[CentOS] shrink LV with ext3 filesystem
Hi. I want to make a snapshot from a logical volume and noticed that there must be enough free disk space in the volume group. Actually there is no free disk space left. How do i shrink online /var without losing any data or restore from backup? I do not have physical access to the server. Specs: Dell PE SC1430 with a 5/i RAID Controller one RAID 1 array from the Dell RAID controller 2 partitons (boot and LVM) 1 VG 3 LV (swap, /var (/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02) and / formatted with ext3) /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol02 211G 39G 162G 20% /var Thank you in advance.

Maybe in single user mode, but /var is needed for multi-user mode to function.

[CentOS] RAID + LVM Addition to CentOS 5 Install
Hi All, I have what I believe to be a pretty basic LVM & RAID setup on my CentOS 5 machine: Raid Partitions: /dev/sda1,sdb1 /dev/sda2,sdb2 /dev/sda3,sdb3 During the install I created a RAID 1 volume md0 out of sda1,sdb1 for the boot partition and then added sda2,sdb2 to a separate RAID 1 volume as well (md1). I then setup md1 as a LVM physical volume for volume group 'system'. I left the sda3,sdb3 partitions available for future use. Next I created swap, /, /usr, /var, etc. logical volumes in the system volume group and continued with this install as normal. Everything went fine. I was able to use the system, reboot, etc., without problems. I then discovered that I needed more space in my /var volume than was available in the system volume group. So, I created another RAID device, /dev/md2 (using sda3,sdb3), and created an LVM physical volume on top of that. Finally, I extended the system physical volume to contain this new physical volume and expanded the size of the /var volume. This worked fine, but on reboot I get a ton of errors from LVM saying that volume with id --... was not found and the system automatically reboots. This seems to happen for all volumes, not just the ones I changed. This error even happens for a separate volume group (called 'extended') that is on a separate set of disks and was existing prior to the CentOS 5 install. Any idea on some step I missed? I know things are still fine on the disks, as when I boot with the CentOS DVD with the 'linux rescue' option all RAID & LVM volumes are available for use. So from this it seems I need to update some CentOS config file? Here are some config files: http://pastebin.com/m6d5075dc Thanks!

It goes by pretty fast then reboots, I have only 1 or 2 seconds to write it down before it reboots. Took me 2 or 3 reboots just to get the gist of the message last time. I've tried using a serial console (append options to grub: console=tty0 console=ttyS0,38400), but the errors don't show up on the serial console only on the real console. If I could get it to output to the serial console, it would be much easier to track down the volumes with errors.

Re: [CentOS] RAID + LVM Addition to CentOS 5 Install
This worked fine, but on reboot I get a ton of errors from LVM saying that volume with id --... was not found and the system automatically reboots. This seems to happen for all volumes, not just the ones I changed. This error even happens for a separate volume group (called 'extended') that is on a separate set of disks and was existing prior to the CentOS 5 install. Any idea on some step I missed? I know things are still fine on the disks, as when I boot with the CentOS DVD with the 'linux rescue' option all RAID & LVM volumes are available for use. So from this it seems I need to update some CentOS config file? Did you re-create the initrd after adding the new raid group? Not 100% about this but my guess would be that the initrd isn't starting md2 and thus can't find the pv on that raid device. -Shad ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Which card and driver? ISTR folks having issues with adaptec cards and LTO3 drives. Might you have a spare LSI SCSI card (ultra320, preferably) about that you could test with? The disks are configured as two 2Tbyte raid 0 partitions using the perc 4 hardware. The problem is - reading from the disk, and writing to the tape is pathetically slow. The specs say I should get around 80Mbyte/second - in reality - is about 500 Kbytes/second Have you benchmarked the disks to make sure you get decent performance out of them? Writing just to tape, using /dev/zero as input and dd to write, I can get up to 60Mybte/second, indicating that the tape drive and scsi card is functional from a hardware perspective. Since I can read and write data to the disks - I assume that they are functional. The files are 80Mybtes for the minimum size that I am writing to tape. 80MB total or lots of 80MB files? If the former, you really need to test with, IMO, at least 2X RAM (preferably 4X) sized data to get a reliable speed estimate. Is there a standard disk / tape IO test package that could test the speed/performance of the disks and /or tapes? bonnie++ is somewhat standard for testing disk sequential read/write speeds. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I can assure you that the original src.rpm as we ship it builds just
fine in a proper environment.
removing all i386|i686 rpms (including hp management software...)
doesn't make a difference, for better debugging i'll post the last few

[CentOS] SysVinit guidance, please
I have experienced a couple of power failures since installing CentOS 5, both while I was working on the system. The first time, several weeks ago, I thought there was some "feature" that I had never seen before but couldn't really put my finger on it. The power came back on after a few seconds and I never missed a beat. I also shrewdly forgot about the anomaly that I had almost noticed. I had a real power failure 2 days ago and tried to be more observant. What had gotten my attention earlier is that the once-familiar banner displayed on about everything except my room's ceiling was missing. After some red herrings and blind alleys (hey, you don't have to worry about mixed metaphors when you're an illiterate old coot!) I decided that the missing banners and the fact that the power was killed while a graphical page was displayed was what I saw. Anyhow, it seems that these extinct banners were a function of the /bin/shutdown routine in SysVinit because banners happen in CentOS 4.x whether the shutdown command is issued by fingers or by a UPS monitoring daemon. And I have since found that they're gone from CentOS 5, no matter how shutdown is invoked. After all of this, my question boils down to one of replacing the current SysVinit package, SysVinit-2.86-14.i386.rpm with the one from CentOS 4.x, SysVinit-2.85-34.3.i386.rpm Would that be courting disaster? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] dvb modules not in CentOS plus kernel for target=i686
I'm just trying to setup my hauppauge nova-T freeview card under Centos 5. It works on the same hardware under CentOS 4.x using the CentOS plus kernel. Having installed the latest CentOS Plus kernel for CentOS 5.0 (2.6.18-8.1.8.el5.centos.plus) I've found that various kernel modules are missing- specifically dvb_core cx88_dvb and cx22702 that were used by my system under CentOS 4.x I've downloaded the srpm and had a bit of a hack. I note with interest that the source file kernel-2.6.18-i686.config has the line "# CONFIG_DVB is not set" whereas in kernel-2.6.18-ia64.config it is switched on: with CONFIG_DVB=y and there is also CONFIG_VIDEO_CX88_DVB=m amongst various other references to DVB in there. Does anyone know the background to this- do the DVB modules fail to build under i686 and are therefore deliberately turned off? I guess I may have a hack at the config file and then leave my machine to do some serious rpm building. -- Cheers, Tony ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] NIS/Samba update
My test setup consists of Enterprise 5 server running NIS and Samba, and dual-boot XP and CentOS 5 clients. On my test setup, I'm able to create new samba accounts and change samba passwords with no problems. NIS still gives me problems, though. I am unable to change passwords no matter what. Also, ypwhich on the client returns localhost. I have reviewed everything, including configs of other networks that are live, and cannot figure out where the problem is. I believe that once I can password changed effortlessly on the NIS side, I can implement this on the live system. Until NIS account passwords can be changed at-will, this setup won't go to production. So, what might I be missing? Why can't I change passwords? Also, what would cause the client, when issued ypcat passwd, to not show the newer accounts create by the server, even after a /var/yp make has been issued? Both client and server have been rebooted many times. Thanks. Scott ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The only difference I find between your log and mine of this
particular part is that I am building in my own directory. You are
probably doing this as root as judged from the
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES directory. Although that should not cause the
error you are getting, it is dangerous to do building as root (general
advice).

I even tried > the "upgrade" command, and that didn't work. You're going to make me drag out my soap box, broken record, and dead horse aren't you CPAN is bad on systems with package management like centos. The reason is because cpan doesn't inform the package management utility that it's installed anything. CPAN can also upgrade chunks of code which are provided by the perl rpm shipped by centos. This may not seem like a big deal until you attempt to install a package which requires a perl module you installed via cpan and yum or rpm tells you that it's not installed. Your options here are to force the installation, or install a copy via yum/rpm. This will result in either a code conflict, or multiple copies of something on your system. Either way things can slowly snowball and go wrong. The best method for installing perl modules is via package management. 3rd party repositories like RPMForge have dozens of perl modules which plug right into the centos perl packages and work like a champ. If all else fails and you can't find the particular perl module you need via one of these repositories, you should use cpan2rpm, or another packaging utility to create an rpm suitable for your system. Using package management features like this gives you reliability (you can install the package on multiple machines instead of hoping it builds identically on each one), and a 'paper trail' to follow for what's on your system (you can query rpm to see where a file is or what package owns it instead of guessing) and best of all, you can easily remove something without resorting to 'find /somepath -name something | xargs rm' or some other hack. Let your package manager do the heavy lifting. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

I always seem to get the prompt coming up... If I remove the graphical and do a text install, it works fine and if I remove the --iscrypted and put a plain-text password in there, it works as well.

Re: [CentOS] CPAN Question
The alternative that I prefer is to install a custom perl for your application in another location (like /opt/bin). This keeps it separate from your system perl, so your os patches work fine and patching won't break your application.
