by Indunil Jayasooriya 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

Hi, I have a mailgw running Centos where trendmicro(IMSS) is installed. it works perfectly. Now, the problem is it is running out of Harddisk. pls see below and pay attention to / file system (/dev/sda6), where only 1.3 gb is available. these are not Logical volums (LVM) [root@gateway 17141]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda6 9.7G 7.9G 1.3G 87% / /dev/sda1 99M 9.2M 85M 10% /boot /dev/sda5 15G 11G 3.5G 75% /opt none 627M 0 627M 0% /dev/shm I checkd with du -h. then, I saw /var has 7.1 gb. So, Now I want to know, If I plug a new harddisk and partion with fdisk and then format that harddisk, will I able to mount /var directory to it ? Your Ideas? -- Thank you Indunil Jayasooriya

Did/Can you get the customer to try 'Ctrl-Alt-F1' or similar to see whether it may be that the Xserver has hung but not the OS ? Also, if they know the IP can you get them to attempt a ping from another machine ? -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

I've used bacula in production at a few sites, it has all the enterprise features, except a good GUI ;-) It can control autoloaders and do full backups each night etc. http://bacula.org Typically, people use 'mt' to control autoloaders from the CLI.

Do you need to reboot after adding an entry to fstab?
by Robert Moskowitz 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

man mount.davfs provides an entry in fstab for -t davfs. Does simply adding this into fstab complete the task, or is a reboot needed? (or some service restarted).

Desktop freeze... now what?
by Niki Kovacs 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

Hi, I installed CentOS 5 on a client's machine yesterday afternoon. He phoned me in the evening to tell me that his desktop "froze several times upon him", and he had to hard-reboot it. The last time this happened to me was with some exotic wireless card whose driver had problems with SMP. But here, I have no wireless card. So the only suspect is the NVidia Geforce 4000 card. The only non-standard thing I did in my install was to install the proprietary NVidia driver from nvidia.com. I knew afterwards this was not a good thing to do, since the RPMForge repos do have an nvidia-legacy drivers. I remembered this too late. Anyway. I'm due to return to the client in a few hours time next morning. I wonder if reverting from "nvidia" to "nv" in xorg.conf could solve my problem. As for updates, the system is up to date. But I admit I'm a bit clueless. Any suggestions? Niki

yum-security not working?
by Florin Andrei 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

Is yum-security supposed to work on CentOS too, not only on Red Hat? I installed it on a system that has not been updated in quite a while, so I know there are security updates for it, but it does not list any security-related updates: # yum list-sec Loading "security" plugin Loading "installonlyn" plugin Loading "protectbase" plugin Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files 0 packages excluded due to repository protections list-sec done # yum --security check-update Loading "installonlyn" plugin Loading "security" plugin Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished Limiting package lists to security relevant ones No packages needed, for security, 128 available # -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

Add more space to LVM
by Todd Reed 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

I have a database server that is running out of space. All my databases are being stored in a 80G /opt partition. Because I'm using LVM, wouldn't I be able to pop the HDDs (a h/w raid volume) in, add it to the LVM, and resize my ext3 /opt partition? Everything that I've been reading says this is possible, but I'm not sure. Has anyone done this and are there any pitfalls to watch out for? Is there a better way? I've thought about just rebuilding the server and restoring the databases from a backup on the new setup. Any suggestions on proper path would be appreciated. I'm running the current version of CentOS 5. Regards, Todd
