I recently moved my vmware datastore from a local disk partition to an NFS share (in preparation for some other system changes that are still in progress). In the init sequence, vmware loads before the NFS share gets mounted, so it checks the datastore, and finds it empty. Makes it hard to start a VM. :( As a temporary fix, I added the line service vmware restart to rc.local, but I consider

Can someone please clarify the status of minimal install images of Centos 5 for VMware? I see the work that 'tru' did, but it is still at 5 (not 5.1). Is that the best image available (just run yum update), or what about the minimal image listed on the VMware Virtual Appliance site? Ted Miller Indiana, USA

I run VMWare server 1.07 on Centos 5. Last night I left a Windows 2000 virtual machine doing a ClamWin scan of drive M: when I went to bed around midnight. Drive M: is actually a volume on the Centos 5 host, mounted via Samba. It has about 40Gb of photos on it, plus a few other things. I had the VM up visible in the VMWare Server Console running under KDE on display 8 (X session #1), my

I wish to change the ownership and access permissions of files and directories contained on this device. The device is immediately recognized and mounted when plugged in and I can create and move files on it. However, I cannot change either the permissions or the owner of any file or directory on this device, nor of the device mount itself, whether logged in as the owner or as root. Why is this

I am fairly sure that I had gotten this to work before, and I know that the Centos4-live disk worked OK, but now (maybe since I upgraded BIOS) I get this sequence after booting the live cd: Creating /var in RAM ... Done Found Centos-live.sqfs but couldn't mount it: Linking /usr to /centos-live/usr /linuxrc: 1208: [: not found Freeing unused kernel memory: 296K freed Write protecting the

Here comes a newbie question... I just installed Samba on my Karmic box and I am trying to share a USB drive that has been mounted to /media/Personal1. It's not working now even though I see it as a listed share. So I went through the 'Samba Checklist'. The tmp share worked immediately, which leads me to think that this has something to do with the ownership and permissions on the

I ran across this and glad I did...saved my .10 worth of sanity I got left: It came from: http://kb.vmware.com/KanisaPlatform/Publishing/612/774_f.SAL_Public.html Guest Cannot See USB Device on RHEL4-x64 Host This problem was identified on VMware Server, but may affect other VMware products. When you connect a USB device to a host running the RHEL4-x64 operating system, then try to access

I finally got 5.1 to boot after install (install couldn't keep the disk IDs from getting crossed up, so at reboot partitions were not where install said they would be). I needed to compile vmware and nvidia modules, but decided to upgrade first. Told yumex to upgrade everything. When I went to reboot the VG with / on it is not seen by the kernel. (root partition is LVM on top of RAID

Is there a file system + configuration that will let me share a directory, and anyone who has access to something in that directory on the server will also have access (and lack of access) to the same files from the client? Clients will be Centos5, Win2K, WinXP. Server is Centos5. To put it another way, all users have accounts on the server. I don't want to have to set up ANY user

Samba 2.0.0 on Solaris 2.5/sparc 14,000 users (samba released to small group, but intend to release to all) My apologies if this is a FAQ: point me in the right direction! When editing a WORD document (or Excel, and probably others), the revised file written back to the UNIX home directory loses its original ownership, group-ownership and permissions (modes) and gets a default set (me, my

I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Is there a way to setup samba to pretty much ignore file permissions, but allow the write list of users to modify files in shares? The problem I have, is users need permission through samba to modify web pages, but they need to NOT have permission when they FTP in or through shell. -- Northern Indiana ESC Adam Kennedy - akennedy@niesc.k12.in.us

I am new to Linux, Ubuntu, WIne etc but despite all that I am operating in Ubuntu 8.10, with MapSource 6.13.6 installed via Wine 1.0.1. I know there is an issue in getting MapSource to recognize the GPS while connected via USB but I am unable to understand the steps provided to solve this issue. I've been advised to enter "sudo modprobe garmin_gps" in terminal and to check the

Hey guys, /dev/kvm permissions and ownership keeps reverting after starting a vm. The ownership and permissions keep going back to crw-rw—— root root .... After starting a vm. I have to revert the perms and ownership to: crw-crw-crw root kvm .... To start any vm but it goes back to the first set of permissions as soon as I start another vm. Wondering what could be doing this? Cheers, Tom

Time Machine will enable ownership on the drive the first time it starts up. The first thing it does when it creates the backup directory is to enable ownership on the drive. I've seen this happen repeatedly (it's actually the easiest way I know of to enable ownership on drive).

G'day, I'm in the process of fixing a long broken rsync backup on a couple of servers. The old system rsync'd a Linux (CentOS 5) server onto a Opensolaris/OpenIndiana server but didn't worry about ownership or permissions, across an expensive WAN link. All the ownerships and permissions are different to the original box on the OI box. I now have a virtual CentOS 5 box that I
