I'm running CentOS 5.2 x x86_64. I did an lvextend of a logical volume, and proceeded to run one of the ext2 utilities (e.g. ext2online, ext2resize) and found to my surprise that it wasn't on there. So I started googling around, and as far as I can see, though I'm not sure, they're supposed to be a part of the e2fsprogs package. Well, it's installed on the system, at least

Greetings On centos 5, if I ssh in as a regular non-superuser account and go to the sbin dir to issue a reboot command, it wont do it as says you must be superuser If you are on the console logged in as a non-superuser account and do the same thing, it will reboot. Is this a feature, or a bug? - rh

is there a utility or SOME method to determine which /dev/videoX (like /dev/video0 or /dev/video1) is being used by a device???

I have a system with Fedora installed on the partition with label "/". Can I install CentOS on a new empty partition (/dev/cciss/c0d3p1), or do I need to remove the "/" label on the Fedora partition and change Fedora's fstab to mount by physical partition? I'd like to keep Fedora as a fall-back OS until I have CentOS completely up and working. My Fedora fstab:

Where might I find an rpm for Centos?

Hello, What is the best way to get the xen enabled CentOS 5.2 vmlinuz and initrd images for use as a guest domain (domU) on Ubuntu host domain (dom0). Is there a site where these are available? I am hoping that I could use the vmlinuz from the latest kernel rpm, if I go that route, how could I generate the initrd image given that my host is Ubuntu? These are for use with post install of domU,

We had some custom additions to our site.py file for a third party application. 'yum update' to 4.6 overwrote the file with no backup or warning. Not hard to repair, but it did have me worried there for a few minutes when the application failed to start. Is this a python issue, an upstream issue or a CentOS issue? Can something be done about it going forward? Jeff

Does anyone know in centos how to create an md5sum list based on the current rpms that I have installed right now on my box? I tried something like rpm -q -v | md5sum >> list but didnt work. Andrew

Unless I've missed something (which is possible) there hasn't been any "public progress announcements" regarding rpmfusion in the past several weeks. Is there anything new to report?

Or phones that work with Centos. I am making headway on my SIP testing, but I need a a couple (or 3) USB headphones or phones. I remember back quite at time ago I had problems with one with volume control (ie none!). So I am looking for a cheap USB headphone or 'real' VoIP phone. I am using SIP Communicator as my client.

I want to put the document root for an application on a separate paritition that has more space. When I try to configure this I can't access the files in the new location. I've got the SELinux attributes set on the directory and its files, so I'm thinking it's something about the parent path that SELinux doesn't like, but I don't know where that's handled. My

I have the firewall turned on my CentOS 5 box, but GRC is reporting that 631 is closed instead of stealthed. If the firewall isn't configured to allow that, then why might that be happening? Miark
