RAID1 migration - /dev/md1 is not there
by Sam Beam 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

I am trying to convert an existing IDE one-disk system to RAID1 using the general strategy found here: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2005-March/003813.html But I am stuck on one thing - when I went to create the second md device with mdadm, # mdadm --create /dev/md1 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/hdb2 missing mdadm: error opening /dev/md1: No such file or directory And indeed, ls /dev/md* shows only md0, which worked fine. I do have the 'raid1' kernel module loaded. What am I missing? Do I need to create the nodes manually now? thanks -S

Downgrade an rpm
by Joseph L. Casale 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

I have an app I suspect is not working right as certain rpm's are a higher version then it recommends. If I have used a 3rd party to install the app which dragged in many dependencies with it, what is the procedure to downgrade only the specific rpms I need? Thanks! jlc

Gnumeric
by centos＠911networks.com 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Hi, I am trying to install Gnumeric in CentOS 4 and I can't. It complains about quite a few dependencies failing. It suggested installing some postgresql librairies, openldap librairies... I did that, now I still get: dependencies failed: libmdb/libmdbsq/libsqlite/libxbase/libtds. Is there a yum repository that has them or a yum repository for gnumeric? I have tried Dag, he does not, he has libgda, but that has other requirements... -- Thanks

Local Mirror of Extras and Dev
by Joseph L. Casale 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

I setup a local mirror of base and updates, can I simply rsync the hierarchy of extras and dev the same way without issue? I see the repo for these follows a slightly different setup than updates for example. Thanks, jlc

backup to disk
by Ray Leventhal 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Hi, I'm looking for common practices for backing up user data to disk. My user data is all in /home. I'm also interested in what folks are doing for things backing up os and configs. Any pointers on setting up rsync, cpio, etc would be appreciated. Pointers to good how-to's especially welcome. Currently we're using Arkeia Network Backup (commercial product with which I am in no way affiliated), and it's great, but with disk space so cheap, I'd love to be able to take my current non-raid setup and find a way to get up and running quickly in the case of some failures. Thanks in advance, -Ray
