You are requesting about Logical Volume Manager ( LVM )
Exist in Linux, runs very well ( My laptop runs with LVM ) :D

I prefer to say: "HP-UX, AIX, Tru64 can do something similar when I was a
child, can Linux do this?" ;)

On a related issue, is it possible to combine several drives/partitions
into one logical Linux file system?
In other words, if I have 3 hard drives, I might want to use one
partition on hda for /boot, another partition on hdb for /swap, and use
all remaining space on all other drives/partitions as the root fs.

usb-storage
by Andrew Becker
I have a Freecom FS-1 USB CDRW device.
When I forst plug the device in it does not work. I do an lsmod and all the modules are loaded i.e. sd_mod scsi_mod usb* (including usb-storage) etc..
However, if I do:
rmmod usb-storage
insmod usb-storage
then it works.
Anyone encountered behaviour like this before / know a fix to automate the process?

That's what I did (replace the existing line). If you look in
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, you'll see where it sets the console font to the
value of SYSFONT. That's the point during bootup at which you're seeing
the font change back to the bigger size.

Metacity vs. Enlightenment as window manager
by Jim Cornette
Thanks those that were talking about switching windows managers from
Metacity to something else.
The preferences --> more preferences --> sessions location was pretty
much M$ish.
Enlightenment as the window manager seems to be a little crisper for
video clarity. Metacity seems a little bit fuzzy compared to the
alternative.
I loaded /usr/bin/enlightenment as task 1. What should be the order for
the windows manager. I guessed it should be first.
Thanks,
Jim

idle HD spin down standby/sleep, laptop mode?? (seagate 7200.7)
by Kevin Bowen
I'm trying to get fedora to spin down my primary drive when idle, but I
can't seem to get it to go into standby mode. When I use hdparm to put it
into 'sleep' mode, it does sleep very briefly, waking up after a few
seconds. When I use standby mode (either forced or with an -S idle time
auto-standby) it doesn't seem to ever enter standby at all. I'm not exactly
clear on how the new "laptop mode" works into this, but I have tried it both
with and without this mode enabled (including running the laptop-mode.sh
script) with no apparent change in behavior.
My drive is a serial ATA seagate 7200.7, running on a SATA raid card (not
using any raid features) - might this be the source of the problem?
Any ideas appreciated

Problems with apache+subversion
by Todd A. Jacobs
I allowed yum to install mod_dav_svn, and now get the following error when
trying to start apache:
Feb 1 16:27:44 gateway httpd: Cannot load
/etc/httpd/modules/mod_dav_svn.so into server:
/etc/httpd/modules/mod_dav_svn.so: undefined symbol:
dav_xml_get_cdata
Feb 1 16:27:44 gateway httpd: httpd startup failed
Commenting out everything in /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf allows
Apache to run, but obviously without support for Subversion. Any
suggestions?

pos and db for retail on fedora
by des1gner@optusnet.com.au
Hi
I work in a very small specialist record shop here, and am
considering trying to make a server and machine for the shop which
tracks sales and inventory. Linux is perfect in the respect that I
enjoy using it and it fits the bill in so many ways: cost,
stability, our (his and my) particular shared stance on expensive
proprietary computing. The owner has given me the go-ahead to try
something, but I have no idea where to start. I would like to use
Fedora because it is what I am most familiar with (RH 7.0 was my
first distro, I use FC1 now). Does anyone have any recommendations
on where to start? Easy is better than 'the best' I am mainly a
musician and audio engineer, and am not familiar with MySQL and php
and the like...although it seems I might have a crash course in the
near future. Thanks in advance for any advice you may provide.

IPTABLES doesn't work
by smoothmilk
Why doesn't redhat-config-securitylevel's iptables rules work?
If I turn off EVERYTHING (www, ftp, ssh, etc) and save, and even
manually restart iptables (# /sbin/service iptables restart) other
computers on my network can access www (even on weird, non-standard
ports with http servers on them) ftp, ssh, etc.
So whats the point of even including that tool if it doesn't do
anything? I dont understand how it just flat out doesn't work. I have no
idea how iptables works, and because there's no documentation out there
for beginners who just want a script that's for eth0 with a simple www,
ssh and ftp server(s), Im stuck using rh's tools, which don't do
anything. there's no security here.
Can anyone help?
