This is among the things we need to do when a user leaves, and it's a larger question than it sounds. Our Office has many servers, with a good number of fileservers for projects, with large filesystems (i.e. 10's of TB). Can anyone think of a way *other* than running what's probably a many-hour long find / -user on all our systems, which is really intensive, to find all the files own by a given user? Locate would be great, but from the man pages and what I can find online, it only stores filenames and paths. mark

Below some background on this. [I have attached the tech details at the bottom of this message] I started a new CentOS7 installation on a VM, so far all good, o/s boots fine. Then I decided to increase VM disk size (initially was 10G) to 13G. Powered off the VM, increased the vhd via the hypervisor, booted from CentOS livecd, selected "recover my centos installation". Then I used the following sequence of commands to make the new vhd size "visible" to the o/s ... - ran fdisk /dev/sda and deleted partition 2. (This is the LVM partition where the o/s is stored. The first partition is /boot [xfs] partition *non lvm*.) - created a new partition with same starting sector as before deleting it, but a different ending sector (to reflect to the increased space). - set partition type to 8e (lvm), saved settings and exit. - ran pvresize and lvresize to make new space visible to the o/s.All good, I can see the space increase on 'lvdisplay centos/root'. - ran 'mount /dev/mapper/centos-root /mnt/root' to temporarily mount the o/s partition. - ran 'xfs_growfs /mnt/root' to resize the o/s fs to the new size. It was successful and I could actually chroot to the o/s and verify new disk size. - rebooted and tried to boot from hdd this time. Grub menu shows up and loads default kernel (3.10.0-862.9.1.el7.x86_64). - after initial kernel boot up process, booting continues to initrd and then it's where the problem starts... - looks like dracut has issues locating/enabling /dev/mapper/centos-root (lv) and as a result it cannot boot to the 'real' root fs (/). - while in dracut shell, I execute the following command sequence: 1. lvm lvchange -ay /dev/centos/root 2. lvm lvchange -ay /dev/centos/swap 3. ln -s /dev/mapper/centos-root /dev/root 4. exit ...and the o/s boots fine...so looks like the pv,vg,lv is detected properly while in initrd, but somehow dracut has difficulties enabling the root,swap LVs ? - While in o/s, I rebuild initrd by using: 'dracut -f -v -a lvm' Note, I have to use '-a lvm' as for some reason, if don't, the lvm utils (lvm,lvm_scan) are not being included to the initrd, not sure why this happens. After rebooting, same thing happens, I have to manually boot the system via dracut shell. I'm a bit stuck at this point, any clues what I'm doing wrong in here ? As I previously said, this is a new installation, so I could simply reinstall the whole thing, but I would rather try to find out some answer to why is this happening ... :-) [curiosity] Some additional details: ================== I've attached /run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt file [generated while in inird] here: https://privatebin.net/?fdc4052c0c402884#gdB/QYR3IeR55SxUbjfrkZPQfJ7jMxiUxq… o/s ver=CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core) [root@localhost ~]# lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 13G 0 disk ??sda1 8:1 0 500M 0 part /boot ??sda2 8:2 0 12.5G 0 part ??centos-root 253:0 0 11.5G 0 lvm / ??centos-swap 253:1 0 1G 0 lvm [SWAP] [root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/default/grub GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)" GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.lvm.lv=centos/root rd.lvm.lv=centos/swap rd.shell rhgb" GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true" ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2018 17:53:56 +0200 From: "Simon Matter" <simon.matter(a)invoca.ch> To: "CentOS mailing list" <centos(a)centos.org> Subject: Re: [CentOS] Issues booting centos7 [dracut is failing to enable centos/root, centos/swap LVs] Message-ID: <09679ddf131cfabaaa9a38ee3a874541.squirrel(a)webmail.bi.invoca.ch> Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8 Hi, > Hello, > > I'm having a strange problem booting a new centos7 installation.

At this point I usually reboot and do the following steps while the system is running. I don't say how you do it is wrong, it's just easier/faster to do things while the system is online if downtime matters. I don't really know what causes your issues. The reason may be that I have more and more problems understanding the whole boot process and all the variants we used to have over more than two decades... But, what happens if you let the kernel post install scripts do the work or setting up the initrd things? If you reinstall the latest kernel, does it change anything?

Initially, I just rebooted from LiveCD and left Grub,kernel and dracut do their job with the defaults, but unfortunately, boot process stops at initrd (dracut) stage with the following error: [ 197.768159] localhost.localdomain dracut-initqueue[252]: Warning: Could > not boot. > [ 197.821409] localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Received SIGRTMIN+20 > from PID 254 (plymouthd). > [ 197.822328] localhost.localdomain dracut-initqueue[252]: Warning: > /dev/centos/root does not exist > [ 197.823044] localhost.localdomain dracut-initqueue[252]: Warning: > /dev/centos/swap does not exist > [ 197.846807] localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Starting Dracut > Emergency Shell... > [ 197.870983] localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Received SIGRTMIN+21 > from PID 254 (plymouthd). Then, I'm dropped to dracut shell, where I boot the system by using the lvm commands as described to my first post.

Clearly, this is not a kernel issue, perhaps not even a dracut (initrd) issue, since everything was working fine, before resizing the PV/LV. I suspect that something went wrong during that step, but what? As I can successfully boot the system manually via dracut, normally everything should be ok? no? What can prevent dracut from activating the 2 LVs (centos/root and centos/swap) during initial boot phase ?

ecryptfs (from centosplus) and libvirt lxc quest on it - quest upon start shoots host in the head
by lejeczek 31 Jul '18

31 Jul '18

hi guys I have a lxc guest on Dell's R815(AMD Opterons) which I just moved to an ecryptfs mounted folder(using centosplus' kernel) Copying data to that folder seems to work just fine, but I as soon as I start the quest the host gets shot in the head, hard reboot, no dump. I also have another, virtually identical guest but on Intel platform and that one does not do anything but runs okey. Any of you guys has experience such gross abnormality? many thanks, L.

Xfce vs. VirtualBox : font size problem
by Nicolas Kovacs 31 Jul '18

31 Jul '18

Hi, I'm running CentOS 7 with Xfce on my main workstation. I just installed VirtualBox, and the application is running nicely. The only problem is that VirtualBox fonts are too tiny. How can I make the application behave and use the system-wide font settings ?

Increase Disk Space with LVM

Dear CentOS-Community, we have a server with four hard drives that are configured as raid10 (/dev/sda). Now, /home and /root are almost full.

Server disposal
by Kenneth Porter 28 Jul '18

28 Jul '18

Can anyone recommend a mailing list or other resource for finding a home for old server hardware? I've got a growing bone pile of retired Dell and Supermicro rack servers. I've stripped the drives and memory but hate to see the other old parts go to waste, like old RAID controllers and other proprietary parts.

Which is better? Microsoft Exchange 2016 or Linux-based SMTP Servers?
by Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming 28 Jul '18

28 Jul '18

Good evening from Singapore, I am torn between deploying Microsoft Exchange 2016 and Linux-based SMTP servers like sendmail, postfix, qmail and exim. Relative ease of installation and configuration is an important consideration factor. Microsoft Exchange 2016, Domain Controller, and Active Directory are relatively easy to install and configure. Linux-based SMTP servers are extremely difficult to install and configure and of course, extremely time-consuming. One of the features of Microsoft Exchange 2016 is that you can create additional folders on your Inbox in the server (server-side). Can Linux-based SMTP servers do that? Does Exchange 2016 offer more user-friendly features or Linux-based SMTP servers? Besides the above considerations, how about security? Traditionally, Linux is far more secure than Windows. Judging by security, Linux-based SMTP servers ought to have a higher percentage of the market share? Finally, I can only use Windows Server 2016 Standard Evaluation Copy FREE for a period of 3 years MAXIMUM. But I can use Linux servers and Mail Transport Agents (MTA) FREE perpetually. Please advise. Thank you very much. ===BEGIN SIGNATURE=== Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming's Academic Qualifications as at 30 Oct 2017 [1] https://tdtemcerts.wordpress.com/ <https://tdtemcerts.wordpress.com/> [2] http://tdtemcerts.blogspot.sg/ <http://tdtemcerts.blogspot.sg/> [3] https://www.scribd.com/user/270125049/Teo-En-Ming <https://www.scribd.com/user/270125049/Teo-En-Ming> ===END SIGNATURE===

Finding memory usage
by Bowie Bailey 27 Jul '18

27 Jul '18

I have a CentOS 7 server that is running out of memory and I can't figure out why. Running "free -h" gives me this: total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 3.4G 2.4G 123M 5.9M 928M 626M Swap: 1.9G 294M 1.6G The problem is that I can't find 2.4G of usage. If I look at resident memory usage using "top", the top 5 processes are using a total of 390M. The next highest process is using 8M. For simplicity, if I assume the other 168 processes are all using 8M (which is WAY too high), that still only gives a total of 1.7G. The tmpfs filesystems are only using 18M, so that shouldn't be an issue. Yesterday, the available memory was down around 300M when I checked it. After checking some things and stopping all of the major processes, available memory was still low. I gave up and rebooted the machine, which brought available memory back up to 2.8G with everything running. How can I track what is using the memory when the usage doesn't show up in top? -- Bowie

C7, just updated firefox, bugs
by mark 27 Jul '18

27 Jul '18

I just updated the "critical" firefox update, and it is *seriously* buggy. 1. I killed my old session, and started a new. Many (all?) tabs show *nothing* until I put my cursor in the URL bar and hit <enter> 2. I cannot open a link in an email in thunderbird. I click the link, and after a bit (30 sec? more?) a small windows tells me that firefox is running, but not responding, which it certainly responds when I focus on firefox. mark

Problem with definition of slist in CFEngine

Hey folks, I have a problem with the definition of a variable of type slist in CFEngine on # uname -a ; cat /etc/redhat-release Linux policyhub.example.com 3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 22 21:09:27 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core) I'm not sure if its valid to ask CFEngine questions on this mailing list, but as far as I'm running on CentOS I hope that it is okay.

In some cases it becomes some kind of "undefined" or at least I'm not able to print it out in a report (in "r1:"). In the configuration file above I marked some lines with "BEGIN/END big shit". Between the BEGIN/END I commented out two lines. If I "run" with that configuration file I see the reports "r1:" and "r4:" but not "r2:" and "r3:". It's not clear to me why I don't see reports "r2:" and "r3:", but I'm interested in the value of $(info.info_list)" in "r1:", I only have "r2:" and "r3:" here to maybe help to localize the problem which is described later.

I would like to understand what circumstances lead to the slist be undefined and how I can prevent this. Thanks in advance. Regards, Meikel

Is decoupling Apache + PHP into separate nodes possible?
by Arun Khan 27 Jul '18

27 Jul '18

<preamble> I have deployed Linux/Apache/PHP (node1) + MySQL (node2) with Security Groups (AWS) or iptables controlling who can connect to the MySQL server. In topology terms -- a 2 Tier architecture. In AWS - one can deploy several such instances behind a ELB. Each LAP instance talks to a MySQL RDS. The LAP instances are either mod_php or PHP-FPM. OS -- CentOS, Ubuntu. Debian </preamble> For one of my client's end user customer, their InfoSec team is asking if Apache and the PHP application can run in separate nodes (3 Tier arch). To the best of my knowledge Apache + PHP (mod_php) have to be in the same node. With PHP-FPM it is conceivable to have Apache talk to PHP-FPM running on a separate node (see diagram https://goo.gl/xTfbjg) But I have not done it myself and I am not sure if it is feasible. If it is feasible then what's the best practice to distribute the *.html *.css and *.php files between the Apache + the PHP-FPM nodes and how to achieve load balance between Apache and PHP-FPM nodes. I have searched but not found any reference setups. Would appreciate suggestions / references from anyone who has done a 3 Tier Apache + PHP + MySQL deployment in production. Thanks in advance. -- Arun Khan "Everyone has an expiration date"

Do this, logged onto the mailserver. telnet localhost 25 helo mydomain.com (substitute a valid domain here) mail from: <someuser(a)validdomain.com> rcpt to: <youremailaddress(a)yourdomain.com> data From: someuser(a)validdomain.com to: youremailaddress(a)yourdomain.com subject: test This is a test mesage . note: blank line between mail headers and body end data with line containing only '.'.

SCLO: Clang 5 package
by Tim R 25 Jul '18

25 Jul '18

Hi, a new version of llvm toolset was released on RHEL including clang 5 several months ago: https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2018/05/03/announcing-ga-for-latest-soft… devtoolset 7.1 (gcc 7.3) was announced around the same time and has been in CentOS sclo repo for some time now, but still no sign of clang 5. Is this on anyone's to do list? llvm toolset contains a really convenient version of clang / clang-format, which I believe many developers are using daily for various tools. Clang 5 is required for C++17 support, so a prompt update would be highly appreciated. Sorry if this is not the correct mailing list. Best regards Tim

Mail has quit working
by TE Dukes 24 Jul '18

24 Jul '18

Hello, Mail has come to an abrupt stop. Running C7, postfix and dovecot. Using Roundcube as the client. Mail stopped working Saturday and I cannot figure was has happened. I have not touched this server except to upgrade packages. I believe Roundcube was updated maybe a week ago but know I was getting mail since then. Crond is no longer send mail. I checked /var/spool/mail as well as /Maildir in home directories. Zero byte files. Checked all logs and the only thing I could find was in /var/log/maillog : warning hostname localhost does not resolve to address 127.0.0.1 I corrected that by changing inet_interfaces to localhost from all in postfix.cf When I try to log in with Roundcube, it just times out. I'm stuck! TIA for any suggestions!!

FF60 does not allow download to ssh/davs
by johan.vermeulen7＠telenet.be 23 Jul '18

23 Jul '18

Hello All, this concerns fully updated Centos7 / Mate machines; I have people connect to ssh en davs locations. In /home/user/.gtk-bookmarks I put entries like ssh://192.168.1.8/data data-remote People can then click on the bookmark in the file manager and connect to it. Since FF60 people can no longer save files for instance from their mailbox to these "mounted" locations. Before, when choosing "save as", the mounted ssh location would appear in the download window. I guess this is not a bug but something one can disable/enable in about:config. Many thanks for any advise on this. greetings, J.

bad text under KDE and C7
by Michael Hennebry 23 Jul '18

23 Jul '18

I recently installed C7 from a C7+gnome CD. Gnome was awful enough that I promptly installed KDE. KDE is not doing so well either. Text in text editors invoked by "opening" a file is flakey at best. E.g. pieces disappear and duplicate. Terminals seem ok, including vim invoked from the terminal. Firefox text seems ok. The sidebar text in file-browser windows often has "black tape" over it, usually completely covering text. The file names are ok. Suggestions on how to dignose this? -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a heiroglyph, and the blood of a virgin." -- someeecards

CentOS 7 + MATE : Folder contents not refreshed in file manager
by Nicolas Kovacs 21 Jul '18

21 Jul '18

Hi, I just migrated my workstation running CentOS 7 from KDE to MATE. It looks like I'm having the same problem with the Caja file manager than with Dolphin. Folder contents don't get refreshed automatically, and I have to hit F5. For example, when I download a file (say, a compressed archive) from the Internet, I have to hit F5 to see the file in Caja. And when I extract the archive, I have to hit F5 again. Anybody knows where this nagging problem comes from?

Centos 7 - Canon Powershot A410
by Frank Cox 21 Jul '18

21 Jul '18

I have an old Canon Powershot A410 camera that used to just work with Centos 6. All I had to do was install Shotwell and forever after I could just plug that camera in and Shotwell would automatically load and all was well. I'm now trying to get that camera to work on Centos 7, but am having no success.

Is there any way I can deploy cPanel web hosting control panel with Microsoft Exchange 2016 groupware behind one static public IP?
by Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming 20 Jul '18

20 Jul '18

Good evening from Singapore, Is there any way I can deploy cPanel web hosting control panel with Microsoft Exchange 2016 groupware behind one static public IP? Or do I need 2 static public IP addresses at the minimum? With Exchange 2016 groupware taking up HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, POP3, POP3S, SMTP, and SMTP/S ports, I personally don't think I can deploy cPanel behind the same public IP as Exchange. Please advise. Perhaps you have a brilliant idea. This is for experimental, testing and laboratory purposes. Thank you very much. ===BEGIN SIGNATURE=== Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming's Academic Qualifications as at 30 Oct 2017 [1] https://tdtemcerts.wordpress.com/ <https://tdtemcerts.wordpress.com/>[2] http://tdtemcerts.blogspot.sg/ <http://tdtemcerts.blogspot.sg/>[3] https://www.scribd.com/user/270125049/Teo-En-Ming <https://www.scribd.com/user/270125049/Teo-En-Ming>===END SIGNATURE===

Logwatch inconsistency
by Adrian van Bloois 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

Hi all, In my logwatch config I clearly state only too report on Yesterday. The funny thing is that in the MailScanner section the number of mails scanned is different thant th number reported in the postfix section to be put on hold. Ik I grep the Requeue statements in the MailScanner logfile this is exactly the same number as the scan result of Hold in the postfix logfile and is equal to the number reported by logwatch in the MailScanner section. How come postfix reports a lot more being put on hold than the real number? There is at least some inconsistency in there.

Panic with EL7 KVM guest on EL6 host on AMD server with latest kernel
by Simon Matter 18 Jul '18

18 Jul '18

Hi, I have AMD servers running CentOS 6.10 as KVM host and on it guests running CentOS 7.5. Since the latest kernel update on CentOS 6.10, kernel-2.6.32-754.2.1.el6.x86_64, I can't boot the CentOS 7.5 guests with kernel-3.10.0-862.6.3.el7.x86_64 anymore. Reverting CentOS 6.10 host to kernel-2.6.32-754.el6.x86_64 fixes the problem. Screendump of the panic is attached, not very helpful I guess. The CPU models where I could test it are: cpu family : 15 model : 65 model name : Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2218 stepping : 3 cpu family : 16 model : 6 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) II Neo N36L Dual-Core Processor stepping : 3 Didn't test on newer CPU family yet. I'm wondering, does someone see the same issue? Does it not happen on Intel CPUs? Thanks for any insight. Regards, Simon

Clamd issues on Centos 6.10
by Jay Hart 17 Jul '18

17 Jul '18

Hello all, Been having an issue today that I can't seem to solve, so reaching out to others much more knowledgeable for help/advice/assistance. I ran the software update this morning and installed 134 packages, clamd was one of the packages. Upon completion of the update, I needed to reboot the box. During bootup I got the following issue: Starting Clam AntiVirus Daemon: WARNING: Ignoring deprecated option AllowSupplementaryGroups at line 194 LibClamAV Error: cli_cvdload: Corrupted CVD header LibClamAV Error: Can't load /var/lib/clamav/main.cvd: Malformed database LibClamAV Error: cli_loaddbdir(): error loading database /var/lib/clamav/main.cvd Sat Jul 14 09:04:46 2018 -> !Malformed database [FAILED] Clamd failed to start. I modified the clamd.conf conf file to comment out the deprecated option above, this seemed to allow clamd to start following a second reboot. I followed some suggested actions from the clamd.net site, namely I ensured my DNS was still working, that I could reach clamd.net, and also removed the mirrors.dat and main.cvd files in an effort to get clamd to update via freshclam. When I run 'freshclam -v' I get the following data return: [root@centos clamav]# freshclam -v Current working dir is /var/lib/clamav Max retries == 3 ClamAV update process started at Sat Jul 14 15:09:47 2018 Using IPv6 aware code Querying current.cvd.clamav.net TTL: 1611 Software version from DNS: 0.100.1 WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!

Also, I have the default mirror location in freshclam.conf, which seems to be fine considering its been like this for years. I tried to locate the 'country code' paramater but gave that up after I got a headache looking over the documentation. I don't think its relevant to this issue anyway. I'm stuck on how to fix this. Nothing on the web shows what resolution is, nor how to fix it. Seems like I can get and receive emails, but I have no idea if they are being properly scanned. Thanks in advance, Jay

It is most likely because Firefox 60 uses a 'private' gtk3 runtime (which includes its own fontconfig set up) on el6 - as el6 uses gtk2 natively I've reported this problem at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1601475 James Pearson

kvm & permission denied
by Gregory P. Ennis 15 Jul '18

15 Jul '18

Everyone, I am trying to install KVM on a desktop unit as a lab project with the hope of being able to use kvm on one of our office servers after I learn how. So far I am very low on the learning curve. I have used the guide to make the installation : https://www.linuxtechi.com/install-kvm-hypervisor-on-centos-7-and-rhel- 7/ The installation seemed to go well, but when I tried to add Fedora 27 with virt-manager I have continued to get file permission errors. I have tried turning selinux off, and making sure the directory permissions are 777 and the file permissions are 666, but have not been able to succeed. A google search demonstrates others have had this problem, and I have tried many of the fixes that have been recorded, but no success. I am running : CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core) with 3.10.0- 862.6.3.el7.x86_64 kernel CPU : AMD FX(tm)-6300 Six-Core Processor I am using the root account through a konsole interface to activate virt-manager. The Error Message from virt-manager is : Unable to complete install: 'internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2018-07-15T13:55:37.836269Z qemu-kvm: -drive file=/home/greg/Downloads/Fedora/f27/Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-27- 1.6.iso,format=raw,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0: Could not open '/home/greg/Downloads/Fedora/f27/Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-27- 1.6.iso': Permission denied' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 89, in cb_wrapper callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 2545, in _do_async_install guest.start_install(meter=meter) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/guest.py", line 498, in start_install doboot, transient) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/guest.py", line 434, in _create_guest domain = self.conn.createXML(install_xml or final_xml, 0) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 3658, in createXML if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateXML() failed', conn=self) libvirtError: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2018-07-15T13:55:37.836269Z qemu-kvm: -drive file=/home/greg/Downloads/Fedora/f27/Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-27- 1.6.iso,format=raw,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0: Could not open '/home/greg/Downloads/Fedora/f27/Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-27- 1.6.iso': Permission denied The /var/log/message entries associated with the above error message is the following : Jul 15 08:55:37 HmGp libvirtd: 2018-07-15 13:55:37.922+0000: 1643: error : qemuMonitorOpenUnix:385 : failed to connect to monitor socket: No such process Jul 15 08:55:37 HmGp libvirtd: 2018-07-15 13:55:37.927+0000: 1643: error : qemuProcessReportLogError:1912 : internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2018-07-15T13:55:37.836269Z qemu-kvm: -drive file=/home/greg/Downloads/Fedora/f27/Fedora-Workstation-Live- x86_64-27-1.6.iso,format=raw,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0: Could not open '/home/greg/Downloads/Fedora/f27/Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64- 27-1.6.iso': Permission denied Thanks ahead of time for your help.

ssm vs. lvm: moving physical drives and volume group to another system
by Mike 15 Jul '18

15 Jul '18

I did the following test: ############################################### 1. Computer with Centos 7.5 installed on hard drive /dev/sda. Added two hard drives to the computer: /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc. Created a new logical volume in RAID-1 using RedHat System Storage Manager: ssm create --fstype xfs -r 1 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /mnt/data Everything works. /dev/lvm_pool/lvol001 is mounted to /mnt/data. Files and folders can be copied/moved, read/written on /mnt/data. ############################################### 2. I erased CentOS 7.5 from /dev/sda. Wrote zeros to /dev/sda using dd. Reinstalled CentOS 7 on /dev/sda. Completed yum update - reboot - yum install system-storage-manager. RedHat system storage manager listed all existing volumes on the computer: [root@localhost]# ssm list -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Volume Pool Volume size FS FS size Free Type Mount point -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /dev/cl/root cl 65.00 GB xfs 64.97 GB 63.67 GB linear / /dev/cl/swap cl 8.00 GB linear /dev/lvm_pool/lvol001 lvm_pool200.00 GB xfs 199.90 GB 184.53 GB raid1 /mnt/data /dev/cl/home cl 200.00 GB xfs 199.90 GB 199.87 GB linear /home /dev/sda1 4.00 GB xfs 3.99 GB 3.86 GB part /boot -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [/CODE] So far, so good. The new CentOS7 install can see the logical volume. Mounted the volume: ssm mount -t xfs /dev/lvm_pool/lvol001 /mnt/data Works. cd to /mnt/data and I can see the files left on the volume from the previous tests. Moving/copying/read/write -- works. ################################################### 3. Is it safe to assume when using RedHat System Storage Manager it's not necessary to use the lvm commands (vgexport and vgimport) to move two physical drives containing a logical volume in raid 1 from one computer to another? Thanks for your help and guidance.

Re: [CentOS] Firefox 60.0.1.0 ESR Progress?

Thanks for the idea, I'm not in a hurry and don't have a desire to hand-jam upstream versions of firefox onto desktops. I just need to track progress on the patch release and report an ETA to our cyber security team. I just figured CentOS had a fancy devops CI/CD system somewhere that I could keep tabs on to watch what's going on as patches get built, tested and published. Seems like all the cool kids are doing that kind of stuff these days. > From: Alice Wonder <alice(a)domblogger.net> > To: centos(a)centos.org > Cc: > Bcc: > Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2018 07:31:20 -0700 > Subject: Re: [CentOS] Firefox 60.0.1.0 ESR Progress? > On 07/02/2018 06:57 AM, Sean wrote: > > Is there a way to track CentOS's progress on RHSA-2018-2113? > > > > https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2018:2113 > > > > Thanks! > > _______________________________________________ > > CentOS mailing list > > CentOS(a)centos.org > > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > > > This is what I do and it works well, script run as root after > downloading compiled tarball from upstream. > > ------ > #!/bin/bash > > TMP=`mktemp -d /tmp/ff.XXXXXXXX` > mv $1 ${TMP}/ > > pushd ${TMP} > > FFOX=`echo $1 |sed -e s?"\.tar\.bz2"?""?` > > tar -jxf ${1} > > chown -R root:root firefox > > mv firefox /usr/local/${FFOX} > > popd > > pushd /usr/local > > rm -f firefox && ln -s ${FFOX} firefox > > popd > > rm -rf ${TMP} > --------- > > $1 is the FireFox downloaded from upstream (compiled) > > Installing it as root means I am safe from malware over-writing bits of > it, but I do have to manually download. > > /usr/local/firefox/firefox then starts it - and old versions are > preserved in case something breaks (I just change which one the > /usr/local/firefox link points to - though I almost never have to revert) > > It's not RPM but there are too many advantages to newer FireFox for me > to wait. >
