Re: Fewer partitions are better (Re: Disk Layout/Partitioning Practices)

You are requesting about Logical Volume Manager ( LVM ) Exist in Linux, runs very well ( My laptop runs with LVM ) :D Note: "Windows 2000 can do something similar, can Linux do this?" I prefer to say: "HP-UX, AIX, Tru64 can do something similar when I was a child, can Linux do this?" ;) David Ballester Montolio Responsable de Sistemas y Comunicaciones Kern Pharma, S.L. www.kernpharma.com GNU! |---------+------------------------------> | | Fritz Whittington | | | <f.whittington(a)att.| | | net> | | | Enviado por: | | | fedora-list-admin@r| | | edhat.com | | | | | | | | | 30/01/2004 20:55 | | | Por favor, responda| | | a fedora-list | | | | |---------+------------------------------> >-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | Para: fedora-list(a)redhat.com | | cc: | | Asunto: Re: Fewer partitions are better (Re: Disk Layout/Partitioning Practices) | >-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| <snip> On a related issue, is it possible to combine several drives/partitions into one logical Linux file system? In other words, if I have 3 hard drives, I might want to use one partition on hda for /boot, another partition on hdb for /swap, and use all remaining space on all other drives/partitions as the root fs. -- Fritz Whittington "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.

usb-storage
by Andrew Becker 02 Feb '04

02 Feb '04

I have a Freecom FS-1 USB CDRW device. When I forst plug the device in it does not work. I do an lsmod and all the modules are loaded i.e. sd_mod scsi_mod usb* (including usb-storage) etc.. However, if I do: rmmod usb-storage insmod usb-storage then it works. Anyone encountered behaviour like this before / know a fix to automate the process?

Re: Bootup console screen size problem

Should I be changing that to what you gave above? That's what I did (replace the existing line). If you look in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, you'll see where it sets the console font to the value of SYSFONT. That's the point during bootup at which you're seeing the font change back to the bigger size.

Metacity vs. Enlightenment as window manager
by Jim Cornette 01 Feb '04

01 Feb '04

Thanks those that were talking about switching windows managers from Metacity to something else. The preferences --> more preferences --> sessions location was pretty much M$ish. Enlightenment as the window manager seems to be a little crisper for video clarity. Metacity seems a little bit fuzzy compared to the alternative. I loaded /usr/bin/enlightenment as task 1. What should be the order for the windows manager. I guessed it should be first. Thanks, Jim

idle HD spin down standby/sleep, laptop mode?? (seagate 7200.7)
by Kevin Bowen 01 Feb '04

01 Feb '04

I'm trying to get fedora to spin down my primary drive when idle, but I can't seem to get it to go into standby mode. When I use hdparm to put it into 'sleep' mode, it does sleep very briefly, waking up after a few seconds. When I use standby mode (either forced or with an -S idle time auto-standby) it doesn't seem to ever enter standby at all. I'm not exactly clear on how the new "laptop mode" works into this, but I have tried it both with and without this mode enabled (including running the laptop-mode.sh script) with no apparent change in behavior. My drive is a serial ATA seagate 7200.7, running on a SATA raid card (not using any raid features) - might this be the source of the problem? Any ideas appreciated kevin(a)ucsd.edu

Problems with apache+subversion
by Todd A. Jacobs 01 Feb '04

01 Feb '04

I allowed yum to install mod_dav_svn, and now get the following error when trying to start apache: Feb 1 16:27:44 gateway httpd: Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/mod_dav_svn.so into server: /etc/httpd/modules/mod_dav_svn.so: undefined symbol: dav_xml_get_cdata Feb 1 16:27:44 gateway httpd: httpd startup failed Commenting out everything in /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf allows Apache to run, but obviously without support for Subversion. Any suggestions? -- Todd's "Customer Disservice Hall of Shame" currently contains: - Charter Communications: Mislead their customers about service levels, block normal Internet connectivity, and exhibit excessive downtime. - AT&T: Honoring the "checks" they send out to entice you to switch long-distance providers is apparently optional. - eFax: Receive (not send) 20 pages of *unsolicited* faxes, and lose your account.

pos and db for retail on fedora
by des1gner＠optusnet.com.au 01 Feb '04

01 Feb '04

Hi I work in a very small specialist record shop here, and am considering trying to make a server and machine for the shop which tracks sales and inventory. Linux is perfect in the respect that I enjoy using it and it fits the bill in so many ways: cost, stability, our (his and my) particular shared stance on expensive proprietary computing. The owner has given me the go-ahead to try something, but I have no idea where to start. I would like to use Fedora because it is what I am most familiar with (RH 7.0 was my first distro, I use FC1 now). Does anyone have any recommendations on where to start? Easy is better than 'the best' I am mainly a musician and audio engineer, and am not familiar with MySQL and php and the like...although it seems I might have a crash course in the near future. Thanks in advance for any advice you may provide.

IPTABLES doesn't work
by smoothmilk 01 Feb '04

01 Feb '04

Why doesn't redhat-config-securitylevel's iptables rules work? If I turn off EVERYTHING (www, ftp, ssh, etc) and save, and even manually restart iptables (# /sbin/service iptables restart) other computers on my network can access www (even on weird, non-standard ports with http servers on them) ftp, ssh, etc. So whats the point of even including that tool if it doesn't do anything? I dont understand how it just flat out doesn't work. I have no idea how iptables works, and because there's no documentation out there for beginners who just want a script that's for eth0 with a simple www, ssh and ftp server(s), Im stuck using rh's tools, which don't do anything. there's no security here. Can anyone help?
