I'm trying to mount some file systems in the /sys directory with the nosuid option. Upon executing the command:
mount -o remount,nosuid /sys/kernel/security
or
remount nosuid /sys/kernel/security
/etc/mtab will show that they have been applied, but upon restart of the machine, the nosuid option is removed.
Soooo, the question is why are they being removed? Can /sys files carry the nosuid option?
I have these file systems mounted without the nosuid options set.
debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)
/dev/mapper/KusuVolGroup00-DEPOT on /depot type ext3 (rw)
/dev/mapper/KusuVolGroup00-HOME on /home type ext3 (rw)
/dev/mapper/KusuVolGroup00-VAR on /var type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sdb1 on /home1 type ext3 (rw)
Do I set the option in the fstab files or set the files directly.
when I go to download 11.3 I am presented with the installation medium for a DVD installation with a button that says download DVD. Should there be an option to download an ISO option for a CD installation on this page along with the DVD version? Some of our older machines can only read CD's with a max size of 500+ megs.

I would like to use the libpam-mount module. do you guys know, how make it run? I am using 9.10 both server and desktop and the most recent pam-mount module. I know that the /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml needs to be edited. I added the following to it:

<volume user="username" fstype="cifs" server="IP-Server" path="/home/username" mountpoint="/media/server" />
In system info my ext4 /home directory shows total space of 51.7 gigs with 51.5 gigs available.
My ext4 / directory shows total space 19.7 gig and 7.7 gig free. Whenever I install anything it goes to the / (as guess root directory) In Dolphin it shows my /home directory but anything installed under that seems like it installs on the / directory.
If I have 51 gigs free where is it and how do I gain access?
rm [non-empty directory's name] -r
....and not....
rmdir [non-empty directory's name]-i
..or..
rmdir [non-empty directory's name} -ir

I just downloaded and innstalled 11.2 about 6 weeks ago, and Have updated several times since... I was very frustrated and found that I did in fact have the proper pernissions to delete this directory. I checked multiple forums for much longer than I would like to admit, and they kept telling me to use (in the end) the same commands.....I finally stumbled upon a forum that again told me to use rm [nonempty directory's name] ...and viola
my /bash can't be outdated can it
Since I updated from 11.2 to 11.4 an annoying bug seems to have crept into the shell.
If I type the following and hit tab I get:
cd ~/.kde
.kde/ .kde// .kde4/ .kde4//
i.e. each directory has a / and // version for some reason. I have to enter a / and hit tab again to proceed.
If however I type the following and hit tab I get:
cd /home/tux/.kde
.kde/ .kde4/
i.e. correct as expected.
The ls command does not do this.
This seems like a bug.

I have been burning a few CDs. When I inserted the blank CD I was queried what to set the default action as, and I selected 'Do Nothing'.

I'd like to manually mount my nfs share mount -t nfs ipaddress:/nfsshare /mnt/nfsfolder but would like to include a userid and password option via command (not via fstab), since the nfs share has different credentials than the server where I'm mounting to. What's the proper switch to include in this line?

And plus, I am finding opensuse a better option for me than ubuntu So im wondering what i should do regarding these 2 systems here s some option
1). Install openSuse 11.4, and install VirtualBox and use windows server 2008 R2 on vbox
2). Install windows server 2008 R2 and then install openSuse alongside with it
3). Install windows server 2008 R2 and install openSuse in virtualBox

I have a SONY PCG-R505TE laptop with an external CD/DVD, it connects via what I think is a PCMCIA card, the drive came with the laptop and functions fine. I currently have Windows XP running on this laptop, but it's very slow.I downloaded openSUSE-11.3-GNOME-LiveCD-i686.iso and sucessfully burned it to a CD.I have the laptop bios set to boot from CD, and it appears to be doing that no problem. When it boots I first see the welcome screen, then the openSUSE Installer, whether I select the Live (GNOME) option, or the Installation.. it loads the kernel, and then loads the KIWI boot systemit is on the third event, waiting for CD/DVD dvices to appear... that something seems to fail... I then see Failed to detect CD/DVD or USB drivethen a rebootexception and it reboots in 120 seconds.

I am installing a new hard drive to replace my old one that contained the /var and /home directories. I don't want to copy the whole directories, especially from home because there is a lot I don't need in it.What I need to do is set the mount points for the two partitions I have made on the new drive to /var and /home, but it will not let me do this with the other drive still running. I can't unmount /var and /home while the computer is running, and I would guess that having two drives with /var and /home on them would not work.
So, how can I set the mount points on the new drive and copy the files I need from the old to the new one? It would seem that would require two /home partitions to be mounted at the same time, but I don't think that is possible. I am sure there is some way, probably many ways knowing Linux so please,
I have two non-system drives with archive files. Each drive is formatted with one primary partition only, occupying all the drive space. In each drive there will be a number of directories with files in them, like this:
Drive 1:
/directory1/directoryXXX/files
/directory2/directoryXXX/files
/directory3/directoryXXX/files
Drive 2:
/directory4/directoryXXX/files

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a dual boot system with OpenSUSE 11.3 and Windows XP. I would like to have OpenSUSE mount the windows drives (C,D,E) only when one particular user logs in, and not be accessible for the other users. I have tried playing with the fstab options (do not mount at startup + user can mount, creating a new user group 'mounters' and replacing the 'users' in th the fstab line with 'mounters' etc.) but this is not doing what I want.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI haven't used encryption previously but through that for better security, I would enable it on one of my disks. I went though the process and when done, copied data to the device etc. My house had a powercut the other day and I noticed that the device did not mount automatically upon restart. Unfortunately, I have forgotten the de-cryption password and have lost access to my data. Is there a way of either recovering my password or getting the partition to mount without the password so I can access the data, copy/back up and then re-create the partition without encryption?

View 8 Replies View RelatedUnder Windows XP in the C Drive, I've downloaded PLoP boot manager to force the USB boot. I've tried about a thousand things and I get a different error message at different times from each attempt. I've got all of those documented, and I imagine I'll need to post them. I'm just not doing it quite yet as sometimes I give too much information and I really feel that I'm being an idiot here, missing something simple.
I'd like to install openSUSE onto the D Drive, using the USB and PLoP to boot it. I've downloaded openSUSE's torrents for all iso's (Net, DVD and LiveKDE). In order to get those files onto the USB, I first format to FAT32. I've tried UNetBootIn, LiLi, and mounting the iso on Daemon Tools and then copy-paste into the hard drive. None of these work and they all give different errors.Is this even possible, am I wasting my time? This is getting incredibly frustrating as I've been at it for nearly a week.
