I just installed CentOS 4.4 yesterday P.M., on my 2.4 GHz P4 box, Foxconn i865 mbd, 2 GB DDR400 RAM (4 X 512 MB), 1 X 20 GB HDD (hda), 1 X 160 GB HDD (hdb), 1 X LG GSA H22N DVD reader/burner (hdc), 1 X 400 GB HDD (hdd), Coolmax CP500-T PSU. I wiped SuSE 9.2 off of the 20 GB drive & installed CentOS. The other 2 drives were already ext3 FS & will be mounted as /home & /work

On C6 (latest) I wanted to add an extra partition, number 14, to a 1TB GPT disk. It failed repeatedly.

I'm a Libvirt newbie and I'd really appreciate it if someone could answer my doubts. I'm using Libvirt's Java API. My doubts: 1.Currently, I'm able to create a VM on Ubuntu 11.04 using Libvirt functions domainCreateLinux() and domainDefineXML(). Apart fromt the boolean return status of these operations and running the virsh list command, is there any way to SSH in (login) to

Hello, I am using virt-install to install CentOS6 guests on a CentOS6 KVM remote host. Everything works fine except that at the end of the installation, the guest stops instead of rebooting, which I thought, should be the default behaviour. The command I use is : [root at myorchestrator]# /usr/local/bin/virt-install --connect qemu+ssh://root at mydom0/system --name myclient --accelerate

Hi, When I perform a software RAID 1 or RAID 5 installation on a LAN server with several hard disks, I wonder if GRUB already gets installed on each individual MBR, or if I have to do that manually. On CentOS 5.x and 6.x, this had to be done like this: # grub grub> device (hd0) /dev/sda grub> device (hd1) /dev/sdb grub> root (hd0,0) grub> setup (hd0) grub> root (hd1,0) grub>

Hello List, Today someone in a meeting claimed the Bourne shell is deprecated, one of the reasons being it supposedly has security issues. Well that's all news to me, and I cannot find anything online to corroborate the claim. Is this true, is it a bash vs. Bourne FUD, or something else? Thanks, Jack

.... I have a CentOS 5.n VM running on a Fedora 14 server/host, installed using virt-manager, pretty plain vanilla. I use it to compile binaries to run under RHEL/CentOS 5.n OS. I occasionally notice that when the VM gets paged out by the server, it takes several minutes to get it back in :-/ (see below).

The man pages are
