Having snapshot technology is great. Who else supports it? Thanks. Scott

Yes, I know it is old, but I'm looking for a copy of CentOS 3.5 - CDs or DVD for i386. I can only find 3.8. Thanks for any leads. Scott

I have a client with a handful of USB drives connected to a CentOS box. I am charged with binding the USB drives together into a single LVM for a cheap storage data pool (10 x 1 TB usb drives = 10 TB cheap storage in a single mount point). The next fun piece is how to incorporate that storage space into an existing Active Directory structure to apply AD acls for limited access. I'd rather

On an ext3 filesystem, what would cause the system to claim it is out of disk space for a program writing information to disk, when df -h shows ample GB available and the file is being written to local disk rather than an nfs-mounted filesystem? I believe the hard drive is good. Ideas welcome. Thanks. Scott

I recently installed Icecast2 on my XP Home Laptop. My goal is to get the audio from my vhf/uhf scanner, whose audio out is connected to the laptop's mic port, out as a stream so I can listen to it when away from home (like from work). I can hear the scanner fine through the laptop's speakers, but although I've read the documentation for the Icecast2 server configuration, I'm

I have a 10 blade cluster of just hardware - I can install what I want, how I want. ? What options are there if I wanted to build the 10 blades as one large beast, but _NOT_ necessarily for someone doing grid-type work? ? ?Some users don't now how to program that way, but they'd like to have their program run on something that acts like a single processor, but a massive single processor

I'm trying to install the latest version of putty GUI ssh client on my C5 box, but get the error: ./configure: line 2353: syntax error near unexpected token '1.2.0,' ./configure: "AM_PATH_GTK(1.2.0, all_targets="all-cli all-gtk", all_targets="all-cli)' What am I missing? I thought I had GTK fully installed. Maybe I don't? I tried a yum install

I just performed a fresh install of 64-bit Centos 5 on a system, booted fine, then performed a yum update, or at least tried to. Files downloaded, and were about to install, when it complained that the gpg keys could not be found. I ran into this about a month ago and found a web page showing the path locally to where the keys live, and providing rpm --import /to/the/path. But of course now

I have a Centos 5 64-bit server that has ntp service enabled. Windows XP with SP2 cannot properly sync to it for time, but can communicate with it via samba, ssh, and anything else. I also disabled the Windows Firewall. The C5 system does not have any firewall enabled. Other C5 workstations can successfully sync to it via ntpdate. What else could cause the XP machine to not be able to

I want to configure samba to produce a common area (i.e. /home/shared) as an assigned drive letter to all users. Thus, in addition to users logging into the domain and having an H: drive for their personal account, they will also get an S: drive (for example) for a common area. How do I configure this in smb.conf? Thanks. Scott

I received some interesting answers to my cron question. Most people said it was not possible. One person reviewed cron's source code and said the source would need to be modified. One person said I should mount the filesystem with noexec. I'll review and test the answers as best I can. To answer several people's curiosities of why I keep pushing - when I'm tasked with a

Granted this is not a UNIX system, but in case there is a UNIX tool to accomplish the goal... I am looking for a bootable CD/DVD (or application to be placed on a CD/DVD to be made bootable) that can let me mount a Windows XP drive/partition (SP1 or SP2), and force-crack the admin password (even if admin account name has been changed, but I know what it has been changed to). The application

I've got a Dell Precision Workstation 490 with 64-bit Centos 5, fully updated, with an on-board Broadcom 57xx gigabit Ethernet controller, updated BIOS, 1 GB switch, and /var/log/messages and dmesg both claim the link is 100 Mb, not 1 GB. I tried setting eth0 to mtu 9000 but got an error in going so. What do I need to do to have the card see 1 gb? Thanks. Scott

Is there a detailed history/diff of what 5.1 adds/removes/changes from 5.0, and the same for 5.2 from 5.1 and 5.0? I checked around the centos.org but couldn't obviously find this. Thanks. Scott

Is it possible for me to schedule cron to say run script A on the first Friday of the month, script B on the second Friday of the month, script C, etc.? Thanks. Scott

Every case is different, but yes, as I said - I would like to take a closer look at the problem again, it might be the case that we don't need this complexity in this particular case, but want to double check. But yeah, in general I agree with you! On Thu, May 9, 2019 at 6:09 PM Jake Ehrlich <jakehehrlich at google.com> wrote: > I think that pretty much hits the nail on the head.

What is the recommended way to ssh through a proxy? I've been using putty, compiled from source, as it has a proxy option, but a native option would be very nice. Thanks. Scott

I just installed CentOS 4.4 on my laptop, having good experience with Debian, Fedora Core 5, and RHEL4. I really like 4.4's overall appearance (meshing of RHEL4 and FC5), but what I have yet to figure out is how to access repositories for applications that are not part of the default install, such as ncftp. I invoked and updated yum, but it had no idea. I would also like to see what

smartctl, hdparm, and sdparm all are valuable tools to obtain hard drive info. But, they don't seem to work, at least, on obtaining hard drive info from drives on a Dell PERC controller. Instead, I'm given basic PERC controller info, not drive info. Is there a tool to let me get the hard drive make/model/serial numbers from a hardware RAID setup? Thanks. Scott
