As system administrators, we would have got requirements wherein we need to configure raw hard disks to the existing servers as part of upgrading server capacity or sometimes disk replacement in case of disk failure.

I have added a hard disk of 512GB capacity to be mounted as a /data partition. fdisk is a command line utility to view and manage hard disks and partitions on Linux systems. Firstly, you need to login BuyVM/FranTech Stallion control panel to attach your Block Storage Slabs to your VM. This will list the current partitions and configurations. After attaching the hard disk of 512GB capacity, the fdisk -l will give the below output. New disk added is shown as /dev/sda. Some will show as /dev/xvdcbased of the disk type. To partition a particular hard disk, for example /dev/sda. Type m to print command options Here since we are creating a partition use n option to create either primary/extended partitions. By default we can have upto 4 primary partitions. ive the partition number as desired. Recommended to go for the default value 1. Give the value of the first sector. If it is a new disk, always select default value. If you…

Some bit of indigestion during an update has left one of your system reserved partitions on the hard disk hanging out. I don't think anybody's come up with a set-in-stone solution yet : the problem appears to be random, sometimes disappearing after a few days. (you can Search these forums for other similar issues) But, seeing as it's been a few months, if you're feeling adventurous, you could run DiskPart and try and remove the letter. Open up a Command Prompt (Administrator) : <Win+X> then select from the Powerusers Menu... Start typing...     a list of all your lettered volumes should appear substituting the number corresponding to your z drive for 'n'     If that works, restart and see if the change is persistent. If horrible things start happening, reverse the process... list and select as before then

If in the future you want to enter spaces instead of tab when you press tab key: Go to Settings->Preferences...->Language (since version 7.1) or Settings->Preferences...->Tab Settings (previous versions) Check Replace by space (Optional) You can set the number of spaces to use in place of a Tab by changing the Tab size field.

To find files on a linux system you can use following command: # find / -name xxxx But I prefer to use the locate command. This command is extremely easy to use and it’s faster than the find-command. # locate filename To install the locate package, use yum. # yum install mlocate To update it’s ‘internal database’, run following command. # updatedb To find a file, use following command # locate httpd.conf /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

  You just got your new CentOS dedicated server, and you notice that times in your logs aren’t quite right. You check the time from the command line (run date), and find that the timezone is set to US Eastern or some other timezone. How do you get this changed? Unfortunately, this is not an easy thing to figure out. Fortunately though, it’s not hard to do with the right directions. Please note that you have to have root access to be able to make the changes detailed below. There are a series of time zone files located at /usr/share/zoneinfo. Select the appropriate named timezone for your location. For my location, Oklahoma, USA, I actually have two that I can select from: America/Chicago or US/Central. Make note of the appropriate folder and file for your timezone. The active timezone used on your system is in the /etc/localtime file. The default will vary depending on your server host but often seems to be EST or EDT (depending on the time of year you are checking). We simply need to replace this file with the file we selected in the previous step. Now, I say replace, but I actually recommend creating a link to the pertinent file rather than actually making a copy. Let me explain the reasoning for this quickly. A crucial part of the timezone shift calculations is the daylight savings calculations. Many people don’t realize this, but the daylight savings days were changed in 2007. When this change happened, all servers needed to be updated with new zoneinfo files.…
