Linux not recognizing file systems

2008-01-14 Thread Joell Chockley
I've got a strange problem with a Linux guest. The only indicator we've come up with so far is that /dev/null had it's file permissions changed on Friday afternoon to -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 81 2008-01-11 15:03 /dev/null (we don't know how this was changed). One of our admins changed it back to

I concur with John. Check the messages log and dmesg. Something bigger is happening. I changed /dev/null on a virtual machine to the state that you had it in and yes, weird things happened, but as soon as I rebooted it, it changed back to exactly what it was before (as I would expect). This

Thanks for all the reply's... Not real sure how this could impact so much and why rebooting did not bring /dev/null back to its initial state, but once we got the file permissions set back to the character set for /dev/null, our other file system was able to mount and we had our /opt file

Unfortunately there's nothing in CP to connect to a virtual machine's ASCII console. A clarification question: can a virtual ASCII console be attached to another virtual machine? Maybe I'm being dense, but I can't make out from the docs whether the support in 5.3 is just for the HMC device

VSWITCH routing question

2008-01-14 Thread Brad Hinson
Hi, On z/VM 5.2, I'm defining a VSWITCH as a primary router because I have a Linux guest performing the routing. When I do not define an OSA triplet (no RDEV specified), the PRI option has no effect. Even I perform 'cp set vswitch vsw1 pri', a VSWITCH query returns NONROUTER. However, once I

HI guys, I figured it out. There are two sections in the IODF, an LPARNAME and a CONFIG-ID For sanity I had the LPARNAMES and the CONFIG-ID the same. The CONFIG-ID is for z/OS and I think VM. It has no meaning in Linux. The CONFIG-ID is defined in option 1. In OPTION 5 you can associate

(BTW, why should PR/SM care what OS is to be run in the LPAR?) So it can know which one the IFLs can be given to? It was probably not using IFLs either since it was defined as MVS. I've been told also that you get a little penguin picture there somewhere too. Course I haven't actually seen it

Cracklib library empty SLES 10

Hi, It seems that the three dictionary files for cracklib (pw_dict.hwm, pw_dic.pwd and pw_dict.pwi) are empty on SLES 10-SP1 system but on a SLES 9 system they were populated when the system was installed. This causes YAST to fail adding users or changing passwords for users without any error
