Linux is a free Unix-type operating system originally created by Linus Torvalds with the assistance of developers around the world. Developed under the GNU General Public License , the source code for Linux is freely available to everyone.

FAQ

Storage

Umount: /mnt/sda1 is busy

Try 

umount -lf /mnt/sda1

Grow (GPT) last partition to max available

Where '3' is partition number 

parted /dev/sdf resize 3 100%

No longer allowed? 

gdisk

I deleted a file but disk is still full

It was in use by process, you'll need to kill that 

lsof -nP | grep '(deleted)'

etc


Which disk is 0.0.3.0

lsblk -dno name,hctl


Power-on or device reset occurred

I had a case where megamaid decided to spin down "unused disks" that were in JBOD. Disable that option ot switch the controller to IT mode.

Network

check if interface exists

/sys/class/net/$IF


Hardware info

Check number of CPUs

lscpu | grep Socket

Find bios version

dmidecode -s bios-version


pam_succeed_if(sudo:auth): requirement "uid >= 1000" not met

List hardware

  • lshw
  • dmidecode
  • lsusb
  • hwinfo
  • lspci
  • lscpu
dmidecode -t baseboard

BLKRRPART: Device or resource busy

spend all day or reboot

 

calling ioclt to re-read partition table: Device or resource busy

rescan partition table

Keep an eye on 

cat /proc/partitions

Partition(s) have been written, but we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change 

partprobe
kpartx /dev/sdg
partx -uv /dev/sdg (this one worked on centos 7.3!)

This one gave new disk size! Verified: CentOS 6, Ubuntu 22 

echo 1 > /sys/block/sde/device/rescan

Only one that seemed to work on (centos7.x) 

echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host2/scan

or scan all: 

echo "- - -" | tee /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/scan

The winner so far: 

blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sdg

but may throw blockdev: ioctl error on BLKRRPART: Device or resource busy


maybe 

hdparm -z /dev/sdg

Force reboot

I found sometimes 'reboot' and 'shutdown' don't work in virtual machines, in that case try: 

#sync
echo s > /proc/sysrq-trigger
#optionally umount
echo u > /proc/sysrq-trigger
#reboot
echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger

Misc

check if you're in virtual or physical machine

dmidecode -s system-manufacturer
virt-who
lscpu
virt-what

watch which files a process opens

watch ls -l /proc/`pidof clamd`/fd

timestamp to human readable

date -d @1522142497

Mignight commander/dialog strange characters

Quick fix: 

export LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1

This probleem seems to be related to screen/su -

kpartx failing silently

No output/result when trying to create: 

kpartx -lv /dev/mapper/foo

this might means the device hasn't been partitioned

No output when trying to delete: 

kpartx -d /dev/mapper/foop1

means you should use 

kpartx -d /dev/mapper/foo

 

 

 

Create swapfile

fallocate -l 4G /var/swapfile
mkswap /var/swapfile

Temporary: 

swapon -v /var/swapfile

In fstab: /var/swapfile swap swap sw,prio=-1

swapon failed: Invalid argument 

problably trying to use fallocate on rhel/centos, use dd instead

partx: error adding partition

try kpartx instead


Find maximum depth of directory

find /var/www -type d | awk -F"/" 'NF > max {max = NF} END {print max}'



Booting

Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked

You probably messed up your grub config, maybe GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX. Boot rescue CD image :)
