Hi, As someone new to puppet I''m trying to work out the best way to manage different filesystems and logical volumes on different servers. Specifically I would like to be able to define on a series of nodes different LVM logical volumes to create and mount. I''m trying to do this at the moment with a define of the following type: # Manage a partition and create if needed.

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

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

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, 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

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

I am trying to install CentOS 4.6 to a pair of 750GB hard drives. I can successfully install to either of the drives as a single drive, but when I try to use both drives and mirror the partitions, I start having problems. Anaconda crashes as it is trying to format the drives. This is what I'm trying to create: /dev/md0: 200MB, /boot /dev/md1: 2GB, swap /dev/md2: rest of the

This patch is easier to read if you use the 'git show -w' option. Also observe that: fun a -> ( fun () -> (* code *) ) (ie. returning a closure) is identical to: fun a () -> (* code *) Rich.

Hi users, I was working with GNU parted and got some changes in the partition and the system crashed. I had to freshly install RH Linux 9 again as it didn't detect the linux installation.

-- Hi. I'm running Ubuntu Precise 12.04 LTS. I created some virtual machines using vmbuilder, and then migrated those from their .qcow files to lvm. However, those virtual machines are still using disk type "file": Code: <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source

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.

I am considering changing my server from Ubuntu to Centos. I have been tinkering with a box that will eventually become a new server. I am having a problem. This box has two ide drives. Originally I had a Ubuntu desktop installed on hda and then added a Centos server installed on hdb. I wanted to try a different server configuration without overwriting the current install on hdb. With the server

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. d[sher at localhost

Hello, The xm config option boot="c" is intended to boot from the "first" harddrive; however, the enumeration of harddrives is independent of device enumeration (hda|hdb|hdc|hdd), leading to unreliable boot device selection. Example A: I am building a Windows HVM appliance which performs file-system level operations over mounted NTFS volumes - for example a file-system

Hello, I had a scientific linux 3.0.4 system (rhel compatible), with 3 ide disks, one for / and two others in linear raid (250 gb and 300 gb each). This system was obsoleted so i move the raid disks to a new scientific linux 3.0.7 installation. However, the raid array was not detected ( I put the disks on the same channels and same master/lsave setup as in the previous setup). In fact

All, Trying to figure out how to deal with, I assume, a dying disk that's unfortunately on / (ext3).

I'm currently working on a new package for R that interfaces with an API. Most of the package's functionality requires users to supply an access key that allows the package to work with the API. I want to display text immediately upon loading the package that instructs/reminds users to enter their access key before attempting to do anything (as the package won't really work without
