I am running RedHat 9.0. what extra software I need to

My UPS failed and my server took an 'unscheduled outage' a few weeks ago. The only casualty appears to be a volume I used for backup. I usually maintain data on multiple hard disks, but in this case I errantly had some data (of marginal value) on this file system. At this point, the data is not worth enough for me to send the drive out for data recovery, but it's worth enough to

Hello, I noticed something unusual today. If I "du" a small file (couple of bytes) in CentOS 5, it tells me the file is using 8kb, while I was expecting 4kb which is the block size I'm using. I tried this on several CentOS 5 machines, both x86_64 and i386: $ echo test >test.txt $ ls -l test.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 filbranden filbranden 5 Mar 11 17:24 test.txt $ du -h test.txt 8.0K

Hello all, I am trying to replace grub with extlinux without any luck. I did remove the grub from my root Partition and boot from a LiveCD. I install syslinux and did those steps Boot Partition: mkdir -pv /mnt/sda1 mke2fs -jv /dev/hda1 mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hda1 mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/sda1 Root Partition export SDB1=/mnt/sdb1 mkdir -pv $SDB1

Hi, I accidentally issued "mkswap" on a used ext3 fs partition (~30G) :-/ I have analyzed the behaviour of mkswap using two test files and it appears to only change "some" bytes: --8<-- --- swap2.xxd 2005-07-04 21:00:10.157261360 +0200 +++ swap1.xxd 2005-07-04 21:00:01.894517488 +0200 @@ -62,7 +62,7 @@ 00003d0: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................

Here is the initial release: git://github.com/donhiatt/Syslinux-EXT2FS-Library-port.git I am very new to git so I hope I managed to get the repo setup properly. The repo is branched from 'disklib' as I plan to use it for all disk read/write access (I'm currently using modified gpllib/disk/* -- see README). Cheers, don ----- README for ext2fs module. * Description -----------

If unicorn doesn''t get terminated cleanly (for example if the machine has its power interrupted) and the pid in the pidfile gets used by another process, the current unicorn code will exit and not start a server. This tiny patch fixes that behaviour. --- lib/unicorn/http_server.rb | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/lib/unicorn/http_server.rb

Hello. I am trying to create a text file that contains an accent like '?' in it's filename on a vfat filesystem. This generates an error like the following: "test?.txt" E212: Can't open file for writing I have made a 'modprobe nls_cp850' and 'modprobe nls_iso8859-1' to load those needed modules. Then I mounted my FAT32 partition like this: mount -t

Hi Dears, I am having trouble mounting a partition with UFS file system (FreeBSD), I am trying to build with the following commands: mount-r-t-o ufs ufstype = ufs2 / dev/hdb1 / part mount-r-t-o ufs ufstype = 44bsd / dev/hdb1 / part But appears the following error message: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on / dev/hdb1, missing codepage or other error In some

Hi all. I currently have a problem. I try to make a backup of a running / filesystem to a second disc. I've read tha some people use rsync for it. I mount the second harddisc at /mnt/hdb1 and issue a command: rsync -vaHx --progress --numeric-ids --delete \ --exclude-from=asylum_backup.excludes --delete-excluded \ / /mnt/hdb1 Then I shutdown the system, remove the first disc and try

Hi All, Running Samba on a Fedora 4 machine in a mixed home environment.

Hi users, I was working with GNU parted and got some changes in the partition and the system crashed. I had to freshly install RH Linux 9 again as it didn't detect the linux installation.

Centos 5.1 documentation states that the supported ext3 filesystem limit is 16TB, yet I have a 9.5TB partition that is claimed to be too large: mke2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006) mke2fs: Filesystem too large. No more than 2**31-1 blocks (8TB using a blocksize of 4k) are currently supported. Am I missing something? > uname -a Linux fileserver.sharcnet.ca 2.6.18-53.1.6.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jan

Hi, I am a new ext3 user and I am having problems similar to what many people are facing on this list. I have done everything as the emails suggest. I am using SuSE 7.3 with the the 2.4.10 kernel and ext3 compiled as a module. Because it is 2.4.10 kernel, I created all my journals from a rescue disk and everything seems to be working right for the non-root filesystems. My fstab has all my

Hello, I had a scientific linux 3.0.4 system (rhel compatible), with 3 ide disks, one for / and two others in linear raid (250 gb and 300 gb each). This system was obsoleted so i move the raid disks to a new scientific linux 3.0.7 installation. However, the raid array was not detected ( I put the disks on the same channels and same master/lsave setup as in the previous setup). In fact

I was just pondering: Lets look at Server A with one extra harddisc hdb, where hdb1 is mounted at /mnt/folder. /mnt/folder is the folder which should be mirrored on Server B. So Server B rsyncs rsynch -a -delete server::folder /folder from Server A and gets all the new files and deletes all the files, which doesn't exist on Server A's /mnt/folder anymore. What would happen,

I'm probably missing something very simple.

Hi, I'm trying to copy my CentOS install to a new drive. - old drive is /dev/hda and had hda1 : /boot hda2 : swap hda3 lvm hda5 : lvm hda4 : /usr/local - new drive is /dev/hdb hdb1 : /boot hdb2 : swap hdb3 : / I decided to get rid of lvm which is useless to me. I've created and formated the new partitions and copied anything from the old drive to the new one

Hi there, Is there a utility to create an EXT3 file system image from directories? Just like the mkfs.jffs2 which creates a JFFS2 file system image from directories? The "mke2fs -j" only creates the bare bone file system, what I want is to build an image with pre-built content. Thanks, Debbie

Dear All I am attempting some power analyses, based on simulated data. My experimental set up is thus: Bleach: main effect, three levels (control, med, high), Fixed. Temp: main effect, two levels (cold, hot), Fixed. Main effect interactions, six levels (fixed) For each main-effect combination I have three replicates. Within each replicate I can take varying numbers of measurements (response
