Software RAID + LVM + Grub
by Matthew Topper 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

I'm playing with software RAID and LVM in some virtual machines and I've run into an issue that I can't find a good answer to in the docs. I have the following RAID setup: md0: sda1 and sdb1, RAID 1. This is /boot md1: sda2 and sdb2, RAID 1. This is a PV for LVM. VolGroup00, this is the volume group and md1 is the only PV in it. LogVol00 is swap LogVol01 is / LogVol02 is /home So, I tested to see what happens if I disable sdb in virtualbox. Machine booted find and I was able to see that part of the raid array was gone. I reattached the disk and rebuilt the array mdam --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdb1 mdam --add /dev/md1 /dev/sdb2 The array rebuilt without issue. But now, if I remove sda, the machine doesn't boot and grub complains. The question I have is how does one reinstall the boot sector at this point? I'm a little confused as far as to what device to install it on and what to specify as the root. This is grub.conf if it helps: default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title CentOS (2.6.18-194.e15) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.e15 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 initrd /initrd-2.6.18-194.e15.img Grub has always been a little confusing for me, so I guess I don't understand. What do the two root entries specify? And again, my main question is how do I reinstall grub to the repaired disk? Sorry for the lengthy post, I'm trying to provide as much information as possible.

Gnome mouse configuration.
by James B. Byrne 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

On my Centos-5.5 (x64) based desktop the optical mouse I originally configured during the system install has died. In /etc/sysconfig/hwconf this is configured as: class: MOUSE bus: USB detached: 0 device: input/mice driver: genericwheelusb desc: "Microsoft Microsoft 3-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM)" usbclass: 3 usbsubclass: 1 usbprotocol: 2 usbbus: 4 usblevel: 1 usbport: 0 usbdev: 4 vendorId: 045e deviceId: 0053 usbmfr: Microsoft usbprod: Microsoft 3-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM) I have replaced the failed mouse with a spare from our surplus parts cabinet and now the centre wheel/button click no longer inserts selected text at the current cursor position. I would like to obtain this feature with the replacement mouse, which is described on the bottom as a MicroSoft Optical Mouse Blue USB and PS/2 compatible. It has a usb connector which is plugged directly into the chassis usb port. All the other features of the mouse seem to work just fine. I simply cannot obtain the centre button click insert capability. Is there no way to simply force CentOS-5 to re-detect the attached mouse? It must have done something akin to this during the initial install. I tried running kudzu as root from a gnome terminal session but that had no effect that I can detect. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

How to simulate minimal ISO install using stage2 image file?
by Chad Woolley 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

Hello, I'm working on a project which automates creation of EC2 AMI images. To do this, you must use a running EC2 instance to mount an image file in a chroot jail. My problem is that I want to create an AMI that looks exactly like a minimal (nothing selected) install from the CentOS ISO image, but the "stage2" image [1] file is much more "minimal" than that. e.g., it doesn't have yum, groups, devices, networking, etc set up as you would if you had run the ISO minimal install on a real or virtual box. I can't mount the ISO directly in the chroot (as far as I know, but I could be wrong). My question is, how can I make the mounted stage2.img chroot jail look just like a minimal ISO install? I could manually create everything (which I have started), but this is a lot of work, and I'm likely to miss something that an ISO build would have (e.g. some group). Is there some other standard CentOS script I can run after mounting the stage2.img which will do everything the installer does? Can I run the installer manually with some kickstart script? Pointers to references and documentation are welcome... Thanks, -- Chad [1] http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/centos/5.5/os/x86_64/images/

Using Make in frequent cron job
by Kenneth Porter 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

Is there a way to get Make to be silent when it does nothing, but have its normal verbosity when something is made? I want to use Make in a frequent cron job (every 1/2 hour, perhaps 10 minutes) but I don't want to get a bunch of emails telling me nothing was done (which will be most of the time). I just want to know when it found something to do.
