Now you're wrong. You must be wrong. Say, TUV releases EL5.3. I am *sure* they rebuild *all* the packages, not only whatever was affected on the way from 5.2->5.3.

There. Is. No. Question. About. Any. Patch. When you build audacious from SPEC + tarball, it spits out audacious + audacious_plugins, both as RPMs and as SRPMs (actually, it spits around 15 plugins RPMs). RPMforge misses the plugins, that's all. Probably just triggering a rebuild would fix it all. Instead of talking for ages about patches, what builds and what doesn't, and why "better services" would need pay etc. maybe someone (Dag?) could have triggered the rebuild of audacious for 100 times in the meantime.

[OT] Batch Job Scheduler/Manager
by Mauriat Miranda 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

Hi. Looking for suggestions/ideas. I have pretty loose requirements at this point, but I am looking for a tool (or set of tools) where I can automate and control a large group of tasks by a basic web front end. I have a series of scripts that do various conversions of data or media, as well as analysis and I want to be able check their status, see if they completed or if they failed. Then possibly react or setup alternate jobs if they passed or failed, etc. - some basic logic. I want to avoid building something for this. But if there already exists a tool(s) that I could tailor that would be good too. Something Perl would be perfect, but PHP could be made to work. Free or not would be acceptable. Thanks for any ideas. -Mauriat

Fortran90 and 77 on CentOS
by Sorin Srbu 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

Hi all, Is anybody here using Fortran90 and Fortran77 on their CentOS-machine(s)? If so, did you get that from a repo or something? One of our PhD-students needs a software that requires the Fortran compilers mentioned in order to make the sources for our i7-machines. The Fortran stuff that is available to me is from the standard CentOS repos, as well as Rpmforge and EPEL repos, from which I got gcc43-fortran and some more dependencies and and such. But as far as I can tell, this is not going to work. This is all new territory to me, to have to compile stuff... Please let me know if this is off-topic and should be taken elsewhere.

Well, I've read him saying in various ways and on several occasions something that would equate "RTFM", only it was put in such an offensive way that even myself, as an external reader, I felt compassion for the poor user who was asking an innocent question just to be slapped over the face. > I have no idea what your deal is though with going > after anyone and everybody. Do you just love attacking > people in gerernal? Of course. I also like killing kittens and sodomizing kids. If telling to someone that there are issues with "his" repo (that was RPMforge and Dag is #1 when comes to RF) is an attack, then your world and my world are different, and *your* world is broken. Basically, I have been answered that I cannot ask for consistency for something that's free unless I help fixing the issues. Fair enough. But then, if mentioning that KB's repo for EL5 is still having *everything* in testing (the repo for EL4 is not in testing, and it even wasn't in testing a few years ago when I was using it) is still an attack... ...whereas KB's *offending* and *despising* answer (because *this* is how he usually replies!) basically says that I am an idiot who shouldn't use his repo (only that he wasn't using these exact words, so he's technically "politically correct" in the way he's telling people that they're morons that should shut the fsck up) is not an attack, huh? Well, then raise a statue to the beloved KB, because I'm gonna shut the fuck up. This is not a community, and I know of several people who use ScientificLinux not because it's better, but because on their mailing list, their developers *don't* imply that people are morons when they spit an answer to the list. But now, you're right: should I have the chance to meet KB in person, I'd punch him in the face with an infinite pleasure.

Playing with php 5.3.0
by Michael A. Peters 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

Even though I do not recommend it for production yet, I packaged and am playing with php 5.3.0 - src.rpm at http://www.clfsrpm.net/php53/ (needed epel to build) Other than the suhosin loadable module messing up pear's ability to do anything, initial tests show it working fairly well. Looks like the enchant module is a nogo on CentOS (aspell too old) but in the few hours of testing, none of my code (yet) is broken in it. There are some warnings in the log files w/ respect to squirrelmail and setting time zone (stock centos squirrelmail), I'll have to look into that, and the php src.rpm there actually has a minor bug - it should obsolete/provide pecl-Fileinfo, but I'll wait for suhosin to come up with their patch to core php before I bother to update. Anyway, it's there for anyone who feels like playing with 5.3.0 to see what breaks, you just to rebuild the src.rpm.

That can't be other way. For instance, you can't build GIMP 2.4 or 2.6 unless you you upgrade to a newer GTK+, which would impact on a lot of apps. OTOH, Dag is in a funny position: he's the main maintainer of RPMforge, which has 2 main issues: (1) It's broken, at least partially. Try install audacious for one. (2) It's incompatible with EPEL. Try install MPlayer and VLC with EPEL enabled. To workaround some of the issues and make CentOS 5.3 a suitable distro for my Acer laptop (except that I don't use wireless and I haven't even tried to), I've made my own repo here: http://odiecolon.lastdot.org/ Read the first-page text and rationale *very* carefully! It's therefore an ugly hack to allow: *** the use of the following packages from RPMforge: (1) gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-ffmpeg (2) mplayer mplayer-fonts mplayer-skins mplayerplug-in smplayer (3) vlc *** the regular use of EPEL for everything else; *** the use of newer packages, such as GIMP 2.3.15 as an "almost-2.4" alternative to the obsolete 2.2.12; *** the use of other (unavailable in EPEL or newer) packages, including "cosmetic mood enhancers": (i) gnome-dustwave-theme 0.1, a mix of two themes introduced with Ubuntu Jaunty: it uses Dust for Metacity, and New Wave for the GTK+ decorations. Compiz effects *must* be disabled. (ii) gtk-nimbus-theme 0.1.2, the latest default theme that comes with OpenSolaris 2009.06. As I am not even on my home continent these days and I can't fix any reported issue right now (oh well, but does Dag ever fix RPMforge?), I have not announced this repo in any public place, but it was nevertheless announced on epel-devel-list: https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2009-June/msg00103.html Be free to test and report.

Too many repos, working or not, with packages frozen in testing or not, and this is exactly why I needed my tiny repo to partially "fix" the RPMforge<->EPEL breakage with regards to the exact RF packages I am interested in, and also to add packages that couldn't go into EPEL (like a newer GIMP that would not require any other library update), etc. So no, I don't have a problem with Dag, as someone suggested. I only find partially-broken repos "not Zen" (bad karma, if you wish), and it's even worse when their SRPMs can't build. But I *do* have a problem with RPM Fusion and Karanbir's repo, because they keep packages in "testing" even if nothing happens (they could stay there until 2014, right?). RPMRepo is the best proof that collaboration is close to impossible. And ElRepo is the best proof that other small repos could arise, and they have a reason to exist. But all this is on the "expenses" (not pecuniary, but *nervous*) of the end user, who will get confused and who might also experience system breakage.

Usually, KB would throw offensive assertion to people. No matter what KB would say, and no matter how important is KB to the CentOS project, a quick search through the centos ML archives would show that KB is not someone easy to deal with.

wan hdlc_ppp and IPv6
by Bob Beers 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

Hi list, I can successfully build the driver modules; hdlc, dlci, syncppp, and lmc from the 2.6.18-128.1.14 kernel source rpm, and have managed to create a 'wan kmod' rpm. It all works fine for IPv4, but now I need IPv6 for ppp connections, which doesn't work for me. I think I'll need to back port Krzysztof Halasa's 'ppp for generic hdlc' patches to the 2.6.18-128.1.14.el5 kernel sources. Has anyone worked on this? I have tried simply overwriting the drivers/net/wan directory with corresponding directory from more recent (2.6.25.20, 2.6.30) vanilla kernel source, but I get errors: CC [M] drivers/net/wan/hdlc.o drivers/net/wan/hdlc.c:39:31: error: net/net_namespace.h: No such file or directory drivers/net/wan/hdlc.c: In function ‘hdlc_rcv’: drivers/net/wan/hdlc.c:69: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type drivers/net/wan/hdlc.c:71: error: ‘struct net_device’ has no member named ‘nd_net’ drivers/net/wan/hdlc.c:71: error: ‘init_net’ undeclared (first use in this function) drivers/net/wan/hdlc.c:71: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once drivers/net/wan/hdlc.c:71: error: for each function it appears in.) drivers/net/wan/hdlc.c:76: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type drivers/net/wan/hdlc.c:77: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type drivers/net/wan/hdlc.c: In function ‘hdlc_proto_start’: drivers/net/wan/hdlc.c:85: error: invalid type argument of ‘->’ ... and so on. Where is the best starting point for getting these changes back-ported. I guess I need post-'ppp for generic hdlc' but pre-'net-namespace'. Is this possible? Thanks for any help/advice. -- -Bob

By default, it creates the album on your system...you can upload to their servers or your own, at your discretion. While picassa is certainly an answer, and one I use on occassion, I'm far happier using my own server(s) or hosting locally on my workstaion than relying solely on google's cloud (rock solid though it is...no negative connotation about google intended). You also get what you want out of it...if it's a 'hog', consider if you're linking from thumbs to mid-size display and from *that* to original hi-res.

> He wants me to do some things for him for free > (unfortunately I am a freelancer and not a millionaire). Not for *me*!!! It's only a matter of perception. I normally don't like when a SRPM doesn't build, and I believe that until it's fixed, it should either be removed (alongside with the corresponing RPMs), or be moved to a "testing" section. That's all. But this also means that helping to fix some issues in such a huge repo is frightening, and as long as it won't fix the RF<->EPEL incompatibility, I won't see the motivation! As Dag noted, those 4 newer libs in EPEL that break VLC and MPlayer (so my repo ugly fixes the issue for *me* and for whoever likes to use those repos the way *I* do it) are not an easy issue: should anyone want to rebuild everything in RPMforge that depends on them, most likely some packages wouldn't build at all! So: RF can't be "fixed", EPEL can't be "fixed". To avoid the annoyance of protecting packages and whatnot, I've put in *my* repo Dag's older libs with versions higher than whatever is now in EPEL, so that EPEL won't break Dag's VLC and MPlayer. Oh, maybe this breaks some other multimedia apps from EPEL, but I am not using EPEL for multimedia, so I don't care. Maybe I am stuck with my ideas, and maybe I should be thinking "outside of the box". OK, but I also know that "outside of the box be dragons", so I just won't go outside of the box ;-) R-C __________________________________________________________________ Looking for the perfect gift?

Yes, but when they started, they mainly rebuilt the upstream (Debian) packages, right? > Compare this with the russian ALT Linux distribution: > 150 paid full time developers only to maintain the distro. I'm not buying this number. It's too big. Compare to Pardus, which also employs a number of paid developers, it's more popular than ALT, and it still has less paid devs. But maybe they are employing 150, what do I know... > As for Red Hat, according to recent news, they're moving > from 2.000 to approximately 2.800 employees.

change gnome back to default settings

Some how I have changed something such that the command line: gconftool-2 -t string --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /usr/share/backgrounds/images/other.jpg does not change my background any longer. Has someone come across this before? How can I change gnome back to ALL default settings? Jerry

> I am still waiting for it. I am willing to give you commit > access to fix all the things that irritate you. I offered > the same to others. Actually, how do we know what builds and validates in RF and what doesn't? You should rather trigger a global SRPMS rebuild and... whatever fails to build should go to /dev/null! Take the example of RF's Comix package. I dunno how have you built the RPM, because the SRPM won't build no matter what I tried! (I even suspected that someone has built Comix on a Fedora box, and since the binary seemed to work on CentOS/EL too...) In my view, a repo should be consistent, and its own SRPMS should only need the official EL clone repo to build, or whatever is agreed to be a required dependency (e.g. Fusion declaratively requires EPEL, and even my tiny repo requires or *might* require EPEL for *some* dependencies). If a SRPMS builds under CentOS 5.0 and it doesn't under 5.3, then this package is broekn. I am sorry to decline your offer: I don't need access to a 8,000-package repo, for later I could be accused of some breakage I might have not caused. Unless RF starts from zero (that is, by tossing whatever does not build), I am not interested: better not touch it. Otherwise, everyone is free to rebuild from: http://odiecolon.lastdot.org/el5/SRPMS/ If it doesn't work... c'est la vie. This is the first time in my life that I've built RPMs, so... > It was maintained by matthias in the past, and he > left. I could remove the packages, but that would not > help. Oh yes, it would.

This is the problem with a 8,000-package repo. Hey, even RHEL has only 2,400 or whatever they have! > Should I rebuild it just because EPEL upgraded their > libraries ?

The hard ones we may > not do unless there is a compelling reason and it still > compiles against older distributions. Umm... so let me get it straight (yes, I can be very mean): you *update* or *add* new packages instead of fixing the broken ones? Isn't this approach more like... Ubuntu's? > An automated buildsystem that would rebuild all dependencies > would be great, I don't have it though. Moi non plus. > We have those 400 rock solid packages, even more than that. > I'd say less than 5% are in a bad shape. And audacious is > probaby one of the more visible ones. But again, why do > you expect me to fix them, when you have a need for it ? Because a repo should be consistent. It should be able to rebuild from its own SRPMS. Whatever doesn't fit the picture should go to /dev/null. > What is the difference between a package that cannot be > installed, and a package that is not available ? The same as the difference between "honey, I wanted to cheat on you, but I couldn't find anyone willing to fsck with me" and "honey, this temptation never existed for me"! It's peace of mind. "Now, let's see if this package is broken or not.... oh, it's not broken." But seriously, it's not 5%. If a SRPM doesn't build, then it's broken. This way you could very well have 20% of breakage, in real terms. You know, in the F/LOSS world the idea is that the sources be available *and* that they would build. > Everyone expects it to be fixed. Just delete the packages that don't rebuild. Then, maybe someone will get involved. > Fine, but then stop demanding something to be fixed, > because you're talking about the little free time I > have.

That's cute.

filesize limitation in CentOS or exim?
by Helmut Drodofsky 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

Hallo, today I had a surprising situation. Exim stopped. It's a German centos 5.3 64 Bit installation so the messages are partial in German. Then I tried a restart: [root@centos ~]# service exim restart exim beenden: [FEHLGESCHLAGEN] exim starten: /bin/bash: line 1: 6596 Die maximale Dateigröße ist überschritten /usr/sbin/exim -bd -q30m [FEHLGESCHLAGEN] Reducing the size of /var/log/exim/main.log has solved the Problem. I presume it is a message of CentOS, not from exim. Is this correct? I think, max filesize in CentOS is 2 TB? See http://www.centos.org/product.html in "Filesystem". Where can I change it? Best regards Helmut

commercial support page
by Geoff Galitz 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

So we had that nice long thread about the commercial support page a week ago. There were a few recommendations on changes to the page. What next? It is not clear to me if any recommendations were accepted or are being debated internally or if this fizzled out somehow. Is there any process to this kind of thing other than a few developers agreeing it a good thing and then just doing it? I'm not complaining, but I am genuinely curious. --------------------------------- Geoff Galitz Blankenheim NRW, Germany http://www.galitz.org/ http://german-way.com/blog/

php5 and sqlite
by Paul Bijnens 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

Is there any reason (besides upstream does it) to compile php5 with --without-sqlite in CentOS5 ? Would it conflict with the sqlite that yum needs? Is there a repo (centosplus, rpmforge...) having a php5 and sqlite enabled ? I can only find older mails that seem to imply it does not harm to include sqlite (and some which seem to imply the contrary as well, but without any facts) but I can find only older packages for CentOS 4 that have php and sqlite. -- Paul Bijnens, Xplanation Technology Services Tel +32 16 397.525 Interleuvenlaan 86, B-3001 Leuven, BELGIUM Fax +32 16 397.552 *********************************************************************** * I think I've got the hang of it now: exit, ^D, ^C, ^\, ^Z, ^Q, ^^, * * quit, ZZ, :q, :q!, M-Z, ^X^C, logoff, logout, close, bye, /bye, ~., * * stop, end, ^]c, +++ ATH, disconnect, halt, abort, hangup, KJOB, * * ^X^X, :D::D, kill -9 1, kill -1 $$, shutdown, init 0, Alt-F4, * * Alt-f-e, Ctrl-Alt-Del, Alt-SysRq-reisub, Stop-A, AltGr-NumLock, ... * * ...

Many skins, some simple, some not..an integrated ftp client for uploading to your web server, and nothing else but your photos needed. There's also a pre-built rpm which I've used without issue on CentOS 4.7 and higher (client machines). I'm hosting more than a few of these albums on my CentOS 5.3 server.

SSH Authenticity Messages... Disable/
by Tim Nelson 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

Greetings CentOS community! I connect to a very large number of new machines with a handful of my CentOS boxen. Whenever I connect to a new host, I *REALLY* would like to *NOT* see the error message such as this: The authenticity of host 'w.x.y.z (w.x.y.z)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is 62:7a:6c:e5:03:f5:47:be:23:a5:c5:e5:c3:60:9b:8d. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Also, some of these systems are being setup with an automated login system via SSH keys which means I have to manually login to each of the boxes before the automated scripting will work just to clear the 'authenticity' error. Is there a way to disable this error/authenticity check globally for a system? I understand it may not be the best practice in terms of security, but for an internal trusted host, I have no reservations making this change. Help! :-) --Tim

64-bit CentOS - your experience
by przemolicc＠poczta.fm 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

Hello, one of our developers is developing his Web applications (PHP-based+MySql) on 64-bit Fedora. He would like to use the same, 64-bit environment on CentOS. I am not against 64-bits (we use it for many, many years using Solaris) but what concerns me is the stability of 64-bit Linux. Can you share your experience regarding stability of 32-bit and 64-bit CentOS ? Does anybody use 64-bit CentOS in production (web applications) environment ?

dm-ioband RPM packages
by Ryo Tsuruta 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

Hi all, I'm pleased to announce that the new dm-ioband RPM package (v1.12.0) has been released at: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/ioband/wiki/dm-ioband dm-ioband provides disk bandwidth control on per partition, per user, per process and per virtual machine (such as KVM or Xen) basis. The RPM packages are for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x and CentOS 5.x. They were tested on RHEL 5.2 and CentOS 5.3 and will also work on other 5.x versions. The major change of this release is that a new bandwidth control policy "range-bw" is supported. This policy is developed by Dong-Jae Kang, and it allows users to set a minimum and maximum I/O bandwidth by absolute numbers. The minimum I/O bandwidth should be guaranteed for stable performance or reliability of specific process groups, and I/O bandwidth over the maximum limit should be throttled to protect the limited I/O resource from over-provisioning in unnecessary usage or to reserve the I/O bandwidth for another use. Please visit our website for more information. http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/ioband/wiki/dm-ioband Any comments and suggestions are welcome! Thanks, Ryo Tsuruta

Set hostname via DHCP ?
by Niki Kovacs 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

Hi. I just setup one of my machines as a DHCP server. I'd like it to handle the hostnames of clients. Don't know if this is an orthodox thing to do (feel free to add your comments :oD). Here's the server's relevant lines of dhcpd.conf: --8<------- ... # Envoyer les noms d'hôtes aux clients use-host-decl-names on; # Adresses statiques host babasse { hardware ethernet 00:0d:61:ae:6b:8f; fixed-address 192.168.1.249; } --8<------- Now the question is: how should the configuration look like on the client side, so the hostname gets effetively fetched from the DHCP server? During the initial install, I assigned hostnames manually to every machine. Cheers, Niki Kovacs

IPVS support in current kernel
by fmb fmb 29 Jun '09

Is the IP Virtual Server available by default in the stock 2.6.18-128.1.14.el5? Or shall I compile my own kernel? I did check "config-2.6.18-128.1.14.el5" yet I am not that sure! :) Usually how long does it take to compile the kernel on a modern machine? I am using CentOS 5.3 32 bit thnx

Re: [CentOS] External USB Drive partitioning, formatting and configuring Bacula server
by Sagar Koirala 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

Thanks for your help Sean, did all the steps you mentioned. One thing I don't understand, when partitions are created, why does Linux number it awkwardly? For example, I created 1 Primary partition of 10% disk, then created 1 Extended partition of 90% disk. Inside that extended partition, I created 3 logical partitions 33% each. It went numbering sdb1, sdb5, sdb6 and sdb7. Where's the hell 2,3 and 4? Anyways, I've got my partitions now and formatted them so, it's all good. Thanks for your help with this. Next, as I went through Bacula's pages, I found that they mostly use tape drives for backup....ugh.......how can I use my usb partitions with Bacula? Any ideas? Thanks again! Cheers :)

External USB Drive partitioning and formatting
by Sagar Koirala 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

Hi, I just bought a Seagate 1TB USB drive thinking that I could create a few partitions in it, format in ext3 fs, then configure bacula to setup a backup server in my CentOS box and backup my windows and mac clients. I have plugged the drive and mounted in /mnt/usbdrive and is seen as /dev/sdb1 by the OS. The output of df command is: [root@Production ~]# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 74859680 16053996 55002960 23% / /dev/sda1 101086 27066 68801 29% /boot none 480176 0 480176 0% /dev/shm /dev/sdb1 976760032 97808 976662224 1% /mnt/usbdrive I am thinking of having three partitions instead of just one whole big 1 TB thing, and then format all three partitions in ext3. I tried doing fdisk, but cylinders are always confusing for me. Is there any GUI tool that could help me achieve this as I am newbie to Linux and not very confident with commands. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

SOLVED: CentOS 5.3 and NTFS
by Alan McKay 28 Jun '09

28 Jun '09

Bingo! The yum update took care of it. Oddly enough, until I started my new job 2 months ago I'd always been in the habit of running 'yum -y update' first thing after installing Fedora or CentOS. But the product software we develop does not like that very much so I got out of the habit very quickly after blowing up a machine by doing that :-/ Fortunately it was not a production box. But I do recall actually that I'd done it on my desktop at one point shortly after starting. Thanks all! I'm going to probably re-install my own Vista box here at home with Centos 5.3 64 bit, so I'll try the other method on it. Um, maybe something for a whole new thread, but does CentOS support eSATA? My desktop at home here has a port for it, and the USB drive in question does eSATA as well. Makes it SOOOO much faster when connected to my box! -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

CentOS 5.3 and NTFS
by Alan McKay 28 Jun '09

28 Jun '09

Aaaaaa, I'm pulling out my hair over here! I have an external USB drive which I had at work, connected just fine to my CentOS 5.3 box. I recall there was some jiggery-pokery involved, but do not recall just what. So now I'm on my wife's freshly installed CentOS 5.3 laptop trying to get it going, and I keep getting errors about FATAL: Module fuse not found. I saw this message from the May archives : http://lists.rpmforge.net/pipermail/users/2009-May/002345.html and this as well http://www.johnson.homelinux.net/mywiki/NTFS but no luck! [root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep fuse dkms-fuse-2.7.4-1.nodist.rf fuse-ntfs-3g-2009.4.4-2.el5.rf fuse-2.7.4-1.el5.rf [root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep ntfs ntfsprogs-1.13.1-6.el5 ntfsprogs-gnomevfs-1.13.1-6.el5 fuse-ntfs-3g-2009.4.4-2.el5.rf [root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep dkms dkms-2.0.20.4-1.el5.rf dkms-fuse-2.7.4-1.nodist.rf Can someone answer me this? This "fuse module" ... the one that I'm supposed to be able to add with "modprobe fuse". What RPM provides it? And what file should I be looking for to confirm that it is there? Oh, and just to show that the drive does show up at least : [root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/sda2 14 19457 156183930 8e Linux LVM Disk /dev/sdb: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 121601 976760001 7 HPFS/NTFS thanks, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"
