Re: [CentOS-docs] How to back up a running KVM guest
Hi Ralph Thanks for setting up the page. http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BackupKVMGuest I have written a first draft and I will improve it over the coming days. But is it going in the right direction? When I get to the next milestone I'll post the link to the Virtualization mailing list asking for feedback. How do I make the title appear as a title but not appear in the contents? Can we keep discussion on list on not fall back to private On other lists I'm a member of it's normal to send messages direct rather than to the list unless the content is of general interest. This reduces the number of people who opt for digests to reduce the noise, so speeds up communication. However, I can see this is not consistent with CentOS ethos of open-ness and collaboration. So yes, I will reply to all CentOS lists in future, unless it's obviously not appropriate e.g. security related. I also noticed how quickly you people reply in both forums and lists, which is great - I will try to keep up the pace. I do not appear to have permission to edit my home page: http://wiki.centos.org/JulianPrice Does that come later after I have written some acceptable articles?

[CentOS-virt] Tips for installing Fedora 10 32bit Xen PV domU/guest on CentOS 5.3 dom0/host
Hello! Xen and related packages (libvirt, virt-install, virt-manager etc) in Upcoming CentOS 5.3 support running and installing Fedora 10 (and Fedora 11) paravirtual domU guest virtual machines. These upstream fixes (new features) make it possible: RHEL5.3 xen: include support for booting Fedora 10 DomU (i.e. bzImage support) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=457199 update virtinst to install f10 xen guests https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=460585 But beware there's a bug in 32bit x86 Fedora 10 installer (anaconda). It installs wrong kernel to the domU (it should install kernel-PAE but it installs normal kernel), and that will prevent the domU from starting after installation. Xen only supports PAE kernels for 32bit PV guests. It's this bug: anaconda installs the wrong kernel for i686 xen guests https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470905 It can be fixed by using a kickstart file for installation, which forces installation of kernel-PAE instead of normal kernel. Example of such kickstart: http://pasik.reaktio.net/fedora/f10-xen-domu-ks.cfg Fedora 11 (current rawhide of 2009-03-24) does not have that bug anymore, so paravirtual F11 Xen PV domU installation should work out-of-the-box. I've tested and verified all the above works. Hopefully that helps someone :) -- Pasi ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt

Re: [CentOS] How to add ClamAV to Postfix?
Is there some standard way of adding AV to Postfix? clearly the best way is to add a wrapper program like amavisd-new or MailScanner which handles spamassassin and which ever combination of anti-virus programs you use. The postfix list and primary author, Wietse will tell you flat out not to use MailScanner (there's something personal between Wietse and Julian, the author of MailScanner) but I found amavisd-new to be a PITA and just love MailScanner myself and have never had issues with integrating MailScanner into Postfix mail queue. rpmforge has clamav/clamdb packages.

[CentOS] how to access encrypted EXT3 partition from Windows
Hi all, I know some may find this OT, so please ignore this if you think it's OT. I don't know any Linux-friendly Windows mailing lists / forums that will even bother with Linux related questions. I want to carry some data (client info, documents, photos, email, accounting stuff, etc) with me on a USB HDD, but want to encrypt it. I know one easy way to shared data between Windows Linux is to save it on a FAT32 partition. But, I can't encrypt FAT32, so instead I'll format the HDD with EXT3 (probably on a LVM as well), and then encrypt it. I also know there are a few good tools for Widows to read EXT3 partitions, but I can't find one that will read encrypted EXT3 partitions (maybe I'm not searching the correct terms?). So, does anyone know how to access (read write) to EXT3 from Windows? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] [OT] Network switches
Rainer Duffner wrote: Switch performance is extremely difficult to measure IMO. You need enough clients to make sure you're not accidentally measuring client-performance. There's also a lot more to switches than pure performance, line rate switches have been around for at least a decade(switches that have enough bandwidth to have every port running at 100% utilization). If your running only a layer 2 network(who does that anymore?) then perhaps performance is the best measure, but for the well known top performing manufacturers of gear raw performance hasn't been something to be concerned about for some time in the 10/100 and GigE space. Now 10GigE is still kind of new as far as high density line rate, most chassis switches are not even line rate if you fully populate them with 10Gig ports. IMO - (no particular order) HP - Good for the lifetime warranty, lower support(contract) costs. Advantages for an HP shop since they likely tie in nicely to HP management tools. Extreme - Mature next-gen linux-based OS that's easy to use, lots of advanced functionality included out of the box. With a couple exceptions, line rate for 10+ years. Force10 - Leader in port density and switch performance, though it's been a couple years since I've seen a new product, most of their products are 4+ years old but still compete extremely well even today. NetBSD next-gen OS, still kind of new. Line rate since their inception almost a decade ago. Looks like they just released a new 10gig chassis yesterday. Was the undisputed 10gig leader for a while, others have since caught up, though this new product may put them way ahead again haven't looked in depth. Foundry(now Brocade) - Another leader in port density and switch performance, best known perhaps for it's interface clone of IOS. So if your used to Cisco you can adapt to these pretty easily and get much better performance. Not sure where they are at on their next gen OS. Line rate for a long time, perhaps 10+ years too. Unlike Extreme and Force10 Foundry offers products targeted specifically to do high performance routing(NetIron), as well as load balancing(ServerIron). Most of their edge switches are 1.5U instead of 1U, though they include hot swap internal power supplies. Most vendors rely on external power supplies for redundancy. Foundry used to have some non Ethernet offerings(e.g. T1, DS3 etc), but have since like many others eliminated all non Ethernet products. Cisco - overpriced, under performing almost across the board, I'm looking at replacing some older Cisco 7300 routers(which they still sell), with something from Foundry, their LOW end router is more than seven hundred times faster than the Cisco 7300, and the price is comparable. Cisco has a broad range of operating systems. Management is incredibly complex. Can be a one stop shop for most things network related, but while they share a common brand don't let them fool you into making you think they are well integrated and easy to use. Juniper - Somewhat new to the basic switch space though their 48-port 1Gig 1U switches are feature packed with gobs of flash, RAM, hot swap fan trays and power supplies (rare for a 1U switch), and a very fast stacking port(over 100Gbps if I recall). Juniper is of course best known for it's routers, and more recently firewalls after it bought NetScreen(?) a few years ago. I think their new switches use the same BSD(FreeBSD perhaps?) based OS that their high end routers do, if so it's very mature on the software side. 3COM - Not familiar to much with their recent products though personally weary of the company itself, it's working hard to get back into the enterprise space after abandoning it a decade or more ago. Linksys/NetGear/D-link/etc - if this is your price point then that's your price point, I'd suggest at least getting a good set of layer 3 switches for the network core. I personally have kept very close eyes on Extreme, Force10 and Foundry's product lines for 5 years or so, and more recently looking at Juniper as well. The sort of technology behind these products is very interesting to me, I'm the sort of person who will spend hours reading data and spec sheets on them.

Re: [CentOS] [OT] Network switches
Look there really are 3 tiers for network equipment. The first two tiers all give wire speed performance and have managed layer 2 and 3 options. The last tier is for consumer home use. Tier 1 might have high-end Cisco, Juniper or Nortel (and others) that have modular enclosures redundant power supplies and heavenly price tags. These are typically used in large enterprises that can afford them. Tier 2 might have Dell Powerconnects and HP Procurves and Cisco 2000 series products. These are good stable well performing products and are gobbled up in heaps by small and medium businesses. These are the usual choice for small enterprises and come in managed and unmanaged, layer 2 of layer 3, power over Ethernet of not or a combination of those. Tier 3 contain your Linksys, DLink and Zyxel brand products. They basically just get the job done, but might need reset every now and then and probably can't run more then 2 ports at a full 1GBe simultaneously. They are for home use and are prices as such.

Usually the problem is that due to earlier Cisco autosensing issues you have set the switch configuration to not negotiate and replaced the connected device with one that does. With current equipmement and software auto negotiation almost always works, but if one end has been locked, the other has to assume half-duplex which is always wrong. If you still have very old equipment you might still have to lock a port or two. Strangely, none of the usual network monitoring tools will detect a duplex mismatch - although if they are both Cisco's they will see it with CDP and log it.

IHMO, by the time the mail is handed off for delivery into the mail store, it's too late as one cannot return an appropriate 422 (mailbox full or user over quota) SMTP response to the sender. Our solution has been to use a postfix hash table under smtpd_recipient_restrictions which generates this response for users who are over quota. This hash is maintained by a cron job that runs periodically to get users who are over their quotas. The cron job parses ``repquota -a'' output to build the table, and is quite fast. One could also use an MySQL or postgresql table for the same purpose, although I suspect the hash tables are more efficient.

However, in a lot of scenarios there are several choices, each with a different set of bugs that you won't know about unless you open a TAC case and tell an engineer exactly what features have to work for you. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Performance data is not the most important metric, at least for me. For me, the big problem is reliability and security. My problem with used cisco is that getting access to the firmware usually costs more than the used parts I'm buying... If I'm going to use the thing as a router at the head of my network, I want to be sure that the thing can be secured, and sometimes that requires a firmware update. If someone sold support contracts (by support contracts, I mean firmware. I don't need help, I just need the firmware.) for old switches for less than the value of the switch, I'd buy.If someone sold switches with open source firmware, I'd buy.

Oh God, I hate the most ugly Cisco compatibility matrix. What a horror show! It's like a big crap shoot picking a firmware image! I actually like the Dell Powerconnects. They are solid performers and offer switches of all capabilites. A 48 port Gbe layer 3 managed (web and cli) powerconnect with PoE on all 48 ports (not 24 out of the 48 like some similar Ciscos) goes for around $2000 a comparable Cisco one goes for around $3800. -Ross ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
