[CentOS-docs] About Simplified Chinese Translation
Three days ago, I send this mail to all of you , but till today , I get no response, So, any one get my idea? Hi, Hello, everyone. My Name is GaoHu, I'm living in Hangzhou, ZheJiang, China. Last year, I graduate from college in ShanXi. Now, I'm working in a IT company that using Delphi and Oracle, with Our Server RHEL. I'm interest in Open Source and like CentOS as it is simple and stable. I like to use CentOS as my server, with Fedora as my desktop. I like linux and I just think there something that I can do. Then I see Simplified Chinese translation of Wiki is now operated by Timothy Lee(timothy.ty@gmail.com). But he also in Responsibilities of Traditional Chinese translation of Wiki. I just see that He use OpenOffice to help his job in Simplified Chinese translation. I think maybe I can help, for I'm living in the MainLand of China for so many years, and I use Simplified Chinese in my life, my job, and my communication with people. So I want to do something, I want more people in China to use free software, to do something for the Open Source Community, more people to know Linux, and using Linux, As we all know, there is still a lot of things to do. Thank you. Good Lucks, everyone. 2010-07-07 gaohu ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs
Re: [CentOS-es] Busqueda de archivos
2010/7/9 Alberto Rivera M. rivera.albe...@gmail.com: Buenas noches señores listeros tengo una pequeña duda Resulta que estoy haciendo una réplica de algunos directorios, algo así como un raid 1 entre dos máquinas pero necesito saber como afecta un grupo de aplicaciones en el sistema ya que no se puede copiar toda la estructura, por lo mismo he pensado hacer todas las modificaciones necesarias y luego hacer un find . -mtime -1 modificados.txt ... pero no sé si servirá para toodo el sistema ... Alguna idea de como identificar esto No sé si comprendo tu idea, podrías elaborar un poco sobre tus objetivos: para qué exactamente necesitas hacer esa réplica? Si se trata de tener un segundo equipo funcionando con las mismas aplicaciones sobre los mismos datos, estás en lo cierto, tendrías que replicar además los directorios de los cuales dependan las aplicaciones... lo cual es laborioso de averiguar. Sin embargo, una vez que lo averiguas, tu problema se reduce a replicar todos los directorios involucrados. Para replicar cada directorio se podrían pensar varias soluciones pero me temo que mientras el sistema de archivos esté montado y haya aplicaciones haciendo cambios, no hay soluciones completas. Una forma de lograr una réplica correcta sería utilizar un snapshot sobre un volumen lógico. Para esto necesitas un poco de espacio aparte. Al iniciar el snapshot tienes acceso a todos los archivos del LV con la seguridad de que ninguno va a cambiar en lo más mínimo hasta que deshagas el snapshot. Si hay actividad de las aplicaciones, se harán sobre otros bloques. No necesitas sacar el servidor de servicio, desmontar el filesystem ni detener las aplicaciones. Otra forma es pensar en una réplica viva, es decir, que se haga bloque a bloque sobre otro equipo, a medida que todo el sistema trabaja. Para esto la herramienta ideal es DRBD. Si lo que buscas es tener una réplica de un sistema completo para lograr redundancia de servicios, es una excelente opción. -- Eduardo Grosclaude Universidad Nacional del Comahue Neuquen, Argentina ___ CentOS-es mailing list CentOS-es@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-es

Re: [CentOS] Kickstart from tagged VLAN?
I've still been keeping this one simmering back burner and trying to figure the workflow for getting a system up and running with minimal user interaction. I do realize the PXE agents don't have any concept of tagged vlans. The thought was more along the lines of having the ability to specify a tagged VLAN id at the boot prompt when running an install from the console using a CD or USB drive. (ie passing arguments to the boot loader linux ks=http://localwebserver/ks/server.ks ip=10.10.10.10 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=10.10.10.1 dns=10.10.10.53) My previously supplied link had a link to this article about Anaconda being enhanced to support VLANs: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2009-0164.html I've been experimenting with Spacewalk/Cobbler so this kind of extends beyond just a basic CentOS install but whether Cobbler is part of the equation or not, the crux of the question is to verify if Anaconda has direct support for VLANs. I've been out of the office since I originally posted the question so I haven't had a chance to setup some systems to verify it for myself yet. I was hoping this was something someone else had previous setup something like this and could verify whether it would work. I plan on taking some time to try this out later today. This is how I envision the workflow: a switch interface has three VLANs setup untagged 99 (Spacewalk/Cobbler/PXE/dhcp enabled subnet) tagged 100 (main server subnet) tagged 101 (backup network subnet) Once the machine boots up it will get an dhcp provided IP from VLAN99. Cobbler has added an PXE entry for that machine to tell it what kickstart file to grab which it downloads via HTTP. Once that has been downloaded and processed the kickstart file will have the two tagged interfaces (ie eth0.100 and eth0.101) specified and from this point forward it continues the rest of the install process through VLAN100 interface, eth0.100. After it finishes up it, the system reboots and then no longer needs or uses the untagged VLAN. One of the issues I'm trying to work around is I'm in an environment when I don't have end to end control over everything. In order to get an interface changed I have to rely on a different team to make the change so if I need an interface reconfigured from untagged to tagged or from VLAN abc to VLAN xyz, I have to wait on someone to do it for me. So the logic is to have everything in place that I need from start to finish. When it's all over then the temporary untagged interface can be removed from the switch interface without disrupting the configured and deployed system. Hope that all makes sense. jeff On Wed, Jul 7, 2010 at 5:11 PM, Blake Hudson bl...@ispn.net wrote: Original Message Subject: Re: [CentOS] Kickstart from tagged VLAN?

You might also add native (untagged) vlan 1 to the existing tagged vlans - then you can set up a pxe-booting network on vlan 1 and once things are installed you can add the tagged vlan interfaces and optionally remove the IP address from the untagged (base eth device) interface. No, these are per port settings and do not require coordinated changes to any other switches, switch ports, or hosts. With the proposed config, untagged data between the host and switch would be processed as VLAN 100 - unbeknownst to the host. The host would have the base eth device setup without VLANs - this is VLAN 100. Any additional VLANs are setup as normal eth.vlanXX devices. As was said, this is just one way of doing things. Personally, I might propose that PXE setup be performed on a dedicated VLAN, once the server is setup it would then utilize a different set of VLANs for communication. --Blake ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Too many (other) variables change you'd not be able to say that it had to do with the processor specific optimization of the kernel. For this you'd need to benchmark the same dist but with optimized and non-optimized kernel.

Please let me clear those up and I apologize if my approach was askew or this answer is too long winded. Lets start with why I posted: I posted my observations ( and reported the bugs) so that anyone else running RH AS 5.3 or Centos that was trying to optimize their kernel for AMD CPU's would know there was a problem. A problem that Red Hat caused and has chosen not to address. That was the only reason I posted! To inform. Red Hat takes a standard kernel and modifies it, extensively. The standard kernel.org kernel works fine and supports this function. What is standard and supported in a kernel is decided by kernel.org. What is standard and supported in a Red Hat kernel is decided by Red Hat. The standard binary is built with the Generic X84_64 option selected. Red Hat's source code also includes an AMD Opteron option and an Intel EM64T option. Since the changes made to Red Hat's kernel by Red Hat since kernel 2.6.18-9 have broken one of these options but not the other two options I thought it might be useful to Red Hat and the Centos community to know that the AMD option is broken. The Generic x86_64 option and the Intel option work and compile fine. I tested these also. This is a bug, not something I broke. If I broke it, I would feel an obligation to fix it. Red Hat made the changes to the kernel source that broke this option. Next, I have only posted to this list over the past 5 years when I could report a problem I thought might be of interest or add, help fix or supply code for a work around, on an issue with RH Linux or Centos. So I think the comment about troll bait is out of line. Just my opinion, I could be wrong. :) I don't expect RH to do anything except what is in Red Hat's interests. This can be influenced (very slightly) by non-paying users, fully supported paying users and to some extent Systems Integrators (like my company) if they are listening and if, again, it is in Red Hat's interests. As a business owner, I would want to know about a problem with my product, especially if it costs me customers or profit or future sales. That is why we supplied some of the early drivers for 3ware cards for the Centos 3 OS. Our customers needed them, we supplied them free of charge. We have done this many times for many different linux based systems. I have received responses off this list that suggest that there are other people and organizations that indeed use optimized kernels in conjunction with RH AS and Centos. Some use a modified RH kernel, some use a newer standard kernel from kernel.org with options changed, some use the real-time extensions to the standard kernel. All of them have found that it provides better performance for THEIR applications. We have done similar work for many customers. When we changed the kernel and break it, we fix it. My intent was to inform and hear from people that had similar issues and to learn what they might have done to work around them. Not to cause a debate on business practices, criticize Red Hat or inflame the Centos community.

Re: [CentOS] Kickstart from tagged VLAN?
On 7/9/2010 1:32 AM, Jeff Hefner wrote: I've still been keeping this one simmering back burner and trying to figure the workflow for getting a system up and running with minimal user interaction. I do realize the PXE agents don't have any concept of tagged vlans. The thought was more along the lines of having the ability to specify a tagged VLAN id at the boot prompt when running an install from the console using a CD or USB drive. (ie passing arguments to the boot loader linux ks=http://localwebserver/ks/server.ks ip=10.10.10.10 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=10.10.10.1 dns=10.10.10.53) My previously supplied link had a link to this article about Anaconda being enhanced to support VLANs: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2009-0164.html I've been experimenting with Spacewalk/Cobbler so this kind of extends beyond just a basic CentOS install but whether Cobbler is part of the equation or not, the crux of the question is to verify if Anaconda has direct support for VLANs. I've been out of the office since I originally posted the question so I haven't had a chance to setup some systems to verify it for myself yet. I was hoping this was something someone else had previous setup something like this and could verify whether it would work. I plan on taking some time to try this out later today. This is how I envision the workflow: a switch interface has three VLANs setup untagged 99 (Spacewalk/Cobbler/PXE/dhcp enabled subnet) tagged 100 (main server subnet) tagged 101 (backup network subnet) Once the machine boots up it will get an dhcp provided IP from VLAN99. Cobbler has added an PXE entry for that machine to tell it what kickstart file to grab which it downloads via HTTP. Once that has been downloaded and processed the kickstart file will have the two tagged interfaces (ie eth0.100 and eth0.101) specified and from this point forward it continues the rest of the install process through VLAN100 interface, eth0.100. After it finishes up it, the system reboots and then no longer needs or uses the untagged VLAN. One of the issues I'm trying to work around is I'm in an environment when I don't have end to end control over everything. In order to get an interface changed I have to rely on a different team to make the change so if I need an interface reconfigured from untagged to tagged or from VLAN abc to VLAN xyz, I have to wait on someone to do it for me. So the logic is to have everything in place that I need from start to finish. When it's all over then the temporary untagged interface can be removed from the switch interface without disrupting the configured and deployed system. Hope that all makes sense. Unless you expect the switch to enforce some security restrictions for you there's really no harm in leaving an extra untagged VLAN active on the port. After you remove the IP address from the base eth? interface the host won't see it anyway (I suppose a few broadcasts would be handled by the NIC and then ignored...). If you use native vlan 1 as I suggested earlier, it would connect to ports with default settings, which might or might not be a good thing, depending on the rest of your network, but that would let a dhcp/pxe boot server span everywhere with access disappearing once you configure the host interfaces. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] lm_sensors and Shuttle
Hi All, I'm trying to get lm_sensors to work on a Shuttle with an AMD K10. The version of lm_sensors in the main CentOS repo is 2.10.7, which is two years old now. Support for the K10 was added about a year ago. So, does anyone know if there are binaries available for more recent versions of lm_sensors? Also, if anyone has knowledge of the sensors layout for recent Shuttle AMD motherboards, that would be very helpful. The sensors-detect script from 2.10.7 doesn't detect anything useful...
