[CentOS-es] Imagenes en Caliente
Hola, soy Manolo Tengo un servidor con: CentOS release 5.2 (Final) 2.6.18-92.1.10 En una LAN, y me interesaría poder hacer Imágenes en caliente. Para las copias de datos posiblemente use un disco externo USB con algún script usando un tar con un mv. Para las copias de BD MySQL, posiblemente usaré un Dump ha ese mismo disco. Pero para realizar la imagen, y sus incrementales (si es posible). Me interesaría poder hacerlas sin apagar el Server. ¿Alguna idea, de cómo poder hacer imágenes en caliente y almacenarlas en el USB? Gracias y saludos a todos. ___ CentOS-es mailing list CentOS-es@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-es

Manolo, Hay un Soft que lo e probado y funciona muy bien es, MONDO RESCUE http://www.mondorescue.org/ Te permite tomar un Backup en caliente del servidor, y te genera una imagen boteable del mismo, para restaurarlo a ese momento, tambien podes restaurar cualquier parte a eleccion del mismo. Yo lo uso para hacer backups de toda mi Notebook y algunos servidores. La instalacion tiene unos pasitos rebuscados, no por dificiles sino porque estan un poco mescladas las dependencias, si necesitas ayuda no dudes en escribir con gusto te armo un tutorial. Espero comentes si lo probas como te resulto. Saludos, Alejandro www.linuxiso.com.ar El día 28 de septiembre de 2008 10:35, Ing.

Zhang Huangbin wrote on Sun, 28 Sep 2008 10:03:51 +0800: I can't configure network and hostname even there is only '%post' left. What' wrong with it? It might help in the future if you would try to phrase your questions in a way that they are not ambiguous and easy to understand. I figure you mean to be able to do a manual installation in the graphical frontend with this kickstart file and just the package selection should be skipped? I remember that when I skip the network command in the kickstart file I'm getting asked for network settings. I don't know why you are not getting asked. It might help to explicitely state the static bootproto without giving IP and hostname in the file.

Re: [CentOS] Problem in Wireless Card Setup in Dell Precision M90
Hello Akemi, Thanks for your reply. I have seen the details in the thread and after reading that thread I have few questions :- 1) Can I install the Centos Plus kernel with the existing one that is distributed with Centos 5.2? I have read the information from the link http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CentOSPlus It looks like that I have to include / exclude the package. I had changed the settings inside /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo. #additional packages that extend functionality of existing packages [centosplus] name=CentOS-$releasever - Plus mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releaseverarch=$basearchrepo=centosplus #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/centosplus/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4 includepkgs=iwl* 2) Now if I am running yum search iwl then it is not giving any result. The main problem at my end is that it is showing two wireless devices but I am not able to join those devices. Can you please tell me how can I troubleshoot wireless settings (like which are the important files that plays important role in wireless setup)? Any document shared on internet that tells us step by step wireless setup would be of great help.

[CentOS] Moving folder just vanished??
Hi all, Can anyone explain or give an clues as to what just happened? I'm running CentOS 5.2 as a desktop with Gnome. Fully up to date, etc. I was dragging a folder of image (.jpg) files to another folder on the same filesystem (LVM ext3) with the mouse and as I dropped the folder into the new folder - poof! - it disappeared like a puff of smoke. I've searched everywhere for the files/and or folder and they are totally gone. I must also point out that the filesystem was an encrypted one using fuse-encfs. In all my years of using Linux, I've never seen this happen before. Sadly I have no backup as I'd just copied them from an SD card to the HDD then formated the card - maybe I was too quick doing that step.

More likely you just can't find it. I suggest using find (man find) to look for one of the files that is contained only in that folder. E.g. find /home/user/ -iname abc.jpg If you don't know a precise file name, surround it with single quotes and use a meta-character, e.g. find /home/user/ -iname 'a*.jpg' Good luck.

The reason you are getting that error is because 2.6.18-92.1.13.el5.centos.plus is *not* available yet and you already have 2.6.18-92.1.13.el5 installed. I would suggest you wait for Johnny Hughes to build the current centosplus kernel. If you would rather not wait, you could remove kernel-2.6.18-92.1.13.el5 for now. In that case, first boot into the previous kernel 2.6.18-92.1.10. After that yum will install 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5.centos.plus normally.

[CentOS] USB external HDD error messages
Hi - relatively inexperienced user here. I installed CentOS 5.2 yesterday (http install via a mirror, worked brilliantly), as well as a new Seagate 1Tb USB external HDD (from the new Xtreme line), for backup/media storage. Using fdisk I put two primary partitions on the Seagate, /dev/sde1 and /dev/sde2 (roughly half the drive each). Then I used mkfs.ext3 on both to create ext3 filesystems on those partitions. My fstab entries look like so: /dev/sde1/mnt/seagate1ext3rw,user,noexec0 0 /dev/sde2/mnt/seagate2ext3rw,user,noexec0 0 I copied some data onto /dev/sde1 and went to bed. This morning, I found a clump of kernel messages on the console (lightly edited from /var/log/messages): kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sde, sector 492896319 kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sde1, logical block 61612032 kernel: EXT3-fs error (device sde1): ext3_readdir: directory #30801921 contains a hole at offset 0 kernel: Aborting journal on device sde1. kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sde, sector 12655 kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sde1, logical block 1574 kernel: lost page write due to I/O error on sde1 kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: Device not ready: 6: Current: sense key: Not Ready kernel: Add.

[CentOS] HAL adds printer twice
Hi, When I want to configure a printer, say an HP Deskjet 940, I install hplip, configure cupsd.conf, open up http://localhost:631 and configure the printer in the CUPS interface. Now whenever I want to print, I see that the selfsame printer is added again, and CUPS mentions it as added by HAL. Is there a way to stop this sort of behaviour?

[CentOS] Network installation from CD
Hi, In a corporate environment we are not allowed to use DHCP/PXE for doing network installations. This means we have to look for other solutions. Our solution is to use an ISO image (mounted via a KVM solution) to kick off the network installation. A big problem currently is that the order of the network interfaces is arbitrary (depends on the order of the drivers loaded) and is not influence by the order of the PCI slots. So in our case we have a bunch of e1000, bnx2 and tg3 in systems we have to install. The first onboard interface (usually tg3 or bnx2) almost never is eth0, but instead can be eth2, eth3 or higher. (Depending on the number of other NICs) This is problematic because Anaconda never gives a very good analysis of why the download of the kickstart fails. Very unpleasant if you want system deployements done by Service Operations. So our solution was to provide ksdevice=MAC-ADDRESS , which works fine in the first phase for downloading the kickstart file, but then the kickstart file again has a network-directive with a --device= parameter to configure the network again in the second phase. Here is where the trouble starts. The --device= cannot handle MAC addresses, in other words if we ommit the --device= parameter we get a list of interfaces, which we do not want because the list does not indicate which one is the right interface. Using ksdevice=bootif and providing BOOTIF=MAC-ADDRESS on the commandline does not help either because the second phase always wants to reconfigure the network. In fact we don't want the second phase to reconfigure the network, we want it to keep the working network configuration from the first phase which worked fine for downloading the kickstart file. So here's my question: Is there a way to have the second phase network configuration NOT take place, or have it use the interface that was correctly downloading the kickstart file ? I could not find it anywhere and none of my tests seem to indicate that this is at all possible.

Perhaps the same switch for all ports. Can you set up those ports, so that for install, they are all on the same VLAN? So it would not matter which interface is used for the install, the IP address you assign it will work on it? My home lab has a number of HP ProCurves, and I will get into the management interface, and set which vlan a port is on if I need to do some installs. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Probably a bad set-up but which one?
I am having a problem that I assume is a set-up problem but I don't know which area to look at to fix it. Hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction. I can't get the simple Perl Hello World script to work. Oh, it does print Hello World OK but it also prints the Content line as text rather than using it as a directive. Two different servers (both CentOs 5) and both IE and Firefox are doing the same thing. I first tried a JavaScript program (free online shopping cart) and it wouldn't work properly. So, I changed to CGI and can't get it working OK either. What does work: CGI/Perl visitor count program. Count.log and main.log exist and get updated and display the updated count in the browser OK. What doesn't work: content line is seen as text. I can't create a file using CGI. I can append to one but I can't create one. I have tried a CGI shopping cart (Commerce) which has an install script. It displays the first page OK but when I click on Continue I get the same page again. The script says clicking on Continue should submit a form (Post) with a name of step2. An IF statement should see that name and go to the step2 subroutine. It doesn't. It falls through to the ELSE and displays the same page. A Print command shows the name is blank after the click. The browser knows about the form because a refresh tells me about the stale form data. I have the AddHandler lines and the ExCGI option in my http config. I have checked that all spelling and cases are OK. Carp Fatal to Browser is not showing any errors. Server error log doesn't seem unhappy either. I have done some searching in news groups and Deja, ooops sorry, Google and didn't find anything that helped.

Since mkfs operates on the raw device there is 'little' risk if you count to 15 after fsck exits and remove... In use, always sync, umount it. The graphical tools to unmount the volume do this for you. Also consider asking if ext2 or another FS is a better choice than ext3. The journal is a busy place and might be a hot spot on the USB flash memory. The journal may also use more blocks than you expect.
