The small linux problem thread

I wouldn’t mix btrfs and lvm. Just stick with lvm.

Heh, y’know what, I don’t automount the Windows partition, but I do automount the games-partition on the same drive :sweat_smile:

Thanks, was kinda thinking that. Not sure how to fix this mess now tho…

Might really just have to nuke the Windows/Game drive and install on that…

Just reformat the root logical volume and use home as-is.

Wait I can delete the Volume Group without nuking the actual Volumes?

Don’t delete any volume groups.

Just reformat the root logical volume and reinstall fedora onto it. And map your existing home filesystem without formatting.

That will result in the same layout you had with a fresh install.

Ah OK, yeah that’s what I did when I experimented with the btrfs thing above… guess I’d just be going with ext4 again then?
Bit of a bummer cause I wanted to play around with btrfs for a bit :sweat_smile:

Yeah ext4 or xfs. I’d go with ext4.

Thanks for the help so far.

what should my basic fstab entry be?

exports:
/mnt/data/thingy 10.10.10.10(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)

fstab:
10.10.10.1/mnt/thingy /mnt/thingy nfs defaults 0 0

I’ve gone through the webs and tried few things, and tried t o make them congruent. but no luck. i set the client folders to chown nobody:nogroup

On the server side I am using the following
Exports:

/srv/nfs/universe            *(fsid=0,rw,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)
/srv/nfs/universe/AudioBooks *(rw,sync,nohide,no_subtree_check)
/srv/nfs/universe/Music      *(rw,sync,nohide,no_subtree_check)
/srv/nfs/universe/Pictures   *(rw,sync,nohide,no_subtree_check)
/srv/nfs/universe/Videos     *(rw,sync,nohide,no_subtree_check)

fstab:

/mnt/universe       /srv/nfs/universe  none    bind,nofail,_netdev          0     0

On the client side here is what my main machine looks like:
fstab:

# NasberryPi NFS Share
nasberrypi:/                               /media/universe nfs4 defaults,nofail,_netdev  0       0

As you can seem my setup is pretty basic and wide open on my internal network.

You need a colon after the ip address

I totally glossed over that.

fstab needs its own visudo

Yeah. I agree. As Unix-like systems become more accessible, many people are going to do weird things and there should be some sanity check besides mount -a to ensure that you did not do something dumb.

TIL findmnt

I’m seeing it in Linux base installs across Debian and RHEL distros (and Arch). Not in BSD.

interdasting. Never heard of it.
Seems legit.

**Edit
Coming from a site like sleeplessbeastie you would think FreeBSD would be covered.

The Colon is actually there, i just didn’t cut/paste my config thanks @oO.o

@Mastic_Warrior, Why is there an fstab entry on the server side? Is it needed?

does findmt validate your ftsab?

no im on 20.04

It should be there… or am I misunderstanding what you’re saying?
