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

Collecting data
by derleader __ 24 Dec '10

24 Dec '10

Hi, I'm developing C plugin for Centos which will be installed as kernel module. The problem is how to collect the data about: CPU Check – Utilization, Model, Number of Cores RAM Check – Total Memory, Free Memory, Memory Load HDD Check – Number of physical HDDs, Number of logical partitions, Total space, Free space Running processes – Total number of processes Logs – system logs such as error logs System uptime Users logged in and last login – total list of users Total network connections Check hardware parts model and number The kernel module will check the status of the OS every 5 minutes. What is the most efficient way to collect these data? Regards Peter

{SOLVED} Re: DNS update system-config-network GUI

I have tried using Per replies in this thread, I modified the resolv.conf and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 files. The changes I made to those files did not work, and, if my memory is correct (it was several weeks ago), those files reverted to their original state. I solved this by assigning this Desktop PC a Static IP address. Since what happens, using DHCP, is, apparently, working the way it is designed to work, if and when I have a Laptop and am roaming around with it, I will fight this problem a lot harder. Thanks again, to those who replied! Much appreciated! Happy Holidays! Lanny

by Rob Kampen 24 Dec '10

24 Dec '10

Hi List, I have been using the php 5.2.10 from the testing repo and note the following: the php-suhosin packages in testing do not match the php version > PHP Warning: PHP Startup: suhosin: Unable to initialize module > Module compiled with module API=20050922, debug=0, thread-safety=0 > PHP compiled with module API=20060613, debug=0, thread-safety=0 Also, does anyone know of a rpm for php-memcache and php-Fileinfo good for php 5.2.10? The rf ones are for base CentOS. TIA Rob

The case of the missing mail
by Anne Wilson 24 Dec '10

24 Dec '10

I became suspicious that I should have received a certain message, and reading pm.log I discovered that it had indeed arrived and had been allocated to /var/mail/anne, despite procmailrc telling it that MAILDIR=/home/anne/Maildir/ Any idea what might have caused this? It seems to have been working like this only in the last 24 hours or so. Anne -- KDE Community Working Group New to KDE Software? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
