From: Jean-Christian de Rivaz <jc at eclis.ch> I suspect that some instructions about how to use the diag/mbr was not updated when the source file was renamed to handoff.S. Here is a simple proposition to fix that.

Long story short, my cat jumped on my server at my house crashing two drives at the same time. It was a 7 drive raidz (next time ill do raidz2). The server crashed complaining about a drive failure, so i rebooted into single user mode not realizing that two drives failed. I put in a new 500g replacement and had zfs start a replace operation which failed at about 2% because there was two broken

While iflag=count_bytes combined with bs > 1 allows for more efficient operation, it is a feature of GNU dd, and not present on other implementations such as BSD. Sticking to just POSIX features makes things more portable. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> --- docs/nbdkit-loop.pod | 2 +- docs/nbdkit.pod | 4 ++--

Howdy all, I compiled a set of kernel RPMs with the upstream kernel patch applied. Obviously they haven't gone through the full QA process, but I know of them running on approximately 50 servers without any reported issues. They're available at: http://erek.blumenthals.com/blog/2008/02/11/rhel-5-centos-5-kernel-rpms-patched-against-vmsplice-local-root-exploit/ Let me know any

Hi folks, Here''s my basic issue, hopefully this is clear. I''m trying to submit some UTF-8 values in my query string, but they are coming out mangled on the other end. It *seems* like the problem is that what Rack::Utils.unescape() pushes out gets converted to UTF-8 somewhere in the chain (using 3.0.7, and Ruby 1.9.2, by the way), and it''s mangling characters which are

Hello useRs I am trying to build a package for personal use and for making easier working with other people but I keep getting the same error message about the DESCRIPTION file not existing. when trying to install from a source tar.gz file: Error in .read_description(dfile) : file 'C:/Users/Propriétaire/AppData/Local/Temp/RtmpHFMONb/R.INSTALL647a3535/mypkg/DESCRIPTION' does not

Hi, Before switching to io mode=native, I wanted to check if there are any disadvantages or potential problem with this setting. I virtio-blk data plane required to use this setting effectively? (as illustrated here: http://blog.vmsplice.net/2013/03/new-in-qemu-14-high-performance-virtio.html) Is there a requirement on the host kernel (eg minimum version)? Thanks in advance Raph

Greetings, I have R 2.7.1 in MacOs and I believe UTF encoding is already installed.

I am trying to build a distribution without having to be root. The SYSLINUX installer typically needs root to do loopback mounting, but if you have MTOOLS, you can use that instead. This seems to work so far: #!/bin/sh # A minimal replacement for /usr/bin/syslinux; assumes that ldlinux.sys # and ldlinux.bss are available in the current directory. You must # specify locations of mkdosfs and

Here is the script I put together now. I hope I haven't overlooked anything. You might need to modify the first section of variables to suit your setup. Ofcourse you need to run this as root. May be some version of this should be included with syslinux? Basically given an existing floppy image, it creates a larger image and copies its contents over and sets up the bootsector of the

After running one too many times into “parent transid verify failed” that prevents a filesystem from being mounted, I found out how to adjust some system blocks so that the kernel could get past that check and mount the filesystem. In one case, I could get all the data I wanted from the filesystem; in another, many checksums failed and I ended up throwing it all away, so no guarrantees.

We?ve been seeing this a lot lately on generic CentOS 6 rpm installs: rpm -qa | grep libguestfs libguestfs-java-1.16.19-1.el6.x86_64 libguestfs-java-devel-1.16.19-1.el6.x86_64 libguestfs-1.16.19-1.el6.x86_64 libguestfs-tools-1.16.19-1.el6.x86_64 libguestfs-javadoc-1.16.19-1.el6.x86_64 libguestfs-devel-1.16.19-1.el6.x86_64 libguestfs-tools-c-1.16.19-1.el6.x86_64

Colleagues, I am using R to assemble RTF documents (which are plain text). I need to embed a JPEG graphic that was created with R. I presume that the steps need to be: a. read the file into R b. convert the object to HEX format c. write the converted object to a textfile. If I read the file into R using readLines, I get the following (only the first 5 lines shown): > >

Yes, these are my thoughts as well. I think the jump from GRUB to the isohybrid code on the logical partition is working fine, but when the isohybrid code is trying to jump to

The commit to isohdpfx.S of 2009-05-31 looks incomplete. The sequence of the stack pointers was swapped, but the sequence of stack pushes was not.

Using virsh edit, I made the following change to the domain XML file: <on_reboot>destroy</on_reboot> But this appears to do nothing. The VM guest is Windows 10, and when directing it to reboot, it still reboots, instead of shutting off the VM. I was trying to work around some kind of a bug, somewhere, that started happening after updating to Fedora 26 and qemu 2.9, where a
