similar to: Disappearing directory

When a partition mounted to a shared by Samba folder is dismounted, Samba keeps sharing that empty folder. It creates a security hazard, since files can still be saved to that empty folder, and overwritten next time (lost) when the original partition is auto mounted again to the same folder. Its also confusing for most users to browse empty shares - no normal person would understand why

How do I go about troubeshooting this? I'm using RHEL 4 update 6. mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /blah busy It's actually an iSCSI LUN (NetApp filer). I successfully configured (ext3) and mounted it, but when I rebooted, the /dev/sdb1 device/partition is seen by the kernel and it shows up with "fdisk -l". Nevertheless I get that error. I've tried

Hi all, We've having an issue at the moment where an iSCSI connection was temporarily lost on a few VMs running CentOS 6 on ESXi. The problem is, now that the iSCSI connection has returned, we are not able to remount the drive. At first the drive is read-only, so I tried '*mount -o remount,rw*' which didn't work (still read-only), so then I tried a '*umount*' (which

Hi list this is actually a problem on a debian system but I thought you might be interested to hear of it and perhaps can offer some help. I have a woody box (dell pe750, dual cpu) running a kernel from backports.org (debian 'testing' packages built on a 'stable' box). The kernel version is 2.6.7-1.backports.org.1. This host is hooked up to an Apple Xserve RAID with a 2.3Tbyte

Hello If I want to manage a complete disk with btrfs, what''s the "Best Practice"? Would it be best to create the btrfs filesystem on "/dev/sdb", or would it be better to create just one partition from start to end and then do "mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdb1"? Would the same recomendation hold true, if we''re talking about huge disks, like 4TB or so?

I would like to boot Ubuntu 8.04 i386 from my USB flash drive. I was guided by this tutorial: http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/HowTos#How_to_Create_a_Bootable_USB:_For_Linux I took following steps: 1) made sure that usb_storage.ko kernel module is loaded root at martin-desktop:~# lsmod | grep -i storage usb_storage 39585 1 root at martin-desktop:~# 2) inserted USB flash

I tried to boot from my 6.0 USB key, no joy. Updated it to 6.2. Still no joy: it gets started, I do the disk layout, it formats the drives, and then fails, saying that it can't find "image# 1". Over in the log, I see a lot of it not finding any drive at all, yet all the h/d drives and sda2, which is what the USB key is, and where the linux partition is, are mounted. Guys, any idea

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have seen a weird problem in one of my clients. The reported that when issuing a smbmount command (both client and server are CentOS 4.4), it would take up to 30 second for the mount to complete. To make a long history short, by using strace and the source, I noticed smbmnt is first calling mount() using ascii options for *data. Then that would

There's a mistake in HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey , so I'd like to ask that someone fix it, or that I be given editing rights. The mistake is that in the section on CentOS 6, step 8, the correct command is "syslinux /dev/sdb1" (only). Also, although this isn't a mistake, I'd like to suggest mentioning in step 1 that the reason why part of the USB key has to be formatted

I have followed the procedure on the Centos page: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CentOS5ConvertToRAID My setup is slightly different. I am using two partitions, / and /home. I have setup swap as a file, /home/swapfile. My hard drives are 500Gig sda and sdb. In modifying the instructions for initializing sdb I have: used /dev/md0 for / (sdb1) used /dev/md1 for /home (sdb2) In section 3.6 The

Hello, on 9.1-R, I highly appreciate the new jail(8) and jail.conf capabilities. Thanks for that extension! But I have one problem: If I want to stop a jail with 'jaill -r jailname', I get "umount: unmount of /.jail.jailname failed: Device busy" It seems to me that the order of fstab.jailname entries are not reverted by jail(8) when shutting down/umounting.

Hi, I just bought a Seagate 1TB USB drive thinking that I could create a few partitions in it, format in ext3 fs, then configure bacula to setup a backup server in my CentOS box and backup my windows and mac clients. I have plugged the drive and mounted in /mnt/usbdrive and is seen as /dev/sdb1 by the OS. The output of df command is: [root at Production ~]# df Filesystem 1K-blocks

Hello. We have at the firm a Windows 2000 Domain Controler. I recently configured a linux box, configured samba and joined the Win2000 DC.

On the DC there is a logon script, that basically defines a place on the Win DC where certain programs should keep their files and maps on every client two shares, that again reside on the

Recently I've found out about rsync and wanted to use this to mirror local disks on one of my servers. I first ran Ghost for Linux to get the exact clone I was looking for, and now I'm ready to setup rsync to keep my drives mirrored on a continual basis. Here's my setup: 1 Seagate 4.6GB SCSI on /dev/sda, mounted like this: /dev/sda1 ==> /boot - 101M /dev/sda2 ==> swap - 269M

What will be the correct way to migrate ext3 to ext4 going from 5.5 to 5.6? Will something after the update ask if you want to migrate the file systems? Looking forward to some file system speed ups with large files. Thanks Jerry
