lvm and kickstart issues deploying CentOS5.5
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 "

Hi,
This is my current config:

Problem creating volgroups with kickstart installations (on xen)
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".

resolv.conf rewritten every reboot. How to figure out who and why?
My machine has a static IP, with dhcp and IPv6 disabled. Every time I
reboot, some process rewrites /etc/resolv.conf, including a comment
about dhcpclient. The only package I have installed that shows up in
"rpm -qa|grep -i dhcp" is dhcpv6-client-1.0.10-16.el5, and nothing in
there is named dhcpclient.
I'd like to figure out what software is rewriting this file and why.

what''s correct way of shrinking LVM based domU?
Hi all
I want to shrink one of my LVM based domU''s, but don''t quite know how to
do it.
I have searched the Wiki & HOWTO''s, and they all show you how expand /
enlarge a LVM based domU, but not shrinking it.
So, I stopped (destroyed) the domU, and then resized it as follows:

steps to add a new physical disk to existing LVM setup in new centos box?
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

is it possible to resive a PV in LVM and add more LV's ?
Hi all
I have a remote server (i.e SSH access only) which was incorrectly
partitioned and I urgently need to get it up and running. It's got a 500GB
HDD, but the PV is only 10GB big, so I can't add more LV's to to. P.S. This
is on LVM, btw.

Software RAID + LVM + Grub
I'm playing with software RAID and LVM in some virtual machines and
I've run into an issue that I can't find a good answer to in the docs.
I have the following RAID setup:
md0: sda1 and sdb1, RAID 1. This is /boot
md1: sda2 and sdb2, RAID 1. This is a PV for LVM.
VolGroup00, this is the volume group and md1 is the only PV in it.
LogVol00 is swap
LogVol01 is /
LogVol02 is /home

can't mount an LVM volume inCentos 5.10
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

LVM, SATA controllers and BIOS devices
So I have an issue with CentOS 5.3 i386, LVM, and SATA.
Boot device is a 200GB ATA disk on hda2.
I've added a couple of disks with the on-the-mobo SATA controller ports
and grown the EXT3 fs with system-config-lvm.
Then, as an experiment, I added a PCI SATA controller and an additional
disk. Ran system-config-lvm, added the new space to the existing
VolGroup00, and all was good.

mounting an lvm partition via a USB adapter
I am trying to mount this (my old hard drive) from my Centos 5 install
as a USB drive so I can copy files over.
I have made the change to max_luns so that I can have more than one
drive on a USB drive.
The first partition, /dev/sda1 mounts automatically as /boot_
The second partition, /dev/sda2 is the one I really want and it is an

LVM problem
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

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.
