Thanks for all the information! As usual, "things are just not as easy as you might think". I have four or five Linux, C, vi books on order that should arrive any day. I was reading one of the responses where the person could not find the output of a compile. From 20 years ago, I remembered it...

I used the "search" here a tek-tips (next to Forums) at top. I did the search here at tek-tips on the Linux Desktop forum. I searched for "running c". It seems to me that in the search, I would be using whatever tek-tips is using. Pardon my ignorance ,(I am 71) but what does Google have to do...

I am a rookie user here. I have a dual boot PC with MS Vista/ Ubuntu Linux. I used UNIX about 10 years ago and programmed in C. I am old (71) and retired and I thought, just for fun, I would do a bit of programming in C with a target, if I live long enough, to try C++. I did a search for...

********************SUCCESS******************************** Well apparently my theory of unplugging just the HD-DVR and not both the HD-DVR and eSATA at the "no LEDs" point in receiver reset was the key. When I powered down the UPS which had both the HD-DVR and the eSATA drive plugged in, I got...

I finally got the UPS side of things straightened out a bit. I now intend to turn off the beeps on my other UPSes. I have done one already and it seemed to work. The reason I am mentioning this is that if I intend to do the other UPSes, I can do a "graceful power down" on the eSATA while I am...

Many Many Thanks for the info!! I strongly believe that all the problems I am having with the mount are due to my UN "graceful power shut down". My thinking is that it is a dynamic system even in "off", you have to a special shutdown to get a "clean Superblock". IE menu reset and unplug just as...

To FlyBoyTim: I was GREATLY impressed by your resume. Going in, I kinda figured that the folks at Tek-Tips were much more knowledgable than the "normal" user of DBSTALK, but I guess I didn't really understand just how much more knowledgable. Quite frankly I don't feel worthy enough to even talk...

Dear BigBadBen, (what a handle!!!, I love it!!!) I see what you are saying. For a long long time, I didn't know ANYTHING about a mount command being out of that side of things for 20 years. I really like your mount point name /mnt/eSATA, that sure makes things a whole lot clearer to the less...

Windows 3.11 goes a way back to "my time". I did a lot of work on computer data bases in the 70s and 80s. I worked in computer accounting on mainframes. I always ask folks, and how many boxes of IBM cards have YOU punched? My answer would be hundreds of boxes. I used to program Snoopys (from...

A Post Script: After going back to DBSTALK and searching their archives I found the solution to the "dirty block" problem. Apparently I did an UN graceful shutdown. DirecTV HD-DVRs do some things when in the "off" position. Just unplugging the eSATA, I guess interupts the real time writings to...

Well the folks at DBSTALK finally gave me the correct syntax ed@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t xfs -o rtdev=/dev/sdb3 /dev/sdb2 /mnt/pta mount: /dev/sdb2: can't read superblock [ 175.510180] XFS mounting filesystem sdb2[ 175.628493] Starting XFS recovery on filesystem: sdb2 (logdev: internal) [...

ed@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get remove evms [sudo] password for ed: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package evms ed@ubuntu:~$ Well it sounded promising anyway. I did a man on mount - 1200 lines There is some talk about...

ed@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t xfs -o rtdev=/dev/sdb2 /dev/sdb2 /mnt/pta mount: /dev/sdb2 already mounted or /mnt/pta busy I have been told that the mount statement has a syntax error in it. Not really, it's more of a "dummy error" in that I used /dev/sdb2 twice which may be why it is busy. Quite...

As per your request - ((I see disk /dev/sdb at 2000.4 GB that has got to be the eSATA, doesn't it?? 2000.4 GB = 2.0004 TB right?)) ed@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l [sudo] password for ed: Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of...

Well I thought I had "broken the code" ---- WRONG AGAIN I tried: ed@ubuntu:~$ sudo mkdir /mnt/pta ed@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t xfs -o rtdev=/dev/sdb2 /dev/sdb2 /mnt/pta mount: /dev/sdb2 already mounted or /mnt/pta busy "places" does show a 16bg file system - unknown device /dev/sdb2...

Well, I made "great progress" (for me anyway). I got to the command line, Applications - Accessories - Terminal. I even remembered that you could recall a previous command using the arrow keys (now that's a 20 year memory stretch). The eSATA Mount looked like it was "going well", Linux...

Many many thanks for the information!! Well I need to "digest" things a bit. The only book I could find was "Linux Complete". I guess I'll have to read up on Linux a lot. Or at least spend some time in Ubuntu X Windows help. I have spent most of about a week reading forums. Where I am right now...

Well if the Ubuntu was running in what I'll call command mode where you type in commands, I could do that. Actually I was expecting that kind of setup since that was the way things worked twenty years ago which was my last use of a 'nix. This is a Windows mode and I am stumped to shutdown. I...

Well I finally got Ubuntu Linux up and running in a dual boot setup on my PC. I had to use a USB keyboard. Anyhow I didn't seem to be able to shut down Ubuntu. I tried the help but never saw the shutdown command. Anyhow why I was trying Ubuntu was to "see" the data on my DirecTV eSATA. It's a...
