Hi,
Here's a question to the fine-tuning gurus.
Yesterday while installing a fresh CentOS server, I wondered how big of a deal
the physical position of the swap partition on the disk is.
Here's an example of a simple MBR partitioning scheme on a legacy BIOS machine
with a 60 GB SSD:

After some more research, I think I found the definitive answer to the problem.
It's a little bit more complicated.
Hi,
I've always been a bit puzzled by the fact that Anaconda provides no option to
manually create a partition table and specify if it's MBR or GPT.
From what I can tell - at least under CentOS 7.x - Anaconda will default to
MBR, even if I specify a BIOS Boot partition. Maybe it switches

I'll answer this myself, since I just experimented and found a strikingly

Hi,
I'm currently trying to solve a tricky problem, and I don't even know if it's
possible. Let me describe the situation with a practical example.
In my office I have a sandbox PC for testing various setups that can't be
tested in a virtual machine. I'm using this machine to test various setups

Thank you very
Hi,
On my workstation and my laptop I'm using KeePassXC to store login credentials
for my websites. The database is stored in my OwnCloud share, so it's
synchronized between my two computers.
Ideally I'd like to have something similar for my servers, but command-line
driven. I know these tools
Hi,
Can anyone on this list recommend a good style guide for formatting technical
documentation (HOWTOs related to CentOS servers) using ASCII text only ?
Markdown and/or AsciiDOC are *not* an option, since these documents should be
easily readable in a text console.
Cheers from the sunny South

Your mileage may vary, but usually when I fiddle with a new service that I
don't know well, I start out by disabling the

Hi,
This is probably a bit OT, but here goes.
I've been running our local school's mail server since 2013, with mail
addresses for school staff and some teachers. The server is running CentOS 7
with Postfix and Dovecot, and it's a nice no-bullshit configuration with SPF,
DKIM and DMARC.

Hi,
I'm regularly getting spammed by my own servers, with the following message:
/etc/cron.hourly/0yum-hourly.cron:
