Squashfs as rootfs
by Marcin Trendota 09 Jan '19

09 Jan '19

Hello. I'm trying to add option to grub menu (amongst other options) to boot from squashfs image. But 'root=live:/path/tofile' doesn't work. I didn't find anything useful on the internet. Anybody can point me in right direction? Maybe better choice is to replace grub with isolinux? I have working solution with iso with squashfs booting through PXE, but i don't know how to do this in grub. TIA -- Marcin Trendota

How do I remove a kernel
by Robert Moskowitz 09 Jan '19

09 Jan '19

I have 4 kernels in /boot, leaving on 20MB which is not enough for the next one. I had installonly_limit= set at 5, as there were some kernel problems. After I got the error that there was not enough room for another kernel, I set installonly_limit= to 3 and did the update with --exclude=kernel* That worked to update everything else, but not remove the oldest kernel. How can I remove the oldest kernel to make room for the new one? thanks

copy with bunzip2?
by Frank Cox 08 Jan '19

08 Jan '19

I have several pdf files as .pdf.bz2, as seen here: a/1.pdf.bz2 a/2.pdf.bz2 a/b/3.pdf.bz2 a/b/c/4.pdf.bz2 I want to copy everything in and under directory a to another computer, but I want the files to be decompressed on the destination machine: a/1.pdf a/2.pdf a/b/3.pdf a/b/c/4.pdf I could just use rsync and run a bunch of bunzip2 commands on the destination after the copying is completed, but perhaps there's a better way that would decompress the files in transit instead? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

Encrypting a file
by mark 08 Jan '19

08 Jan '19

I'm running C6. I want to encrypt a file or two, before I email it. Now, I have a very long passphrase - I used it a number of years ago. and that worked. It's about a paragraph long. For the last year or two, since one upgrade, kgpg popped up a window when I logged in. Until a few days ago, I just hit cancel. But, since this came up, I tried to run it. It got to "enter a passphrase"... and it FROZE MY ENTIRE WORKSPACE. I couldn't copy and paste from another window. I couldn't change focus to *anything*. So, given I want to use a long passphrase, I'd like to either copy and paste, or tell it to use a file. I'm not seeing any way to do this in the gpg manpage. Clues for the poor? mark

can XFS filesystem recover rm'ed files?
by Dave Burns 07 Jan '19

07 Jan '19

Yes, I rm'ed the wrong directory. The disk has not been written to since, now mounted ro. Is it possible to recover the files without doing forensics on the whole partition? I know the UID and path. XFS is supposed to be pretty amazing, can I get it to do this? Thanks, Dave

Upgrade CentOS 7.4 to 7.5 and don't want to upgrade it to 7.6
by Kaushal Shriyan 07 Jan '19

07 Jan '19

Hi, Is there a way to upgrade from Centos Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core) to Centos Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core) and not up to CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core) as the product does not support the latest CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core) version as of now. It is still a work in progress. Any help will be highly appreciable. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks in Advance. Best Regards, Kaushal
