Question around updates and drpms directory
by Stephen Harris 09 Mar '13

09 Mar '13

Looking at the nice new 6.4 tree (thanks!!!) I see there are already a few updates. eg Packages/firefox-17.0.3-1.el6.centos.i686.rpm Packages/firefox-17.0.3-1.el6.centos.x86_64.rpm So far, so normal. These occur because of timing. That's not a problem; it's expected. What confuses me, though, is the drpms directory where there are 33 firefox drpm files compared to the 2 Packages, including firefox-3 versions! The drpms directory is around 3.3G whereas the Packages directory is only 680M. Is the drpms directory carrying legacy files? Or is this to be expected? -- rgds Stephen

Cannot mount 3TB MyBook USB HD
by Miller,Jason [Burlington] 08 Mar '13

08 Mar '13

Hello, new Linux user here and I cannot mount a new (empty) WD MyBook Essentials 3TB USB external hard drive (Model WDBACW0030HBK-NESN). I'm only about 3 weeks into this linux thing and so please forgive me if any of my syntax is off My linux OS is CentOS 5.4 x86-64 running on a dedicated HP z400. The WD MyBook is to back up the large data files we are creating on the HP400 (it's used to run a DNA sequencer) I plugged the brand new MyBook into my XP system and cleaned out all the pre-installed WD files as soon as I got it, then plugged into my Linux system (2 completely separate machines). It failed to auto-mount with this error: Failed to read last sector (732558079): Invalid argument HINTS: Either the volume is a RAID/LDM but it wasn't setup yet, or it was not setup correctly (e.g. by not using mdadm --build ...), or a wrong device is tried to be mounted, or the partition table is corrupt (partition is smaller than NTFS), or the NTFS boot sector is corrupt (NTFS size is not valid). Failed to mount '/dev/sdc1': Invalid argument The device '/dev/sdc1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around? I've been searching in many forums and such but so far nothing I've tried has worked, including: Reformatting the HD (on the XP machine), NTFS format using 4096 byte allocation size (slow format, took hours) Reformatting the HD (on the XP machine), NTFS format using 512 byte allocation size (that the size used on the two ext3 internal drives; used "quick format" option this time) Adding a new directory: # mkdir /media/MyBook Then changing fstab to add line: /dev/sdc1 /media/MyBook ntfs-3g rw,umask=0000,defaults 0 0 Then: # mount /media/MyBook Which returned the same error each time I installed gparted, then opened the GUI program. It nicely displays the info on the two installed ext3 hard drives but that's all it shows Here's some info on other packages which were investigated, installed or updated in an attempt to mount this USB drive: ntfs-3g would not install, yum reported conflicts with fuse-ntfs-3g dkms-fuse is not installed dkms not installed fuse-ntfs-3g (updated to latest version) parted (updated to latest version) When I run # parted /dev/sdc Or # parted /dev/sdc1 I get this message: Warning: Device /dev/sdc has a logical sector size of 4096. Not all parts of GNU Parted support this at the moment, and the working code is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL. When I use "print" command in gparted I get Error: unable to open /dev/sdc (or /dev/sdc1) - unrecognized disk label I also tried fdisk # fdisk /dev/sdc And received this message: The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 45599. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other Oss (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) WARNING: The size of this disk is 3 TB DOS partition table format can not be used on drives for volumes larger than (2199023255040 bytes) for 512-byte sectors. Use parted(1) and GUID partition table format (GPT). Similar results when I used # fdisk /dev/sdc1 Except some number were different (ie number of cylinders report as 12180) What am I doing wrong? Is all this problem simply due to the size of the hard drive (3TB)? I also have a 1TB Seagate used to backup several other computers (all XP or Win7). Would I be better to use the Seagate on the linux and the WD on the windows systems?

UPS batteries, resolved
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 08 Mar '13

08 Mar '13

Well, whoever (or whoevers) recommended BatterySharks, thank you. I just got the order today, a bit sooner than I expected, and it was *exactly* what I'd asked for (HR batteries, all of them) and at their open market price, it was *low*, so it saved a non-defense sector of the US federal gov't a nice chunk o' change. Thanks. mark

recover lvm from pv
by Harold Pritchett 08 Mar '13

08 Mar '13

I have a vanilla CentOS 5.9 system. I have a pair of 2Tb sata drives with a RAID 1 array on them. This array contains an LVM physical volume. I have added these two drives to my system and now need to access the volume group on this physical volume. This volume group, vg0, contains 10 ext3 file systems and I need to get the data from them. What do I know: [root@mickey ~]# pvscan PV /dev/sda2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [465.66 GB / 0 free] PV /dev/sdb1 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [465.75 GB / 0 free] PV /dev/md125 lvm2 [1.81 TB] Total: 3 [2.72 TB] / in use: 2 [931.41 GB] / in no VG: 1 [1.81 TB] [root@mickey ~]# The first two contain the running system. The third one, /dev/md125 is my lvm physical volume. [root@mickey ~]# pvdisplay --------- snip first two pvs ------- "/dev/md125" is a new physical volume of "1.81 TB" --- NEW Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/md125 VG Name PV Size 1.81 TB Allocatable NO PE Size (KByte) 0 Total PE 0 Free PE 0 Allocated PE 0 PV UUID UB2Zs1-2bau-frhn-TdQb-hXNi-H6c1-OgA6XZ [root@mickey ~]# I have spent the last 8 hours or so searching the web for the next command(s) I need to enter to mount this vg and the 10 filesystems in it. What other information do I need which may be available? Help! Thanks Harold
