Saving network configuration
by Mezei Zoltán 10 Sep '07

10 Sep '07

Hi, Is there a tool in centos which can save the actual network configuration somehow? Preferably to the network-scripts directory. I'd like to have it configured the Centos-way but it seems a bit puzzling to set up multiple routing tables... Zizi

Is the new kmod-drbd is install automatically (like > kernels are) ? With the precedent package you'll had to install the new > one manually if you didn't want to get stuck with a new fresh default > kernel without any drbd support ^^ A centosplus kernel update (2.6.9-55.0.6) came out. Because the kernel and kmod-drbd were pushed out at the same time, there was no need to hold the kernel update until kmod-drbd becomes available. However, yum update failed . Turns out kmod-drbd needed to be excluded from the extras repo. This was because centosplus is given a lower priority than extras and yum tried to pull kmod-drbd (for the standard kernel) from the extra repo. So, the answer to the situation above (which is the case with my test machine) is that you need to exclude kmod-drbd from extra and that as far as kernel and kmod-drbd come out together, installation is done all automatic.

Centos5 Webcam/Video input/output
by Stewart Walker 09 Sep '07

09 Sep '07

We have been exploring the possibilities using Centos5 for video. Video and Audio Streaming sounds like great fun. Subject is pretty new to us here and well there was nothing else to do but take the dive. After much time beating our heads against the wall and covering the planet google'ing and hitting the books trying to get a webcam to work. I am wondering if it wouldn't be better just to head back to the windows platform.. What a mess this has become on the open source platform. Grant it could be hardware (ok maybe its me and the kernel not agreeing) as this is just a development system that appears to have kernel compatible hardware. Does anyone out there have any encouraging words, howto docs or knowledge of commercial applications/support that are known to work for Centos5? Much thanks in advance.

LVM problem
by Kuang-Chun Cheng 09 Sep '07

09 Sep '07

Hi, I have CentOS 5.0 which use an old hard disk. And recently I found there are some bad sector on it ... I try to backup my data to other CentOS 5.0 box .... What I did is. I remove the old HD (with bad sector) and install it as a slave IDE on a working CentOS 5.0 ... I try to mount the old HD as /mnt/oldDisk but since it's a LVM, the "mount -t ext3" doesn't work. I'm new to LVM ... could someone help me on this. Also, there is a problem I found. Both HD have the same VG called /dev/VolGroup00 ... server:[root]/dev> pvscan PV /dev/hdb2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [76.22 GB / 0 free] PV /dev/hda2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [76.22 GB / 0 free] Total: 2 [152.44 GB] / in use: 2 [152.44 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ] where the /dev/hdb2 is the old one with bad sector ... and it's unmounted. The /dev/hda2 is the root filesystem of the working CentOS 5.0 Regards KC

I can't imagine why not. It would seem to be more stable and have a longer life, etc. I would prefer they use CentOS, but, my web sites are on shared hosting.
