Why no creation date-stamp in ReiserFS and ext3?
by Shriramana Sharma 20 Aug '05

20 Aug '05

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems says that Reiser and ext do not support creation time-stamps. If this is true, why? If there's a reason for FAT etc to have creation time-stamps, then that same reason will apply to Reiser/ext too, no?

Hello Anders, I built this numerous times on Mandrake servers without issue. Editing the .mc and using m4, on Mandrake at least, was easy enough. On Suse, however, this has not been a pleasant experience. Although, I can quickly abandon sendmail on Suse for postfix. Can you point me to a Suse MailScanner/Postfix setup or is that on Mail Scanner's' website? Regards, ~James

How to create i2c device-files
by Koenraad Lelong 19 Aug '05

19 Aug '05

Hi, I'm trying to setup my sensors. My first sensors-detect went fine (some weeks ago), but I had problems (don't remember which). Now that I have time again I wanted to run sensors-detect again but it complains : No i2c device-files found. Use prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh to create them. When I did ls -l /dev/i2c* there appeared a number of device-files, but it seems i2c-0 and i2c-1 are missing. How can I create these ? I found out that the mkdev-command is mknod in SuSE9.2, but I need to know the parameters of the command. Any place where I could lookup these ? TIA. P.S. I presume a cp of a device file is not good enough ? -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong R&D Manager ACE electronics n.v.

A google search recommends commenting out the following in the sendmail.mc/linux.mc DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA') ...but that line *doesn't* exist in the mc. ~James

Hello, Where can I start looking to see why sendmail isn't accepting connections? "netstat" show this: # netstat -lpn |grep 25 tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 26046/sendmail: acc Thank you in advance. James

Just out of curiosity, open yast from a shell terminal (this is yast not the GUI version yast2) and see if you can enter in text for your search from there. ~James

I guess you missed the ";-)". WTF refers to "What The F...". As for not being able to search, I can only suggest that you verify your sources in Yast.

USB Pen Drive - Enabling unmounting and other issues
by Samjnaa Tattvavaadin 19 Aug '05

19 Aug '05

Hello. I have a Transcend JetFlash 256 MB pen drive. Whenever I plug it into my PC, Linux autodetects and automounts it. But as an ordinary user I do not have permission to unmount it, which is required procedure before pulling it out from the machine. Of course, I can goto konsole > su > umount /dev/hdb. But I would like to allow myself as a user to unmount it too. I think I need to do some /etc/fstab editing here, so please give me instructions. Is it also possible for me to give this some permanent location at /media/usbpendrive just like /media/dvdram and /media/cdrom which I already have? Should I specify that at One problem is that, IIRC, the /dev/hd? position of the USB drive depends on what is already mounted. If one of my optical drives is mounted, then that drive will be /dev/hda and my USB drive will be /dev/hdb. If two of my optical drives are mounted, then the USB drive is /dev/hdc. So how do I give the USB drive a consistent reference in fstab? (I have to check this hda-hdb phenomenon again, but I remember it was this way - I'm now writing from Windoze. But the gurus here should know the theory.) While I'm at it: is it possible for an optical drive without any media in it to be mounted, or is mounting only for something that contains a filesystem and not for a pure device?
