by Agnello George 08 Dec '10

08 Dec '10

HI I was just assigned a laptop with a pre install windows 7 in it. I decide to dual boot this server with cent os 5.5 , i did a "linux text " at the boot prompt as anaconda was not able to display the graphis screen ( it was barely viable ) . The installation happened perfect , but when i start x windows " startx" or init3 , i can barely see the display. I dont know where the issue lies , what module do i need to load .The display is barely visible . Thanks for all the help !! -- Regards Agnello D'souza

I made a diskless node centos. the pxelinux.cfg/default file : default centos label centos kernel vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.el5 append initrd=initrd-2.6.18-194.el5.nfs.img nfsroot=10.10.10.1:/srv/centos ip=dhcp rw I can successfull*y boot-strap the system with no error.* *But when i shutdown or reboot it . It will show in the screen :* *Unmounting NFS filesystems* *INIT:no more process left in this rulevel* * * * * *and then ,it just hang.* * * *i think it is because it umounted the nfsroot filesystem and can't do the things behind. but I really have no idea about how to resolve that.* *Any help is granted. thanks.*

LVM change disk
by muhammad panji 07 Dec '10

07 Dec '10

Dear all, I have a 4,1TB Logical volume consist of four disks with size of 2TB, 1TB, 1TB, and 500GB. The LV currently full. I plan to change the 1Tb disks and 500Gb disks. I plan to remove one 1TB disk or the 500GB so that I can replace it with 2TB disk. most LVM tutorial ask to use pvmove to move phisical extent to the new disk. The problem is that I have no SATA port left so that I can't move PE to the new disk. How to migrate the data safely so that I can replace the disk? Thank you in advance regards, -- ----- Muhammad Panji

A hint is just that, a hint. I might put a couple of letters and/or numbers in, to remind myself of what the password is, but then block out the rest, such as BuXXXX-019999 mark, pulling brown paper bag over head before admitting to having written a lot of COBOL back in the day....

I boot to the CD and when I get to selecting where I am installing from (local cd, hard disk, ftp, etc) I select Local CD and it cannot find a driver and wants me to manually specify or use a driver disk. I ave no idea what drive is in this system. Can anyone point me in the right direction? -Jason

Re: [CentOS] difference between cron and shell invocation.
by James B. Byrne 07 Dec '10

07 Dec '10

Question. In a chained cron job like this: sshfs . . . && /usr/bin/rsync . . . | /bin/mail -s . . . && . . . Is there anyway to get a failure message from the first part to be emailed or logged? Given the resolution of this problem I gather that sshfs must not have been found and therefore I would expect an error to be reported somewhere. The chained commands evidently interfered with the propagation of this error which would have immediately identified the source of the problem. Is it possible to get errors from the individual parts of such chained commands forwarded to an email address, or logged in the system log, or both? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

difference between cron and shell invocation.
by James B. Byrne 07 Dec '10

07 Dec '10

I have a fairly involved root cron task that I moved verbatim from another server. On the original server, this task ran without problem. On the new server, when this task runs via cron, which I confirm is happening by looking in the cron log, no files are transferred and no error is reported. However, if I copy cron command from roots crontab and paste it into a terminal session on the new server then the task runs to completion and the files are transferred. This task involves sshfs, fuse, and rsync and employs pki certificates for authentication. The fact that it works from the shell without alteration and yet not from cron is the issue. Does anyone have any idea where I would start to track down what is going on? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
