| kaiyang | what's dd? |
| connecta | (currently connected to your computer i mean) |
| tanto | wolfy: awesome, thanks i already did the network file but i haven't rebooted |
| un1x01d | kaiyang, man dd |
| tanto | i didn't realize hostname could also set the hostname |
| wolfy | tanto: no need to reboot |
| connecta | dd is a disk writing utility which can write to disks at a very low level |
| tanto | yeah |
| wolfy | unless you modify the kernel |
| un1x01d | cent os 5 install finished sexytime! |
| wolfy | by accident ( :) ) at startup time /etc/init.d/network is called, which in turns calls hostname |
| brianre001 | okay its telling me to delete rm -vf /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so* but I dont see anything like that on the long list it just gave me the x11r6 rather |
| trend | how can I tell what filesystem type my external hd is? |
| connecta | does anyone know a command that shows a list of connected devices that can be mounted, like, shows /dev/sda1 and /dev/hda0 before you mount them |
| un1x01d | trend, fdisk -l /dev/... |
| kaiyang | mondo seems good too... |
| trend | hmm.. i guess -T would do it for df |
| un1x01d | connecta, fdisk -l /dev/// |
| trend | hmm.. it is vfat |
| un1x01d | vfat - prolly a usb stick |
| trend | is there anyway to convert it without loosing data to ext2 or 3? |
| kaiyang | either dd+bacula or mondo... these are the current 2 solution i got from here thanks. |
| un1x01d | trend, copy the data and mkfs -t ext3 it |
| connecta | un1x01d : [root@localhost floppy]# fdisk -l /dev/// Returned: last_lba(): I don't know how to handle files with mode 41ed |
| kaiyang | how about amanda... that's a inbuilt in centos? |
| connecta | is it a lower case L or a capital i |
| un1x01d | lower case L amd you have to say the device nam |
| trend | and is ext3 the way to go?. or what wold work on os x? |
| un1x01d | eor you just want to view them all ? connecta, just do $ fdisk -l |
| connecta | ok i'll try, the reason is I often want to see what devices are currently connected and detected, but possibly not mounted hrmn, that helps a little, but theres got to be something else |
| un1x01d | lsusb ? |
| connecta | like showing a complete listing of all things that are /dev |
