[rhelv5-list] Resizing root (no LVM)

2011-01-03 Thread Marco Shaw
Hi, I haven't done sys admin in some time, and I just started a new job where I am doing it again. The story before (over 5 years ago) was that you couldn't resize root basically. Now with great stuff like LVM, it seems you can do some resizing from a boot CD and not have to tar/untar and hope

Marco, I've used this process with ext3 file systems when we need to extend a partition (usually on a SAN drive or a VM server where you add additional space via the host)  Note, this process ONLY works on the last partition of a drive, if it's not the last one, don't do this!  I have

[rhelv5-list] rhn_register debugging

2011-01-18 Thread Marco Shaw
I see a debug section in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date. Can this be used? I'm getting an error 70 on some systems, when they should all be fine. I'm thinking some VMware templates have been used that were created back when Oracle Unbreakable Linux was being used. I looked at

I'm looking at turning on iptables logging to capture most of the traffic hitting my RHEL4 and 5 servers. -Is anyone aware of the potential performance impacts of logging all traffic? (I know it depends on what level of traffic is involved, but I thought I'd ask.) -Does it involve syslog? -Is

[rhelv5-list] /proc/sys/fs/inode-nr vs df -i

2011-05-09 Thread Marco Shaw
Hi, Is there anything online that contrasts what df -i reports and the values provided by /proc/sys/fs/inode-nr? Is there a connection? For a particular system, for example, df -i reports 1% to 4% inode utilization for different FSs, while /proc/sys/fs/inode-nr reports 70% used*. Marco

[rhelv5-list] Default fw rules

From my testing, the default firewall rule you get when you add SSH (via something like system-config-securitylevel) gives you: ... -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT ... I'm particular interested in whether I'm interpreting this part incorrectly -m tcp

[rhelv5-list] Removing an old yum repository

2011-09-02 Thread Marco Shaw
I have some RHEL5 servers that have been through a few changes. They may have been once connected to an Oracle patch server, but more recently to a custom YUM server/repository. I thought the only places I would need to check were /etc/yum.conf or /etc/yum.repos.d to check for any old configs.

Is there a util (or script) that will help me easily compare two directories from two different servers? For example, I need something to crawl /home on serverA, gather all the file names and sizes, and be able to somehow export this to be able to use this to compare against /home on serverB.
