Re: [CentOS] Xnest unable to connect with firewall enabled (possible bug with 5.3)
by Sid Kapoor 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

Hi, My requirement is to use Xnest only. It was working seamlessly with 5.2 but not with 5.3 I am using this command to connect to the remote X-server. Xnest :1 -geometry 800x600 -query *<ip-address-of-X-server>* Can anyone confirm the same behavior? Or shall I file the bug in bugzilla?

Clarify TTY and virtual consoles
by Yungwei Chen 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

Hi, I need some help to clarify TTY and virtual consoles. Thanks a lot. 1. I learned that to switch from one TTY to another, one must be at the physical machine. Does the same apply to virtual consoles? 2. My /etc/inittab includes the following. Does that mean there's only one instance of TTY on my CentOS? ... # Run gettys in standard runlevels co:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty xvc0 9600 vt100-nav #1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1 #2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2 #3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3 #4:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4 #5:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5 #6:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6 3. My CentOS was installed with Base option only. (This should be the minimum.) I don't plan to use any GUI stuff, and I always connect to my CentOS server using SSH. In this case, do I still need virtual consoles and TTYs defined in /etc/securetty? 4. What does "console" mean in /etc/securetty?

network not starting and maybe other services in a virtual machine
by Jerry Geis 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

I am installing centos 5.3 i386 in a virtual machine. I am using kvm-87 (which I use for other images just fine). The box installed fine, it boots up I can login but NONE of the services are starting . When watching the boot up process it goes from the "Welcome to CentOS 5.3 " directly to mounting the partitions and a login prompt. All the services are not being started. What didnt happen at install? or what do I check now. /etc/inittab looks normal. Thanks, Jerry

Status of RPMForge || RPMRepo
by Andrew Hull 21 Sep '09

Are the websites for RPMForge or RPMRepo off line for anyone else? As an aside (since I am just noticing), how long has rpmforge.net redirected to rpmrepo.org/rpmforge? Thanks, Andy

How does LVM decide which Physical Volume to write to?
by Oliver Ransom 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

Hi everyone. This isn't specifically a CentOS question, since it could apply for any distro but I hope someone can answer it anyway. I took the following steps but was puzzled by the outcome of the test at the end: 1. Create a RAID1 array called md3 with two 750GB drives 2. Create a RAID1 array called md9 with two 500GB drives 3. Initialise md3 then md9 as physical volumes (pvcreate) 4. Create a new volume group called "3ware" with md3 (helps me remember what controller the disks are on) 5. Use vgextend and add md9 to the 3ware volume group. 6. Add a logical volume filling the volume group then create a ext3 filesystem on the entire volume. Now I started moving a lot of data onto the volume and iostat said all the data was being written to md9. Why that array? How does it decide which physical volume to write to? I could not find any documentation or information online about how exactly this works. Thanks! Oliver
