Re: stopping dm-* modules and associated files from loading at boot

2010-09-02 Thread Alan Bartlett
I don't know if this will help but here follows the lists of modules
that are included in the initrd of two systems.

The first system, Duo1, has a SATA disk and does not use LVM --

[r...@duo1 ~]# gunzip < /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img | cpio -it
2>/dev/null | grep ko$ | sort
lib/ahci.ko
lib/ehci-hcd.ko
lib/ext3.ko
lib/jbd.ko
lib/libahci.ko
lib/libata.ko
lib/ohci-hcd.ko
lib/scsi_mod.ko
lib/sd_mod.ko
lib/uhci-hcd.ko
[r...@duo1 ~]#

The second system, stxsl, has two EIDE (PATA) disks logically combined
together by LVM --

[r...@stxsl ~]# gunzip < /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img | cpio -it
2>/dev/null | grep ko$ | sort
lib/ata_generic.ko
lib/ata_piix.ko
lib/dm-log.ko
lib/dm-mirror.ko
lib/dm-mod.ko
lib/dm-region-hash.ko
lib/dm-snapshot.ko
lib/dm-zero.ko
lib/ehci-hcd.ko
lib/ext3.ko
lib/jbd.ko
lib/libata.ko
lib/ohci-hcd.ko
lib/pata_acpi.ko
lib/scsi_mod.ko
lib/sd_mod.ko
lib/uhci-hcd.ko
[r...@stxsl ~]#

Notice the six dm- modules that are included as a result of using LVM?

installation of galculator

2010-09-02 Thread Larry Linder
I won't tell you about serious botch up, however we need to reload a number of 
tools on the server.
One is galculator - the chase is that you can down load it, and when you 
configure it there is a missing lib.   You get missing lib and you configure 
it and it complains about missing XML::parser.

dag.weiier.com,   dag's  presence is missed because you could select app and 
install it and you were done.
Is there another site similar that allows you to down load and install app 
from RPM's ?
Thank You
Larry

Hi Larry,
We mirror dag's repository and have it setup as a non-enabled yum repo.
Here's all you have to do to install galculator

  yum --enablerepo=dag install galculator
