Maximum filesystsem / filesystem tool sizes? Does anyone know anything about very big disks? I have a Linux system with a large SCSI array connected. This is displayed by the array as two 2.4TB disks. Linux sees /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. These seem ok: [root(a)example eng]# /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 2098.1 GB, 2098118787072 bytes 255 he... 1 Apr 2010 02:32
Boot into installation image from running system? Hi, I'm not sure whether this is a silly question or not :-) Does anyone here know if it is possible to boot a new kernel and initrd from a running Linux system, rather than from a system's boot rom? Or perhaps to invoke Grub from the running system, giving it a boot command line, and having it completely take ... 2 Mar 2010 05:42
Deleting custom file processing from Nautilus I've been experimenting with using custom commands to open files in Nautilus. I now know how to define a custom command but I notice that there is no way to remove them from the list or to edit broken ones.

coLinux Anyone using / used coLinux and got any comments on reliability? I'm pretty happy using Cygwin, but every now and then there's a package that needs compiling from source or isn't quite as up-to-date as a native Linux package would be, so thought coLinux would be another option. (I've got images inside Sun Virtua... 26 Feb 2010 16:28

Seaeching by message content I currently use knode as I am right now for news group operations but I sometimes want to search for something that may already have been asked. I seem to remember using something that would search for content but it may have been as far back as CompuServe. Does anyone use a reader that permits this? ... 25 Feb 2010 08:02
Accelerating swapless machines I have a Dell Mini 9 netbook running Ubuntu, with 1GB RAM. Most of the time when I have more than one application running it is tediously slow, to the point that I sometimes have to wait seconds to switch windows. For example, at the moment I have: top - 13:51:43 up 4 days, 2:09, 5 users, load average: 3.32,... 3 Mar 2010 19:48 |
