[CentOS] Minicom capture file
I'm trying to capture text data coming in on serial port to put into a plot on a web page. Running minicom 2.3 on a Fedora 9 box the capture file is updated immediately. Running minicom 2.1, stock on a Centos 5.x box the capture file doesn't update until you exit capture mode. Is there any way to have it update immediately or is there an alternative application to write incoming data to a text file. Likely many ways to accomplish this but my brain is out of ideas today.

[CentOS] Failed boot drive
Unclear on how to recover from failed boot drive? SDA has failed but I'm still able to boot. I need to replace primary boot drive. Upon initial build I created a RAID 1 mirror of /boot dir/partition. How do I get system to boot off second or third drive so that I can replace /sda? I've successfully replaced /sdb & sdc raid 5 drives in the past but have always struggled to get primary boot drive replaced. Read HOWTO's in the past but it's been an unsuccessful pain and eventually just did a full rebuild. I just read another HOWTO and as confused as I was several months ago, nothing on getting system to boot from alternate drive. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] CentOS 5.1 php-curl
I have two boxes nearly identical. I must have a package installed on one and not on the other. I cannot run a php-curl statement on one, and the other I can. Doing a google I find that I simply need to install php-common. According to box that does not work php-common is installed.

[CentOS] Samba GUI interface
CentOS 5.1 I was just trying to add users and shares to Samba from GUI interface. I've already added users from command line. Regardless, when I go to select users the existing users is blank. When I add a user if it already exists I get a complaint that user exists. If I add a new user from GUI it does not get added to the blank list. OK I just added a user from gui, applied it [HIT OK] went back and tried to add user again but when hitting [OK] complained that user exists. Seems things are working except listing existing users in interface. I can live with this but I'm about to upgrade a server at work and ultimately I was hoping my Windows Sys Admin could manage to administrate Samba. I don't think this will be possible without a GUI. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

What I read sounds similar to what you state that if you create multiple swap partions the system will create a raid0 of it. So what is the recommendation? create 1 swap partition on one drive? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] RAID Hot Spare
I've googled this question without a great deal of information. Monday I'm rebuilding a Linux server at work. Instead of purchasing 3 drives for this system I purchased 4 with intent to create a hot spare. Here is my usual setup which I'll do again but with a hot spare for each partion. Create /dev/md0 mount point /boot RAID1 3 drives with 1 hot spare Create two more raid setups /dev/md1 mount point / RAID5 3 drives with 1 hot spare /dev/md2 mount point /home RAID5 3 drives with 1 hot spare Now do I create partions of equal size for each set then if I remember correctly when creation the RAID there is a check box for hot spare. Do I just marry the 3 equal partions, click the check box and assume the system will find the partition of equal size and use it when needed? Makes no sense to me. Of couse will be creating RAID0 swap but leaving that out of the question for obvious reasons. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
