• Installing Oracle 11 g RAC 2: cannot delete directory under/tmp bootstrap

  People,
  
  Hello. I want to install Oracle 11 g RAC 2 with 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2 which BONES are Oracle Linux 5.6) VMPlayer and according to the tutorial
  
  http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-RAC-on-Linux-56-using-VMware.html
  
  I'm installing network infrastructure. I'm on step 7/10 (check the installation grid environment) and you get this error:
  
  "Free space: Rac2: / tmp '.
  Cause: Could not determine the mounting point for the specified location.
  Action: Check the specified location is available.
  Expected value: n/a
  "Actual value: n/a"
  
  
  In order to correct the above error, I run "cluster verification utility" according to
  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E14072_01/RAC.112/e10717/CVU.htm I run the following command:
  
  [ora11g@rac1-] $ /home_grid/runcluvfy.sh pre - crsinst - n rac1, rac2-verbose stage
  
  Output:
  / bin/rm: cannot remove directory ' / tmp/bootstrap ': operation not permitted
  ./runcluvfy.sh:line 99:/tmp/bootstrap/ouibootstrap.log: permission denied
  
  
  The above output, we see that the bootstrap of under/tmp directory is causing the problem. The solution is to remove bootstrap directory. I run the 2 commands:
  
  [ora11g@rac1 tmp] $ rmdir bootstrap
  
  Output: Operation not permitted
  
  bootstrap [ora11g@rac1 tmp] $ rm - rf
  
  Output: cannot remove bootstrap: operation not permitted.
  
  [ora11g@rac2 tmp] $ ls
  
  Output: there is no directory "bootstrap".
  
  My questions are:
  
  First of all, who "cannot remove bootstrap in rac1" cause/tmp in rac2 could not be determine mount point?
  
  Secondly, all folk can help remove bootstrap directory under the directory/tmp?
  
  
  Thank you.

  Change ownership and permission to your home of Oracle mount point will not fix your problems with your directory/tmp. Please see my previous response. The directory/tmp uses a little "sticky", that defines the owner of a file or a directory on the owner of the process, when it was created. You've probably run a previous attempt to install Oracle by another user instead of 'ora11g', in your example, so when you run a later installation as the user 'ora11g' he can't of course cleaning of these files. For security reasons, you cannot create a directory in / tmp, as a single user and use the other to remove it unless you're root or set access permissions. Umask will define access permissions when you create a file or a directory. The value of umask (default 0022) will be deducted from 777, causing e.g. 755 or 775 in your examples. If you need help to understand these codes, Google will be your best friend. Regarding cross access of files between nodes, make sure you have equivalence (ssh key) user installation and functioning. Cluster verification utility will also check if it works.

• Cannot delete directory tree

  I had a request are able to convince Windows to screw up its file structure in two folders. When I try to delete the directory runaway tree I get the message error "the folder contains items whose names are too long for the Recycle Bin.  After choosing the option Yes it is followed by another error message "the name of the source file is larger that can be supported by the file system. Try to move to a place that has a way more short name, or try renaming to shorter name (s) before performing this operation. ', then' the file name may be too long for the destination folder. You can shorten the file name and try again, or try a location with a shorter path "."
  The end result is that the directory tree cannot be deleted.
  I think there may be a third-party tool out there to remedy this wrong behavior of the BONE from the window.
  I had hoped that Microsoft would provide a way to correct that a fault that is OS allowed to occur.

  Place the blame in the wrong place.

  Too many times have I given ridiculous people with file names and folders structures.

  You may be able to create a link to a directory close to the files you want to learn to (probably something similar was done by the application that supposedly does this) using something like the old command SUBST to start a directory/drive (or give the impression that even when it starts) at a different point than the original reality (google for the subst command.)

• Cannot delete the music due to the error of the Admin

  Hi all, I recently met a mistake with my administrator account. Whenever I try to delete a file or a folder in 'My music', I get a message saying "you need to provide the staff privileges to perform this action." I am the only admin on my laptop, but it told me I must ask permission to administrator with the administrator. He also mentioned the name of my admin profile (S117/mozman). I tried to take possession of the file, to see that I have already. Change permissions does not work and the possibility to apply the change to all folders and containers in the folder is grayed out permanently. I'm out of space fast hard drive and so far have not allowed to delete anything music, photos, videos or any other media besides file. Any assistance or solutions would be greatly popular. Thank you =)

  Well, I tried this and I've had some success. I stopped getting the message "you need administrator permission", and instead he traded in the ' cannot delete files: access is denied "or something like that. In all cases, I did all my permissions and other things, it turns out that some malicious software must have gotten past my windows firewall and established a camp in my music folder. A scan quick rootkit well fixed. Thank you very much for your contribution :)

• cannot delete emails in outlook express

  Original title: outlook express

  cannot delete emails from the Inbox

  1. move all the messages you want to keep out folders, sent items and deleted items, and in other local OE folders you have created for archiving (backup) of such messages.

  1B. move 99% of your messages in your Inbox folder to other folders the of OE, too.

  2. Note the location of the store of your identity (http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#storemain).

  2B. turn on "Show hidden folders and files" via start | Control Panel | Folder options | View (seehttp://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html).

  3. close OE.

  4. in Windows Explorer, navigate to your storage folder, find & removeOutbox.dbx, Sent Items.dbxand Deleted Items.dbxfile.

  To avoid such problems in the future, comply with the following restrictions:

  N ' not use Inbox or sent items to archive messages.  Move them to local folders created for this purpose.

  -Empty the deleted items folder daily.

  -Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE while records that "work offline".  More onhttp://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

  -Do not cancel automatic compacting, where it would happen and do not try to close OE via Manager tasks or stop your Automatic compaction machine can take place.

  -Disable e-mail scanning in your antivirus application.  It can cause corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and offers no additional protection:

• Impossible to remove an unknown account, get the error 'cannot delete the unknown account because this object inherits permissions from its parent.

  I have several programs that when I go to security there is an unknown account and when I try to delete unknown account I get this message that you cannot delete the Unknown(S-1...) account because this object inherits from its parent perssions. To delete the Unknown(S-1...) account, you must prevent this object from inheriting permissions. Turn off the option for the inheritance of permissions and then try to delete the Unknown(S-1...) account again. I tried the edit and advance features in respect of security without success. Why have I not control over security permissions?

  Found a solution to this problem.

  Go to the folder parent of the folder that contains the files with this unknown account number:
  1. right click on the PARENT folder, and then click Properties.
  2. on the Security tab, go to the advanced options (bottom window)
  3. in the new window, click the button change the permissions in the bottom.
  4. Select the Group (NOT AUTHENTICATED, just of users USERS) users
  5. check "replace all permissions of child object with permissions inheritable of this object.
  6. click on the OK button or apply and done, fixed number.

  Hope this helps anyone else having this problem, for me it happened after reinstallation of win 7 on the same machine and keep my images on another partition, so it was spared by the new facility, so the old user account was always on the file permissions.

• Cannot delete files - file name too Long

  I copied all the files under C:\Users\ to a backup disk (NTFS).  Then I tried to delete the Temporary Internet Files folder.  I'll tell an error message:

  The file names would be too long for the destination folder.  You can shorten the file name and try again, or try a location with a shorter path.

  When I drilled far problem files were I saw a bunch of files with very long names.  I right click on one (in the hope to rename it) and the only available options are: open, pine in the Start Menu, send to.  Delete, rename and properties were missing.

  How can I get rid of these files without having to reformat the hard drive?

• Windows 7 - cannot delete Windows.old

  Windows 7 has created a Windows.old folder using Windows Easy Transfer and a massive file that was supposed to pass, among other things, e-mail data and accounts.  Windows 7 has none of them.  But now it throws an error telling me that I must be the administrator to delete.

  I AM THE ADMINISTRATOR.

  I did the thing to click left and changed security on the file which saw the problem.  I am sure that administrator had full possession on the file.

  I do not understand why a deletion should take five minutes, but I delete Windows.old again.  This time, Windows 7 threw an error telling me that I had to be the SYSTEM to remove it.  Even if I did not I a user of the SYSTEM, I added permission for SYSTEM to own the file and delete it.  Still no change cannot delete the file.

  Cannot delete the file, cannot move the file outlook.pst Windows Easy Transfer failed that there is not enough room.  Cannot move that the outlook.pst file impossible to configure Outlook to get my emails.

  Why Windows 7 has so many flaws?  It's like a child designed, programmed and it was approved for distribution.

  I'm off to find a third-party tool to remove the file, unless someone has a practical suggestion.  No speculation please.  No Microsoft Apologetics please.   I have been the problems of Windows 7 for more than a week.

  Not sure, but have you tried it - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/How-do-I-remove-the-Windows-old-folder (I must admit, sort of a sorry official - guess)

  If all goes well, it can work.

  I tend to the agreement, but its strange how what should be quite a simple operation (s) seem to have 'questions' quite so often.

• Cannot delete the administrator account

  Hello:

  I am an administrator in Windows 7 and I cannot delete another account Administrator named 'test '. When I select the "test" account in the management of accounts, I get the list of choices:
  Change the name of the account
  Create a password
  Change the image
  Set up Parental controls
  Manage another account.
  When I click on my original administrator account, the list of options is:
  Change the name of the account
  Change the password
  Remove the password
  Change the image
  Set up Parental controls
  Change account type
  Remove account
  Manage another account
  The 'delete account' does not appear in the account of 'test '. So, how can I delete this account 'test '?
  Thanks for any help.
  Alex

  The "Test" account was probably the original ' administrator' account until you have renamed it. It cannot be deleted. You can find as follows:

  1. Click on the globe to start, and then type the three letters cmd into the search box and press ENTER.
  2. Type these commands and press ENTER after each:
     net users
     (to see a list of all accounts)
     NET user test
     (to see all the details for the test account)
  Anyway, as one admin account is a bad idea, even than having just a key to the House. What would you do if something was wrong with this single account? At all times, you should have two accounts admin fully tested and documented.
