Re: systemd, again

2014-09-06 Thread http
Most people who are not OK with systemd have better things to than try to persuade debian-devel that the debian prject's 
transition to it is problematic, and at more than just the implementation level.


See how much fun it is to belittle?  See how good it feels?

More important than numbers is content.  The objections being raised seem diverse, dire and cogent, while the defenses seem to 
be mere vague reassurances expressed in tones just as dismissive as yours was just there.

Re: PulseAudio

2013-07-19 Thread http

Having read both sets of docs (and not merely the two pages named), I have to 
assert that the question is not a troll.

The end user docs explain to end users how to use PA when everything's going 
according to plan, and cover some common glitches.

I have gained no additional understanding of the concepts behind PA, though I suppose that if I went through those pages again I 
might be able to pick out some specific terminology to search elsewhere for.

Was that a troll question? Just use your favorite
search engine.

PA also has excellent support on their IRC channels. I have been
able to solve any problem I had with it so far and in all
cases it turned out to be a user error.

Re: Check whether fsck would run

2014-12-13 Thread http

There's an option for that:

fsck -N -T

(don't show Title at startup)

Holger had the idea to add to molly-guard a check that would require
the sysadmin to manually ack a reboot if fsck would be expected to
run. I like it.

Instead of parsing df -t output, invoking tune2fs -l and doing
a whole bunch of grep magic, I wonder if there's a smarter way to
find out if fsck would do something if it were to run now.

There is

   fsck -A -t ext2,ext3,ext4,… ...

but I could not find out how to ask it the question I want answered,
which is: "hey, fsck, if you were to run right now on -All
filesystems of -type as listed, would you want to do a routine
check?"

Do you know?

Cheers,




Per man fsck ...

   *-N*Don't execute, just show what would be done.


Which, unfortunately, always outputs one line:

fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2

... but then lists the fs-specific fscks that it would run ..

[/sbin/fsck.xfs (1) -- /] fsck.xfs /dev/md0
[/sbin/fsck.ext3 (1) -- /boot] fsck.ext3 /dev/sda1
