Re: ls: reading directory /var/share/movies/: Input/output e

In the latest version of linux (at least from kernel 3.2) you can get a list of hard disk id's in /dev/disk/by-id/ ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Aug 27 20:47 scsi-SATA_SAMSUNG_HD103SJS246J9GB303707 -> ../../sdb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Aug 27 20:47 scsi-SATA_SAMSUNG_HD103SJS246J9G...

Re: ls: reading directory /var/share/movies/: Input/output e

Sounds like you have a read problem (hardware problem).

Try unmounting and remounting your drive.

You can also check dmesg for more info.

Re: Log files permissions always changed to root

It is probably logrotate that is not correctly configured.

In the config file /etc/logrotate.conf
You should have section like this:

Code: Select all

/var/log/clamav {
    monthly
    rotate 5
    compress
    create 0600 clamav clamav
}
You can run logrotate with:

Code: Select all

logrotate -v /etc/logrotate.conf

Re: How to remove a symbolic link to a directory

You need to handle it like a file.
Without the slash '/'

Code: Select all

rm DIR
This should work.

When you use tab to complete the directory-name,
it automatically adds the slash (/).
But it is not needed in this case.

Re: Recover deleted files from encrypted home

If your files have been encrypted, they are now encrypted stored in /home/.ecryptfs/$USER/.Private/ So make sure you are looking in the correct dir. Shut down your computer; you can pull the plug, because shutting down will write files to your hard drive, and might overwrite your deleted files. Use ...

Re: Power save for SATA drives

You can do this with: hdparm -S 240 /dev/sdc This will tell you hard drive to power down after 20min of inactivity. I have read in many forums that it only works for IDE drives, and doesn't work for SATA drives. Anyway on my machines it works, And I have drives from Samsung, Western digital and Hita...

Re: Can I use dd to copy a drive to a bigger drive?

The short answer is: Yes. But, the size of you partitions won't change. You copy a everything from a 40GB drive to a 60GB drive. There will be a partition of 40GB and 20GB of free unused space. sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc You'll probably want to change the partition size with Parted Magic, or so...
