Many system ship with an alias called ls with presupplied various options, which is misleading. IMO this is a terrible idea - the alias should at least use another name. (I have ones called l and L for these conveniences, myself.) To your problem: Symlinks are strings resolved with respect to the directory in which the symlink exists. So the example above Test/afile = Test/afile2 makes a symlink _in_ the directory Test named afile2 pointing at Test/afile. Therefore it tries to access the path Test/Test/afile, which fails as one might expect. When making a symbolic link it needs to either be (a) an absolute path or (b) relative WRT to the directory hodling the link. For the latter, the reliable way is to cd to the directory and make in from inside. That way command line filename completion prodcues working results.

Then you can compare with how others do it, whether they distribute their users to the same number of mirrors world-wide, or whether they prefer a few mirrors run by passioned admins. The master repository is updated. Announcements are mailed out. Users read an announcement, but they don't see the updates yet. WTF? Why not?

But it isn't a fix, if the nearby mirrors don't carry the changed repo contents yet. dnf --refresh doesn't force retrieval of latest repodata either.

Mirrors not being up-to-date, nothing new to fetch. Updates become available as soon as they arrive on the nearby mirrors. Is that sent as a clear message to all Fedora users? I don't think so. On average, how long does it take for updates to arrive on the mirrors? Is anything known here? How long does it take for updates to arrive in another country?

Re: F22: how to mount AFS directory?
Once you start the OpenAFS client it will by default attach itself at /afs IIRC. You can change the default in a config file or the command line. The way I used AFS a lng time back, it used Kerberos to authenticate you to the AFS network, and everything you had access to was available in that /afs top level structured by Kerberos domains and then local file system structures. There was no mounting in the traditional sense. It is one big, cloudy repository that was primarily used by collaborating scientists. You could browse around and find all kinds of interesting stuff. :-) I used Scientific Linux (fork of CentOS) back then, and it had AFS installed by default. It's a long time ago, so I may be hazy on this. ti., 25.08.2015 kl. 08.09 -0500, skrev Ranjan Maitra: On Tue, 25 Aug 2015 00:38:03 +0100 Patrick O'Callaghan pocallag...@gmail.com wrote: On Mon, 2015-08-24 at 18:19 -0500, Ranjan Maitra wrote: Does anyone know how to mount an AFS filesystem (I think it is called an Andrews' Filesystem) on Fedora 22? The Andrew File System was part of the Andrew project at Carnegie Mellon University many years ago. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_File_System I looked around on the web, but did not come up with anything that worked so I thought that I would ask for some advice. According to the above page RedHat has an implementation in early development. You could also try https://openafs.org/ Patrick, Thanks! I did look at that page, but it seemed to me that that was written from the view of how to run an AFS server. Maybe I did not read carefully, but i was looking for how one mounts an AFS server. In the case of a CIFS mount (say), I can use the command: /sbin/mount.cifs //full.path.to.server /mnt/local.directory -o nounix -o username=me,domain=domain.name,sec=ntlmv2 Is there a similar command for AFS mounts?

strange behavior of external esatausb ports on a Dell laptop
On a Dell E6510 laptop, there are 4 ports: 3 USB, and 1 eSata. The ports on the left side of the laptop are USB and eSata. Both of these ports start losing voltage after some time of operation, say 1 hours to 5 hours. I say lose voltage, because I actually hooked up a 5volt DC tiny fan to the usb port (no HD connected to eSata port beneath it. After about 90 minutes, the fan slowed down. I unplugged it and connected it to the usb port on the right side of the laptop and it imnediately resumed it's normal rpm and stayed there until shutdown several hours later. P.S: The voltage drop occurs on both ports on the left. The eSata port also functions as a usb port, and the fan slowed down on it as well. Connecting a sata dist to the eSata port leads to the disk disappearing from /dev when the voltage drops. Power management is not enabled as laptop is always on AC. Screensaver's power management is configured to never turn off monitor, nor disks nor suspend system ...etc. So, what might be causing the voltage drop, and how can I prevent it from happening? What data do I need to gather? -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
