FWIW, ASUS doesn't seem to keep their compatibility charts up to date.

I found  https://event.asus.com/2009/networks/disksupport/ but this is from 
2009 and the RT-ARCH13
isn't listed.  But the similar product RT-ARCH15 is.  And it shows that ext4 is 
NOT supported.

When I look at the drive on this computer with I gparted I see:

[root@Workstation-1 bobg]# gparted /dev/sdc

WD My Book 25EE  ext4 /run/media/bobg/bbdb9a5e-5003-4d4e-a18c-fb30a248

Perhaps I need to change the file system to vfat, gpt, or whatever samba 
wants? ASUS appears to be using a version of DD-WRT with their own gui, 
I believe the hype mentioned WRT? One reason for getting this router was 
to try the USB attached hard drive using an unmodified router, I always 
buy a router that is listed compatible with DD-WRT or preferably 
Tomato-USB, the latter preferred since it logs daily usage per ipaddress 
so I know what is hogging my b.w. allocation. I had similar, probably 
the same, problems withe router I've been using for the last year which 
I reworked for Tomato-USB, a DD-WRT related program.

Done and the upgrade completed without further issues.

You probably would best be served by using ntfs or ext3.

It isn't a question about what "samba" wants but what disk formats the kernel 
running on the router
supports.

The wireless router works with most USB HDDs/Flashdisks (up to 2TB size)
and supports read-write access for FAT16, FAT32, EXT2, EXT3, and NTFS

https://www.asus.com/supportonly/RT-ACRH13/HelpDesk_Knowledge/

You can download the source code (but latest source isn't current, so you
may need to search for patches).

https://www.asus.com/supportonly/RT-ACRH13/HelpDesk_Download/

https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/about:

*Asuswrt* is the name of the firmware developed by Asus for use on all
their recent routers. It was originally based on Tomato, and got
extensively modified by Asus over the years as they added their own
features to it. 

*Asuswrt-Merlin* is an alternative, customized version of that firmware.
Developed by Eric Sauvageau, its primary goals are to enhance  the existing
firmware without bringing any radical changes, and to fix some of the known
issues and limitations, while maintaining the same level of performance as
the original firmware. This means Asuswrt-Merlin retains full support for
NAT acceleration (sometimes referred to as "hardware acceleration"),
enhanced NTFS performance (through the proprietary drivers used by Asus
from either Paragon or Tuxera), and the Asus exclusive features such as
AiCloud or the Trend Micro-powered AiProtection.  New feature addition is
very low on the list of priorities for this project.

You do need to change the filesystem, NTFS is probably the best choice, but
you have to deal with the 2TB limit.  Some elderly PC systems refuse to
deal
with 4TB drives, and some will accept a 4TB drive with a 2TB partition.

I think you can do experiment by formatting an unused flash drive as
GPT/MBR format and change its filesystem and look if your router can
recognize it.

Bugzilla, most time abrt can handle this automatically if you have
setup bugzilla user and didn't disable this feature.
But you can report manually at Bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/ ,
Product: Fedora and Component: cinnamon, describe your problem in
detail and if possible, attach logs there.

As George wrote, You can check all past reboots and shutdowns with
'last -x'. It is easier to browse the logs knowing the exact time.

Yes, ans as the last person suggests I was planning on experimenting

Starting and stopping RAID doesn't work from Cron

[Patrick O'Callaghan]

I have a backup script (using Borgmatic) I run every night, where the
target is a RAID1 array connected by a USB dock. The dock is normally
off so the script turns it on, does the backup, then turns it off
again. This is the cron entry:

# cat /etc/cron.d/borgmatic 
# Run borgmatic every day at 3am

0 3 * * * root /usr/local/bin/dock up && /usr/bin/borgmatic ; 
/usr/local/bin/dock down

The on/off script (see attached) works reliably when run from the
command line, but fails when run via cron. The journal shows the
following:

Do you mean something like changing:

GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true

*... to ...*

GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=false

... in your /etc/default/grub?
I have always had GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=false, but grubby and BLS have 
always ignored it whereas grub2-mkconfig has always honoured it.

(and of course regenerate the grub.cfg)

Is this because qt5-qtbase-5.14.2-5.fc32.x86_64 doesn't supercede 
qt5-qtbase-5.13.2-4.fc32.x86_64?

More likely that qgis still needs to be rebuilt with the new qt5.  If you don't need it, 
try adding "--allowerasing" to the dnf command.

FWIW, I installed qgis on a fully updated VM to see if I could reproduce the 
failure.  It installed OK.

[root@f32k ~]# rpm -q qgis qt5-qtbase
qgis-3.12.1-4.fc32.x86_64
qt5-qtbase-5.14.2-5.fc32.x86_64

I noticed the qgis package version differs from mine.  Wonder if the OP is 
getting the package
from a non-fedora source?



It would seem the OP's version comes from the copr/danis repository.

The page https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/dani/qgis/

indicates The following unofficial repositories are provided as-is by owner of 
this project. Contact the owner directly for bugs or issues (IE: not bugzilla).

So, the owner will probably need to update their package.


Thanks for your responses Samuel and Ed. I did try --best and 
--allowerasing as suggest but they made no difference.
I am indeed using the COPR repository for qgis as that was the required 
methodology for Fedora. I have tried the dnf upgrade this morning and 
there is an updated version of qgis (3.14.0) that has rectified the issue.

Thankyou for your help.

regards,
Steve

I don't know what you mean by "that was the required methodology for Fedora".

The regular Fedora repository contains qgis.

Name : qgis
Version  : 3.12.1
Release  : 4.fc32
Architecture : x86_64
Size : 39 M
Source   : qgis-3.12.1-4.fc32.src.rpm
Repository   : updates

you have decided to use a different repository with a "beta" version.  If you 
have issues with the older
version, like a missing feature, that would be a reason to use it.  If you can 
live with the older version
in the Fedora repository you should switch to using it.

Re: Starting and stopping RAID doesn't work from Cron

[Roger Heflin]

It would appear that the md stop is still running when you remove the disk.

So in both cases you run the exact same script but from cron it fails?

I would think you either need a loop validating that the md stopped or
just put a simple few second sleep delay between the md stop and the
disk stop.

migrating drives on UEFI systems

[Tim via users]

Hi,

On the old BIOS systems, if I wanted to swap hard drives on a system
(e.g. move over to a bigger one), I could clone it off-line, then swap
over, and it'd just work.

Should I expect a UEFI system to do it that simply?

And do secure boot options throw any spanners in the works, too?


I tried this last night, and it didn't want to boot.  I cloned it using
"dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb" while booted from a gparted ISO on a USB
flashdrive (current release). Shut down.  Unplugged the old drive. 
Rebooted.

If it makes any difference, I can't recall if I plugged it into the
same SATA port on the motherboard.  It's a board with 6 sockets, and
I'm only using two of them (DVD and HDD).

I did get it to boot by messing with the boot menus in UEFI, but it was
quite hit-and-miss about what to boot from.  I can't remember now if I
selected the drive with it on, or the entry with the release's name in
it, but neither worked on the first boot.  It was a few reboots before
I got it to go.

Thanks Ed, I didn't know it was in the Fedora repository. When we had a 
presentation on geocoding in one of the data exploration packages we use 
at work, the package vendors suggested we use qgis to generate the 
geocoding data the package uses to do map point plotting. Consequently I 
did a search on the net for qgis for Windows and Linux and found the 
Authors web site, where I downloaded and installed the Windows version, 
and for the Fedora Linux version the web site said install the COPR 
repository first and then install qgis, which is what I have done.


regards,
Steve
