Creating my own YUM repository
by Robert Moskowitz 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

I have already 6 Centos machines here and it is getting strange having to pull down updates to each system. Seems like I should set up one system to pull updates and then all other systems to point to it. How? Plus then I would want to add to this repository. Say that a number of my systems use tomcat which is only available via rpm. I would like to be able to add it to my repository, and if even manually, to keep it current. This way, when I build a new system, after the build I would do a yum update (from my server), then a yum install of all of the extras that particular system needs.

kernel panic after DDing disk to another one + question on LVM
by Kai Schaetzl 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

This is a machine in a remote datacenter, so I have no console access to it. The machine suddenly went offline, was reset remotely and showed several unrecoverable DMA errors when it came up. After a second normal reboot (to see if the problem was consistent) it lost several services and didn't come up after the third reboot. After contacting the datacenter the disk got replaced and the old image was DDed to the new disk. The new disk runs into a kernel panic now. I would expect this since the DD copies over the existing problems as well. I do not have any experience with LVM (which CentOS 4.2 uses by default, this is only my second test machine for CentOS and my only remote one), so I would like to ask if (besides the assumed reason) LVM could also cause this problem after cloning the disk to another one. I don't think so but I want to be sure. I have access to a (debian minimal) rescue system which doesn't have LVM, so I don't have access to most of the disk (other than /boot), so there's not much room for investigation. I plan to use the pxeboot kernel now to get it up and reinstall CentOS. My question is will I be able to do this or will the pxeboot kernel need to have access to that volume before I repartition? Also, can I disable using LVM (I think I don't need it and it may create more problems than it helps in my case) before setup starts or do I have to do this during setup (I assume I can do this during the manual partition phase?)? Thanks, Kai -- Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany

Use YAM from dag. Then set up a custom repository directory as well, that's exactly what we do :) http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/yam/ -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of Robert Moskowitz Sent: Monday, January 30, 2006 10:13 AM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: [CentOS] Creating my own YUM repository I have already 6 Centos machines here and it is getting strange having to pull down updates to each system.

resuming FreeNX sessions
by Craig White 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

I've been running a FreeNX session for several days. During that time, I have occasionally lost the connect and when I re-establish the connection, it resumes where I left off and it was really nice. Tonight I lost the connection and when I reconnected, it started a new session but when I run NX Session Administrator application on the FreeNX server, it still shows the session as 'running'. I really want to re-connect to my other session as that has the editors and everything else running and I could terminate it and start over but I am wondering if there are any tricks that might be had to reconnect to an existing session (I can see the pid for both the current session and the session that I would like to connect for example...) Thanks Craig

Upgrading samba past the regular packages
by Matt Morgan 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

Despite Craig's excellent help with my Excel/Samba, I continue to have trouble with Samba 3.0.10 under CentOS 4.2. Quickbooks, now, too, is just acting really weird. I'm tempted to upgrade beyond the regular packages, although I really don't like to do that, because the samba list and a lot of info online lead me to believe that 3.0.11+ fixes these issues. What's the best way to use something newer than the regualr packages? Does someone out there have a CentOS repo with a newer samba? Should I just use the Fedora packages? Thanks, Matt
