Re: [ilugd] How to increase /root partition size in Ubun tu 8.04
Do you recommend putting / on a LVM device? No. The LVM partitions I maintain are: /home /home/music /home/video /usr /usr/local /tmp /var /root (swap) No, /boot should not be on LVM. and that is the catch. /boot in most installations is not on a separate partition. I personally hate auto-partitioning things (well, for that matter even auto-installing things). Don't bother with them... even if you want to, I'm sure most of these CD installers come with manual partitioning options. I had that for a couple of years and it was more trouble than it was worth. Primary issue is with the default initrd generated when a new kernel is installed -- had to do all sorts of obscure initrd configurations to make sure it booted up fine on an LVM. I've been using LVM for over four years now and it works perfectly. I can add and remove physical hard drives whenever I want without worrying about repartitioning.

Re: [ilugd] How to increase /root partition size in Ubun tu 8.04
Hi I have a system which was dual boot and had the following configuration /dev/sda1 NTFS /dev/sda2 NTFS /dev/sda3 linux /dev/sda4 extended /dev/sda5 lvm The filesystem got crashed, now i am trying to recover it without corrupting windows partition. I booted the system in rescue mode and mounted the linux filesystem which was on lvm in the following way... bash$ mkdir /new bash$ mount /dev/mapper/VG00/LogVol00 Plaese help me with the lvm concepts, so that I can understand and resolve the problem.

[ilugd] Fwd: [FSF] FSF Settles Suit Against Cisco
[Good news: Cisco has agreed to comply with the licences of FOSS they use in their Linksys products, and now it should be easier to customise images for your routers -- Raju] -- Forwarded Message -- Subject: [FSF] FSF Settles Suit Against Cisco Date: Wednesday 20 May 2009 From: Brett Smith br...@fsf.org To: info-pr...@gnu.org, info-...@gnu.org BOSTON, Massachusetts, USA -- Wednesday, May 20, 2009 -- The Free Software Foundation (FSF) and Cisco Systems, Inc. are pleased to announce that they have reached a joint agreement. Under the agreement, the FSF has agreed to dismiss its lawsuit against Cisco. Cisco has agreed to appoint a Free Software Director for Linksys, a subsidiary of Cisco, to supervise Linksys' compliance with the requirements of free software licenses such as the GPL (the GNU General Public License). The Free Software Director will report periodically to the FSF regarding Linksys' compliance efforts. Cisco has further agreed to take certain steps to notify previous recipients of Linksys products containing FSF programs of their rights under the GPL and other applicable licenses, to publish a licensing notice on the Linksys website, and to provide additional notices in a separate publication. In addition, Cisco will continue to make the complete and corresponding source code for versions of FSF programs used with current Linksys products freely available on its website. Cisco will also make a monetary contribution to the FSF. The parties recognize Cisco's ongoing obligations under the GPL and other free software licenses. The FSF will continue to independently monitor Linksys' compliance with these licenses, and work with Linksys to resolve any new issues that may arise. We are glad that Cisco has affirmed its commitment to the free software community by implementing additional measures within its compliance program and dedicating appropriate resources to them, further reassuring the users' freedoms under the GPL, said Peter Brown, Executive Director of the FSF. Our agreement results in making all of the relevant source code available in the fastest way possible. --- -- Raj Mathurr...@kandalaya.org http://kandalaya.org/ GPG: 78D4 FC67 367F 40E2 0DD5 0FEF C968 D0EF CC68 D17F PsyTrance Chill: http://schizoid.in/ || It is the mind that moves ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
Re: [ilugd] Undelete in Linux
Hi Chirag This looks great. But can you please provide a download link for the binary/tarball etc? foremost is not exactly a new tool. It was originally made by the United States Air Force Office of Special Investigations and The Center for Information Systems Security Studies and Research , who have made it available as a free software. Its one of the few forensic tools available for linux which of course is used for recovering files. Many distros (including Debian) provide it as part of their packages.
