Re: [CentOS] mkfs.ext3 on a 9TB volume

Agreed: If ANYBODY knows an info-to-man method please post. Second-runner-up: info-to-html would work (html is what info tries to emulate in text-only mode...)

Add to your soap-box: the standard 'man' is disregarded, you are left to use (non-standard) info. There's a man -k call, I haven't found an info -k equivalent. Yes, there's a great calling for thankless man page writing in the *nix world.

Grrrrrrrrrrr, 1 of my *long time* complaints w/ Linux (any Linux, apparently) is that nobody bothers to keep man-pages/FAQS/other-documentation up to date. The cron(8) on my SuSE 9.2 P4 is dated 1996 (!!!). I lay this at the feet of the distro folks myself, but none of them have taken it up :-) .... -- William A.

New to the list and one quick question
by cajun 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

Hi all, Let me start off with a little back ground. I am running right now RH9 fully updated on a Dell PowerEdge 1600SC with 512megs of Ram, 18G SCSI HD. I run this at home so this is no critical server, unless you ask my girls when I have it down, I have been debating on upgrading to Fedora until I started looking at CentOS. I have download the ISO and burned them with X-CD-Roast. Here is my question: I tried running the mediacheck on the cd's and it would lock up right before the media check screen appears. I have googled and tried the ide=nodma and other options, but to still no avial. I also ran memtest86, now here is where the kicker is. It did show there was some errors, and these I will check out. But I then got a wild idea and pulled out my 1st CD of RH9, dropped it into the CD drive and at the boot prompt ran media check. RH9 disk 1 checked out fine, so I dropped in the CentOS disk 1 and ran it. It checked out fine and so did all the rest of them. Is this a vaild test?? Or am I just blowing in the wind here?? Thanks for any input into this matter!! Lee Perez Still learning!!!

OT: setting up a bridge
by carlopmart＠gmail.com 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

hi all, I am using centos3.5 for my firewall home. I would like to do some tests with bridge firewalling. When i try to create the bridge, brctl givtes me this error: br_add_bridge: Package not installed. i find some answers about this error, but the most important is the one that says driver is not loaded into kernel. In my /boot/config-2.4.21-32.0.1.EL file appears compiled as a module, but how can i load it with modprobe?? .... :(( Thanky you -- CL Martinez carlopmart {at} gmail {d0t} com

OT: ProFTPD web browser login
by Ed Morrison 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

I'm setting up a ftp server. I need to be able to have people have a non interactive login through a web browser into a chrooted directory i.e. ftp://somewhere.com. I also need to have a URL that will auto login a user to a chrooted directory. These chrooted directories will be RO for all anonymous access. That said I also need to have a staff account that has upload rights to these directories. Before I was able to use with Windowz FTP servers: ftp://user:password@somewhere.com. This does not pass with proftpd or vsftpd. Are there conf entries that will allow these? I know there are security risks associated with this but it is an environment I have to deal with anyway. Conf file: # This is the ProFTPD configuration file # $Id: proftpd.conf,v 1.1 2004/02/26 17:54:30 thias Exp $ ServerName "ProFTPD server" ServerIdent on "FTP Server ready."

Boot process slow with rhgb quiet on
by Dave Gutteridge 12 Sep '05

12 Sep '05

If I boot with "rhgb quiet" off, my computer boots in 1 minute and 30 seconds. If I boot with "rhgb quiet" on, my computer boots in 3m11s. That's a long time to wait. Significantly, when booting with "rhgb quiet", right at the moment X takes over, there is a 1m36s pause where the screen is blank except for the hourglass cursor turning around and around. Of course, if my main priority was to simply boot quickly, I would simply remove the "rhgb quiet" option from the boot process. And I'm not opposed to doing that. However, this pause only started happening recently, so I wonder why it exists at all. When booting with "rhgb quiet" off, I tried to look for any errors or indications of a problem, but it seemed to boot mostly without pause or error. There was one message which was like an error warning, which said something about a "microcode device doesn't exist?". But text was moving across the screen quickly and I couldn't write down exactly what it said. Before I give in and remove the "rhgb quiet" option permanently, is there any way I might be able to diagnose and fix this delay problem? I'd rather be telling the computer how to boot, instead of it telling me. Dave
