As far as I remember, partitions were not deleted, it's just metadata. Quick online search for "dmraid -r -E" never mentions data loss neither, so you should be fine. BUT, if you can, backup would be preferable for any live work with important data, and "sfdisk -d /dev/sdX > partition.txt" will save partition info so if anything goes wrong you can reapply it. -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe StarOS, Mikrotik and CentOS/RHEL/Linux consultant ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Strange Samba Issue
Another possibility is selinux. I just build a CentOS 6 machine. When I tried mapping a drive, I kept getting permission denied. When I got into the /tmp directory, I was able to create files from Windows via Samba and see those files but ones created on the folder either did not show up or were inaccessible. Listing the extended attributes showed that the selinux part of the attributes was different. Researching showed that there are a number of little selinux flags to set to get samba to work. I went into /etc/selinux/config and turned off selinux to test and rebooted. The problems went away. Now I just have to figure out what to configure, so I can turn selinux back on.

[CentOS] Dug myself into a hole
I just build a CentOS 6 machine to replace my old machine which broke to where I could not fix it. In attempting to get the applications running which had worked on the old machine, I did updates from several repos such as rpmforge, atrpms, livna, epel, etc. Some of the attempts ended going down blind alleys. Now I have a mix of rpm's from various sites that I do not need, but they are listed as dependencies of other rpm's. The rpmforge rpm's are marked with "rf". Is there a process to check which of these rpm's are also in the base libraries and force them back in? I really do not want to go back to square 1 and reload the system from scratch.

[CentOS] Old harware (intel 82845G card) stopped working after update (centos 6)
Hello. I apology in advance if I am not reporting things correctly, but my knowledge about these things is very limited. I have five Transtec computers, approximately born in July 2005; they have an intel 82845G video card. The last 'yum update' was on January 30, 2014. I did not reboot the machines at that time. I cannot be sure about the date of the 'yum update' preceding that one, but I think is was on September 7, 2013. Last Friday (February 14, 2014), 4 of those 5 computers stopped working properly after some action on them. The problem is: black screen with only the arrow of the mouse (mouse is working correctly :-). Apart from that, the computers are OK: one can use Ctrl-Alt-F1, etc. For sure, one of the action which led to the problem was a reboot. I cannot be 100% sure about the action, which was simply a change of screen: the machine was OK; then I changed the screen; it did not work any more; then I rebooted. But my experience is that, sometimes, even under normal condition, it does not work right away, or perhaps not at all, after changing the screen. The 5th computer, on which nothing has been done, is still working just fine. NB: for sure, there has been at least one reboot on at least one of the 5 machines between September (or whatever date at which the previous 'yum update' has been performed) and January, and the problem did not show up. For what it's worth, the following 2 packages are installed: xorg-x11-drv-intel-devel-2.21.12-2.el6.i686 xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.21.12-2.el6.i686 Also, here is the output of 'lspci | grep 82845': 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE/PE DRAM Controller/Host-Hub Interface (rev 01) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) Based on the data, my best guess is that the problem I have is due to some recent change in the centos packages. Perhaps it was supposed to be so? (I.e., no longer supporting old hardware?). If so, at any rate, I'll be grateful if someone can suggest a workaround, or perhaps a hint towards that goal.

It supported Pentium-4 "Northwood" CPUs, which were 32bit only, via socket 478 and first generation DDR SDRAM PC133. its quite likely that stuff that old is no longer being tested for compatibility with new builds. -- john r pierce 37N 122W somewhere on the middle of the left coast ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Running current bits on ancient hardware is always risky. Test first with LiveCD. Or better yet, stay back with known working bits. On 02/17/2014 09:20 AM, alain.coch...@unistra.fr wrote: > Hello.
