Ignoring /run/user/X
We are running into an issue relating to snmpd and the temporary partitions
created in /run/user/ so any insight by someone with magical
net-snmp skills would be much appreciated.
Our monitoring app walks all our servers.
We modify /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf on all our servers to just have one line:
rocommunity ourcommnuityname monitor.ing.app.ip
This has worked just fine for almost 10 years.

CENTOS 7.2.1511 Multipath and boot from SAN issue
Hi all,
I'm running a Centos 7.2.1511 freshly installed on a SAN device. Everything is fine on the SAN side, but I have an issue with multipath or udev or systemd, I'm not sure.
I when I boot my machine with the multipathd service enabled at boot, boot fails beacause some partitions on the multipathed device are missing from /dev.

Expanding an LVM Storage Pool
I looked around but could not find any info on how to expand a libvirt managed LVM storage pool. I do not see any virsh command to do it
but I was successful using the vgexpand command to add some more storage once I destroyed the pools and then restarted it.
I'd like to verify that this is the proper way to grow the storage in a libvirt LVM storage pool. And this brings up a second

Kickstart just create /boot, recommended swap and / with whatever is left.
Howdy,
The default partitioning scheme appears to be:
swap
/boot
/ small amount of space
/home remainder of space.
Is there any way via kickstart to have it just create swap with the recommended size, /boot, and then just / with the remainder without manually specifying the names of the lvs/vgs etc?
I figured there would be an autopart -atomic option but that doesn't seem to exist.

Device enumeration during kickstart
By default, a kickstart installation will spread the configured partitions
over all disks that are found, and the only way around that is to use
--ondisk or ignoredisk. But I was wondering how reliable this method is.
E.g. if there are four SATA ports on the system board, can I blindly
assume that port one will always correspond to sda, port two to sdb,
and so on? Can I assume that a second

Kickstart putting /boot on sda2 (anaconda partition enumeration)?
Does anyone know how anaconda partitioning enumerates disk partitions when
specified in kickstart? I quickly browsed through the anaconda installer
source on github but didn't see the relevant bits.
I'm using the centOS 6.10 anaconda installer.
Somehow I am ending up with my swap partition on sda1, /boot on sda2, and
root on sda3. for $REASONS I want /boot to be the partition #1 (sda1)

questions on kickstart
I have 2 questions dealing with 2 different kickstart files.
1) my kickstart sections for RAID disk setup and kickstart reports it
cannot find sda. Why is that. sda is there and works.

part raid.01 --asprimary --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="raid"

anaconda not installing to sda?
I'm having what appears at first glance to be a kickstart+anaconda issue on CentOS 7.4.
As near as I can tell in the program.log in the anaconda environment, the partitioning instructions downloaded with the kickstart from cobbler appear to simply not be applied. Then /mnt/sysimage is not mounted, the logs are not copied to /mnt/sysimage/root and the installation stalls due to the anamon

kickstart raid disk partitioning
Hello.
A couple of years ago I installed two file-servers
using kickstart. The server has two 1TB sata disks
with two software raid1 partitions as follows:
# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1]
md1 : active raid1 sdb4[1] sda4[0]
933448704 blocks [2/2] [UU]
md0 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda2[2](F)
40957568 blocks [2/1] [_U]

Kickstart and CentOS 6 episode 2...
Hey,
I solved my "The installation source given by device ['sdb2'] could not be found".
Apparently ignoredisk is so strong it not only ignores the disks to be partitioned but also the disks holding the installation source...
Now I ran into:

In anaconda.log I saw:

CentOS 8 installer bug
Has anyone managed to create an encrypted disk partition with CentOS 8 kickstart?
1 reqpart --add-boot

3 part pv.1 --size=1 --grow --ondrive=sda --encrypted --pashphrase="bla"
4 volgroup vol0 pv.100000
5 logvol / --vgname=vg_00 --name=lv_root --size=102400 --fstype=ext4

No matter what I specify in line 3, the installer bombs out.

Cluster installation CentOS 7.4 network problems
Hi there,
after using Foreman successful on our clusters for more than a year. I'd
like to reinstall a 90 node cluster with Centos 7.4. It's now running on
Centos 7.3 . I'm not able to just update to 7.4 because of zfsonlinux
dependencies and well - some nodes died and had to bare metal install them.
So I was able to install these nodes successfully by pxe-booting and
using a
