My next question is... what do I do about selinux? I've always disabled it because my system has always complained about something not being right with this file or that file. Well, it you disable the selinux, change something (files, folders) and enable-it back without reseting context on files an folders, probably nothing will work anymore. If selinux is enabled, and something does not work (not just a silly message from audit daemon - something REALLY does not work) just create a custom policy. man audit2allow Gabriel - -- // Gabriel VLASIU // // OpenGPG-KeyID : 0xE684206E // OpenGPG-Fingerprint: 0C3D 9F8B 725D E243 CB3C 8428 796A DB1F E684 206E // OpenGPG-URL: http://www.vlasiu.net/public.key -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFLJ65heWrbH+aEIG4RAqNVAJ4vU3WEKYRip/h3O50Jz71KHO3iJwCcDtZY u6Ky8kyzqN4rmFgiip4eqH4= =BUDU -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Software RAID question
I'm trying to mirror my two disks in my system (F12 x86_64)... I have the following disk partitions Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/md127 7692840508960 6793104 7% / tmpfs 1016196 260 1015936 1% /dev/shm /dev/md1380760 44094316993 13% /boot /dev/sda6 7684844 3956688 3337780 55% /usr /dev/md5 7692776418204 6883800 6% /var /dev/md7 934037448 388908936 497682148 44% /home I am trying to get /dev/sda6 and /dev/sdb6 to become a RAID-1 volume... I have created /dev/md6 as a degraded array and copied everything from /dev/sda6 to /dev/md6 in single user mode (actually booted from the recovery CD) and after mounting both partitions ran find . -depth | cpio --passthrough --reset-access-time --make-directories --preserve-modification-time /mnt2 (/dev/md6 was mounted on /mnt2).
