Hi,
I am searching around and I can´t find any GUI LVM manager included in
a Centos live CD.
I am trying to resize a LVM partition in a Centos 6.9 machine with a
live CD.
If I need any other distro, It´s fine with me
Thanks!
Miguel
Hi,
I remember back in the days, there was a neat trick to recover a lost
root password, or more exactly, redefine a new password for root.
1. In the bootloader, boot the system with the 'init=/bin/bash' kernel
argument.
2. Remount the root partition in read-write mode:
# mount -o remount,rw /
3. Set the password for root:
# passwd
4. Remount the root partition in read-only mode:
# mount -o remount,ro /
5. Switch off the computer.
I tried this out of curiosity on a CentOS 7 sandbox machine, and this
doesn't seem to work anymore. I can boot to a 'bash' console and set the
password OK. But this password doesn't seem to work on the subsequent
normal boot.
Anybody knows why this is so?
Cheers,
Niki

On my old Centos 7 server I had set up a LDAP database for user authentication
by other services (the server locally uses normal PAM authenticatin).
I set it up originally from a web page describing how to set up an LDAP server
for use with MS Outlook clients (which never worked)
Is there any (easy to follow) instructions anywhere to tell me how to back up
this service and restore it onto a new one?
