Using LVM to implement RAID
by Fred Smith 29 Mar '15

29 Mar '15

Hi all! I've recently noticed that recent versions of LVM include RAID capabilities, so that one could presumably implement (e.g.) RAID-1 without having to use Linux Software RAID. Given the complexity of LBM, I'm wondering how practical and how safe this is (compared to Linux Software RAID), and also if anyone here knows more about it than I do (which isn't much), and especially if anyone here has actually used it?? I'd appreciate any feedback from y'all! :) Thanks, Fred. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." ------------------------------ Matthew 7:21 (niv) -----------------------------

Netflix
by Bob Hepple 28 Mar '15

28 Mar '15

Now that netflix is in Australia, I wouldn't mind giving it a burl. It's working fine on my fedora-21 lappy with chrome-40 but not on our centos-6 mythtv setup even with chrome-41. I understand the difference might be the version of NSS - fedora-21 has 3.17 while centos is stuck at 3.16. Other than that, I'm flumoxed. Anyone got netflix running on centos-6? Cheers Bob

Update on CentOS7.1
by Zatorski, Richard 28 Mar '15

28 Mar '15

Several questions about the upcoming release: 1. Will this be happening WW14? If not, is there an ETA? 2. We have our next minor release that’s dependent on CentOS7.1. Are there currently any ISOs available so we can do a risk build? We have an extensive automation farm and doing manual upgrades is not an option. Thanks, (RAZ)

Upgrade centos 6 to 7
by Timothy Murphy 28 Mar '15

28 Mar '15

I read at <http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/CentOSUpgradeTool> "Warning: use of this tool is currently not recommended as several system-critical packages are of a higher version number in CentOS 6.6 than they are in CentOS 7 so those do not get upgraded correctly. This renders yum and several other system tools non-functional." Is that still the position? If so, is it likely to change in the near future? -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

Inheriting Xauthority
by Robert Nichols 28 Mar '15

28 Mar '15

On some of my machines, when I run "su -" in a terminal to get a root shell, an XAUTHORITY file is automatically generated to give display access to GUI programs spawned by that shell, i.e., # set | grep XAUTH XAUTHORITY=/root/.xauthayZmdH That file contains a copy of the MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE from my original X session. On other machines with the same installed OS (CentOS 6.6) that does not happen. What the heck is the difference? I have done nothing with my own xauth or xhost to permit or deny this on any of the machines. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address. Do NOT delete it.

xfs_quotas, [SOLVED]
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 27 Mar '15

27 Mar '15

Y'all know I've been fighting this, on and off, for months. The last few days, I've done a *lot* of googling, and finally got a clue in a reply in a thread I found, where someone noted that you CANNOT enable things like pquotas on an XFS filesystem with mount -o remount, you *MUST* umount it, then mount it. In spite of mount showing the quota for the filesystem, it never worked. I turned down NFS, umounted the filesystem, mounted it - I'd had the pquota as one of the options in fstab for weeks - and *poof*, I could add hard and soft pquotas with no errors. Nasty gotcha. Side note: yesterday, I was getting so frustrated that I ran strace xfs_quota..., and found this interesting tidbit: it was looking for some message files, libc.mo and xfsprogs.mo. And they don't exist in /usr/share/locale/en_US. libc.mo is in /usr/share/local/en_GB. And it's in most of the other languages, but not US English. Then, the xfsprogs.mo *only* exist in Polish and German support, and nowhere else. Gotta file a bug report, there. Hope this helps others trying to implement quotas. mark

Not getting updates?
by Mark Haney 27 Mar '15

27 Mar '15

I installed CentOS 7 late last year to use as my Nagios/Cacti Monitoring server. Clean install, nothing real complicated just the server version with no GUI, just command line/SSH. I have noticed over the last 3 months that I've not had ANY updates when I run 'yum update'. I have run 'yum clean all' to see if that might be a problem, and I've made sure the updates repo is enabled (it is), but I'm getting no CentOS updates. Did something change that I'm not aware of? I'm even clueless how to being debugging this. I'm no noob to RPM based systems as I run Fedora pretty much everywhere else. Ideas? -- Mark Haney Sr. Systems Engineer, VIF International Education mark.haney(a)vifprogram.com 919-265-5006

kmod-fglrx not available on CentOS 7?
by Niki Kovacs 27 Mar '15

27 Mar '15

Hi, The subject says it all. I'm currently busy installing a CentOS 7 based desktop on a client's machine, an HP Compaq with an ATI video card. # lspci | grep -i vga 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RS780C [Radeon 3100] I wanted to give the proprietary video driver a spin, so I configured ELRepo, but curiously enough, there seems to be no kmod-fglrx driver available. Why is that so?
