lvm2 & moving hd & fc4
by Monkey Pet
I have fc4 and moved my hd from one ide chain to another. However, when I
did so, the lvm2 volumes weren't being mapped properly. After a second
reboot, things mapped fine. Anyone know how I can force lvm2 to rescan
(without rebooting) in this situation? Thanks.

Before you do anything drastic, take a look at:
http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_4_installation_notes.html
http://www.fedorafaq.org/
http://www.fedoraforum.org/
http://fedora.redhat.com/
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ - there is a Newbie forum and a
Fedora forum
If you are going to partition your existing drive,

is invaluable. Note that you should do a defrag first.

It looks like the fglrx module is loaded, but no DRI.

How to handle passing filenames with spaces and wildcards into bash scripts?
by Michael Wiktowy
Greetings all,
I have done a fair amount of experimentation and Googling trying to find an
answer to this and was wondering if some of the bash-scripting gurus out
there could give me a hand.
I am trying to make a script that will accept a wildcard to match a bunch of
files and iterate over those absolute filenames; running the command once
per filename. It is fairly straight-forward to do so when the filesnames
don't have spaces but I haven't been able to find the magic combination that
doesn't treat every space as a list separator.
The closest I have gotten is to use the following script:
#!/bin/bash
find $* -print0 | xargs -0 -I % command_to_iterate_over %
If I type:
script "./path/to/filename*"
it seems to iterate over the list properly whether there are spaces in there
or not.
If I type:
script "./path/to/filename\ with\ spaces*"
or
script "./path/to/filename with spaces*"
find chops up the filename at each space and tries to find each part which
fails.
If I put quotes around the $*
find says that it cannot find ./path/to/filename\ with\ spaces*
If I replace "find $*" with "find . -name $*" that doesn't help since it
will start in the current directory (I want paths to be absolute) and won't
match since the path is not stripped out of $* and $* could have multiple
arguments.
I have failed in similar ways using both while and for loops too.
What am I missing here ... is there a better command than find to expand my
wildcard and pass them to xargs? You seem to need the null separator between
the filenames. Am I going to have to do some manual regex string parsing
(after learning how to do so) to preprocess the command line arguments? I
could probably do some crazy stuff with find, sed and grep ... I am just
checking if there is something obvious/standard that I am missing.
Does anyone have some bash magic for me that expands the wildcard and
bundles each filename in quotes to pass on to a command one at a time in a
simple manner?
Thanks in advance for any hints/help/pointers/tricks that you can provide.

RE: How to handle passing filenames with spaces and wildcards int o bash scripts?
by Styma, Robert E (Robert)
Thanks in advance for any hints/help/pointers/tricks that you can provide.
/Mike
Try using $@ in place of $*
For example, consider the script:
echo $#
echo $@
for i in "$@"
do
echo $i
done
######################
say the script was called /tmp/zzzz
run /tmp/zzzz test1 test2 "test3 test4"
$# should be 3
and the output should be
test1
test2
test3 test4
Hope this helps

Apache 1.3 compile error
by joe＠infinicityplc.com
Hi, Everyone,
I have a Fedora Core 4 installation and I'm trying to install PHP 5
statically with
Apache-1.3.34. However, after running ./configure on Apache, make fails
with the following error output:
===> src/modules/php5
make[4]: *** No rule to make target `all'. Stop.
make[3]: *** [all] Error 1
make[2]: *** [subdirs] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/apache_1.3.34/src'
make[1]: *** [build-std] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/apache_1.3.34'
make: *** [build] Error 2
PHP seems to install without a problem. I'd really appreciate it if
someone could kindly give me an idea what's happening here or what I
might be doing wrong. Thanks.
