Can I use libguestfs to pass some parameters into a KVM virtual machine
Hi,
I have installed KVM in my RHEL5.3 box, and created some VMs on it.
I am wondering if I can use libguestfs to pass some parameters/files
into my VMs. As you may know, for Xen, I can use xenstore command to
do this job, can libguestfs do the same thing?
What I want to do includes:
1. Modify some configurations in my VM, such as editing
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to add a static

DomU stuck in boot
Hello,
I am running xen-3.3.1 with rhel5.3 dom0.
I have a rhel5.3 domU that is stuck in the boot process. It seems it is
trying to bring up the network. We see this problem only occassionally.
This is the last console output:

[PATCH / discussion only] Add kernel and userspace arch detection to virt-inspector
This patch isn't quite finished. I also need to modify the
virt-inspector "query mode" so that it can display the architecture.
Nevertheless, text and XML output works for both Linux and Windows
guests.
Rich.

vgrename, lvrename
Hi,
I want to rename some volume groups and logical volumes.
I was not surprised when it would not let me rename active volumes.
So I booted up the system using the CentOS 5.5 LiveCD,
but the LiveCD makes the logical volumes browsable using Nautilus,
so they are still active and I can't rename them.
Tried:
/usr/sbin/lvchange -a n VolGroup00/LogVol00
but it still says:

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

Question on installing 2.6.18
Hi,
I have a need to install 2.6.18 kernel.
After I configure, make, make modules, make install (all that is good).
The last thing I do is 'make install'. This also modifies grub.conf and
adds an entry for my new kernel. However it leaves the old kernel as still
the default. Is there a way to have it automatically set my new kernel
as the default in grub.conf so when I reboot the new

Centos 5.5, not booting latest kernel but older one instead
I've been going along not noticing things happening right under my nose.
so imagine my surprise when I discovered last night that my Centos 5 box
has installed multiple new kernels over the last few months, as updates
come out, and IT IS NOT BOOTING THE NEWST ONE.
grub.conf says to boot kernel 0, and 0 is the newest one. but the one it
actually boots is 6 or 8 down the list (clearly I've

LVM on dom0?
I''ve spent the past while researching this but I''m just not finding a
solution. I''ve been trying to get my xen kernel booting on a pretty much stock
CentOS 4.4 installation. I installed Xen from src rpm and installed all the
requisite software and I''m sure it''s with the ram disk but I can''t figure out
how to resolve this.

Un Installing a hard drive in a Centos 5.1 box
Hi Guys,
I'm fairly new to Linux and I'm trying to un install a hard drive from my Centos 5.1 box running KDE. When I built the PC, I installed two 500 gig maxtors in the tower, then I installed Centos. Now I've decided that I want to remove the slave drive and use it as an external backup drive - I am mounting it into one of those external drive cases with a built in fan.

Strange Problem with dm-0
I began an update of one of our servers via yum and, coincidentally or
not, I have been getting the following logged into the message file since:
messages:Jan 7 15:55:51 inet07 kernel: post_create: setxattr failed,
rc=28 (dev=dm-0 ino=280175)
Now, this tells me that dev dm-0 is out of space but, what is dm-0?
So, can anyone tell me what is happening and why?

Formatting hdb?
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.

Needed help to fix corrupted ext3 fs
I have been trying very hard to seek help with my very complex issue but
so far none have been successful. So I would like to try this mailing
list, maybe there are some experts who know what they're talking about.
Please refer to my experts-exchange question, all the required
information will be there. It is more practical to send you to the
webpage than paste out what I've done.
