[ilugd] single partition across 2 drives

2003-07-27 Thread Arjun Asthana
Hi,
   Can I merge an existing GNU/Linux partition with 3.5 gb of free space on 
another drive? Both of the drives have important data, so, I would not like 
to take risks.
The details of the drives are as follows:-

Drive 1) mount point  /
 fs   Ext3
 where?   /dev/hda2
 free/total space 1.6 gb/7.5 gb
 fstab line   LABEL=/  /  ext3  defaults  1 1
 OS   RHL 7.2
 size per sector  4 kb

Drive 2) mount point  /mnt/hdb1
 fs   fat32
 where?   /dev/hdb1
 free/total space 4.5 gb/9.3 gb
 fstab line   /dev/hdb1  /mnt/hdb1  vfat  noauto,rw,user  0 0
 OS   Win98
 size per sector  8 kb

I will partition the second disk as soon as I get a solution. Because the per 
sector sizes are different, it might not merge.

[ilugd] SCO wants licensing fees from corporate Linux users

SCO wants licensing fees from corporate Linux users

By TODD R. WEISS
JULY 21, 2003

The gloves are now officially off -- all enterprise Linux users have
to pay The SCO Group Inc. new licensing fees to use Linux, or they
could find themselves on the wrong end of a copyright infringement
lawsuit.

That was the ultimatum laid out today by SCO CEO and President Darl
McBride, who said that the $3 billion lawsuit against IBM in March was
apparently just the start of his company's march to defend itself from
what it sees as rampant theft of its Unix System V intellectual
property (IP).

 SCO wants licensing fees from corporate Linux users


uh!!! anyone has some *bsd cds, please?

[just kidding]

but seriously, exchanging some emails with the moderator on the TRON website, 
and he shared with me that TRON's license is like *bsd. wonder if that is the 
reason why it has garnered such a huge marketshare in terms of devices.

meanwhile, back to SCO, any bets on when they are going to lower their 
gunsights from enterprise to govt, education, corporates, SOHO, 
professionals, endu-users, developers . . .?

[ilugd] Re: deltree indos what in linux ?

top :
 Dear Mr.Dey,
  
 I am sorry that I am contacing u offlist for my problem as I hope that
 I wud receipt a prompt reply for the same.
  
 In dos if we wish to remove a  non-empty directory, we may use the
 deltree command. But what is the command for removal of a non-empty
 one in linux. I tried rmdir and rm commands in linux with all their
 available switches but of no avail. It asks for removal of all the
 subdirectories and files individually under the main directory that I
 intend to remove. I find it very irritating, particularly when the
 directory is large one. 
  
 So pl. guide what is Command for removal of a non-empty directory.
 Also pl. provide with Syntax for confirmtion as well as without
 confirmation before removal of a non-empty directory.
  
 Thanks in anticipation

Firstly :- Please do not contact me off list. If you ask some questions
on the list then the subsequent answer may be archived there for future
use by somebody else facing the same problem. In future kindly ask the
questions on the list.

Secondly :- As to your problem , you neglected to mention the
distribution you are using. I am assuming it is RedHat. For deleting
directories recursively you can use rm -rf /path/to/dir. Be careful be
very very careful when playing around with rm -rf. You have been warned.
If you want to delete the directory interactively that is if you want it
to prompt you with a yes/no option before deleting the contents in the
dir then you can use rm -ri /path/to/dir

But if you are using a distro like RedHat the command rm is aliased as
rm -i by default. To get around this you can either put a \ before the
rm command without the quotes of course or you can unalias rm. So to
delete recursively all the directories without prompting

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Knoppix32]#\rm -rf /path/to/dir 
OR
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Knoppix32]#unalias rm; rm -rf /path/to/dir

If you were a normal user RedHat does not alias the rm command then you
can simply use rm -rf. Further help on alias you can get from man
alias it is a bash built in command.

Bye,

2003-07-27 Thread yogesh bansal
Dear Mr. Malkiat,

you may use rm command with switches like:
$ rm -rf dir Name
This removes the directory and any other subdirectory their in and does
it forcefully so it will not ask you for delete confirmation.
