Re: [newbie] Size
The only tool I know you can use is the linux cd. There are others but they cost money. Put in the cd, turn on, and answer the questions until the partition program comes up. Use that. After it says "partition table of drive hdx has been writen to disk" the partition program will exit and you can reboot without the cd. - Original Message - From: "Michael Falzon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, November 24, 2000 12:35 AM Subject: [newbie] Size > Hi All > If you have set-up a drive ( and as time goes by ) you see that the > drive size is to small can you change it ? > > / has 3.5gb > /home has 4 gb > > i wound like to take some form /home and more it to / > > > Michael Falzon > Gremlin Consultancy P/L > Phone : (+61 03) 9315 3855 > Fax : (+61 03) 9315 1585 > Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > >
Re: [newbie] size of log files
Hi Paul, That was it - I did a 'man logrotate' and got tons of info - the files can be controled based on timing as well as size - very neat.

RE: [newbie] size of log files
Title: RE: [newbie] size of log files This also begs the question, is there a file or files that one should periodically clear out to prevent filling up a disk with garbage? I have found nothing in my reading that says it is necessary, but just maybe I missed it. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of philomena Sent: Monday, November 13, 2000 1:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] size of log files Hi Alan, I will subscribe to that list, but my question is not really a PMFirewall question - its about controlling the size of the system log files - since I saw a syslog.gz , which I know I didn't create, I am assuming there is some system utility that compressed the /var/log/syslog file when it reached some filesize. The same happened with /var/log/messages - there was a messages.gz, which I didn't create. Is there a system parameter or service that monitors and controls the size of specified log files ? If so, I want to set that max file size to something small, so that my system doesn't go haywire while I am workign on the firewall issue.

Hi Philomena, Once a week a cronjob runs, executing the /etc/cron.weekly jobs In that directory there probably is a job called 'logrotate'. This is what creates the tar.gz files.

RE: [newbie] size of log files
I'm not in front of my computer at home but if I am not mistaken you can set a rule to reject traffic from your IP, but I'll have to look at my firewall at home to see how the syntax will go. --- Original Message --- philomena <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Wrote on Mon, 13 Nov 2000 08:26:29 + -- Hi, I installed PMFirewall recently and have been getting a ton of the same message in my syslog and messages files - they are "deny" messages, but of my own static IP address, so I must have something set up wrong.

[newbie] size of log files
Hi, I installed PMFirewall recently and have been getting a ton of the same message in my syslog and messages files - they are "deny" messages, but of my own static IP address, so I must have something set up wrong. As a consequence, these files have been getting huge, and have caused me some problems when the partition has run out of space. I notice that there is a .gz file of each of these files. Is there a system parameter that based on the filesize automatically compresses the file ? If so, how do I manipulate that so that my system behaves while I track down the firewall problem ? Thanks, philomena

I have Mandrake 6.0 installed. You can change the font sizes via the control center in KDE (it's the icon at the bottom of a monitor with a circuit board in front of it). Icon sizes are fixed, unfortunately -- and about to get bigger with the new KDE! -- Steve Philp Network Administrator Advance Packaging Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[newbie] Size of icons and letters
Hi there. I am new in using Linux Mandrake. I have a small monitor, so I would like to know if it is possible to make the icons and fonts smaller on Gnome and KDE. I have Mandrake 6.0 installed. Thanks, Rommel __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
