Re: [CentOS] Where is the blktrace utility?

2007-09-08 Thread gjgowey
I was bored so I looked around just to see if I could find this anywhere.  The 
only place I found it was 
http://mirror.steadfast.org/debian/pool/main/b/blktrace/blktrace_0~git-20070718142546.orig.tar.gz

Not sure if it'll work (haven't compiled/run it), but I think it's an unpatched 
ver.

I keep reading that RHEL/CentOS 5 supports blktrace, but I can't seem 
to find the blktrace/blkparse utilities. 
  
Is it that just the functionality is available in the kernel, but the 
user is left to have to hunt down the latest versions of the utilities

If anybody knows where to get the latest versions of these utilities 
I would greatly appreciate it.

[CentOS] KDE-Repos

2007-09-08 Thread Timothy Kesten
Hi Folks,

I'm verry impressed about CentOS 5. Verry stable und fast.
And yes, I know, it's mostly used as a server system. Nevertheless, I'd like 
to use it as my Desktopsystem also.
My question: what is your experience with the KDE-Repos? Is it dangerous to 
use it? Or is it reliable?

Thx
Timothy

[CentOS] CentOS promotion team at T-DOSE in Eindhoven (NL) on 13-14 Oct 2007

2007-09-08 Thread Dag Wieers
Hi everybody,

CentOS will be present for the first time at the Technical Dutch Open
Source Event (T-DOSE) in Eindhoven, NL.

We have a booth at the entrance as well as a presentation about
Virtualization, presented by Daniel de Kok (danieldk). No doubt the
presentation will include information about the new CentOS Virtualization
SIG ! (Other topics are still accepted for T-DOSE)

If you're interested to be more involved with CentOS, helping out at the
booth, volunteering to give a presentation or organising your own
presence or event is a good way to meet CentOS community members and
users.

Feel free to contact me for more information or join the centos-promo
mailinglist and introduce yourself.

More information about the T-DOSE event and other events is available
from:
http://wiki.centos.org/Events


Hope to see you there !

 Chuck,
 
 I'm suprised that the raid array wasn't named as
 /dev/mapper/isw_xxxyyyxxx

raid arrays are real hw raid on the 3ware card, and show up as very large 
disks.

I was trying to install to a single drive (non raid) in the earlier messages.

 
 to be named as /dev/sdc suggests that anaconda didn't use dmraid.
 To be sure that the installer missed using dmraid, you could do a quick 
 knoppix (4.0+) live session and try to mount and read the fakeraid array 
 named above.

There are no fake raid arrays, just the hw raid arrays and the two individual
disks, which show up as sda and sdb (very large 2Tb disks) and sdc, sdd which 
are the two single disks.

 
 If you don't find the isw_ device, then you will have to redo the install, 
 adding the dmraid kernel parameter along with dd text dmraid.

The install never runs, it just hangs as I described, so I have nothing on
any of the disks...

 As far as the blank screen, while in the knoppix session try to see if your 
 xorg.conf is missing a modeline. If missing, add a modeline suitable for your 
 monitor.

Not a blank screen, a screen full of hash with an X cursor which changes to 
the arrow, but I cvan't see anything in the the hashed up screen.

I'll look for the xorg.conf details in knoppix, but how do I use those to do 
a centos graphical install?

This is what you said in the OP 
quote
The intent is to install the OS onto the 2-320GB drives on the motherboard 
controller (preferrably in a raid 1 configuration).  The other disks are for 
our data requirements.

/quote

The MB controller is fakeraid and to use it would require the dmraid support in 
the install.
Was your MB setup by the reseller with the 2 320 GB drives in Raid1? What shows 
in the Intel Matrix Raid bios? 

I have installed Fedora on such a SuperMicro board and we went Raid1 using the 
onboard device. What's easy to mess up is the boot order menu. If you want to 
boot from the Raid1 array, you have to bring it in as one of the choices. If 
you have never setup Linux on a SuperMicro its a little tricky.

[CentOS] Performance of CentOS as a NAT gateway

2007-09-08 Thread Bart Schaefer
We have a single 3GHz P4 box w/2GB RAM running CentOS 3.8, acting as a
gateway, which serves multiple IP address, having one virtual
interface for each IP, e.g., eth0:1, eth0:2, etc.  These
interfaces/IPs are on the public internet.  Each of these IP addresses
is the NAT address for a different small LAN.  All of these LANs are
connected through a single Linksys 100Mb switch, to eth1 on the
gateway.  Thus, in case it's not obvious from that description,
traffic from LAN X travels through through the switch to eth1 on the
gateway, where iptables translates it to the IP address of eth0:X and
thence out to the net.

The gateway is totally idle except for handling these NATs; no other
processes except the usual OS bookkeeping.  All NIC and switch
hardware involved is 100Mb.

This all works, but we're experiencing network congestion somewhere.
The LANs appear to become saturated when only about 10Mb of total
traffic is passing through the public IPs.  That is, we seem to be
losing almost 90% of our capacity somewhere in the translation.

Before we attempt to sweep this under the rug by using Gb
NICs/switches for the LANs, we'd like to understand what's going on.
I can't find any recent statistics for Linux NAT performance, but the
older stuff I can find (e.g. 50k packets/sec for a P3-450Mhz) seems to
indicate that the gateway should easily be up to the task of handling
the NAT traffic.  Am I wrong about this?  Is there any way to diagnose
whether the NAT is the bottleneck?  Would we benefit from upgrading to
a newer CentOS (2.6 kernel as opposed to 2.4)?  Or is it more likely
to be the switch, in which case what would be a recommended
replacement for the Linksys?

I can provide more details in private mail if necessary.  Thanks in
advance for any ideas.

Re: [CentOS] Performance of CentOS as a NAT gateway

We have a single 3GHz P4 box w/2GB RAM running CentOS 3.8, acting as a
gateway, which serves multiple IP address, having one virtual
interface for each IP, e.g., eth0:1, eth0:2, etc.  These
interfaces/IPs are on the public internet.  Each of these IP addresses
is the NAT address for a different small LAN.  All of these LANs are
connected through a single Linksys 100Mb switch, to eth1 on the
gateway.  Thus, in case it's not obvious from that description,
traffic from LAN X travels through through the switch to eth1 on the
gateway, where iptables translates it to the IP address of eth0:X and
thence out to the net.

The gateway is totally idle except for handling these NATs; no other
processes except the usual OS bookkeeping.  All NIC and switch
hardware involved is 100Mb.

This all works, but we're experiencing network congestion somewhere.
The LANs appear to become saturated when only about 10Mb of total
traffic is passing through the public IPs.  That is, we seem to be
losing almost 90% of our capacity somewhere in the translation.

Before we attempt to sweep this under the rug by using Gb
NICs/switches for the LANs, we'd like to understand what's going on.
I can't find any recent statistics for Linux NAT performance, but the

Have you checked speed and duplex settings?  If you want to make sure that 
your CentOS 3 is not the bottleneck, there are CentOS 4 and CentOS 5 Live 
CDs you could test.

  Hi,

 I am not aware of anyone working on php-5.2.x for CentOS-4 or CentOS-5
 at this time. If someone wants to step forward and offer to 
 maintain it,
 we can consider hosting it in the centos-plus repos.

I have a nice 5.2.1 RPM built (and srpms) but it uses the newer MySQL 5
libraries and is on CentOS-4. It also has the Suhosin Patch,  mcrypt, and
mhash, which might be a bit out of date.

I can put some time into these if someone is interested, get them up to date
and tested. I have been looking to a reason to build a CentOS-5 buildbox, I
am sure I can put together an RPM for it.

All NICs on all machines involved report exactly the same:

  negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok

We've also checked ifconfig on all interfaces, and no errors, dropped

   You can find them here:
  
   http://vault.centos.org/debuginfo/
  
   But if you need the latest version, you have to ask CentOS devs.
 
  Thanks,
 
  Of course I need the latest.
 
  Can these be compiled from the kernel SRPM?
 
  That way I will just do it myself.
 
 Yes, of course you can. That should not be a problem.

Thanks everybody. Compiled installed and got my system taps to work.

Just now have to refine them now.
