[CentOS-virt] RHEL 5.5 Xen fixes
Hello, RHEL 5.5 has been released, and it contains many Xen related fixes. Here's the most important of the them.. fixing a dom0 caching bug which could cause domU disk corruption when the domU disk was accessed from dom0 after the domU was shutdown.

Re: [CentOS-virt] RHEL 5.5 Xen fixes
My 2 cents: When Red Hat picks a release of kernel, xen, kvm, etc., they tweak, change, and test it until its 'enterprise' ready. If they say you can run a business class server with it, I believe them. Based solely on how well centos works. Even though RHEL 5.4 doesn't have the newest of anything, it does what it does well. Even if I have to put up with fewer features or fixes than the current version, I'm leaving it alone. I'm sure there are guys that can install newer releases of everything needed to run the latest xen, and it might be stable, it might not. ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt

I'm sure there are guys that can install newer releases of everything needed to run the latest xen, and it might be stable, it might not. In my experience (several hundred RHEL xen boxes, and maybe 40 xen.org xen boxes over five years.) until recently, the xen.org xen kernel was quite a bit more stable than the RHEL xen kernel. (I mean, it didn't crash, but you'd have weird hangups with things like xenconsoled dying, or a guest's network suddenly no longer passing packets.) The RHEL xen kernel has been getting markedly better over time, though, and the RHEL xen kernel has /much/ better driver support than the xen.org 2.6.18 kernel. My next server at prgmr.com will likely have either the the CentOS xen kernel or the opensolaris xvm xen kernel rather than the xen.org xen kernel for that reason (assuming I can get PVGRUB working and that paravirt ops linux guests work, which I believe they do.) -- Luke S.

Thanks, Sandra sandra-llistes wrote: Hi, I'm not a GFS expert either :-) In fact, I erased all the configuration of the cluster and try to do it again from scratch with luci/ricci configuration tools (perhaps I did something wrong last time) mount -vv gives the following information: [r...@node1 gfs]# mount -t gfs -vv /dev/home2/home2 /home2 /sbin/mount.gfs: mount /dev/mapper/home2-home2 /home2 /sbin/mount.gfs: parse_opts: opts = rw /sbin/mount.gfs: clear flag 1 for rw, flags = 0 /sbin/mount.gfs: parse_opts: flags = 0 /sbin/mount.gfs: parse_opts: extra = /sbin/mount.gfs: parse_opts: hostdata = /sbin/mount.gfs: parse_opts: lockproto = /sbin/mount.gfs: parse_opts: locktable = /sbin/mount.gfs: message to gfs_controld: asking to join mountgroup: /sbin/mount.gfs: write join /home2 gfs lock_dlm gfs-test:gfs-data rw /dev/mapper/home2-home2 ...

RAM 0-0x7fff, Paged ROM (aka Sideways ROM - SWR) 0x8000-0xbfff, OS ROM 0xc000-0x.

So then some clever person thought what if I put RAM in there. The first use was to be able to load ROM images into it, so effectively letting you change the language ROMs you wanted to use. But with some bank switching it was possible to create a RAMdisk (the BBC was well designed for this sort of expansion). 128Kbyte RAMdisks used 8 of the SWR banks, typically on a expansion daughter board. Since floppy disks at the time ran from 100Kbyte (40track single sided single density) to 720Kbyte (80track double sided double density), a 128Kbyte RAMdisk was nothing to be sneezed at. Next step was shadow memory. The BBCs designed shared the program memory with the screen memory. The highest resolution was 20Kb in size (which ran from top of RAM down). Add in OS overheads (3.75Kb) and you didn't have much space for programming! So another form of paging was used to help here; the OS write-character routines were intercepted and banks were switched so the pixels were drawn and then the banks switched back. From a well-written programs perspective this was transparent.

All Rights Reserved. TouchWare for Linux Kernel Module Issues Date Originated: 3 August 2006 Created by: Damir Suljic Date Revised: 21 May 2007 Revised by: Damir Suljic Overview The TouchWare for Linux Software, part of the MicroTouch™ Software Suite, uses a kernel module for the Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6 operating system. This module is responsible for communicating with the touch screen controllers in a touch system. This document details known issues with kernel module not jet resolved or incorporated into released product. It gives basic steps to resolve the problems on users’ site, and describes suggested changes required on source RPMs. The document first covers a build process of the kernel module and structure of source RPM. It explains how to customize the Source RPM and deploy it on target systems with new changes. The list of known issues will follow including problem description and details about system affected. Source RPM Build and Structure TouchWare package is in form of Source RPM and main reason for this is Kernel module included in this package. In one Linux system the kernel module needs to be built and linked against current kernel version, and since Linux has vast number of kernel versions available we decided to allow users to build our package against their version. Now with every new version it is possible to hit a situation where kernel module will not build or will not load on target system. After initial installation of source RPM into build directory (usually “/usr/src/rpm directory”) the building binary RPM (all this is described in Readme file included in package) will have either failure while building or while installing binary RPM. In both cases you will have to investigate in more details what and where in process the errors were happening. In case of build error the command line output will give more information what file did fail to build. If binary RPM build successfully but after installing it kernel module did not load, you can check this by issuing “lsmod” in command line and look for TWDrv, check “/var/log/messages” file for errors related to TWDrv (“invalid module format”, “unresolved sysmbols”, etc). Customization of Source RPM To make changes on source RPM you will have to extract TWDrvSoureces.tgz file (usually found in “/usr/src/rpm directory/SOURCES” directory) in temporary directory “/usr/tmp/mytemp”. After extracting sources change directory to “/usr/src/mytemp” and you will see directories and files from our package. One of the directories is TwDrvKit where the kernel module files are located. Make needed changes on TWDriver.c file. Test build it by issuing make command, and insert module with “insmod TWDrv.ko”. If the changes were acceptable, change directory to “/usr/tmp/mytemp” and issue “tar –czf TWDrvSources.tgz *” (it is * for all files in current

Anyway, it's nice to see so many people have dumped Fedora for pretty much the same reason as I have, more than a year ago in favour of CentOS. And this was after almost two years of discontent with Fedora. Fedora works fine for my play laptop. I have it setup so that critical data is backed up to my fileserver so even if I lose the drive rebuilding just takes 20 minutes or so and I'm back where I left off. I don't use it on any infrastructure stuff at my house, but it's definitely easier to get things like networking, eye candy demo window managers, graphics software, etc.. going under Fedora. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Well, I love to make people laugh so I'll chime in here. I do use Fedora for some hosting, and I'm very happy with it for that purpose. The reason I like it better is that the packages are more up-to-date. Not bleeding edge, but more current. I'd rather let Fedora manage my mediaWiki installation rather than deal with the updates myself. The trick is that you have to accept that you'll be reinstalling it in a year. With puppet and a little discipline, that's not a big deal. Spin up a new VM, get things running, and switch over DNS. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I can't imagine such a practice. I use at home only on my desktop for the bleeding edge support, but given the public approach to its model, its happened before that people have pushed bad updates that broke things badly. Just one of many reasons... I run Fedora on servers at home without any issues. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Unable to get software using Yum
Hi I am new to CentOS and been into Linux for about 3 months now. I first started off with fedora and also trying my hands on CentOS now. Basically i used yum to download softwares on the fedora box. I mainly require the snmp agent for my linux boxes so as to test my network management product. On some of the CentOS boxes the following command worked for me : yum install net-snmp it installed the snmp agent for me but on others i am finding it hard to install.

Re: [CentOS] Sending mail from CLI to another SMTP host
Hi all, Is it possible to send mail from CLI (bash, python) without any LOCAL SMTP installed, using SMTP on another machine. Care to give a glimpse of the code? Thank you. But of course, just cause the smtp server you are pointed at initially is local, interpret that as 127.0.0.1. So point to another. Most home users don't have their own smtp server, they use their isp's... http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/mailx.html Supports SMTP to send messages directly to a remote server. A local sendmail interface setup is thus not necessary. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
