Hello All, I guess it is very common for administrative purpose, to dump and restore a CentOS 7 system. I usually use dump/restore commands. However, I?m having trouble to handle installing bootloader and creating initramfs for C7 system. Does anyone know a good document source that details those procedure? Thank you, Xinhuan Zheng

Hello, Today I searched redhat official portal and learned that Sendmail is considered deprecated. By default, CentOS 7 will use postfix as MTA. I need good advise on what it means to us. We are CentOS customers. We use that operating system for quite a few years. We rely on Sendmail for years for us to relay large quantity of emails to our customers for marketing purpose. We build our additional

Hi, I am recovering a CentOS 5.4 system. I've copied all partitions into the recovery system. I've installed grub boot loader. However, the original system is using /dev/sdb1 for root (/), while the recovery system is using LVM (/dev/vg0/lv1) for root (/). When recovery system boots, I got the panic error: * Mounting /dev/sdb1 on /sysroot * Mount: mounting

Hello Everyone, We are using CentOS 5 system for certain application. Those are VM guests running in VMware. There is datastore issue occasionally, causing all file systems becoming read only file systems. So application stop working, and opened files cannot be written either. We cannot even ssh login to the system. Typically we had to power cycle the VM. We are trying to add reliability to the

Hello CentOS list, I have a requirement that I need to use encryption technology to encrypt very large tar file on a daily basis. The tar file is over 250G size and those are data backup. Every night the server generated a 250G data backup and it?s tar?ed into one tarball file. I want to encrypt this big tarball file. So far I have tried two technologies with no success. 1) generating RSA 2048

Hi All, I have a Quantum scalar i40 tape library. I need to configure it to TWO tape partition libraries, e.g., library_a and library_b, so that each library has its own tape drive. Then connect this physical tape library to two different CentOS servers so that each server can see its own media changer and tape drive. I once had a successful configuration on one host but NOT on the other. One

Hello Community, i would like to configure roaming profiles with my samba4 dc. Im using this documenation: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Implementing_roaming_profiles Below the topic "Profile share using Windows ACLs", the first step ist setup a share named "Profiles". What specific share permissions ( not ACLs) must be applied for a the "Profiles" share?

Hello, We need to manage isolated network environment so that even though host name and ip address could be same, but they are located in isolated network environment so that?s not a problem. However, that would be very challenging to build a server in such an isolated environment. For example, we could do kickstart to build a server in non-isolated network environment, but for isolated one, we

Dear All, Below question has been puzzled me for a while, and don?t know if anyone has experienced such puzzle: You have an external array attached to a physical hardware. The operating system is CentOS 5. The file system is created on top of LVM on external array & mounted. The CentOS 5 can see the array controller, and manage all LVM configuration, etc. There is data stored in that

By default, CentOS 7 will use postfix as MTA. That was an excellent decision I welcomed the day RedHat made it.

Though I can not answer OP's question, I have question of my own. Is this really routine (often) task for Linux sysadmins? I used something like that to replicate cluster nodes in the past, but kickstart would be routine task for

Hi, Syslogd has an option "-a socket". According to man page, this additional sockets is limited to 19. Currently I do need to have more than 19 sockets that syslogd needs to listen on. How can I accomplish that if I don't want to change syslogd.c code? Thanks, - xinhuan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi, I need to configure yum to limit the number of URLs going out for security reason. I don't find a configuration for include option. I do find an exclude option in /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf. It would be impossible to exclude every url in this file. What is the best way to limit the traffic going out interest for yum? Is the local network repository a better way or does

Hello, Thanks for all feedback I got. I am pretty sure that if I used ?openssl enc? method, it is able to handle large file over 250g size perfectly. I think openssl installed on the system is capable of doing large file support. However, when using ?openssl smime?, it is not able to. Apparently it?s smime method limitations, not the openssl. Other than smime and enc, what other methods can I use
