I have a usb drive, /media/disk and I want to reformat it. There are several questions that come up: How can I determine the current format? Do I use the mkfs command? Many thanks... Todd -- Ariste Software Petaluma, CA 94952 http://www.aristesoftware.com

I notice that the smartd service is not running by default on a new installation. But palimpsest seems to get updated statistics every so often as when I check the statistics on a drive it says "last updated" some number of minutes ago.

Hi All - I notice that most of the Rails team are using Mac OS X and TextMate for Ruby development. I too am working on Mac OS X and trying TextMate and (shudder?) EMacs. I was wondering about version control. Are folks using Subversion? If so, are they using a graphical client? Which one do they recommend? Yours, Jordan -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I have a 24TB RAID6 disk with a GPT partition table on it. I need to partition it into 2 partitions one of 16TB and 1 of 8TB to put ext4 filesystems on both. But I really need to do this remotely. ( if I can get to the site I could use gparted ) Now fdisk doesn't understand GPT partition tables and pat

Hi, I have two guest vm instance running CentOS 5 with ext3 partition. I will like to reduce 1 VM harddisk space and using the 'release' harddisk space to add onto my second VM.

I've got a user of my g4l project that is having a system that locks with my kernels, but also with hdt? The default versions are using the 5.10 version of syslinux, but build a special setup using 6.02 and it still locks with both the kernels and the hdt? He was able to get gparted i486 live iso to boot on the machine, so not clear what the issue might be. The system is a Fujitsu T734
