nfs mount permissions

2003-02-21 Thread Caleb Chaplin
When trying to mount an NFS export from my redhat 8 workstation I receive errors saying that "only root can do that." I'm not sure if it's a permission set on my NFS server or if it's more of a general user-level permission on my workstation. There are 2 exports on the server (which happens to be

I'm curious as to how redhat-specific the certification is geared towards. Like, for the instruction and testing is it *solely* based on redhat's differences or should one expect other more "universal" linux and unix material? I can understand the importance of cross-platform experience of course

Yes, that would be fine. John is quite right in that writing to ntfs is considered risky. On Fri, 2002-10-25 at 00:30, Will Mendez wrote: > Thanks you guys are a great help! ;) copying data from NTFS to my linux home would >be ok then correct? > > Will Mendez > Mmmm.XSI > www.xsibase.com

Both reading and writing to ntfs each require compiling into the kernel; it might be possible to use modules but I can't remember off hand. Whether or not root is required to read/write is determined by how your mounting permissions are set in /etc/fstab. Caleb On Thu, 2002-10-24 at 09:43, Will

Try adding the following to /boot/grub/grub.conf title Windows XP rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 Make sure to replace (hd0,0) with the actual partition where winxp resides. And of the course the title can be whatever you want :) Caleb On Tue, 2002-07-02 at 12:59, [EMAIL

Hey they worked great! I think it was exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. However, the man page as well as the entry in my Nutshell book doesn't really give an indication that this could be used in fstab; how is umask=0 able to offer this kind of open-ended permission? At any rate, tha

The examples you mentioned seem to indicate something with some gaming potential; my ATI Radeon really did work "out of the box." The only thing I can't be sure about is whether or not the VIVO abilities of my card do as well (I'm not particularly concernced, hence havn't tried). Otherwise, watch

I had a similar problem recently and the only way I got around it way by having the windows partition mounted with a user id. So in /etc/fstab my entry looks like this: /dev/hdc5 /mnt/storagevfatowner,rw,uid=5000 0 In this case it's a "storage" partition being mounted by u

Hi everyone, Please excuse me if this has been asked plenty times before, but I'm having trouble establishing read/write/exec permissions of a directory on a vfat partition and nothing I try seems to work. Namely, variations on chown and chmod never seem to work on any folders there and root

Hmm, very strange. I didn't bother downloading any at all. I just tried "up2date kdegraphics" from the ~/home directory and it started downloading the files; command wasn't entered from the install cd. On the other hand "up2date noatun" didn't work, whereas "up2date kdeaddons-noatun" did (depen

Is there an option for rpm to automatically resolve and install any dependencies that might be needed? I want to install KDE from the installtion cd but, while all of the necessary libraries et al are obviously present, a simple "rpm -i kde-base" just lists a ton dependancies. So is there an opt

The SB Audigy isn't supported in linux just yet, however I believe some work is being done and basic functionality is possible with tweaking. Try taking a look at http://www.opensound.com to see what's being done. I have the audigy gamer but haven't managed to get it to work in linux just yet.
