How do I pass xargs input one line at a time to subsequent command? For example I want to install rubygems by reading a text file as shown below, however the arguments are getting passed all at once to the 'gem install' command. I hace tried -L (max-lines) and -n (max args) options, but it didn't work. What's missing here?? Any help? $ cat gem.list.1 mkrf rake xmlparser $ awk

Hi, I need to mount a LVM in rescue mode to create a new initrd image. I am not sure how do I fond out which LogVol is to be mounted. How do I find it out? In most of the configs I have used LogVol00 with ext3 filesystem which contains OS install. This particular system is not installed by me and I am not sure how do I find it out. I did try 'lvm lvs' command, but probably that's not

I am trying to mount a logical volume for creating new initrd image. The lvs command is showing a logical volume with 'd' attribute - device present without tables. It's getting listed under /dev/mapper but not under /dev/VolGroup00. Any help on what might be wrong here? -- thanks, neuby.r

Howdy, I have a diff file in my /var/tmp and would like to apply patch to a file in a different directory (other than /va/tmp). I tried using patch with -d switch, but that doesn't work.

Just came up with some interesting (read: frustrating) problems on RHEL3 and RHEL4 today at work, and I've confirmed one of the problems on my up-to-date CentOS4 system at home. I was forced into releasing some RHEL3 systems to replace our aging RH9 systems without time for adequate testing, and that leads to problems like these. On our legacy RH9 systems, mounting a USB key is no problem,

rsync'ing from NFS automounted /home directories does not appear to work as expected. Initially it automounts all the home directories, and copies the tree. However, when I run the same command a second time, it deletes all the files for with the /home directory happened to be unmounted. Some more details: Using 'ypmatch -k auto.home', I generate a list of /home/ directories to

Hi, I need to maintain a same user/group list on multiples systems. Can we just copy the same passwd and groups file on all machines? If we create a new user on one system then I will need to copy this to all other systems. This is quite cumbersome. Any suggestions? - CS.

Greetings all, I have been working with RStudio and R only for a little while. I came across a package called 'reshape' that helped me 'rename' columns. Unfortunately, my computer got hosed (too much playing with linux too late at nite) and I had to re-install everything, BUT when I tried to reinstall 'reshape' or 'reshape2' I COULDN't. Is there a way to get

I posted a previous thread about using smbmount, but I am still having some problems, using samba version 2.0.5a on SuSE 6.2. I issue the statement: smbmount //NTServer/share /mnt/test -Iaddress -Uid%pswd Afterwards, if I go to the mount directory, i.e. 'cd /mnt' and issue the command 'ls -l' I get an error message 'ls: test: Input/output error'. After that, the mount

Hi, I have a autofs configured to mount home dir from NFS. All user accounts lookup is done using LDAP. All is working fine with this setup. Now I need to create a local user account and have its home dir also on local system. So I added a new user account and changed auto.home as follows: test1 -rw,hard,intr /home/test1 * -rw,hard,intr nfs1:/export/users/& But this

Once the system gets into this state, the only remedy is a forced power-off. What seems to be happening is that an NFS filesystem that auto-mounted over a WiFi connection cannot be unmounted because the WiFi connection is enabled only for my login and gets torn down when my UID is logged off. Any suggestions on how I can configure things to avoid this? I really don't want to expose my WPA2

Samba Version 4.1.4-SerNet-RedHat-7.el6 Using RSAT via Windows 8.1 -- For a computer that is on the domain, I rename it from the client, then reboot. This renames the computer as expected. The common name in AD, however, is not affected. Is there a way to do this? Am I missing a step? Details: Using RSAT, I see the old computer name, not the new computer name. If I double click on the entity,

See Red Hat Bugzilla bug #846852 for details. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=846852 FYI: We discovered that after updating to EL 6.3 on our x86_64 server, autofs 5.0.5-54 broke our nightly backups that rely on automounting an NFS share hosted on another EL 6 machine on our local network. The machine hosting NFS server was configured to allow only TCP connections to the port

Afternoon, Are there any documented best practices for using NFS home directories on laptops? Right now, and this is on CentOS 7, when I disconnect the machine from the network, the desktop freezes, and I can't even tell if the machine switches to the wireless network. If this sort of adapter switching, which is standard in e.g. Windows 10, is even supported. Thanks for any insights.

Hello, We are using Samba 4.10.16 as a readonly file server on a linux box with SLES 12. All is working fine with our NAS NFS Shares. We are now trying to integrate new NFS Shares from an archive provider. We have some problems with samba not responding, when accessing files on these archive NFS shares.
