Dear all, I have a 4,1TB Logical volume consist of four disks with size of 2TB, 1TB, 1TB, and 500GB. The LV currently full. I plan to change the 1Tb disks and 500Gb disks. I plan to remove one 1TB disk or the 500GB so that I can replace it with 2TB disk. most LVM tutorial ask to use pvmove to move phisical extent to the new disk. The problem is that I have no SATA port left so that I can't

Dear All, My name is Muhammad Panji (MuhammadPanji on Wiki). I would like to help translation of wiki to Indonesian language.

Dear All, I have an onboard Realtek RTL8111/8168B NIC. from lspci -vv : 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 02) It is detected, but why the speed is always 100Mbps, already change cable but still no luck. I use ethtool and from the output it seems that system know that this NIC support gigabit speed : ???????

Hi All, On my gateway server I'm Installing CentOS on a flashdrive. is that a bad idea? the server keep hang, I can ping the server from the LAN and from the internet, the internet connection from LAN to internet is OK but another service is down, ssh, VPN (PPTPD) and another service. Even the console is unresponsive so I have to reset the server. Last time when I still can do SSH to server

CentOS Community, It is to my understanding that the /boot partition should never be placed on LVM and should be a physical partition on the hard drives (or on top of a RAID array). Is this an accurate statement? Also please advise if the SWAP filesystem is safe to be placed under LVM, or if this should be a hard partition / hard limit as well. I am unsure if boot issues or any filesystem issues

Dear all, I got weird permission on one of my server, when I ls -l the / i got permission for all directory set to "drwxr-xr-x." there are dot after the executable permission for others. what dot mean in permission and how to fix it? the actual problem is I could login via ssh but cannot login via winscp. any idea how to fix this? thanks in advance best regards, -- Muhammad Panji

Dear All, I have one VG with one LV inside consist of four disk (and four PV) somehow the UUID is changed. I try to restore with the last known good configuration and use pvcreate --uuid xxx --restorefile xxx but I think when I first time do it I did use wrong UUID for two device. but haven't only using command above and haven't used vgcfgrestore. After carefully read the configuration,

Hi guys, Logrotate is checked every day by cron.daily, right? I notice in logrotate.conf by default it's weekly. If I change it into monthly (now, on 12 of Feb), when will it do the monthly rotation? a. On 12 of March or b. On 1st of March? Thanks for any insight.

I read your version of the procedure and it looks like you want to skip the pvmove. That's fine, but it means more downtime (an unreliable estimate is one minuted per GB). In that case, you don't even need the snapshot. You won't need a point in time

Hi all, I'm looking for a (preferably free) alternative to SME / Clark Connect. I basically need the following: - firewall - nat - VPN - bandwidth limiting / monitoring - email (SMTP / POP3 / IMAP) & groupware - file & printer sharing - RAID support - if possible fail-over / high availability support. I need to support about 15 - 30 (some part time) students, so I would like to keep

Hi All. Looking for some guidance/experience with LVM and pvmove. I have a LUN/PV being presented from a iscsi SAN. The LUN/PV is presented to 5 servers as a shared VG they all have LV's they use for data, they are all connected via iSCSI. As the SAN I am using is being replaced I need to move onto a new unit. My migration strategy at this time is to 1. Present a new LUN from the new SAN

Hi I need some logic to work out a value for me - this value is _always_ the 3rd last field in a string seperated by '.' but the string could be 5 or 6 fields long, e.g foo.bar.VALUE.baz.lala foor.bar.gigi.VALUE.baz.lala I need to find VALUE - if this were python or something i could do it but this has to be in shell - Any clues? thanks

Are there any ways to improve/manage the speed of pvmove? Man doesn't show any documented switches for priority scheduling. Iostat shows the system way underutilized even though the lv whose pe's are being migrated is continuously being written (slowly) to. Thanks! jlc

Dear All, I am in desperate need for LVM data rescue for my server. I have an VG call vg_hosting consisting of 4 PVs each contained in a separate hard drive (/dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdc1, and /dev/sdd1). And this LV: lv_home was created to use all the space of the 4 PVs. Right now, the third hard drive is damaged; and therefore the third PV (/dev/sdc1) cannot be accessed anymore. I would like

I've used LVM on servers with hot-swap drives to migrate to new storage without downtime a number of times. Add new drives to the system, configure RAID (software or

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
