Re: [CentOS] binding additional IP addresses to centos6 on one interface
Jonathan Vomacka writes: Reindl, A block of 10 IPV4 is not a lot, and they will all eventually be used. My question is, my server IP is 66.80.x.x and my additional IPS are in the 50.7.x.x range using a netmask of 255.255.255.248. Can the netmask be written in the range file like it is in the ifcfg-eth0:0? Reindl, Please do not top post. 255.255.255.248 gives you a total of 8 IPs, not 10, of which usually you loose 3 for the network, broadcast and gw addresses. You can assign those 5 in a range file without problems, you can also specify the netmask like in a normal cfg file. It shouldn't be needed to specify other settings. Where I work we'd route the additional subnet through the IP you already have on the server, thus allowing you to allocate _all_ 8 IPs as a range on the loopback interface with a /32 netmask. See if your ISP can do this for you. -- Nux! www.nux.ro ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

These databases track a variety of attributes and meta-data related to the mail store such as seen-state, annotations, quota, text indexing, etc... Actually though, berkeley db is used by an awful lot of daemons such as OpenLDAP, Netatalk and is reasonably durable and to be honest, I've been using Cyrus w/ berkeley db's since the early 2000's and never had a problem whereas there have been times when I've had to slapd_db_recover berkeley db's from OpenLDAP. Same here. I've never had a corrupt BDB in Cyrus, but I have had them in OpenLDAP. I've talked to numerous people who have had issues with BDB in Cyrus. The issue is that BDB is extremely sensitive to the environment, so it is hard to know when it is 'right'. Always best, IMO, to avoid it. I gather that by comparison, PostgreSQL and MySQL are considered comparatively much slower and never used for these servers. True, BDB is *MUCH* faster. But then BDB is a key-value data store, and PostgresSQL / MySQL are relational model databases.

[CentOS] high availability ideas
Hi, I'm looking for some recommendations. I need to have some sort of high availability for a set of php mysql web sites, they must be hosted on 2 servers, in separate data centres and obviously on differrent IPs. I can't use a load balancer because that will introduce a single point of failure making the distributed setup useless. I was thinking some sort of drbd/glusterfs/mysql-master-master replication and figure out how to make the dns system responsible with the fail over. Am I going too far with this? Thanks. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] VM Philosophy 101 - How many and for what?
We are at the stage, finally, where we are prepared to deploy public facing VM guests. Now we have to answer these questions: How many guests in total should we contemplate and what services are placed on which guests? My question comes down to whether it is considered advisable to run the primary DNS and IMAP, or indeed all services, on separate vm guests; or should we continue, more or less, with the present split and just move everything into guests on a one-for-one basis from our existing hosts? Will additional vms necessarily increase the amount of time given to system maintenance as I suspect? Previously, with only a few physical hosts, the number of platforms was fixed and services were split more or less on the basis of internal and external users. Not to mention which host had more available resources at the time the service was implemented. For example, presently our primary DNS and the IMAP services runs on one server with MailScanner controlled Sendmail used only for local delivery and forwarding.

Re: [CentOS] VM Philosophy 101 - How many and for what?
On 11/14/2011 10:58 AM, James B. Byrne wrote: We are at the stage, finally, where we are prepared to deploy public facing VM guests. Now we have to answer these questions: How many guests in total should we contemplate and what services are placed on which guests? My question comes down to whether it is considered advisable to run the primary DNS and IMAP, or indeed all services, on separate vm guests; or should we continue, more or less, with the present split and just move everything into guests on a one-for-one basis from our existing hosts? Will additional vms necessarily increase the amount of time given to system maintenance as I suspect? Previously, with only a few physical hosts, the number of platforms was fixed and services were split more or less on the basis of internal and external users. Not to mention which host had more available resources at the time the service was implemented. For example, presently our primary DNS and the IMAP services runs on one server with MailScanner controlled Sendmail used only for local delivery and forwarding. On another host we run the publicly accessible MX MTA and a secondary public DNS. On a third we run our fax server and public web site together with a caching only DNS service. I very much would appreciate any relevant comments from people who have already resolved this matter together with their reasoning. My experience is that the limiting factor is disk I/O. If you're using traditional platter drives, the VMs will span physically differing sections of the disk(s). If the different VMs hit the disk at the same time, the read/write heads will start flying all over the disks and the seek latency will go up. This can quickly degrade performance to an unusable level. If you use SSDs, this issue goes away but then you need to pay special attention that your host OS properly uses the SSDs (TRIM, garbage collection, etc). As for processing power; I used to pin VMs to CPU cores. I've since abandoned this as I found the scheduler to do a great job and pushing loads around cores to get best performance. hth -- Digimer E-Mail: digi...@alteeve.com Freenode handle: digimer Papers and Projects: http://alteeve.com Node Assassin: http://nodeassassin.org omg my singularity battery is dead again. stupid hawking radiation. - epitron ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

There's only what you know, how you can adapt what you know and how well you can make it work for you and how much time you are willing to give to learning something new. If I may expound a tad, and I will endeavor to keep this brief, it goes one step farther than this. It becomes a balance of how much time and effort will it take to adapt what you know to your task? against how steep is the learning curve for something you aren't proficient in, but is already known to do your desired task? And sometimes, if not most of the time, it's a three-way balance with what is the cost, monetary or otherwise, to get someone else to do it? As an example, I have four relatively nice SGI Altix IA64 systems here. I would prefer to run CentOS on them, since I can't afford RHEL for them, nor is RHEL 6 available for them. I have the knowledge to rebuild EL6 on the boxes, but I honestly don't have the time to work through all the details, even though the geek packager in me desperately wants to try. The latest Debian Stable works quite well on the boxen, but my knowledge of Debian is somewhat limited. So, I have a three-way balance between: 1.) Pay the cost of RHEL, with the knowledge that RHEL 5 is the last for IA64; 2.) Maintain my own private or semiprivate rebuild for IA64 of EL 6; 3.) Install Debian and get the boxen doing something (and potentially generating revenue), and climb yet another learning curve. I chose 3 at the moment. It was not an easy choice. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] bond of bonds
Hi, I am trying to use Link-aggregation with redundancy between switches that doesnot support SMLT in switches. I have 4 network ports. First two are connected to a switch and LACP/LAG is enabled. Third and Fourth ports connect to another switch with another LAG group. I was thinking create two mode 4 bonds and bond those bonds to mode 1 (Active/Passive) bond. But it seems this is not supported yet in kernel (?). How do you guys handle this kind of situation. (And yes without using SMLT between switches).

[CentOS] CentOS versus Scientific
Hey folks, I was just reminded of the Scientific distro, which on the surface appears to be quite similar to CentOS even when the developers over there are rather coy about which Enterprise Linux distro they base theirs on. I wonder if anyone here has done a comparison of the two that they'd care to share. I work in a Scientific Research Lab (Stem Cell Research) and am wondering if there is anything about the Scientific disto that might be better suited to our needs, even if it is only the fact that it is put together by people who work in similar environments and would therefore understand our needs better. I'm just starting to read up on it to see what I think and thought I would ask what others think. One thing I will have to look into of course is what kind of support there is - this list is absolutely fantastic for CentOS and that alone is worth a lot. cheers, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of In Defense of Food ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Changes at Red Hat confouding CentOS (was: What happened to 6.1)
These seems to me to be the first message in the series and provides a really good summary of the changes at Red Hat which seem to be making life a lot more difficult for CentOS. Just figured I'd pull it out of that thread and change the subject line. Below Johnny's email I've copied another from the original thread, written by Lamar Owen, which gives some good explanation on how Red Hat is able to get away with this. Basically from what I gather, while Red Hat cannot restrict access to sources, they can restrict access to binaries. And since CentOS has a goal of binary compatibility with upstream, they are essentially left trying to hit an unknown target. But (now I'm stretching my limited knowledge even further) Scientific does not have this restriction since they are less concerned about exact binary compat.

I don't blame him for being confused. Up until right now, you updated to a point release, then, over the weeks and months, there were updates. All of a sudden, there are *no* updates for the 6.0 point release, which is a major change in what everyone expected, based on history. this is the way it has always been: once upstream releases x.y+1 , there are no more updates to x.y (in upstream and therefore also in centos), until centos releases x.y+1 . Yes, but that used to be transparent, because the centos x.y+1 release happened quickly so it didn't matter that the update repo was held back until an iso build was done. Yes, and NOW the release process is MUCH harder. Red Hat used to have an AS release that contained everything ... we build that and we get everything. Nice and simple. Build all the packages, look at it against the AS iso set ... done. Two weeks was about as long as it took. Now, for version 6, they have: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation FasTrack (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server FasTrack (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop FasTrack (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Linux Scalable File System (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Linux Resilient Storage (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Linux Load Balancer (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node FasTrack (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Linux High Performance Network (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization They have the same install groups with different packages based on the above groupings, so we have to do some kind of custom generation of the comps files to things work. They have created an optional channel in several of those groupings that is only accessible via RHN and they do not put those RPMS on any ISOs ... and they have completely changed their Authorized Use Policy so that we can NOT login to RHN and use anything that is not on a public FTP server or on an ISO set ... effectively cutting us off from the ability to check anything on the optional channel. Now we have to engineer a compilation of all those groupings, we have to figure out what parts of the optional channels go at the point release and which ones do not (the ones that are upgrades). Sometimes the only way to tell is when something does not build correctly and you have reverse an optional package to a previous version for the build, etc. We have to use anaconda to build our ISOs and upstream is using something else to build theirs .. so anaconda NEVER works anymore out of the box. We get ISOs (or usb images) that do not work and have to basically redesign anaconda. We can't look at upstream build logs, we can't get all the binary RPMs for testing and be within the Terms of Service. And with the new release, it seems that they have purposely broken the rpmmacros, and do not care to fix it: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=743229 So, trust me, it is MUCH more complicated now than it was with previous releases to build. With the 5.7 release, there were several SRPMS that did not make it to the public FTP server without much prompting from us. And with the Authorized Use Policy, I can not just go to RHN and grab that SRPM and use it. If it is not public, we can no longer release it. So, the short answer is, it now takes longer.

[CentOS] Centos 5.7--desktop icons are now a blank sheet of paper with the .desktop filename and they don't work
Just rebooted my box (switched keyboards, and since it's a PS/2 keyboard, it needs to be done at poweroff) and when it came back up, (almost) all the desktop icons I've created (as distinct from the ones that came with the system) now don't display correctly. Instead of the graphic assigned to each, it's just a picture of a blank sheet of paper with the corner folded over, and the icon text is the name of the .desktop file that defines the particular item. worse, when I click one, they don't work... I get a popup window containing this text (when attempting to fire up a local rebuild of Audacity, or the appropriate name when attempting to use one of the other ones): The filename Audacity (local build).desktop indicates that this file is of type desktop document. The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type desktop configuration file. If you open this file, the file might present a security risk to your system. Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or received the file from a trusted source. To open the file, rename the file to the correct extension for desktop configuration file, then open the file normally. Alternatively, use the Open With menu to choose a specific application for the file. I don't really know what settings could have changed, but the ownership and permissions look reasonable to me: the files in my ~/Desktop folder look like this: $ ls -l total 88 -rw-rw-r-- 1 fredex fredex 305 Jul 9 16:15 Audacity (local build).desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 fredex fredex 859 May 22 16:24 bar-008d741c23.desktop -rw-rw-r-- 1 fredex fredex 376 Nov 11 09:16 Firefox-4.desktop -rw-rw-r-- 1 fredex fredex 311 Nov 10 14:00 fred's desktop on cibf-fred1pc.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 fredex fredex 442 May 27 19:53 gegl-00efc0b78f.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 fredex fredex 981 Oct 30 2009 greasy-00f830171b.desktop -rw-rw-r-- 1 fredex fredex 288 Jun 25 2010 Osmos.desktop -rw-rw-r-- 1 fredex fredex 369 Jul 10 23:14 Pysol-FC.desktop -rw-rw-r-- 1 fredex fredex 378 Feb 22 2011 quadra.desktop drwxrwxr-x 2 fredex fredex 4096 Jan 27 2011 radio stations -rw-rw-r-- 1 fredex fredex 359 May 24 21:14 razorsql.desktop and the Desktop folder's permissions are: $ ls -ld Desktop drwxr-xr-x 3 fredex fredex 4096 Oct 25 15:03 Desktop note that the Desktop folder contains a subdirectory named radio stations, and that its representation on the desktop looks correct. but when I click on it to open up that folder, all its contents are also broken in the same way.
