hello, I have a CentOS 5 NAS and having trouble with samba
'/tmp' does not exist or permission denied when connecting to [IPC$] Error was Permission denied
ahah! finally found the answer. chmod +rx /
my root filesystem got full, must have damaged permissions

... That's not really how it works.

Bahhumbug, what do you mean?

Full filesystems will cause an alteration of permissions.
Sigh
Will _NOT_ cause...

HFS+ sucks on full FS

hmm. it got changed somehow

And yuet... will not alter file system permissions on an out of space condition.

is https://atlas.hashicorp.com/centos/boxes/7 an official box or did someone just squat the centos name?

Trying to enable systemd-networkd on C7, but seems it's not there
Is that not supported on systemd 208?

if i have a package installed from a disabled repo (by using --enablerepo=blabla) and i run yum update, will the package be updated?

You will need to specify --enablerepo=

ok, so for each disable repo i need to run yum update?
or can i do this in a global manner?

You will need to specify --enablerepo=repo1,repo2

alright, clear
thanks :)

Hmm, trying to update systemd using https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/lnykryn/systemd/, but i get Processing Conflict: systemd-219-8.el7.centos.x86_64 conflicts dracut < 033-243 :(

why would you try to replace a core distro component with one from somewhere else?

To get support for systemd-networkd for containers

you're pretty much on your own with that then

I see. Do you know if that arrives with CentOS 7.2?

I saw a bugzilla saying that they'd like to update to it but then it looked like it petered out and might have been going nowhere
with the feature creep and general bloat of systemd, I hope they do the right thing and stick with what they shipped originally

Hmm i see
(Action) is in desperate need to get containers up and running, hence looking into systemd-nspawn

docker?

some kinda of container thing which I should learn

anyone have thoughts on a nice short sed one-liner to inject a reasonable entry into the beginning of /etc/hosts? I don't really want to just yoink out the entire 127.0.0.1 line and replace it with "127.0.0.1 $(hostname -f) $(hostname) localhost localhost.localdomain)" etc
oh nice. sed "s/127.0.0.1\s\+/&$(hostname -f) $(hostname) /" works nicely

Where can I find lists of the packages installed as part of each frsh install option? i.e. if I select "minimal desktop" or "minimal server", where can I know ahead of time what packages are coming with?
I tried to google but got sparse results

mostly from https://git.centos.org/tree/sig-core!livemedia.git/HEAD/kickstarts

Hi, I have 512GB M.2 ssd.. the gparted software says that the current sector size is 512 while it should be 2048... how can I change the sector ? and what's the benefit of having large sector size?

DeaDSouL: mkfs.ext3 mentions MKE2FS_DEVICE_SECTSIZE env var that might help you
That is, "man mkfs.ext3"
Not really knowledgeable, but I don't think you need to change it though.
And I think the larger sector size makes for (slightly) faster reads & writes - probably not an issue on an SSD.
I really don't know much about this topic; just trying to help since everyone else is probably away from keyboard now.
If I'm mistaken, I'd appreciate being pinged in the correction so I can learn something new...

the sector size doesn't matter so much as having the partitions aligned properly

lo all
can anyone help re-registering an EFI bootmgr with the uefi bios?
basically im dual booting windows and centos
and i've cloned the drives to a few pc's
doing a centos upgrade install recovers the centos boot option
but cannot get the windows one back
even with efibootmgr

sounds like a question for a windows forum then

it does indeed
but linux people are cleverer
and i'm hoping to fix with efibootmgr if i can
is it possible to revert to standard boot
once installed with gpt /efi?

I am having a surprisingly difficult time getting CentOS setup as a Vagrant box.
This is my "vagrant up" attempt http://pastie.org/10300794
I get a message in there telling me to check "/var/log/vboxadd-install.log" in which this block appears numerous times: http://pastie.org/10300796

kernel-devel missing

Robr3rd: I see it tried to install the kernel-devel package for the old 7.0 kernel, perhaps you should be using 7.1

TrevorH, How would I best go about that?

I've got no idea how vagrant works but I the first thing I see in your yum output is it complaining that it can't find kernel-devel-3.10.0-123 and that belongs to 7.0 and 7.0 has been removed from the mirrors
current is 7.1.1503 and that uses 3.10.0-229
if you install 7.1 to start with then it will find the right kernel-devel and install it
so basically you're using the wrong install media, don't use 7.0.1406, use 7.1.1503

Gotcha.
TrevorH, Perfect! That fixed it!
For the Vagrant side of the answer, it was just a matter of destroying the VM and starting fresh, but using THIS image (https://vagrantcloud.com/chef/boxes/centos-7.1) instead of the one that I WAS using (https://vagrantcloud.com/chef/boxes/centos-7.0)
So, like you said 7.1 vs 7.0. Thanks a ton! Have a wonderful day.

question, I'm running centos 6.5 ...is there a (easy) way to upgrade it to 6.6 or was that done automatically with yum update

yum update

MerlinTHP: thanks for the reply, I was on another screen and didn't notice, sorry

When I yum groupinstall cifs-file-server on centos 7 it tells me No package available for to install or update. But I don't even have any samba packages installed?

there's no such package as cifs-file-server on CentOS

thats a generic error message
there is also no such group

ah, wait, maybe you meant "CIFS file server"

maybe i was wrong
there is a cifs-file-server
yum grouplist -v | egrep -i cifs
it does exist
heh

yeah i was just using the groupid instead of the name
using either the groupid or CIFS\ file\ server or "CIFS file server" all give the same results
and yum groupinfo cifs-file-server (et al) all seem to imply there are no packages in the group
but a yum install samba successfully installs

interesting
groups are a mess

first time I've ever had a problem with a group install. at first I thought it was just a problem with optional packages, but samba being optional for cifs? i think not

LOL
would you like files with that file server?

lol exactly
well it installed just fine by installing the packages by name, individually. so i guess i'll just shrug and move on. thanks guys.

heh
good luck

how can I find another computer on my network using command line?
