So still coming up to speed with mdadm and I notice this morning one of my servers acting sluggish...so when I looked at the mdadm raid device I see this: mdadm --detail /dev/md0 /dev/md0: Version : 0.90 Creation Time : Mon Sep 27 22:47:44 2010 Raid Level : raid10 Array Size : 976759808 (931.51 GiB 1000.20 GB) Used Dev Size : 976759808 (931.51 GiB 1000.20 GB) Raid

So I am trying to rebuild this source rpm from fedora 10, shutter-0.85.1-1.fc10.src.rpm -its a screen capture application ( http://shutter-project.org/ ) that I have been unable to find in any repos, although it is in the fedora repos. Thought I would give it a go and try to rebuild the rpm, so here is the error that I am getting: + desktop-file-install --delete-original --dir

I know of the issue using vmware server 2.0.2 and centos 5.4, but is their any reason not to use the .rpm install of for centos? I have always used the .tar file but this time used the rpm and it appeared to install and not crash. I went ahead and did the glib correction but I was wondering if using the rpm was not the rght thing to do, Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

Hi, Does anyone know of a good program for doing RDP to windows servers on C-7? The "Remote desktop viewer" program that comes with C7 is not reliable for me. I frequently have multiple long running RDP sessions and the keyboard will stop responding. The only way I can find to get it started again is to restart the program and login to the servers again. In addition, I cannot find a

Setting up a new backuppc for a small group of device and I am running centos 5.4 with winbind setup and working. Everything is working and I would like the users to authenicate using their AD creds and was wondering what folks are using to do that with apache 2.2 and centos 5.4. I know about mod_auth_pam but that seems pretty dead so I was just wondering what folks were using and whats the

I finally have got around to installing centos 7 and usually do a pretty minimal installation, I chose the virtualization host, since that will be the primary purpose. However I have hit a snag, I usually install xfce from epel and go along my way but there appears to be a bug in the xfce package: Error: Package: xfdesktop-4.10.2-2.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requires: desktop-backgrounds-basic

Hoping someone can help me fix something that I apparently messed up, i have the issue that when I untar a file as root the uid and gid that get set are not roots'. I had change a user uid and gid to 1000 via usermo -u etc.... but somehow it appears to have effected the root user. When I touch files as root the correct uid and gid are root, however when untaring an archive the directory and

I have been reading lots of stuff but trying to find out if a raid10 2drive setup is any better/worse than a normal raid 1 setup....I have to 1Tb drives for my data and a seperate system drive, I am only interested in doing raid on my data... So i setup my initial test like this.... mdadm -v --create /dev/md0 --chunk 1024 --level=raid10 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 I have also read

So I have been playing with a RAID 10 f2 ( 2 disks far layout) setup...thanks for all of the advice..Now I am playing with the format and want to make sure I have it setup the best that I can, my raid was built using the raid 10 option with 2 disks with the layout=far, chunk size 512....now I read all of the docs I could find about format and stride and stripe size and this is what i came up

Hi, I was using yum for years on CentOS servers, and since a few years ago dnf on Fedora desktops. My question is: Is the same yum4 on CentOS 8 that dnf? What should I use? Thanks in advance -- -- Sergio Belkin LPIC-2 Certified - http://www.lpi.org

Keep it simple,
