Hi,

I have 4 x 500GB PATA Harddisk and I like to have them striped and mirrored.
What is the best practise? Raid 0+1 or 1+0.. And how do i go about it?

Thanks

Hi,

I want to slowly migrate from Debian to CentOS, so I setup a multiboot
on my main machine. There's a Debian Etch install on /dev/hda, and GRUB
is also installed on the Debian side.

On /dev/hdb, I have CentOS 5. I fdisked the drive manually, then chose
manual partitioning during install. The setup for CentOS is:

hdb1 -> swap
hdb2 -> /boot, ext2
hdb3 -> / , ext3

After completing the install, I rebooted on the Debian side and edited
menu.lst like this:



title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18 root=/dev/hda3 vga=788 ro
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.18

title CentOS 5 sur hdb3
root (hd1,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.el5 root=/dev/hdb3 ro
initrd /initrd-2.6.18-8.el5

Now when I try to reboot on CentOS, I get an 'Error 15: file not found'.
I add that I've done many multiboot configurations before, so it's not
the first time I have such a scenario. I thought, aha, maybe a typo. So
I entered the GRUB shell and booted CentOS without problems, using tab
completion.

I double- and triple-checked after this, but I can't seem to find the
error. The stanza seems OK, but still it won't work.

Do you see a mistake that I don't see?

Are you sure about the initrd line? All initrd files on my CentOS boxes
have the .img extension. Unless you rebuilt yours and named it
differently, that might be the problem.

Raid 1 and then Raid 0

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID

Read the sectioon on RAID 1+0

Given:
sda
sdb
sdc
sdd

Set up md0 (Raid1) (sda,sdb)
Set up md1 (Raid1) (sdc,sdd)

Set up md2 (Raid0) (md0,md1)

Of course given the chance a hardware raid is better. :)

And that WAS the problem. Curiously, I hesitated over it. In fact,
Debian initrd files are called initrd.img-2.6.18-something... while
CentOS initrd is initrd-2.6.18-something.img. Hence the confusion.

Thanks very much!

You could consider installing GRUB from CentOS in the MBR of the CentOS
disk (though, the boot partition would be fine too), and add something
like

---
title CentOS
root (hd1)
makeactive
chainloader +1
---

To your Debian GRUB configuration. This prevents that you'll have to
update your Debian GRUB configuration again after n kernel updates
(where n is the number set with the installonlyn yum plugin).

Thanks for the hint, Daniel. But the solution is only a temporary one.
My goal is to become a distribution monogamist with CentOS and to
completely migrate to it from Debian :o)

Cheers,

See my other replay: again with few installations (around 10) this doesn't

I did it a little different. Do these as root (or su).

Download firefox-2.0.0.2.tar.gz from www.mozilla.com.

Create /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.2 directory and extract the tarball there.

Copy any extensions you have in
/usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.9/extensions to
/usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.2/extensions.

Change two lines in /usr/bin/firefox:

if [ -x "/usr/lib64/firefox-1.5.0.9/firefox-bin" ] to
if [ -x "/usr/lib64/firefox-2.0.0.1/firefox-bin" ]

MOZ_DIST_BIN="$MOZ_LIB_DIR/firefox-1.5.0.9″ to
MOZ_DIST_BIN="$MOZ_LIB_DIR/firefox-2.0.0.1″

Now if something doesn't work for you you can just change
/usr/bin/firefox back to point to the 1.5.0.9 directory.

To: CentOS Mailing List
Message-ID: <465A9972.9060609@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Hi,

Here's my video card:

$ lspci | grep -i vga
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15 [GeForce2
GTS/Pro] (rev a3)

Until now, I've used it on Slackware (10.0, 10.2, 11.0) and Debian
(Sarge, Etch), and I've always managed to set it up fine.

First, I checked if there were any precompiled nvidia drivers in the
various repos (rpmforge, ...), but there seemed to be only recent drivers.

So I went to the nvidia site and downloaded the corresponding driver for
my card:

NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7185-pkg1.run

I also updated my kernel, and then 'yum install kernel-devel gcc'.

After doing this, it was time for 'init 3'.

I started the installer:

# sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7185-pkg1.run

I went through the steps like I've done a few times before, and it
didn't complain about anything.

I then opened /etc/X11/xorg.conf, searched for the Driver section and
replaced "nv" by "nvidia".

To be on the safe side, I rebooted. (I've had some strange GDM problems
before when simply doing init 5).

My default screen resolution on my 17'' flat monitor is 1024x768. (The
CentOS installer defaulted to 1280x1024, but I manually edited xorg.conf
to change it). Now, after starting X with the "nvidia" driver, curiously
I had a resolution that looked more like 800x600 (and curiously reminded
me of a default Windows 95 install :o))

I opened a console with Ctrl-Alt-F6, opened /etc/X11/xorg.conf to look
for a mistake... and noticed something strange. xorg.conf looks now
curiously amputated. Here's the whole file, or what's left of it:

--8<-------------------------------------------------
# Xorg configuration created by pyxf86config

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "ch"
Option "XkbVariant" "fr"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubSection
EndSection
--8<-------------------------------------------------

This leaves me a bit clueless.

Where has my original xorg.conf (the long version) gone? Is there a way
to get it back somehow? And where does this new - and severely truncated
xorg.conf file come from?

Any suggestions?

Niki

Hi!

In the release notes it is said RHDS will replace OpenLDAP. However, I can
only find OpenLDAP in CentOS5. I tried to google the web but it returned
nothing useful. Does anyone know about this? Thanks.

Just guessing... would be possible to use squidGuard (or another form of

I already use webmin. I solve problem moving dir to / in same partition.
Anyone know if Samba have problems, sharing directories in other
