Resizing a PV that belongs within a Volume Group?
by Eric B. 19 Feb '10

19 Feb '10

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to extend (ie: grow) a PV that is part of a Volume Group? I currently have a partition on my HD that is being used as a PV for my Volume Group, but would like to make it larger. I have the space on my drive to extend my partition, but using standard tools (ex: gparted, Partition Magic, etc) would likely end up corrupting the data on in the Logical Volumes that are housed within the VG. I realize that I could just create a new partition on my HD and just add it to my Volume Group and extend my Volume Group, however, given that it would be two contiguous partitions on the HD, I was just wondering if there was a way of resizing the original partition within the VG without causing any problems. I tried looking at tools like pvresize but I can't seem to understand the right arguments to use it as whatever I try never seems to resize the original partition itself. I also looked at system-config-lvm GUI tool, but that doesn't seem to allow me to make the PV any larger. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks! Eric

best practice: how to setup a central "network installation server"?
by Rudi Ahlers 19 Feb '10

19 Feb '10

Hi, I want to setup a central installation server, but haven't done this before, so I want to find out what would be best practices for this? The server I have already runs as a central repo, which is updated from one or our local centos mirrors, and the other CentOS servers (both i386 & x64), as well as CentOS VPS's get their updates from this server. But, now I want to allow a client to perform a quick network installation, using either a netbood CD, or preferably with the server's network bootrom. I understand this can be done with bootp, or am I on the wrong track? the server is a general file server and also acts as our in-office internet gateway, and has Webmin installed for convenience sake. I don't know if this is of any use? Generally we would be (re)installing CentOS servers & desktops, but I guess it could be useful for other distro's like Fedora Core / Debian / FreeBSD? / etc. What would be a good option to go for, or could someone point me to a good documentation? Doing a google search I found a lot of instructions on how to perform a network installation on the client PC's, but not how to configure the server. Maybe I used the wrong key words? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

Dependency problem with yum-utils when installing Cobbler on CentOS
by Marcelo M. Garcia 19 Feb '10

19 Feb '10

Hi I'm trying to set up a Cobbler server, and when I run "cobbler check", I got the following message: The following potential problems were detected: #0: yum-utils need to be at least version 1.1.17 for reposync -l, current version is 1.1.16 [root@tannat ~]# I'm using Cobbler 1.6.6-1, CentOS-5.4 (x86_64), and (as the message says), yum-utils 1.1.16. Is there a way to fool "Cobbler check"? Thanks Marcelo

Server HD failed and I think I am hosed
by Slack-Moehrle 19 Feb '10

19 Feb '10

a hd in my server failed. I noticed when I went to SSH in and get a copy of some files in /var/www/html I tried to tar the files and I was told No, read-only file system. I restarted and tried running FSCK manually (without -a or -p) and I get inode errors, short reads, etc. I tried booting to my CentOS 53 install DVD. I do linux rescue and I get to where it wants to know where CentOS images are. I select local CD-ROM and it just spits it out at me and tells me to try someplace else. Even though I booted from the CD! I am not sure what else to do. I dont think I can mount this on my macBook to do anything. But I really need just the data from /var/www/html. I have a backup that is a week old, but I know changes were made late last week that I would like to not have to do again.... Where is my backup of the changes I made? Well my SSD drive failed in my laptop and I dont think I have them... Can anyone provide advice as to what to do next? Also, what would have caused this all of the sudden? This box has been running fine for months.

HP Proliant ML150 : how do I access disks ?
by Niki Kovacs 18 Feb '10

18 Feb '10

Hi, Up until now, I've only installed Linux either on "desktop" hardware, meaning one of the desktop PCs in the LAN acted as a server machine for the network, or I rented some dedicated server somewhere in a datacenter. Last week I bought some server hardware, a used HP Proliant ML150. It's the first time I am dealing with this sort of hardware. The hardware was sold "as is", without any warranty. When I open the front cache, there are six small "drawers", and the bottom two of them each contain a 72 GB hard disk. I inserted a CentOS 5.4 install CD (1 of 6), and the installer (linux text) booted correctly. But when it comes to partitioning, it "sees" no disk. Unlike the usual desktop hardware, there seems to be a myriad of configuration options, and I'm a bit lost here. So first things first. How do I configure this machine so the CentOS installer can actually recognize my two inserted hard disks as such : say, sda and sdb or similarly ? Any suggestions ? Niki Kovacs

x86_64 package mess ?
by Niki Kovacs 18 Feb '10

18 Feb '10

Hi, I just installed CentOS 5.4 on a 64bit-server. It's the first time I work with this sort of hardware. Doing rpm -qa | sort | less shows that most of the packages seem to be installed twice: once for i386 architecture, and then again for x86_64. Is this normal? Or did I mess up something during install (thought I wouldn't know what)? Niki

Linksys 160nl
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 18 Feb '10

18 Feb '10

I'm finally biting the bullet, and replacing the 12-yr-old box that's been my firewall/router with an appliance. First, does anyone have any idea whether the WRT160 nl can use tomato? Second, is there any way, or any reason, I could/would want to run bastille against the firmware? mark
