Setting Group owner of files on USB drive
by Robert Moskowitz 01 Jun '08

01 Jun '08

I just got a 8Gb flash drive and went to copy a bunch of files onto it. I wanted to perserve everything, so I just took my archiving rsync command and altered it to go to localhost:/media/RALLY2/ (name of flash drive). I am getting errors with changing the group owner. Huh? So I try to just use mkdir to create a directory on the flash drive. The directory has a group of root ??? So I try a chgrp and get: [root@mine me]# chgrp me /media/RALLY2/Stuff chgrp: changing group of `/media/RALLY2/Stuff': Operation not permitted OK why can't I set the group to something other than root? ls -lstr /media/ total 4 4 drwxr-xr-x 3 me root 4096 May 30 16:28 RALLY2 and of course for /media: 8 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 30 16:18 media

Fastest 4.6 -> 5.1 upgrade path
by Adrian Marsh 31 May '08

31 May '08

Hi All, I've a question on upgrading Centos with the least downtime... I've a centos 4.6 machine, hosting my local Centos respository. I'd like to upgrade the OS to 5.1 I've practised in a VMware machine upgrading it by booting from a CD, but I wondered if YUM could do it, whilst keeping the rest of the machine "alive". Am I better to shutdown and upgrade, or is yum really *that* good? Thanks, Adrian

Looking to change a yml file (yaml is a database type file) *** from --- !ruby/object:Right attributes: name: Personnel Admin action: index id: "1" controller: assessments --- !ruby/object:Right attributes: name: Personnel Admin action: find id: "2" controller: assessments *** to --- !ruby/object:Right attributes_1: name: Personnel Admin action: index id: "1" controller: assessments --- !ruby/object:Right attributes_2: name: Personnel Admin action: find id: "2" controller: assessments where I'm taking the 'id:' field from each record and inserting an underscore and the id into the 'attributes' label directly above. Any takers? Thanks Craig

Learning some sad things about the state of IPv6
by Robert Moskowitz 31 May '08

31 May '08

We have kernel support for IPv6 in Centos, but not stateful firewall support. That requires at least the 2.6.20 kernel, which means Fedora Core 6 or some other Linux distro. None of the various free Linux firewalls have IPv6 support. Supposedly FWBuilder can manage Netfilters for a Linux Kernel, but that seems to be the extent of it. More sad facts as I uncover them.....

May be already asked, sorry so ! But what is the best method when updating between 4.4 and 4.5 or 4.4 and 4.6 or 5.0 and 5.1 Is it ok to update only with 'yum update' cmd, with no risk ? Thanks you for your support, ______________________________________________ Emmanuel Fournier - ICT

Low-memory Centos5?
by Jeffrey B. Layton 30 May '08

30 May '08

Good morning, I've inherited an old laptop from my wife that I'd like to use when I travel (it's fairly small with a 12" screen). The bad part is that it is maxed out on memory with 384MB. Has anyone played with using Centos5 on systems with little memory? Ideally, I don't need too much - Firefox, Openoffice, a little Perl/Python/C here and there. I was thinking about using either XFCE or Icewm as the window manager. I'd also like it to work with the existing wireless card (Dlink DWL-G650). Any thoughts or recommendations? TIA! Jeff
