CodemasterMMthis might be a bit more suited for this channel08:10
CodemasterMMi need a bit of NFS help - i have a directory mounted from one machine (machine 'A') across to another machine (machine 'B') as /home/, but it seems that whenever i ssh into machine 'B' as a new user, it fails to create the user's home directory - this might be due to the fact that the home folder (on machine 'A') is owned by root and is chmod'd to 755... anyone have any idea how i can solve this?08:10

cy_hello05:28
cy_any of you work at an ISP? offering a web based control panel for the Customers and Resellers to use? Like cPanel, ISPconfig and DTC ? ... i'm looking for one that is easy expendeable (more than 1 server) to split up services on other hosts.. and which is the best for the users.. and ubuntu/debian servers .. anyone could share any thoughts/experiences?05:28

dthacker-ltHi, I'm doing a manual partition.  I want to set up lvm with two VG's then various LV's for filesystems underneath.  I can't seem to find the options to create Volume Groups in the partioner.  Can someone help?05:38
ScottKWhich CD are you using?05:44
dthacker-ltfeisty server05:45
=== kurosaki [n=kurosaki@ppp121-45-43-95.lns10.adl2.internode.on.net] has joined #ubuntu-server
ScottKdthacker-lt: I don't recall for sure which installer the server CD uses.  If it uses Ubiquity, then you'll need to use the alternate CD to do that.05:49
dthacker-lthow can I tell if it's ubiquity?05:49
ScottKOne sure way to do it would be do download the alternate CD and start an install.  If the U/I looks different, then the server CD uses Ubiquity and you need to use the alternate.05:51
dthacker-ltok05:51
ScottKSorry I don't have a clearer answer for you.05:52
ph1zzlehmmm, it's shame I wasn't around when CodeMasterMM was, no one told him that /home is supposed to be owned by root/75506:24
ph1zzledthacker-lt: I don't know about doing it on the server CD but I know I have often set them up manually on the Desktop CD, I did think there was an option though on the server CD06:25
ph1zzledthacker-lt: what all are you installing in the lvm? if it's not / then it's typically pretty easy to do after the setup has completed manually. Even if it is root thats not usually too much harder06:26
ph1zzleif you want /home or /var or something like that in lvm, do a minimal install to whatever sized / you would use before and let it create /home or /var or w/e and then leave the rest of the disk un initialized and create the lvm's afterwards, copying whatever you need and then tell fstab to mount it over /home or /var or w/e06:27
ph1zzlenow I have been afk drinking with friends since I asked last night so I am gonna try again06:29
ph1zzleI basically need to create a router/gateway, which is typically easy enough, but I have to do it where the computer will be connected to two seperate WAN's and when WAN 1 fails it will automatically switch routing to WAN 2 and when WAN 1 becomes available again it will detect it and switch routing back to WAN 1, I can do most or all of this manually but I was wondering if there was software out there that is designed to manage thi06:31
