creating a floppy image from a linux file
by Dan Hyatt 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

Hi, I am still trying to get kick-start centos in my vmware5 because pxe cannot find the pxe server. I do not control the dhcp or pxe server. I have both my kickstart file and my iso image for centos6.5 on my vmware datastore, but am trying to run my kickstart file from VMware guest. Can I tell the command line to run from the datastore in VMWare? Or must I convert my kickstart file to a floppy image to run from VMware console? I have the centos image on the DVD mounted from my datastore. Now I need to convert the kickstart file to a floppy image to mount on the server from my datastore This is what google and VMWare keeps telling me but it does not make sense unless I am copying off a floppy.... What I am trying to do is turn the kickstart file into a floppy image so I can kickstart off the floppy in vmware. Create a disk image from the physical drive: cat /dev/fd0 > imagefile.img Copy image to the physical drive: cat imagefile.img > /dev/fd0 Help figuring out that silly little piece that is keeping me from building a VM guest from my kickstart file is much appreciated.

Samba 4.1.6
by Bowie Bailey 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

I just installed a CentOS 7 server and ran into a problem with Samba and the "force user" option. Apparently, there was a fix for some "force user" issues in the 4.1.6 release. Is there any likelihood of an update from upstream? If not, is there another repo that provides a more up-to-date version of Samba? -- Bowie

ME: much head scratching.] We have a Value Added Network (VAN) provider who insists on a similar thing. We were given sftp access to our transaction files but not ssh. They also will not run an rsync daemon for us. We ended up locally mounting the remote host directories with fuse-ssh (sshfs) over sftp using RSA keys to bypass the interactive logins. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

rsync question: building list taking forever
by Tim Dunphy 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

Guys, I've setup an rsync between two directories that I've mounted locally on a jump box. Long story short, the two directories are both NFS shares from two different hosts. Our security dept won't allow us to SSH between the two data centers, directly. But the jump host can contact both. So what I've done is mount the NFS shares from one host in each data center on the jump box using sshfs. The directory I'm trying to rsync from has 111GB of data in it. I don't think I've ever setup an rsync for quite so much data before. But I started the rsync at approx. 7pm last night. And as of now the rsync is still building it's file list. [root@sshproxygw ~]# rsync -avzp /mnt/db_space/timd/www1/ /mnt/db_space/timd/www2/svn2/ building file list ... So my question to you is, is this a normal amount of time to wait for the file list to be built? Considering the amount of data involved. I have it running in a screen session I can attach to to find out what's going on. Thanks Tim -- GPG me!! gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys F186197B

Amazon Marketplace AMI
by Thorsten Höger 20 Oct '14

20 Oct '14

Hi, the updated Amazon Web Service AMI (ami-4ac6653d) has a serious bug. It is not possible to resize a disk after creating a new volume with a size greater than 8GB. resize2fs does nothing. The previous AMI worked perfectly but is no longer available. This bug is a show stopper for using CentOS on AWS. Regards, Thorsten PS: It would also be great to have a CentOS 6 AMI with HVM virtualisation.

how to identify build options
by kqt4at5v＠gmail.com 20 Oct '14

20 Oct '14

If using the standard CentOS packages is there a way to print the options that were specified when the package was built? For example # rpm -qi at Name : at Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 3.1.10 Vendor: CentOS Release : 44.el6_5.2 Build Date: Tue 07 Oct 2014 03:35:22 AM CDT Install Date: Fri 17 Oct 2014 02:38:44 PM CDT Build Host: c6b9.bsys.dev.centos.org Group : System Environment/Daemons Source RPM: at-3.1.10-44.el6_5.2.src.rpm Size : 86228 License: GPLv2+ Signature : RSA/SHA1, Tue 07 Oct 2014 07:57:22 AM CDT, Key ID 0946fca2c105b9de Packager : CentOS BuildSystem <http://bugs.centos.org> URL : http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/at Summary : Job spooling tools Description : At and batch read commands from standard input or from a specified file. At allows you to specify that a command will be run at a particular time. Batch will execute commands when the system load levels drop to a particular level. Both commands use user's shell. You should install the at package if you need a utility for time-oriented job control. Note: If it is a recurring job that will need to be repeated at the same time every day/week, etc. you should use crontab instead. What options were used to build this package? Richard
