Not a centos specific question here, but if anyone can save me from shooting myself in the foot would appreciate any pointers.... I have an older centos 4.7 box that I recently replaced with a newer one running centos 5.3. I'd like to add the hard disk from the older one to the newer one before I scrap it for good. I don't care about the data on it, would just like the extra drive

Hi, I have CentOS 5.0 which use an old hard disk. And recently I found there are some bad sector on it ... I try to backup my data to other CentOS 5.0 box .... What I did is. I remove the old HD (with bad sector) and install it as a slave IDE on a working CentOS 5.0 ... I try to mount the old HD as /mnt/oldDisk but since it's a LVM, the "mount -t ext3" doesn't work. I'm

Hi. I'm currently trying to configure a kickstart script to do auto installs. We split up the partitions so that we have control on the mount security like setting no execute on the tmp portions etc . I keep hitting the same error : "Could not stat /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol_root --- No Such file or directory The device apparently does not exist; did you specify is correctly " Even

Hello Gentlemen, I would like to ask a question about an issue I have with the Centos 6.3 installation. I have installed a Centos 6.3 on a server we used before with 5.4 on Friday. I have created a KS file to let me connect to the server via VNC and have all repos and packages preconfigured. I only needed to partition the hard drive using VNC. During the partition process I selected which

I fought with this for a day, and now am crying for help.... The goal is 5 partitions: boot, notebook suspend, / , /home. and swap. So I have to use LVM. Here are my commands: #System bootloader configuration bootloader --location=mbr #Clear the Master Boot Record zerombr yes #Partition clearing information clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=hda #Disk partitioning information part pv.1

centos-virt, I'm trying to create/install domU guests all in "one" step, following Daniel's wiki page (I've found these pages really helpful, BTW): http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/InstallingCentOSDomU I have a few questions about this process: (1) How would it be modified (w/respect to defining the disk in the domain configuration file) to use a disk layout where dom0

I have a degraded raid array (originally raid-10, now only two drives) that contains an LVM volume. I can see in the appended text that the Xen domains are there but I don't see how to mount them. No doubt this is just ignorance on my part but I wonder if anyone would care to direct me? I want to be able to retrieve dom-0 and one of the dom-Us to do data recovery, the others are of

I have a centos 5.6 server that has xen domUs installed on their on logical volumes. These logical volumes contain their own volume groups and again their own logical volumes. I want to access the domU logical volumes and tried this: [root at kr ~]# fdisk -l /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02 Disk /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02: 274.8 GB, 274877906944 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 33418 cylinders Units =

I'm new to lvm. I decided to decrease the space of a logical volume. So I did a: $ df -m Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 1953 251 1602 14% / /dev/sda2 494 21 448 5% /boot tmpfs 1014 0 1014 0% /dev/shm

Dear All, I have been running an Asterisk 0.7.1 (patched with various agent applications) server for almost 2 years. We have a data center in the USA and a call center in the UK. All calls are routed to a group of central call queues in the USA. Agents from the data center, call center and from remote locations (London, Scotland, LA, Florida, and Maine) can log in, join the call queue and pick

Hello Group, I am building a company application based on Centos 5.7 OS. The application was working earlier and creating right partitions both for hardware as well as VM. But since we introduced Centos 5.7 OS and start building application with 5.7 anaconda the hardware partitions are duplicate of VM partitions *while creating hardware partition my code looks like.* cat >

Hi People I just updated a CentOS 5.2 Server that is a Guest inside VMware ESX 3.50 Server using "yum update". As far as I can tell the only three packages were updated Jul 24 16:37:49 Updated: php-common - 5.1.6-20.el5_2.1.i386 Jul 24 16:37:50 Updated: php-cli - 5.1.6-20.el5_2.1.i386 Jul 24 16:37:50 Updated: php - 5.1.6-20.el5_2.1.i386 But when I rebooted the Server one of my

I'm testing doing kickstart installations on Xen VMs. This is the first time I'm trying out kickstart at all, so I rather think I'm doing something wrong in the kickstart configuration than it is a Xen issue. I use a modified kickstart file from an earlier manual installation with a very basic filesystem setup. It fails with "SystemError: vgcreate failed for VolGroup00".

Hi, Something I haven't done before is reduce the number of volumes on my server.. Here is my current disk setup.. [root at server1 /]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-RootVol00 15G 1.5G 13G 11% / /dev/md0 190M 42M 139M 24% /boot /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-DataVol00 39G 16G

I am asking this here, that although a kickstart question, may have something to do with the Centos install? I took my Anaconda-ks.cfg from my system, turned it into a ks.cfg and did the install. Everything SEEMS ok, but why? First the partitioning information: ks.cfg supplied: clearpart --all --drives=hda part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=hda part / --fstype ext3 --start=14

I'd like to automate the upgrade from CentOS 4.6 to 5.1 as much as possible. Since upgrades per se are not really recommended, I'm planning to do a kickstart installation. However, I want to leave one of the existing partitions (/scratch) untouched during the installation. Here is my current layout (LogVol00 is swap so not shown in the df output below): # df -hl

Hi, I want to increase my harddisk space and receive the following error # lvextend -l +323 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 Extending logical volume LogVol00 to 48.97 GB device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument Failed to suspend LogVol00 Can you help me please? # fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 54.7 GB, 54759997440 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 6657 cylinders Units =

Howdy, Does anyone know if anything has changed with the LVM system from CentOS 4.4 to CentOS 4.5? I'm having kind of a funky issue. I've mounted LVM partitions manually quite a few times and I've never had this issue before: --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 VG Name VolGroup00 LV UUID

Hi all, I am looking for a way to recover my primary VolGroup00 that has my root partition. Here is my scenario; 1 - I add an external drive to my VolGroup00 which is sdc1. 2 - I make that external drive a snapshot of my / 3 - After I remove that new volume of sdc1 using lvremove, all os fine. 4 - When I turn off the sdc1 drive, I loose my VolGroup00. If by chance, the sdc1 breaks in such a

Hi guys, sorry if this is trivial, but I have been googling a couple days and already compromised a test disk trying to figure this out, so I thought it is time to ask for some advice. I have a disk that comes from a clean and working CentOS4.2 install, and I am trying to use an external usb to ide converter to mount it on another workstation with CentOS4.2. I am trying this to better
