damaged filesystem
by Suhit Kelkar 27 May '02

27 May '02

There was a powercut when my linux box was on. As a result, my system is saying that the filesystem is damaged. Running the repair utility does not help. Any suggestions? I run RH 7.1 on a Cyrix MII with 64 mb ram. Double-booted with Windows 98. Lilo seems to be running fine, though. Suhit Kelkar -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

debian updates

Hi all, For the past few days, I havn't managed to do an "apt-get update" on my system. apt simply reports that it failed to fetch the relevant files ... anybody else see the same thing? My /etc/apt/sources.list is in order ... havn't ever touched it since my first installation.

Re: suid script not working
by Vinay Pai 26 May '02

> it gives permission denied error. Whats wrong? Isn't the script suid > to root? Why isn't 'mkdir' getting root privilege? Scripts can't be "suid"ed. The effective UID used will be that of the program used to execute the script (sh/bash/python/perl etc). SUID only works with binaries, i.e. stuff that is executed directly, not using an external interpreter.

I did all that, but fdisk did not give me any error at all. >You can correct this by first going to 'extra functionality mode' using >the 'x' command and then by using the 'f' command to fix the partition order. There was no 'f' option in the 'extra functionality mode' ! I checked using cfdisk but it panicked saying that "the partitions are enlarged and it is recommended that you wipe your disk clean !" I checked using Dos fdisk... guess what it did? It performed an illegal operation. But other partitions seem all right (under windows). thanks, quasi p.s. I dont have the latest Debian installation disks, else I would I tried an install... but then I may try with my older rel 2 disks... let us see...

partitioning
by Q u a s i 25 May '02

Hello folks, I (finally) acquired a 40Gb HDD. I have partitioned it as follows :- primary - 2Gb - fat32 - /dev/hda1 extended - rest logical - 1.3Gb - Linux /dev/hda5 - 4Gb - fat32 /dev/hda6 - 9Gb - fat32 /dev/hda7 - 9Gb - fat32 /dev/hda8 - rest - fat32 /dev/hda9 I my haste and excitement I did not create a swap partition for Linux. Can I *delete* (using linux fdisk) the /dev/hda5 partition and split it into 2 without harm to the rest of the partitions? I think we can do it as the linux fdisk allows a lot of control, but I would just like to be certain about side-effects. :D Or can I use a swap _file_ instead of a partition? Or is a partition recommended? I would have experimented, but I already lost a lot of data in my last HDD crash and now I do not have a backup HDD. thanks, quasi
