Help! I hosed my system and did a restore from a backup but when I boot, I get an error no inittab file found. Where can I get a 5.2, 'stock' inittab file not in a rpm so I can use a rescue disk to create this file? Or if possible, could someone please post their's for me? TIA

problem with bridged network for a kvm guest
by Negative 19 May '10

19 May '10

I'm having trouble with the bridged network setup. I'm new to kvm, but I got a window xp sp2 guest set up without trouble a few days ago. I followed the instructions in the RH virtualization guide, and all was fine until I had to reboot the host machine a few days later. Then, I lost networking altogether on the host machine. I lost track of all the things I tried, but finally got networking back on the host, but I suspect it's not right. For one thing, I deleted ifcfg-br0. Also, I commented out bridge=br0 in ifcfg-eth0. Oddly, ifconfig shows both interfaces, and shows them both set to static ip. One of the points I'm confused about is what, if anything, to write for the ip address in ifcfg-eth0. When I first set it up, I set the bridge interface to dhcp, and kept the host as a static ip on my lan. That made made the host dhcp, but that's no good for me, so I set the ip in ifcfg-br0 to my static ip, and everything worked fine, even though it didn't make sense that both eth0 and br0 had the same ip. Thanks for any guidance.

Package Information Site?
by Tim Nelson 18 May '10

18 May '10

Greetings all- Over the years, I've become incredibly spoiled by 'packages.debian.org' which allows me to search for a package, view it's description, download it, see dependencies, see similar packages, etc... Does such a site or resource exist for CentOS? Tim Nelson Systems/Network Support Rockbochs Inc. (218)727-4332 x105

Useful NFS hint
by Stephen Harris 18 May '10

18 May '10

Don't do NFS localhost mounts from fstab eg localhost:/origdir /newdir nfs ro 0 0 (Indeed, don't do localhost NFS mounts at all). Why? Because at shutdown time nfsd is terminated before the unmounting, so the shutdown hangs trying to access NFS server localhost. And at boot time it tries to do NFS mounts before nfsd starts up. _sigh_ -- rgds Stephen

Update successful. Thanks.
by Ron Blizzard 18 May '10

My desktop updated without a hitch... well, actually, I ran out of disk space after the download completed, so had to clear some space, but the update process continued from where I left off without a hitch -- and that's hardly CentOS's fault. I've still got to update my laptop, but am a little leery, because I think I've a got a hard drive failing. At any rate, thank you *again* for all your hard work. I don't know if I'm imagining it or not, but overall speed seems to be slightly "snappier" with the new update. -- RonB CentOS 5.5 - Optiplex GX270

rsync - dirs and symlinks only, not contents
by aurfalien＠gmail.com 17 May '10

17 May '10

Hi all, I have a need to copy only dirs, subdirs and sym links only without the need to copy contents. I originally used the following test to observe behavior; rsync -a -f"+ */" -f"- *" source destination So I noticed that dirs/subdirs were copied but without contents as desired. I have several sym links (dir sym links) that I would also to to copy over. I tried this; rsync -a -f"+ */" -f"- * -l" source destination Although my sym links show, they are broken. Any thoughts on how to copy dirs, subdirs and sym links only w/o contents?
