mounting a .iso image? ... missing man page

2013-10-09 Thread Gary Aitken
For some strange reason, my 9.1 system seems to be missing the section 1 man page for tar, although everything else seems to be there. I have an iso9660 image of 9.1 release which I tried to mount to copy the missing file, but that didn't work (can't find the CD I burned...). #mount -t cd9660

curious -- what's /tmp/fam-root ?

2012-11-14 Thread Gary Aitken
Just curious; what's the purpose of /tmp/fam-root, and what is written there? Is it simply where the os writes stuff which is sensitive, and putting it in a rwx-- directory avoids potential security issues regarding file access? or is there more to it than that?

rm -rf and flags (schg, sunlnk)

Assuming one makes a mirror of a file system for backup purposes, then renames the mirror and makes another one, then attempts to remove the original using rm -rf, the rm will fail if any of the files have the schg or sunlnk bits set. Is there an easy way around this problem other than traversing

Looks like /var/log has most of it. If you're running X, check for a huge Xorg.0.log. I had this problem as a result of a radeon graphics card that would get into some kind of reinitialization loop. In any case, look at the files in /var/log On 11/02/12 13:05, Eugen Konkov wrote: how to find
