[opensuse] Is there a fstrim like tool that punches holes? Would it work with a NFS mount?
by Greg Freemyer 02 Aug '15

02 Aug '15

All, Due to an Admin screw up: (and yes I'm the admin). I have a large loopback mounted filesystem with about 100GB of unused space. I need to punch holes where the unused space is and free up some disk space. That is where fstrim calls ioctl(FITRIM) to free up space on a SSD I need something that calls fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) to free up space on an underlying filesystem If nothing already exists to do this I guess I could hack on fstrim and get it to do if for me. The next issue is my underlying filesystem is a NFS mount. Not sure if will handle fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE). Worst case I guess I can grow the NFS mount, but I rent that space monthly, so I'd rather not have to grow it by 100GB to fix my issue.

[opensuse] bind in OS 12.3
by P.Suetterlin＠royac.iac.es 31 Jul '15

31 Jul '15

Hi list, I'm running a server that is still on 12.3 (update scheduled for autumn). There has been a security alert concerning bind (CVE-2015-5477), and now I wonder if I need to do something. Acording to heise.de (http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Kritische-Luecke-in-DNS-Server-Softw…, in german) affected versions are 9, 9.1.0, 9.9.7-P1 Und 9.10.2-P2 12.3 (like 13.1) has 9.9.4P2, so I thought I'm safe, but today arrived an update for this exact version for 11.4 Evergreen. Are there others still running bind on 12.3? What are you doing?

I've never used the high-end navigation modules, but both the low-end Garmins I used were terrible. I now use MapFactor Navigator Free on my Samsung tablet, and it works beautifully. I'd rather have Google, but I'd even more rather have the money needed for the data usage. Mapfactor uses OpenStreetMaps for free, and you can buy Tom-Tom maps. OSM has never failed me. Last I heard, Google will cache only the maps needed for your pre-planned trip. If you deviate even a little, you're in Google Wilderness. MapFactor solves that; I can explore all I want.

Hi We have updated a 12.3 install and plan to upgrade to 13.2 by changing the opensuse repos from 12.3 to 13.2 in yast and updating the distribution using zypper. Is that OK?

[opensuse] thunderbird extra columns
by buhorojo 27 Jul '15

27 Jul '15

38.1 We had a plugin to get extra columns for unread, total messages. Now it says it's integrated and the plugin can no longer be installed. It's not carried over the columns we had. How do we set it now? Thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Have you done an update recently?
by Anton Aylward 27 Jul '15

http://www.geek.com/apps/google-compares-security-experts-to-the-rest-of-us… Yes I use a unique password generator and I get VERY ANNOYED at sites that a) don't differentiate between UC and LC b) don't permit non alpha characters, especially spaces c) won't let me use password longer than 15 characters or truncate them down to 8 characters Yes I have a password manager. Yes I update daily. Sadly few sites, not least of all my banks, use two-factor authentication. The best of them use what amounts to a 'double password' scheme. All that being said .... While I update the apps on my phone and tablet, there seems to be no updates to the kernel/os other than buying a new phone or rooting it and installing a 3rd party ROM - which may lack functionality or have other problems. Lets not even think about updates to the cars and other IoT things! If we do we might get very, very frightened. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
