Software raid question
Hi I want to move my /home dir into a software raid 1. Currently 65 gig /dev/hda partitioned: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda2 54G 19G 33G 38% / /dev/hda1 46M 15M 29M 33% /boot This is my plan: 1) Add /dev/hdb 2) Create a raid1 partition /tmp_home using a single device (/dev/hdb1) 3) Copy /home onto the new partition 4) Shrink the / directory on /dev/hda2 5) Create a raid1 partition at /dev/hda3 6) Add this partition to the array using the raidhotadd command. 7) Mounting /home on new raid partition Im stuck at the stage 4 - shrinking of the / directory. Any ideas? Is parted reliable? Is their another method you know of? Regards Stuart Clark

exam question help please
I recently had a Linux exam One of the questions was Make a cron job print the message hello to stdout at 4:15 am every day. So I added this line to /etc/crontab 15 04 * * * root /bin/echo hello Is this the right answer? The reason why I ask is because I think of stdout as being the screen If I put 01 * * * * root /bin/echo hello into /etc/crontab I dont see the work hello on the screen every minute. Why? Am I missing something? Regards Stuart Clark
RE: up2date examples
I have 8 production machines on 9 and 7.3 and always visit the RedHat network website to do my updates manually. I've update kernels through this method many times and had no problems. I've only had one problem, it stopped xinetd on one 7.3 box a few times. I spoke to a RedHat Chief Instructor about this last week and he thinks it was something else not related to rhnsd. I also know that RedHat will setup a local server solution if you have a lot of machines and don't like the huge bandwidth hit when updates are downloaded automatically.

Could I get some specific examples of the up2date syntax typically used to update systems. BTW I use RH AS 2.1. How do you handle issues like updating kernel stuff separate from just nonkernel packages? Does anyone use cron for automated updates? Do you trust the up2date program enough to handle kernel updates automaticly?

RE: no space on /boot
The answer depends on what bootloader you are using and how your partition table is configured? I'm thinking that you should reset the active flag to a different partition (with free space) copying your /boot folder contents to that partition Then install your bootloader onto that partition Bootloader reconfiguration will be necessary Also if you have an older bios, it may not like the boot partition located past the 1024 cylinder mark I suggest testing this on a non production machine first!!

RE: Boot loader
Guys, How do I know which bootloader I am using (lilo/grub)? When you boot up grub has a splash screen with Grub version on top L/H/S I can use kickstart, but do not know what to do with ks.cfg once i save the configuration. Save it to a boot disk in the root directory. Then type ks=floppy when you boot the disk. The problem is I am trying to use hiddenmenu option in GRUB. But no matter how I change the /boot/grub/grub.conf or /boot/grub/menu/1st or /etc/lilo/lilo.conf, it does not reflect in booting. This include changing the label in these files to XXX but the menu in booting still showing me DOS LINUX I suspect your using lilo here. If so, you have to type lilo in the shell to write to the MBR (master boot record) once you have made changed to lilo.conf. Also, is their a way to totally disable menu driven booting. Thus when i boot, I can press TAB and type what i want to boot in instead of it showing me a menu of options?? I can't understand why you would want to do this? If you have a problem booting the bootloader is a great place to start your system in single or rescue mode so why would you want to get rid of it? I know lot of questions but I am confused.
