Hi, I'm VNCing into my KVM server and opening virt-manager. When trying to manage a newly created guest, I'm finding the mouse pointer stays on the outside of its virtual machine window. Any insight as to why its tracking so oddly? Thanks in advance, - aurf

Hi all, Not having much luck adding a user to more then 1 group in OpenLDAP thats provided in Centos. Any suggestions to have the outcome of having a user belong to multiple groups? Should I create a new group that has multiple GIDs and assign a user to that new group? If so, how? :) Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I have a few ldap servers slaved to a primary via syncrepl, all is well. I've set my clients to auth against a few and there /etc/ldap.conf looks like so; uri ldap://primary.domain.com ldap://secondary.domain.com However when either primary or slaves go down, while the clients can log in, access is very slow, ls of any dir is painful. The /var/log/messages shows several failed

Hi, Has any one had problems with mail clients were your DNS is like this; doman.com MX 50 mail.domain.com domain.com MX 100 mail2.domain.com domain.com CNAME www.domain.com -aurf

Hi all, I noticed that my ssh logins to a particular server were taking up to 5 seconds to finally login. My tcpdump -vv weren't producing much output (not good) and my pings to and from that host were normal and almost identical to other hosts on my subnet that had no ssh login delay issues. Log files also showed nothing alarming. My hosts file was missing this at the very end of

Hi all, I'm migrating from my Cent 5.x LDAP server to Cent 6.x. But wondering if there are any advantages to the Directory Server package itself? Been using regular old LDAP server for years now. I manage it both via Webmin and command line as well as some tweaks to a Drupal module. The fail over has always sort of bothered me as the secondary LDAP servers pull vs being pushed to, at

Hi, I've been using qemu-img resize for a few days now, seems fine. But if I du the VMs image file, it still shows the size before resizing. Inside that VM, the new size shows correctly. Is qemu-img resize the right tool for this? Once I qemu-img resize, I then use various fdisk/ LVM tools, etc... to resize within the VM just incase you all were wondering. - aurf

Hi all, Don't mean to double post as I sent this to the general Centos list. But, does any one have 802.3ad (mode 4) working on there Centos6 KVM setup? This would be a bridge+bond setup of course. If not possible, would I still bond the interfaces on the switch and then bond them in the guest rather then from within the hypervisor? - aurf

Hi, Wondering if this is the proper bridging technique to use for Centos6+KVM; http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/KVM Before I embark on this again, I would like to do it by the book. Thanks in advance, - aurf

Hi all, I've a particular host on my network that when I run; rexec -l username -p password remotehost command it just hangs. When I do; rexec -a -l username -p password remotehost command i get; Where are you? If I do; rexec -l username -p password localhostname (not just localhost but its actual name) command it works. Any ideas would be very appreciated. - aurf

Hi all, I've a 30TB hardware based RAID array. Wondering what you all thought of using ext4 over XFS. I've been a big XFS fan for years as I'm an Irix transplant but would like your opinions. This 30TB drive will be an NFS exported asset for my users housing home dirs and other frequently accessed files. - aurf

Hi all, Not sure how to start but I have an automount map tripping as soon as automount starts. I've no services that use that mount point and am baffeled as to why its mounted. When I remove the map entry fro that mount point, I get complaints in / var/log/messages from automount about the missing mount point. Any ideas how I can finds what's causing the mount? Thanks in

Hi all, This topic is one that I am ignorant on and appreciate any guidance. My scenario; I have a wild card SSL installed on one of my CentOS boxes. As I understand it, this server was used as a sort of master when originally generating and receiving the wild card SSL cert (got the cert from GoDaddy BTW). So, now I must export some file(s) from that server so that I can import it/them to

Hi all, Read many posts on the subject. Using 802.3ad. Few problems; Cannot ping some hosts on the network, they are all up. Cannot resolve via DNS which is one of the hosts that I cannot ping, internal nor external DNS hosts. Unplugging the NICS and plugging them back in will then not allow pining if the default d=gateway. When cold booting it somewhat works, some hosts are pingable while

From: Nikolay Ivanets <stenavin@gmail.com> Inspection code checks /etc/mdadm.conf to map MD device paths listed in mdadm.conf to MD device paths in the guestfs appliance. However on some operating systems (e.g. Ubuntu) mdadm.conf has alternative location: /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf. This patch consider an alternative location of mdadm.conf as well. --- daemon/inspect_fs_unix_fstab.ml | 13

Hi, I lost my mdadm.conf (and /proc/mdadm shows nothing useful) and I'd like to mount the filesystem again. So I've booted using rescue but I was wondering if I can do a command like this safely (i.e without losing the data previously stored). mdadm -C /dev/md0 --level=raid0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 Where of course the raid devices and the /dev/x are the correct ones

Hi, what?s the proposed way of handling mdadm in Centos 7? I did not get any notification when a disk in a RAID1 failed, and now that the configuration has changed after resolving the problem, I might be supposed to somehow update /etc/mdadm.conf. Am I not supposed to be notified by default when something goes wrong with an array? How do I update /etc/mdadm.conf? I?m used to all this working

Hi all, I am migrating my Xen guests over to KVM. Does any one know were I can find said 5.1 kernel for download? - aurf

md_create: mdadm: boot: mdadm: boot is not a block device. at /home/rjones/d/libguestfs/images/guest-aux/make-fedora-img.pl line 95. Looking into this, it appears the old version of mdadm shipped in Ubuntu (mdadm 2.6.7) doesn't support the notion of giving arbitrary names to devices. Thus you have to do: mdadm --create /dev/md0 [devices] We do: mdadm --create boot [devices] which it

I've no idea what happened, but the box I was working on last week has a *second* bad drive. Actually, I'm starting to wonder about that particulare hot-swap bay. Anyway, mdadm --detail shows /dev/sdb1 remove. I've added /dev/sdi1... but see both /dev/sdh1 and /dev/sdi1 as spare, and have yet to find a reliable way to make either one active. Actually, I would have expected the linux
