Preserving LVM after after os reload
by Sherin George 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

Hi guys, I have two disks, one with OS and a second disk containing an LVM. I would like to OS reload the server without losing LVM. I heard that LVM is self sustaining. Is that true ? Should I backup something(using vgcfgbackup & vgexport ?) to get LVM running after os reload. Thanks in advance. -- Sherin

how to do repetetive command in shell
by Roland RoLaNd 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Dear all, i'm writing a certain script which does a specific task in a repetitive manner, i'm going to give a similar script with the same concept hope you could advise me to a better way: USER1="roland" USER2="dany" USER3="kevin" cp -r /opt/$USER1/test /backup/$USER1 cp -r /opt/$USER2/test /backup/$USER2 such a command would be repeated 832 times (this is just an example) so instead of copying the above line 832 times and appending that user's number in each "$USER" is there a way to do it in a smarter way ? thanks, --Rolad

No "last command" in VIM?
by Dotan Cohen 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Although I made sure that vim-enhanced.i386 is installed, pressing : then upArrow does not show me the last command that I've typed. Might I still be using vim-minimal erroneously? How to fix that? I don't see any mention of this in google or the past few months of fine archives. Thanks.

missing dependency for package
by Ski Dawg 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Hello everyone, I know this isn't strictly CentOS query, but I am hoping that someone here with more experience than myself might have some thoughts. I am trying to get a plugin working for Ganglia on a CentOS 5.5 box, in a testing environment. The plugin is for apache monitoring, called Ganglia-Logtailer. This plugin requires the executable /usr/bin/logtail in order to work. The only packages that have this executable, that I have been able to find, is part of the epel-testing repository in the logcheck package. When I try to install the package from that repository, it is missing the dependency, perl-mime-construct, which I am not able to find packaged anywhere. It appears that the logcheck package includes several other executables that I do not need, and those other executables are what requires the perl-mime-construct package. My question is, does anyone know of a source to get this package that would also include the necessary requirements? If not, any way that I can rebuild the source package, and remove the things that I do not need, and thus removing their dependencies? If I have to maintain my own package for this, I can, but I would prefer another option, if available. Any other way of getting this single executable that anyone can think of? -- Doug Registered Linux User #285548 (http://counter.li.org) ---------------------------------------- Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window. -- Steve Wozniak

Xen3.3 rpm for 32Bit?
by Dirk H. Schulz 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Hi folks, I would like to test Xen3.3 on CentOS 5.5 on an older machine which is not 64bit capable. Since this is just a "first impression" test I do not want to fuzz with compiling the kernels and tools myself (that comes in a later step). Can someone please point me to a repo with 32bit Xen3.3 kernels for CentOS 5? GITCO supplies 64bit kernels only, and googling brought up nothing else. Thanks for any hint or help. Dirk

Hello, I am looking for good website with information on the above 2 items listed in the subject. I have place some with RAID and believe I am picking that up but XEN is another story. I have some free time coming and would really like to learn both and build my present machine into a VM with many hosts installed for testing/learning. Any and all information/links you could forward onto me would be greatly appreciated. Thnx -- Regards Robert Linux The adventure of a life time. Linux User #296285 Get Counted http://counter.li.org/

black display during installation of CentOS5.5
by Ritika Garg 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

I had posted the following question 4-5 days ago. I want to add something to the question which is important. The question was: During installation of CentOS5.3 from DVD, the installation was interrupted due to an error in a rpm package as the DVD had lot of scratches. So I burned image of CentOS5.5 on DVD. I selected installation in graphical mode. The first graphical interface screen comes from where we proceed further by clicking next. This screen is almost black and its impossible to carry out further installation as visibility is very poor. I was trying above for Dell Inspiron laptop which has Windows7 installed on it. I checked the CentOS5.5 DVD on another system which is desktop and found that the graphical interface is perfectly alright there. So is there any setting that has to be done in the laptop?
