similar to: chipsets etc to avoid for CentOS 6.x

Now don't go bugging people asking when CentOS 6.7 will be out. "When it's ready." In upgrading from RHEL 6.6 to 6.7, I did find that I had to disable my 3rd party repos (elrepo and epel) in order to avoid yum erroring out. Plus I did the usual "yum clean all". (I don't use the PackageKit GUI as it's been unable to complete for quite a few months without

I've got a fresh CentOS 7 test machine, fully patched. The command: shutdown -h now surprisingly does not halt the machine. Instead it reboots it. WTF? I found the following Debian discussion which seems to be the same issue: <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=766338> However, removing kexec-tools in this case did not solve the problem. Nor does

I have a CentOS 6 machine that was initially installed as CentOS 6.4 in May of 2013. It's /boot filesystem is 200M which, IIRC, was the default /boot size at the time. The most recent kernel update (2.6.32-573.18.1.el6) fails because of lack of space in /boot. The workaround is edit /etc/yum.conf, reduce installonly_limit from 5 to something lower (I used 3), remove the oldest kernel via

Hi all! I'm still on C6. I'm using a RAID1 configuration (Linux software RAID) and I'd like to either use the same one, or possibly configure it on new drives (larger) when I upgrade to C7. (I'm really feeling the need to move off C6.) But it isn't at all obvious how one would do a new RAID1 setup in Anaconda, and I don't find any user reports or other info on this in the

I'm not sure if this is helpful to anyone else and I can't decide if it's mildly clever or just a stupid pet trick, really. I recently decided to reinstall my work laptop with centos. as part of the install I used an 8g sandisk USB drive; it's roughly the size of a wireless mouse receiver. I put /boot, / and /usr on the USB drive, set encrypted partitions for swap, /home, /opt,

I am now investigating encrypting our IMAP user spool files. Does anyone have experience with handling encrypted data stores using either or both of the subject methods and would care tio share their observations? Which is the preferred method (I know: it depends, but on what?)? What administrative pain does each cause? Our IMAP host is a KVM guest so spinning up a duplicate and simply

We have a "compute cluster" of about 100 machines that do a read-only NFS mount to a big NAS filer (a NetApp FAS6280). The jobs running on these boxes are analysis/simulation jobs that constantly read data off the NAS. We recently upgraded all these machines from CentOS 5.7 to CentOS 6.5. We did a "piecemeal" upgrade, usually upgrading five or so machines at a time, every few

I have an original-label Infrant (now NetGear) ReadyNAS storage appliance that's been running for 8+ years. Except for replacing its power supply, it has not skipped a beat in all this time. I use it primarily as a backup device (via NFS) for a couple of Linux machines, (via SMB) for a couple of Windows PC's, and (via ftp) for web sites at my hosting provider. SMART+ reporting shows

Can you elaborate on this? What yum error(s) did you see? I updated a RHEL 6.6 system with ELRepo enabled (but no EPEL packages) to RHEL 6.7 using 'yum update'

What does your /etc/idmapd.conf look like on the server side? I fought with this quite a bit a while ago, but my use case was a bit different, and I was working with CentOS 5 and 6. Still, the kicker for me was updating the [Translation] section of /etc/idmapd.conf. Mine looks like this: [Translation] Method = nsswitch GSS-Methods = nsswitch,static You said you're not using Kerberos or
