Re: [ilugd] usb-disk in happy hunting grounds. please help
Did you try connecting your device to a machine which has usb 2.0 based bus ? Try connecting to a non legacy hardware, your drive could be in pretty much good shape or may require repartitioning at max. Thanks vivek for the response. alas! i just got fedup with the whole thing, decided to reformat the whole hardisk to erase my data, and am returning the hardisk under warranty. any hardisk that makes mechanical clicking grunting sounds i'd not like to keep. will try again with the fresh replacement. thanks vivek and vikas for your help :-) niyam ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - September 28-29, 2007 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
Re: [ilugd] Bug in RPM or ??
Which version of RPM and Yum are you using? $ rpm -q yum yum-3.2.1-1.fc7 You should consider updating to yum-3.2.2-3. There were a lot of bugfixes recently.

Re: [ilugd] backing up large weekly data
--- Linux Lingam [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: dear all, what are the best options for backing up 40 to 60 gb of data per month? dvd discs have come down in price, but some of the data-files are individually larger than 10gb (home video) and cutting and storing sliced versions across discs is rather inelegant. Take a harddrive of double or more capacity than your total data and do a weekly rsync of all your data. Simple :-) If you tell us the layout for your data (or data partition) we can write a script for you to automate the backup. regards VK Engineers normally have problem with every solution.
