Hi All I've just shifteed over to linux,form Windows.I 'm having 5 partations for use by my windows XP Professional and another one by linux.The partation table is as shown : ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [root@localhost6 ~]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/hdc: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdc1 * 1 1275 10241406 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hdc2 1276 30400 233946562+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hdc5 1276 7649 51199123+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hdc6 7650 14023 51199123+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hdc7 14024 20397 51199123+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hdc8 20398 26771 51199123+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hdc9 26772 26784 104391 83 Linux /dev/hdc10 26785 28059 10241406 83 Linux /dev/hdc11 28060 28124 522081 82 Linux swap / Solaris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I want to convert my NTFS partations /dev/hdc5 ,/dev/hdc6 ,/dev/hdc7 ,/dev/hdc8 over to FAT32,so that they can be accessible to me in both Windows and LINUX environments.I googled a lot for the same and found that in windows i'll have to delete all the partitions and recreate themin FAT32 format,but the limitation over here is that windows just allows a FAT32 partition to be at most of 32GB and i don't want to breakup my disk any more,can anyone please help me out with some way in the linux environment,to do the desired. Thanks to all,and please help me and LINUX grow. Thanks & Regards Saurabh Sharma ************************************************************************************************** In world without fences and walls,who needs Gates and Windows ? **************************************************************************************************

video capture via nvidia g3, cento5 (rhel5) - arrrgghhh
by Paul 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

I've never messed with video capture on a linux system, and someone point me the right direction? I've been googling like crazy, and can't seem to get any good pointers. I'm trying to get some kind of video capture working and eventually get a live cam setup and security setup with motion sensing. I've given up on getting my USB webcam to work. I'm now trying via the video input of my G3 card. I've installed the latest nvidia drivers for g3 and still no go. Not sure I even have the slightest clue of what I'm doing. Any pointers or good resources? Thanks.

Thanks! Any recommendations for actual genuine, non-winmodem, CHEAP modems? And, yes, I realize that this is OT - should have said so up front.... Thanks again. mhr

by Nils Toedtmann 03 Dec '07

Hi *! I have to install a xen virtualization host that will start with 4GB RAM and will maybe grow to 8GB in the future. And there has to be a 32bit winXP domU. Is CentOS5(.1) x86_64 able to run 32bit HVMs or do i have to stick with i386/PAE? /nils.

Adding user's and groups
by Joseph L. Casale 02 Dec '07

02 Dec '07

Is it ok to edit the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files manually to add users and groups or would this circumvent other required system commands from being executed when adding them at the command line via useradd and groupadd? In reading the docs @ http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-users-tools.htm… I see a user that is created with these utilities is disabled until unlocked with passwd. If someone is creating users for services without home dirs and shell access, how do you handle the password? Looking at the example provided in a doc I am reading, there is "*" in the password field in the passwd file. Is that suggesting it's just not displayed in the doc, or does the "*" have specific meaning? Thanks! jlc

Obtuse-smtpd and Postfix
by Manuel Leon 02 Dec '07

02 Dec '07

Hi all.. I would like to switch to CENTOS Postfix from sendmail. My current sendmail, in combination with the very old obtuse-smtpd, allows me: 1. To control who of the internal users can send mail and to which domain or accounts 2. To control who of the internal users can receive mail and from which domain or accounts 3. To obtain a copy of all sent mails 4. To obtain a copy of all received mails Obtuse-smtpd is very easy to configure and very effective. It takes control of all smtp activities over Port 25 and, after filtering and checking, passes the safe mails to sendmail for final delivery. Obtuse can, also, check for addressability, through DNS, of the mail sender and other useful features. Unfortunately, obtuse-smtpd is so old that it works only (don't be surprised) with old sendmail versions. So, I always have to uninstall the in-OS shipped modern sendmail version and replace it with the proper old version. Now: Can Postfix do all this ? Or, at least: Can Postfix work in combination with obtuse-smtpd ? (at the end, obtuse just calls sendmail for the real mail delivery; it only receives mail in port 25 and checks what it receives with its rules, allowing or rejecting at the end) Thanks a lot, in advance. M. Leon

Replacement for Linux-HA (heartbeat) - RedHat cluster?
by Amos Shapira 02 Dec '07

02 Dec '07

Hello, I'm beginning to give up on making Linux-HA's heartbeat work for my environment (CentOS x86_64) and am wondering what other option have I got to help me: 1. Use IPVS to maintain a cluster of virtual servers, either master/slave or load-balanced. 2. Use DRBD in master/slave fashion to keep a home-grown application highly-available. The first thing I stumbled upon is RedHat Cluster Suite ( http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/centos_linux_guides/centos_cluster_c…) from which I also saw some packages on my CentOS servers. I've never heard of it before and am just starting to dig its docs, but if someone here can confirm/deny that this is a possible route to take it might save me some time or doubts. Thanks, --Amos

Searching for beagle
by Olaf Mueller 02 Dec '07

02 Dec '07

Hi, there was a message in the list at Fri 26 Oct 2007 21:13:58, that beagle was added to centos testing repo. But I could not find it there. Please could someone give me an advice. Thank's a lot! "We have added beagle-0.2.18, tomboy-0.8.1, and mono-1.2.4 to the CentOS-5 testing repo for both x86_64 and i386." Are there any experiences with beagle under centos 5? Is it usable now or will it slow down my desktop like it did under fedora core 6? regards Olaf
