Hi All, I'm trying to figure out where the inittab is for a pxeboot/kickstart installation so that I can disable virtual terminals that allow for interactive input such as CTRL+ALT+F2. I've looked in the /etc directories for the pxeboot initrd as well as the stage2 and minstg2 files. Am I missing something grossly obvious here? -- James A. Peltier Systems Analyst (FASNet),

Hi All, For those testing EXT4 I seem to have found an issue with anaconda where by if you specify EXT4 fstype in your kickstart file it will not install and complains that if needs another 250MB of disk space. I've tried with my kickstart set for 10G for root at ext3 and it works fine. 10,15 and 20GB with EXT4 all fail. BTW: can't put /boot on it either. Just a heads up for all.

I have a 5.4TB file system, ext4, that currently is reporting problems, however, every time I run fsck.ext4 on the file system, it grows to more than 17GB. Can anyone tell me WTF is going on here?

Is anyone currently using CentOS 5.5 with 2008 R2 AD authentication and a fully Kerberized NFSv4? If so would you mind sharing your configuration with me? I have been able to successfully get it working with Windows 2003 as discussed earlier on the list http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2010-July/096374.html With the exception that I had to use dynamic UIDs on the machine since we

Hi All, I'm having a bit of difficulty getting a CentOS 5.5 Kerberized NFSv4 server working. This server is configured as a Winbind client to a Windows 2003 Active Directory. I've successfully bound it to AD and I am able to authenticate. I've successfully created a NFSv4 entry in /etc/exports to export the /exports directory and I can successfully mount a non-Kerberized NFSv4

Hi All, I just enabled nscd to see if I can speed up some operations on our large NFS/NIS environment, however, now that I've enabled nscd I am no longer able to sudo. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Everything was working fine prior to enabling it. -- James A.

Hi All, I have this very odd issue where after a migration we have some users who have quotas showing 8192.0EB in use, when in reality on disk there is only a couple hundred megabytes. The host in question is a: * CentOS 6.3 host with mostly latest patches (except latest glibc patches) * running in SELinux Enforcing mode (Permissive doesn't seem to help) * all file systems are on Logical

Hi All, I have a very strange problem that I'm unable to pinpoint at the moment. For some reason I am simply unable to get xfs_quotas to report correctly on a freshly installed, fully patched CentOS 6 box. I have specified all the same options as on another machine which *is* reporting quota LABEL=TEST /exports/TEST xfs inode64,nobarrier,delaylog,usrquota,grpquota 0 0 xfs_quota -xc

Hi All, Is there something similar to apt-cacher available for CentOS? I would like to ensure that an application is only downloaded once to the network and not hundreds of times. If there isn't an equivalent, would someone please point me in the direction of how I might accomplish this with CentOS? -- James A.

Completely off topic, but I'm sure someone out there is using scripts that require a sudo password of some sort, so I'll ask. What are people doing to automate tasks that required sudo passwords in order to run? sudo without a password is not an option for me, but I would like to be able to enter the password once have it saved and then read back when sudo is required. something

Maybe I missed something, but it appears that the CR repository is not compatible with yum priorities & possibly repository protection. I had priority=1 set on [base] and [updates] and no updates appeared. However, when I removed priority updates from cr became visible. Is this expected? Did I miss this announcement on -devel or such because I searched but couldn't find it. -- James
