SL 5.4 - XFS project quota - XFS_QUOTAON: Invalid argument
Hi all, I have posted this a few weeks ago on the XFS mailing list, but did not receive an answer. So I'm trying here. We have an XFS filesystem on SL 5.4 with pquota accounting and enforcement. It was working well, but recently I had to disable enforcement for a short time. Now I want to switch it back on, but I get the error XFS_QUOTAON: Invalid argument. Does anyone know, what to do? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.

udev rule to name USB disks after their serial number
We have a process here were users must push files onto USB disks. The user logs in remotely to a machine which may have many USB disks attached and he/she knows the serial number of the disk to write to. In trying to do away with some complex, hacky scripts I'm trying to udev-ise this. Ie. when a USB disk is plugged into the machine a symlink to it is made that is /dev/disknumber-123456 where '123456' is the serial number of the disk. My udev rule is: KERNEL==sd*, SUBSYSTEMS==scsi, SYMLINK+=disknumber-%E{serial} It can create devices with symlink '/dev/disknumber-' but the substitution of the ATRR{serial} bit seems to be impossible to get working. The man page is usual includes no examples which might actually give me the context I need to properly understand the 'printf-like substitution' syntax that the developers are talking about.

Tim Edwards Tim, I think you are confusing sysfs with environment variables. the %E{key} is used for environment variables. The serial number is a SYSFS attribute. Try changing %E{serial} to %s{serial} and see if it works. Cheers, Mark -- Mr. Mark V. Stodola Digital Systems Engineer National Electrostatics Corp. P.O.

SL5.4 and Asus eee S101 netbook
I've installed SL5.4 on an ASUS eee S101 netbook that my lab has purchased. Reviews say Fedora 10 and Ubuntu 9.10 work flawlessly (Ubuntu). http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220595 I usually use SL, so I've installed 5.4. lscpi indicates that the ethernet controler is Atheros (AR8121 ...) and wireless is atheros (AR928X). There are no atheros entries in the other card adaptor lists in the network configuration submenus. So, neither the ethernet card nor wireless adaptors are recognized? The README file from downloading atheros driver from madwifi shows latest download is 2/08. README says lspci should show it as unknown and a 0x168x vendor ID. lspci -v indicates both ethernet (8324) and wireless (1a3b:1067) are unknown devices. I'm guessing madwifi is not going to not work. Looks like I need special software. For lab usage, I don't need networking. It would be nice to update software etc. I'd install ubuntu if it gave me networking capability and which is not available via current RHEL5 SL distro. thoughts? Bill Lutter

Fwd: Re: SL5.4 and Asus eee S101 netbook
I've installed the suggested kernel kernel-2.6.18-189.el5.jwltest.105.i686.rpm. This may be of help for the wireless (ath9k). http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k/RHEL5 No go. My supervisor prefers the netbook not have internet capability, so not an issue. I will provide this feedback. The wireless adaptor in network configuration now is identified as atheros AR928X. It is unknown still in lspci output. Starting the device via network configuration menus yields a siocsifflags unknown error 132. Or, sudo ifconfig wlan0 up SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132 Ubuntu forums suggest rfkill. I surmise rfkill is an ubuntu hack that kills wifi drivers. Lots of web exchanges on this. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/464559 Thanks for the suggestions, Bill Lutter ---BeginMessage--- William Lutter wrote: I've installed SL5.4 on an ASUS eee S101 netbook that my lab has purchased.
