Hi *, as this is my first post I want to say hello to everybody. Well, and unfortunatly I''ve already got a question for you: I''ve installed a guest domain (OS: CentOS 4) on my xen-machine and it''s para-virtualised (just to provide the information ;) ). After the installation and mount the image containing the guest to copy the necessary modules for the xen-kernel,

It seems I can't smarm monitor disks on RAID controllers? I tried on several machines with two different controllers and on all I get this when starting up smartd: Jul 27 14:36:43 c1 smartd[5944]: Opened configuration file /etc/smartd.conf Jul 27 14:36:43 c1 smartd[5944]: Configuration file /etc/smartd.conf parsed.

Hello Everyone, I was wondering does anyone know how I can slim down Centos install, what I mean by slim down is whenever I install Centos with nothing but xen. I have all type stuff that is not needed like bluetooth and etc. This is a server, so I know that bluetooth is not need but I don't have any other menus to remove software when install from cd. So what would be the best way to slim

I'm upgrading my primary server from RH 7.2 to CentOS-4.3.ServerCD. I REALLY like the ServerCD. Who needs all the fluff that comes with a standard distro? If I want a system-config-gooey I can run Xnest [1] and ssh -X from my laptop. Anyway I have two questions: 1) How can I collectively stop all the NFS, portmap, whatever? I'm hoping it can be manipulated as a group because occationally

I don''t know what is happening, but every 36 hours or so I''ll go to ssh into my server and find that I can''t connect on any of the outside services. I then can connect into the box using a serial connection and find that shorewall reports that it is not running and the iptables are in some kind of default state which looks nothing like what I set it up with shorewall

I shut the server down last evening due to power surges and when I tried to bring it back up, it stops at starting sendmail. Is there a way around this? Todd -- Ariste Software 2200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

Hi, I haven't tried the code yet. Is there a way to parse this data using R and create bar plots so that each program's 'RAM used' figures are grouped together. So 'uuidd' bars will be together. The data will have about 50 sets. So if there are 100 processes each will have about 50 bars. What is the recommended way to graph these big barplots ? I am looking

Hi, today I updated the glibc packages on some CentOS machines. After the Update I checked which services/processes I have to restart "yum -C ps" or "needs-restarting" At the most machines I get no information about necessary restarts, but at two machines a long listing : 1 : /sbin/init 386 : /sbin/udevd-d 659 : /sbin/udevd-d 999 : /usr/sbin/vmtoolsd 1103 : auditd 1128 :

Hi All, I don't know enough about when errors are *really* errors. So I google a lot to read and learn. I have a few things in my Logwatch that I want to make sure I understand 1. smartd **Unmatched Entries** Problem creating device name scan list Device /dev/sda: using '-d sat' for ATA disk behind SAT layer. Device /dev/sdb: using '-d sat' for ATA disk behind SAT layer.

System requirements for CentOS 5 minimal installation (console and ssh) are....128 MB ram, 256...? I can't find this information in rhel5 installation manual.

I upgraded my Centos 4.7 server last night. Switched from a cheaper 50$ asus motherboard to a Supermicro motherboard. I also, using dd, copied entire 500g SATA seagate drive to new 500g SATA seagate drive so as to have two copies in case something went wrong. Anyway, now I keep getting this error: Nov 21 06:08:33 server kernel: hda: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } Nov 21 06:08:33 server

Alle, I'm running V5.3 (newly installed) on an FJ E8020 laptop. The problem I have is when shutting down (*not* rebooting). NetworkManager fails to stop and after (during?) the postfix shutdown, the system seems to hang. I cannot access via another screen or remotely. I can't find any clues in the log files. I could use some suggestions on troubleshooting. Here are the active

This morning between 07:10 or so and 08:10 I discovered that my PC had shut itself off. I thought it was due to a power failure becuase I never turn it off without a good reason, and it had been running (and playing sounds) until it wasn't. My roommate/landlord tells me that the only anomaly he observed was that our router had lost its internet connection (via a cable modem, which was still

I'm running a CentOS 4.4 VM on a Windows XP host with VMware Server, and have the problem that my clock runs too slow (it happens in VMware Workstation as well). It loses between 30 and 45 seconds every minute! This is a known problem and can be fixed by adding "nosmp noapic nolapic" to the boot command according to VMware tech note ID 1420. However, despite adding these

I have a 2GIG swap and I did a chkconfig XXX off on a few things like xfs, nfs, httpd, kudzu. My old 2.4 kernel used to run in 4M with a swap... I had recompiled the kernel (took a while) to enable the cyclades module. Any
