[KVM] reporting VM state
by Joe Tseng 06 Jun '12

06 Jun '12

I recently set up a CentOS 6.2 hypervisor and created a Win2k8 virtual machine. In order to save space and time backing up the VM, I want to minimize the amt of unused disk space in the VM. Does KVM have the built-in ability to view the amt of free space left in a VM? Or is this feature I have to create myself to have the hypervisor and VM aware of each other? - Joe If you type "Google" into Google, you can break the Internet. -- Jen Barber

CentOS 5.8 Samba and Windows 7
by John Doe 06 Jun '12

06 Jun '12

Hi, any one has successfully joined a Windows 7 workstation to a samba (3.0.33) domain on CentOS 5.8? I am wondering if I need to install a newer version (from sernet by example) or if I can keep the old one and try harder... Thx, JD

Mysql cluster vs. mysql-libs
by Dennis Jacobfeuerborn 06 Jun '12

06 Jun '12

Hi, it seems even a minimal install of Centos 6.2 now requires mysql-libs as a dependency for postfix and cronie. When I try to install the mysql cluster rpms from mysql.com I get a collision between the files. Since this is the first time I get into contact with mysql cluster I wonder if somebody has an idea how to resolve this or knows alternative packages that don't conflict with mysql-libs? Regards, Dennis

75% - 80% Rebuild Complete
by Gene Poole 06 Jun '12

06 Jun '12

First I want to thank all of you who responded to me both on this list and in the CentOS wiki. Your responses helped greatly! I want to say that if you are running CentOS 5 and you do not have a overriding reason to go to CentOS 6, stay where you are. It was so much easier installing CentOS 6 on a new machine, migrating is next to impossible. Here's where I am today: 1. The base DVD install would not allow me to run the gnome desktop at 1920x1080 resolution with the default nVidia driver, the highest resolution I could obtain was 1024x768. However the text screen worked just fine after I introduced the video=1920x1080 in the grub.conf file. 2. When I installed the nVidia closed source drivers, the gnome desktop ran perfectly in the high resolution mode. The text mode then dropped to 1024x768 even though it retained the video=1920x1080 parameter (could it be those blacklist parameters introduced to disable the noveau drivers?). 3. During the installation I instituted software raid-1 along with LVM. It all worked perfectly until I got to the Boot Loader screen and instead of using the default (/dev/sda) I used what I thought would work in a raid-1 environment IF one of the hard drives went bad. I chose to install the boot loader in /dev/md0. Of course it would not boot. I recovered from this by going through the install and choosing to upgrade a existing installation and it allowed me to place the boot loader in /dev/sda. What that leaves me with is a raid-1 environment that works great as long as /dev/sda remains. How do I fix that??? 4. I still need to add all of those extra repositories (adobe; webmin; rpmfusion; etc). 5. I'm still trying to decide if I want a high resolution text screen (that I would use almost everyday) or a high resolution GUI screen (that I'll only use for certain application installs)??? At my 'real' job, we use RHEL and we've done some things using RHEL 6.2 for POC (Proof Of Concept) projects. With a POC, we install using a standard installation DVD (as opposed to using our RH Satellite Server). All of this to say that there are application installation options that really fit the needs of a server installation, you can choose 'Server' and 'Server GUI', which installs the gnome GUI without selecting a desktop environment.. Some things we run require a GUI to install (Oracle DB; IBM DB2 UDB; IBM WebSphere; etc.). How do I select this type of environment using CentOS 6.2? In other words, I'm running CentOS 6.2 x86_64 Desktop TIA, Gene Poole + It's impossible for everything to be true. +

cluster.conf validating, but cman not starting
by Dirk 05 Jun '12

05 Jun '12

Hi all, since the last yum update cman does not start any more with the following entries in /var/log/messages: > Jun 5 20:50:39 pclus1cent6-02 corosync[1852]: [MAIN ] Corosync > Cluster Engine ('1.4.1'): started and ready to provide service. > Jun 5 20:50:39 pclus1cent6-02 corosync[1852]: [MAIN ] Corosync > built-in features: nss dbus rdma snmp > Jun 5 20:50:39 pclus1cent6-02 corosync[1852]: [MAIN ] Successfully > read config from /etc/cluster/cluster.conf > Jun 5 20:50:39 pclus1cent6-02 corosync[1852]: [MAIN ] Successfully > parsed cman config > Jun 5 20:50:39 pclus1cent6-02 corosync[1852]: [MAIN ] parse error > in config: parse error in config: . > Jun 5 20:50:39 pclus1cent6-02 corosync[1852]: [MAIN ] Corosync > Cluster Engine exiting with status 8 at main.c:1680 But the cluster config is okay: > [root@pclus1cent6-02 ~]# ccs_config_validate > Configuration validates Before the last yum update the cluster config was okay, cman started. The config has not been changed. Has anyone run into this problem? Even disabling config validation in /etc/sysconfig/cman does not change this behaviour. I am lost, and my cluster does not start. Any hint or help is highly appreciated. Dirk

There was a small hitch in that the "Twinview" option wasn't available (it was present but grayed out) on the NVidia control panel, but entering nvidia-xconfig --twinview on the command line as root did the trick.

What to use on CentOS 6.2 w/ an Epson Stylus Photo 2200
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 05 Jun '12

05 Jun '12

Epson doesn't seem to have one; I see an rpm at openprinting.org, but that .rpm d/l I started around 11:30 my time, and the d/l slowed, and slowed, and it's been at 21% and "1 hr 17 min to go" for it seems like close to half an hour. I d/l a tar.bz2, but I'm not sure I want to build and install it - my use of this printer is temporary, and I want to be able to uninstall it all. I also can't seem to find what some of the Epson drivers in the std. CentOS CUPS packages handle. Anyone have any pointers? mark

How to rotate PHP error log - since it belongs to apache
by Alexander Farber 05 Jun '12

05 Jun '12

Hello, I'm using CentOS 6.2 with the stock rpm php-5.3.3-3.el6_2.8.x86_64 and the following /etc/php.ini file: error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED display_errors = Off error_log = /var/log/php/php_errors.log and that file is very useful for me because I have many custom PHP-scripts at my site, but that file keeps growing too... :-) So my question is for how to rotate it (esp. since it should be owned by "apache" user) - what do you guys use? Regards Alex
