There is a very conspicuous inaccuracy in the output of df. I should mention, that it was noticed to to a sudden change in the amount of space that was left on the backup partition. The df -h command produces the following output.
I have a dual xeon e5420 server w/ 16GB ram running 5.3 x64 that I was trying to partition out in the following configuration:
250GB on / (root) 4.2TB on /home 50GB on /tmp 2GB on swap
The issue is that no matter what size I set the swap space to in anaconda if always shows 8GB when I "df -h". I've tried setting it to 2GB 1GB and 512MB all with the same result.
I don't know how to explain this but the free space indicator in folders shows a different number than in Gparted. The Picture pretty much shows it all.
I am using Ubuntu 11.04 and installed conky; I'm using the configuration attached, but as I do not know very much about it I do not know how to fix this. Every time I start ubuntu, conky shows above all other windows with a transparent space above it; every window I open appears as it is below conky (first image). To fix this I have to open the conky file and save it to reload it and then it stars again as it should (second image). Is there something I have to change in the conky file so whenever I start Ubuntu it shows as the second picture?
I have a lvm with 5 disk, I've been doing some benchmarks on the file-system with this lvm know I would like to remove one pv from the volume, I've tried
Code: # pvmove -v /dev/sde1 Finding volume group "test-vol" No extents available for allocation and also
I am looking for such a tool, very much like the one that is on Windows 7, where you can basically with one glance see how much of a volume is occupied (graphical bar) and that for all mounted volumes. I have been looking for this, but so far I have not found it.Also, important: that it is auto updated. So that it is not like a report that was generated and then does not change anymore, but a live thing
Transmission used to show space remaining on the drive you choose in the add window. Now it doesn't. Was this removed? I LOVED that convenience of not having to go to a separate file browser or terminal to show space. I tried posting at Transmissions forums but it's been 4 days with only 7 views and no reason to bump b/c the forum is so slow I'm still on the front page.
I just used dd to clone a linux partition to a new hard drive, it had 800mb left on the old hard drive, after dd, new hard drive lists 1.29/1.3 terabytes full. Is this what happens by default in dd? How can I fix this?
Lucid on an Acer Travelmate800.Can anyone tell me why I have 0k for swap space? I allocated swap which I can see in my Disk Utility's 'volumes' display.
Logical Memory Space of 4GB is divided in to 3GB User Space and 1GB Kernel Space. Always. Correct?
1. How can we change it? (just changing value of PAGE_OFFSET is okay?)
2. If system have only 256MB of memory (embedded system) and suppose Kernel Modules eat away all the memory during boot. User space will be left will no memory. Is this case possible?
I'm encountering a strange problem. I need to open and forward all UDP and TCP ports related to VoIPtelephony (5000:32000) in the Suse 11.1 server that's acting as router/firewall in our setup. The ports must redirect to a Asterisk server in the local network. (This server has the IP adress 192.168.0.3)I've opened ports in Yast (Firewall>Ports>Advanced) and putted in some masquerading rulesirewall>Masquerading):0/0,192.168.0.3,tcp,5000:31000,5000:310000/0,192.168.0.3,udp,5000:31000,5000:31000when I do a nmap localhost I get:Starting Nmap 4.75 at 2010-01-08 16:52 CETInteresting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1):

Recently I started having this problem where most users on the system are unable to log into the system over SSH. Their user name and password is correct, however it shows them as invalid when they are in fact valid. I've tried changing their password but that didn't work. I also tried deleting their account, as well as their home directory, and then recreating the account, but that didn't work. Only root and perhaps one or two other select accounts are able to log in without problems. I even tried a reboot to see if that would fix it, but as I theorized, it wouldn't. I also checked and ensured their home directory was chowned to them, and that they even had a home directory. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated to help me get this issue resolved. As a dsie note, they are showing up as invalid in /vars/logs/auth.log. Running Debian 5.0 Lenny.
I've installed vsftp as ftp server on CentOS5. vsftpd.conf is unedited, works without change as it was installed (it's a private network on which I'm using anonymous ftp.)For some reason vsftp will not serve some files which I downloaded from another system (using ftp.) The downloaded files simply don't show up at all if I come into vsftp via a browser, for example, and 'get' fails in a command-line ftp client. Other files originating from the local machine are served OK.
If I copy the downloaded file, vsftp shows the copy just fine but not the original; both files are in /var/ftp (the ftp server root.)The downloaded file had group and owner as '65534' so I did chgrp/chown root, but that made no difference. Reboot makes no difference; restarting the client or using a different client machine makes no difference.What am I missing or doing wrong? What doesn't vsftpd like about the downloaded files? This is happening on two separate machines, and I'm very puzzled.
my laptop is running Slackware64 13.0. Today I tried to update to X.org 7.5 (version 1.7.1) from version 1.6.3 shipped with Slackware. I downloaded the relevant source tarballs from www.x.org and compiled them with no errors. The compiled packages are:
My laptop has an NVIDIA graphics card and I'm using the proprietary driver from NVIDIA. Thus I reinstalled the driver after the update and tried to launch X.org with "startx". After a short while the NVIDIA logo appears for some hundred milliseconds and disappears then. But now the screen is blank and it is not possible to switch to another VT via Ctrl+Alt+Fx. But it is possible to login from another computer and restart everything, so that I conclude that the system does not hang.
It is even possible to do work normally with the laptop from remote. If I try to kill the X-server, it ignores SIGTERM and has to be terminated by SIGKILL. But the laptop's screen stays black and empty and does not allow to switch to another VT (chvt terminates with "interrupted system call."). dmesg does not give any errors.

I've been experiencing some home web-server slowdown issues lately, and I wanted to see if it's a problem with the server itself. I'm not sure if this might be the problem, but upon checking netstat -tn, I see over 15 instances of the following:

I have a centOS 5 box with 3ware 8 port raid cards.I run fsck.ext3 -y /dev/sdb1 and it shows as clean.But after writing to the FS for about 2 minutes, it becomes read-only.When I umont -l /data, and run the fsck I get that another program is using the system an I should wait.If I reboot the server , the array comes back as clean.
I am running RedHat 9.0 on a VMware on Window XP, I have bridged the network card eth0 such that I can ping the host machine 192.168.45.67 and the Windows XP machines on my LAN.
I managed to set up the samba server on this Redhat 9.0, And I can see the netbios name on my WindowXP: Rhl machines. Now I want to reach the Windows machines vi sambaclient but I get an Ip address that is not on my network -192.168.24.1.I did not set this IP address.
This is the message I get when I run smbclient so that I can reach windows machine when I am on Redhat:
# smbclient //machine name/name of user on windows machine added interface ip=192.168.45.90 bcast=192.168.45.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Got a positive name query response from 192.168.45.21 (192.168.24.1 192.168.249.1 192.168.45.21 error connecting to 192.168.24.1:139 (Network unreachable) Error connecting to 192.168.24.1 (Network is unreachable) Connection to machine name failed #
My question is Where does 192.168.24.1 IP address come from. Where must I look in order to remove it ( in Linux or Windowx Xp.
I have setup my gmail and yahoo account in evolution. I can see my mails and send mails from evolution. But they(evolution and server) is not synchronized, i.e. if I read a mail in evolution, it still shows as unread in web version. or deleted mail keep coming back unless i delete it from web also.
I am running fedora 8 on a Dell 2950 with a qlogic fibre channel card.is attached to a Dell/clarion AX100.I had a drive assigned to this server which had been working for approximately a year now.Recently during a power failure things turned ugly. Rebooting didn't fix things.I unassigned/reassigned the drive, rebooted, still no good.Funny thing when I unassigned the drive and reboot the system.still see /dev/sdb but no partitions and fdisk -l does not display /dev/sdb.I even did "echo 1 > /sys/block/sdb/device/delete" and the device no longer showed in /dev, but after a reboot it is back.I pulled and reseated the fibre card, same
I am configure one sftp server(openssh) in my linux server. Its working fine. but when i try to connect its shows all folders like root, boot. but i need particular folder only. how to do this. I am using centos5.2
I've got a server running CentOS 4.8 (binary compatible RHEL 4.8 clone) that's decided all the accounts are expired.I've tried this on multiple accounts so far, to no avail.chage -l <username>Shows that the account never expires. In this case the problem was first noticed with the root account, then I tested it with my user account, and got the same answer, the account never expires.For the test I added a crontab to my account, and to roots, ever minute run "whoami"In the log I get (once for each crontab):rond[]: User account has expiredRecycling crond doesn't help, and I can't recycle the box itself as I've got users on it (pounding away at the poor box at that).
Several searches so far have only turned up that locked root accounts (ala debian/ubuntu) can cause this, and check or correct the age of the account using chage.Comparing entries in /etc/shadow to other boxes where everything is kosher doesn't seem to help either: the important bits are identical.

I have a server running Ubuntu that is running out of space. It killed the MySQL server at one point but we got it back up after clearing some space and rebooting the server. However I would like to extend the space we have on the server. Can I connect a USB drive to the server and just us that? The server supports about 8 web developers. My other thought was to add a NAS device to the network and use it. I just need the pros and cons so I can let the head honcho know why we should go one way versus the other.
The current system is running without a gui at this time. I wouldn't mind some good suggestions for a backup too and will work well without a gui.
I have a RHEL server and it's /boot only has 7MB free space on it, 122MB total size. Below is what's in the folder.Is there anything i should do to clean it up?
Before I start a flame war, I'd like to qualify my question with...I have a boatload of ram and a VERY thin install.(CLI openSuse 11.4-64) If I'm running the most baseline, text-only-install...and the whole system install is like 2GB or less, and I have 8GB of ram (which I could easily upgrade to 16). At install time...do I really need a swap partition at all? What purpose could a swap serve if I have that much ram in such a trimmed down environment?
I'm building an Ubuntu 9.10 home server to essentially backup all my PCs to, serve media, and store other large data (I record music and film). Here's what I have as far as storage goes: 4GB CompactFlash: for OS 2x 500GB WD drives: intended for RAID-1 for backup (which I will in turn back to external drive on a weekly basis) 3x TB Hitachi drives: intended for RAID-5 for media and storage
Both RAIDs will be software-driven. Now, a few questions: From what I've read, I can benefit from using LVM on top of the RAID. Is this true, and besides the complexity and potential difficulties in recovery in case of disaster, is there a downside to LVM? Would I benefit at all from using smaller logical volumes on the RAID-5, or should I just make one at the full size of the drive?
Also from what I've read, it seems that XFS may be the best filesystem to use, from a stability and performance standpoint. Should I go that route, then? I suppose that if it IS beneficial to have multiple smaller logical volumes, then there may come a point that I need to shrink and grow these logical volumes, and if that's the case, it appears XFS is out of the question. What's the runner-up; Reiser? I currently have /swap and /home partitions on the CF card. I'd at the very least like to remove the /swap partition and just create a swap file on the RAID-5. Should I move my /home partition to the RAID-5 as well?
