I have a recently (last Friday) updated CentOS 4.5 desktop running OOo 2.2 that, since this morning, displays OpenOffice .odt files as application:x-java-archives and has replaced the open office icon on my desktop with the java icon for these files. I have looked in both: /usr/share/mime-info/gnome-vfs.mime and /usr/share/mime-info/file-roller.mime And cannot see any reference to OpenOffice

Package: logcheck-database Version: 1.2.34 Severity: minor I have parallel port attached printer and kernel reports whenever printer is out of paper: Mar 6 12:38:50 host kernel: lp0 out of paper However, this is not a situation that should be reported by default (IMHO) by logcheck sending report email. Thus I propose adding following line to ignore.d.workstation/logcheck (possibly to .server

Package: logcheck Version: 1.2.42 Severity: minor Tags: patch Logcheck does not report any error if the config file is not readable or does not exists. This may easily happen, as logcheck is run as logcheck user and while one is testing a new configuration on live system with running configuration intact. Following fragment may help: # Now source the config file - before things that should

Hey all.. I had a bad IDE controller that hosed my EXT3 filesystems. A resulting fsck damaged pat of the filesystem and the root inode is gone (on my main drive AND the backup drive). I immediately DD'd the main drive over to an identical drive that I have been working on. But every time.. a fsck destroys all the data (moves everything to lost+found) and nothing that I've found

Hi I'm experiencing some problems on a harddisk (it has crashed for no known reason), and in pursuit of getting some of the data out of the disk I'm learning to use the e2fs progs package. Origianlly I used version 1.38, but after experiencing segfaults in e2fsck -which now is solved, I upgraded to 1.39, but now I have hit another problem (on another partition): The partition was

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [Please CC me on answers, I'm not subscribed] Hi everyone, I have got a hard disk which was damaged by a fall and would like to recover a few files from that.

Hello, We are seeing this assert once in a while on kernel 2.4.17. The problem seems to go away with fsck version 1.27 but doesnt go away with fsck version 1.22 I'd like to know if there's a known patch to fix the issue (it seems that the buffer head doesnt seem to have the bit for journalling enabled and thats why it asserts there) Under what conditions could this happen ? I am not

Hi, I tried to convert my root partition from an ext2 to ext3 fs using tune2fs. I'm running a 2.4.10 kernel with ext3 support, but the partition is not mounted ext3. In fact the journal feature is missing from the superblock: # cat /proc/filesystems | grep ext ext3 ext2 # tune2fs -l /dev/hda6 | grep features Filesystem features: filetype sparse_super # ls -l /.journal

Hi. I recently migrated two machines from ext2 to ext3. Kernels (nearly identical) are 2.4.9-ac9 + preemptivity-patch + wrr-patch. The Installations are based on Mandrake 7.2 + 8.0. Also I have e2fstools-1.23 newly compiled on them. Both machines have two ext3 partitions (root + multimedia-data). On one machine I see a .journal file on both partitions, on the other machine (Mandrake-8.0)

Hi, I installed RH 7.1/e2fsprogs 1.22 and util-linux 2.11f on a box with a 3ware 6200 and 2 20GB IDE drives and then installed 2.4.7 and ext3 0.9.5 I unmounted all the filesystems except / and did a tune2fs -i 0 -c 0 -j <device> on all the remaining filesystems This created a journal with a hidden file. >From what I recollect, doing a tune2fs on a mounted fs creates .journal file.

Hello, We found that fsync and fdatasync syscalls sometimes don't sync data in an ext3 file system under the following conditions. 1. Kernel version is 2.6.6 or later (including 2.6.8.1 and 2.6.9-rc2). 2. Ext3's journalling mode is "data=journal". 3. Create a file (whose size is 1Mbytes) and execute umount/mount. 4. lseek to a random position within the file, write 8192 bytes

Hi Shadi, I'm also using notes 5.0.12 and I've posted at May,05-2005 a message just talking about how to start Linux apps from a Windows app over/under Wine. The only problem is that I'm not using wine-20050524 ... 8-(. Instead I'm using 20040813. Follows the message. Feel free to ask me more questions and if you want I can send to you another types of scripts.

I am trying in vain to discover any way to undelete a deleted directory on a ext3 filesystem. I have followed the recommended steps of immediately unmounting the file system containing the directory and remounting it as read-only, but have no luck: debugfs indicates no deleted inodes. If there is no disk activity following the incident, how can the data disappear? Any and all suggestions would

I have been playing with external journals some more and thought I should share some experiences. I am running 2.4.16 with the ext3 patches from Andrew Morton and e2fsprogs 1.25 I have an ext3fs filesystem on an 8 drive RAID5 array and place the journal on a partition of the mirrored pair that I boot off (all drives SCSI). I have tried pulling the power cable and seeing what happens. I finally

hi, If I understand correctly, full journalling mode gives better performance for applications that do a lot of updates in O_SYNC. Could you please explain how this is possible? Doesn't full data journalling do twice as many writes as meta data journalling? han

Hi, all. I was trying to build my R package with R 2.15.1 32bit and win7. I basically follow the routine in Steven Mosher's blog http://stevemosher.wordpress.com/step-10-build/ After I fixed the path, and built the skeleton of the package, I started command prompt and used the following commands in building my package Rcmd check myPackageName Rcmd build myPackageName Rcmd check
