Changing Root E-Mail address
by Jason T. Slack-Moehrle 27 Dec '10

27 Dec '10

Hi All, I installed a new CentOS 5.5 box and I am getting a daily e-mail (I am not sure how this was triggered) with XNTPD logs, HTTP Error and Disk Space). It is being sent to root(a)www.6colors.co which bounces, but I have a catch all so it does get to me. How do I change where this e-mail is sent? I have tried in /etc/postfix/main.cd, master.cf, bounce.cf.default, etc and I don't see where this is set. Can anyone help out? Best, -Jason

I uninstalled the version of Picasa for Linux I'd gotten from the google yum repository, installed wine and then I downloaded the M$ Windows version (3.8) of Google's Picasa and installed that with Wine. Working! :-) Strangely, in the Help > About it shows that it is Picasa version 3.8.x for Linux. :-) Thanks to the 3 of you who replied. Much appreciated! Lanny

$ true && true || echo hi $ true && false || echo hi hi $ false && true || echo hi hi $ false && false || echo hi hi $ ping -W 1 -c 4 google.com >& /dev/null | grep -q "100% packet loss" && ping -W 1 -c 4 www.yahoo.com >& /dev/null | grep -q "100% packet loss" || echo "no internet connection" no internet connection $ ping -W 1 -c 4 google.com >& /dev/null | grep "100% packet loss" $ ping -W 1 -c 4 www.yahoo.com >& /dev/null | grep "100% packet loss" $ ...both sides "false", because they have no output, because google.com and www.yahoo.com is reachable. how come it writes "no internet connection"? [at the longest line] i just want a "oneliner" that checks if theres "internet connection" or no. :\ where did i screw up? 8)

lvm 1 drive fails whole vol data lost
by Markandeya 26 Dec '10

26 Dec '10

Dear Friends of CentOS, I read a reply by John R Pierce, Re: [CentOS] LVM change disk December 04, 2010 01:30PM "do you realize that if any one of those 4 miscellaneous drives fails, you lose the whole volume?" Can anyone confirm this? and thank you to John above. 2: can you add(extend) a physical hdd with data to a LV without losing the data? 3: can you remove one hdd to add another of same size and file system but with different data? Thanks much. i am about to install and need to know my constraints.

preparing to migrating to new system
by Jerry Geis 26 Dec '10

26 Dec '10

hi all, I will be migrating my mail server from centos 4.8 to 6 when its released. Basically its just a number of users with their passwords. Their mail is downloaded to their clients and not stored on the server. What is the most sensible or correct way to migrate ALL the users to the new system? Way in the past is was just perhaps copy the /etc/passwd file but I know thats not the case anymore. how do I easily recreate their account names etc... on the new machine. Thanks, for any advice. Jerry

I/O size distribution?
by Antonello Piemonte 25 Dec '10

25 Dec '10

Hello I have read that under Solaris one can use DTrace to get I/O request size distribution on a global scale (also on a per process/pid basis). See for example http://prefetch.net/articles/observeiodtk.html Can anyone recommend an alternative to get similar information under CentOS? I looked into dtrace for linux but it seems still work in progress, even putting aside CDDL issues ... http://www.crisp.demon.co.uk/tools.html Thanks! Antonello
