Over the weekend, I had to make a technical support call on one of my DVD burners, and at one point the recorded message mentioned I should have my serial number handy. I thought there was a way to read that from at least one piece of software on the system, but I couldn't remember one and man -k on a number of subjects was unrevealing. Can someone enlighten me (us)? Thanks. mhr

I've noticed that once I right click on my flash drive icon and umount it, in order to remount it I have to unplug it and then plug it back in. Is there a command that will accomplish the same task without the unplug and plug back in physics? Thanks. mhr

I've got a usb HD mounted, and it has been mounted since the weekend, and has been kept busy during that period. now I"m done with it an want to umount it, but neither umount nor the on-screen icon (when right-clicked) will let me do it: it is /dev/sdd1, mounted as /media/seagateusb. when root tries to umount it we get this: # umount /media/seagateusb umount: /media/seagateusb: device

I don't see any mention of this in the archives and maybe it's a stupid question but... I have a separate partition for /var and it is an ext3 partiition. When I try to reboot, /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt tries to umount all the filesystems (other than /proc, /, etc) but it fails on attempting to umount /var. I am pretty sure that this is because kjournald is using it. Does anyone have any

I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. I run CentOS 5.2 x86_64 on my workstation at home. Since 5.2 came out with nepluginwrapper bundled into it, none of my plugins work. I thought it was just a problem with the flash plugin, but neither the mplayerplug-in plugins nor the adobe acrobat reader plugin work, either. I have this problem both with the Seamonkey contributed 64-bit build

I have mounted a win98 machine from a ML8.1 samba 2.2.2 The win98 machine, as all windows machines do, crashed on me. Now i can't unmount the mounted folder, If i do it from cli, i get umount usr/Cad12: device busy. If i try and cd to that folder, the console freezes and only kill application will shut it down. I tried as su and on another Virtual console as root, but it will not umount.

I got the DKMS-system working and now have the Nvidia-drivers v173.08 installed (using rpmforge as suggested previously). Unfortunately this particular driver version gives me screen artifacts so as to make the screen more or less unreadable. Nvidia's proprietary drivers are now up to v180.44 and this version is fine with my test system. I really like the DKMS-system, as it enables me

Semi-OT? I just got a new SanDisk 8GB flash drive, and, as usual, it came with the U3 software (for Windoze) on a "CD" partition and considerably less than 8GB on the disk partition. I put it into my WinXP portable and told U3 to delete itself, but I still can't get at the old U3 part of the drive. I've tried WinXP's format command, disk management and CentOS's fdisk,

I had an interesting experience this weekend backing up some flash drives to another flash drive on my CentOS 5.2 home desktop. My son had two 256MB flash drives and one 1GB flash drive that he wanted backed up onto his newer 2GB flash drive. I used rsync to copy the two smaller ones to the big one without any trouble, but when I tried to backup the 1GB files to the 2GB drive, I started getting

I successfully created an install media on a USB flash drive, but now I have a minor problem installing from it. Whenever I run the installer, it insists on installing grub on /dev/sdb (the flash drive) rather than /dev/sda (the hard drive where I'm installing everything). Is there a way to convince the installer to put grub in the right place? Should I just tell it not to install grub and

I 'just' noticed that at some point, my USB backup drive on my server is mounted as read-only and all of my background sync cron jobs have been failing. So I need to fix this without rebooting the server. I can VNC into the server and running "mount" shows: /dev/sdc1 on /media/HD103SI type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks) and umount gets: # umount /dev/sdc1 umount:

My internet connection is through a Siemens Speedstream 4100 DSL modem connected to AT&T (sbcglobal.net), and a Dlink WBR-2310 router. Late last night, I changed the administrative password on the router, and for some reason it didn't take right, so I had to reset the router to get the password cleared. Unfortunately, this also lost all my connection settings to the DSL, and I lost the

I''m running into a situation where I can''t unmount a mounted snapshot. It shows "busy" even though neither lsof nor fuser show any open files. Umount -f doesn''t work although umount -l does. Is there anything else I can do to debug this scenario or to clear the busy status myself? Or am I down to rebooting each time? This is on stock ubuntu-10.04, x86.

Hi all, We've having an issue at the moment where an iSCSI connection was temporarily lost on a few VMs running CentOS 6 on ESXi. The problem is, now that the iSCSI connection has returned, we are not able to remount the drive. At first the drive is read-only, so I tried '*mount -o remount,rw*' which didn't work (still read-only), so then I tried a '*umount*' (which

Greetings - Ok, I made a mistake that I need to fix. Fortunately it is not a destructive mistake, but I need some advice on how to correct the problem. CentOS 6.3 host system named Earth I was creating some new logical volumes within my exiting volume group for a new virtual machine using the LVM GUI. When I created the LV that I plan to use for root partition of the new VM (Bacteria) I

I currently have my Acer Aspire One netbook set up with Fedora 11. I would like to change it over to Centos 5.4 if I can. I downloaded the Centos 5.4 i386 livecd image and made a bootable USB flash drive out of it. Unfortunately, when I boot off of that flash drive, Grub (I guess) immediately turns the screen entirely white. If I hit a key I can faintly see the outline of "Press tab to
