Re: How to mount an LVM2 volume in Fedora Linux.

[Boris Epstein]

Wouldn't it be /dev/vg_maq01/lv_home that you want to mount to read files
out of your home directory?

Good points. I wonder if it wouldn't be best to do it all in awk. Saves CPU

 I'd try, the problem is that booting from a Fedora 16 DVD also causes the
 system to power off :-(

I can see at least two possibilities:

1) The F16 DVD is defective. I'd check it somewhere.

2) Your hardware is defective.

Beyond that I am not sure what to say at this point. Sorry...

 What am I not doing correct?
 How do I get the other nfs-services use ports 4001-4003?

I wonder if this has to do with timing. Perhaps on bootup the DNS does not
resolve the IP address fast enough and SSHD would not start without knowing
the host's FQDN? Just a guess but I have seen things like that.

 Yes, but my question is just whether it is safe to yum remove selinux*?  It

It is precisely for that reason - that it is so widespread - that I

 First there was an upgrade:

 Feb 12 05:09:27 s3 yum[14291]: Updated: systemd-units-26-16.fc15.x86_64
 Feb 12 05:09:43 s3 systemd[1]: Reexecuting.
 Feb 12 05:09:44 s3 systemd[1]: systemd 26 running in system mode. (+PAM
 +LIBWRAP +AUDIT +SELINUX +SYSVINIT +LIBCRYPTSETUP; fedora)
 Feb 12 05:09:44 s3 yum[14291]: Updated: systemd-26-16.fc15.x86_64
 Feb 12 05:09:45 s3 yum[14291]: Updated: systemd-sysv-26-16.fc15.x86_64
 Feb 12 05:09:50 s3 systemd[1]: Reloading.
 Feb 12 05:09:32 s3 yum[14291]: Updated:
 kernel-headers-2.6.42.3-2.fc15.x86_64
 Feb 12 05:09:40 s3 yum[14291]: Installed: kernel-2.6.42.3-2.fc15.x86_64


 Then, when a cron job noticed the new kernel and tried to do a shutdown
 timed reboot via

 /sbin/shutdown -r +5

 in /var/log/messages I get:

 Feb 13 03:00:01 s3 systemd-shutdownd[2733]: Received message without
 credentials. Ignoring.


 and the system does not reboot.  Since it talked about credentials, I
 double checked that selinux is not active on the machine:

 # /usr/sbin/sestatus
 SELinux status: disabled

 yum update is done every day, but the problem still persists.  The cron
 job notices every day that the running kernel is not the new one and
 tries to schedule a reboot and the same error message gets into the logs.

 I have been reading about systemd. I've read everything on the wiki, the
 man pages, and on Lennart's blog.  I've watched videos of his
 presentation about systemd and I STILL don't have a clue.  My next
 choice is to use strace on the pid and see what happens when I try the
 shutdown so I can see what it's trying to do that makes is issue the log
 message, but I was hoping someone here would know;)

Interesting. Does

# init 5

or

# reboot

work?

100%.

Yet another way is to boot off of a CD or USB stick and manually edit the
/etc/shadow file in the root partition - but that is more cumbersome.

 Right now I am trying to extract from 802.15.7-2011 how Command

Removable devices such as SDHC cards are best handled by the
autodetect/automount processes. If you want to mount it at boot time then
the system will expect it to always be there, I believe.

Is that a fair expectation?

 Anyone know how long it is likely to be initializing

 already.

I would estimate the init would take 1-2 hours.

Beware of placing a large number in your ext3/ext4 partition. We made one
with millions of them - and it took us on the order of 10 hours to fsck it.
We could not afford that so we switched to xfs.

 Yep. I think it took about 1 1/2 hours for the
 disk activity to die down.

I am sorry - I mistyped up above. I meant to say large number of files.
The size of the files in your file system does not matter as far as fsck
duration is concerned - it is the number that matters.

So when you have millions of files the backup takes many hours. And XFS
file system with the same number of files is up in minutes.

NIC interface names

[Boris Epstein]

Hello listmates,

I recently installed Fedora 16 as a guest VM under VirtualBox and instead
of the usual eth0/eth1 etc. names I got the following:

[root@ipa-test0 ~]# ifconfig

Any idea where these strange names come from and what the significance of
them is?

Thanks.

 It was a Fedora 15 Feature.

Michael, thanks. Actually I like this feature.

However, the question is: I've got another Fedora 16 / 32 bit machine
installed under VirtualBox, and it has your regular eth0. How could that be?

 Is your VM originally F16 or was it upgraded from a previous Fedora?
 Fedora saves the device name once you install Fedora so it will remain
 the same name even with this new feature.

 Look to see if you have this file:
 /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

 Fedora saves your network card name in there. You can either remove it
 to have it generate a new name or edit it to what you want.

Both are original installations.

/etc/init.d files under Fedora 16

[Boris Epstein]

Hello all,

Last time I used Fedore was awhile ago. I decided to come back to it
now, installed Fedora 16 and discovered the following: there are very
few scripts under /etc/init.d

And, also, I got my sshd installed but there is no /etc/init.d/sshd
Why would that be? How do I configure my system deamons to start up
when the machine is initializing?

Thanks.

Boris.

 The majority of services are now controlled by systemd - look back in
 the lists for discussions about it -
