On 12/04/2010 17:44, Matt Keating wrote: I found it works well with FTPing into the server and uploading to the mounted bucket. Reason its like this is that there are lots of different people who upload throughout our company. It was much easier giving out the FTP details, which were totally under our control (Username/Pass,Firewall,etc), rather than giving out the S3 logins. Sounds like a good reason :) I hope you are aware that everything you put on your s3 is publicly available if someone knows your bucket name. Yes, I am aware of that - its all being served on the net anyway. If I remove the Pubic read only, will the files still be accessible via cloudfront? I hope not. And a little test confirms this. If you are serving it out anyway that is fine. I just had a client that had all his backup files publicly readable, because of this type of configuration error. I tried mounting it like you, but just ran into too many problems, especially if you access files from many machines. What issues did you run into? As I haven't had any problems as of yet. If it is a one way transfer it is fine. But if you modify files etc caching issues where horrible. Files overwritten etc ... But if you are just pushing stuff onto a server it should work. For the backup I have used s3tools too. I have a little script that looks at what is in the bucket and what is in the local folder and then syncs them up. But I suppose that is what the fuse file system does :) For your auto-mount script. Can't you mount it when someone logs on over ftp. And then if no one is logged on any more unmount it.

Its goals are to enable developers to meet and to promote the awareness and use of free and open source software. It is said to be the biggest gathering of Open Source interested people in Europe and the speaker list is quite impressive. We will be leaving London on Friday (5. Feb) evening and returning on Sunday (7. Feb). One of our goals is it to keep the total cost for the weekend under 200 Pounds, which is quite cheep for a weekend in Brussels.

That seems like a bad place to put it, even if it does check (as I assume it must have) the current runlevel, and only deletes in runlevels [016] or [06]; if it gets killed too early, you could delete a file from /tmp that is needed to cleanly kill off a subsequent process. /etc/init.d/halt calls /sbin/halt.local, which might be a good place, except that it's already umounted nonessential filesystems by then, so if you have /tmp on a different fs putting it there won't work. (You could mount it from halt.local, clean it, then umount it, but that seems extremely kludgy.) You could write your own simple script and link it in /etc/rc[06].d/ to run after S00killall but before S01halt or S01reboot. (It is not clear to me whether enough processes are killed off that cleaning /tmp is safe here; might be worth testing in a noncritical environment first.) --keith As I said, I think that was were the code was added. Just not really sure. I remember the files were deleted on shutdown/reboot. Been reading and have seen it may be better to delete the tmp directory files on boot before any services start. What do you think? I have the /tmp in memory, which effectively deletes everything on reboot. Maybe another solution?

The Pub is mostly quiet during the week, has a fair selection of drinks and is central enough to most people in the city. The full address is : King Queens, 1 Foley St, London, W1W 6DL Here is a Google Street view of the place http://bit.ly/1PchSO We should be there from about 6:30pm onwards. And depending on how people feel about it, will move around the corner to Ragham, for some food around 9pm. When you get there, keep an eye out for people in CentOS T-Shirts/ Shirts. There is no real agenda except focus on beer and the food! However, you are welcome to bring laptops around and show off any cool stuff you've been working on ( iirc, there is no internet at the pub though ). There will be some promo stuff to give away and I will bring a few T-Shirts people can get for a little donation towards the project.

[CentOS] Berlin Beer event.
Hey After the London Beer event seams to become a regular thing I was wondering who in Berlin would want to participate in such a thing. I am visiting for BLIT [1] on the 21. November to promote CentOS and was wondering how many people would participate? It is always good to meet fellow Linux / CentOS users and exchange experiences and knowledge. Hope some people will get together.

[CentOS] Real world report for the Newsletter
Hey The last Newsletter survey found that many people are interested in how CentOS is used and what people do with it, I would like to invite anyone who has some spare time or has something to share to write a little article about how they are using CentOS. I suppose interesting stuff would be how many machines, how you manage them, what programs you use, stuff that has happened and stopped production (even funny stuff of the likes of rat in fuse) and pretty much what ever you want. If you don't want personal data appearing for security reasons we can work something out so that your server safety is not affected. Cheers and thanks for the help.

[CentOS] Newsletter feedback
Hey We have now published the sixth version of the Newsletter and I think it is time to ask YOU ( the reader ) what we can improve. The current trend is away from really technical details more to a light read and entertaining stuff. Is this a good way to go. Or should we focus more on the technical side again*. Or is the balance right? What do you want to read about? What sections do you want? Or just comment. I am happy about any constructive criticism. I hope you are enjoying the Newsletter. Cheers Didi *Of course the we will not become a only fun Newsletter.

[CentOS] Fwd: [BKO] CentOS for boot.kernel.org
Hey I would be happy to maintain such a thing but I would need someone as a backup. Cheers Didi -- Forwarded message -- From: J.H. wartho...@eaglescrag.net Date: Mon, Oct 19, 2009 at 9:51 PM Subject: Re: [BKO] CentOS for boot.kernel.org To: Geerd-Dietger Hoffmann riba...@gmail.com Cc: b...@hera.kernel.org Didi, I assume you mean with respect to the live images as opposed to the network installers (since we already support CentOS as a network install target). As for the live image there's a couple of things that would need to be figured out, (1) does the live image already support iscsi out of the box and (2) does it already support httpfs out of the box. (1) is possible, (2) I'm guessing is it doesn't, and likely never will officially. If the live image doesn't already support booting off of an iscsi target than adding it should be trivial, if it doesn't than we'll have to hack into the initrd and add it. It's not a *huge* change but it means the following to the initrd: adding: - networking into the initrd - iscsid - iscsiadm - lib files for dns resolution and then it's just a few small adjustments to the init script so that it brings up the iscsi interface, and puts the image in the right place before letting it plow forward as normal. Probably the most useful, to us, is if the kernel + initrd were separate like they are for the normal pxe installs but that's not a requirement by any stretch. I suppose the question ultimately becomes, is this something the CentOS project is interested in generally providing or are we looking at specific support for BKO? Just trying to figure out if we are going to end up in the having to forward port the changes continually on new releases or if this is something that CentOS is willing to pick up and maintain. - John Warthog9 Hawley Geerd-Dietger Hoffmann wrote: Hey I was wondering if I could help to get a CentOS image on boot.kernel Would be really nice to have more bistros available.

The only *official* artwork is whats on mirror.centos.org - and to be honest, i dont think we have either the sources for that stuff anymore neither access to the person who made them. I found the same, so I started a proposition. So, at the moment everything that we do should be based 'off' those images. We need to change that situation in the future, but not now. There are other things that need resolving first. The special emphasis would be on the logo and the fontface used in those images, we need to stick with that. For now anyway. The CentOS Logo is the main visual representation of CentOS Project. It is very important to have very well defined that visual representation over different backgrounds and available sources in order to let people improve it and propagate it along each CentOS visual manifestation (Websites, Promotion, Distribution), in the correct way. The correct way of propagating it needs to be described publicly somewhere (maybe in our wiki). I think that CentOS needs a Corporate Visual Identity Manual. Some sort of guide that let people have a reference for doing the needed work in a organized manner visually. Also define what visual structure we are following. How it is built and how it could be propagated. For example, in the Distribution area, Fedora project had do it very well in the following wiki page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/ThemingOverview I could organize what I have somewhere on our wiki for others to check and improve, if you are interested on it. That is a really good idea. I think a lot of stuff is already there in the artwork trac but needs a visual interface.
