The guest machines run Windows 7 and various versions of Linux. The system is running the latest version of VMware Workstation. Until recently, I started VMs using the VMware Workstation GUI. The system has been very stable and seldom crashes. Recently, I set up an init script to start several VMs at boot time using the vmrun command. This appeared to work correctly, but the system has become unstable, freezing at various times. When the system freezes, there is no console response and it does not respond to a ping. There is nothing in syslog to indicate any error. The script started 8 VMs. I've cut back to now running 4 VMs and the system appears stable. Is there some relation between the number of cores and the number of VMs one can run? Is there something else which might cause the system to crash when running multiple VMs? Any suggestions to identify why the system crashed? Are you staggering the startups of the VMs? The server may be choking trying to boot 8 machines at once. I suggest starting a VM every 30-60 seconds, so that you aren't trying to boot all 8 at once. Don't know if it will help, but it might. The crashs happen long after boot time when all of the VMs are running. (Actually, startup goes very smoothly, with the VMs starting in parallel in the background while system boot completes.) So, the VM's are starting their boot process while the host system is still starting it's boot process? You might want to make sure your host system is finished it's boot process before any of the VM's want to try and start. I know you did say it's after they all boot that the issue begins, but I guess it's best to be safe than sorry just in case there's something that hasn't been started that's needed by the VM's.

I successfully expanded the LV using lvextend, and lvdisplay shows that it has been expanded. Then I went to expand the filesystem to fill the new space (# resize2fs -p /dev/vde1) and I get the results that the filesystem is already xx blocks long, nothing to do. If I do a # df -h, I can see that the filesystem has not been extended. I could kick the users off the VM, reboot the VM using a GParted live CD and extend the filesystem that way, but I thought that it was possible to do this live and mounted? The RH docs say this is possible; the man page for resize2fs also says it is possible with ext4. What am I missing here? This is a Centos 6.2 VM with an ext4 filesystem. The logical volumes are setup on the host system which is also a Centos 6.2 system. You didn't really specify your topology accurately so I assume you used lvextend on the host side. This will not be visible until you rebooted the guest. The only way to resize without taking the system offline is to use lvm in the guest. Add a new virtual disk on the host side which results in a hot-plug event in the guest (i.e. you should see the new drive added in the guest). Now create a single partition on the drive (this is important!) and use pvcreate to turn it into a physical volume. Now add the new PV to the Volume Group. Finally you can lvextend the LV in the guest and resize the filesystem. The partitioning of the new disk in the guest is important because if you use the disk directly as a PV then this PV will also be shown on the host. An alternative is to modify the LVM filters in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf on the host to specifically not scan the LV for the new disk. I find it easier to create a partition though (i.e. use /dev/vda1 instead of /dev/vda as the PV).

Re: [CentOS] CentOS-Samba question
Robert wrote: It might be easier to give up.* For years, I had a single inkjet printer on my modest home network, physically connected to this machine. It works great once setup until something changes. (Versions of Windows and/or versions and/or flavors of Linux on another box.) A while back, I added a laser printer, choosing one that could go either parallel, USB or ethernet. I got out my crimpers, made a network cable and haven't looked back. What a pleasure! It was a breeze to set up and it's alway visible to any computer on the network. The point is, unless your time is virtually worthless, you might think about a print server. Netgear, D-link and Linksys all make them. BTW, my laser printer is a Brother HL-5250 DN and I'm pretty happy with it. Those mini print servers would save you a lot of time by the sound of it, if it's just the printer sharing that's the problem. Or if distance is not an issue, it could possibly be directly connected to one of the windows machines and shared from there. However, that would result in you having to leave the windows box on all the time for the printing to be enabled. Well, that's my 2 cents worth anyway, hope it helps. -Ross- ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
