Installing PVM via NFS

I'm trying to create a PVM Windows machine using NFS in 2.2 and for some reason it's not working. Was this functionality changed in 2.2?
What I've attempted thus far:
virt-install os-type=windows os-variant=winxp -p -lnfs:10.0.0.32:/media/winxp -s5 vcpus=1 ram=1024 -nwinxp_test file=/OVS/running_pool/winxp_test/System.img vnc
Starting install...
ERROR: Invalid NFS location given: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/lib/xen/xennfs.PiRhvE/images/xen/vmlinuz'
This is the same if I try to install via the VM Manager as well. I have tested the NFS mount and can verify that it's working correctly.

They're asking me to add an NFS repo to the VM Server, thats why I was asking if something has changed, because the documentation looks the same from the PVM install standpoint from 2.1 to 2.2.Keep in mind that you cannot install Windows as a PV guest, only an HV guest. Windows does not support paravirtualization.

File sharing via NFS - permissions problem? SOLVED

I'd like to share files between my two linux boxes, a desktop (DT) and a laptop (LT). DT runs Xandros 3, LT runs Arch. They are connected via a router.
NFS works all right, up to a point. Using NFS, I can access all filesystems on DT from LT but the reverse is not true. Arch on LT resides in two partitions, / and /home. From DT I can access all the directories in the root filesystem / of LT as well as their subdirectories, with two exceptions. I cannot access any subdirectories in /home, including my home dir /home/robert/ which doesn't even show up, and in /mnt I cannot access the filesystems of other Linux distros that are mounted in Arch at these mountpoints (e.g. WinXP at /mnt/sda2, Xandros 4 at /mnt/sda5, Slackware 11 at /mnt/sda7) even though they can be accessed perfectly well from within Arch on LT.
I've also exported the LT /home filesystem separately by adding the line '/home DT_hostname(rw)' in /etc/exports on LT, and running # mount LT_hostname:/home /mnt/LT_hostname_home on DT. When I do that /home/robert shows up in the file manager on DT but when I want to open this directory I get the error "Access denied". The permissions for this LT directory, as seen when mounted on DT, are 'drwx--x--x 1000 users'. When I try to make this directory fully accessible by running 'chmod a+rw /mnt/LT_hostname_home/robert' as root I get the error
'chmod: changing permissions of `/mnt/LT_hostname_home/robert': Operation not permitted'.
In short, while Xandros on DT is quite permissive in allowing me to access all of its filesystems in their entirety from within Arch on LT, Arch on LT is more finicky as it denies access to Xandros on DT to some critical subdirectories.
I've also tried 'fish' in Konqueror, with similar results. Running 'fish://DT_hostname' in Arch on LT gives me full access to filesystems on DT but when I'm running 'fish://LT_hostname' on DT, I get the error 'Could not connect to host LT_hostname', i.e. Arch rejects the connection attempt.
To sum up, when I'm using NFS the permissions don't seem to be fully correct on Arch on LT, and I don't seem to be able to change them, and when I'm using 'fish' something is also fishy on the Arch side.
On a side note, both systems run firewalls (DT: Firestarter, LT: Arno's FW) which I had to stop - without doing that nothing connects. Also, both systems obviously run all necessary nfs and ssh daemons.
How can I fix this problem? Would shfs work any better? Also, I'd prefer to keep my firewalls up all the time.
Thanks for your help.
Robert

Thanks, FUBAR and tomk, for your tips. I eventually managed to get my two boxes (DT with Xandros and LT with Arch) connected in such a way that DT can access all filesystems on LT and vice versa. I experimented with three different ways of doing this, NFS, FISH and SHFS.
Using NFS entailed the most involved configuration of the three. FISH was the simplest to set up but SHFS wasn't that much more complicated. My preference would be for SHFS. See: http://shfs.sourceforge.net/
NFS
Using NFS in Arch only requires installing portmap and nfs-utils; most of the NFS functionality has already been compiled into the kernel. As FUBAR suspected, the uid's for user robert were different on the two machines: uid=1000 in Arch and uid=1001 in Xandros. In NFS, I got around that by putting 'no_root_squash' in the export directives in /etc/exports, i.e.
/ hostname_DT(rw,no_root_squash,subtree_check)
/home hostname_DT(rw,no_root_squash,subtree_check)
/mnt/sda5 hostname_DT(rw,no_root_squash,subtree_check)
/mnt/sda7 hostname_DT(rw,no_root_squash,subtree_check)
Using NFS, one also has to add lines in /etc/hosts.allow for each of the daemons and programs used by NFS, specifying which hosts are allowed to use these services, e.g. in my case for portmap
portmap: 192.168.0.5, 192.168.0.7 # you have to use IP addresses!
and the same for nsfd, nfslock, lockd, rquotad, mountd, statd, mount, umount. In Xandros, two of these have different names: rpc.nsfd and rpc.mountd.
Also, to use NFS in Arch one has to add the services portmap, nfslock, nfsd to the DAEMONS line in /etc/rc.conf, e.g. right after network. Finally, I have to stop the firewalls on both machines when I want to use NFS. After doing all of that, I can use Konqueror as user robert to access all filesystems on the respective server (DT or LT) from the other machine as a client except for /home/robert and /mnt/sda7/home/robert (that's a Slackware install) on LT; for these I have to use Konqueror as root on DT.
FISH
Using FISH is very simple. Remote filesystems don't have to be mounted, and the only thing that's required is that the sshd service is running on the file server. I.e. in Arch one has to install openssh and put the service sshd in the DAEMONS line in /etc/rc.conf. Firewalls must be stopped to set up the connection but once the connection is established it looks as though one can restart the firewalls.
One should also add a line in /etc/hosts.allow for the hosts that are allowed to use sshd, i.e.
sshd: 192.168.0.5, 192.168.0.7 (or sshd: ALL )
and comment out the line ALL: ALL: DENY in Arch's /etc/hosts.deny.
Once this is done, all that's needed to access the root filesystem of the server is to enter 'fish://root@hostname/' in the URL field of Konqueror as an ordinary user, followed by the root password.
The drawback of FISH is that one is frequently asked for the password but I suppose one can avoid that by using SSH keys.
SHFS
SHFS needs to be installed and configured on the client side, not on the server side. The server only needs to have a working sshd running. If you run Arch as a client, install shfs in it (pacman -S shfs) and make sure sshd is running on the server and firewalls are stopped.
Next, create a mount point for the remote filesystem, e.g.
# mkdir -p /mnt/shfs
Set the suid bit on /usr/bin/shfsmount and /usr/bin/shfsumount if you wish to enable all users to mount (umount) remote dirs using shfs. You can do this in Konqueror or by running
# chmod u+s /usr/bin/shfsmount
# chmod u+s /usr/bin/shfsumount
so that the permissions are: -rwsr-xr-x root root.
Then mount the remote shell filesystem:
# shfsmount root@remote_hostname:/ /mnt/shfs -o uid=robert
[or you can use # mount -t shfs root@remote_hostname:/ /mnt/shfs -o uid=robert]
Using the option -o uid=robert got me around the mismatch of uid's for robert on the two systems.
At the 'root@remote_hostname's password:' prompt enter root's password. You're ready then to access the remote filesystem as user robert at /mnt/shfs, even after the remote firewall is restarted.
As with FISH, so with SHFS, it seems to be necessary that a line is added in /etc/hosts.allow for the hosts that are allowed to use sshd, i.e.
sshd: 192.168.0.5, 192.168.0.7 (or sshd: ALL )
and that the line ALL: ALL: DENY in Arch's /etc/hosts.deny is commented out or removed.
I'm still a newbie with file sharing on Arch (and non-Arch Linux). Forgive me if the above comes across as somewhat amateurish.

Virt-install cannot mount nfs directory

Hi all,
I'm trying to use ovms but I cannot create any virtual machine.
I successfully installed OVMS; I disabled iptables to avoid network problems.
I created a dvd from Oracle Unbreakable EL 5.0 cds on a different machine.
The dvd image is shared by a linux CentOS box. The ISO image is inside /opt/tmp_os_isos/50 so I did
service nfs start
mkdir /mnt/dvd50
chmod a+rwx /mnt/dvd50
mount -o ro,loop /opt/tmp_os_isos/50/Enterprise-R5-GA-Server-i386-dvd.iso /mnt/dvd50/
exportfs *:/mnt/dvd50
and on the ovms server I did:
[root@ovms ~]# virt-install
What is the name of your virtual machine? giallo2
How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 512
What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /virtpcs/dischi/giallo
How large would you like the disk (/virtpcs/dischi/giallo2) to be (in gigabytes)? 30
Would you like to enable graphics support? (yes or no) no
What is the install location? nfs:10.10.10.242:/mnt/dvd50
And I always end up with the error
That directory could not be mounted from the server.
If I try to run
[root@ovms ~]# mount.nfs 10.10.10.242:/mnt/dvd50 /mnt/50
it works!
I also tried to build adifferent dvd iso, or to uso a OEL 4.4 dvd iso (taken from an original working oracle dvd) but I always end up with the same error
Where am I wrong?
thanks, andrea

I realized this problem was somehow related with the ovms installation: the pc I installed ovms on has two network card; when I installed ovms I configured eth0 via DHCP (eth0 is linked to the office network and to internet) and I configured eth1 with a static IP (eth 1 is connected to a "private" network made by 2 more pc).
I also choosed to manage ovnms via eth1 (the network card witch has a statis ip), and everything regardind ovms has always been done via eth1.
Now I reinstalled ovms and I choosed to manage it via eth0 (si I put a static ip address on eth0) and everything seems working: I'm just installing OEL5.0 via nfs without any problem (I hope... :-) )

Problem trying to install XP via Boot Camp, computer almost died

Hi there,
I just recently purchased a 24" 2.8Ghz intel iMac 500GB harddrive with OS X 10.5.2. I plugged everything together yesterday morning and the computer was going fine, just liek a dream. On a side note I was genuinely impressed with the ease of setting up and how quick, intuitive and reliable the mac and OS X Leopard was.
This is a bit long but I think I need to go into detail what happened in order for any of you to fully understand what happened to my mac.
Later in the afternoon I decided to install Win XP via Boot Camp. I knew that XP SP2 or later and VISTA was recommended but I decided to use my XP Home Edition "2002 version" install disc instead.
I opened up the Boot Camp Assistant, partitioned 15GB of the 500GB harddrive, inserted WinXP install disc and the computer restarted with everything going to plan thus far. I was going through the install process as normal but I came to a window asking which partition to use to install XP ("c" or "d") or if I wanted to create another partition. I also had my iPod still connected to the computer and I think the installation recognised that harddrive too (all 12GB of space left on my iPod). I wasn't sure what to do so I decided to quit the install process by pressing the relevent keys ("press F3 to quit" etc). Upon automatically restarting the computer I first came to a white screen for about1 or so minutes and then a black screen came up with white text asking me to "press any key to 'something' the CD" (can't remember what the rest of the text was), but the keyboard was unresponsive. I turned the computer off and unplugged it as according to the instruction manual that came with the mac, waited the suggested 5-6 seconds, turned it back on but I came across the same screens. I couldn't eject the XP install disc either. I restarted the computer again, held down the eject button whilst restarting, the disc thankfully ejected but I then came across the same black screen but with no text, just a white flashing underscore cursor. I decided to remove my iPod and restart the computer again. AGAIN I came across the same white screen, then black screen with the flashing white underscore cursor and unresponsive keyboard. I decided to insert the OS X install disc 1 (I don't remember if I inserted it whilst at the black screen or if I restarted the computer and THEN inserted the OS X install disc). The disc loaded slowly but I eventually went through the install process (choosing your language) and then came across a window asking me "Where would you like to install OS X?" but I couldn't install it anywhere. I opened "disk utility" or some program with the word "disk" in it, had no idea what I was doing, somehow created a new volume (though I thought I was actually erasing the XP partition I set up earlier) but in MS-DOS FAT Format or something. I then was able to choose a place (or volume) to install OS X but I had to change the format of the untitled volume from FAT to something along the lines of "Mac OS X journaled (enabled)" (whatever that means). There were other format options available but I just chose the top one on the list (Mac OS X journaled (enabled)). I then made a full install of OS X 10.5.2 and late last night downloaded the latest pdate for Leopard (10.5.4) along with other updates. The computer is working fine now thankfully andeverything seems to be back to normal.
I just want to know what actually happened. What did happen to my computer? Did I somehow wipe the harddrive? Why didn't the computer reboot to HDD when I ejected the WinXP install disc? Which format is the HDD formatted to? What does "Mac OS X journaled (enabled)" mean? Also how come my HDD is 500GB whereas when I checked Boot Camp Asistant a second time (but not installing Win XP again) My HDD is 460GB with 440GB of available space? Is there still another partition I am unable to see? Is there an extra 40GB of data floating around the harddrive that I'm unaware of? What are the factory settings for my computer? I really hope I haven't formatted the disk and installed the OS to settings that weren't like how the computer was originally set BEFORE I regrettably tried to install WinXP via Boot Camp.
If anyone could respond or give me some sort of advice, explanation or help I would very much appreciate your assistance.
Cheers.

According to wiki "the documentation from Apple states that Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista is requisite for a Boot Camp installation, and it also mentions that trying to install an unsupported operating system could prevent the computer from booting even into Mac OS X". Sure that was from wiki, but it does seem to support and somewhat validate the problem I had with installing an earlier edition of XP.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BootCamp_%28software%29#Other_operatingsystems
Thanks for the info on the Filesystem info. My problem is that installing OS X on a mac is just a little bit more technical than installing Windows on a PC as there are a few more things to consider. Plus I'm not familiar with any of the utility programs as well. It's a **** miracle I managed to somehow create a volume to install OS X on when I thought I was erasing the partition I created for WinXP.
But I'm still not sure about the missing 40GB from my 500GB HDD. Upon coming to the desktop straight after OS X was fully re-installed I noticed that the HDD only had 460GB and that 440GB of it available space. So the full installation of OS X was 20GB, but where has the other 40GB gone? I swear I saw that I had much more available space on my harddrive (BEFORE I tried to partition my HDD under Boot Camp Assistant and stuffing up the computer). Is the missing 40GB from the ORIGINAL FACTORY INSTALL of OS X INCLUDING all my iTunes music and other files I uploaded to the computer earlier? It would make sense but there's no way, as far as I know, of checking this. Any ideas?
Cheers.

I can not use my mouse or keyboard when I am trying to install windows via boot camp

Please can you help!
I can not use my mouse or keyboard when I am trying to install windows via boot camp

Starting a couple of days ago my mouse and keyboard stopped working suddenly.
How are they connected? In my case they are wireless and their receiver is plugged into my USB hub. After an update I found the OS inexplicably not recognizing my USB hub and hence any devices which were plugged into it. My fix was to
plug the receiver into a different USB port (so I could use the mouse and keyboard; otherwise I would have had to use the OSK via Touch or pen.) Once I had normal access into my machine again I used Device Manager to remove all USB controller and
hubs (including hidden ones) and I then shut down, disconnected all USB devices and powered back up, this time using only Touch to get going. Once the OS had settled down I started plugging stuff back in the way that I wanted it to be recognized.
If I didn't have Touch I would have had to have left the wireless receiver plugged in both places which I assume would be OK. I have no idea why updates have such a catastrophic effect for USB devices.

Internal DVD Drive isn't working... must install Windows via Boot Camp

My internal DVD Drive has died. Just keeps ejecting every CD or DVD I put in it.
*The real problem is that i need to install Windows via BootCamp...*
I've already defraged my Hard Drive and partioned it for the Windows installation
But even using an external USB DVD Drive I couldn't get to boot up from it
to install Windows XP SP3.
BootCamp lets me use the windows disc that is inside my external DVD drive
and it even restarts... but after the restart chime, and the grey screen, it doesn't
start the windows installation... it continues to boot to my Mac partition.
(i've tried to manually change the boot disc in System Preferences, but it was in vain)
I also tried to use another Mac's DVD drive in Target Disk Mode... no results.
I even tried to Copy-Paste the entire file system of a Windows installation from a BootCamp of a friend but had no success making it to work.
*Is there any way I can install Windows with my external DVD drive?*
Because I don't have the cash for buying a new one right now...
And I really need windows installed via BootCamp...
Thanks in advance,

For this problem there no alternative > I bought a new internal DVD drive and then I was able to install Windows via Bootcamp.

Issue with backup NCS via NFS (Cisco Prime NCS 1.2.0)

Hello,

I have Cisco Prime NCS 1.2.0 and tried backup it to external resources, but I have issue with my free space:
NCS/admin# backup ncs repository backup_nfs

I have tried to add additional space and use command backup-staging-url (my configuration: backup-staging-url nfs://server2008:/nfs), but it didn't help me.
NFS share works perfect. I have checked it via NFS repository:

Everytime when I try create backup I receive error message "You do not have enough disk space available in your repository to complete this backup".
Does someone know how can I backup NCS system?
Thank you

How much space is availabe on that NFS mount point? It looks like to me from the error message that there is only 12 GB....
The backup-staging-url is just for a space used to stage the backup before it is written-----

What is a good program to install windows via a flashdrive...Have the iso

What is a good program to install windows via a flashdrive...Have the iso...

What are you trying to do?
You can install Windows in a Boot Camp partition and have a Dual Boot system where you run one operating system at a time. Either Windows or Mac OS X.
Or you can use one of the 3 available virtual machine software parograms to install Windows in a virtual machine on top of Mac OS X. Then you can run both Windows and OS X at the same time.
If you go with the Boot Camp option then you really need to burn that ISO file onto a DVD disc as Boot Camp likes to install from disc.
If you go with the virtual machine option then you can use that ISO file as it is to install Windows. You will just point the VM to the USB thumb drive to find the Windows OS to do the install from.

Is installing Windows via bootcamp bad for my hardrive? (It crashed)

Hello,
I purchased my new Macbook Pro 13" in January of this year, and my hardrive recently completely crashed. I was lucky enough to have Apple pay for a new hd, but I really want to know what caused it. The only thing I can think of that makes any sort of sense is that installing Windows via bootcamp screwed up the hardrive somehow and caused it to fail from getting worked too much from always restarting into Windows / having too much of my hd dedicated to Windows (150 gb of my 750gb SATA hd). I dont know if any of this makes sense, or if I just got really unlucky and got a bad hd from the factory. I have never physically damaged my macbook (like dropping it or whatever) and have never stored it in extremely hot or cold temperatures. The copy of Windows I installed was legit and everything....so I am scared to reinstall windows in fear that my hd will fail again
So my question is this...... is there any way that the bootcamp partition could have cause my hd to fail? Is it safe to go ahead and install windows again?
Thank you for you time.

I have never heard of bootcamp causing hard drive failure. I think it is more likely that you were unlucky and ended up with a bad drive. Something like 1 in 100,000 fail, that 1 has to land on someone. If you are worried about bootcamping again I would recommend Parallels or VMWare Fusion. They are both excellent virtualization applications and offer a soft cap on the windows partition size because it is a file kept inside of OSX instead of a physical partition. I have been running Parallels for 6 months with no problems.
Best,
Stuart-

Yes, you are a genius!!!
It works! Thanks a lot!
Is it possible to update OVS documentation? It think, it's quite important to have such example of configuration.

Can I install Reader via GPO

Hello,
I've got an organisation (about 100 PC's/Laptop) that has multiple versions of the Reader software, going back to 8.1.0. I'd like to get everybody up to the same version, but the quantity (and geographic locations) of machines means that's all I'd do. I've recently started using GPO to install some software, so my questions are:
Is it possible to install Reader via GPO.
If it is possible do the users need administrative privileges to the machine or can the they be normal users?
Thanks in advance
Tony

See this document for some information on Adobe Reader deployment: http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/reader/pdfs/deploying_reader9.pdf (sorry, I don't know if there is a new document specific for Adobe Reader X).
Also, you can download MSI installers
9.4: http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.4.0/en_US/AdbeRdr940_en_US.msi
10.0: http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.0.0/en_US/AdbeRdr1000_en_US.msi

Can't re-install apps via App Store after deleting them.
I tried cleaning all appstore.plist, cache, cookie files.
The problem remains the same.
Please advice.

☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select
/var/log ▹ install.log
from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

Can't update/search/install packages via pacman or yaourt

Everything was fine until I manually installed package-query and yaourt and now I am unable to update/search/install packages via pacman or yaourt.
Earlier I was having trouble installing the package-query and yaourt packges using pacman so had to install them manually and now it wont connect to the repos.
My eth0 is up, the proxies are set, all browsers work so no problem from the network side.

clfarron4 wrote:I usually advise against this (mainly because it's out-dated) but there is the [archlinuxfr] repository for installing yaourt, if you really insist on sticking with it. Once you're done, disable the repository though because everything except for yaourt is out-of-date by at least a month.
Don't ever suggest that. The repo is 100% useless since it is trivial to install yaourt from aur. Also yaourt/package-query in that repo is often broken/outdated.
Also it is not relevant to op's problem anyway. There were some routing issue to leseweb the other day, I also noticed it. Just switching mirror works fine.
