[opensuse] Why is systemd mounting devices when I didn't ask for it?
by Michael Fischer 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

I've got a USB-attached SATA drive with 2 partitions, and I think a thumb drive as well. Normally, only one of the SATA partitions is mounted. Twice now, I'm using the SATA drive, and I get I/O errors, and see that both partitions are mounted, and I've normal usage of the one which _should_ be mounted. Doesn't clear up until I manually umount, mount, etc. Tonight I find the following in /var/log/messages: 2013-12-07T22:55:30.616422-05:00 binkenlights systemd[1]: Unmounting /data5... 2013-12-07T22:55:30.656153-05:00 binkenlights umount[29066]: umount: /data5: target is busy. 2013-12-07T22:55:30.656377-05:00 binkenlights umount[29066]: (In some cases useful info about processes that use 2013-12-07T22:55:30.656430-05:00 binkenlights umount[29066]: the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1)) 2013-12-07T22:55:30.656494-05:00 binkenlights systemd[1]: data5.mount mount process exited, code=exited status=32 2013-12-07T22:55:30.656812-05:00 binkenlights systemd[1]: Failed unmounting /data5. 2013-12-07T22:55:30.896650-05:00 binkenlights mtp-probe: checking bus 4, device 4: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb4/ 4-2" 2013-12-07T22:55:30.914347-05:00 binkenlights mtp-probe: bus: 4, device: 4 was not an MTP device 2013-12-07T22:55:32.030377-05:00 binkenlights systemd[1]: Found device ST2000DM001-1E6164. 2013-12-07T22:55:32.034794-05:00 binkenlights systemd[1]: Found device ST2000DM001-1E6164. 2013-12-07T22:55:32.034953-05:00 binkenlights systemd[1]: Starting File System Check on /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST2000DM001-1E6164 _W1E4R7CL-part2... 2013-12-07T22:55:32.221292-05:00 binkenlights systemd-fsck[29094]: /dev/sde2: clean, 219049/54992896 files, 38956703/219942400 blocks 2013-12-07T22:55:32.298043-05:00 binkenlights systemd[1]: Started File System Check on /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST2000DM001-1E6164_ W1E4R7CL-part2. 2013-12-07T22:55:32.298506-05:00 binkenlights systemd[1]: Mounting /data6... 2013-12-07T22:55:32.388914-05:00 binkenlights systemd[1]: Mounted /data6. /data5 is the one I normally have mounted, and the above operations screwed me up files become inaccessible to me. /data6 is normally not mounted, but after (whatever systemd is up to), it is mounted and stays that way until I manually fix it.

[opensuse] Assistance with bug #836235, please
by Miller, RussellX J 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

A while ago, I opened bug #836235 with your esteemed support people, and have been in a dialog with them. I don’t mean this as anything personal, but I believe that the resolution is not correct, and I am concerned that a patch that does absolutely nothing and does not solve the issue is going to get committed into the distribution. I won’t go into a rehash of the conversation on the bug, but I would like it if someone could please take a look over the bug and code (a “second opinion”, if you will) and let me know if I’m full of it – in which case I’ll drop the issue, or if my concerns are valid, can help me to make sure the correct patch is applied to the code? We have a policy at my workplace (see below) that unpackaged software cannot be deployed – and we prefer for the deployed packages to be present in the opensuse repositories – so I have a strong vested interest in making sure that the correct patch is applied. Thanks for your help. ☺ --Russell Russell Miller Sysadmin – OTC <redacted>@intel.com

[opensuse] puzzled by rsync
by Felix Miata 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

source & target have same filesystem size, block size, filesystem type OS 11.4 running on both # rsync -av --delete --stats --progress --exclude 'lost+found' source/ target Rsync halted because the target reached 100% full, even though the source was about 95% full at the start. I reduced source consumption to 85%, deleted some files on target to drop consumption to 90%, then reran rsync. At the end, source remained 85%, while target is at 94%. What's going on? Is my syntax not doing what I expect (mirroring)? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Hello, on my brand new 13.1, kde, folder "desktop", I only have shortcuts to applications right now, on all of them, the extension ".desktop" is displayed under the icon. AFAIR, usually it was not the case, any option? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] dolphin toolhelp?
by Per Jessen 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

I feel I've asked this one before, but I can't find the answer - how do I enable toolhelp in dolphin? You know, hover over a file, and a pop-up window displays a thumbnail plus a collection of infos. People here really miss that feature for graphics, office docs and pdfs. It must be hiding somewhere ? /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.2°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Cool, I guess that must be new; I brought up a new 13.1 VM and see that YaST now also allows a synchronization interval, which is cool.

[opensuse] Okular upgrade necessary?
by Per Jessen 09 Dec '13

09 Dec '13

I'm just filling in a PDF form, and thought I would try it with Okular (given the recent deprecation of acroread). I'm on openSUSE 12.3, and Okular complains about unsupported XFA forms. I guess I need an upgrade or?

[opensuse] How-to re-partition /home/ on a live running system (home can be scrapped, is close to empty)?
by cagsm 09 Dec '13

09 Dec '13

How-to re-partition /home/ on a live running system (home can be scrapped, is close to empty)? Good day fellow enlisted ones. some machine set-up went bad and now there is a huge separate /home/ partition but the machine would need rather a big single partition or at least much more space for / (root) I cannot really instruct non-knowledgeable users to take the whole machine off-line and then use some partitioning distro (gparted?) from usb device and repartition the stuff, thats why I am asking for help on how to do it live and while on-line. Presently I can ssh to the machine as a local user (not root yet) , and the actual /home/ content is close to empty. I could probably copy /home/ over to (root)/hometemp/ and then maybe ssh into the box as root so that it wouldn't need the files from /home/ for the ssh and bash/shell parts, and the unount /home/ and then delete the /home/ partition (fdisk?) and then extend (how?) the / partition? And then just rename the (root)/hometemp to home and it would be done, right? I am not doing these partitioning things that often and mostly rather during setup from installer and Yast in the OpenSuSE components. Any help with this? Thank you in advance.
