First Post / First Question

[JJBliss]

OK. My first post.

I've read, read, read, read and read (I broke my ankle before Christmas, So i've had nothing to do but study ) ;)

Anyway... I am quite sure I have all the answers I'll need (used search and bookmarks like a mad man) when my 80GB Maxtor comes in the mail to upgrade my DSR6000 to 25Xtreme with service enabled.. Except these three...

1) Should I / Do I have to chattr the hack directory to make it "write protected/immutable" or is there no danger of it being deleted upon reboot ? If so, ( I think I just read that it couldn't hurt in case of bad shutdown), what is the exact command in linux to protect an entire directory ? Or is protecting each individual file inside that directory sufficient? (linux newbie)

2) I know I've read about a million times that step 14b is the only thing I need to do. ( I even understand WHY !) I reviewed the rc.sysinit file and I am curious if there is a command in there that makes the fixsub.tcl executable. There must be, or I would have read that I needed to chmod +x it. Can someone just tell me what line that is (It's the only way I'll learn it) ?

3) Sorta the same as 1)... Should I chattr +i the fixsub.tcl or is that tended to on Surgeon's image ? (whether via image or rc.sysinit)

Gee.. I hope that was a reasonable first message.

Thanks

1. You don't have to.
2. Everything is hadled by the Xtreme script, but, you can use chmod 755 <filename>
3. Don't do anything to it.

Enjoy,

Dennis

OK. That was painless.

Thanks.

As soon as things get going, I will report back
