Recovering LVM volumes
by Sanjay Arora 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

Hello all I have two sets of eIDE hard drives from earlier servers, one centos & one fedora. Both were LVM volumes with three or four physical disks, with ext3 fs. One disk, maybe even the boot one may even be missing, either from one or both sets and we do not know the disk order. I got these left from an earlier sysadmin who left the company & nobody know what's what. I need to recover data so I need to backup each of the disks to a disk image file first, then find block-size/recover lvm metadata on the volume, mount the volume to my current server and recover whatever files can be recovered manually. My question is: - what switches to be used with dd in creating the image, so that I retain the lvm disk data, for future recovery, if I mess up the recovery job? Can you please give the actual command assuming disk is connected at /dev/sdb? - How do I find the blocksize used by the disk & how do I get the meta-data and mount the disk to current lvm fs. Request please give me step by step process. I am finding the howtos & examples on the net very daunting as most of them have co-issues of raid etc. Mine is a plain lvm spanning multiple disks. I don't have expertise of this level & suddenly my boss is expecting me to perform a miracle. Please help. With best regards. Sanjay.

LSI MegaRAID 320-2E PCIe RAID Controller
by Hugh E Cruickshank 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

Hi All: Has anyone tried using an LSI MegaRAID 320-2E PCIe RAID Controller in an HP DL380G5 (of any HP G5 DL for that matter) running CentOS 5? It looks like it should work but it would be nice to know that someone has already done it before I start going to all the effort and expense of building the box. I have a spare DL380 and a couple of IBM EXP400 disk arrays that I would like to configure as a backup database server. Any and all comments will be appreciated.

I am new to CentOS. How do I set a rule to so that any email coming from @ linkedin.com (and other abused locations), going to an application RT (setup on the system), will get rejected or dropped silently.

Lost root access
by James Bensley 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

So on a virtual server the root password was no longer working (as in I couldn't ssh in anymore). Only I and one other know it and neither of us have changed it. No other account had the correct privileges to correct this so I'm wondering, if I had mounted that vdi as a secondary device on another VM, browsed the file system and delete /etc/shadow would this have wiped all users passwords meaning I could regain access again? (This is past tense because its sorted now but I'm curious if this would have worked? And if not, what could I have done?). -- Regards, James. http://www.jamesbensley.co.cc/ There are 10 kinds of people in the world; Those who understand Vigesimal, and J others...?

CentOS 4.8
by Y. K. Liu 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

Hi, I installed CentOS 4.8 (not CentOS 5) on VMware Fusion using an ISO file I downloaded. During the installation, it asked me to enter a user name and its password. I tried to enter root for the user name, but it would not let me do that. So I had to enter a non-root user name. So I did not have the root user name and password when the installation completed. I only had a non-privileged user name, and could not do any sudo work. How can I solve this problem? I noticed that CentOS 5 (not the 4.8 I needed to install) asking to enter the password for root during the installation. But I need to install CentOS 4.8, not 5. Thank you. Jerry

centos 5.5 check memoray usage too high???
by mcclnx mcc 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

We have DELL R900 server with 128GB RAM (CENTOS 5.5)in it. This server only have one application running and few people use it. Every week I ata least get one or two messages from monitor tool mail to me say: Message=Memory Utilization is 92.02%, crossed warning (80) or critical (90) threshold. Since server have 128 GB RAM and only 1 application. I really don't belive that. Does there has some way can check memory utilitation ? Thanks.
