Julian Price wrote on Thu, 26 Mar 2009 16:48:36 +: Are you syncing the disk image as one file via the host, or all the files within via the guest? The sync happens as if I had two physical machines. Phys backup logs in to Virt tobebackupped on Phys wherever and syncs Virt tobebackupped to the local storage (be that image, LVM partition or what). I use it to backup to a backup mirror that can take over if the original fails. The complete sync usually takes only a few minutes per VM. (I *could* add a sql flush and lock on the remote side in the custom script that is triggered by the ssh rsync login, but I would need to hold it for longer (during the complete database file sync) as creating a snapshot, of course.) If you are just syncing files in the guest (which I wouldn't protest about) then the methods are not really comparable because the essential point of my approach is that the whole bootable image is backed up, which is desirable to some people for lots of reasons. I'm not sure what you mean. I have two identical and working images after the sync (actually it's two LVM partitions). If I were using images I had two images after that. It's independant of the storage method for your LVM and you can use different storage on both sides. But is has to be created and formatted before you can use it for backup. For your method I think you just need to create the LVM partition (as large or larger than the source), no formatting. It's also possible that my method doesn't work for HVM guests where you may need a bootloader, I'm using only PV CentOS 5 and 4 guests.

Your problem might be confusion about 32 versus 64 bit packages.
Let me guess - you're running a 64bit CentOS (this would explain why the
packages are listed twice)?
To find out about 32/64bit packages it helps to have the following line
in file /etc/rpm/macros:
%_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}
Make sure to install the correct version (32 or 64bit) of Rmpi, and to
tell Rmpi correctly where it should look for the mpi library.

But, there's an old saying that when the code and the documentation differ they are probably both wrong... If you want finer-grained control you should use the --listed-incremental FILE option anyway. If the file doesn't exist, you get a full run and the file is created containing a list of directories traversed. If you specify an existing file, you get an incremental containing newer files plus everything under directories not listed from the previous run - and the file is re-written in place for a next-level incremental. If you want multiple incrementals base from the full you have to save a copy of this file before each incremental for subsequent use. This is the only way to catch older files in their new locations under renamed directories - and it also triggers the mode that permits the restore option of deleting files that weren't present during the run (without it you can run out of space when restoring a series of incrementals). --- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

(In that it didn't want to put blame on anybody) I *do* agree with the sentiment that people should buy RHEL for stuff they consider critical. Or just change distro if they think they get a better deal elsewhere. Which is what I normaly do, unless management decides they can get away cheaper and in essence get RHEL + updates for free with CentOS. The CentOS team certainly doesn't owe me CentOS 5.3 by now - in the same way I can't really complain about a late (again) FreeBSD release. While I love CentOS, think the team does the best possible job, and appreciate the work they put into undoing the restrictions on redistribution by the upstream distro, I have to wonder if it isn't time to just switch to a base distribution that doesn't impose those restrictions that force the extra work and delays in the first place. Is there still any reason other than having to learn to type 'apt-get' instead of 'yum' to prefer Centos over Ubuntu? I think for me it is just that I started with RH before they imposed the redistribution restriction nonsense and have been too lazy to change administration styles (and debian's release-when-it's-ready schedule wasn't attractive at the time). On a test machine I've noted that Ubuntu worked with the wireless adapter where Centos didn't, Sun Java is included, and the update mechanism seems faster and better suited to caching proxies.

But it still feels slightly weird and unfamiliar. Are there reasons to not trust it? I think it's safe to assume that the majority of CentOS users out there run CentOS on servers, not on desktops/laptops/etc. I have been using Debian for 11 years(since hamm), and use it on all of my personal desktops. I have used Ubuntu on my laptops. With Debian 5.0 coming out recently I may make my next laptop run that. I haven't had a need to use a laptop on a regular basis in over a year now so my laptops are collecting dust for the most part(still use it for travel when I travel). I know there are some, but I am not one that uses CentOS(or RHEL) on a desktop system. CentOS/RHEL make great server systems for many types of servers(I prefer debian on my personal gear because of the larger, supported package repositories). My work gear is much larger scale so I put together manually package dependencies and special versions of some packages to distribute across tens or hundreds of systems as-needed. My personal server doesn't need such attention or else I might use CentOS there too. I have no problem myself in CentOS being weeks/months behind RHEL. I still have legacy systems running RHEL 3 Update 3. And they are not going to get updated, just re-installed from scratch when I have time to get to them. All of the systems I manage are fairly well protected and generally only have trusted users that interact with them, internet-facing services are entirely 3rd party packages(e.g. java+tomcat), maintained independently of the OS, so security risks are very low. I'm still going through the list of older RHEL 4 Update 4 systems and getting them re-installed with something newer, at this rate maybe another 3-4 months, at which point it may be time to be able to widely deploy CentOS 5. The main reason for going back and updating things isn't because the OS is old it's more because the management and configuration on those older systems is so broken the only way to fix them safely is to re-install. If you want another distribution, go to another distribution, I can't imagine why CentOS would want to base themselves on Ubuntu when you can already get Ubuntu pretty easily for free. CentOS/RHEL have their places they provide a valuable service to the world. As far as I know our F5 load balancers are based on CentOS(they were as of a few years ago, I'm not sure if F5 has changed their distribution since, I suspect not, is based on RHEL-3), and our recently purchased high performance Exanet NAS cluster runs on CentOS 4.4. While my back end storage array from 3PAR runs on Debian. Not everyone needs the latest greatest, not everyone needs the most current security updates. Make your own risk assessments based on your environment and use what makes you feel comfortable to sleep at night. I don't see a need for CentOS to change a thing, hopefully they can get more support if they need it, I try to help as best I can on the list answering other's questions. nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Or just change distro if they think they get a better deal elsewhere. Which is what I normaly do, unless management decides they can get away cheaper and in essence get RHEL + updates for free with CentOS. The CentOS team certainly doesn't owe me CentOS 5.3 by now - in the same way I can't really complain about a late (again) FreeBSD release. While I love CentOS, think the team does the best possible job, and appreciate the work they put into undoing the restrictions on redistribution by the upstream distro, I have to wonder if it isn't time to just switch to a base distribution that doesn't impose those restrictions that force the extra work and delays in the first place. Is there still any reason other than having to learn to type 'apt-get' instead of 'yum' to prefer Centos over Ubuntu? I think for me it is just that I started with RH before they imposed the redistribution restriction nonsense and have been too lazy to change administration styles (and debian's release-when-it's-ready schedule wasn't attractive at the time). On a test machine I've noted that Ubuntu worked with the wireless adapter where Centos didn't, Sun Java is included, and the update mechanism seems faster and better suited to caching proxies. But it still feels slightly weird and unfamiliar. Are there reasons to not trust it? Oh boy. Now we're going in a completely new direction on this thread. :-D Nothing wrong with changing distros of course, but, at least for me my reasons for staying with RH/Fedora/Cent are mainly that RHEL is still the corporate standard and more likely to keep me employed. I'd prefer to stay familiar with the RH environment for this reason alone. As long as RH continues to employ a large chunk of the Linux development community, it will continue to be a major player in the enterprise space. And if not for CentOS someone else would step up and fill the void of a free version. Ray ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

What restrictions are you talking about exactly? The ones that require the work that the CentOS team does to rebuild/rebrand/repackage before redistribution is permitted. This was not required in the early days when RH developed its community support (up through RH9) and perhaps it would have been wiser to walk away from everything RedHat-related the day they made that change.

Consequently the other option is to change the VNC configuration so
that you're running the Gnome or KDE desktop manager in VNC. The
tricky bit then is to get it to log out properly as if you were really
on the console.
I put the following in $HOME/.vnc/xstartup to accomplish that on CentOS 5:
8 snip
#!/bin/sh
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic
gnome-terminal --geometry=80x24+10+10 --title=$VNCDESKTOP Desktop
( gnome-session ; kill `cat $HOME/.vnc/${VNCDESKTOP% *}.pid` )
8 snip
This runs gnome-session in the background, then kills the desktop when
the session ends. Replace gnome with KDE to taste.
The recommended way to run the desktop ...
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
# unset SESSION_MANAGER
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
... has the undesirable side-effect of leaving the VNC server running
with no session or window manager and no X clients when you exit from
the session. This is annoying unless you also configure the server to
exit on the last client disconnect. I prefer having the server
disconnect the clients when the session ends, instead.
(I'd be happy to learn there's a more convenient way to accomplish that.)

I'm trying to make a raid1 between two partitions of two drives for /boot, and a second raid1 of two partitions of the same two drives for lvm. Like this: sda5 + sdb5 = raid1 = md0 = /boot sda6 + sdb6 = raid1 = md1 = PV = VolGroup001 = /, /var, /home, /usr I'll wait until tomorrow for your step-by-step instructions. Thanks!

I've done it using the graphical installer (I was using the text mode installer) CentOS is installing right now.
