Hi I have a linux box which has CentOS running in it. I logged into the box using root and wrote a script in the /home/proc_threads directory. saved the file and quit. I changed the file permissions such that any user could execute it using the "chmod 777 filename" command. When i log out and log in as a non-root user i was not able to execute the script though.

I will try using virtio after upgrading my VMs kernel. Thanks for all the responses and

Hi Users I am using RHEL 6.5 on my server. From top command i can see that the processors in my server are spending a lot of time on wait for I/O.

Here is the df output about the disk space in my system: ********** [root at localhost images]# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1

Hi I am using QEMU 0.12.1 as the hypervisor in my RHEL installation of 6.5. I wanted to know if there are any side-effects with respect to VM image corruption when i use SIGTERM signal to kill a qemu-kvm process which effectively stops my VM running on the host. Appreciate if you can provide me some valuable information in this regard. Thanks Jatin

Hi All We use CentOS 6.6 for our application. I have profiled the application and find that we have a heavy requirement in terms of Disk writes. On an average when our application operates at a certain load i can observe that the disk writes / second is around 2 Mbps (Average). The block size set is 4k ******************* [root at localhost ~]# blockdev --getbsz /dev/sda3 4096

Hi Not a specific question on CentOS but in general about java processes running on Linux boxes. I have a couple of java processes running on my linux boxes , They basically form a component of a bigger application. My point of interest is to monitor the resource usage of the java processes running on the linux box. So currently when i have these procs running on my box they show up as

Hi All I looked at this page for reference to using virtio drivers on KVM guests. http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Virtio In the requirements section it is mentioned that we need a virtio compatible guest with kernel >= 2.6.25 One of my guest has this version: [root@localhost ~]# uname -a Linux localhost 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 SMP Thu Sep 3 03:28:30 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I was
