https://bbs.archlinux.org – Hi there, I want to disable the clearing of the /tmp folder on boot, but I can't seem to find the appropriate line in etc/rc.sysinit.Apparently this should be the line/bin/mountpoint -q /tmp || /bin/rm -rf /tmp/* /tmp/.* &>/dev/nullbut my rc.sysinit does not contain that at all:mountpoint -q /proc || mount -n -t proc proc /proc -o nosuid,noexec,nodev mountpoint -q /sys || mount -n -t sysfs sys /sys -o nosuid,noexec,nodev mountpoint -q /run || mount -n -t tmpfs run /run -o mode=0755,size=10M,nosuid,nodev mountpoint -q /dev || mount -n -t devtmpfs udev /dev -o mode=075 (HowTos)

Any idea how I can merge two file systems on Debain 6? If that's too difficult I'm ok with resizing them, but how? I would like to increase the size of /dev/sda1 and make /dev/sda1 instead smaller.

All partitions mounted twice 22 weeks 6 days ago

The problem started when I switched to systemd.This is my /proc/mounts:rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 proc /proc proc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0 sys /sys sysfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0 dev /dev devtmpfs rw,nosuid,relatime,size=1551160k,nr_inodes=216763,mode=755 0 0 run /run tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755 0 0 /dev/sda5 / ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 0 securityfs /sys/kernel/

my problem is that the cdrom is listed properly in /etc/mtab file but not in /etc/fstab file.

mtab contents:

Change swap size after upgrade 16 weeks 6 days ago

I have just upgraded my cpu/mobo/RAM and I would like to now increase the swap size without having to reformat my entire drive. Is this possible?

I had 2 users Diegus (root privileges) and Beta on Jaunty and 2 partitions (Y and U) on a USB HDD. I wanted to have partition Y only mountable for user Diegus.

I want my raid drive to mount at startup. Right now it behaves like an external drive, I have to click on the icon after start up to get it to mount and it asks for a password each time. Can I get around this with this command sda1 or sda5 I am not sure?

No, unless for some crazy reason you are using LVM with your external hard drive (you're not).  Btw, you need to quote anything with spaces in all known shells to me.  So for you, you would need to do:sudo umount "/media/FreeAgent Drive/"Also, you can figure out where it was mounted in the first place by simply typing:[someuser@somebox somedir]$ mount proc on /proc type pr

IPod wont mount Dbus Error 3 years 14 weeks ago

Until recently I had an ipod 4th gen nano working well. Now, when ever I try to mount it I get the following error

The Ipod will charge and appears as "connected." I have tried manually mounting it to no avail.

My ubuntu is 12.04LTS

I was used apt-get to install opera and cowsay.
