putting "/tmp" to memory
by kellyremo 24 Jan '11

24 Jan '11

"to memory" means: mounting a ~2 GByte filesystem [ tmpfs?, or ramfs? ], and put the "/tmp" on it. [ e.g.: 4 GByte ram in the pc ]. what to write in the "/etc/fstab"? I would like to collect the [ answers too:P ]: Advantages: - Memory is way faster then HDD/SSD, so it could speed things up - "SSD amortization" is less Disadvantages: - Security? [ how to set this up to be secure? any clear howtos/links regarding it? :O ] Really thank you for any good help...

Why don't you download the DVD, it give you much more than disc 1. >>> Parshwa Murdia 01/19/11 1:41 PM >>> Hi, I have downloaded the following version: CentOS-5.5-i386-LiveCD-Release2.iso from the mirror: http://ftp.iitm.ac.in/centos/5.5/isos/i386/ What I want to ask is that 'Release2' is the complete OS and after installation we can use 'yum update'.

Rudi, this is an explanation of *why* it's frowned on, and a link to the std. nettiquitte FAQ. If you think this is a flame, you've never seen a *real* flame. Or, for that matter, google for someone being MSTed.... mark, who got on usenet in '91

curious reboot output
by Tim Dunphy 24 Jan '11

24 Jan '11

Hello list! I was just curious about the output of a command I typed. [root@LCENT02:~] #last reboot | head -1 reboot system boot 2.6.18-194.26.1. Wed Dec 29 20:03 (24+01:33) This is odd because this machine was rebuilt today (Saturday 1/22) in mid afternoon. Just curious how the output of this command could NOT know this? Also I notice that on select machines the command init 6 does not seem to reboot the machine. I have to type the reboot command in order for this to actually happen. Any troubleshooting tips here? Thanks -- GPG me!! gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys F186197B

how to control Hard Drive light from Linux?
by Rudi Ahlers 24 Jan '11

24 Jan '11

Hi all, Does anyone know how to control a hard drive light from Linux? I'm building a 24bay Linux File server which will run software RAID and I need an easy way for the engineers to see which HDD has gone bad. Most of our NAS devices has 2 lights on the hard drive cages and they automatically signal a bad one (reg light, light constant on , etc) but I can't figure out how todo this from Linux. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

pen drive, hard disk, cd not being detected
by Ritika Garg 23 Jan '11

23 Jan '11

I am working in Centos5.5. Pen drive, hard disk, cd are not being recognised. During booting, "mounting local filesystems [failed]" is displayed among other errors which I am unable to see as the messages proceed fast. Are these messages stored in some file, so that I can check them and report all the errors that are displayed during booting.
