I am using CentOS 5.4 dvd to install. What I need is to be able to create a partition with GUI (it's druid, maybe) without formatting it. I remeber once there was a check into creating new partition form, but maybe i am confusing with fedora or other distros. Is there a way to complete job using GUI or should i create partitions: / /boot and swap with GUI and the others with fdsik?

I recently expanded the RAID on an iSCSI device which is shared out to a linux server. Fdisk correctly sees the new size but it won't let me add a third partition. It complains about overlapping partitions whenever I try to add it.If I 'remove' the partition, the overlapping error goes away. The interesting thing here is that when attempting to use the default sizes to setup the partition the printed screen shows completely different results (which I can understand is why its complaining about overlapping)
I'm not sure why its not accepting the cylinder sizes I want. Anyone have any ideas as to what's wrong here?

I want to configure Name Server i.e., DNS to my red hat linux box in a production enviromnt.The ram is 2 GB and Hard Disk size is 200 GB. How much space should I give /var, /usr, /boot, /root and home partition. May be I am wrong in partition point of view while installing fresh red hat but to install for home purpose and server end is different. So kindly guide me the hard disk partition size to ready it for name server.

I'm trying to create some PHP extensions. I have installed php-devel as well as the other preqs I thought were required. However I'm not able to find ext_skel. The file README.EXT_SKEL was installed, but not the actual program (find / -name ext_skel). My understanding was ext_skel was installed with php-devel. I know it is in the source code, but I'm not sure where to get the source for PHP 5.1.6 for my version of CentOS.
I'm running linux 5.3
2.6.18-128.1.10.el5

I would like to create a customized CentOS server, or it will serve me as a server (postfis) postfixadmin, Hylafax, webmail (Roundcube for example) and may be I would integrate suger crm.
If I create it all this server and it runs perfectly. my goal is I create a compilation or for example I install this distrubution and wonder just some configuration (eg IP address or the time just) knowing that by the end of the installation I find hylafax, postfix , and all AC roundecube install it remains for me to set them up! Taking the example of Elastix cd: www.elastix.org/ or it can make all AC (but its main role is the PABX).

Have been playing with Centos 5 and finally got it installed and have done most of the updates. Before I proceed much further it would be nice if I could create a backup/install disc of how it is now. No Data,just the setup and software used etc.Have a dvd rw on the server.I recall mondo rescue installed years ago on a linux server we used.

I just recently purchased a license to run Symantec Backup Exec System Restore 2010 for Linux and the only operating systems that are supported are RedHat and Suse Linux.
Does anyone know of a nice open source solution that we can use to create backup images of the server?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI built a CentOS 5 Linux cluster with GFS storage using local RAID volume and share it with gnbd_export/import on two web-servers. Now I need to expand that storage to another servers local volume. I saw the picture in the manual, but I don`t know, how can I create that scheme.
I can use gnbd_export on the second server and gnbd_import on the first. In that case I will have two volumes on the first storage and I can expand volume group, logical volume, etc on it.
I'm working in a little company and 2 weeks ago one of our server had a hard disk failure (yes it was a seagate 11) and after passed two days without sleep trying to recover everything (and we did it!!) we took the decision now to use in some of our server a raid sw, so if one HD fail we can continue with our system without losing nothing. Yes I know normally you have to take all the precautions before so this things never happen, but you know I thing if it never arrives you, you always think than you're lucky and it's never going to happen to you but one day you discover reality.
So now this server is working with a Centos and the default HD partitions one boot partition and the LVM. I'm reading everything I'm finding about raid sw and lvm but I don't find if it's possible to create now with the system working a raid sw without having to reinstall all the system. Is it possible to do it ? If not what are my options to make a system backup before reinstalling everything?
