View 1 Replies View RelatedI work for a company that builds computers for military applications. We have a unit that is using Redhat Enterprise Linux Server using a CF Card for the HDD. The CF Cards were prepared for us by the customer. We just got them in however, upon testing it will start to boot but it looks for a serial ID plug which we do not have, so when it does not find it, the TERM signal is sent and it shuts down. so we emailed them for instructions on how to get around that. they told us to remove a certain file using the rm command.
The only problem is that we still cannot get redhat to boot, therfore I cannot get to the linux terminal to even use the rm command.
Is there any way I can rm <file> in the GRUB or any other way?

I have accidentally removed my apache2 startup file /etc/init.d/apache2 using rm /etc/init.d/apache2 command.
How can I get that back?
Consider the following:
mount | grep home
type reiserfs
rm -Rf /home/user/over_9000_little_and_big_super_secret_files/
# oops, I should have shredded it instead.
How can I properly and securely "initialize free space" to ensure that no additional info can be restored restored by digging in free space (Preferrably without stopping or disturbing the filesystem much.) Is dd if=/dev/frandom of=/home/qqqqq really secure for this (tails, journal, etc.)?

Is there any program/script that can create a torrent file for each file in a directory? I have been looking all over but can't seem to find anything of the sort. I have 700+ files I REALLY don't want to make my self.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to create a logon script (or somesuch) that creates a file (if it doesn't already exist) and checks the file for some info otherwise. If it finds a given trigger in that file, it logs into a local database and does some operations.
Now my problem isn't with creating that file or even getting it to function as a logon script -- it's with permissions. After the logon script creates the file, I want that user to have read access on it ONLY. Further, I don't want to give the user any kind of root access so that they could do the database operations in question or chown/chmod the file.
What's the best practice here? I'm noticing that whenever the script runs (in .bashrc right now) the script runs with the current user's permissions. Ideally, I'd like to make it so the login script can run at a higher level of permissions, (higher than the user has). Is this even possible? What's the best way to do this?

I was just testing specifying limit on file size to a user and have added the following to /etc/security/limits.conf bob soft fsize 100 This basically should have said not to allow bob to create anyfile greater than 100Kb in size.
But the interesting thing is, if bob already has any file which is greater than 100Kb in size, it even doesn't allow to log him into the system both from console and SSH. Also nothing is logged in logs.. How do I configure it so that, bob can login to the system even though he has any file greater than 100Kb (but doesn't allow him to create file which are greater than 100Kb) ??
I want to back up an entire Linux system on a 3Tb external Western DIgital USB3 drive.
I do not want to reformat it from what it is, apparemtly NTFS.
Is there a utility that can act like a file manager like mc, that will permit me to create an ever expanding (to 320Gb) TAR file that will retain all the original file permissions. I have had nothing but disappointment with Linux backup utils with a FAT32 external drive, and I am concerned if I just try an tar the entire drive at once, with around 3 million files, I might run out of memory.

View 3 Replies View RelatedEverything in Linux is a file, right? And everything can be represented by a file? Is there some way I could create a block device file that represents (i.e., provides an interface to) this image file? If so, then I could use fdisk on the device file to split it into partitions, format the partitions, and then mount them as directories. I could create a file system within a file system, which would be fun.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo in older versions (even in 9.x) of Ubuntu, file-roller offered a "create archive" option when right clicking on a file. Now, in 10.10, that option seems to be gone.I mean, it was never a great option to begin with since it only appeared when selecting multiple files (not with a single file)... but this is much worse. I need a quick and efficient way to create a .rar or .zip file. Right now I have to open file-roller, drag the files in, and then create the archive.
