[Fwd: Fedora 4 maxtor 160Gb 30 gb missing;]
by Mirco Scara
I ran /sbin/mke2fs -m /dev/hda1 and this is the output I got:
[root@localhost mirco]# /sbin/mke2fs -m /dev/hda1
mke2fs: invalid reserved blocks percent - /dev/hda1
What does that mean?

That's it? Just don't format /home, but format all other partitions?
(Could I perhaps get away without formatting /var/lib, if I break that
off as separate? I keep databases and home-built yum repos there.)
Can I manage that if I use Logical Volume Management?
And once I do that: do I then have to re-establish all user accounts in
the order in which I created them to begin with?

[Fwd: [Fwd: Fedora 4 maxtor 160Gb 30 gb missing;]]
by Mirco Scara
I checked with Dell specifications For mu Optiplex GX270 and found out
that my motherboard supports hard disk of 160Gb capacity.
This way I managed to exclude a motherboard/bios problem preventing the
complete reading of the drive.
The problem is most certainly then with the operating system not
supporting this drive fully.
One question: Am I likely to incur any data loss or other problems if I
leave the hard disk recognized as 130GB as it is?
Thanks

Maillog: waisted bytes?
by Andy Pieters
Hi List
I have been wondering for what purpose the maillog is sent to me on a daily
bases.
Basically I get 10mb of this
Oct 27 04:04:08 giga sendmail[13964]: j9R248Rm013964: from=root, size=56216,
class=0, nrcpts=1,
msgid=<200510270204.j9R248Rm013964(a)terra.vlaamse-kern.com>,
relay=root@localhost
Oct 27 04:04:08 giga sendmail[13972]: j9R248gd013972: from=root, size=1732,
class=0, nrcpts=1,
msgid=<200510270204.j9R248gd013972(a)terra.vlaamse-kern.com>,
relay=root@localhost
So what's the point of that?
With kind regards
Andy

OT: Dovecot+OE+mbox+subfolders
by Mike McMullen
Hi All,
I have a dovecot IMAP installation that uses mbox because of a migration
from UW-IMAP about a year ago. I now have users requesting the ability
to create subfolders on the dovecot server.
In OE when they go to do this on the dovecot imap server, the "New Folder" popup
has the OK option greyed out. So they can't create the subfolder. Is this a limitation
of OE or the mbox format in dovecot? OE is the default mail client they use.
If it is in the mbox format and I try to convert to maildir, are there tools to migrate
mbox format folders to maildir? and how do we migrate the procmail recipes we
have? Is it possible to train spamassassin from maildir format?
TIA,
Mike

RE: Smartd message: What does it mean?
by Dan Thurman
I have my suspicions because I did not have
a problem with my HD in FC2 and I just recently
updated to FC4 as of today. I suspect that smartd
is actually just being stupid. hehe.

Overhere are running for 2+ years. Both WD's. one is a 40Gb and the other
one is a 120Gb.
The bad sector started after 1 week after installation.
On the 40gb hdd it is sector 65 and on the 120Gb it is sector 1.

Hmm it would be also better (just my mind) if the fs cant read a (bad)
sector for many times then it just skip reading from it :)
And why it is reading it, because some data wants read data that still is on
that bad sector. The question, how to find out what data is reading data
from the bad sector and then you can lets say delete a xxx.conf and replace
it with a new one. Then the bad sector wil not used anymore :) But in my
life time i never saw a reporting tool: "Hey Mr root, samba tries to read
smb.conf but its on a not readable sector reported by smartd. delete the
smb.conf, and create a new one so i can skip reading that sector forever"
hehe

p.s. i go to bed. sleep well or have a nice day.

Abuse by Dod?
by Dan Thurman
Errg... I installed Firestarter on FC4 and was wondering
why my HD and network was thrashing around and checking the
active connection page revealed:
Source-----------------Destination-----------------Port------Service-----Program
207.132.177.100 [my FC4 IP address] 443 HTTPS python
I stopped this "attack" by disabling HTTPS protocol in the policy
tab and that stopped the attack. Geez, now what do I do to stop
whomeever is doing it so that my HTTPS is available?
I tracked the network owner and fired off an abuse complaint
to: abuse(a)nic.mil but like this is gonna work. Hmm.... maybe
the Homeland Security is gonna come after me... heh heh.
Does anyone care to know what is going on?

link to page on required services
by David Niemi
A few weeks ago someone posted a link to a page explaining many of the
services running on FC4 and which were required or not. I thought I
kept it but can't find it on my machine or through searching the
archives or google.
Can someone please forward it if they kept it?
Thanks
