similar to: strange error in df -h

Hi all, Excuse the question as I'm sure those more experienced will find it simple. I've a CentOS5.1 box with six physical drives, two of which are used for nightly rsync backups. Contents of /etc/mtab, /etc/fstab, df and a brief narrative follow: ====================================================== # cat ./fstab /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults

Hi all, Please pardon my newbie-ness on this issue....I've a / partition which is full (quite suddenly, actually) and I'm not sure how to fix this. I've searched for uneeded logs, etc in /var/log and /tmp to no avail. The system is CentOS 5.2 and is not connected to the internet, serves as a local LAN server running stock stuff...sendmail, dovecot, apache..nothing strange or

I am trying to PXE boot an ISO image using ISOLINUX. I am starting small just trying to get anything working but seem to be having problems. I followed the instructions on the isolinux page (http://syslinux.zytor.com/iso.php) but still cannot get it to work. I can get the ISO image to try to load but then it stops at the booting message. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is

Hi all, I've a new CentOS 5 minimalist install; this will be the name server from my prior thread. I have configured eth0 during setup with the static IP the unit will have when in production. During this setup phase, selinux is set to permissive. Setting up on a different network, I did this: dhclient eth0 and successfully got a private address; I also validated that the resolv.conf

Can anyone explain this output what is ID ee and EFI GPT and how is ext2 or ext3 functioning under such a partitioning scheme and more how do i create new partitions on this hard-disk , this is RHEL3 on Itanium . ============================================================================== > [root at advaitha /]# fdisk -l > > Disk /dev/sda: 146.8 GB, 146815737856 bytes > 255

Hi, # uname -a Linux obfuscated.example.com 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Aug 4 20:23:34 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I noticed a few days ago that I'm not getting my logwatch emails to the root account any longer, and while I've definitely been applying updates from base, no other changes have happened on this box. I ran logwatch at the command line: logwatch --detail medium

I performed a test install of CentOS Beta 5 on a system with two ~60 GB drives. When installing CentOS 4 on this system, I normally work thru setting up Software RAID with identically sized partitions on each drive. For my test, the CentOS installer only presented a single drive. I took the default of letting it do what it wanted. After looking over the system I have verified that /boot is

I've recently setup a distributed/replicated cluster and have had an issue with seeing the directories on the cluster. Also, a df -h only shows data from one of the three bricks. The strange behavior doesn't end there. If I log into the 'primary' server as root, then do an ls on the client, the directories appear. However, df -h is still incorrect. I'm not sure exactly

When using ifcfg-eth0:x files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/, should each file (where x increments appropriately) point to DEVICE=eth0:x or DEVICE=eth0:0? I apparently have my alias files all ifcfg-eth0:0 - ifcfg-eth0:7 show DEVICE=eth0:0. Is this right? It seems odd to me and while it does seem odd, the alias IPs are being appropriately responded to, answering pings and nameserver

Hi all, I'm very glad to have found this list as I've made a leap of faith and installed CentOS5 as my new testbed/dev machine. An advance 'thank you' to all more experienced than I for answers and a promise to be concise in my (surely about to become) abundant questions and just as forthcoming with answers I may have to help others.

HI folks, Apologies if this is OT. If it is, please msg me offllist and I'll carry on my searching elsewhere. Where does mysql actually store databases and tables in the filesystem? Thanks in advance -Ray

Hi folks, I've been trying to wrap my head around this for a bit, done my googling and archive searching but I still can't seem to 'get' it. Here goes: I've a spare drive in my CentOS5.1 box, which (for testing now) I mount manually under /mnt/backup I want to backup the /home tree to that box nightly via rsync (cronjob), so I tried this: rsync -avrogz /home/

Hi all, Advance apologies for being slightly OT. Has anyone had successes with installing gphpedit on CentOS 5? There don't seem to be any rpms avail for our distro and I'm far too new to roll my own. Thanks in advance (off - list replies are welcome if that's more appropriate) -Ray

Hi all, CentOS 5.2, not yet updated to 5.3. Based on the alert on udev, I attempted to update udev and libvolume packages with the following result. A check of what's currently on the system reveals udev-095-14.19.el5 which I believe to be the affected version. Is it just that it hasn't rolled out to all the mirrors yet? Thanks in advance, -Ray [root at wh01]# yum clean all

Hi all, With SELinux in permissive mode and iptables running, I'm unable to retrieve directory listings with ftp. stop iptables, and all appears again. This seems to be unrelated to passive/port modes for ftp client. If this is off topic, please let me know offlist and I'll take my question elsewhere. Otherwise I'll repost with output of # iptables status TIA, ~Ray
