 Try it.  Run find /usr -exec echo {} ; and see that you get one

Don't forget to backspace delimit the semicolon; the proper way to get 
data out of this example would be:

find /usr -exec echo {} \;

 I run Zimbra (commercial) on Centos for my employers and there is no

 Zimbra on Centos.  Where did this idea of no support for  Zimbra on  
 Centos  come from?

Based upon my experience with Zimbra (and other similar vendors), I'm a 
big fan of NOT having anything that they don't explicitly support 
touching the Zimbra box.  It helps keep the fingerpointing to a minimum 
when things end up going wrong; if they can point to the OS as a reason 
to claim a box is unsupported, they will; compared to the cost of a 
Zimbra license, the $400 or whatnot for RHEL is inconsequential.

Er, this was updated and linked, just noticed that.

But the update reads:
On the issue of support, it isn’t that you can’t run CentOS, it’s just 
that it’s not officially supported as a part of our release and QA 
engineering.

I'm not a fan of giving them that out to avoid supporting an issue. :-)

Absolutely-- but you'll note that even though the issue was customer 
inflicted, their FIRST response was to say CentOS isn't supported!

Had the customer been running RHEL, there wouldn't have been a 50 hour 
delay between CentOS is the problem! and Er, looks like it was an 
extra package the customer had installed.  Works on RHEL, you're 
running CentOS, while a canard in most cases, is very easy for a 
support organization to trot out.  Of course, your mileage may vary...
 The real issue is, when running complex multi-faceted software systems, 
 you really can't just update things at random and expect it to all play 
 nicely.
   
Obviously. :-)

 I have most things working except some MTA issue. I tried posting on the

 Anyway...

 I installed ZCS for the first time today. Most things are running except I 
 cannot send or receive mail. I get MTA errors. I assume that it is not 
 running. When I send I get unable to connect to MTA.

 How do I diagnose the issue?

Kill sendmail, postfix, exim, qmail, or whatever else you've got 
running.  One thing to be clear on is that Zimbra changes a LOT on your 
box; that's why in production I've always run it within its own VM, so 
it can break anything it likes without affecting anything I care about.

 I have not done anything with Postfix at allU am sure it is the Fatal 
 Bind message above, do I need to configure Postfix? I thought Zimbra did that 
 on install?
   
Yup.  It does.  But you need to kill any other MTA first.

The Zimbra setup guide is very clear about this-- how did you get this 
far along without referencing it?

There are many good resources on this when you google for squid AD

 What about striping the 4 1TB and mirroring that to a 4 x 1tb External
 drive enclosure?
 

 Plan for drives going out but keeping the site operational.  Also
 remember that RAID isn't a backup.

 RAID 5 is enticing because you get more usable space out of your
 drives, but you have to be sure you'll only lose one drive at a time
 and can get a replacement drive in there and sync'ed up before you
 lose a 2nd one...  If the drives were made by the same manufacturer
 and were bought at about the same time you might easily lose 2 or
 more, blowing up your array.

   

Right.  The problem with 1TB drives (and really, any modern drive with 
decent capacity) is that you're vulnerable until that array finishes 
rebuilding-- a process that's taking longer and longer.

I'd go with the RAID10 solution that someone previously posited.  By the 
time you outgrow that, you should really plan for a SAN/NAS solution 
anyway...
