Fedora Servers :: VMware Reports Wrong Space Available
Jan 13, 2009
I've a physical machine with FC9 running vmware server 1.0.6 with 2 virtual machines. Each virtual machine is also running FC9. Everything was running smoothly until one day, one virtual machine stop. I've checked /var/log/messages of that machine and it says:
Code:
"no space left on device"
.
I try to create a file
Code:
touch dd
and the answer is the same.
The odd thing about all this is that the machine (both virtual and physical) have enough space left. This is the space available reported by df -h. Physical machine
Code:
[root@halwifi hotspot]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
228G 38G 179G 18% /
/dev/sda1 190M 19M 162M 11% /boot
tmpfs 1010M 96K 1010M 1% /dev/shm
and the Virtual Machine
Code:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
8.7G 3.6G 4.7G 44% /
/dev/sda1 190M 19M 162M 11% /boot
tmpfs 379M 0 379M 0% /dev/shm
Every time I try to do something, I always get: "no space left on device".

I am having issues trying to compile the alsa-linuxtant module and I am getting errors about not being able to find some files and the source needing to be reconfigured. Anyway the developers told me to try compiling on a pristine source to see if I could compile that way. When I went looking at kernel.org I did not find a 2.6.32-5 version. So I did some checking and to see just what version I have.
$ uname -r
2.6.32-5-amd64
$ dpkg --list | grep linux-image
ii linux-image-2.6-amd 64 2.6.32+27 Linux 2.6 for 64-bit PCs (meta-package)
ii linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64 2.6.26-24 Linux 2.6.26 image on AMD64
ii linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 2.6.32-15 Linux 2.6.32 for 64-bit PCs
So the actual package that is installed is 2.6.32-15 but uname -r reports 2.6.32-5 as the kernel version.

I am running ubuntu 10.04 with the fglrx driver installed with apt-get. I have an ATI Radeon HD AGP with 512MB of video ram. My bios window size is 64MB. The Xorg.0.log file shows that 512MB is recognized. I also tried checking the /proc/mtrr file and it shows two values one I believe is my ram size which looks to be correct at 1.5GB the other is 512MB which I think is my video ram size, but when I do an lspci -v the video ram size shows 256MB. I am trying to run Doom 3 and it only allows me to use 256MB of memory.

It just happened for the second time some minutes ago (first time was yesterday): the update-manager window reported that 7MB needed to be download, but after clicking Install Updates 17.3MB was downloaded...It's a know issue in 10.10?

I recently had three problems with SELinux: httpd_unify - SELinux prevented my web server from having write access. ftp_home_dir - SELinux prevented my virtual users from connecting to their home directory. textrel_shlib_t - SELinux prevented two separate Unreal Tournament 2.5 mods from running. The troubleshooter did not notify me of any of these problems. I finally figured out how to fix them on my own and did. CentOS had a very concise, albeit excessive SELinux troubleshooter that involved notifying you of every single problem on your server multiple times. Still, I would rather be spammed with notifications than receive none at all.
If I had not switched from a CentOS box, I would not know the chcon command to set textrel_shlib_t to my mods, as I cannot do it in the SELinux Administration without making it global. How do I fix the troubleshooter to report?

I did apply the updates on 11.1 32bit and upgraded the kernel from 2.6.27.45 to 2.6.27.56.
Now:
Code:
> uname -a
Linux myhost 2.6.27.45-0.1-default #1 SMP 2010-12-01 16:57:58 +0100 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
but:
Code:
> cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.27.56-0.1-pae (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 141291] (SUSE Linux) ) #1 SMP 2010-12-01 16:57:58 +0100

Total Newbie running Win 7, Lucid Lynx 64-bit, sharing partitionUbuntu keeps reporting low disk space. I've read dozens of postings, looked at gparted and done some resizing but it's still not right. Had to remove everything I could last night to free up space.Disk utility shows I have an 18 GB root.disk, gparted shows partition has 204 GB available.The space is there in the partition how do I get root size to increase?

I am trying to transfer 3 AVI files of about 650MB each to a video DVD to be used standalone in a DVD player with TV. When I start creating the Video DVD project, I drag my 2GB of files into the project window, Brasero recognizes the blank DVD as having 4GB, but then reports there is insufficient space to burn the selected files and do I want to use multiple discs. Running Ubuntu 10.04, and have accepted all automatic updates as they come out.

Although I've seen several threads with the same problem, I have not managed to solve the problem. GParted identifies my /dev/sda as unallocated disk space! The machine a Dell Inspiron M101Z laptop running Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit + W7 64 bit. I wouldn't have discovered the problem until I decided to replace my 32 bit Ubuntu with the 64 bit version, then GParted from the live cd identified my drive as Unallocated space!
I've already tried to use testdisk to write the partition table, but though it writes the table successfully and then it prompts to reboot, GParted still sees it as Unallocated. I've also tried fdisk /dev/sda then p then w to write the partition table, but again GParted screws up for some reason and sees it as Unallocated.

We are using thin client systems in our work environment. There is a central ubuntu server and by using thin clients, we are connecting to our homes. The problem is when I try to install an application, it reported me that I had 200 mb of disk space. But when i try to look from console, I see that /home folder has over 250 gb s of disk space. Even when I try to look from baobab, Disk Usage Analyzer in Ubuntu, i see that my home file system is full.
So what's the reason that I am receiving different kinds of disk space report from different sources? Our system admin here told me that some applications foolishly try to see the physical devices on the thin client and got confused as a result. Is this true?

Is there some better way of getting my display size set to 1280x960 when I launch openSUSE 11.4 under VMware Server? Here's what I've done so far: I am running Windows 7 on an AMD Phenom II system (motherboard: Gigabyte 880GMA-UD2H). I installed VMware Server (version 2.0.2) so that I can run openSUSE 11.4. The initial install went pretty smoothly. However, the display size was set to 800x500. I attempted to set it to 1280x960 by changing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf file as follows:
Code:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Default Monitor"
## If your monitor doesn't support DDC you may override the
## defaults here
# HorizSync 28-85
# VertRefresh 50-100
HorizSync 1-10000
VertRefresh 1-10000
## Add your mode lines here, use e.g the cvt tool
Option "PreferredMode" "1280x960_60.00"
# 1280x960 59.94 Hz (CVT 1.23M3) hsync: 59.70 kHz; pclk: 101.25 MHz
Modeline "1280x960_60.00" 101.25 1280 1360 1488 1696 960 963 967 996 -hsync +vsync
This resulted in a display size of 1734x1342 (or something close to that). I noted from the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file that the vmwlegacy driver is being used instead of the vmware svga driver. There is a note that the vmwlegacy driver does not support the "PreferredMode" setting in the monitor section of the xorg.conf files. For the time being, I have set my horizontal and vertical rates to 60kHz and 60Hz, respectively. This does limit the maximum display size to 1280x960, but for all the wrong reasons. How do I set up my system to get the correct display size?

set up incremental backups with crontab. I just discovered that tar is not actually incrementing the tar files. I first created the tar files, then in crontab I have:
Code:
cd /; tar -cpf --incremental --exclude-from=/root/ExcludeFromTar.txt mnt/PATRIOT/bkp/home.tar home
I only just discovered that this creates a file whose filename is "/--incremental". I also tried using tar's -G switch instead of --incremental:

I am installing VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.i386 on FC 12
Have an error when executing vmware-config.pl initially. When I try again it has the message:-
start of messages;
The following VMware kernel modules have been found on your system that were not installed by the VMware Installer. Please remove them then run this installer again.
vmmemctl
vmci
vmxnet
vmhgfs
vmblock
I.e. - 'rm /lib/modules/2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686/misc/<ModuleName>.{o,ko}'
Execution aborted.
End of message
I tried remove them using modprobe e.g.
modprobe -r -v vmemctl the response was "WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/anaconda, it will be ignored in a future release."
Subsequently I tried vmware-config.pl, but have the same error.

Target F12 mysql - 5.1.42-2
Source FC 5 mysql - 5.0.27-1
I've put SElinux into permissive mode as it was practically denying anything that moved. Both installed from the standard repos. I used mysql-administrator to create a backup of the FC5 server (all databases/tables) and transferred it to the new system. I restored it onto that machine and double checked that my standard admin user (full privs) was present and let me log in to make changes. All good so far.
So I copied over my files from my sites, point a browser at them and I get nothing, not even errors. Now it's a long while since I set the original up and have probably forgotten something simple but despite making the error output more verbose I can't seem to track anything down other than:
[Code]....
So it suggests my tables are invalid/trashed but I can't seem to figure out why. The original server is still running happily so I'm not in any rush to fix this, I'll keep plodding, Phpinfo reveals a normal operational php setup, so i think that side of the sites is functional. Apache test pages work on blank virtual hosts but viewing my sites reveals the favicon working fine but otherwise comepletely blank pages (zero output, even source). I tried running the page as a raw CLI input to the php package using php index.php and php returned nothing, logged nothing unusual but sat with my CPU at 100%, unsure if that is related.

I got the following task from my boss. I have to find out if there is some alternative tool for create reports from Squid except SARG. Now, we use SARG, but my boss told to me, that the main problem of SARG is, that SARG generate huge amount files, which cause problems during migration our servers. He told to me the following condition for change of current tool (SARG):
* standard package of Debian
* generate less amount of files, optimal is to save reports to the database
So I would like to ask you if you know about some tool (I can not find some by google)... and the best would be if you told to me some practical experiences.

My root partition seems to be full bur is wrong because I have a partition with 15Gb space and the data is arround 7.5Gb I have:

When I look for specific info about what is taking the space using du command I get that the space used by the root system is 7.2Gb. I get to the same conclusion when checking the space with Nautilus.

It's close to full, but not actually full. I can't run a lot of things on this drive because the programs complain that they have no space.

I have been using VMware Player for some time to host Fedora VMware images on Windows XP. I have been using Fedora 11 and 12 (both 32 and 64 bit) and recently started to use Fedora 13.
I use as a base the images provided by thoughtpolice. http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/
I usually install VMware tools and also keep the images updated (yum update) which sometimes changes the kernel.
I have recently had problems with the snapshots not having a network when I restore them. So far I don't have the problem with Fedora 11 and do have it with Fedora 12 (but used not to). I do have it with Fedora 13.
In each case the problem goes away when I uninstall the VMware tools and comes back when I install them again.
One of the symptoms is that SElinux complains about not being able to do something with /var/run/vmware-active-nics.
It looks to me that something is incorrect in the actions being taken when the snapshot is being restored. It does not happen every time and sometimes the network restores itself.
The network can be restored by rebooting the image.

I am looking for a version of vmware that manages 2 severs at the same time and that mirrors them such that if one goes down we can still work on the second and of course it also works as a backup. Also, must work on a ubuntu server I have looked but there are so many version that I don't know which one is the best.

Everything is OK (I installed phpMyAdmin without problems) except for one big problem: php shows 500 server internal error instead of a complete error report.
I tried editing php.ini and in-script runtime configuration but nothing changed.
