[CentOS-announce] Release for CentOS-6.3 i386 and x86_64
We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS-6.3
for i386 and x86_64 Architectures. Release Notes for 6.3
are available at http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS6.3 -
we recommend everyone looks through those once.
CentOS-6.3 is based on the upstream release EL 6.3 and includes packages
from all variants. All upstream repositories have been combined into
one, to make it easier for end users to work with.
All updates released since upstream 6.3 release are also released to the
CentOS-6.3 mirrors.
+++
Upgrading from CentOS-4 or CentOS-5:
We recommend everyone run through a reinstall rather than attempt an
inplace upgrade from CentOS-4 or CentOS-5.
+++
Upgrading from CentOS-6.0 / 6.1 or 6.2
Unless you have edited your yum configs, a 'yum update' should move your
machine seamlessly from any previous CentOS-6.x release to CentOS-6.3
+++
Downloading CentOS-6.3 for new installs:
When possible, consider using torrents to run the downloads. Usually its
also the fastest means to download the distro.
Torrent files for the DVD's are available at :
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.3/isos/i386/CentOS-6.3-i386-bin-DVD1to2.torrent
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.3/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.3-x86_64-bin-DVD1to2.torrent
You can also use a mirror close to you :
http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=30
Most mirrors will allow direct DVD downloads over http, ftp and rsync.
Please keep in mind that not all mirrors are currently updated, some
might take upto another 24 hours before they have all the content.
We have also made efforts to try and ensure that most install types and
roles can be run from DVD-1 itself.

SRPMS and debuginfo packages are released to vault.centos.org.
+++
LiveCD and LiveDVD
We will be releasing the LiveCD and LiveDVD images in the next few days
for both i386 and x86_64.
+++
CentOS on PowerPC
Work is under-way to bring CentOS-6 to the powerpc platform and we hope
to have a Beta CentOS-6.3 release by the end of August.
+++
Getting Help:
The best place to start when looking for help with CentOS is at the wiki
( http://wiki.centos.org/GettingHelp ) which lists various options and
communities who might be able to help. If you think there is a bug in
the system, do report it at http://bugs.centos.org/ - but keep in mind
that the bugs system is *not* a support mechanism.
+++
Contributing and joining the project:
We are always looking for people to join and help with various things in
the project. If you are keen to help out a good place to start is the
wiki page at http://wiki.centos.org/Contribute . If you have questions
or a specific area you would like to contribute towards that is not
covered on that page, feel free to drop in on
#centos-de...@irc.freenode.net for a chat or email the centos-devel list
(http://lists.centos.org).
+++
Thanks to everyone who contributed towards making CentOS 6.3, specially
the effort put in, as always, by the QA team.
A special shout out to all the donors who have contributed hardware,
network connectivity, hosting and resources over the years. The CentOS
project now has a fairly well setup resource pool, purely thanks to the
donors.
Enjoy!

Any idea how this can be improved on or is that a fundamental limit? One thing that helps is to break it up into separate runs, at least per-filesystem and perhaps some of the larger subdirectories. Depending on the circumstances, you might be able to do an initial run ahead of time when speed doesn't matter so much, then just before the cutover shut down the services that will be changing files and databases and do a final rsync which will go much faster. Also, have you looked at clonezilla and ReaR? -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Depends on if you want everything, and of course, if there's a hardware difference, you need to chroot (assuming you rsync'd to special directories, like /new and /boot/new), and do some mounts and chroot, and rebuild the initrd.img mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

He's not asking what to type at that point, he's asking how to keep the kernel from stopping at that point and just do the (possibly destructive, but often-times all that gets damaged/moved to lost+found, is open logs that were open when the system went down) fsck.

He's saying the desktop machines are throwaway and he doesn't want to take the time to go over and look... do the fsck and if it trashes the filesystem, he'll just re-image the machine later. Meanwhile, the user isn't confused by the fsck message or interrupted by it, if the machine finds filesystem problems at boot time. I would assume this is often a desired behavior on machines that have poor AC power at remote sites. Give the fsck a try if I'm not there.
