I saw this on the SuSE AMD64 list & decided to pass it along, since it seems like a sneaky problem. Later posts confirm it is *NOT* AMD64-specific, nor SuSE 9.3 specific .... -- William A.

Is this because the mirrors are busy? I did update to CentOS 4.2 yesterday but now...

...y, betwixt RHEL, err, I mean LNAELV version #'s and CentOS version #'s ? 2. Does CentOS plan to branch permanently away from LNAELV distribution, or periodically re-sync ? 3. How long have you been around, I have been looking for something like this for years now :-) ? -- William A.

...anyone onlist have any 1st-hand experience (good or bad) w/ DirectDial.com for procuring computer components ? Thanks in advance :-).

...t be that it is unsupported under CentOS 4.4 ? I also googled & searched the archives (manually) this A.M., but no say either way. Sooooooooo: what did I mess up so that CentOS 4.4 can't see the DVD drive that I used to install it :-) ? Thanks in advance for your time. -- William A.

...[wam at centos-5, ~, 9:40:54pm] 1135 % I checked man pages on both host & VM, but came up blank. I have another box running CentOS 5.6 native & it doesn't do this, so I suspect it is something w/ the VM environment. How do I disable that :-) ? Thanks in advance. -- William A.

Since this is National Kernel Day, I have a question. No, 2 questions: I'm running an Asus A7N8X Deluxe ver 2 m/b with an AMD processor: [root at mavis ~]# cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 6 model : 10 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2600+ stepping : 0 cpu MHz : 1912.933

I've got an odd problem. My server will not shutdown normally because the AoE driver is not being shut down properly. While investigating the problem, I found that the aoe script is apparently not being called for shutdown. I have been able to duplicate this with a brand new test script. My test script is just a simple file that echos back the start or stop command: #!/bin/bash #

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

Is there any way to either prioritize the VM to not get swapped out, or preferentially swapped back in :-) ? TIA for any pointers .... -- William A.

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

First of all, I just want to say *again* how happy I am with CentOS. Across our boxes and our clients boxes, we're running it on more than 20 machines at the moment and it's by far the most painless OS to administer in detail that I've ever used. (Of course, I'm an old Slak hat, but ...) Thanks so much to the community and the maintainers. We've recently run into a problem

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, I have: CentOS4.1 x86_64 directly-attached Infortrend 9TB array QLogic HBA seen as sdb GPT label created in parted I want one single 9TB ext3 partition. I am experiencing crazy behavior from mke2fs / mkfs.ext3 (tried both). If I create partitions in parted up to approx 4,100,000 MB in parted, mkfs.ext3 works great. It lists the right number of blocks and creates a filesystem that fills
