Hello list.
I have an local webserver running latest centos 7 release. The website
is connected to mssql database on other windows server and worked fine
since months until today.
After update last centos packages, greek characters from sql request
look like question marks ?????
The config files are the same and the connection use utf8 set.
Any ideas?
Thank you for advance, Nikos.
Hi,
how can I convert the storage type of VMs from being stored in
individual qcow2 files to being stored in a storage pool?
The VMs may be shut down during the conversion.
I was just given a Dell R720xd with 160 GB memory and 12x 900 GB drives
that I plan to deploy as my home mail/file/backup server to replace an
aging Supermicro server running CentOS 7. Yeah, it's gross overkill for
that and I expect to tuck most of the drives away for spares.
How should I RAID and partition this beast for maximum reliability?
My current C7 system is using 1 TB of 2 TB capacity on the root partition
(4x 1 TB drives in RAID 10). /boot is 300MB/50GB. Memory and swap is 8GB
each.
I've been doing a CentOS 7.6.1810 net-install since last night. The machine
seems ok but has been stuck with "performing post-installation setup tasks"
for hours. This is an old Dell T5400 box, so it isn't blazing fast but ...
Is there a way to pull up its skirt (so to speak) and check/monitor the
installation activity while installing it? Having already started the
installation?
BTW, in the phase of the install process, is it still hitting the net?
Well, we knew the 'Net was invented solely for cute cat pictures. Now I
have proof that selinux is part of that conspiracy. From dmesg, on one of
my servers:
[ 3366.091561] SELinux: 8 users, 14 roles, 5031 types, 316 bools, 1 sens,
1024 cats

Moved a server from the datacenter to our secure room. I've changed the
DNS, and our dhcpd... and yet, every time it boots, it comes up with the
IP it had in the datacenter.
Any idea where it could be caching the IP - maybe in the initramfs?
C 7, updated.

Hi,
how can DNS reliability, as experienced by clients on the LAN who are
sending queries, be increased?
Would I have to set up some sort of cluster consisting of several
servers all providing DNS services which is reachable under a single
IP address known to the clients?
Just setting up several name servers and making them known to the clients
for the clients to automatically switch isn't a good solution because
the clients take their timeouts and users lacking even the most basic
knowledge inevitably panic when the first name server does not answer
queries.
Has anyone used fastboot together with the Google Pixel 3a/3a XL phone? I cannot get it to be recognized and wonder if the version of fastboot available for Centos 7 may not be recent enough? It does work with older phones I have so the setup should be correct.
