Further comments are welcome. If it's a DNS server problem, it's helpful to have some IP numbers of other DNS servers. It makes sense to look for alternate DNS servers now, it makes much less fun to look for them when the one you use doesn't work properly. Someone mentioned Google's public DNS server. Is it advisable to use a DNS server provided by a company which doesn't do anything but collecting data about its users? I'm sceptical.

[CentOS] Unable to remove an lvm on CentOS-6
I mistyped the storage allocation for an additional virtio drive for
one of our vm guests and now I cannot get rid of the thing.
I have discovered that this is probably, indeed almost certainly,
related to udev but the few work arounds I have found all seem to fail
for me.
Does anyone here know how to remove these things?
When I try this:
# for i in {1..200}; do udevadm control --stop-exec-queue ; lvremove
-f /dev/vg_vhost01/lv_vm_inet05.harte-lyne.ca_01; udevadm control
--start-exec-queue; done
I get hundreds of these:
Logical volume vg_vhost01/lv_vm_inet05.harte-lyne.ca_01 is used by
another device.
# lsof /dev/vg_vhost01/lv_vm_inet05.harte-lyne.ca_01
#
I recall that I ran into this before and I have a sinking feeling that
the 'fix' was to reinstall the then new virtual host OS. I have
(re-)opened a bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=855409
But if anyone has a recipe to deal with this I would be grateful if
you would share it.

Is there a partition on the lv that the installer can find? I run into this all the time when using an lv storage pool and an lv based virtio drive. I first have to fdisk the newly allocated drive and do a partprobe before the vm guest will recognize that it has the space. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Right - sorry, the new server's 6.3. Actually, I've just tried, and must be missing something, because now doing just what you suggested, which I *thought* I'd done before, it only wants to install ruby-libs, not iputils, nor, for that matter, graphviz-(whatsit). My manager figures that there's a ruby script in ibutils, which makes sense. mark, unimpressed with the faddish language of the year ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] odd dependency
I'm putting the finishing touches on a new server, which will be replacing an old one. It's got a non-rpm ruby package (I hear lots of not-nice things about the RH package). The new server had ruby installed, so I went to yum remove it. And it removed ibutils as a dependency of ruby or ruby-libs. rpm -qi of ibutils tells me Summary : OpenIB Mellanox InfiniBand Diagnostic Tools Description : ibutils provides IB network and path diagnostics. On 5.8, it's installed, and ruby isn't. Anyone have any idea why Infiniband utils should be required for ruby? mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
