Greetings - Ok, I made a mistake that I need to fix. Fortunately it is not a destructive mistake, but I need some advice on how to correct the problem. CentOS 6.3 host system named Earth I was creating some new logical volumes within my exiting volume group for a new virtual machine using the LVM GUI. When I created the LV that I plan to use for root partition of the new VM (Bacteria) I

Greetings - I am trying to install CentOS 7 into a new Dell Precision 3610. I have two 3 TB drives that I want to setup in software RAID1. I followed the guide here for my install as it looked fairly detailed and complete (http://www.ictdude.com/howto/install-centos-7-software-raid-lvm/). I only changed the size of the partitions from what is described, but ended up with the disk

Greetings - I shutdown one of my Centos 6.2 VMs for some offline maintenance and am now unable to get it to restart. I am also unable to create and start a new VM. The host system is Centos 6.2, fully up to date. I have been searching Google for two days and have not been successful in getting a VM to start. I have restarted libvirtd, but did not want to shutdown my other two running VMs and

Greetings - I am preparing to order a new desktop system for work. In general the new system will be a Dell Precision T3610 with two 3 TB drives. I plan on installing CentOS 7 as a KVM host, with virtual machines for Win 7 Pro and Linux Mint. I am looking for some advice or a good how-to on configuring software raid on the two drives, then using LVM for the host and virtual machines. I

Greetings - In my logwatch report this morning I noticed reference to an attempt to connect to rsync from an external IP address. It doesn't appear that the connection was successful based on correlating information between /var/log/secure and /var/log/messages. But I am looking for some suggestions for implementing more preventative measures, if necessary. The log information from

Greetings - I have not been a long time follower of this list, but I have scanned through the last year or so of archives, after not finding much from google searches. I am hoping someone here can inform me if what I want to do is feasible, and give me some general guidance to follow so that I can continue my research and complete this task. I admin a RH3 system that is primarily a Samba

Greetings - I have stepped through the first guest OS installation (a testing VM) on my new server and have a technical question that I hope someone might be able to help me with. I have exhausted my google search ability and have not been able to find the details I am looking for. In general the question I am trying to answer is how to select and use multiple raw logical volumes when

Greetings - This may be a little off-topic here so if someone wants to point me to a more appropriate mailing list I would appreciate it. I administer the network for my small company and am preparing to install a new server in the next month or so. It will be running CentOS 6 and function primarily as a Samba file server to 10 Windows workstations (XP, Vista, 7). It will also host our

Greetings - The short story is that got my new install completed with the partitioning I wanted and using software raid, but after a reboot I ended up with a grub prompt, and do not appear to have a grub.cfg file. So here is a little history of how I got here, because I know in order for anyone to help me they would subsequently ask for this information. So this post is a little long, but

Greetings - I have a Centos 6 box fully updated that intermittently sends me an "[abrt] full crash report" email. I am not familiar with these at all and in my limited google search have not found good information to interpret this information. The most recent (and the most frequent one) is listed below, also I have listed the lines from /var/log/messages that correspond to

Greetings - I saw Andrew Holway's post yesterday referencing using PCI passthrough as a solution to someone else's issue. Not being familiar with it, the post made me look into it more to see if it is something to use for my setup. From my research on the web, I have two questions to make sure I understand how PCI passthrough works. 1. If you use PCI passthrough on a graphics card

Greetings - My objective is to get a full Gnome GUI console display to show in an Xming window on my Win7 box. I do a similar thing with my Raspberry Pi so that it operates headless with just the power and network cord attached. My CentOS 6 box and the Win7 box are on the same network within my office LAN behind a good firewall. For various reasons that I won't go into I am unable to

Greetings - There is probably a simple answer to this, but I can't seem to figure it out. I would like to have a clean log file of each rsync operation; in other words I don't want to have rsync append to the existing log file, but instead create a new one each time after deleting the old one. My situation is this; I run rsync from a shell script on my Linux server which backs up

Greetings - In general terms I would like to prevent users from deleting or moving a primary directory within a share, but allow users to create / delete / move subdirectories and files that reside under these directories. My reason for needing this type of setup is to prevent an accidental deletion of a common directory and to maintain a planned directory structure at the top level of the

Greetings - Ok, I have my CentOS 7 KVM host system installed and I want to be able to boot the system from either installed drive if one of them fails. My objective is to have the following layout for the two 3 TB disks. sda1 /boot/efi sda2 /boot sda3 RAID1 with sdb3 sdb1 /boot/efi sdb2 /boot sdb3 RAID1 with sda3 The system is installed and boots from sda[1,2] and md127 (sda3 and
