I just upgraded a blade server via rsync from another server. Rebuilt the initrd. It boots fine... except that it won't turn on the swap partition. Several times, I've made sure swap was off, then mkswap -L SWAP-sda3 /dev/sda3, but when I do swapon -L SWAP-sda3, it complains it can't find the device for the label. The only thing I find while googling, other than redoing what I've

Has anyone experienced a swap failing to be mounted in domU''s? I created a LVM swap space, ran mkswap and made it available on the same line as the root partition (also on LVM) in each of the domU''s config file. But it fails to be mounted and I''m running without swap space. That wouldn''t be too much of a problem if I had a lot of mem to play with but

Hi. I want to make a snapshot from a logical volume and noticed that there must be enough free disk space in the volume group. Actually there is no free disk space left.

During the install of alpha Centos 4.3 I'm told by the Centos installer that the hard drives can not be found. Hard Drives have been properly configured in the ARC setup. ARC initialization of the drives works fine. I can create windows nt partitions Went thru the list of drivers provided by Centos but the installer has already loaded the the QLogic and Mylex DAC960 controller drivers. I

Avoid passing an empty UUID string to mkswap, which mkswap does not accept (correctly) as new UUID. In addition, print a warning when the UUID of a swap partition changed, since it may require manual fixups in the guest. --- resize/resize.ml | 15 +++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/resize/resize.ml b/resize/resize.ml index fbb2d021b..48c75161d 100644

Hey Listee's I have a CentOS server with 2GB of ram and a swap drive of 4GB; swapon -a shows my swap drive as 4GB with only about 350 bytes in use (which is fine as my server idles with about 350-400MB ram usage so no swap should be in use. However my one and only swap drive had a priority of -1. I had read that the swap drive priority doesn't matter too much because I only have one swap

Hello, I wanted to give wine a test (never used it before), so I went forth and installed it on my - humble but not too lousy system: CPU: Intel Pentium M 1.80GHz Memory: 512MB Graphics controller: ATI RV350 (Mobility Radeon 9600 M10) While I had Windows 2000 on it, I was able to run the good old HalfLife2 pretty nice, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
