I will. I'm just about finished migrating RHEL3 to CentOS5 by way of g4u for
a course-start and I'll start looking into Clonezilla afterwards, when I'm
not deadlined anymore. This whole business with g4u made things pearshaped
occasionally and also made me start looking for a more generalistic
solution. Don't misunderstand me, g4u is not bad at all, but things are not
ideal as it were.

[CentOS] IPv6 under Centos?

[Timothy Murphy]

I wonder if anyone is running IPv6 under Centos-5.2?
Particularly with shorewall?

I see that shorewall6 is specifically designed for updating shorewall
to IPv6, as described in .

Unfortunately, this explicity requires kernel 2.6.25 or later,
and iptables 1.4.0 or later,
both of which are later than any versions I've seen on a Centos repository.

I'm wondering how safe it would be to install Fedora versions
of the required kernel and iptables?

Or is there any alternative to shorewall that is IPv6 compatible?
I don't really want to run iptables directly, unless forced to do so,
as I have found shorewall very reliable and simple to configure.

[CentOS] Centos 5.2 live cd won't boot

[tblader]

Hello All
Anyone have a workaround for booting the 5.2 LiveCD?
I'm getting this error:

no root yet, udev rule will write symlink

Then I drop to a shell, with a message to create a symlink
to /dev/root and then exit the shell.  There is also a message
that it cannot find the root filesystem.

Is there a way to disable udev with grub?
Thanks

Tom was rather explicit about why we will NOT see Shorewall6 with Centos 
and the 2.6.18 kernel:

"2.6.18 doesn't support stateful IPv6 firewalling at all!"


I think that says it. You want stateful IPv6 firewalling, then you will 
get a newer kernel which means most likely Centos 6.0...

I seem to recall kernel discussions here on this list and why this is a 
VERY bad idea.

What I am working on is a FC9 system with shorewall6, then doing a 
ip6tables -L and copying those rules that do not require stateful 
firewalling...

[CentOS] rm user:group

[Matt]

I want to remove files but only if they are owned by a certain user and group.

Basically I have this:

find /var/spool/greylist -mmin +363 -exec rm -f {} \;

I want to make sure it only deletes files owned by mail.  Basically no
matter what weird characters are in the file names I want to make sure
it does not delete anything outside of /var/spool/greylist.  I can add
'sudo -u' to it but then my secure log gets filled with entries but

this:


find /var/spool/greylist -mmin +363 -mindepth 1 -depth -user mail - 
group  -type f -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f


to be extra safe, and preview what files will be deleted first:

I don't see anything in that find statement that selects the user and
group combination you say you are looking for.  I think you are
looking for the -user and -group options.  Also, if you want to see
what it's going to do beforehand, don't go into it blind and use the
-print option instead of the -exec.  Once you know that -print only
prints the files you want to delete, then you can switch -print to
-exec.
find /var/spool/greylist -user joe -group devs -print

However, if you have files with spaces or other special characters in
the name, you will need to quote the {}, or the better thing to do is
to use xargs with null delimiters, like so:
find /var/spool/greylist -user joe -group devs -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f

If you need to use sudo, you can put the sudo in the xargs, and it
will only get called every so often, instead of once per file:
find /var/spool/greylist -user joe -group devs -print0 | sudo xargs -0 rm -f

Thanks again for enlightening me.
You have obviously thought longer and far better than me on the subject.
Please let me - maybe everyone - know if and when you have a solution.

I'm really only playing with IPv6 to see how it works,
and can easily put off my learning until Centos-6 comes out.

It is definitively NOT recommended.If it breaks you get to keep all the
pieces That being said, I really wanted to have some ipv6 firewall
on my Centos box. At first I thought of running a Fedora VM in Xen. I
ran into some issues with my Sun quad fast ethernet card. So in the end
I compiled an RPM from the stock kernel and  compiled some RPMs myself
from Fedora RPMs:
iptables
iptables-ipv6
lmsensors
I am not sure that this is the complete list of kernel dependent rpms
that are needed. It can be done when you compile your own stuff, but is
definitely NOT recommended. If you want to go this route you will need a
pretty good background on compiling your own RPMs etc.

Running Fedora kernels is still more tricky: there are way too many
dependencies. Don't even try

If you do not use a kernel that has statefull ipv6 firealling I would
recommend 6wall. This is a pretty old shorewall-shell derived package
that does ipv6 fire walling. The syntax should be familiar to old
shorewall users. It does however not offer macros or actions. 
And you will have to write rules for incoming and outgoing traffic
separately. Something like:
ACCEPT  all all tcp domain
ACCEPT  all all tcp -   domain


It is still probably easier to use 6wall than porting just the
shorewall6 generated ip6tables rules. 

I am personally considering  going back to running the firewall in a
Fedora VM now that I have a managed vlan capable swith. Simply being
able to update using yum is so much easier and more reliable.

Tried sticking a - in front of the zero.  Doesn't make

This cheat sheet for another vintage of the controller
rebadged by Dell, seems to be exactly what I need.

Looks like I can get most of what I need, without any

That will do for now.

Seriously, I get that you are frustrated, been there myself.

I don't have any of our LSI's actually running at the moment, but
it makes sense to me if the Patrol Read is disabled, you get an error
configuring it. Just a guess...

What does a -AdpPR -Info -a0 yield?

[CentOS] Cannot get CentOS to install

[Michael Peterson]

I used google but did not come up with anything current to solve my problem.
I have not tried any other search engines yet.
There is not a search for the CentOS list so I am creating a new post.

I have tested the CentOS 5.2 and RHEL 5.3 CD's and they passed.
I had to use linux mediacheck ide=nodma to get them to pass.
The newest releases seem to most times fail with just linux mediacheck.

I have tried linux ide=nodma and
linux text ide=nodma after trying
linux and
linux text

Anaconda fails on both CentOS 5.2 and RHEL 5.3 in all cases.

The system I am trying to install on is running CentOS 3.x.

The hardware is P4 2.8 CPU, 512 MB RAM, 120GB 3ware IDE/PATA RAID HD, 
ATI Video, CDRW CD, Dual Nic, Floppy and IDE/PATA Tape drive.

Please provide any options to the kernel that I should try besides the 
ones mentioned above that fail.

Is this because you changed the original post and you thought I was 
replying to the other part of the original post.

I was responding to the current thread running which was off of the 
original post.
Are you saying everyone should create a new thread path from the 
original post each time instead of keeping a thread going to get a 
solution solved?
This would make it a great pain to find answers if everyone had to start 
from scratch every time when they posted.
No one else has been asked to do this.
I was just elaborating on your post to get more detail to aid in a solution.

Try making the media after padding the iso image with about 300k of
zeros. When you search the archives (there is a search - I'll mention
below) there are a couple of threads about this.

With only 512MB or ram you will have to use text mode only, IIRC. Also
in the archives. There's also some threads that mention noacpi, acpi=no
and some other stuff I can't recall.

For your google searches, go to the advanced section and specify
centos.org. That gets what's in the archives. To search directly from
CentOS site, click "Search" on http://centos.org/

It's already 168 hours,
lets try a command setting it to 168 hours

Doesn't like the syntax

Lets try setting it to 0,  Doesn't like that either.

Using Google to search you can begin with: "site:centos.org" and then
your search terms

I have installed CentOS 5.2 (32 bit) using the graphical install on a
box with 384 MB of RAM. Slow, but it worked. My daughters box is a P4
1.6 GHz with 384 MB of RAM. It will install with 512 MB of RAM, more
happily. Wife's box and mine have 512 MB of RAM.

Have you tried the CentOS LiveCD on that HW, to see if everything will
work properly? I haven't had to use any special parameters, to get the
graphical installs to work on our old Desktop boxes.  If it won't go
with the LiveCD, try another version

I wish I had one of my cards running, but just looking at
the syntax, from my experience running this app, I would say
you need to do: # MegaCli -AdpPRSetDelay -Val33 -a0 if you
wanted 33 hours :) What are you trying to change it to anyway?
Is the value sane?

^MInvalid input at or near token -AdpPRSetDelay

Hmm.  It didn't like that either!

I'm just trying to figure out the command syntax.
And writing some utility scripts.

-AdpPRSetDelay -Val  is just the first command in
the manual that sets a value, and there is neither
a specification of the syntax for -Val, nor an
example command using -Val

Will probably leave the -AdpPRSetDelay at 168
But I still need the syntax for setting -Val in other
commands.

I bet you didn't learn the syntax from the manual.
I'll bet you inherited some scripts from someone else,
and learned by tweaking working scripts.

Uhm, I learned from the manual. I am tempted to fire one
up and just figure it out...

if you could install centos 3 on this hardware, then centos 5.x should 
work...any error messages from the console?

Next I'm trying to setup a raid-10 logical volume.

Got the two mirrors built.
Now I need to stripe them

Here's an excerpt from -LDPDInfo
I just added a little white space it makes the output much more readable.
And I deleted the stuff about other Logical Drives

I really can't remember, but for some reason I think in the GUI
you span then mirror, but in the cli you do it one pass. Dump the
two ld's and try that command over.

I really can't remember, it's been several months since I set an
array up and the only machines running LSI's at the moment are
esxi boxes so I can't execute the cli anymore.

indeed, most of the hardware raid controllers I've used of late, you 
just pick 4 or more drives and build a 'raid-1' and it automatically 
does the mirror/stripe thing for you.

probably more important than any of the data you've given there is, what 
chipset on the mainboard, which 3ware card, and what dual NIC chips ?
