View 1 RepliesI have two internal hard drives.I just installed Debian Lenny in the smaller 80GB. But when I try to access the other hard drive it shows:
"Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume"
info:
-The 80GB is on dual boot with Windows 7 and Debian Lenny.
-The 500GB secondary hard drive is NTFS filesystem.
I have recently upgraded my Debian unstable to the new custom 2.6.34 kernel. The system is unresponsive and top shows two processes (flush-8:0 & flush-8:16) taking up most of the cpu time.

Even after restarting mysql and the host. After some googling and trying I found out "flush tables with read lock" gives the same result. The tables seem to be MyIsam. I tried with a mysqldump on one server and restore it on a test vm. I used the same config and flush logs still hangs. ALso I tried to change some configuration directives... but with the same result
Edit: btw, I checked the logfile and didn't found anything (/var/log/mysqld.log)
Edit2: I also did myisamchk -s *.MYI (in all direcoties with db files;actually did it with find command) and it did not return anything so datafiles seem ok.

wrote a script to sync my netbook music with my server music and everything was fine.but if for some reason lets say i run it accidently and i'm not connected to my network, i just wiped my netbook music .here's what i got so far:
Code:
Sudo mkdir /media/ServerMusic/
mount -t cifs -o user=Justin,password=****** //192.168.1.108/Public-3/Music/ /media/ServerMusic/[code]....
i need to have the --delete option in rsync (say i sync it and realize i hate some music, when i delete it from the server i don't want it still on the netbook.i want an if statement in here somehow, but i'm not sure how to do it.something like, the first command in the script should be a ping test, if ping doesn't work end the script, if ping does work continue or if the server music gets mounted to the created directory continue, if the mount failed, or even in the mounted folder is empty stop the script
what can i do here to ensure i can keep the --delete and not have to worry about losing my music if the mount fails?
Code:
if [ -x /usr/bin/id ]; then
if [ -z "$EUID" ]; then

I was trying to know if relatime or noatime was set on a filesystem, but i didn't found the information, neither in /etc/fstab, neither in kernel boot options.
First of all, it seems clear that i don't have the "normal" behaviour on atime:
root@antec:/tmp# rm -f test.txt; echo a>test.txt
root@antec:/tmp# stat test.txt | grep -i 2011
Access: 2011-08-01 21:54:30.000000000 +0200
Modify: 2011-08-01 21:54:30.000000000 +0200
[Code]....
- Is noatime or relatime a default mount options, and if yes, from which kernel release ?
- Is there a way to see the default mount options (ie: how can i see why i don't have the "normal" atime behaviour ?)
I have been having some issues with Ubuntu One. I am running Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick. For some reason, Nautilus tells me that Ubuntu's default Videos folder (there is data in this folder) is synced on Ubuntu One when it is not. I have checked on the Ubuntu One website, and the site says the Videos folder is not synced (Ubuntu One's website does not show the Videos folder under "my synced folders"). When I attempt to uncheck the sync option in Nautilus, the loader next to it spins endlessly, or Nautilus gives me an error that it can not sync the folder.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use the dirs command with the +N option. The manual says: dirs [-clpv] [+n] [-n]Without options, displays the list of currently remembered directories. The default display is on a single line with directory names separated by spaces. Direc- tories are added to the list with the pushd command; the popd command removes entries from the list. +n Displays the nth entry counting from the left of the list shown by dirs when invoked without options, starting with zero.
dirs -v shows:
0 /dir1/
1 /dir2/
2 /dir3/
However, dir +n 1, dir +N 1, dir -v +n 1, dir -v +N 1 all give:

In the rpm manual, Print 50 hash marks as the package archive is unpacked. Use with -v|--verbose for a nicer display. But actually, there're not enough hash marks when I'm installing a package. About 44 hash marks there...Well, I just want to know where the `50 hash marks' are.

I tried to install gfortran on my computer. When I extract the tarball, I forgot the '-C' option of the command 'tar', which should be added, according to the instruction of installation.
That is to say, I wrote in the mp directory:
Then, the tarball creates a '/usr' directory under '/tmp' directory, and it contains only a /local directory, which contains only a /gfortran directory.
The thing is, when I modify the name of this directory, for example, from /usr to /usr-modi, I found that the name of the directory /usr under the root directory is also changed from /usr to /usr-modi.
How can I delete this annoying /usr directory under /tmp, without tragically affect /usr under the root directory?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to automate an svnadmin dump command for a backup script, and I want to do something like this:
find /var/svn/* ( ! -name dir -prune ) -type d -exec svnadmin dump {} > {}.svn ;
This seems to work, in that it looks through each svn repository in /var/svn, and runs svnadmin dump on it.
However, the second {} in the exec command doesn't get substituted for the name of the directory being processed. It basically just results a single file named {}.svn.
I suspect that this is because the shell interprets > to end the find command, and it tries redirecting stdout from that command to the file named {}.svn.
I have one distro installed, LILO as the boot loader, and i wonder if it's possible to duplicate the lilo entries with an option which executes some script or command during, or after the boot.Actually, i installed a Slackware + autolaunching virtual machine, but i have two VM, so i need to autolaunch one of them. May i choose it from the very beginning ?

when I do e2fsck -p /dev/sdb4 I get
e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdb4 /dev/sdb4: The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 file system. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device> I was hoping I could just plug in both cards and do this dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc to copy everything and have a back up SD card.

How to find out of a filesystem is in readonly mode?
What will the output be from the 'mount' command if a filesystem is read-only?

View 5 Replies View RelatedIf the filesystem is mounted with noatime option does it influence find -atime behaviour? I tested and it looks that find is able to see access time but why should it if mounted with noatime? Or maybe it depends on the type of filesystem (I`m using XFS)?EDIT: Looks the answer is [URL]htmlIf a file system has been mounted with this option, reading accesses to the file system will no longer result in an update to the atime information associated with the file like we have explained above. The importance of the noatime setting is that it eliminates the need by the system to make writes to the file system for files which are simply being read. Since writes can be somewhat expensive, this can result in measurable performance gains. Note that the write time information to a file will continue to be updated anytime the file is written to.
