A guess is that the /boot that is booting the machine is not the same /boot is the current booted OS has mounted at /boot. So all updates are being put on a /boot that is not being used to boot the machine, and you need to find the actual /boot that is booting the machine and then do a dnf

Re: auditing network traffic

if you have sar installed (package is sysstat) then sar -n DEV will give you 10 minute network counters, it will give you 1 minute data if you turn sar's sample timer down to 1 minute. snmp if you router supports it, and I have also ssh'ed into my router ever X minutes and collected its network

Re: resize

-l does not umount a filesystem if files are open on it. Not sure -l should ever be used, one needs to determine what is using the filesystem and a normal umount needs to be done. So even though it does not show in df and /proc/mounts the filesystem is still mounted which is why resize2fs says

Re: Boot to RAM

You probably just need to determine where the temp data is going and put a tmpfs mount in that location so it uses ram for the temporary files you don't need to keep. Any static files that are only being read from the usb device on boot up will quickly get cached into ram assuming you have enough

Re: Stuck Kernel Version.....

To have a stuck kernel version, then what you have mounted at /boot is not what is booting your machine. You need to find the real /boot where ever it is hiding and mount it at /boot (and update /etc/fstab) and then do a "dnf reinstall" on each of the kernels you want to work, and then reboot

Re: Mounting internal disk spins up connected external USB disks

If anything runs any lvm commands it will basically run a pvscan internally and then that will also spin it up (I believe if not using lvmetad as with lvmedad it only does a single device at a time). On Tue, Mar 19, 2019 at 5:47 AM Ed Greshko wrote: > > On 3/19/19 6:35 PM, Patrick O'Callaghan

Re: Fedora Not Detecting RTL8821CE wifi adapter

You are also going to have to be prepared when a kernel change happens and causes it to no longer compile to download an updated version that has the correct code for the new kernel. I have a RTL8814au and it also is not in the kernel and every so often you will need to go back to the last kernel

Did you check the kernel command line in grub.cfg to see what root= is set to? That is the only place I know specifically references what to look for on the switch root. On Tue, Jun 4, 2019 at 10:41 AM stan wrote: > > Hi, > I'm trying to clone an existing Fedora install, just a / partition and

Re: Cloning of existing fedora install failing at switch root. Does systemd keep system state?

the right libraries with the right checksums that the ldd says it needed. It sounds like once you get the chroot . to work things may work right. Something odd happened with the rsync I would suspect. On Wed, Jun 5, 2019 at 4:33 PM stan wrote: > > On Wed, 5 Jun 2019 10:14:01 -

My 5500 appears to still be getting signal locks on the channels it should on kernel 5.x and F29. I tested with dtvscan and dtvsignal that came with the card and seems to work for all dvb cards and was authored by by Jack Kelliher . On Tue, May 14, 2019 at 12:08 PM D wrote: > > I have been

Re: Is pcHDTV 5500 still supported...

I am using the default driver built into the kernel and it works. I compiled those files a really long time ago, and they still work o f29 for me, but it sounds like they may not recompile with current headers with no changes. On Tue, May 14, 2019 at 11:34 PM D wrote: > > Thanks for your reply.
