**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed May 02 02:59:56 2007 May 02 10:09:54 Hello, on an unslung system which dirs should be avoided using? I.o.w. can I let software make use of the home and or public dir without risking flooding the memory? May 02 20:02:22 ~botsnack May 02 20:02:22 mwester-treo: :) May 02 20:12:39 2nd time my slug SAMBA server corrupted data :( May 02 20:38:44 caplink811 :) May 02 21:13:48 caplink811 :) May 02 22:04:34 hello everyone. May 02 22:05:14 anyone here have a fat32 drive mounted to the slug? i have a couple of questions about it. May 02 22:12:00 ask'em anyway May 02 22:13:24 I mounted the drive fine. i created a directory music. I have a user ftp in to drop music files there. But permission is denied May 02 22:13:48 can permission be set on that directory, since its a Fat32? May 02 22:14:42 denied meaning , can't write anything to that directory May 02 22:14:50 no denied in ftping in. May 02 22:19:35 in Fat32 you can set permissions May 02 22:19:55 cant sorry May 02 22:20:52 so after i mount the drive only root can write to it? No other user can write to it, but only read ? May 02 22:20:54 just during mount with options - if that's of any help May 02 22:22:42 default fat32 mount is only read May 02 22:22:45 but you can modify May 02 22:23:34 can you tell me how i modify it so i can write? i tried chmod the directory with +w but it doesnt work May 02 22:25:37 nori: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Mount_Windows_partitions_(DOS,_FAT,_NTFS) May 02 22:25:45 that might help May 02 22:26:56 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=99577 May 02 22:27:01 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=537891 May 02 22:27:38 thanks!, i'll take a look at that May 02 22:27:56 first one seems to be unresponsive at the moment, but the last two work May 02 22:28:09 yea i couldnt reach the first link either May 02 22:29:52 Hello, on an unslung system which dirs should be avoided using? I.o.w. can I let software make use of the home and or public dir without risking flooding the memory? May 02 22:32:43 well if you don't have anything attached :D then none. if hdd or flash - fill your heart out. not sure about /proc, but it's own trick to write there anyhow May 02 22:33:02 none=I mean ALL, sorru May 02 22:33:34 I do have disks attached offcourse :) May 02 22:34:43 so "public" and "home" are actually stored on the unsling drive May 02 22:36:06 I was wondering this because "cpan" (perl's module installer) reads and write from /public/.cpan but it's really slow in doing that. May 02 22:37:24 lots of files May 02 22:38:32 public especially :D contains everything shared to network at default.. sharing 32megs doesn't sound too handy :D May 02 22:55:06 drif: thank you. after you explained it I'm wondering why I didn't figure that out myself :) May 02 22:59:18 Still doesn't explain the slowness of cpan reading/writing it's metadata... May 02 22:59:32 but i'll keep hunting :) May 02 23:00:56 could be just hard on resources May 02 23:01:13 but I've noticed the very same thing May 02 23:15:54 That's probably it then. May 02 23:16:17 I'm still a bit new too linux so these things make me doubt. May 02 23:16:52 Looking at the numbers in atops didn't show anything disturbing **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu May 03 02:59:56 2007
