similar to: nfs client issues since updating from 5.7 to 5.8 on the NFS server

Hi, So I updated my guest from 5.1 to 5.8 via a complete yum update, many many packages BTW. I shutdown the guest, change its "Disk bus" from IDE to Virtio and then upon boot, I get kernel panics as no disk can be found. I do get the splash screen at first however. My guest has /dev/hda, should I change its fstab to reflect /dev/vda instead? Thans in advance, - aurf

Hi all, I never really paid attention to this but a file on an NFS mount is showing 64M in size, but when copying the file to a local drive, it shows 2.5MB in size. My NFS server is hardware Raided with a volume stripe size of 128K were the volume size is 20TB. My NFS clients are the same distro as the server being Centos. Is this due to my stripe size? Nuggets are appreciated. - 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 ran into this bug on my NFS server which is serving an XFS fs; https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=616833 It was suggested using bind mounts. My current fstab on my server is; /dev/sdc1 /SHARE xfs defaults,noatime,nodiratime,logbufs=8,uquota 1 2 Unsure how to integrate bind mounts in this scheme to see if I can avoid this bug until it is fixed. Any ideas? - aurf

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 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

Allo esteemed Centos-ers, Noticed something funny with an mdadm mirror based raid the other day. So I had a system disk set to mirror via mdadm. One of the disks went south at a remote office and since there was no one available to swap out the disk, I thought to leave it for later. Well, due to work being what is it, this later became a year. During one of the servers many reboots, much 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

BTW, I have no swap partition and will do a swap file instead, easier to

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

Hello again, Been an interesting day.
