When you login as one person, and use a pulse audio daemon, if another user is logged in at the same time as you, that other person can not use (or see at all) a pulse daemon, I think even sound icon (speaker) is not available. It is possible that this is the similar thing, that when one person is using it, no other can access it. Good point but that does not apply here. She was logged on and I was logged off.

Greetings,

1. How to detect removal of external usb hard disk within a script and

You should know what the path to the external storage is when you have
it mounted. Just check the path to see if the directory exists:
if ( -d Path to a directory on the mounted volume ) {
Run Your Backup;
} else {
Take Some Other Action;

This is perl script, but the same concept will work with shell script

Type linux rescue at the boot: prompt. Mount all filesystems in read-write mode. The only CD images I can find for CentOS are the Live CD and Minimal Install CD neither of which allows me to boot into a rescue session. Maybe I could use a CentOS 5 boot disk?

rpmfusion.org/Configuration/ and from there to downloads for the free,
nonfree, and epel packages (along with a caveat that tells you -- *after*

The display on the T30 has given trouble recently; while it's
working, I tried with packagekit to eliminate the fusions while keeping
epel (actually,EPEL; it seems to matter). Packagekit told me that I had
to remove the repository configurations along with the fusions -- a thing
I'd've done before if I could, whereupon I'd've started over, with EPEL
first.
I approved that, then tried to refresh my sources in
packagekit in order to get the fusions back. This put me through some
tedious juggling of non-commutative commands.
At the end of them, despite a lot of fussing with packagekit and
some logging in and out, plus a reboot or two, I was still getting error

This has been expected for quite some time ... see this thread: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2013-June/135238.html The good news is, I have a version-28 chromium build that works: http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/chromium/6/ The current version there is 28.0.1500.36 (the version one before the current 28.0.1500.45 that is released now as stable). I will kick off the latest stable build and update that location when it completes .. likely 4-5 hours. To get the pdfviewer and flash player, see the first link above. NOTE: I will build the latest stable version of chromium as long as it will build on the CentOS-6.x glibc/gcc combination. At some point in the future, google may produce code that no longer builds on CentOS-6.x ... if/when that happens, obviously these updates will stop at that time. The current 28 and 29 versions do build on CentOS-6.x. Hey Johnny, thank you for the excellent work.

Re: [CentOS] Backup of large filesystems 500GB

My current server is running CentOS 6.3 with paired 1TB drives in a RAID1 configuration. It works well. One filesystem is very large, 500GB, and contains numerous large files: SQL, docs, church libraries in ebook and digital form, plus stored videos of church services. My problem is that I've found no means of backing up that file system. Dump and tar both error out as exceeding the maximum size. Neither will backup just the video directory (the largest) even with compression. Backup will be to an external (USB) removable HD. Can any suggest a prog or a method to back up this filesystem? mw I use rsync to make a daily back up of my data on a second drive that is not normally mounted except when the backup is running. The drive is inside the same box so this backup is still subject to loss if the box is stolen or destroyed. I really should be backing up to an off site location. If you have a fire, flood, or other general disaster your local backup on an external drive isn't going to buy you anything unless you store the external drive off site. -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Dell R320 server

Sure there is the front panel - but no-one is there ... Is that reported to linux/centos some way? This is my first R320. First, the tiny LCD screen will most certainly tell you if a PSU is failing - it will go from the normal blue background to orange, and tell you which PSU. It will also say if the RAID controller is having problems. The disks themselves are another issue. Find and d/l MegaRaid, which will let you manage the RAID (I don't know which PERC this has - we have 4xx, 6xx, and 8xx servers) if it's a PERC 6 or 7, while the system is running, without having to reboot and use the firmware software. mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
