I am using vzdump tool which make use of LVM to do snapshot of the VPS which ensure that there is data consistency during the backup as the VPS is online while the backup is performed.

A small issues just happen today which took me a while to figure how to resolve the issues.

While the vzdump is performing a backup of one of my VPS, i hit with this error

Feb 21 01:33:32 INFO: tar: ./boot: Warning: Cannot savedir: Input/output error

The first impression is that the disk might have issues, but after 5 mins of verifying of the physical disk’s health, I have notice that it is due to the LVM snapshot created during the backup.

The default size that vzdump create for the logical volume is only 500MB, you need to increase to a higher diskspace provided your Volume Group has enough free space.

nano -w /usr/bin/vzdump

Edit 500m to a higher diskspace as needed.

run_command (\*LOG, “$lvcreate –size 500m –snapshot –name vzsnap /dev/$lvmvg/$lvmlv”);

Hope this helps …

Now you can get yourself verified for Free and save yourself $2 . Go ahead and verify yourself.

I was upgrading GD on one of my DirectAdmin box and I got into this error. Seems like one of the compilation program version is outdated therefore I have to update them manually.

wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.9.tar.gz
tar zfx m4-1.4.9.tar.gz
cd m4-1.4.9
./configure –prefix=/usr
make
make install

At the same time, I will upgrade autoconf as well

cd /usr/src
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.61.tar.gz
tar xzf autoconf-2.61.tar.gz
cd autoconf-2.61
./configure –prefix=/usr
make
make install

Hope this help someone out there and as a reference for me in future

How to disable ipv6 on CentOS 5 (which most of the box are enabled by default)?

1) Edit /etc/sysconfig/network and set “NETWORKING_IPV6″ to “no”
2) Add the following to /etc/modprobe.conf :

alias ipv6 off
alias net-pf-10 off

3) Uncomment the following item from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (do it for eth1 if you have more than 1 NIC)
#IPV6ADDR=
#IPV6PREFIX=

4) Turn off the iptables for IPv6 chkconfig ip6tables off
5) Lastly, reboot the system
