A handy little script for gathering system information is
getinfo, it's available from elrepo
$ sudo rpm --import http://elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org
$ sudo rpm -Uvh http://elrepo.org/elrepo-release-6-5.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpm
$ sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo Disable it by default
$ sudo yum -y install getinfo
Running it will save information to a temp file or post it to pastebin.centos.org.
All options can be run as a normal user but fdisk information can only be provided if run as root.
Check first the contents of the output file to ensure it does not contain any sensitive information such as public IP addresses or hostnames.
Commands
1. Basic info - appropriate for any and all CentOS questions. - getinfo.sh basic
2. Disk/filesystem problem - Basic + full disk info - needs to be run as root - getinfo.sh disk
3. Hardware/driver/kernel problem - Basic + hardware and kernel info. - getinfo.sh driver
4. Network problem - Basic + full network info. - getinfo.sh network
5. Package problems with yum, rpm, and repos - Basic + rpm, yum, kernel. - getinfo.sh package
6. Everything - Run as either root or non-root, but won't get fdisk info unless root. - getinfo.sh all (the default)
As an example run as unprivileged user
$ getinfo.sh driver
WARNING!!!
Not running as root. No fdisk, parted, blkid, or LVM information will be provide d!
