Re: [CentOS] how to check the version of centos
Thanks DNK, u r absolutely right the cat /etc/redhat-release does not reflect the version correctly but the rpm -q centos-release does it perfectly thnksss n really apprecite cheers regards simon I seem to remember reading a release note somewhere that the way centos 5 worked now was that the /etc/redhat-releases would not reflect properly (man I wish I could find the reference to that). And that you needed to do something like: rpm -qa centos-release For example on one of my systems, I do: cat /etc/redhat-release I get: CentOS release 5 (Final) But I know for sure that this system is a 5.1 So When i run the: rpm -qa centos-release I get: centos-release-5-1.0.el5.centos.1 Which seems more accurate.

Checking an updated Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 box, I get: # cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.1 (Tikanga) Does anyone know what upstream does with the 5.1.z updates? Does / etc/redhat-release show 5.1.z or something? -Greg ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- Network ADMIN: -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] how do i have a clone centos server
Thnaks john, u gave me a grt idea .. the second one seems quite interestin but i do have to get additional HDD and mirror my existing server which has jus one disk thnks and regards simon John R Pierce wrote: Johnny Hughes wrote: The easiest way to make that happen is to use a product called DRBD do be aware, drbd replicas are not 'safe' for things like transactional databases, unless they are configured to be synchronous (such that a fsync doesn't return until its written on both the local disk AND the replica), which slows everything way down. If you can tolerate a small amount of downtime, a more simple-minded approach is to get servers with swappable drive carriers, set up your production servers with all partitions on raid1, and keep a spare similar chassis around. Then if a single drive dies (the most likely failure), you just swap in a new one and resync the mirrors. If the motherboard or power supply dies, you swap the drives into the spare and come up in the time it takes to reboot (you'll probably have to fix the NIC setup for the different hardware addresses, though.). -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- Network ADMIN: -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
