disk partitioning - I'm missing something simple, I think
by Ray Leventhal 09 May '08

09 May '08

Hi all, Excuse the question as I'm sure those more experienced will find it simple. I've a CentOS5.1 box with six physical drives, two of which are used for nightly rsync backups. Contents of /etc/mtab, /etc/fstab, df and a brief narrative follow: ====================================================== # cat ./fstab /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/home/adminusers /home/adminusers ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 ====================================================== # cat ./mtab /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 / ext3 rw 0 0 proc /proc proc rw 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0 /dev/sdc1 /home ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/sdd1 /home/adminusers ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/sda1 /boot ext3 rw 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0 none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw 0 0 sunrpc /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs rw 0 0 ====================================================== # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 131G 4.7G 120G 4% / /dev/sdc1 271G 147G 111G 58% /home /dev/sdd1 271G 3.9G 253G 2% /home/adminusers /dev/sda1 99M 20M 74M 22% /boot tmpfs 442M 0 442M 0% /dev/shm ====================================================== Each night, in addition to our tape backup paradigm, an rsync script is run which mounts /dev/sdb1 on /mnt/sysinfo and copies system data from sda1 there. /dev/sdb1 is a 146GB drive. The script then mounts /dev/sde1 on /mnt/userdata for a copy of /home and /home/adminusers. /dev/sde1 is a wholly underutilized 300G drive. I'd like to move the contents of /home/adminusers from /dev/sdd1 to /dev/sdc1 and use that underutilized drive elsewhere. What's the least invasive way of doing this given the hardware and partitioning on my system? Thanks in advance, -Ray

can't get Tomcat5 to work on centos 5.1, how do I get it to work?
by Rudi Ahlers 09 May '08

09 May '08

Hi all A client of ours wants Tomcat 5 to be installed on a CentOS 5 server, I naturally just ran "yum -y install tomcat5 tomcat5-webapps tomcat5-admin-webapps" which installed it without any errors. Then I typed in service tomcat5 start, and tries to access it as such "lynx http://localhost:8080/" but keep on getting an error "connection refused" [root@vps06 /]# service tomcat5 start Starting tomcat5: lock file found but no process running for pid 19684, continuing [ OK ] I don't see any tomcat errors in /var/log/messages but get this: [root@vps06 /]# tail -f /var/log/tomcat5/catalina.out at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.start(catalina-5.5.23.jar.sonuy1u1.so) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.start(catalina-5.5.23.jar.sonuy1u1.so) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(catalina-5.5.23.jar.sonuy1u1.so) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(libgcj.so.7rh) ...2 more Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Cannot create additional threads at java.lang.Thread.start(libgcj.so.7rh) at java.lang.Runtime.runShutdownHooks(libgcj.so.7rh) at java.lang.Runtime.exitNoChecks(libgcj.so.7rh) at java.lang.Runtime.exitNoChecksAccessor(libgcj.so.7rh) I don't know Tomcat at all. Can someone please help me with this? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Check out my technical blog, http://blog.softdux.com for Linux or other technical stuff, or visit http://www.WebHostingTalk.co.za for Web Hosting stuff

rsync - set owner and group?
by Sean Carolan 09 May '08

09 May '08

Is there a way to force rsync to set a specific owner and group on destination files? I have managed to get the permissions set up the way I want, but the owner and group are still defaulting to a numeric id instead of the correct owner and group. I suppose I could add a manual "chown -R owner:group" at the end of my script, but was curious if rsync had this built in. Or maybe there is some ACL setting that will force the right owner and group on all new files. thanks Sean

[CSL #351425] perfctr-enabled C5 kernel anyone?
by David Thompson 09 May '08

09 May '08

Hi all: We have a user who needs to do some work with PAPI, which requires the perfctr patch applied to the kernel proper. Before I do that work here, I wanted to ask the list if anyone knows of a repo where such kernels are available? Also, if anyone has gone down this route and has helpful hints, perspectives, horror stories, etc., I would covet that information also. Cheers and Thanks, Dave Thompson UW-Madison Computer Sciences Department

Irritant
by Sam Drinkard 09 May '08

09 May '08

Hi again, I've got a nagging irritant with either putty or the man pages, or perhaps my setup. If I use putty to log into my server and request any man page, it returns the page, but really important stuff like keywords are blank. Is this perhaps caused by the wrong terminal setting in putty or is there something with Centos man pages that cause this to happen? Thanks again, Sam

OT, but just a quick question.
by Jimmy Bradley 09 May '08

09 May '08

I know this is off topic, so please accept my apologies. This is just out of curiosity, and a number of people I've talked to in the area I live in have said the same thing. About 2 weeks ago, my one remaining xp machine downloaded and installed an update from Microsoft. Ever since then, the machine has run slower than a dead person. I was just wondering if anyone here on the list who still has a xp machine or two running has noticed the same thing? Thanks Jim

Apache Redirects...
by Craig White 09 May '08

09 May '08

I'm trying to require SSL for drupal login and admin pages and it seems that this should work but it doesn't redirect if added to httpd.conf or to .htaccess (I've tried both) RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(user|admin) RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [L,R] Shouldn't this be enough so that the URL...(googling suggests that it is) http://cms.tobyhouse.com/user/login is automatically redirected to https://cms.tobyhouse.com/user/login ?

OFF-TOPIC: Job opening in Marin County, California
by Bart Schaefer 09 May '08

09 May '08

I'm feeling rather sheepish about adding to topic drift, but like Jim last week, I'm looking for a developer to work on either/both front-/back-end components of our LAMP (with P as in Perl) application. Compared to Jim, I can probably promise a little less abuse but just as many hours and as much stress. More details here: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/eng/669189624.html CentOS system administration skills would be a big plus, too. With apologies, we now return you to your usual yum breakage and miscellaneous rpm incompatibilities.
