| [05:30] <r4y> I know Ubuntu does fsck on it's own every so often, I can't remember but I think it's around 20 or 30 reboots. I am wondering if it is a good idea to change that number to say 10 reboot or less. What do you guys think? | |
| [05:32] <r4y> I just did sudo touch /forcefsck and rebooted because I have had my computer on for many days now and I don't reboot that often. | |
| [05:33] <r4y> I am not having any trouble but after the troubles I had had over the course of 3 years with hard drives I just want to be careful | |
| [05:33] <Unit193> This (should) have a lot of info on that. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutoFsck | |
| [05:36] <r4y> I really don't really think it takes that long for fsck to do it's think on my hard drive. I don't know why people complain about it other than hard drives that are maybe terabyte sized or perhaps 500 GBs or more. | |
| [05:37] <r4y> I meant to say thing not think, sorry | |
| [05:37] <r4y> I just had a long day. | |
| [05:38] <r4y> Isn't there a default program that I can change instead?, I thought I remember seeing. | |
| [05:39] <r4y> Never mind. I will Google it: | |
| [05:39] <r4y> http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&source=hp&q=ubuntu+change+fsck+interval&pbx=1&oq=ubuntu+change+fs&aq=2v&aqi=g1g-v3&aql=&gs_sm=1&gs_upl=702651l708163l0l710588l16l10l0l6l6l2l262l1974l0.6.4l16l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=19b59b6572733bc8&biw=1024&bih=547 | |
| [05:40] <r4y> sorry for that | |
| [05:40] <r4y> I guess I should have used tiny url, but I have only used that once before. | |
| [05:40] <r4y> I forgot | |
| [05:43] <r4y> How often might you think is too often to use fsck? | |
| [05:44] <Unit193> Well, is there a reason to change the default? Do you suspect something may go wrong? | |
| [05:45] <r4y> I just want to make sure everything is fine. Like I said I don't reboot that often. | |
| [05:46] <r4y> I've been messing around with a lot of files | |
| [05:46] <r4y> I found this link: | |
| [05:46] <r4y> http://blogs.pcworld.co.nz/pcworld/tux-love/2009/11/hidden_linux_what_the_fsck.html | |
| [05:48] <r4y> That might not be the right way to do what I am asking for. | |
| [05:49] <r4y> I mean for Ubuntu that is. Not that I would know. | |
| [05:49] <r4y> I stand corrected: | |
| [05:50] <r4y> http://nixcraft.com/ubuntu-debian/11709-forced-file-check-fsck.html | |
| [05:50] <urlin2u> r4y, I would not worry about it just have backups and an image. | |
| [05:53] <r4y> I need to syncronize my back up, as I haven't done so in quite some time. No I do not want a program to do it for me. I like to go through files which forces me to rethink how I want and where I want folders and files to be placed as well as go through files to minimize what I have stored and so on. | |
| [05:53] <r4y> Thank you for talking to me. | |
| [05:53] <r4y> by :) / | |
| [05:53] <r4y> I meant bye | |
| [05:54] <urlin2u> r4y, always be prepared for full bricking really. :) | |
| [09:24] <ianp5a> I need to find an easy way to access a local network share. | |
| [09:24] <ianp5a> I can browse them in nautilus | |
| [09:25] <ianp5a> but they dont show up when I browse in an applicatiuon (such as GRsync) | |
| [10:37] <ianp5a> I need to find an easy way to access a local network share. I can browse them in nautilus but they don't show up when I browse in an application (such as GRsync) | |
| [10:41] <geirha> ianp5a: That means GRsync does not interface with gnome-volume-manager (or whatever it's called). | |
| [10:41] <geirha> But you can still access them by going to the hidden directory named ".gvfs" in your homedir | |
| [10:52] <ianp5a> geirha: looking in .gvfs in Nautilus shows it's empty | |
| [10:53] <ianp5a> geirha: and typing that in the grsync file finder does not find anything either | |
| [10:57] <geirha> Ok, so you didn't mount the filesystem via nautilus? | |
| [10:58] <ianp5a> In Nautilus I click on Network and it shows all devices on the LAN | |
| [11:00] <geirha> When you open a network share, it should mount it, and it should become available under ~/.gvfs | |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | |
| [11:01] <geirha> If you want it always mounted, you could add an entry for it in /etc/fstab | |
| [11:01] <ianp5a> it appears to mount it. The device is shown as a folder with the eject button next to it. | |
| [11:02] <geirha> and ''ls ~/.gvfs'' still does not show anything? | |
| [11:03] <ianp5a> The fstab method would mount the share as a disk. But that way is too complicated for what I am looking for. | |
| [11:04] <geirha> That's what nautilus does too | |
| [11:08] <ianp5a> when Nautilus does it, it appeas as a folder | |
| [11:08] <ianp5a> with fstab it appears in Nautilus as a Disk and the apps can see it | |
| [11:15] <ianp5a> i'm looking for a solution that is easy for everyone similar to Windows 7 where the apps can see the network. | |
| [11:17] <geirha> The problem is that different desktop environments handle this differently. | |
| [11:17] <geirha> Hopefully they'll standardize soon | |
| [11:32] <ianp5a> If there was an easy way to generate the entry in fstab, I think that would solve it for all the applications. | |
