F13 - K3B - Won't burn dual layer BluRay
by Steve Berg
I've tried on two different systems, both recent clean installs of Fedora
13 x86_64. Open K3B (V1.91.0), pull in files that I'd like to have an
archive of, total size is just under 40GB. Load up a blank BD-R dual
layer and tell K3B to burn.
It sees the blank BD-R as having 46.6GB space. K3B then asks me to put in
a blank disk of at least size 37.8GB. I know it's been a long time since
my last math class, but I'm pretty sure that 46.6 is bigger than 37.8. :)
On one system I have Nero4 Linux and it was able to burn the same data
with no problems. Anyone seen similar issues?

How to resize RAID-1 partitions (mdraid)
by Sam Varshavchik
I have a rack server with two drives, partitioned identically and assembled
into RAID-1 arrays using mdraid.
No CD/DVD drive. There is a USB port. Don't know if the server's BIOS will
boot off a USB drive. I upgrade the server using pxeboot.
I want to juggle these partitions around. It's not clear to me if parted
will handle RAID partitions. I think I should resize each partition on each
drive identically, and parted should end up producing identical contents if
it's asked to resize two identical partitions to the same size, right? But
what about the mdraid metadata on each partition? Where does mdraid keep it,
at the beginning or at the end of each partition? If I resize the partition
with parted, is it going to blow away my raid metadata?
And how am I going to pull this off? My recollection is that I don't get
prompted for rescue mode if I launch pxeboot, the installer jumps straight
into anaconda. I suppose I can let anaconda come up, switch to an alt-vt,
dismount /mnt/sysimage, and use parted.

Preupgrade is slow
by Kalpa Welivitigoda
hi all,
I'm trying to upgrade F12 to F13 and I'm using preupgrade-cli. Al
though my internet connection is capable to transfer around 50kB/s,
the preupgrade downloads files with around 20kB/s. Further it hangs a
long times after a file is downloaded to begin the next file
downloading. It's not packages but the files prior to that like
/boot/upgrade/vmlinuz checksum OK
/boot/upgrade/initrd.img checksum OK
and when I stop the process and restart preupgrade the whole process
starts from the very beginning downloading the files which are already
downloaded.
Why is this and how can I overcome those issues?

Importing an mbox into Imap
by Philip Prindeville
I have an archived rmail-style "mbox" that I want to move into my Imap
message store.
Anyone have a Perl script that will read an mbox, split it into
individual messages, and then redeliver those messages via an Imap
connection?
Thanks,
-Philip

Well, I have one of those :) I think I will try all of this over AGAIN :)

You had a hard time getting this to work with F12? For me, on this same system,
it "Just Worked."

First F13 roadblock
by Tom Horsley
I've fully switched over to Fedora 13 as my primary system
now, but I just encountered this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=593042
Apparently after installing some random collection of
firefox plugins, firefox stops working (it acts more like the
number of plugins is important rather than which plugins).

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

F13 install problem (/dev/fd0 error)
by Dale J. Chatham
I cannot get FC13 to install. I get a repeating /dev/fd0 error, which
sorta makes sense since the machine doesn't have a floppy. However, it
never gets past the error.
Has anyone seen this one?
Help!!!
:)
