CentOS 5 :: Accessing An LVM Partition?
Sep 15, 2010I tried to reinstall Centos, and the reinstall failed due to a flash disk being pulled out in the middle of the operation. I am left with an un-bootable system and I want to access my data, if possible.
Prior to the reinstall the disk info was:
== BEGIN cat /etc/fstab ==
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
[Code]...
So, The disks are still intact (I hope) but the LVM information is gone.is there anyway I can access /dev/sda2? When I try mounting it from the Rescue environment the command hangs, i.e. nothing happens.
CentOS 5 :: Accessing Windows Desktop And Drives From Centos And Vice Versa?
Oct 3, 2009i find this is an issue which might be tiresome for everyone except for those experts. Esp. for the computers which are dual booting(both windows xp and centos installed in the same computer), that when we are in CentOS we need to switch onto windows immediately. and vice versa. i see this is possible only by shutting down the centos/windows and then restarting onto the other OS.
Can anyone tell me the the solution to work simultaneously both xp and centos without the need of shutting down and restarting There maybe or may not be the solution...but i find the pleasure to know if there is for example, remote desktop connection in windows xp, is there any solution, we can work on windows via centos or vice versa ( in the same machine),
OpenSUSE :: Accessing NTFS On Win 7 Partition?
Jun 18, 2010I am not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I am trying to find out how I can modify forms on my Windows partion. I am running a dual boot with Win 7 and Open Suse 11.2. I can access and read the NTFS files but can not change them or add to the Win 7 Partion. How do I change ownership and permissions so that I can work on them from Open Suse 11.2

May 13, 2010I dual boot Ubuntu 10.4 and Windows 7 (actually, just installed the Win7 a few hours ago.
I like that I can access the Windows 7 partition from Ubuntu, but not the other way around. I found links for several file explorers, but is there any way to install an extension for the standard Windows Explorer that can open EXT3 partitions (and the files therein) as if they were NTFS?
Most of the links I found refer to custom file explorers. I only want to use one file explorer, not switch between two different ones depending on which partition I want to open. Also, if I use a custom file explorer, how will dialogs like "Save as..." be able to handle saving directly to EXT3?

CentOS 5 Networking :: Accessing Windows PC From Centos
Jul 29, 2011I have a small network with my Centos 5.6 box and a Win XP PC on it.I can access the files on the PC from the Centos box by bringing up the RUN window (ALT-F2 in Gnome) and typing smb://192.168.1.X/C (where X is the address of the PC), and I get a window with the C: drive from my PC. I can then drag/drop files between the Centos box and the PC. Here are my questions:
1) I want to script the file transfer, so how do I do this from the command line?
2) On the PC, I have 2 drives C, and E. They appear to be set up the same, but the E drive looks empty when I do this using the interactive method above.
I found this tutorial http:[url]..... but I can't get my PC "visible" in the smbtree.Really, I just want to write a script that does a backup on the Centos box and copies it to the E (External) Drive on the PC. (I'm a novice when it comes to administration)

Sep 21, 20101.) I have several versions of ubuntu installed on my computer. Technically, all but one are incomplete installs which I would like to delete if possible?
2.) I would like to access my files from the Windows partition, but it doesn't show up under "system." Is it for some reason impossible to access Windows files?
3.) My computer's performance has dipped substantially in the last two days. I am trying to figure out why this is, if there is a task manager or the like or a performance diagnosis tool. Also, my computer does not have an anti-virus program, that might also be the cause of the poor system performance.

Jun 3, 2010I have a webservice which runs under Apache Tomcat. The service is started via a script in /etc/init.d. During the course of the Web service processing, the software must make use of the two NVIDIA GPUs on the computer to do some graphics processing. When this system is booted but not logged in, the web service is accessible but the software cannot access the software cannot access the X server to do it's processing. However, when I am logged in, the user can access the X servers and run correctly. I have tried various solutions but I always have to be logged in to run the software. I seem to have permissions problems but I'm unsure how to resolve them
Is there any way to grant permissions to root (the tomcat service is started as root) to allow it to run the software without logging in?

CentOS 5 Hardware :: Accessing Live CD Remote GUI?
Apr 10, 2010I have been using the Centos 5.4 live CD to do volume resizing etc for root volume which can't be readily dismounted. I have also been using it to clone systems. It is a really great tool - even offering the same GUI interface I have come to know and love...One added feature which would be great for me would be to package "nx server" and/or "webmin" with it so it can be used to maintain remote and "headless" servers.
That way - when heavy duty maintenance is required on a remote system - the sysadmin (me) could ask the site owner to boot with the live cd - and do the rest remotely. Also it would make maintenance of headless servers easier.I'm not sure whether the live cd is inherited more or less complete from the upstream provider - or whether it is completely re-packaged at centos. I'm also not sure how technically difficult it is to re-package a live cd with extra services.
CentOS 5 :: 2 Websites Accessing Same Mysql Db Configuration?
Jul 9, 2010I have set up two identical websites and want them to access the same mysql database. I've entered the username/password/db name in the website database.inc file. However, one database works fine and displays correctly, the other just gives a blank page. I've tested apache and it can display a different site (one that does not access any db). So is there a configuration that i'm missing. Do i have identify the two different websites that access the db?

Mar 3, 2009Trying to install Centos 5.2.i386 from DVD in text install (I'm assuming I need to do text install as I'm setting up raid arrays)
I have 4x150Gb raptors where I want the following layout:
/dev/sda/
/dev/sda1 100Mb (for /boot in raid 1, 4 disks)
/dev/sda2 1000Mb (for swap, raid 0, 4 disks)
/dev/sda3 4000Mb (for /, raid 5, 4 disks)
[Code].....
In the last attempt I did, sdb,sdc and sdd all had the correct ordering of partitions, but sda looked like above, which means I would need to assemble by boot array partition array as /dev/md0 = /dev/sda3, /dev/sdb1, dev/sdc1, dev/sdd1
Why is the partition numbering moving around as I create them?
Installation :: Dual CentOS - Windows 7 Boot - Had To Delete CentOS Partition And No Grub Menu
Sep 19, 20103 partitions (in order): Windows 7, CentOS and shared data partition.
I need to increase the size of the Windows 7 partition (c:windowswinsxs seems to be something not easily remedied).
GParted didn't work in moving things around (bad sector) so I wiped out its partition (# 2 out of 3) and I was able to increase the size of the Windows 7 partition (I can reinstall CentOS easily and not much work lost).
Except ... no more grub menu (unsurprising). This incantation does allow me to boot into Windows 7.
Is there any way of rebuilding the grub menu short of reinstalling CentOS (5.5)?
CentOS 5 :: Resizing CentOS Boot Partition, Dual-booting?
Jun 9, 2009I have a laptop that came with Windows Vista (64-bit) installed. I created a new partition and installed XP (also 64-bit) alongside it.Last night I shrunk my XP partition and created another new partition and installed Linux (CentOS 64-bit) on it. I made an error in judgment and didn't allocate enough space, so I need about 10 more gigs for the Linux partition. It boots up and runs, but I need about 10 more gigs of storage for the files I want to keep on the partition (and yes, they have to be on the partition, I definitely need to know how to do this, not a workaround)I went into Vista and shrunk the XP partition by 10 gigs, so now I have 10 gigs of free, non-partitioned space.
As it stands, when I start up the computer I get the GRUB boot loader. I can boot my Linux install or choose "Other" and be taken to the Vista boot loader. From there I can choose XP or Vista to boot.So, my question is... what is the best way to append the 10 gigs of free space to the Linux partition? Is this something I should do inside of Linux? I have the option to do it in Vista, but the partition shows up as "healthy" but without a file system type.I just don't want to screw up the boot loader, partitions or anything else.This isn't my area of expertise, so if anyone could give me a good suggestion or solid answer

Jun 2, 2010My hardware: HP ProLiant DL 180 G5 5x750GB SATA drives, HP Smart Array P400. Array configuration: 4*750 + 1 spare in RAID 5 (more that 2 TB). I have to install CentOS to this machine. After many unsuccessfull attempt I think that CentOS 5.3(or later) have no way to install on a GPT partition with /boot on GPT device. While installing at the moment of writing partitions information to disk anaconda returning following error: "Your boot partition is on a disk using the GPT partitioning scheme, but this machine cannot boot using GPT".
By the way, with RHEL 5.3 situation the same. Only Fedora 11 can install, but only after creating 1 small partion (fro /boot) in parted, clicking back and clicking next 0_o (in clean array cause, without any partitions). Now I installed CentOS 5.3 by this way: I created two partitions my array volume: small 256 MB for future /boot and big lvm for rest. Then I created small partition on usb-attached drive an used hem to /boot.

Now I want to install grub to /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 (small first partition on array), for booting true from array, without any usb-drives etc. Also after googling I found that 2.6.18 (all kernel later that 2.6.25) kernel and grub 0.97 not supporting GPT. Can anyone confirm it? I installed the Fedora 11 to this server, she have 2.6.29 kernel and grub 0.97-50 (0.97-13.2 in CentOS). I have to download and compile a new kernel, download and install a new grub?

CentOS 5 :: How To Resize LVM Partition
Feb 25, 2011I have a default centos 5.x install on an 8GB hard disk. (This means the volumegroup is mounted to / ). I've increased the size of that hard disk to 12GB. (so yes, fdisk says my disk is 12GB)
I now need to increase the LVM to use the 12GB instead of the 8GB. Every single article I've come across says:
"run lvextend on your vg you want to increase, then unmount, reboot, run live cd or whatever and then run resize2fs".
But of course lvextend +anyG returns an error saying not enough free extents
lvextend +100%FREE returns saying the extents matches extents
How can every the google result be wrong? How can I simply tell this LVM that it's now a few gb larger?
