Merge /opt and /var filesystem.
We have Solaris 2.6 running on one of our production Servers(Sun E450).
For some reasons we need to merge /opt and /var partitions, so that we can free one slice for our use. What are the suggested methods in which this can be done with minimum downtime ? Also I would like to know the repercussions if any ?
Hi Ernesto,
Please check the timestamp for the crash files under /var. Delete the older ones as even the OS support group may not analyze any older crash dump files.
Or
Move these crash dump files to new location where you have enough space.
Regards,
Deepak Kori

My guess is this could be happening more than WD knows about and could be producing all manner of mysterious behavior, since not only does it only happen on some machines but it does *not* crash the MyClod - at least not right away. The main effect is to fill /tmp and /var/log with garbage so nothing can write to them, which will probably affect some things and not others... https://www.youtube.com/embed/2Gwnmb6P-3k -
[SOLVED] Cloning boot and var partitions to a new drive for booting
Ok first of all here's my setup:
fakeraid (dmraid) / and home on an OCZ Revodrive
boot with GRUB on a flash drive (since fakeraid doesn't support grub)
var and downloads/media folder on a 500GB WD Caviar drive
When I originally installed Arch I had the Caviar drive in my home server in a RAID5 array, so that's why I opted to install boot and grub on a flash drive simply for booting. Now that I have the drive in my desktop I've cloned the flash drive's partitions and MBR using dd:
#dd if=/dev/sde of=~/MBR.img bs=512 count=1
#dd if=/dev/sde1 of=~/boot.img
#dd if=/dev/sdc1 of=~/var.img
I then backed up my downloads/media partition, then removed the partition table, then used dd to put the img files on the Caviar drive.
#dd if=~/MBR.img of=/dev/sdc bs=512 count=1
#dd of=~/boot.img of=/dev/sdc1
#dd of=~/var.img of=/dev/sdc2
I also created labels for the filesystems and put those in fstab.
I'm able to mount both partitions, however I can't boot from the drive. I get a 'grub hard disk error' (no error number) when I put it as my first drive in the BIOS.
I can still use the flash drive as the first hard drive in the BIOS and boot from it, then it mounts the dmraid root partition and boots successfully. It is also able to mount the var and boot partitions in fstab.
Basically the only problem is that the MBR is somehow wrong. I then tried booting back into an Arch live USB and installing GRUB from the prompt:
grub
grub>setup (hd4,0) (in this case the Caviar drive's boot partition was /dev/sde1
So essentially what I'm asking is how GRUB handles the MBR. Is it specific to the partition table of the drive in which it resides when it's originally installed? For instance, since I had an 8GB flash drive with 2 partitions when I installed GRUB, is the backed up MBR no good for a 500GB drive with 3 partitions?
I have everything backed up so I can start with a fresh /boot and /var if need be....I'm just not sure where to start.
Thanks in advance.
Last edited by DarksideEE7 (2011-02-13 23:25:31)Sorry, I forgot to mention that I tried to install GRUB from the GRUB shell in a live Arch USB. It failed on a few non-critical parts, and succeeded on the last part. I'm going to try again shortly, possibly I did something wrong. GRUB is able to find the stage files using:
#grub
grub>find /grub/stage1
grub> find /grub/stage1
(hd0,0)
(hd5,0)
grub>
(hd0,0) is the desired boot drive, while (hd5,0) is the current bootable flash drive with /boot and GRUB installed.

I'm using dmraid, so just to be clear I've configured the raid using:
#modprobe dm_mod
#dmraid -ay
Then I saw the array stored in /dev/mapper/silXXXXX. I then created partitions for /boot, /, and home. At that time I was hoping to get GRUB working with the AUR package grub2-dmraid. I wasn't able to get it working for some time, so I just went ahead and installed boot and GRUB to a separate USB flash drive.
Here is the output of df -h:

Also I don't have a /proc/mdstat. That's only for mdadm RAID setups, right? It's been quite some time since I've used mdadm so I can't remember.
EDIT:
So I booted into a live Arch USB and entered the grub shell. I ran:
#grub
grub> root (hd3,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub> setup (hd3)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists.....no
Checking if "/grub/stage1 exists.......yes
Checking if "/grub/stage2 exists.......yes
Checking if "/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 exists....yes
Running "embed /grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd3)".....25 sectors are embedded.
succeeded
Running "install /grub/stage1 (hd3) (hd3))1+25 p (hd3,0)/grub/stage2 /grub/menu.lst".......succeeded
Done.
Last time I recall more errors than this, then it reporting that one was a non-critical error, so I think the problem may be solved. More to come.

And how are you spawning the php instances? I don't see that in the daemons array anywhere.
EDIT: It looks like the info in that page is no longer using pre-spawned instances, but lighttpd adaptive-spawn. The documentation has been made inconsistent it looks like.
You will note that with pre-spawned information, the config looks different[1].
You need to do one or the other, not both (eg. choose adaptive-spawn, or pre-spawn..not both).

Shouldn't /var/run and /var/run/lock point to absolute paths?
I have a setup with my 'var' on a separate partition that causes /var/run and /var/run/lock to point to nothing each time I upgrade the filesystem package and I wonder if this is a bug.
Mounted at /mnt/data is a luks encrypted partion where I keep my home and var as subdirectories. Two symlinks point to them from root:
# ls -al /
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Apr 21 2011 home -> /mnt/data/home
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 21 2011 var -> /mnt/data/var
Each time I upgrade the filesystems package however I end up with /var/run and /var/lock pointing to '../run' and ../run/lock', which in my case are the non-existing /mnt/data/run and /mnt/data/run/lock. I have to delete the symlinks and make them link to the absolute /run and /run/lock. Is there a reason the symlinks are relative instead of absolute?
[edit]
(this should have been posted in 'Pacman & Package Upgrade Issues' instead of here.)
[edit]
Last edited by rwd (2012-06-24 18:14:08)Thanks! After using bind mounts and reinstalling the filesystems package the relative links work. Still I wonder why using bind mounts instead of symlinks is the 'correct' way. The only advantage I see is to have the ability to use mount options, which In my case I don't need.

[Solved] Organize the /etc/ /opt/ and /home w/o breaking anything?
+ What are the common organizing tactics that you use?
For example, if you're going to install anything, where do you put it, how do you do it with out breaking anything, etc.
My /etc/ /opt/ and /home folders are getting out of hand.
For my home folder, I have:
Desktop, Downloads, Dropbox (the only ones that I want here), meteor, node, nvm, nplay, pkg, python2-psutil, python26, src, sublime-text-2, try-meteor, packer (file), pacman.conf (file), and dead.letter (file).

How do I learn what can be deleted here and how do I move things without breaking anything in /etc/? Is there a program that highlights what's important, what can be moved, etc.?
For my /opt/ I have:
android-sdk, dropbox, and tor-browser-en.
This doesn't bother me, but I can see that somewhere in the future where it can get cluttered.
I also have created a folder on my root called ptmp and am using it to store my packertmp-0 files since my tmp folder gave me an error. I want to do things right and not get that cluttered too. So if you know about this check the thread out here
As a new Arch Linux user, coming from Windows 8, everything is great except a few minor annoyances. I give it an 7.8/10 for bring stable.
I will open up new threads for the following, but here are the few minor annoyances I still have:
If I edit what show up on my main menu (with main menu, not menu editor [from gnome]), somehow things get re-highlighted as if I clicked restore to defaults-- so I can't edit what I don't want to show up in my main menu anymore.
I forgot what file I edited that I made Chromium run at startup and now it slows things down by running at startup.
I couldn't exchange nautilus for dolphin (I like dophin better), and couldn't get xmonad going although I got the dependancies installed (Haskell, etc.). It throws me this error:
Please check the file for errors.
/home/jayvan/.xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux: executeFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)
xmonad:
xmessage: executeFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)
X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
Major opcode of failed request: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
Serial number of failed request: 7
Current serial number in output stream: 8
I can't remove the Universal access applet. I don't need it. This should be removable.
There is no longer a high performance, low performance, balanced option for battery consumption. This should make a comeback.
I somehow edited my information of my user and it's not editable through system settigns. It shows my company, phone number, etc. I manually entered a command that I forgot in the terminal that did this. I'm not sure. This should be easily editable in Gnome 3. I don't know why it isn't.
I've created a news user and don't know how to delete it.
I couldn't get mp3tag to work with packer because it didn't have a PKGFILE. Will be trying to manually make it some time later, but it should be fixed in the AUR.
I would like to uninstall the Epiphany Browser. Desktop Search, Power Statistics but don't know how. I know it's -Rns.
Sublime Text 2 doesn't show up as a desktop item in the applications folder, I have to go to the folder and click sublime_text to launch it.
When I change YouTube to anything higher than 240p, it doesn't play and I have to refresh it.
Grub-sustomizer should come installed with Gnome, especially for those that want to dual boot Android OS (x86) or anyhting else. In fact, in the installation guide there should be a warning that if you plan to install another OS like Android OS (x86) you should partition an extra 16 GB as ext3, or if you want to install another Linux distro to partition an extra 20GB as ext4.
There isn't any multitouch gestures pre-installed that I can configure. I'll see if they even exist.
I haven't check but I'm not sure if there is a good screen capturing app.
Last, so I can switch all my friends to Arch, they've already taken an interest an I plan to do a blog post about it once I feel confident, how can I customize this scrip to install the apps I already have installed?
I'll get to posting these in seperate threads right now.

jjshinobi wrote:What are the common organizing tactics that you use?
The answer to your question is, I don't organize anything. Instead, pacman keeps track of all the files.
The only files you should need to worry about are what's in "/home". You can organize that however you want. If you have many ebooks, create a directory called "Books". Whatever.
Your story kind of reminds me of my roommate in college. As soon as he finished installing Windows XP, he would go through the entire directory structure and delete anything that was "unnecessary". It kind of scared me.
But fortunately, we don't have to do that with Arch Linux. Pacman takes care of everything, and it's super easy to create your own package. -

I have two Creative Cloud accounts, occurred by accident, I wish to merge them and have all my details and licenses under one account, how do I do that?
This is due to the different changes Adobe has gone through and unfortunately I used different emails at certain times.Under one Adobe ID you can have one CC only,if by accident you have purchased two CC under one account, it needs to be cancelled & refunded, please contact Adobe Support at

What you have experienced, though annoying, doesn't necessarily mean someone has hacked your account, though if you were finding that you were blocked because the sending limit had been reached that might indicate that you had been hacked.
What can happen is that when people receive emails which appear to come from their own address but they haven't sent they naturally tend to be concerned: however it's most unlikely that anyone has hacked their account, they've just been targeted by one of two common spammers' techniques: both arise because it's all too easy to forge the 'from' address on messages to be something other than the real one.
There are two methods. One is that the sender has forged the 'from' address to be the same as the 'to' address (so other people will see it coming from themselves, not you), presumably in the hope of confusing spam filters. It's harmless, if extremely annoying. Delete it (never ever answer spam or try to unsubscribe from it), and you don't need to be worried about it.
The other problem is that a spammer is forging your address as the 'from' address on a whole batch of messages. The first thing you hear about this is when you start getting bounce messages because the spam has been sent to non-existent addresses and is being bounced to you. There's no point at all in responding to it. It's infuriating but normally stops after a bit as they move on to another forged address.
There isn't really anything you can do about it: closing the account isn't really worth the hassle unless you are totally swamped, because you will have to tell everyone your new address. Apple can't really do any more than they already are about spam. However changing your password on general principles is a good idea. -
I need to convert PDF to Excel, however, columns and tabs make many merged cells and many blank columns. In addition to not separate the columns correctly, I see many not separate lines together in the same cell. I'm even thinking that Adobe Acrobat Pro DC has limitations. There is no way to define what points in columns to force break column? Nor create many columns that are useless? How does text to column in Excel, fixed size when we import text, and define where the breaks have columns?

This is because PDF is decidedly not a word processing or spreadsheet file format or something "like" one of those.
(see ISO 32000 for what PDF "is")
What can optimize the export of PDF page content is to start with a well-formed tagged PDF (ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1 compliant).
Without that export is what it is and one performs whatever content cleanup is needed using the native application for the export file (MS Word or Excel).

RoboHelp 9 - problem with merged TOC and index
Using RoboHelp v9.0.0.228 I have a master project which contains several merged TOCs and indexes for other CHMs. This has worked successfully for years, but has now stopped working in our translated CHMs. I have checked all the relevant settings and they appear to be correct. The English version still works correctly. Can you help please? Many thanks.
OK, so my post was just a summary really!
I have a main project with its own TOC, index and topics. I then have several other projects with their own TOCs, indexes and topics, and these are merged into the master TOC. In all these projects, we use the indexes to contain function ids for our software, so that when you press F1 in a software function, it invokes the correct Help topic in the CHM. The software is coded so that it goes to the main project first, and then looks in the merged index to find the link to the Help topic.
In the individual sub projects, the TOCs and indexes are present and work correctly. Also, in the master project, the TOC and index works correctly in the original English version. However, even though the TOCs, indexes and topics are all present and correct in the translated versions (Russian, for example) the index in the master project does not contain the entries for the sub projects. The TOCs for the sub projects do, however, work correctly. -
Hello!
I must build this POC for a client and the idea is merge XML and XPD files to feed a LiveCycle Output process and create PDF files.
I've built the XDP files and the XML to start things, now I need to figure out how to create the process to merge them in Workbench.
Is there any tutorial to help me with this task?
Thank you for any ideas!
MarcosThank you guys for helping a beginner in trouble.
I hope I will soon be able to help others here and help the comnunity.
Right now, I've so much to learn!
Thank you!

Instance name and Var for Input Text fields
I have several Input Text fields, as a form, linked to a PHP
script for which I require Var's for each field.
But I also need Instance names for each field, so I can fix
the tabIndex.
Yet, everytime I test my movie, the text fields have their
Paths (_level0.fName) written in them.
They are normally blank, and I've tried putting in some text
of my own, but the Var name is still displayed in the text fields.
Is there any way I can stop that from happening, and keep
both the Instance names and Var's in-place.
As far as I know, I need both the Instance name (for the
tabIndex) and the Var (for the PHP script) or is there a way that
the tabIndex and PHP script will work with either of the two?
Thanks
Chaz.Can you use a different name for ‘instance name’
and ‘var’? That seems to solve the problem but I
don’t know if that helps you in your situation.
For an example;
Instance name: test_txt
Var: test -
