**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Jul 19 02:59:57 2008 Jul 19 03:04:50 how does samba interpret unix file permissions? what takes precedence, the smb.conf entries or the unix file permissions? Jul 19 03:05:13 * chrisb thinks that the unix file permissions seem to have precedence... Jul 19 03:06:31 probably Jul 19 03:07:02 iirc I had to pass some extra mount flags in order to make it play nice and not change permissions on files I created, but keep them same as if I had created them on the local unix fs Jul 19 03:07:42 re ipkg, "errors out" is a bit of a vague error description. mwester was probably waiting for the exact error message Jul 19 03:30:59 ShadowJK: thanks for the info on permissions Jul 19 03:31:36 ShadowJK: yes, i didn't give any details on the error message. Jul 19 03:32:27 downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/slugosbe/cross/4.8-beta/Packages.gz xsystem: ERROR: fork failed before execution: `wget --passive-ftp -q -P /tmp/ipkg-y9eIrq http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/slugosbe/cross/4.8-beta/Packages.gz' Jul 19 03:32:39 was the error message Jul 19 03:33:08 i had brought it up yesterday, and mwester commented on it Jul 19 03:33:33 he said something like, yeah, looks like a problem with su - which has been noted Jul 19 03:34:06 i suspect he wanted me to present a solution, rather than just more descriptions of bad behavior Jul 19 03:42:31 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Library_Policeman Jul 19 04:23:57 * chrisb solving his samba problems, one-by-one Jul 19 04:24:09 samba mostly working now Jul 19 17:23:18 hey Jul 19 17:24:25 hi Jul 19 17:24:46 how do i duplicate a debian install from one drive to another ? Jul 19 17:25:18 search the wiki for "dd" command Jul 19 17:25:28 from a small drive to a bigger one ? Jul 19 17:25:42 wont it make any problems ? Jul 19 17:25:48 also, if i cant dd.. what do i do ? Jul 19 17:26:14 (hardware failure, i can only copy files, some are defect) Jul 19 17:27:12 hm then maybe clone the drive inst the best idea? Jul 19 17:27:34 well, i have no time to install stuff from scratch Jul 19 17:27:46 the current drive boots fine and stuff Jul 19 17:27:59 but crashes after a day of use, sometimes less Jul 19 17:28:18 i think there's a problem with the controller, or at least bad blocks which are fucking it up Jul 19 17:28:40 if you cant do dd, do it with windows some application Jul 19 17:28:57 uh ? Jul 19 17:58:46 i'd try with dd conv=sync,noerror **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Jul 20 02:59:56 2008
