Hopefully simple question
Is there a way to determine what the hypervisor default NIC is? I'm using kvm/libvirt/qemu. If this is the wrong forum please please reply with that.

Re: Is there still no easier way to shrink a VM image?
Thanks for letting me know I'm not making myself clear, let me try again with a few more specifics, These are Windows VMs with three disk images for C:, D: and L:. To simplify I'll focus on the image for C: which had grown to 77G physical size on the hypervisor's ssd (I just double-checked that with 'ls -al' because qemu-img below says 70G, this image had two snapshots at one

Insert/eject USB
Is it possible to insert and eject a USB image in kvm/qemu/libvirt or are the only dynamically changeable devices cdroms and floppies? I've searched the web and I'm either not looking for the right terms or it's obscure. I should mention that I'm not talking about a connecting a physical host USB drive to a guest image, I want to be able to use a qcow image as the source.

Is there still no easier way to shrink a VM image?
I have numerous qcow2 images which need to be reduced in size and have their maximum size (virtual size) reduced. Physical disk space became so low that VMs "auto-paused" themselves, I moved enough images to solve the immediate problem but need to rectify the underlying issue. It seems that qcow[2] files are grown in size such that the data inside of them takes about 50-60% of the

how to know when a system is compromised
Once upon a time, Leroy Tennison <leroy at datavoiceint.com> said: > The executable could be placed on mounted read-only media That's not as secure as you think. Linux bind mounts can mount a file over another file (plus there's overlay filesystems), so it's possible to replace a binary even on a read-only device. -- Chris Adams <linux at cmadams.net>

Need help to fix bug in rsync
Since you state that using -z is almost always a bad idea, could you provide the rationale for that?

USB-serial adapter for CentOS 7
I need to connect an older APS UPS unit to a machine running CentOS 7. Unfortunately the UPS only has a serial port whereas the computer does not. I am aware that there are USB-serial adapters but that the hardware or the drivers might fall short of expectations. Does anyone have positive experience with such an adapter? Or, conversely, would recommend avoid a particular adapter?

tsocks or equivalent for CentOS 7
Does such exist? I looked for dante and couldn't find that. I found and tried using a version from CentOS 6 but it didn't work. If anyone can point me to an rpm (or set of same) I would most certainly appreciate it. Thanks.

wifi on servers and fedora [was Re: 7.2 kernel panic on boot]
You think this is irritating, what about when you're trying to replicate the network configuration to failover hardware... There is a way around this, I haven't tried it on CentOS but on Ubuntu there are kernel command line parameters: net.ifnames=1 biosdevname=0 which will override this behavior. Again, on Ubuntu these are added in /etc/default/grub as parameters to

[OT] Bacula offsite replication
Hi everyone, I have updated my backup server to CentOS 8.2. It runs bacula performing backup on disks. I would like to replicate backups on another offsite machine. I read about the ability to configure a new storage daemon in the offsite location and create a Migration/Copy Jobs. If I'm not wrong, it replicates only volumes but not replicate the catalog. I will try this. Another way to

easy way to stop old ssl's
Without context it's impossible to make firm statements but, having gone through this a while back (and discovering that less than 1 percent of an examined list of connections couldn't support current ssl - mainly Apple hardware), who do you want to protect? Is it the minority who won't/can't upgrade or the majority who have? And, do you have to protect yourself from liability
