| adhoc | oh noes, was it always rhyming slang ?!? | 00:28 |
| al1r4d | i fell in love with gnome ecosystem. wow, what a day | 07:59 |
| onefang | Your romance with gnomes is off topic I suspect. | 08:15 |
| al1r4d | ough, sorry ( | 09:51 |
| paculino | Is it possible to reload fstab when using sysv init without rebooting? | 16:31 |
| gnarface | paculino: it's not a preloaded or cached item. it's loaded directly every time by whatever refers to it. what are you actually trying to do? | 16:32 |
| paculino | I copied my 512 GB home to a larger partition | 16:33 |
| paculino | And made a new swap partition | 16:33 |
| gnarface | so you want to mount the new home as /home? | 16:33 |
| gnarface | keep in mind you can't unmount anything you're still accessing | 16:34 |
| gnarface | ...so you'll have to log out of whatever users are on /home first | 16:34 |
| gnarface | (and stop any system daemons or other programs referring to any files in there too, which might include the graphical login manager, i think, depending...) | 16:34 |
| gnarface | do that, then you can umount /home | 16:35 |
| gnarface | (as root, of course) | 16:35 |
| gnarface | then edit the fstab, and the next call to mount /home should see the changes immediately | 16:36 |
| gnarface | (it might be easier to just reboot) | 16:36 |
| paculino | I'll reboot after lunch | 16:37 |
| gnarface | you can change swap you're not using with the swapon and swapoff commands | 16:37 |
| amarsh04 | Linux kernel compilation problem that I had the day before yesterday: http://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=54454#p54454 | 16:37 |
| paculino | I already have, thank you | 16:37 |
| paculino | I treat uptime like a high score in practice | 16:38 |
| gnarface | amarsh04: i saw that; weird | 16:38 |
| amarsh04 | took me a bit of thinking to find, afterwards I did a "find /usr -print|xargs file|grep i386" to see if there were any i386 binaries lurking | 16:39 |
| gnarface | clever | 16:39 |
| paculino | man7 says to use systemctl reload on systemd after fstab edits (I've never done that), so I thought changing home live was feasible | 16:39 |
| gnarface | paculino: it's probably not actually feasible with systemd either, it probably just restarts everything for you | 16:40 |
| gnarface | maybe not even that, i don't know | 16:41 |
| amarsh04 | I'm one for doing "init 1" then "init U" and "exit" to reload just about everything rather than a complete reboot | 16:45 |
| paculino | Does that have any notable risks? I'm not very knowledgeable about the inner workings | 16:51 |
| gnarface | well, save your work first... | 16:54 |
| paculino | I'll just reboot | 16:57 |
| paculino | I do have a complete duplicate of everything now though | 16:58 |
| gnarface | you could resize another partition into the freed space | 16:58 |
| gnarface | or, i dunno... maybe software raid? | 16:59 |
| paculino | I will resize/combine partitions once I see this works out | 17:08 |
