Hi, I''m using puppet 2.7.3 on RHEL/CentOS and I have an issue which is now a big blocking issue within my environment. What I''m trying to accomplish wit puppet is a create a mountpoint, mount a filesystem on it and install an application on that filesystems are set proper user/ group and permissions on it, but it fails big time. The issues I currently run into are about 3

Just discovered that on CentOS 4.1 when you issue the command: lvcreate -s -n temp -L2G /dev/vgname/lvname to create a snapshot, you get the error message: snapshot: Required device-mapper target(s) not detected in your kernel I've checked and recheck my spelling and tried using the device created under /dev/mapper. I've tried it on both x86_64 and on i386. Works as expected under

Hi, I have been trying to improve the coding of some of my puppet recipes and had some trouble so wrote this: http://blog.wl0.org/2011/05/thoughts-about-extlookup-in-puppet/ Comments on the web seem to indicate that extlookup() solves "all problems" but I don''t really see that and hence have proposed a possible way to keep the data closer together and make the extlookup()

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

I have a series of unmounted lv's that are used in xen vm's of various flavors in a lab environment. I made a script that I use to backup all of them prior to doing anything I may need to undo and all I execute is: dd if=/dev/vgname/lvname of=/dir/name.img Are there any additional parameters I should use? I haven't tried to restore this into an lv, but I did swap the 'phy'

Hi everyone. This isn't specifically a CentOS question, since it could apply for any distro but I hope someone can answer it anyway. I took the following steps but was puzzled by the outcome of the test at the end: 1. Create a RAID1 array called md3 with two 750GB drives 2. Create a RAID1 array called md9 with two 500GB drives 3. Initialise md3 then md9 as physical volumes (pvcreate) 4.

hello, i am a newbie to this list and i don't know if this has been posted before (if so, plzz accept my apologies) i just noticed a nice mini-howto on ext2-ext3 conversion at http://www.symonds.net/~rajesh/howto/ext3/index.html i think that maybe a link can be added to this after the download section... cheers Sayamindu *********************************************************************

Hi, I recently installed centos for the first time and I like it! Also, I just started working with lvm. The following warnings are genertated whenever I run one of lvm commands on the external usb disk (MyBook by Western Digital). * What could be the source for those messages? * Should I worry about them (writing into the created LV's seems to work)? * If yes, how to fix them?

Hi list, i tried to write my first type and provider that should create logical volumes. Seems like i''m missing something as i get nothing when i use it: No errors and no logical volume :-( type/logicalvolume.rb: ================= Puppet::Type.newtype(:logicalvolume) do @doc = "Manage logical volumes" ensurable newparam(:lvname) do desc "The logcal

Hi, I don't like to start messages out this way and this is my opinion but i'm really beginning to hate lvm. With that out of the way here's the situation. I have a centos 4.4 drive with two partitions on it, one an hd*1 partition former /boot ext3 partition, which i can read fine, but which doesn't have the data i want. I've got some data on an lvm volume /dev/hd*2

I have a laptop that I put centos 7 on and I started out with a 30gig partition.? I resized the other part of the disk to allow more space for centos.? I then created an unformated partition in the available space,? ran pvcreate /dev/sda4 vgextend lvname /dev/sda4 lvextend -L 184.46G /dev/lvname/root but when I run: sudo resize2fs /dev/lvname/root I get: resize2fs: Bad magic

Hi, I am trying to recover data from my old system which had LVM. The disk had two partitions - /dev/sda1 (boot, Linux) and /dev/sda2 (Linux LVM). I had taken a backup of both partitions using dd. Now I am booting of CentOS live cd for system restore. I recreated partitions like previous system using fdisk and then used dd to dump all the data onto it. I would like to mount sda2 as LVM, but I

guys, for some reason this is just eluding me. I need to download a source rpm for postfix as I've done many times in the past. But when I go to the available packages section of the postfix site and click on my architecture this is what I see: http://ftp.wl0.org/official/2.9/RPMS-rhel5-x86_64/ Maybe I'm missing something obvious here? If you needed to download a source rpm for

I created a 1TB RAID1. So far it is just for testing, no important data on there. After a reboot, I tried to mount it again # mount /dev/mapper/vg00-btrfsvol0_0 /mnt/btrfs0 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/vg00-btrfsvol0_0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or

I am running a Debian Squeeze Xen 4.0.1 Hypervisor and 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 dom0.
