[CentOS] nfs-server.service start delayed 60 seconds asking for password?
Hi, when I start nfs-server.service it takes 60 seconds until the nfsd finally is up. Looking at the process list I see a process 'systemd-tty-ask-password-agent' running which goes away after the 60 seconds the startup requires. Does anyone have an idea what the reason could be for this and how I can get rid of this delay?

Re: [CentOS] Logwatch and System uptime
It is also pretty easy to add a new item to the logwatch report. I created my own uptime module which is really nothing more than the piped output of /usr/bin/uptime. The uptime section of the logwatch report looks like this: - Uptime report Begin 03:50:21 up 34 days, 17:50, 0 users, load average: 0.42, 0.10, 0.03 -- Uptime report End - Bill Gee On Monday, June 15, 2015 11:27:18 Valeri Galtsev wrote: > On Mon, June 15, 2015 11:16 am, Pete Geenhuizen wrote: > > Enable it in /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/services/zz-runtime.conf > > Thanks a lot!

Also, when you say "worked alright" do you mean that you were able to access what you thought was missing? Can you go to full multiuser? Sorry for top posting. Let me give you a clearer idea. 1. My regular boot freezes after loading is completed. 2. I read on the internet that sometimes due to an update in VirtualBox, this error might occur. To rectify it, I must re-install VirtualBox's Guest Additions. For this, I require booting in a Single User Mode. 3. For that, I followed the correct steps as given here ( https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Installation_Guide-en-US/s1-rescuemode-booting-single.html ). But still the system froze on that same point. 4. Then I read about an Emergency mode which is even lower level to that of Single User mode. I was able to log in and see the files that I created/modified as root. I could not see any file/folder that related the local user "cloudera" on which I used to work. This is where I thought of seeing the contents of the Image using vmxray.com and found that a large part of the dick is not visible. This part contains that files related to "cloudera". I felt as if any information related to "cloudera" user has been lost. I basically need to access files that I made as "cloudera" on CENTOS and if possible re-install the Guest Additions that ma solve this issue. But for this I need to be able to boot as a Single User. I assume you are using a virtual drive, which is a file on the host machine (You said windows??? ).

I assume you have no backup of your drive??? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos Yes it is windows. By dumping a disk image do you mean a VDI (VirtualBox Disk Image). These are files that are used by VirtualBox for booting. I have a copy of that as well. Can Gparted be used for connecting that VDI? You will more than likely need a conversion tool to convert a vdi image to a normal HD image. I do not know of such a tool. Another possibility is to create another VM, install your linux on it with it's own separate disk, but add you bad vdi disk as a second drive. Once booted, use linux to fsck the second drive. Again, be sure you have a copy it before you connect it to this new VM. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos I did exactly as you said. I used Gparted to create a secondary drive. I can do "/dev/" to see the four partitions that my original VM had. How do I go about it now? So, the drive (you want to fix) is visible in the new vm. Good. be sure it is unmounted. As root, run fsck /dev/sd

I haven't had issues with nux. I had run yum update with nux enabled. It brought in updates that later on, when I tried to install some new packages, from Centos updates, their deps were on packages older than what nux had brought in. So I deleted the the nux packages and and disabled nux. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] CentOS 7 + Dell Latitude E6420 laptop = thermal shutdown

In fact, I get no complaints at all on the laptop, apart from being heavy. I never had that on any laptop running Centos, and I have about 7 different models in use, Acer and Dell. I'm now working on a Latitude E6320. Yesterday, when burning a dvd, it became a bit warm, but no real issues. No experience with E6420 though, sorry. Greetings, Johan Thanks for the feedback.

DD just does a blind block by block copy between two devices or files. I thought that uuid had nothing to do with drive content, so dd would have (should have had) nothing to do with it. You thought wrong. The UUID for a GPT partition is a number that is recorded in the GPT. The UUID for a filesystem is a number that is recorded in the filesystem super block. The UUIDs for LVM physical or logical volumes are numbers recorded in the LVM header. Etc., etc., etc. When you use dd to copy them, the UUIDs get copied too, and significant confusion can result. Now, the drive itself does have a UUID derived from information that includes the serial number. But, unless you are referencing the drive by /dev/disk/by-uuid/*, you are not making use of it. I've occasionally used /dev/disk/by-id/xxx to select a particular drive partition that could not be reliably identified in any other way (encrypted swap partition on a non-GPT drive), but I don't recall ever using /dev/disk/by-uuid/. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address.
