[OT] Services for Unix being built into Win2K3-R2
by Johnny Hughes 04 Sep '05

04 Sep '05

I found this article about Microsoft SFU being built into the new Windows 2003 Server R2 very interesting. http://news.com.com/Microsoft+makes+Unix+changes/2100-1016_3-5845790.html?t… What does this signify? Is Windows ready to really co-exist with Unix / Linux ... or are they going to try and provide similar functionality because they recognize it is better technology moving forward?

Accents in filenames on vfat filesystem
by dan1 03 Sep '05

03 Sep '05

Hello. I am trying to create a text file that contains an accent like 'é' in it's filename on a vfat filesystem. This generates an error like the following: "testé.txt" E212: Can't open file for writing I have made a 'modprobe nls_cp850' and 'modprobe nls_iso8859-1' to load those needed modules. Then I mounted my FAT32 partition like this: mount -t vfat -o iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 /dev/hdb1 /samba_backups The mount succeeded but I still cannot create or copy a file that has an accent in it's filename. Of course I can create without any problem a file without any accent once the filesystem mounted the same way. It seems that other people on other systems are having no problems. Does somebody knows what happens and what I am doing wrong, and that would have any suggestion ? Thank you. Daniel

CentOS bootstrapper for chroot(2) environment
by Jan Kratochvil 03 Sep '05

03 Sep '05

Hi, just some script built along: Unattended install & run CentOS-4.1 just using chroot(1). Mostly a surprise for me it was so easy to reach that goal. It requires rpm(1) based host OS and it was tested only on Fedora Core 4. I needed it to do only a bit customized CentOS kernel package rebuild. Regards, Lace

installing on 915GAVL motherboard kernel bombs and/or X bombs
by Jerry Geis 03 Sep '05

03 Sep '05

I got a new box today. 915GAVL motherboard. Celeron 2.4G 1 GIG mem 80GIG SATA drive. When I boot centos I have had various stages of success. Once I got as far as partitioning the disk manually and X blew and the machine rebooted. Couple times I have had kernel crashes at different stages of install. I have not has trouble installing before and was wondering if there are suggestions. I did try installing without X "linux text pci=noapci" and that stopped also. All anaconda says is "install exited abnormally". I went ot the hardware monitor portion and seems stable CPU temp at around 48-50C. Any ideas? Jerry

question on cut
by Jerry Geis 02 Sep '05

02 Sep '05

I am trying to use cut to tell me the suffix of a file. for example: echo /home/silentm/log/file.machine.log | cut -d . -f 1- I was expecting to get .log or log but I get the entire string echoed back. doing the opposite gave me what I expected: echo /home/silentm/log/file.machine.log | cut -d . -f 1 gives me /home/silentm/log/file I am trying to find a way to test if the file ends in .log? How might I do that. Thanks, Jerry

nfsstat -m equivalent
by Mark Belanger 02 Sep '05

02 Sep '05

Is there an equivalent command to nfsstat -m on Centos 3.4? On solaris it reports statistics for each NFS mounted file system i.e.: /mount/point from host:/some/path Flags: vers=3,proto=tcp,sec=sys,hard,intr,link,symlink,acl,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,retrans=5,timeo=50 Attr cache: acregmin=3,acregmax=60,acdirmin=30,acdirmax=60 On a related topic, how can I make a Centos3.4 nfs server export the filesystem with an rsize/wsize of 32K. I believe the kernel supports it: $ grep MAXBL /usr/src/linux-2.4.21-27.EL/include/linux/nfsd/const.h #define NFSSVC_MAXBLKSIZE (32*1024) #define NFSSVC_MAXBLKSIZE (2*PAGE_SIZE) Although I'm confused by this similar file from the glibc-kernheaders package. $ grep MAX /usr/include/linux/nfsd/const.h #define NFSSVC_MAXVERS 3 #define NFSSVC_MAXBLKSIZE (8*1024) -Mark -- Mark Belanger LTX Corporation

'{print $NF}' log The benefit of awk is that you don't have to know how many dots are in the file. $NF just prints the last one. -Mark

when I do the the cut -d "." -f 2- I get 2 fields. If my file was /home/silentm/log/file.machine.log I get machine.log not just "log" the suffix?? Jerry
