similar to: Three Identical systems - short cut to setting up the drives?

I have successfully created bootable USB flash drives containing the following bootable products: 1) Clonezilla (recent version) 2) Ultimate Boot CD (recent version) 3) OpenELEC (recent version) All of these apparently use SYSLINUX as part of the boot process. All three boot up just fine and with no problems at all on virtually all of the various systems that I have here at my

I am having an extremely strange issue with a BL460c1 (G1) blade on a c7000 enclosure. I could not for the life of me get the machine to ping the gateway or any other blade on the same enclosure (yes, the subnet mask was correct & quadruple-checked); although pinging to the local IP works. I was almost convinced that it was a network or hardware issue; until I asked someone to try

Hi, my oi151 based home NAS is approaching a frightening "drive space" level. Right now the data volume is a 4*1TB Raid-Z1, 3 1/2" local disks individually connected to an 8 port LSI 6Gbit controller. So I can either exchange the disks one by one with autoexpand, use 2-4 TB disks and be happy. This was my original approach. However I am totally unclear about the 512b vs 4Kb issue.

Hi, I'm running a small Linux consulting business here in a group of small villages in the South of France (http://www.microlinux.fr). I'm using CentOS for everything, servers as well as desktops. The desktop installs are usually highly customized. My approach is to list the client's needs, find the corresponding applications and then install these, to avoid the bloat and

Happy Friday, List! I''m spec''ing out a Thumper-esque solution and having trouble finding my favorite Hitachi Ultrastar 2TB drives at a reasonable post-flood price. The Seagate Constellations seem pretty reasonable given the market circumstances but I don''t have any experience with them. Anybody using these in their ZFS systems and have you had good luck? Also, if

Can anybody recommend a reseller in Europe (Netherlands) for modules for the X100P (FXO and FXS modules)? Cost, support are important. Also, what is a reasonable price for an X100P in Europe? Is there a difference in price between OEM and Boxed versions? Thanks, Pieter

Hi all, I'm looking for a cloning solution for our Windows/Linux/*nix computer park and ran into Clonezilla. Apparantely the DRBL and other documentation mentions CentOS as a suitable base for it. Does anybody on this list use this solution and can say something about it in the running-Clonezilla-with-CentOS-context, be it recommendations, gotchas', warnings or whatever? Thanks. -- BW,

Hi, I am currently using isolinux (syslinux-6.03) in a clonezilla setup. It boots fine, however I want to have a setup where the default boot selection alternates every boot. * First boot : Default is menu item 0 * Second boot : Default is menu item 1 * Third boot : Default is menu item 0 ... The idea is that when it is booted into clonezilla the clonezilla script checks if the system needs to

Recently a production "stable" samba server started producing this: samba-log.cpr8r: oplock_break failed for file Share1/Files/Financial/Comms.xls (dev = b, inode = 151073815, file_id = 31). samba-log.cpr8r: oplock_break failed for file Share1/Files/Financial/Futures.xls (dev = b, inode = 411546895, file_id = 31). samba-log.cpr8r: oplock_break failed for file

I have a large disk full of data that I'd like to upgrade to SW RAID 1 with a minimum of downtime. Taking it offline for a day or more to rsync all the files over is a non-starter. Since I've mounted SW RAID1 drives directly with "mount -t ext3 /dev/sdX" it would seem possible to flip the process around, perhaps change the partition type with fdisk or parted, and remount as

In the past I have used clonzilla under xen to backup windows domains. I just tried it and it will not work. this is xen 4.1.2 and clonzilla-live 1.2.10-14 the disk line is: disk = [ ''phy:/dev/xvg0/nfdlts-c,hda,w'', ''file:/extra/isoimages/clonzilla.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'' ] It boots cd OK. The problem is devices are xvda not hda and clonzilla is not happy with

Hi, I just found myself having to set up a new CentOS 6 system with a nearly identical configuration to an existing host, so I thought I would just 1. Do a minimal install to set up partitions etc. on the new system. 2. Create an image of the existing system using Clonezilla (http://www.clonezilla.org) 3. Run a Clonezilla restore on the new system. - as I though it would be a lot

Hi, I wanted to set up Clonezilla Tools on my client machine via PXE Boot. How do I do it. I got information from the web, but after making changes in the dhcpd.conf file, the dhcpd fails to start. In the BIOS after enabling the PXE Boot, iam not able to see an Clonezilla menu options that i have placed in /pxelinux.cfg file. Iam using centos-5.3 on Intel Board Please provide me with some
