By the way. If you would like I can happily send you a brief reading list ‎if you want to get started with Perl 5. I just need to know if you already know any other languages so I can send you the right list. For example if you are already a C++ programmer you only need to read 1 very short

Jdow, Why are you looking at that‎ for root kit prevention? It's a very old fashion approach, I would use the RPM's verify  command or one of the many filesystem  check sum tools available for that instead. Either one can tell you if ‎any critical binaries or libraries have been compromised

It always uses the catalog, even though you are doing full dumps it updates the catalog so you can do incremental in the future. It also knows where the backups were stored and where to restore them by default.   Original Message   From: ToddAndMargo Sent: Sunday, May 15, 2016 04:16 To:

Sounds like your hard drive or the controller are having issues‎.  By any chance is/var‎ on sda. XFSdump keeps a catalog in /var/lib/xfs which is used for incremental backups. I know this because about 3 or 4 years ago I had to file a bug ticket with Red Hat for RHEL 6 about improper selinux

Yes that is most likely your issue. In theory I may have a work around for you‎. Although I have never tried it for this purpose. This depends on your card a bit if you have a higher end USB3 PCI card then it will have an individual root hub for each port. In that case each one will show up in

The reason for the small /boot is since the introduction of dracut you can now use a shockingly small ‎kernel because the initrd is now customized to your box and less modules need to be compiled in too. That said that is a bit small but you can override it it just takes a lot of clicks. As
