CentOS 6 Partitioning Help
by Jonathan Vomacka 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

Good Evening All, I have a question regarding CentOS 6 server partitioning. Now I know there are a lot of different ways to partition the system and different opinions depending on the use of the server. I currently have a quad core intel system running 8GB of RAM with 1 TB hard drive (single). In the past as a FreeBSD user, I have always made a physical volume of the root filesystem (/), SWAP, /tmp, /usr, /var, and /home. In the partitioning manager I would always specify 10GB for root, 2GB or so for SWAP, 20GB var, 50GB usr, 10GB /tmp, and allocate all remaining space to my home directory as my primary data volume (assuming all my applications are installed and ran from my home directories). I was recently told that this is an old style of partitioning and is not used in modern day Linux distributions. So more accurately, here are my questions to the list: 1) What is a good partition map/schema for a server OS where it's primary purpose is for a LAMP server, DNS (bind), and possibly gameservers 2) CentOS docs recommend using 10GB SWAP for 8GB of RAM. 1X the amount of physical memory + 2GB added. (Reference: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Installation_Guide-en-US/s1-diskpartition…) I was told this is ridiculous and will severely slow down the system. Is this true? If so, what is a good swap space to use for 8GB of RAM? The university of MIT recommends making MULTIPLE 2GB swap spaces equaling 10GB if this is the case. Please help! 3) Is EXT4 better or worse to use then XFS for what I am planning to use the system for? Thanks in advance for all your help guys Kind Regards, Jonathan Vomacka

Might I suggest that any rpm for LIS 3.1 NOT start the KVP daemon by default? Apparently there's an issue with this that causes SCVMM to crash: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2586286 -- Dan

If you have your own RPMS why not just create your own repo (createrepo) and include that repo as part of your kickstart? Sent from my mobile ----- Original Message ----- From:"Peter J.

Hi Everyone, I would like to enquire about having the RPMs for the Linux Integration Services (LIS) for running linux as a guest on HyperV added to the Centos Plus Repository as well as a means for installing Centos enlightned/partially-paravirtualized upon HyperV. If possible could someone contact me, about what is needed to achieve this, and what I can do to help make it happen.

Missing rsync RPMs ?
by Markus Falb 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Hi, I had a look at ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/os/SRPMS/ and found following RPMs for rsync ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/os/SRPMS/rsync-2.6.… ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/os/SRPMS/rsync-3.0.… ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/os/SRPMS/rsync-3.0.… http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5.6/os/SRPMS/ has http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5.6/os/SRPMS/rsync-2.6.8-3.1.src.rpm http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5.6/updates/SRPMS/ has no rpms for rsync Am I severely misguided in assuming that rsync-3.0.6-4.el5 and rsync-3.0.6-4.el5_7.1 should exist in CentOS 5 ? I also found https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0999.html https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2011-1112.html -- Kind Regards, Markus Falb

Boot.Kernel.Org and CentOS
by Karanbir Singh 04 Aug '11

04 Aug '11

hi guys, About a year or so back, there was some effort put into getting a CentOS-5 image setup to work off boot.kernel.org and be able to get that install process working. That effort was abandoned since it needed quite a lot of work to be done, and was startig to become massively intrusive. The people involved with that effort, including me, are quite busy with a lot of stuff on the agenda at the moment and I was wondering if anyone would like to pickup CentOS-6 images and see whats needed to make things work off b.k.o Regards, - KB -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
