I have tried to create a livecd from Centos 4.4, it require to compile unionfs as a module. I'm using Centos kernel source kernel-2.6.9-42.EL.src.rpm and unionfs v1.1.5 but its giving error while compiling. <http://mirror.linux.duke.edu/pub/centos/4.4/os/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.9-42.EL.src.rpm> Is anyone having success story building centos livecd from scratch? --beast

G'day ... David Schultz, in his spare time, has been working through some of the issues I've been able to 'tweak' in the unionfs code ... as he is currently working on forward-patching it to -CURRENT right now, he can't commit the code to the -STABLE tree ... in order to allow others using unionfs to test the patch (I've been running it a few weeks now on a very heavily

Is it possible to emulate a unionfs with zfs and zones somehow? My zones are sparse zones and I want to make part of /usr writable within a zone. (/usr/perl5/mumble to be exact) I can''t just mount a writable directory on top of /usr/perl5 because then it hides all the stuff in the global zone. I could repopulate it in the local zone but ugh that is unattractive. I''m hoping

Hello listmates, It appears that on the second machine in a row (CentOS 5.5, 32 bit) if I am trying to place a VM into a file located in XFS the machine just hangs (the host machine, not the VM). If I place the VM in a raw device or in a file in ext3 all seems to work perfectly. Is that just a coincidence or is there a reason for this madness? Thanks. Boris.

Hi people Just switched to Dovecot yesterday, and I've already got about five reports of users with duplicate mail in their inbox :-/. Not as bad as lost email, mind you, but pretty annoying still. Checking the server log, it says: postfix/smtpd: disconnect from unknown deliver: msync() failed with index file maildir/dovecot.index: Input/output error unionfs: new lower inode mtime

I have finally gotten one version of windows 2003 r2 x64 installed as a guest. The bad news is no network. The network tab says it''s a realtek 8139 when I know it is a intel. I tried downloading the intel drivers and they wont install says it''s the wrong hard ware. Is this common that it uses a 8139 as a generic network card? Also the network card shows The

Joe, Agree with you on turning this around into something more positive. One aspect that would really help us decide on our next steps here is the actual number of deployments that will be affected by the removal of the gluster driver in Cinder. If you are running or aware of a deployment of OpenStack Cinder & Gluster, can you please respond on this thread or to me & Niels in private

I want to install centos 4.4 in a CF card and use a ram disk for operations. It means no hard disk attached to the computer. The machine will only run an antispam antivirus gateway. What documents can I read to make /var and /tmp sit on a ram disk and boot the operating system in read write and switch to read only after booting? thanks, --

Hi list, is it possible to add multiple homedir templates to smb.conf ? I have a running linuxsystem where homefilesets are mounted from different windows-servers to subdirs like: /home/server01/home/USERNAME /home/server02/home/USERNAME /home/server03/home/USERNAME The users come via winbind. In the smb.conf the entry for the homedir: template homedir = /home/%U So how is it possible to

Hi, I''ve been trying to boot from a RHEL4 install iso without much luck (the xen way). The Host is: RHEL 5.1 xen-3.0.3-41.el5 Here is my guest config: # -*- mode: python; -*- #============================================================================ # Python configuration setup for ''xm create''. # This script sets the parameters used when a domain is created using

I noticed the "XXX: what should this be?" w.r.t. COPY_SIZE in sftp-client.c. I made up the following quick patch to allow a new command-line argument, "-B" (for 'buffer' size) to specify this value. I haven't done any strict benchmarking yet, but -B65535 is faster than -B8192 which is much faster than -B16. PS again, I am not on this list, so please CC me any

I am searching for directions for using live block migration to copy running vm's to a different storage pool. Example: VM1 running on HOST1, the image(s) for VM1 are stored in /var/lib/libvirt/images. I'd like to copy the disk image(s) that VM1 is using to /nfs/images. Without stopping/pausing/powering down the VM. Regards, Jamie Ian Fargen

I woke up to a frozen box this morning - it froze up a few more times before I got a handle on it. Basically, the box runs idle but refuses to do disk IO, or does it -very- slowly. Top shows processes stuck in 'ffsvget', 'inode', and 'vlruwk' state. I can get the box responsive again by setting sysctl kern.maxvnods=100000. It starts up with kern.maxnodes=36079. I

Hello, I would like have an automatic way to avoid installing packages that I cannot use due to license restrictions. For example, the conf.design package is limited to non-commercial use, and since I work for a for-profit business, I cannot use it. I found out about the license terms of conf.design by chance; I would like to avoid any possibility of a mistake in the future. Is there some
