Persistant Block Naming for USB?

I once seen a topic on this forum about something similar to an issue I am having, evertime I reboot and put my usb in the drive letter chages thus making my fstab line useless. How would I goo about making a udev rule for usb block naming?

That's the one I had in mind.
Ah thanks worked the way I needed it to.

[Solved] Persistent Device Naming for Full Disk Encryption & USB Boot

Using the following boot option does not work while using FDE (dm-crypt plain) due to the filesystem being unreachable until decryption.
cryptdevuce=UUID=xxxx-xxxx:root
sda
└ root /
sdb
└ sdb1 /boot
This forces the use of /dev/sda for booting, but occasionally a USB device is mapped to sda instead.
Is there a way to use Persistent Block Device Naming for this type of FDE?

I guess I should be more clear. The entire sda device is encrypted. This meas that during the initialization there is no UUID is read from the disk because the filesystem cannot be read until it is unencrypted.
This leaves me in a catch 22 where I cannot use UUID until the device is unencrypted, but I need UUID to boot & decrypt the device properly. Here is an example of what the computer sees in the Arch Install.
NAME FSTYPE LABEL UUID MOUNTPOINT
sda
sdb iso9660 ARCH_201501 2015-01-01-09-54-22-00
├─sdb1 iso9660 ARCH_201501 2015-01-01-09-54-22-00 /run/archiso/bootmnt
└─sdb2 vfat ARCHISO_EFI 9051-9287
sdc
└─sdc1 vfat 4EC5-5B7D (normally /boot)
As you can see, sda has no uuid.
So I guess what I'm asking is if there is any alternative method because it does not look like I can use anything in the wiki.

Persistent device naming - cannot mount root as rw

hello people,
i started using persistent block device naming but quickly realized i can only use it for non-root (/) partitions in fstab otherwise it will only get mounted as readonly and my system (arch current) will cease to boot.
# this line only mounts fs as ro
#/dev/disk/by-uuid/d02a0ef4-8cb3-460c-a48a-471f2798e4ad / ext3 default 0 1
# i get stuck while mounting fs as ro when using this line
#UUID=d02a0ef4-8cb3-460c-a48a-471f2798e4ad / ext3 default 0 1
# so i have to use the old format (non persistent device naming)
/dev/sda6 / ext3 defaults 0 1
# the other partitions (same disk) work just fine
/dev/disk/by-uuid/cc295f7d-3927-433d-bcc0-2d2267e0d672 /home ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/disk/by-uuid/936823be-b9bb-4a9d-a4e4-b4d62972f0af swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/disk/by-uuid/E8A04533A0450A10 /mnt/win-c ntfs-3g locale=sk_SK.utf8,nls=utf8,users 0 0
snippet from menu.lst:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/d02a0ef4-8cb3-460c-a48a-471f2798e4ad ro
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
does anyone have an idea what may be causing this?
thanks.
jozef

Both of the UUID fstab lines for your root filesystem have 'default' instead of 'defaults'. Is that intentional, or is it a typo in your post?.
I don't know offhand whether 'default' is even a valid option, or what effect it would have if it is.

Problem with NI-IMAQ for usb

hi. i have labview 8.0 and vision 7.1. i installed ni-imaq for usb but the vi blocks didn't appear in function palet. does ni-imaq work with labview 8.0 and is it important to have the same labview and vision? if there is a new version of ni-imaq to work with labview 8.0 please send me the link.

Ali,
As far as compatibility, LabVIEW 8.0 is compatible with Vision 8.0, 8.2, and 8.2.1 -- it is not compatible with Vision 7.1 so that may be causing the issues you are seeing. LabVIEW versions are only compatible with the same, and newer versions of Vision. As far as IMAQ, here is a link to the Version Compatibilities of LabVIEW and IMAQ. Let me know if you have more questions!

Disable spotlight for USB thumbdrives?

All,
Is there a way to prevent OSX from doing a Spotlight inventory of every USB drive that I plug into my MacBook? What I mean is, every time I plug a USB thumb drive into my laptop, and then take it over to a Linux or Windows machine, I notice that OSX has written three files to the drive:
.Spotlight-V100
.Trashes
._.Trashes
I want to disable this feature, just for USB drives.
Hints?

Hm. I have this problem too.
Played with this a bit, but doesn't seem to work 100% of the time. I can alter the settings as you described, but they are only good until I eject the USB drive.
More specifically:
1. Plug in USB thumb drive.
2. Go to Spotlight settings (described above) and select my drive to be excluded from Spotlight indexing.
3. Work a bit.
4. Eject (remove) USB thumb drive.
5. Check Spotlight settings, and notice that USB device is no longer in the the "exclude" (or privacy) list.
It would seem that the "privacy" settings are not persistent across sessions. Once you eject, all bets are off and you have to redo this process every time.
If there is no built-in way to do this, perhaps scripting could take care of this ... ?
Someone has to have had this problem before we did?

GPO to block writing to USB not fully effective

We have a GPO to block writing to USB media and it appears to work when using Windows Explorer. There is an error when trying to copy files to USB through the GUI.
However, I noticed that it seems to be ignored by command line.
What can be done to enforce this more effectively?

Hi MyGposts,
Please check if the value of USBSTOR was set to 4 (=disabled) in following registry path.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBSTOR
Please also refer to following article and restrict access to USBSTOR.INF and
USBSTORE.PNF via group policy, then check if this issue still exist.

How to set Blocking Indicator for product specific TransportationLanes?

Hi All,
I'm facing a problem while trying to set the blocking indicator for product specific Transportation Lanes-external procurement.
How can i proceed on the same?
I've figured out 2 methods for blocking the product specific TLanes.
1. using /SAPAPO/TR_TL_TRANSFER_BAPI.
2. using BAPI_TRLSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI.
I tried using the BAPI - /SAPAPO/TR_TL_TRANSFER_BAPI, which comes inside the DELETE BAPI - BAPI_TRLSRVAPS_DELMULTI. Although I had passed the parameters reg. external procurement, nothing seemed to be happening in the system. There was no blocking indicator - D(locked and flagged for deletion) set against the subjected TLane. In fact, to my amazement, the BAPI didn't return even a single msg. BAPIRETURN internal table after execution was empty.
Here, I'm passing:
(IV_LOGQS) TYPE /SAPAPO/LOGQS
(IV_LOGSYS) TYPE LOGSYS
(IV_CALLER) TYPE /SAPAPO/MD_CALLER
(IT_TR) TYPE /SAPAPO/TR_TTD_TR
(IT_TR_X) TYPE /SAPAPO/TR_TTX_TR
(IT_TRPROD_SRC) TYPE /SAPAPO/TR_TTD_TRPROD_SRC and
(IT_TRPROD_SRC_X) TYPE /SAPAPO/TR_TTX_TRPROD_SRC
I haven't tried on the second method yet. Is there any other programming alternative for setting the blocking indicator of a TLane / multiple Tlanes?
Could anyone pls explain and guide me on a suitable method to be chosen and the process to be followed, parameters to be passed, etc.

Hi Sanjay,
Use the standard BAPI: BAPI_TRLSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI2 (according to SCM version you are using)
to update the deletion flag for product specific T-lane, in this BAPI you have to pass the data to EXTERNAL_PROCUREMENT parameter table in which LOCKED_FLG field is there in which you can pass the "D" for deletion or block flag.
Also you have to pass the same entries in EXTERNAL_PROCUREMENT_X parameter table of this BAPI.
If any further help required, refer the documentation of BAPI or let me know.
I hope this will help you to solve the issue.

Saurabh

I am looking for a good Call Blocking App for my iPhone 5...any suggestions??

I am in need of a good call blocking app for iPhone....please any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

As Randy Landry1 says, Google for "silent ringtone", download and install on you iPhone as a ringtone.
Now create a contact for the offending phone number. Assign the contact to the silent ringtone and set no vibrate.
When that number calls it will not ring, nor vibrate. It will light up the screen, but if you do not see that, it will not bother you. They could leave voice mail, but that is easily deleted.
And if it is a situation where the are violating the do not call list, you can use the missed call log to report the number to the FTC.
Also, if the calls are abusive or threading, and the leave a voice mail, you something to show the police.

Block Vendor for Goods Receipt without QM

Dear Experts,
We have a specific requirement to set a purchasing block in a vendor (XK05), which must necessarily include a block in goods receipt.
As far as I know, and according to SAP Note 64440 - MMIM: Block vendor for goods receipt, this is only possible activating QM for the material.
However, our client cannot do it for all the materials so we need to find out an alternative solution. Does anyone have any idea how can we do it?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Andreia

Hi guys,
Thank you very much for your quick replies!
Jürgen L, you are right. The requirement is not to block the GR forever, but just during a period of time, in specific situations.
AKTP MM, we will check the BADI: MB_MIGO_BADI, as suggested. I will come back with feedback, as soon as possible.
If you have more suggestions please feel free to share!
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Andreia

Block invoices for PO with no GR-based IV flag

Hello SAP experts,
I need your help with finding a way to block invoices for PO with no GR-based IV flag. At our company, we treat service POs almost the same as material POs (to avoid receipt of service entry). The only difference from material PO is that service PO does not have the flag for GR. We customized our EBP to have this done.
Now, accounting wants to automatically block all invoices associate with service POs. In this case it would be a PO with no GR. I tried LIV configuration but it is only for price, quantity and etc. I also tried blocking with IR before GR but it didn't work because there is no GR.
Is there a way to achive automatic invoice block in this case?
Appreciate your help.
-AT-

Hi Annie,
if the configuration doesn't help you enough, you would have to add some custom logic after the invoice has been created.
Technically speaking, I believe there exists a business add-in (BAdI) where you could enter a piece of code which would after the invoice creation check the GR and block it if appropriate. Another implementation option would be a mini-workflow - there you would have a step which checks the GR existence and blocks the invoice.
Hope this helps, I suggest talking to your local abap consultant for more details,
