Yum loses memory when kernel is upgraded
by Jussi Hirvi 06 Nov '08

06 Nov '08

Centos 5.x Why could this be? After I loaded a xen kernel (by mistake), yum seemed to lose its knowledge of my CentOS version. I had that fixed by "yum install centos-release" (I had first to fix the repo addresses for this to succeed). But after that, I noticed that yum did not remember anymore, what packages were already installed. It seems that the something happens to the rpm databases. I think this is connected to kernel upgrades - that is, every time I update the kernel, the rpm databases are spoiled... (or something). Right now both of these commands: yum list installed rpm --query -a ...produce identical results (for practical purposes). Neither list contains for example amavisd-new, which I'm sure I have installed. Does someone know a way to prevent the "memory loss" from happening again? - Jussi -- Jussi Hirvi * Green Spot Topeliuksenkatu 15 C * 00250 Helsinki * Finland Tel. & fax +358 9 493 981 * Mobile +358 40 771 2098 (only sms) jussi.hirvi(a)greenspot.fi * http://www.greenspot.fi

VMWare Sandbox
by Thom Paine 05 Nov '08

05 Nov '08

I need to experiment with ldap for a site I manage, and wondered if vmware would be a good way to go for some testing. My current server is RHEL3, which is getting dated, and I think that I should refresh this server entirely in the move to ldap. We need to have an ldap server for publishing email addresses for a VPN for a nursing home that the upstream can harvest and we can browse to send confidential patient records. RHEL3 prollie won't cut it, so I'm considering moving to CentOS5. If I get a nice working test environment working, I wondered about running the server on VMWare, because the hardware will likely need to be refreshed in 2 years anyways. Copying the vmware file and the data to a new server would make for a fast upgrade. Any feedback on what I am attempting to do here? Any other recommendations on how I should tackle this? Currently I'm using Samba 3 with passdb. It's nothing fancy, but it works. We have about 20 XP machines here. The server also hosts mail as well. -- -=/>Thom

I intend to backup both Windows and Linux server. Can I use this to backup my linux mail server with Zimbra services shutdown? Can I use this to backup windows server machine without using Samba or it is the only way to go. I intend to read manual of these two when I got my machine to test, for a while maybe I can get some insight from those who have already experience using these tools.
