Re: [CentOS] redundant networked secure file system recommendation

I would like to set up something where I can easily have more than one redundant server, security/authentication (this part seems a little flaky with NFS, at least did several years ago), with the capability to easily add/remove servers as necessary, take redundant servers down for maintenance, etc. Total volume we expect to run on the server side will be somewhere between 10-30 TB. The servers will most likely be CentOS machines, the clients mostly Linux machines with some Macs and possibly Windows (the latter part not that important). Any insight, thoughts and recommendations will be much appreciated. Thanks. Boris. I think about buying a HP LeftHand SAN wich is an iSCSI cluster sytem.

This was discussed here not very long ago.
From /usr/share/doc/initscripts-8.45.30/sysconfig.txt:
PEERDNS=yes|no
modify /etc/resolv.conf if peer uses msdns extension (PPP only) or
DNS{1,2} are set, or if using dhclient. default to yes.
So PEERDNS=no in the right /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-X

We cannot get it to work reliably with any version of CentOS5, i386 or x86_64, the included 3.0.x version of samba or 3.4.x/3.5.x compiled from source. The symptoms are: read access is extremely slow, write access seems to work in principle (e.g. creating a zeros-sized file on a share), but writing even small files (100k) to the share eventually times out with out of memory or disk space errors. These shares are home directories NFS-mounted on the samba server. Shares of local disks work fine as expected. We have played with oplock settings and got some improvements, but not reliably, and this seems to effect XP and Seven clients differently. Surely we are not the first to run into this sort of issue? Given the range of tested software, the problem appears to be specific to CentOS5. If this was a general CentOS problem you would propably find tons of information on bugs.centos.org and bugzilla.redhat.com. I bon't use samba on CentOS 5 myself but it's really hard to believe that it is a CentOS related problem. I rather think it is some trivial common problem like network issues (duplex/speed missmatch) or some problem with the storage.

Re: [CentOS] perl updates always break perl programs, how to fix?

I would love to figure out how to fix this so it's not such a headache to keep up to date with perl, but I can't figure out how. I tried moving my /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl directory out of the way and installing perl-Scar-Util using yum but it doesn't let me because the perl-5.8.8 rpm owns the man file for that. I'm not sure why the default Scalar-Util (isn't it built in to the base install of perl on CentOS) doesn't work in the first place? Also I do add perl packages via the dag/rpmforge repo, not sure if that messes up the perl updates too. Sorry I realize this could also be classified as a perl question -- but I'm hopeful other centos admins found a way to get their centos back into compliance with the yum updates.

I am however having a few issues and I'm probably thinking to complicated on them. My first one is the fact that updates aren't working from %post. Under the assumption name resolution is working, see above with the static configuration, the issue is then most likely importing of gpg keys. I've got these lines in %post: # GPG keys echo Importing GPG keys ... rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY* Wich keys are that? You don't need that for the standard repos. /usr/bin/yum -y update The yum is obsolete use the repo kickstart feature instead. When they're uncommented the box hangs, i'd love to see output. Change to vt3, manually by using Alt+F3, automatic by using chvt 3 as first line in %post My second issue is a cosmetic one. I want to set a standard prompt in /etc/bashrc. Out of the box the bashrc PS1 lines: if [ $PS1 ]; then [ $PS1 = \\s-\\v\\\$ ] PS1=[...@\h \W]\\$ I have to make changes to that second line so a sed substitution would probably be my best bet. I'm not sure how to grab the part i need and change it. Manually i change that line to: PS1='\...@\h:\w\$' I'd like to get %post to do that for me. Well sed is a choice or patch or maybe replace the file all together. Next, i'd like to alter /boot/grub/grub.conf. I want to set it up for serial terminal support, so i have to add a serial and terminal lines at the top of the file say after any comment blocks that might or might not be there plus add console=tty0 and/or console=ttyS0,9600n8 to the append lines to however many kernels are there. Again, i'm assuming sed but i'm not sure how to get the parts i need and edit. If you use the serial console already at installation everything will be done for you. Appends will be automatically set and dealt with on kernel updates.
