[CentOS-es] AYUDA URGENTE-LINUX Y DOS
Mira, intentemos dividir el problema para vencerlo ;-). 1-) El primero de los problemas que tienes es realizar lo conexión con el servidor, por lo que he leído de hilo ya lo tienes montado en un directorio de tus clientes ubuntu. (hasta aquí creo que tienes el problema 1 resuelto. Luego veremos que deberas hacer un ajuste del directorio donde montas el recurso compartido del w2k.) 2-) Para que tu aplicación pueda funcionar en linux necesitas un emulador del sistema operativo (en este caso DOS) eso lo puedes hacer perfectamente con WINE. (El wine le permitirá a tu aplicación utilizar los recursos del sistema operativo Linux incluida la interfaz de red). Lo que deberías tener en cuenta es cómo está configurado tu acceso directo del escritorio que quieres replicar en linux, por ejemplo en que DIRECTORIO DEL SISTEMA OPERATIVO DOS se ejecuta. Esto es importante para poder saber donde deberías montar el directorio compartido del w2k en tu sistema de archivos Linux, para de esta manera replicar perfectamente lo que hace la aplicación en las máquinas clientes originales. Por ultimo queda aclarar que una instalación de wine tiene el disco C:\ apuntando al siguiente path en tu sistema Linux /home/tu usuario/.wine/dosdevices/c: Espero haberme hecho entender. Cualquier duda con gusto explicaré más.

I have no trouble at all with them in my Windows virtual machine, but the Linux version starts up, displays the window/frame outline, then crashes and dies silently. Since Adobe doesn't provide any useful channel of communications for support to users of its free products, even though they are essentially ubiquitous and somewhat essential (for things like this), apparently their recent breakthrough in the area of supporting Linux systems does not include actually supporting Linux systems users. So, since I have made that enormous leap of logic, I wonder, is anyone else experiencing this problem?

MHR writes: Okay, I'm being noisy today. I have VMWare Server 1.0.8 installed on my CentOS desktop, and it runs my XP and CentOS guests just fine, though I don't use them much. [...] VirtualBox is pretty good, but if you need USB support, it's not exactly plugplay. Even in the non-OSE version, you need to enable the device explicitly in the Devices menu before the host sees it; in the OSE edition, you may be able to use a USB device through a shared folder, but I haven't tried it. The good thing is that VirtualBox works on processors without virtualisation features. Kernel updates require rebuilding the vbox modules, which is elegantly solved (IMHO :) by integrating it into the RC script (service vbdrv setup). I've only recently started playing with KVM and am surprised how slow it is. USB support isn't plugplay either, one needs to lsusb and specify the device by id on startip, and supported screen resolutions depend on which gfx hw is emulated. Also, it needs virtualisation support in the cpu. I would personally not recommend it for a desktop OS (i.e. to put Windows capabilities on the desktop), but it's probably fine for headless Linux servers. I'd consider VMware player what you describe as well-integrated software, so that's another alternative. No idea about supported screen resolutions, but I found under kvm that the -vga standard option offered a wider range than -vga vmware; the latter required installation of the vmware gfx drivers that are part of vmware tools. Moving VMs is an interesting exercise. While the image formats seems to be mostly compatible or convertable, the Windows installation is probably not. When I moved from vmware player to VirtualBox at home, I was unable to get the Windows image to work because of driver issues.

[CentOS] Disable specific LUN on a SCSI bus
Hi all,
do you know if there is a way at boot time do disable specific LUN's on a SCSI
bus of a particular controller?
I'm trying to write an udev rule, but it seems that the system ignores the
vendor model/name of the controller...
For example: I want to disable /dev/sdb; so I gather some information with
udevinfo -a -p /sys/block/sdb and I try to use them to write
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-custom.rules
ID==?:0:1:0, BUS==scsi, DRIVER==sd, SYSFS{model}==DDYS-T36950N,
SYSFS{vendor}==IBM , OPTIONS=ignore_device, OPTIONS+=last_rule
I put the ? on the ID field because I know that the order of the controller
can change (a kernel update could trigger the switch); also I tried with and
without the spaces at the end of vendor and model: no change
Where am I wrong? It is a different way of doing this?
TIA
Ciao

[CentOS] NFS freeze when transmitting big files
Hi, I have one old spare PC, a PIII with 128 MB RAM, that I use as a spare file server. I have a headless CentOS 5 install on it, and a 2 terabyte external USB harddisk. The machine is in my basement (because it's quite loud), and I'm using what's called CPL here (Courant Porteur), which is basically Ethernet over 220V power lines. It's much slower than normally cabled Ethernet, but it works OK. I setup an NFS server on this machine, with the big 2TB storage on the external disk. On the first floor, on my main PC, I setup a consistent mounting of the NFS shares in /etc/fstab, and it works. Now here's the problem. Some of the files are quite big, usually movie files that can make up to 4 GB. More often than not, when I cut/paste such a file from my local harddisk to the server, it's quite slow (understandably, due to the slow CPL connection), but then the operation freezes in the middle, the cursor is unresponsive, even [Ctrl+Alt+Backspace] doesn't work, and I have to do a hard reboot. Now I wonder what this phenomenon can be due to. Some strange bottleneck effect due to either lack of RAM to the server or the slow network or both? Any ideas?

[CentOS] San boot failure after upgrade to latest
Hello All: Had an issue after upgrading to the latest CentOS kernel from kernel-2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 to kernel-2.6.18-164.15.1.el5 on an IBM HS21 blade with SAN boot. Upgrade went fine, but after rebooting the system was unable to find /boot even though it was mounted. The reboot displayed an error with fsck.ext3 that /dev/mapper/mpath0p1 was not found, which was the /boot volume. I reverted to the old kernel and it booted fine. At first I tried rebuilding the initrd to include the multipath modules, but this had no effect. I ended up just re-labeling all the ext3 filesystems and the changing the /boot line in fstab from the /dev/mapper/mpath0p1 device to LABEL=/boot. This resolved the issue. Any idea why the latest kernel did not see the /boot volume when specified as /dev/mapper/mpath0p1? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Simply plugging in my older Microsoft MultiMedia Keyboad 1.0A and some crappy old mouse, both of which are wired with PS/2 connectors, resulted in the problem going away. This kind of sucks because I like using my keyboard and mouse and I dont intend to leave these old things connected to my pc. I gather this means that the bug, that seems to have floated around for what 6 yrs, still hasn't been resolved? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Sorry, my bad. RHCS
I can tell you how I did it for a 2-node heartbeat cluster. I enabled
the cron jobs on both servers, and had the following snippet at the top
of each script:
[ ! -f /usr/local/etc/db_inc.sh ] exit 3
. /usr/local/etc/db_inc.sh
getactivestatus
if [ ${activestate} = no ]; then
exit 0
fi
So in the file /usr/local/etc/db_inc.sh, I would define a function that
would return whether or not I was the active node. An example of this
would be:
getactivestatus() {
if [ `cl_status rscstatus` = all ]; then
activestate=yes
else
activestate=no
fi
}
You'll need a command that determines the active/passive status for RHCS
to put into the getactivestatus() function, then you should be all
set...

[CentOS] very strange
i have 2 servers in a datacenter and each of them has 2 virtual machines one is linux the other is windows of wirtual machines. when i want to transfer my ip addresses between theese servers , for ex: let me say main server 1' guest windows : A main server 1' guest CentOs: B main server 2' guest windows : C main server 1' guest CentOs: D when i handle an ip of any computers ip in network from A or C it directly handles, no matter where the ip routed from cisco router :D but when i want to handle any computers ip in network from B or D it never get the ip from other source :D how this could happen :) ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
