3 new CentOS sponsors
by Johnny Hughes 22 Apr '06

22 Apr '06

I would like to take the time to announce 3 new CentOS sponsors. Each of these 3 providers have donated a dedicated server and bandwidth to the CentOS project within the last couple days: Hostasaurus Web Hosting: http://www.hostasaurus.com/ CrystalTech Web Hosting: http://www.crystaltech.com/ Superb Internet Corporation http://www.superb.net/ I can highly recommend all of the above 3 groups as I have worked closely with all 3 over the last couple days (and they were giving me a server, I'm sure they are even more responsive to paying customers :). If you are considering a dedicated server or just need a web host, all 3 of these providers, or another of the CentOS sponsors listed below should be your first choice: http://www.centos.org/mirrors Without the donations of these sponsors, CentOS would not be able to distribute our software. The CentOS project is grateful to each and every one of them. Thanks, Johnny Hughes CentOS-4 Lead Developer

WOW
by Chris Peikert 22 Apr '06

22 Apr '06

I couldn't help but take notice at some of the responses that were coming in from when I was posting questions due to my ignorance of Linux. Some people were quick to help, some advanced users I am sure ignored me because im not worth their time, and then some other users tried to help but was unable to dumb their speech down to newb levels. However I am thankful that there is people here to help out. I am hoping someone with CentOS will take notice at my difficulty in finding the bloody manuals and will put a link for future newbs that says "Download Manuals Here". I also hope in the future if I have questions I will be able to get the answers I seek and those who helped me before will be able to help me again. Thanks

Backup FAQ: PLEEZE include in FAQ?
by William L. Maltby 22 Apr '06

22 Apr '06

I know there are a million ways to skin a cat, but we must have 1,000,001 discussed in the archives already. I guess folks don't know about "search". So, I'm hoping that the pending FAQ might have mention of one or more of the *excellent* threads resident in the archives regarding backup? And just so this post is not a total waste, I'll mention that cpio can be your friend if you worry about device nodes, etc. It has many features, is well respected, is "mature", ... However it is not a backup *system*, but a good all-around tool for "roll your own" folks who aren't happy with rsynch for whatever reason. It supports tar formats, has check summing, ... Now, please. Anyone with backup Q's, check the archives first, get a preliminary feel for which way you lean and then query the list for *new* insights, opinions, recommendations, etc. after you spew a few words about the feelings you got during investigations. No offense intended and if you take any, you get to keep it. TIA -- Bill

backing up my system with dump
by israel.garcia＠cimex.com.cu 21 Apr '06

21 Apr '06

I'm running CentOS 4.3 on Intel. I don't have any tape device on my system for backup, but I have an entire disk (/dev/sdb) for backup ... my question is: How can I backup ALL my filesystems to some place of my backup hdd (dev/sdb) using dump/restore? I don't want to use tar. Regards Israel

Permission denied using mount.cifs
by Steve Bergman 21 Apr '06

21 Apr '06

I'm having a strange problem mounting a share from a Windows 2003 server using cifs: mount.cifs //osirus.ficticious.org/inetpub /inetpub -ouser=transfer,pass=dkfhjdjskd It comes back immediately with: mount error 13 = Permission denied Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) However, the command below works. (abeit with about a 15 second wait before it comes back): mount.smbfs //osirus.ficticious.org/inetpub /inetpub -ousername=transfer,password=dkfhjdjskd Info from smbclient -L: OS=[Windows Server 2003 3790 Service Pack 1] Server=[Windows Server 2003 5.2] Anyone else familiar with this problem? Thanks, Steve
