How to create a virtual machine? (Centos-5-beta-xen)
by Marcelo Maia Garcia 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

Hi, I am trying to create a virtual machine with FC6 inside a Centos 5 (beta) Xen host. I am following the documentation of Fedora[1]. I used the "virt-install" command, and every went fine until the moment to create the partitions on the virtual disk (file "/var/xen/fc6.iso" with 10GB). No matter with option I choose: remove all partitions, remove linux partitions, use free space, etc, does not work. The message is: "An error has occurred - no valid devices were found on wihich to create new filesystems. Please check your hardware for the cause of the problem." The documentation seems so straightforward! Any hint or comment will be welcomed. Cheers Marcelo [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC6

SiS 661FXon CentOS?????
by Manuel Enrique Chávez Manzano 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

I have a CentOs 5 beta running on a Desktop with a video card SiS 661FX, unfortunaly I can't run compixz on that card, and neither run any 3D aplications. My question is: How can I give 3D acelaration on that video card and Is there any way to run compixz. I've been looking on google about the driver for that card and I've found nothing. Any idea??.

Does LVM affect performance
by WipeOut 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

Hi, Pretty simple questions but probably not such a simple answer.. Does using LVM affect disk and system performnace? There must be some overhead involved (memory, cpu or disk IO) in using LVM but is that overhead measurable or is it insignificant?? Would be interesting to hear your thoughts or from anyone who has tested it.. Thanks..

by Jerry Geis 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

Hi all, I just installed the beta 5 with 2 disks for RAID. Under centos 4 I always had to issue manual grub commands to have the RAID array boot the first time. Just letting everyone know this is FINALLY fixed in beta 5. Patiently waiting for the final 5... :) (You guys are doing a fine job!) Have a great day all! Jerry

Dependency problem - libijs.so
by Chuck McParland 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

Not sure this one got through.....new to mail list. New to CentOS...very impressed with what I see so far. Have loaded trixbox/CentOS server successfully and am trying to retrofit X server and GNOME progs. Have run into same issue as discussed in this thread. Followed through to last message. But, lacking enough experience w/yum, didn't quite get the punch line. Is there a work around? Can I manually load it from some rpm and bypass this dependency? There's another thread on this issue; but it has taken a different tack and not been, as far as I can see, resolved.

2.6 memory management question
by tblader 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

Hello all. I have a centos 4.4 box (2.6.9-42.0.10.ELsmp) with 7gig of ram that doesn't seem to be using swap (also 7gig now). I say "seem" because I've noticed ram utilization run around 95% (with oracle and friends running) and then firing up a couple apps to use that last 5% will stop the machine dead in it's tracks. I ran across some reading[0] about /proc/sys/vm/swappiness and how it affects the kernels decisions when dealing with swap, but it's not all that clear to me whether this is the source of the problem. It seems like the kernel just isn't using swap at all. I've double checked my swap partition in fstab, ran mkswap again, double checked it's availability with vmstat -s but still it's just not getting used. Sunday, the box died around 3am and sar seems to show memory use on the rise right up till it hurled[1] (I just stuck another gig in the box monday, so sar only shows 6gig on sunday) Anyone know whats up with this? PS: swap is an LVM partition.

How should I create a repo on Centos 2.1?
by John Summerfield 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

I tracked down a createrepo rpm "for RHL 7.x, AS 2.1" etc (hosted by Dag), but it's uninstallable. Eventually I managed to create an rpm from the source (actually, that's fairly easy when onw knows to say "python2"), but python-urlgrabber has completely defeated me. According to Dag, the problem is that "upstream" doesn't see the need to support RHAS2.1/Centos2.1/RHL7.x amd such. While I can, if forced, solve the problem by a personal visit to the site or by creating a repo on the other side of the Internet, there should be a better general solution. What is it? -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa(a)coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa(a)coco.merseine.nu Please do not reply off-list

I mostly use kbs* (Karan's) and rpmforge (Dag's), which are fairly trustworthy. However, to avoid mistakes, I keep then disabled by default, and only enable as needed.
