSI connection is also required. What are your experienced with listed systems? What to avoid? What ot expect? Now I just know

QUESTION: Why does my Centos 6.4 laptop keep wiping out my eth0 IP address? SUMMARY: a) I set the IP address of eth0 b) Everything works fine for 2 to 5 minutes c) Then, that eth0 IP address is (somehow?) wiped out I frustratingly repeat that abc process (over and over and over again) BACKGROUND: My home network has been working perfectly and there is no problem with my home network, nor my

Hello, What is the simpliest way to run Redhat 7.3 server as CentOS 5 domU? I see that Xen emulates Intel PIIX ATA controller for HVM domUs but latest kernel of Redhat 7.3 (2.4.20-20.7smp) has no ata_piix kernel module yet. Is it possible to download it somewhere or there is another way? :) And I'd like to avoid reinstalling them with the new OS. Preferably they'd just die their

Hello, Just became curious - is O_DIRECT already supported on ext3 or not yet? And a little bit offtopic :). Is that flag supported on some other filesystem other than ext2? Thanks, Mindaugas

Hi there, Googling through the archives it looks like I'm the ferst person to want this... My aim is to set up a voicemail application with a custom greeting before *AND AFTER* the punter has left the message. Right now the relevant section of my dialplan is like this: exten => 2,1,Playback(/media/asterisk/answerphone-en) exten => 2,n,VoiceMail(2000,s) exten =>

Hello, Anybody can advice how to pass variable between 2 Asterisk servers over IAX2? With SIP I can use SipAddHeader. How do to the same with IAX2? Thank you. Regards, Mindaugas Kezys http://www.kolmisoft.com

Hello, How to explain to fdisk that /dev/sda size changed? I increased LUN on storage, reloaded iscsi, did echo 1 > /sys/<something>/rescan. And I see in "dmesg" that kernel found new size of the LUN. But when I type "fdisk /dev/sda" it still shows old size. On /dev/sda1 sits LVM PV and I'd like to resize it instead of adding one more PV to volume group.

A couple of years ago there was a discussion on lkml under the thread 'PATCH - ext2fs privacy (i.e. secure deletion) patch' about zapping deleted data in the filesystem as a security mechanism. The discussion wandered off into how 'chattr +s' could be implemented and whether encrypting filesystems wouldn't be a better solution to the problem. I've been maintaining a

I am building a new Asterisk server here at the office, and I'm wondering if there are any downsides to creating my dialplan with AEL. It seems more intuitive (to me), but I'm not sure if there are any pitfalls I need to be aware of first. We use this for internal extensions, 8 pots lines, and our answering service which gets about 500 incoming calls a day down our T1. Also, one more

Hello, I have configured one provider in Asterisk Realtime DB without username and password, only host=<providers_IP> and ipaddress=<providers_IP> Now when I'm trying to send call using this provider I'm using following string: Dial(SIP/NUMBER at Provider) In Asterisk 1.4.15 debug I see that Realtime engine is using query: [Dec 20 00:02:15] DEBUG[14634]:

Hi I have some question about mysql realtime. 1) Anyone know exactly if there is a specific order to declare sip table column for realtime ? In which file can I find that order ? 2) In my extconfig.conf, [settings] are : sipusers => mysql,general,siptable sippeers => mysql,general,siptable so means that I use realtime dynamic exactly ? Is it normal if some parameters from sip.conf still

Hello, I have the idea brewing for some time in my mind - to build Linux based HTPC. It would be used for movies, cable (analog for now) recording, Stepmania, backup station, etc. And I would like to get some information before proceeding to estimate the cost. Which one of the Linux projects would you suggest and why? MythTV, Freevo or something else? Is CentOS good for such task or I should
