CentOS

I began looking at Alma Linux, inside VirtualBox, so I could evaluate it first, but unfortunately it requires x86-64-v2. Things are rarely straightforward :( "Fatal glibc error: CPU does not support x86-64-v2" https://i.ibb.co/ZVgXp3T/Alma-Linux9-1.jpg I did some research. It seems that Redhat has ...

If something works in Oracle Linux Y and RHEL Y, then it should be fine in AlmaLinux Y and Rocky Linux Y too.

Sorry to ask again, no more centos release will come ? and what about centos stream 8 and 9 ? Soon after the Red Hat's announcement about CentOS two new projects did start. They are AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux. Their mission is: Do what CentOS did (but better). CentOS 7 is a clone of RHEL 7. Similarl...

An alternative to EPEL is CentOS SIG's repo: The package 'centos-release-ansible-29' should be in the 'extras' repo.

Note though that EPEL and SIG pack ansible bit differently, and are thus
mutually exclusive on that aspect.

The only supported way from A to B is to back up the data and do a fresh install. Red Hat had tools that did work only on genuine RHEL, and not even on all installed systems. To install el7 now is a bit late -- it will be dead in one year. Both el8 and el9 do exists. If you want spiritual equivalent...

Adding noauto,nofail,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=300 to options of /etc/fstab entry makes systemd generate an automount unit on boot. That is an alternative to autofs. The map in OP post does use wildcard ( * & ). That is kind of convenient -- one rule for many mounts. One could just ...

A disk has partition/volume(s). Those have filesystem. Filesystem has files. When you say that you "can access the secondary disk", we do assume that you mean that you have mounted the filesystem that is on the disk and therefore can access the files. A database engine is an application that reads/w...

FirewallD is a front-end . "User friendly" abstraction that hides the lower level details. Debian-based distros seem to have similar front-end, ufw (Uncomplicated Firewall). Up to el7, the kernel had netfilter for the rules. You were able to read (and write) those with 'iptables'. Starting with el8 ...

Can I remove them and keep only the last one or the last 2 one.

Yes. Package 'yum-utils' has utility 'package-cleanup' that can be used: It does actually call yum, so you get to [y/N] what it would remove.

See man package-cleanup for what else it can do.
