similar to: update from 4.8 to 5.4?

hello all, Hoping for some help on copying Logical Volumes. I would like to copy an existing LV to a newly formed LV. I don't want to do a snapshot of an existing LV. Only way I've seen is to mount the to LV and: mount /dev/vg00/lv00 /mnt/orig mount /dev/vg00/lv01 /mnt/copy cd /mnt/orig tar cf - ./ |(cd /mnt/copy; tar xf - ) Is there a LV tool to do this? Or an option used with

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Is there some limit on the size of a file system which can be shared via samba? I'm trying to set up a file server with a 100GB shared partition and it doesn't want to work. I'm running Fedora Core 4, and Samba Version 3.0.14a-2. The output from testparm looks like this: [root@stitch samba]# testparm Load smb config files from

I did something stupid when setting up a server which is now live. I think I'm stuck. I set up swap on Raid1 which is decidedly non-optimal. I'd prefer 2 independent swap partitions at the same priority. Here is the set up: /dev/sda1 + /dev/sdb1 -> md0 (raid1) md0 -> VolGroup00 VolGroup00 -> VG00LV00(/), VG00LV01(/home), VG00LV02(swap) I've gotten as far as : Turning

I created a 1TB RAID1. So far it is just for testing, no important data on there. After a reboot, I tried to mount it again # mount /dev/mapper/vg00-btrfsvol0_0 /mnt/btrfs0 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/vg00-btrfsvol0_0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or

Hi, We are having a problem between Linux 2.6.9-prep #12 SMP Mon Dec 6 12:08:34 CST 2004 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux (Samba version 3.0.9-1.fc3) and MAC OS X 10.3.5 Samba version 3.0.0rc2 Basically the issue is that the Mac reports the Linux share as being full, and won't allow files to be copied. We are able to work around it using this method: Create a folder on the Linux

I have a machine with two swap partitions (sda2 and sda8). Both will have none as mount point. When I try to use puppet (using mount type) for managing fstab I get problems because "name" in both instances (i.e. mount path) will be "none". How should I fix this within puppet? Regards Halvard Moe

I have full virtualized CentOs with disks ike this ------------- /dev/vg00/lv_root / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 --------------- I try change my it to paravirtualized, but after reboot I got kernel panic, because /dev/vg00/lv_root wansn''t found. ----------------- this is my grub

First let me say that I'm not a sysadmin, but am simply wearing that hat this week so please excuse my ignorance. I need to temporarily move some virtual servers from a CentOS-KVM platform to a CentOS-XEN platform while I do some upgrades to the CentOS box. I've created a local LV, and used DD and SCP to transfer the block device from the VKM machine to the XEN machine. For quite a

I tried to start a linux hvm domain (just for testing some things compared to a pv domain), and it didn''t start up. I then did a ''xm shutdown'', which didn''t work, then a ''xm destroy'', and from then the ''xm list'' function just hung. I then restarted xend, and ''xm list'' works, but now when I try to start the

I am trying to install CentOS from an ISO image file but the installer does not see a CD-ROM drive. The VNC viewer works but the CentOS installer indicates "Unable to find any devices of the type needed for this installation type." Then it prompts with "[Select driver] [Use a driver disk] [Back]". I have tried several variations of the "disk" paramater, all

Hi, As someone new to puppet I''m trying to work out the best way to manage different filesystems and logical volumes on different servers. Specifically I would like to be able to define on a series of nodes different LVM logical volumes to create and mount. I''m trying to do this at the moment with a define of the following type: # Manage a partition and create if needed.

I am running a Debian Squeeze Xen 4.0.1 Hypervisor and 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 dom0. My xen-tools.conf: lvm = vg00 size = 100Gb # Disk image size. memory = 2048Mb # Memory size swap = 2G # Swap size # noswap = 1 # Don''t use swap at all for the new system. fs = ext4 # use the EXT3 filesystem for the disk image. dist = `xt-guess-suite-and-mirror --suite` # Default

I have an smbd process that is using alot of cpu on HP-UX 11.11 using Samba 2.2.3a. It looks like the application on the client side is trying to open and close a ton of files, many of which do not exist. When I do a trace on the smbd process, I see repeated calls to lstat64 to what looks like all of the device files on my unix server. Here is a little bit of the trace. It goes through all of the

Hi to the ML. I''m new to VLAN configuration, and combining it to XEN is a bit difficult. I want to use VLAN because it''s possible to "arping" from a domU to an other, and VLAN looks like; the only solution to prevent that. May be I''m wrong if someone got a solution, I may be interrested. I''ve also tryed ebtables, but nothing to prevent arp

Hi All, [I originally posted this message in the main CentOS users' list, but later found this list. So, I'm reposting it here since this is where it belongs.] I'm trying to install a Fedora 8 domU on a CentOS 5 dom0, but the following command fails: [root at xenmaster ~]# virt-install -p -n krs -r 512 -m 00:16:3E:66:94:5F -b xenbr0 --vnc --vncport=5910 -l

Came across a strange problem, I have a software raid1 with LV sitting on top. When I try to mirror an existing LV to a new LV with the tar command I get these error messages. mount /dev/vg00/base.centos /mnt/orig mount /dev/vg00/test /mnt/new cd /mnt/orig tar cf - ./|(cd /mnt/new; tar xf - ) ...

I installed CentOS on my home-server with 2 IDE 160GB MAXTOR HDD / RAID-1, LVM and ext3 partitions. Previous OS on this machine was FC2. I often "play" with LVM and, sometimes, have to extand or reduce some volumes size. I was surprised to see that resize2fs isn''t included anymore ! The replacing tool is ext2online but this one seems to only be able to grow a filesystem (not

Hi, I am using CIFS 2.01.01 on HPUX11V2. CIFS is running in ADS security-mode. Winbind is used to map the userers from the W2K3-Domain (german) to an tdb-file. The user mapping works fine, but I have problems with the ACLS: setting the ACLS to a file or folder from windows leads in "access denied". I'm the owner of the object and have full access. The really crazy thing is,

Hi List, I run XEN 2 since some month (unfortunatly installed by a fiend of mine). Recently I bought some new hardware and tried to get XEN 3 running on a Debian Sarge 3.1. I installed via the Debian installer a RAID 1 with LVM. even though there are some devfs_mk_dir errors systems comes up. Now I installed XEN but system doe not boot as the boot device seems not to be recocnized by the

xend will not start a domain if one of the block devices is currently mounted elsewhere, but it will not detect if the device is currently attached to a loopback device. I wouldn''t have thought this a problem, provided that the loop device itself wasn''t in use, but it causes all sorts of strange things to happen. My loop device was mounted with the following command
