similar to: Remote update OS from 6 to 7

I have older systems out there that work fine, just for what ever reason would be great to upgrade from a C5 -> C7 (due to no longer supported) or C6 > C7 (for updated packages). Sounds like the upgrade tool is not quite an option... I was thinking... What would be wrong with any "easy" script that did the following: 1) Removed all packages with the --justdb option. 2) Import

I want to move all my OS, services like Apache configuration and application (web server) files and folders to another brand new server. Both servers are running on Centos 7. i want to clone everything. My questions 1- what is the easiest way to do this? 2- do I need to partition hard-drive of new server exactly as old one? 3- Is there any changes to make on new server after full migration? 4-

The objective is not to cherry pick updates, but rather to install a second system with packages that match the first system. After fine-tuning the installed packages and stripping out the

Hi, I just found myself having to set up a new CentOS 6 system with a nearly identical configuration to an existing host, so I thought I would just 1. Do a minimal install to set up partitions etc. on the new system. 2. Create an image of the existing system using Clonezilla (http://www.clonezilla.org) 3. Run a Clonezilla restore on the new system. - as I though it would be a lot

I manage a set of CentOS operations workstations which are all clones of each other (3 "live" and 1 "spare" kept powered down); each has a single drive with four partitions (/boot, /, /home, swap). I've already set up cron'd rsync jobs to copy the operations accounts between the workstations on a daily basis, so that when one fails, it is a simple, quick process to swap

Thanks Mr. Roth! That's nice and methodical. I do like how you can revert by simply remounting the previous directories. I'm going to try both. I'm still hopeful that a simple tar -xf server.tgz into the chrooted "/" is possible. At linuxquestions.org, one user suggests it can be done by exempting the following: /proc /sys /dev /tmp /var I'm thinking the tarball thing

What is happening in centos 5 with network config files??? I have a machine with 2 network cards. ifcfg-eth1 keeps changing to DHCP. All my static setup is gone. Why is it doing this? How can I stop it? I run "netconfig -d eth1" and re-setup my static information. I reboot and now I am back to DHCP. I have a gigabyte motherboard, nvidia chipset. forcedeth driver. eth0 is e1000.

I have not see this before... Installing centos 5 on m2n-mx motherboard the onboard forcedeth driver loads and says invalid mac address "97:42:40:F3:18:00" Anyone else ever seen this before? Is it fixable? I went to support.asus.com and searched for "invalid mac address" they say sorry no data. Jerry

Hi, We have file readahead to do asyn file read, but has no metadata readahead. For a list of files, their metadata is stored in fragmented disk space and metadata read is a sync operation, which impacts the efficiency of readahead much. The patches try to add meatadata readahead for btrfs. In btrfs, metadata is stored in btree_inode. Ideally, if we could hook the inode to a fd so we could use

X does not seem to understand automagically the change in video even though the new video info is in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf So what steps are needed to get X fixed?
