I have a CentOS 5 machine with an external 500G USB disk, formatted with JFS. How do I get this to mount automatically at boot time? If I add to /etc/fstab: /dev/sdb1 /var/video jfs defaults 1 2 fsck.jfs complains at boot time: Error: Cannot open device /dev/sdb1 Usage: fsck.jfs ... ... Give root password for maintenance ...

I'm trying to set up my Centos 5.1 box at home to run mythtv. The DVB-T card requires saa7134 and saa7134_dvb. These are not in the Centos kernels. Centosplus has saa7134, but not saa7134_dvb. Do I have to compile the kernel myself, or is there a trick? Mogens -- Mogens Kjaer, Carlsberg A/S, Computer Department Gamle Carlsberg Vej 10, DK-2500 Valby, Denmark Phone: +45 33 27 53 25, Fax:

Kickstart fails for statically built custom booting kernel, although the custom kernel is built form the same version stock kernel source. My anaconda and kernel source are both of stock versions on Centos 5. At the kickstart 'F3' screen, the following error messages appear: Modules to insert tg3 ... ...

My local centos mirror (ftp.crc.dk) failed to boot after having upgraded from centos 5.0 to 5.1 (i386). It just displays GRUB The cursor is positioned to the right of a space after GRUB, and no input is accepted. I've tried booting in rescue mode and run: chroot /mnt/sysimage grub-install /dev/cciss/c0d0 This completes without errors, but still it can't boot. It's a HP/Compaq

Yesterday, I've moved all my samba users from a redhat 9 (i386) system to a Centos 5 (x86_64) system. This runs samba-3.0.25-7. The system uses NIS authentication, no shadow files. Now all my Windows users have accounts that expire today! Strangely, if I do a: # pdbedit -L -v mk I get: Password last set: Tue, 18 May 2004 15:04:30 CEST Password can change: Tue, 18 May 2004 15:04:30

Hi all, when I do a "grep JERRY *.h" nothing is returned which is what I expect. This is in my source directory... when I do a "grep JERRY *" every file is returned an a line printed even though there is no JERRY on the line. Then if I do a "grep JERRY *.c" just the 4 lines that have JERRY are returned. This is what is prints for "grep JERRY *" src#

Dear All Has any one had any success with getting a Linux box to register with a DNS server hosted on a Windows 2k3 server? This process takes place automatically on the Windows boxes but not at all on the Linux boxes. We run our Intranet/Web servers on Linux but the whole of the rest of our network is run on Windows. In the past we have used SAMBA to maintain WINS entries but would now like

Dear Sir, Recently I've upgraded our Samba installation. After then I find that all WinXP workstations cannot logon to the server. The official HOWTO mentioned this problem and suggested resetting the SID using "net setlocalsid ....". But this does not help in my case. The SID of our server has not been changed. So I've to go to every workstation for rejoin the domain. This

Hi knowledgeable samba users, I had to upgrade from samba 2.2.0 on a suse linux server (7.2). Server died after two 2+ years of loyal services - otherwise I would not have changed... Now I have a samba 3.0.9-2.6 on suse 9.1. I can access the files only r-x, i.e. all files appear as read only. Trying to trouble shoot I have: - chmod-ed all the files of all the shares to 777 - in swat put the

When doing software RAID-1 installs on reboot (just after install) I ALWAYS get RAID device is not clear - preforming reconstruction. Why is this? If I just installed the array should be in sync shouldnt it? And clean? Not that this is a big deal - it just seems odd. It does reconstruction and life goes on. Is something special at install time that we are only installing on one disk of the

Hi everyone...I'm at a dead stop setting up Samba, so let me jump right into the problem: First, the setup: I have a RH7.3 box and a W98 laptop. The RH box also has a W2k Pro partition. We have them on a 4-port 10base-T hub along with our RoadRunner cable modem. Now on to the problem: As most of you are already aware, RR uses DHCP to assign IP addresses to client machines at boot time.

Since neither anaconda nor system-config-kickstart can give a list of all packages that has been installed, waht is the recommended way to replicate one system for another new installation (without using hd cloning) ? Is it possible to simply do 'rpm -qa >> my-ks.cfg' ? When running anaconda installer, it gives system selection as well as package grouping (desktop vs server ->

Hi all, I have a centos 5 box I have setup, current with updates. (I have done this many times on centos 4). I did the yum install tftp-server, changed the /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file as shown. # default: off # description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer \ # protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \ # workstations, download

I normally use http install to access my /centos/ver/os/i386 repo. Is there someway to get the install to include the updates in /centos/ver/updates? It seems such a waste to install rpms that you know are already fixed....

Hello, I am running a fileserver with smbd here. The server is a 64bit 2.8 GHz Celeron D with 2GB RAM, running 64bit Debian, Samba version 3.0.23c. It is running as a pure fileserver so its only CPU load is serving files. The client I am doing the tests from is WinXP Pro SP2. It is connected via Intel e1000 gbit ethernet (both the server and client use e1000 chipsets). I have done a raw tcp

Scenario: Centos 5 x86_64 machine with samba-3.0.23c-2.el5.2.0.2 The machine is a PDC, Windows 2000 users logon, get profiles, etc. I'm trying to set up a folder in apache that uses NTLM authentication using mod_auth_ntlm_winbind. I've followed: http://adldap.sourceforge.net/mod_auth_ntlm_winbind.php winbindd is running, and ntlm_auth seems to work: # ntlm_auth --username=pdc2

I have a task to set this up, but don't have access to it until I finally I am needed to do it. If anyone is familiar with this server, do you know if the motherboard based raid is software based (I can't find any real pointer at hp's site)? If so, I suppose it would be better to install CentOS and setup raid inside of Linux. Given that I have never used anything but hardware raid,
