These <4GiB transfers sometimes take close to 3 to 4 hours using NFS, and it is a Gigabit network. rsync appeared to be a bit faster, but my goal is to find the most efficient transfer method to move lots of little -and some big - files across a local network. > > > > > Dan Mossor > > What kind of NAS is this? Are the disks in good shape? Even with 10/100, the transfer rate should be faster than DVD write speed, allowing you to burn the disc on the fly, without copying everything to the workstation first. > > Gigabit has a theoretical max of ~125MB/s. You're nowhere near that; changing the transfer protocol to gain a few percentage points on throughout is a moot question when the bottleneck is clearly somewhere else. If your workstation is a Raspberry Pi, you have probably reached it's limits and should probably consider an upgrade for any measureable performance gain. > > --Pete Oops, sorry for dragging off-list, Dan .

I've started getting lots of these in my logs: crond: pam_systemd(crond:session): Ignoring vtnr 0 for which is not seat0 pam_systemd(sshd:session): Ignoring vtnr 0 for which is not seat0 I'm sure I can just ignore them, but what the heck do they mean?

kdepim (kaddressbook and kmail) lost existing data after upgrade
by Chris Caudle 02 Mar '14

02 Mar '14

I have been using mostly webmail, but still have a lot of past email and my contacts stored locally on kdepim. I had not used the kde applications for a while, and recently noticed that my old emails and contacts no longer show up in kmail and kaddress book. There have been several updates along the way, so I am not sure when exactly my existing mail and contacts stopped showing up. I can still see the messages in my ~/Mail directory, and my contacts seem to be available as vcf files in ~/.local/share/contacts. How should I go about making the applications import or otherwise acknowledge the existing data? Any idea what changed that would make kaddressbook and kmail "forget" about the existing data? -- Chris Caudle

safe to remove DNF?
by John Aldrich 02 Mar '14

02 Mar '14

DNF keeps crashing on me, and I was going to remove it, but it wants to remove a few other things like "initial-setup" and "anaconda." I'm scared to remove those because I don't want to kill my system. Is it safe to remove all three packages on a running system???

Lost my user -
by Bob Goodwin 02 Mar '14

02 Mar '14

Much to my surprise I was unable to boot my F-20/64bit [box10] computer this morning. Booting from rescue on the install DVD shows that there is no user listed under /home. I was able to add user rfg with a password but still can't boot normally and user "rfg" is empty anyway. I can't even guess why this has happened and it looks to me like the simplest thing will be to re-install? Any suggestions before I start that process will be appreciated; I don't expect much though, Bob -- http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box7 Fedora-20/64bit Linux/XFCE

should "kill --list" actually work on my f20 system?
by Robert P. J. Day 01 Mar '14

first time i noticed this -- was demonstrating the "kill" command in a training course this week, showed "kill -l", had students check man page for "kill" which suggested that "kill --list" should also work, but: $ kill --list bash: kill: -list: invalid signal specification $ am i doing something wrong? man page also suggests: -L, --table Similar to -l, but will print signal names and their corresponding numbers. but: $ kill -L bash: kill: L: invalid signal specification $ should those work? am i missing something? is it a bug? rday p.s. the synopsis on the man page says nothing about "-L". -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
