What happened to floppy drive support?
by n2xssvv.g02gfr12930
I've been using a floppy boot disk as reserve if my HD boot fails, But
it appears floppy support as now been removed. Why? Then how can I
create an emergency media that is flexible enough to be updated as required?

Samba 4
by Gabriel VLASIU
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512
Hi!
Maybe someone can help me with samba 4 (F18).
In previous version (samba 3/F17) I had this definition for a share:
[xxx]
path = /xxx
browseable = yes
writable = yes
; writable = no
printable = no
public = yes
guest only = yes
guest ok = yes
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775
force group = xxx
The important thing here is "create mask". I do not want all files created
by users to be executable in linux.
The same definition work in samba 4 with the exception of running windoze
.exe files from the share. In windoze, there is no read & exec permissions
associated with the file. Only read for everyone and read/write for unix
user/group. I can manually set the exec flag (from linux or windoze) but
this has to be made every time someone copy an executable file.
Any chance to revert to the behavior from samba 3?
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Gabriel

Fedora hangs driving me nuts, in Windows it works without problems!
by Valent Turkovic
My work Fedora 17 64bit box gangs without reason, and I can't track
down issue causing it! When I reboot into Windows 7 32bit it works for
days without any hangs.
This is a company PC so IT installed Windows 7, but I don't use it,
that is why I installed Fedora and use it as my primary desktop.
I'm not some guru sysadmin, but I'm not a newbie, as I have been using
Linux over 10 years as my primary desktop and have few private servers
that I maintain, I have troubleshooted and fixed numerous issues with
mine and friends machines.
My desktop works perfectly for hours, sometime for days, but after
some time (usually 1-2 days) it just freezes. It doesn't matter how
many free memory I have, which apps I'm runnig or which desktop I'm
using. I tried leaving just desktop running with no apps, still
freezes, changed desktops, kde - hangs, gnome 3 - hangs, mate - gangs,
tried leaving multiple apps doing something, still hangs. I ran memory
test utils, memory is working ok. These gangs are driving me nuts!
Is anybody having unexplained hangs with Fedora 16 and 17 64bit? Could
it be some 64bit issue because Windows is 32bit and it works?
How can I troubleshoot what is causing hangs of my machine?
Thanks.

Adwaita GTK3 on F18 no longer honors bgcolor
by Gordon Messmer
Under Fedora 17, I was able to select an alternate background color for
GTK2 and GTK3. Under F18, only the GTK2 applications honor the setting.
Before I file a a bug, does anyone know if this behavior was an
expected change?
$ dconf dump /org/gnome/desktop/interface/
[/]
gtk-color-scheme='selected_bg_color:#493f53;'
$ cat .gconf/desktop/gnome/interface/%gconf.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
<entry name="gtk_color_scheme" mtime="1358361695" type="string">

Grub2/Grub2 Themes Usage Issues
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
I have activated the usage of the Starfield theme for grub2 in
Fedora 17 and I am having issues with it.
1). Scrolling through the list of entries in the menu at boot time
is horribly slow. Every time I scroll with the arrow keys the screen
flashes black and it takes several seconds for the next/previous entry
to be highlighted.
2). I have just upgraded from from an Nvidia Geforce 9800 GT to an
Nvidia Geforce GTX 650 (this is a PCI-E 3 card plugged into a PCI-E 2
slot) and now I can see the graphics for the theme being drawn on the
screen as I watch, whereas with the 9800 the screen draw was
instantaneous. The issue highlighted in point 1) occurs independently of
the graphics card in terms of the same thing happens with both graphics
cards.
3). When I do an upgrade that upgrades the kernel the upgrade
process tries to update the grub2 config and mbr but is unable to
because /sbin/grubby fails with an access denied error even though I am
effectively running in root mode via sudo (implemented via the wheel
group). I have also tried this after switching to root mode via su but
that fails with the same error.
4). Because of the error highlighted in point 3, when upgrading the
kernel, I have to manual run a grub2-mkconfig and grub2-install to
update grub and this process rebuilds the Starfield's Theme.txt file
back to the defaults from the manual customization I have done from
white/grey bold text. The black/black bold text does not work for me on
the Starfield background.
My system is an Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 motherboard, AMD FX 4
GHz 8 core cpu, Geforce GTX 650 2 GB graphics card, 16 GB memory, 256 GB
SSD (this has Win 8 and the boot partitions for Fedora 17 and Ubuntu
12.10 installed on it) and 2 2 TB Seagate hard disks, so from my
perspective computing power is not an issue.
What is the best way to rectify these issues?
regards,
Steve

fedora 16, ext4 corruption
by Ian Malone
Hi,
Is anyone else seeing problems with F16 ext4? I recently moved my
install onto a new harddisc (which is reporting SMART is fine after
running a full test) and did that by making a new ext4 fs (previously
ext3) then rsyncing across. I'm now seeing occasional system 'freezes'
(not hard freezes, but programs can fail to start or freeze. Yesterday
the desktop completely stopped, but I was able to switch to a virtual
console). dmesg reports errors to do with failing to write the journal
and remounting read-only. On reboot an fsck is required, which finds
some fixable problems. Obviously I'm wondering if it's the OS or the
new disc. Was planning an F18 install soon which might help with one
problem but not the other.
Don't know if it's the 'ext4 data corruption bug' or if that's been
fixed. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTIxNDQ

RE: Building a 1pb volume

Subject: Building a 1pb volume
Hi,
I'm looking to build a 1PB (usable) volume on a Fedora or Redhat platform. The volume (has to be a single volume) will be shared out by NFS. My considerations in the order of importance are:
Data loss
Cost
Speed
I am currently considering some less expensive storage arrays using 4TB SAS disks in 5+1 RAID 5 configurations (each array would be responsible for 10 such volumes). This will give me one level of protection. Then I'm going to propose a DR site with a full second set of storage. That will give me a 2nd level of protection.
Now I would like a 3rd level of protection and I thought about using GlusterFS. If I read it right, it would duplicate the data in a way so that it doesn't reside in a single place.
So, has anyone used Gluster? Does anyone have any other suggestions that might work for a situation like this? All options are currently on the table so it's play time! :)
Thanks!
