Kickstart network settings problem
by Plant, Dean 22 Apr '08

22 Apr '08

I would like one of my kickstart scripts to prompt for disk and networking only. Commenting out the disk and network settings makes the installer prompt for disk settings but not for network settings, they default to DHCP. Any idea's how to fix this? Thanks Dean

dd backup of lv
by Joseph L. Casale 22 Apr '08

22 Apr '08

I have a series of unmounted lv's that are used in xen vm's of various flavors in a lab environment. I made a script that I use to backup all of them prior to doing anything I may need to undo and all I execute is: dd if=/dev/vgname/lvname of=/dir/name.img Are there any additional parameters I should use? I haven't tried to restore this into an lv, but I did swap the 'phy' specification for 'file' and started a vm using the backed up image and it was fine. Thanks! jlc

fdisk partition table plus sign
by Kai Schaetzl 22 Apr '08

22 Apr '08

What does the plus sign after the blocks value exactly mean in the fdisk output? Some research reveals that it indicates that not all the blocks are included in the fdisk value. But what does this exactly mean? Kai -- Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com

iptables details
by Fajar Priyanto 22 Apr '08

22 Apr '08

Hi all, I'm a bit confused reading the RHEL System-Administrator-Guide regarding this: (1) iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 10.1.2.253:80 (2) iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.1.2.253:80 The first is for port forwarding, the second is said to be used for DMZ. But I tried both and the result is the same. Is there any difference between the two? Thank you, -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 08:09:27 up 1:01, 2.6.22-14-generic GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org The real challenge of teaching is getting your students motivated to learn.
