I put a new server together with CentOS 4. This server is doing a number of functions including ntp, mail, and web server. I had a USB drive plugged in and it was working great. I could access it at /media/usbdisk and I copied lots of data to it. I felt the server was "complete" so I wanted to move it. I shut it down, moved it, etc. Everything is ok, except that I cannot access the

I'm using a comand like rsync -av directory /media/usbdisk/ to backup to a usb device (on a Fedora 5 machine). I'm getting 100s of messages like rsync: chgrp "/media/usbdisk/file" failed: Operation not permitted (1) and then at the end rsync error: some files could not be transferred. How do I fix this? Why is rsync trying to change the group? And is the message at

Hi, is there anybody understanding HAL? I use CentOS 4 (RHEL 4) I need set specific mount options for USB flash disk. I found I can do it in /usr/share/hal/fdi/95userpolicy/storage-policy.fdi <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><!-- -*- SGML -*- --> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="volume.fstype"

Hii All, I'm really a linux newbie, I managed to run into a problem with rsync. I want to conduct backups of various files and directories over about miles of Internet, so I chose ssh and rsync for the job. Earlier it used to work fine, but suddenly donno what happened it started to show the following errors sync: mkstemp

I have a USB disk and when I turned it on in the past, it's icon would appear on my GUI Desktop. Now it is no longer visible. In terminal mode, if I do a cd to /media/usbdisk, all of my data is there. What am I missing here? Todd -- Ariste Software 2200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

My USB Pendrive gets mounted everytime I put it on the USB port (/dev/sda on /media/usbdisk). This behaviour is the desired. Now I want the OS to automaticaly include the mount option iocharset=iso8859-1 everytime it mounts it. Is there a way to tell haldaemon (or other software) do this, instead of hand-editing /etc/fstab ? -- Vilela -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment

I want to be able to make a USBbootStik for my laptop, as I repeatedly did for the now stolen PC. I've got a copy of the required 2009, Slackware13 partition, saved to a USBdisk. And I've located the 175-line: <make bootStik script> . Of course just "chroot"ing Slak13, won't allow <make bootStik>. But why can't someone here, provide the info to make an

Hello. I use Centos 4.1 When I inserted my usb 2.0 disk for the first time it created the mount point /media/usbdisk just fine. Which I used to mount the disk. But as soon as I used it in another computer (winxp) when I took the usb back to centos the mount point had become /media/IOMEGA (yeah it's an iomega driver) but then as time goes by, the mount point every time the disk is used

Recently, I was able to create a workable Centos 4.4 "Live USB" on my 1G Lexar Firefly pendrive using the steps in http://linux.web.psi.ch/livecd/usbdisk.html. At the moment, it is doing its job, so I probably won't focus too much more on it. One thing that is annoying, although doesn't cause a problem is that on powerdown and reboot, the cd rom drive ejects - of course, there

Hi, I am trying to create an image that is larger than 1.44MB to be used with PXE boot (Ghost 8 requires 2 floppys). My current attempts result in the boot hanging at : Loading boot sector... booting... Starting... My config just says the following: default memdisk append initrd=smalldos.img I created the image following http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2005-August/005573.html (I am unsure

I have an external USB drive, and when mounted, it was /media/usbdisk. When I recently tried my rsync backup, a usbdisk1 had been created...I guess by the auto-mounting (when the disk is turned on). Is there a way to remove the usbdisk1 and set it up so that the auto-mounting will use usbdisk? Or should I just leave it be? I needed to change my command line for the rsync backup to

I recognize hardware with Lua and execute the ESXi installer with configuration files for that hardware. This works fine with normal Syslinux boot, but I want to get it working for UEFI boot as well. I found?efi64/efi/syslinux.efi and efi32/efi/syslinux.efi in the installer source, copied them and named them respectively?BOOTX64.EFI and?BOOTIA32.EFI in USBDISK:\EFI\BOOT. These were also the

In the last two weeks or so, after years of no problems with Samba printing from Windows machines in our office, we suddenly started having problems with very slow printing. So far, I have resolved this to two different situations. In Windows XP, if you would give the netbios name of the server and printer, as \\SERVERNAME\printername to connect to a network printer on Samba, it would hang

Hello dear list! Just wanted to tell you that there's a simple and somehow smart backup solution using rsync named ccollect [0]. It uses the hardlink feature of rsync to create fullbackups with only minor size differences (it uesd cp -al and pax before). I would be happy for any critic about the software, the documentation the configuration style (cconfig [1]) and the idea itself. Sincerly

I have a usb.img file, and i want to create a usbdisk(USB emulation) for vpc in a kvm server. I found something like this: qemu-system-x86_64 -device piix3-usb-uhci \ -drive id=my_usb_disk,file=usbdisk.img,if=none \ -device usb-storage,drive=my_usb_disk but i want to do it in a xml files for libvirt. i did not find any example for it. how can i do it thank u very much.

I gave extlinux a whirl, 1. installed debian onto a usb hard drive from laptop (onto /dev/sda1) did *not* install grub or lilo. 2. set up extlinux on /dev/sda # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/t1 [root at harpo syslinux-3.00]# cd /mnt/t1/ [root at harpo t1]# ls boot/ config-2.6.8-1-386 initrd.img-2.6.8-1-386 System.map-2.6.8-1-386 vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-386 [root at harpo t1]# mkdir boot/extlinux [root

I''ve pared my rjs experiment down to what seems a bare minimum. When I click on my link_to_remote, the rjs executes, returns the correct javascript to the browser, but it doesn''t update the div I''ve specified. What appears to be coming back from the controller is: Element.update("my_form", "hello, rjs"); I''m tearing my hair out.

Hello, I am using rsync v2.5.6 to backup our entire server filesystem over the network to a central backup server. I have copied the example script from the rsync website (http://rsync.samba.org/examples.html) to create incremental backups, the --backup-dir seems to have a strange side-effect. Everything goes well, but on the server side where the backup is stored I can't seem to break out
