I have a system with Fedora installed on the partition with label "/". Can I install CentOS on a new empty partition (/dev/cciss/c0d3p1), or do I need to remove the "/" label on the Fedora partition and change Fedora's fstab to mount by physical partition? I'd like to keep Fedora as a fall-back OS until I have CentOS completely up and working. My Fedora fstab:

The recent thread on Anaconda and RAID10 made me start to think about how to partition a server I'm about to set up. I have two 146GB SCSI drives on an IBM x3550. It will be used as a build system. As such, there is no critical data on these systems, as the source code will be checked out of our source control system, and the build results are copied to another system. I usually

Hi, I am trying to install some additional iptables modules on a CentOS 5 Box (imq, tarpit, geoip). Can anyone recommend a version of patch-o-matic-ng that works well with the CentOS 5 kernel sources (2.6.18-8.1.4)? The most current version (patch-o-matic-ng-20070521.tar.bz2) does not compile. With patch-o-matic-ng-20061128.tar.bz2 I could at least get tarpit working but geoip and imq seem

Before I'd try to defragment my whole filesystem (see attached mail for whole story) I figured "Let's try it on some file". So I did > xfs_bmap /raid/Temp/someDiskimage.iso [output shows 101 extents and 1 hole] Then I defragmented the file > xfs_fsr /raid/Temp/someDiskimage.iso extents before:101 after:3 DONE > xfs_bmap /raid/Temp/someDiskimage.iso [output shows 3

Hi! I've got a fileserver currently running under 5.3 with the /home-partition being an XFS-filesystem. I use the kmod-xfs from extras. It works great ;) Now: as I understand it from the release-notes the 5.4 kernel has XFS already built-in. Right? Or is it just a kmod-package ("technology preview") Now my question is: are there any recommendations for an upgrade-procedure? I

dear list. I was just wondering, is there anyone here using sles9 with xfs in an lvm? We had severe filesystem corruption on a server today, and only two things were changed: I updated via yast online update (lot's of updates, strange enough, including an lvm update) and I had to replace a drive in my hardware 6 disk raid array. (IBM 5i, raid 5) Now I was wondering what caused the

Yes, I rm'ed the wrong directory. The disk has not been written to since, now mounted ro. Is it possible to recover the files without doing forensics on the whole partition? I know the UID and path. XFS is supposed to be pretty amazing, can I get it to do this? Thanks, Dave

Hi, I''m running Xen on a Debian Xeon E3110 using the Debian 2.6.26-2-xen kernel. As filesystem for my lvm domU partitions I choosed xfs. I get the following error in kern.log of domU when booting a domU: blkfront: sda2: write barrier op failed blkfront: sda2: barriers disabled end_request: I/O error, dev sda2, sector 0 end_request: I/O error, dev sda2, sector 0 Filesystem

Hello! A few days ago I received a filesystem memory corruption notification from Debian's Linux kernel (2.6.20), which automatically unmounted my root partition. Upon closer investigation, I found that something had overwritten most of my data, XFS's superblocks and other metadata structures. That means from partition offset 0x200. At the time of the error, the only services I was using

hi all, I hope you can help me with a strange quota/nfs/XFS behavior... I'm using Centos 5.6 on both a nfs server and client. Both are 64-bit, and using a recent kernel: NFS server: Linux fs2.priv 2.6.18-238.12.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue May 31 13:22:04 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux NFS client: Linux nx8.priv 2.6.18-238.12.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue May 31 13:22:04 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64

Good day, I have a centos 4.4 box (all yumed up). Now i have a program that has a sub shell - meaning something like the mysql command line, where once started it takes it's own commands, etc and keeps running until a "quit" command is issued. Now what I was wondering - is there a way to fork it to the background (something like # command & or ctrl -z) and have the subshell keep

Hi List, Is it possible to install centos 5 with xfs root and how to do it? -- Eero

I installed kmod-xfs-0.4-2 back with kernel-2.6.18-92.1.13. I have updated kernels but there have been no new kmod-xfs. It still works because of weak-updates (I guess). Currently: # find /lib/modules -name xfs.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.13.el5/extra/xfs/xfs.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.13.el5/weak-updates/xfs/xfs.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.17.el5/weak-updates/xfs/xfs.ko

I'm trying to add XFS and ReiserFS to CentOS, integrating with Kickstart. I think I'm fairly close. I've added xfs.ko and reiserfs.ko to modules.cgz in initrd. Several of my partitions now specify --fstype=xfs. I can see tty5 mkfs.xfs is creating the XFS file systems. The system currently installs completely via kickstart, but it does not mount the XFS file systems while in the

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
