USB drives
by J. Michael Morse
Fedora Core 2
------------------
When I do a Google for 'Fedora Core 2 usb drives', all of the
displayed results point to articles on booting from a USB drive.
All I want to do is have read/write access to my USB driver.
Do I have to edit the /etc/fstab file? Any links to a web site
or links to a HOW TO file would be appreciated.
Thanks
Michael

would some one please quote your df for me ?
by Wong Kwok-hon
Hi!
Would some one quote a "df -h " for me for verify my output ?
[root@ringofc3 ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
18G 3.2G 14G 19% /
/dev/hda1 99M 8.8M 85M 10% /boot
none 252M 0 252M 0% /dev/shm
Because my output is above and it is normal or not ? Because all is in
same harddisk.
Thanks!

Asertion(heads>0) on IBM disk install
by Rick Lim
I am upgrading a FC2 to FC3 and using a 350 mhz Asus P2B motherboard with an
IBM IBM-DTLA-305030 disk (30 gig drive).
When I try to upgrade it looks like the upgrade tries to read the disk
geometry and then gives an error :
Assertion(heads>0) at disk_dos.c: 485 in function probe_partion_for_geom()
failure.
Has anyone else run into this problem with upgrading ????

mounting dvds is odd in FC3
by Bruno Santos
Hello all.
im using FC3 since its release, and im very pleased with it.
but, when mounting DVDs, the thing is strange.
i insert a DVD, and no automatic mount. when i press its icon (using
KDE), a message apears
saying that the DVD is alredy mounted or its busy. no mount happens.
when in shell, i type mount, the DVD (hdc) is not listed.
when mouting throught the shell, the message is the same.
if i wait, at least 8 minutes, and i try to mount it again, it works...
is there a problem with FC3 regarding mounts ??
ive asked a friend of mine about that, and he complains about the same
thing.
cheers

Thanks Carroll,
Unfortunately, if that was my problem, I would be a lot better off. I
have been able to make this modem work under linux before. However,
it is not even being detected by lspci on this particular computer. I
don't know if perhaps it is possible that the mb is incompatible with
this particular modem card, or if this might be caused by an IRQ
conflict (or how such a thing is resolved), or any other random thing.
I've tried doing some tests (as mentioned above), but I'm not quite
sure what to try next.

What do you use to partition..?
by Mark Sargent
Hi All,
I just tried to use parted from a boot floppy, and got an error saying
that it couldn't be found...command = parted /dev/hda11, my root(/)
partition. Are there any inbuilt tools for this, or another
down-loadable tool..? Cheers.

Move from Raid 1 to single disk
by Mark Farmer
Hi list
A bit of an odd one this but I seem to be good at finding the odd ones :-)
I have a box running FC3 on raid 1 across my 2 hdd's.
The raid is a bit overkill really & I have decided that I would like
to reclaim my 2nd hdd, so.....
I am currently copying my entire filesystem to a backup location on a
server, the plan being to boot something like a knoppix cd,
repartition my hda, copy my filesystem back to it, modify fstab and
reboot it from the single disk.
Anyone see any problems with this or indeed have any better ideas?

Is FC3 as bad as it appears for me right now??
by WipeOut
I hate to be the one to put a damper on things but its now two days
since I installed FC3 from FC1 (new clean and shiney install)..
So far I have had to throw out the default multimedia stuff and install
xmms just so I could play anything without the system hanging or the
application crashing.. I have had to mount my network shares through NFS
because Samba and Nautilus don't appear to be able to play nicely together..
Not to knock the hard work being done by the dev team but at this point
is seems to me that maybe FC3 was rushed to release.. Or am I the only
one having major issues getting to a system that I can work on?
Sorry if I have upset anyone, I guess I am just frustrated at loosing
two days of work trying to get this running..Guess my weekend is going
to be catching up on the work I have not been able to do..
