There really isn't such thing as a read-only file in linux. If a file is open for writing by another program you can still write to it though you normally should not to avoid data corruption. Also if your doing a local copy I suggest not using the -z option as using -z will likely dramatically slow down the sync process. Only use -z if your copying over a slow network link. Also if your doing multiple syncs and want to keep them in sync I suggest you check out the --delete option as well. nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

You don't, it would be odd :) What model of mobo?

[CentOS] SATA errors on CentOS 5.2
We have a new machine here that we are trying to use for CentOS as a
base for our primary application. Although I do not have direct
access to the physical machine, I have begun looking into it remotely
(via ssh) to see why we are getting the following errors periodically:
/var/log/messages.1-Nov 1 18:19:00 Centos5 kernel: hda: status

I think it is the wrong answer to any possible problem (compared to changing DNS or whatever it takes to make the connection request go to the right place on its own).

FWIW, here is a section from /etc/X11/xorg.cong on a working 22 inch widescreen workstation running 1680x1050. We have around 20 machines, all workstations, some 32 bit some 64 bit, all running CentOS 5.2 on Asus hardware with various flavors of Nvidia graphics adapters, and all are 22 inch widescreen Viewsonic monitors. Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Unknown" ModelName "Unknown" HorizSync 30.0 - 110.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 150.0 Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "nvidia" With all due respect, to suggest that CentOS is unsat for desktop use is simply incorrect. All servers(no GUI) and workstations we have run CentOS. Only for laptops do we consider Ubuntu LTS. Cheers, B.J.

Re: [CentOS] mysql 4 > 5 export import issue
The characters look binary, so this might be a problem of conversion latin1 -> utf8 or vice versa. Try dumping with: mysqldump --default-character-set=binary ... >/path/to/dumpfile And loading the dump with: mysql --default-character-set=binary ... >/path/to/dumpfile Let us know if that works. HTH, thanks for all the suggestions - in the end i opted for rsyncing the datafiles for this db and for me this worked fine. Not the 'correct' way but one that worked OK at the time. thanks ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Only OpenSuSE 11 works. Too bad that printing doesn't work in OpenSuSE 11 anymore My take: the X-server makes some assumptions that are not true for widescreen hardware and throws away the modelines it gets (because it thinks they won't work). Seems to have been fixed with later X releases (or patches). For desktop-use, there's little alternative to Ubuntu/OpenSuSE/Fedora and re-installing every couple of months (and living with new and surprising bugs every release).

[CentOS] rpm spec question
Hi I am trying to package a bunch of files so that i can deploy them with rpm - Its prtty much just a case of dumping some files on the filesystem. I achieve this with rpm without issue however when i remove the rpm from the system it also removes the dir that contains the files, even though i dont specify this in the %postun. Is there a way to tell rpm to NOT remove files/dir's that it creates unless i request it? thanks ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] [rsync -avz] total size/disk usage difference between source and destination
Hi, For what it's worth, I always specify my source and target paths as absolute, ending in a slash (/). This has saved me from sneaky mistakes many a time. Next to that, I don't know if your target filesystem is supposed to be an exact copy of the source, but you did not specify --delete which results in rsync not touching any files in the target filesystem that do not match files in the source (ie. file foo exists in target and stays there. with --delete it would be removed). I would secify a sync between an target and source filesystem as follows: rsync -avPH --delete /sourcefs/directoryA/ /targetfs/directoryA/ I've seen differences in fs sizes when the blocksize or type of filesystem differ from one-another. Always wondered what the exact underlying reason for it was (ie. I don't have a more exact answer ;-) Kind regards, Rubin.

Why the difference > between FC4 and CentOS, I can't guess. Comparing the CentOS and Fedora Xorg.0.log I found that the actual modelines are just slightly different. Assuming that this difference might actually be important, I took the known-to-work modeline from Fedora's Xorg.0.log, copy-paste it in CentOS xorg.conf and forcing X to use that. But the result is the same. I will also try to find modeline data in the monitor manual, but I doubt that it is not going to be any different than DDC values that X autodetects. > I don't have the URL, but some time ago I googled and found a very > detailed description of the modes, their effects, "blanking" (the "black > bands") and the relationship of all those.

I'm using the > older driver now (standard CRT though, not a newer LCD/TFT wide-aspect > screen) and it works flawlessly. Yes, I have tried the package from rpmforge, but it behaves the same way. But the problem with binary drivers is that my motherboard has a bug in the bios which autodetects and forces AGP to 8X, which in turn doesn't work for some reason. This is the same for both Fedora and CentOS, and I gave up on 3d acceleration on this hardware a long time ago. But this resolution problem is related to nv driver, present in CentOS while absent in Fedora. Therefore I believe it is unrelated to hardware issues. Thanks for the help!

Re: [CentOS] Regd: SeLinux Configuration

If i am wrong please guide me where can i add the "selinux=1 enforcing=1" to the kernel line in my grub.conf file Regards -S.Balaji Did you try my previous suggestion of adding "selinux=1 enforcing=1" to the kernel line in your grub.conf? While you're at it .. make sure that you're editing /boot/grub/grub.conf .. most people use /etc/grub.conf .. which is a symlink to /boot/grub/grub.conf .. if the symlink is broken and /etc/grub.conf is an independent file, you can edit it all day and not affect grub. Same goes for /etc/selinux/config which is the real file, and /etc/sysconfig/selinux which is what most people edit.
