"During initial setup" is vague. Lots of stuff happens during startup. With systemd, you can control what triggers your

Folks I have several remotely-located servers, donated by folks not all of whom are computer geeks, let-alone Linux aware. In earlier versions of Centos, I directed them to perform a minimal NetInstall (not too difficult to direct over the phone), and then issue two commands after the first boot. One was a 'curl' to download a script of mine, and the second was a dot-command to run

Is it not possible to use an nfs based repo for kickstart under CentOS 7.5? E.g. repo --name=epel --baseurl=file://server/path/to/local/copy/of/epel With trial and error I figured out that this is the correct syntax to use for an nfs-based repo. But packages from this repo in the %packages section are not found. You have specificed that the package 'bla' should be installed. This

Dear Experts, Could somebody point to kicstart HOWTO specific for CentOS 7? On CentOS 7 I somehow am always given human intervention questions about drive which defeats unattended ks install. <rant ??> I'm doing kickstart installations for quite some time, normally I was just installing system when new release comes, and am basing kickstart file on anaconda-ks.cfg - with some

I was trying to think of a way to set compression=on at the beginning of a jumpstart. The only idea I''ve come up with is to do so with a flash archive predeployment script. Has anyone else tried this approach? Thanks, Chad -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi, We've got some units in client's vehicles which are running Fedora core 1. We've can log into them over ssh remotely there is no console attached to them. I suspect one of them has some filesystem corruption, and I'd like to both force a fsck at next reboot (which I think I can do with shutdown -F) but I'd also like to make this fsck not require any human intervention.

Hi all, I still use the following kickstart partition scheme for C7 installations (via virt-install): Briefly, fixed size for /root and /boot, and the rest is filled up for /srv. The same kickstart (despite that c7 uses vda, f29 uses sda) doesn't work with Fedora29 (EL8). I get a "device is too small for new format" error. Any hints? part /RESCUE --fstype="ext4"

Hi All: Using the following line, I am trying to install Scientific Linux (a RHEL derivative like CentOS), but the installer never sees my kickstart file : virt-install -n test-dev1 --ram=1024 --vcpus=2 --file=/dev/zvol/dsk/zfs_pool/xen/lss-kickstart1/root \ --file=/dev/zvol/dsk/zfs_pool/xen/lss-kickstart1/swap \ --file=/dev/zvol/dsk/zfs_pool/xen/lss-kickstart1/nfs \ --accelerate

Hi folks, As a breather from the "thread-now-wider-than-my-headers-window-in-thunderbird" conversation re: mixing repos, I have a question regarding a machine I'm about to put online. :) I run a web hosting company and my secondary (primary to the world) DNS box died from a massive rootkit/hack last night. It was running an old Slackware 9.1 installation and I will be completely

I have a new ESXi server (5.x), and trying to load some VM guests on there. I have the guests configured, but when I try and boot from ISO image, the graphics are so bad it is futile. No worries I normally use kickstart anyways. Because the ESXi (on the same network as my physical servers) cannot talk to the PXE server. But works fine on the network (I can ssh/scp in and out of the ESXi

Hello puppet users, I know this is not really a puppet thing but i wanted to know what tools do you use for server provisionning ? I have to build quite a lot of servers for a prject and i need to instal them. Of course puppet take care of the configuration but i wondered if some of you use things like FAI . It seems that i could use puppet to script FAI to install machines. What do you

Hello, I just got back from a datacenter where I installed a new server running CentOS 5.3. I set up a software raid with md0 being /. (Only one mount, didn't split anything up.) I just discovered that instead of raid 1, it did raid 0... Not exactly what I wanted! Probably missed that little check when installing. So now, I need to change this. But since the whole OS is on this raided
