CentOS Community, I was wondering if anyone had a good resource or procedure for a step by step in installing a mail server with Centos. There ARE documents on google, however almost all that i've found were outdated from 2005. Does anyone know where I can find this type of document for a mailserver Postfix + MySQL + SpamAssassin + ClamAV + Squirrelmail + Postfixadmin, etc?

CentOS Community, What commands can I use to check the disk health of the system when LVM2 is being used on top of a RAID 10 using a HARDWARE 3ware raid card. The OS sees a hardware raid usually as one big drive. Is there a way to check the disks individually to see if any are failing, or throwing hard or scsi transport errors?

CentOS Community, It is to my understanding that the /boot partition should never be placed on LVM and should be a physical partition on the hard drives (or on top of a RAID array). Is this an accurate statement? Also please advise if the SWAP filesystem is safe to be placed under LVM, or if this should be a hard partition / hard limit as well. I am unsure if boot issues or any filesystem issues

CentOS Community, I have a dedicated server with 4 hard drives in a RAID 10 software configuration running LVM. My OS is CentOS 6.2. Earlier today, I rebooted my system and my system did not come back online. I opened a ticket with my datacenter who informed me that one of my hard drives is no longer recognized by the bios and has failed. I was told that an OS reinstall was needed. I

Please help! 3) Is EXT4 better or worse to use then XFS for what I am planning to use the system for? Thanks in advance for all your help guys Kind Regards, Jonathan Vomacka

I know this was discussed before, and I have seen a million ways of doing this via online docs. I have a quick question that hopefully the community can help me out with I am trying to add a block of 10 IP addresses. Rather then create 10 different alias files, I want to use the RANGE file. Docs say to use the following format: IPADDR_START=x.x.x.x IPADDR_END=x.x.x.x CLONENUM_START=0 If the

Good morning all, I currently have a website that was written in ASP back in 1999. The system is currently running Windows 2003 Server with MsSQL. Before everyone flames me for being in the wrong place, I was wondering if there is a way to allow centos to run old ASP code? I know years ago this wasn't possible without a program like ChiliASP, but noow I heard rumor that apache might have

Good day, I was wondering if there was a way to change the hostname for each individual IP address allocated to a system. For example if only one NIC card is being used (single port) and the hostname of the machine is "example.example.org", this hostname is being displayed for all applications no matter what IP I set the application to BIND to. My server has multiple IP addresses

Good afternoon Gentlemen, I have a question regarding /etc/hosts for CentOS 6 x64. I already have a hostname set on my server, however there are 10 additional IP aliases assigned to the box, one which I plan to use as a mail server. The mail server will be serving mail for a completely different domain (different then the default hostname of my box). My question is this: If I take one of my

Gentlemen, I have a question regarding yum groupinstall vs just using yum install. I have been reading tutorials online (for example how to run a Centos LAMP). Most of the tutorials have examples to install httpd, mysql, etc using yum install httpd.... The reason for this e-mail is that I noticed in yum grouplist that there is an option to install Web Server, MySQL database server, etc.

I am inquiring about how to setup a proper SPF record. I know there are SPF wizards/generators available but each seem to have a different "opinion" of what should be included and what should not be included. Let me give you a scenario of my setup, and hopefully someone can help me out. My domain is: test.com My mailserver hostname is: mail.host.com which also has a MATCHING PTR

Guys, Is there a difference between CentOS 6.0 and centos 6 on the mirror list? Each mirror seems to have a folder for 6.0 and 6 separately. http://mirrors.lga7.us.voxel.net/centos/

I know this is a bit off topic from CentOS itself, but are there any DNS experts that would be able to e-mail me on the side and assist with some questions I have regarding TXT/SPF records? I want to ensure my mail doesn't bounce.

CentOS Community, Do you know how I can go about enabling system dumps and/or kernel core dumps. I want to be able to have the system dump a core during a panic, or crash.

CentOS Community, Is there a command to boot into a different version of the kernel? I believe this is setup via grub.conf but unsure. There are a few different kernels loaded into /boot but I want to see if there is a command to boot into a different kernel as a single instance or permanent if needed. Please advise [root at titanium boot]# ls -ltr total 62768 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root

CentOS Community, Would someone who is familiar with reading boot messages and kernel errors be able to assist with advising me on what the following errors might mean in dmesg. It seems to come up randomly towards the end of the logfile. ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mtrr/generic.c:467 generic_get_mtrr+0x11e/0x140() (Not tainted) Hardware name: empty

CentOS Community, Which RAID levels are supported with a software RAID during the CentOS install? I currently have 4 drives in the system, and am looking to have performance and mirror (like RAID 0+1 or RAID 1+0). Are these raid levels supported?
