Hi, I need to mount a LVM in rescue mode to create a new initrd image. I am not sure how do I fond out which LogVol is to be mounted. How do I find it out? In most of the configs I have used LogVol00 with ext3 filesystem which contains OS install. This particular system is not installed by me and I am not sure how do I find it out. I did try 'lvm lvs' command, but probably that's not

Howdy, I have renamed a directory on NFS ver 3 server and then created a new directory again with the same name. # mv dir dir-hosed # mkdir dir The directory is auto-mounted on client side. I had unmounted directories on client side before making above changes. Now when I try to mount back 'dir', I still see old files and not new empty dir. Am I missing something here in the NFS config?

How do I pass xargs input one line at a time to subsequent command? For example I want to install rubygems by reading a text file as shown below, however the arguments are getting passed all at once to the 'gem install' command. I hace tried -L (max-lines) and -n (max args) options, but it didn't work. What's missing here?? Any help? $ cat gem.list.1 mkrf rake xmlparser $ awk

CentOS 5.5 {{{ mkswap: unable to relabel /srv/cloud/one/var/25/images/disk.1 to system_u:object_r:swapfile_t: Operation not supported }}} The selinux is configured in permissive mode.

Hi I have setup software RAID two years ago using FC3 using the graphical installer (RAID1). In the mean time I installed CENTOS4.5 and everything is running fine. At least that was my perception. It now turns out that raid is not working and that LVS just finds 4 partitions from four disks and that's it.: /dev/sda2 VolGroup00 lvm2 a- 94.88G 0 /dev/sdb1 VolGroup00 lvm2 a-

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''ve installed a FC5 domU under RHEL5-beta2 dom0 with virt-manager. As the disk for domU I used: phy:/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol02,xvda,w In the domU I have partitions: /dev/xvda1 on / type ext3 (rw) /dev/xvda2 on /var type ext3 (rw) How do I access these partitions from dom0? For example if I take an LVM snapshot of LogVol02, how do I mount the / partition of the domU installed on

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'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

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 =

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. [root at nd11176 ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders

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

Hi, I've been receiving message "No space left on device" but there is space. I've forced fsck on reboot 2 times but did not solve. # yum rpmdb: /var/lib/rpm/__db.001: No space left on device error: db4 error(28) from dbenv->open: No space left on device error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - No space left on device (28) error: cannot open Packages database in

After upgrading my HD, I am now wishing I left some space for doing snapshots. Is there a way to free up some space so I can get some free PE? Right now I have this: # vgdisplay --- Volume group --- VG Name VolGroup00 System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 1 Metadata Sequence No 7 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable

Greetings - I have stepped through the first guest OS installation (a testing VM) on my new server and have a technical question that I hope someone might be able to help me with. I have exhausted my google search ability and have not been able to find the details I am looking for. In general the question I am trying to answer is how to select and use multiple raw logical volumes when

Dear friends: Using Centos 5. I have two physical drives. During install, I made sure to check hdb as well as hda. Both were listed as partitions (which is correct). But my fstab file does not show hdb. How do I make sure that hdb has been formatted and is part of my file system. If hdb is not formatted, how do I format it, please. Sorry for the question. I am a newbie. d[sher at localhost

I performed a test install of CentOS Beta 5 on a system with two ~60 GB drives. When installing CentOS 4 on this system, I normally work thru setting up Software RAID with identically sized partitions on each drive. For my test, the CentOS installer only presented a single drive. I took the default of letting it do what it wanted. After looking over the system I have verified that /boot is

I need to install ruby 1.8.7 on CentOS 5.5 x86_64 system. I am planning to install it from source, but I am not sure whether this will install rdoc, ri and ruby-devel as well. I couldn't figure it out from 'configure --help' command. Appreciate any help regarding this issue. Also, any other installation options or repository suggestions are welcome. thanks, neuby.r
