I have created lvm snapshot, its dd file and .tar.gz files are on lvm volumes. Snapshot is of / directory, is residing in lvm volume. The root directory is also lvm volume. So I was trying to restore from snapshot of / using live cd of rhel5 BOOT.iso. which i found it in /rhel5_dvd/images/. The tutorial I was following said that the live cd should support lvm. So when I am trying to restore after few steps when it asks for media which contains rescue image, I was unable to see the lvm volumes created earlier, instead it shows the partitions added to physical volume earlier i.e., #pvcreate only. So I wanted to know whether the live cd of rhel5 supports lvm or I am making some mistake in restore?
I have installed Debian through the Debootstrap process using the ext4 fs for root and it worked without a problem. When I tried to install Debian mounted on btrfs subvolumes, there are problems mounting root while booting so it crashes... Any clue if Debian supports btrfs subvolumes?
I have to deploy Linux server(apache, php , Mysql) for production environment. whether I should go for RHEL5 or CENTOS5 and why.... Also if RHEL5 then Can use RHEL5 without license if I dont want support from Red Hat.
We will be installing some ibm software on our 2 Quad Core Intel server and ibm lists the OS requirements as RHEL 5 Advanced Platform Update 3 but we have the licenses for RHEL 5.3 (non AP). The question is, since we are not planning for any type of virtualisation and will have a single instance of OS installation, is there any reason (OS level) for the products being not supported on base version?
(I am also checking with IBM but would also appreciate some input from Red Hat as well) In other words, are there any hard dependencies or differences between AP and base versions other than virtualisation support?I just read that base version support only up to 2 CPUs. Does this include the Cores or it is just physical CPU sockets number (i.e will 2 CPUs with 4 core each still be supported).

How would I go about encrypting my lvm2 logical volumes on Debian Squeeze? Is it possible without backing everything up to a different drive and restoring afterwards?
I've read the first 40% of the RHEL 5 Logical Volume Manager Administrator's Guide, but still have one outstanding, burning question.
During the installation of Centos 5.6, I set up LVM physical volumes, volume groups and logical volumes. I can list these using pvdisplay, vgdisplay and lvdisplay commands.
How would I list what filesystems I have that are using my logical volumes?
I want to perform an e2fsck with the y switch (so I dont have to answer yes to every question) on two volumes on a server the next time I restart it. I don't want to do a shutdown -rF because 1) I dont want to check the other volumes and 2) it seems when I do that, the e2fsck doesn't keep restarting itself over and over to fix all the problems. Seems like it runs once, then if it fails it drops you to the repair console in single user mode. I'd rather just have it start the check that will keep repeating over and over right away, because I know it'll take more than one pass.
If I issue a shutdown -rF now, it will force e2fsck's on all the volumes when it reboots. But once the checks automatically finish, does it restart normally? I want to run e2fsck's on all my volumes, but dont want to stay the probably 5 hours it will run, so hoping someone knows for sure what happens.
I am looking for such a tool, very much like the one that is on Windows 7, where you can basically with one glance see how much of a volume is occupied (graphical bar) and that for all mounted volumes. I have been looking for this, but so far I have not found it.Also, important: that it is auto updated. So that it is not like a report that was generated and then does not change anymore, but a live thing
When trying to mkfs -t ext3 /media/HD-CEIU2 mounted drive, I receive "is not a block special device". Then after answering yes to proceed anyway, get messages indicating the device couldn't be read. I did fdisk the drive and rebooted.

I have rhel5 running ok and windows7 running ok, and currently access both via grub (both os are on separate disks) I want to be able to switch between both without rebooting. xen is installed and working but I cannot configure windows to run as a guest as xen wants an iso or img file.
I installed redhat enterprise Linux 5 on an acer laptop to dual boot with windows vista the nic works perfectly with windows but does not work with the RHEL5.
