Dude- where's my SCSI? :)

chmod -R 700 /somewhere

That will make everything read write and exec for the owner of the file... for every single file in the directory /somewhere. Assuming the owner is root, root.

755 might be more what you're looking for that's read, write and execute owner, read and execute everyone else...

Be careful chmod'ing, it can get ugly.

What exactly is it not letting root execute?

That's what I don't get- it was the things I had previously looked at, such as /proc/scsi/scsi 'n' all that rot. Anywhoo- I forgot to mention- iffin I have files on me two SCSIs that I dun wanna loose if I partition 'em- eh- well. To make it short: Is there a way to skip the partitioning?

Sorry for being even more of a pain!

Yeah just mount the partitions as is... what are they formatted? vfat? ntfs?

mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/somewhere

Of course you have to create /mnt/somewhere or name it anything really, its just a mount point.

To figure out what the actual partition is, like /dev/sda1 is the first partition of the first scsi disk, but if its jumpered for a different scsi id, it may be /dev/sdc1 if its 3rd or /dev/sdf if its 6th, dmesg will tell you which is which.

Except now we have new problems- (Should I open a new thread?)

It seems that I can't login under any of the users, only root. If I try to log in as a user all I get is the blue screen before the backround loads and a mouse, it can move by the by.

I've let it sit for a while hoping it was just reaally slow- and I tried creating a new user to see what was up- but no go.

Whadid I do this time? -.-

Earlier, when you asked about chmod, did you change the file permissions on anything? If so, what were they offhand? Also, can you log in from a ttty as a user: hit ctrl+alt+F2 after logging in as root. You can switch back to X with ctrl+alt+F7.

Hmmm...it appears that /dev/null is giving the users a bunch of permission deniednesses- perhaps I chmoded the /dev folder and didn't notice? I'll just go in a check the user allowing stuffness.

((Wow! I love the little change to change back thing!))

Kit · 01-11-2003, 06:10 PM

So to fix this would I do something like chmod g+rwx /dev?

Kit · 01-11-2003, 06:52 PM

Never mind! I got it!! Soooo no assistance needed- thanks much so far- and this thread is (FINALLY) officially closed!

my lspci tells me i have an Adaptec AHA-7850 (rev 3.) but i'm not sure how to go about inserting it's module, how do i do that?

finegan · 03-05-2003, 08:34 AM

It should be:

/sbin/modprobe aic7xxx.o

Also, when in doubt, just start a new thread on stuff like this...

Cheers,
