Hi All, My one server recently started acting very weird. At fist I couldn't import any images with cobbler as rsync crashes the whole time. I was told to ask on the cobbler list (maybe it's not supported here?) but I left it at that (subscribed to far too many lists already).

Hi all, Is it possible, safely, to resize /var while a server is running? I urgently need to resize a full 2GB /var on a running server which is located at a remote location where no one can get to it for 2 days? The system runs on lvm.

Hi, I want to setup a central installation server, but haven't done this before, so I want to find out what would be best practices for this?
