My response was poorly worded. > > The first line was a referenced to the question "I don't know what > hugetlbfs is, nor openvswitch" I originally misread your post as meaning to suggest I'd done a dnf install openvswitch dnf install libhugetlbf As in I'd installed them myself, and caused the issue. Hence my subsequent reply about it being a default install, with just a few extras (which didn't include those packages). But, yes, before posting that I didn't know what they were, I had read the package info, and it didn't particularly leave me any wiser. $ dnf info openvswitch Description: Open vSwitch provides standard network bridging functions and support for the OpenFlow protocol for remote per-flow control of traffic. Doesn't really tell me if that's some feature of networking that I might be making use of without knowing about it. $ dnf info libhugetlbfs (with the missing "s" on the end of it) Description : libhugetlbfs is a library which provides easy access to huge pages of memory. It is a wrapper for the hugetlbfs file system. Applications can use huge pages to fulfill malloc() requests without being recompiled by using LD_PRELOAD. Alternatively, applications can be linked against libhugetlbfs without source modifications to load BSS or BSS, data, and text segments into large pages. Likewise, I can't tell, from that, whether it's a feature that my OS is making use of at the moment, or might be at some time. > The second was to confirm that those packages were the ones that > consumed the GID which was wanted. Between your posts, and poking around with dnf and rpm queries, I seemed to cleared up the problem with setting the computer on fire. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
