transfer data from one hard drive to another
by Joseph Cheng 11 Oct '06

11 Oct '06

Hello I have an OS installation and data on a 40 gb drive that I would like to image to a 80 gb drive. I don't care if the resulting partition layout on the new drive is only 40 gb making me lose space. I just want to move everything from the older drive because I think it's failing. I have looked at partimage and mondo rescue as imaging solutions but both deal with partitions. CAn someone plz point me to a howto that shows how to image the entire drive incuding mbr, partiton table and data all with one program? I am hoping to boot with a CD to do this while having both drives plugged in. So I think something like knoppix? TIA!

Server hangs initializing audio
by Bowie Bailey 11 Oct '06

11 Oct '06

I have a server that frequently hangs while rebooting. I see no errors, but during the boot process it stops at this stage: Initializing hardware... storage network audio The cursor sits just after the word "audio" and I have to do a hard reset to get out of it. This server has no audio capabilities, so I am thinking that I just need to disable the audio stuff so it doesn't even try to load it, but I don't know where to look. -- Bowie

I saw that kudzu detects new hardware, but I wasn't sure if it was also doing the initialization. -- Bowie

What motherboard is it? Maybe you > need to install an audio card. :) The motherboard is a Tyan Thunder K8HM. It's a dual-Opteron server board. Just what I want to do... add an audio card to a rack-mounted server! :) -- Bowie

The system boots fine most of the time. I only see this happen occasionally. Where do I disable the hardware initialization? I took a quick look at the init files and didn't see anything obvious in there. Is it kudzu that is doing it?

There is no on-board audio. This machine has NO audio hardware at all.

http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/10/10/BAGERLM3RR15.DTL Link posted on Slashdot. I guess this may mean that reiser4 will never ever make it into the mainline kernel let alone RHEL/Centos

Kernel source package missing?
by first last 11 Oct '06

11 Oct '06

Hi everyone, I've been looking for the package kernel-source-2.6.9-34 (from 4.3) and I can't find it anywhere. In fact, the only mention to it I have found is on the RedHat errata (I also have the RHEL CDs and it is not there either). Where can I get it from? I wanna compile some packages and I need the kernel source. Thanks Gabriel ___________________________________________________________ All New Yahoo! Mail Tired of Vi@gr@! come-ons?

RE: [CentOS] (no subject) many .eml files with attachments to process
by Paul Malinowski 11 Oct '06

11 Oct '06

That's quite helpful, thanks, At the end of the day I would like to find some tool in Centos repository which as output will give me attachment in plain/text format (attachment is either plain text either html, but if I will have a attachment as plaint/text that would be enough to process content of attachment) Mails are coming from exchange server, and they are in eml format. Any mime tool in centos which I can use straight away rather the write a perl script with using some module from cpan? Thanks in advance, Paul Malinowski -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of Will McDonald Sent: 11 October 2006 15:26 To: CentOS mailing list Subject: Re: [CentOS] (no subject) On 11/10/06, Paul Malinowski <paul(a)fish4.co.uk> wrote: > Hello, > > I'm looking for some package in Centos which will provide en/decoding of > mime formats.

In your previous email you stated these messages were .eml files? This implies your messages were extracted from Outlook EXPRESS rather than Outlook, this is an important distinction as they store messages extracted to Explorer (via dragging, for example) in different formats. Looking at an .eml file on a test system, they appear to be fairly straightforward MIME encoded messages and I'd have thought any number of Perl/Python/whatever libraries would be able to handle extraction of their attachments. http://search.cpan.org/search?query=mime&mode=all http://docs.python.org/lib/module-email.html http://www.broobles.com/eml2mbox/index.html Outlook's extracted message format, .msg seems a little more "special", http://www.fileformat.info/format/outlookmsg/ It contains multiple streams which would need decoding. http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2004-May/219401.html http://www.matijs.net/software/msgconv/ It would also appear you can import them into mbox format using Thunderbird. I seem to remember there are also a couple of libraries and associated tools for converting dbx/mbx/pst mail stores into mbox. http://alioth.debian.org/projects/libpst/ Will. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos This e-mail and all attachments have been scanned by the HighSpeed Office virus scanning service powered by MessageLabs and no known viruses were detected.
