Greetings - I am a novice system administrator and will soon be purchasing a new server to replacing an aging file server for my company. I am considering setting up the new server as a KVM host with two guests; one guest as the Samba file server and a second guest as a testing area. My old server was set up about 7 years ago and has a 5 disk raid 5 configuration without LVM. I understand

Greetings - I am trying to install CentOS 7 into a new Dell Precision 3610. I have two 3 TB drives that I want to setup in software RAID1. I followed the guide here for my install as it looked fairly detailed and complete (http://www.ictdude.com/howto/install-centos-7-software-raid-lvm/). I only changed the size of the partitions from what is described, but ended up with the disk

Greetings - I will be getting a new server for my company in the next few months and am trying to get a better understanding of some of the basic theoretical approaches to using Centos KVM on a server. I have found plenty of things to read that discuss how to install KVM on the host and how to install a guest and setup the network bridge, and all the other rudimentary tasks. But all of

Greetings - I have searched the mailing list archives and my Samba 3 book and have not seen this issue addressed anywhere. My home desktop box has Win98 installed on a 20 GB drive and Centos 4.4 on a 160 GB drive with a Grub menu for selecting which OS to boot. I am wondering if it is theoretically possible to share (read and write) files on the Linux drive when booted to Window, and vice

Greetings - I have not been a long time follower of this list, but I have scanned through the last year or so of archives, after not finding much from google searches. I am hoping someone here can inform me if what I want to do is feasible, and give me some general guidance to follow so that I can continue my research and complete this task. I admin a RH3 system that is primarily a Samba

Hi all, I'm setting up Centos4.2 on 2x80GB SATA drives. The partition scheme is like this: /boot = 300MB / = 9.2GB /home = 70GB swap = 500MB The RAID is RAID 1. md0 = 300MB = /boot md1 = 9.2GB = LVM md2 = 70GB = LVM md3 = 500MB = LVM Now, the confusing part is: 1. When creating VolGroup00, should I include all PV (md1, md2, md3)? Then create the LV. 2. When setting up RAID 1, should I

Greetings - I have stepped through the first guest OS installation (a testing VM) on my new server and have a technical question that I hope someone might be able to help me with. I have exhausted my google search ability and have not been able to find the details I am looking for. In general the question I am trying to answer is how to select and use multiple raw logical volumes when

I have been getting the following splat for while now, guess its time to report, this is on 4.15.8-1-default (OpenSUSE Tumbleweed). I could try a more up to date kernel if we think this can be fixed.

Greetings - I have an interesting issue that I am trying to understand. This may not be a direct Samba related issue, but the results of the issue are showing up in the Samba log, so I thought I would start here. Please direct me elsewhere if there is a better forum for this question. I have spent some time Googling and have a small understanding of what is going on, but now my Google-fu

Greetings - In my logwatch report this morning I noticed reference to an attempt to connect to rsync from an external IP address. It doesn't appear that the connection was successful based on correlating information between /var/log/secure and /var/log/messages. But I am looking for some suggestions for implementing more preventative measures, if necessary. The log information from

Greetings - The short story is that got my new install completed with the partitioning I wanted and using software raid, but after a reboot I ended up with a grub prompt, and do not appear to have a grub.cfg file. So here is a little history of how I got here, because I know in order for anyone to help me they would subsequently ask for this information. So this post is a little long, but

Hi, This is my current config: /dev/md0 -> 200 MB -> sda1 + sdd1 -> /boot /dev/md1 -> 36 GB -> sda2 + sdd2 -> form VolGroup00 with md2 /dev/md2 -> 18 GB -> sdb1 + sde1 -> form VolGroup00 with md1 sda,sdd -> 36 GB 10k SCSI HDDs sdb,sde -> 18 GB 10k SCSI HDDs I have added 2 36 GB 10K SCSI drives in it, they are detected as sdc and sdf. What should I do if I

I just built a workstation, CentOS 7, fully updated. My user requires his three-button mouse, telling me that imaging software is written for three-button mice (so *please* don't tell me to tell him to get a new mouse). Anyway, no cursor. In both /var/log/messages and journalctl, I see "unable to enable mouse". What I read in messages and manpages is that PS-2 is default

Greetings - I had a logical volume that was running out of space on a virtual machine. I successfully expanded the LV using lvextend, and lvdisplay shows that it has been expanded. Then I went to expand the filesystem to fill the new space (# resize2fs -p /dev/vde1) and I get the results that the filesystem is already xx blocks long, nothing to do. If I do a # df -h, I can see that the

Greetings - This may be a little off-topic here so if someone wants to point me to a more appropriate mailing list I would appreciate it. I administer the network for my small company and am preparing to install a new server in the next month or so. It will be running CentOS 6 and function primarily as a Samba file server to 10 Windows workstations (XP, Vista, 7). It will also host our
