share folder as USB mass storage device
by Bent Terp 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Hi all! Maybe I'm just being silly here, but I'm wondering if anybody has ever used their computer for sharing files over USB. That is, the computer pretends to be a USB mass storage device. This could be useful for connecting to media players and such that support you plugging a USB harddrive or memory stick. Surely, somebody must have thought of this before :-D regards, Bent

install from USB thumdrive
by Jerry Geis 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Hi all Is there a procedure to use an 8GIG thumbdrive to copy the centos 5.2 dvd contents to the thumbdrive then run isolinux (or something like it) and be able to use the thumbdrive as the install media? Seems like it should work, however my machine only has syslinux not isolinux. yum provides isolinux does not return anything. Anyway I was trying to get to a point where I can just stick a USB fab in a machine, have the fab setup with the correct kickstart and everything so it just installs. I cant modify a DVD but a fab I could put the kickstart files on and nothing to type. jerry

Drive activity every 30sec
by Robert Moskowitz 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

I have a Centos installed on a Hitachi 2.5" drive that shuts off really quickly, it seems. So every 30 sec, the drive makes the sound of an access activity. I have looked trying to find what might be being updated. Swap drive usage is 0 bytes. No activity in /var/log. What might it be and can I do anything to lessen the drive access (improve battery life)?

OK. Now that I have already upgraded, how do I migrate my bookmarks. :( Should have exported them before the upgrade, I suspect....

Centos 5.2 and 2.6.18-92 Kernel backported SATA fixes?
by Michael Rock 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Last year to get motherboards with the G33 chipset with SATA working with Centos I had to either use David Harbic fixes or use Fedora 8 since it had the later 2.6.25 kernel. I no longer see David's fixes available and also see in the 5.2 release notes "update SATA driver and infrastructure". Did Redhat finally incorporate fixes to full support the new G33 chipset and SATA? I have more of these G33 chipset motherboards with Q6600 cpu. Trying to decide which is the least hassle setup and long term i386 or x86_64, on either Centos 5.2 or Fedora 9?

Any ideas? (I've also modified create parameter for squid be owner of access logs and run by hand logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/squid to see if it repeats the case) Thanks in advance -- -- Open Kairos http://www.openkairos.com Watch More TV http://sebelk.blogspot.com Sergio Belkin -

CentOS mount doesn't support smbfs type ?
by Mário Gamito 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Hi, I'm trying to mount a Windows folder from a Linux box with the command: # mount -t smbfs (...) but I get the error: "mount: unknown filesystem type 'smbfs'". Does this mean that CentOS mount doesn't support smbfs type ? If so, how can I enable it ? I'm using 5.1 Any help would be appreciated. Warm Regards, Mário Gamito
