similar to: CentOS 7 /boot location

Now don't go bugging people asking when CentOS 6.7 will be out. "When it's ready." In upgrading from RHEL 6.6 to 6.7, I did find that I had to disable my 3rd party repos (elrepo and epel) in order to avoid yum erroring out. Plus I did the usual "yum clean all". (I don't use the PackageKit GUI as it's been unable to complete for quite a few months without

I've got a fresh CentOS 7 test machine, fully patched. The command: shutdown -h now surprisingly does not halt the machine. Instead it reboots it. WTF? I found the following Debian discussion which seems to be the same issue: <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=766338> However, removing kexec-tools in this case did not solve the problem. Nor does

I have a CentOS 6 machine that was initially installed as CentOS 6.4 in May of 2013. It's /boot filesystem is 200M which, IIRC, was the default /boot size at the time. The most recent kernel update (2.6.32-573.18.1.el6) fails because of lack of space in /boot. The workaround is edit /etc/yum.conf, reduce installonly_limit from 5 to something lower (I used 3), remove the oldest kernel via

Hi all! I'm still on C6. I'm using a RAID1 configuration (Linux software RAID) and I'd like to either use the same one, or possibly configure it on new drives (larger) when I upgrade to C7. (I'm really feeling the need to move off C6.) But it isn't at all obvious how one would do a new RAID1 setup in Anaconda, and I don't find any user reports or other info on this in the

It's time to purchase hardware again, and I'm going through the usual "of that which is on the market, what will CentOS run without leaving new hardware collecting dust for a year"? I'm looking at a number of commodity-grade machines (ie: desktop grade will suffice) with reasonably fast CPUs and able to use at least 8GB each (preferably 32GB). These will be deployed as

Or just use an old mechanical drive instead. Any issue with that drive will show up as IO Wait - my presumption is that you expect to see that so you're not mentioning it but it's going to

Hello, Are there any KVM over IP switches that are not thousands of dollars? Ideally a 3-4 port switch for a few hundred seems reasonable to me. Mike -- Michael B Allen Java Active Directory Integration http://www.ioplex.com/

Saturday I did an upgrade from 5.3 (original install) to 5.4. Saturday night, /etc/cron.weekly reported the following: /etc/cron.weekly/99-raid-check: WARNING: mismatch_cnt is not 0 on /dev/md0 md0 holds /boot and resides, mirrored, on sda1 and sdb1. md1 holds an LVM volume containing the remaining filesytems, including swap.

We have a "compute cluster" of about 100 machines that do a read-only NFS mount to a big NAS filer (a NetApp FAS6280). The jobs running on these boxes are analysis/simulation jobs that constantly read data off the NAS. We recently upgraded all these machines from CentOS 5.7 to CentOS 6.5. We did a "piecemeal" upgrade, usually upgrading five or so machines at a time, every few

Does anyone have the magic incantation required to getting *independent* multi-monitors going under CentOS 7? Ideally under xfce or trinity, but I'm interested about GNOME/KDE observations as well. I'm trying to move my main workstation from CentOS5 to CentOS7 and while the spanned desktop works, not having independent monitors really cuts into my productivity. i.e.: I couldn't

It looks like someone pooched a domain transfer, and the whois entry for centos.org is missing its NS records. I've sent an email to the whois tech contact @redhat, but I'm sending this to the list to hopefully bring it to someone else's attention, as well. Hopefully it gets gets out before my mailserver expires its DNS cache for centos.org. Expect centos.org to be offline for a bit

I'm not sure if this is helpful to anyone else and I can't decide if it's mildly clever or just a stupid pet trick, really. I recently decided to reinstall my work laptop with centos. as part of the install I used an 8g sandisk USB drive; it's roughly the size of a wireless mouse receiver. I put /boot, / and /usr on the USB drive, set encrypted partitions for swap, /home, /opt,

Ok, trying to bypass the usual flames (I used CDE for years, then KDE until it got dumbed-down too much, and we all know how GNOME has turned out) ... I've decided to try out xfce on CentOS 7. I grabbed xfce from epel by installing the following via yum: epel-release @xfce So far it's pretty good, and is giving me the basic features I'm looking at without getting in my way.
