Re: [CentOS] difference in x86 64 bit centos between 4.x and 5.xversions

If they are 64 bit, that answers the question too. If 32 bit, are they supported on 64 bit OS?

I wasn't rejecting server grade hardware. I was a bit irritated by the fact that I don't have server grade hardware, and every says get proper hardware. It ticked me off a bit that only a server can be good, and not a standard desktop which is also used to serve content to many people over the net. Rudi, dont be irritated. you can afford server grade hardware no prob. goto ebay and search for DL380 G3 Dual or DL360 G3 Dual both units do hardware raid stock. if you need more that 72GB hotswap hardware RAID1 total disk space, get a DL380 now or if over time disk space needs to grow a lot. DL380 will do hardware raid 1 and 5. the space you need and the scsi drives you purchase will be the larger cost factor depending on your decisions. the hot swap drives above 72gb in size will be the limiting factor in price if you want huge drives. 72gb and below are very inexpensive your current machine can serve, and possibly meet your needs, yet it wasnt designed to be a set and forget *server* we regularly see these machines for 50 to 150 dollars and with drives add another 50 to 100 bucks unless you need to go qty or super large. or get a buy it now package of some sort. way less expensive and much more reliable than any wothwhile desktops out there. the only drawback is knowing who to buy from and who not to because of shipping costs and if the seller is a pro and packs properly. - rh ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
RE: [CentOS] how can I stress a server?
And how does he squeeze that in 1U? AFAIR, Rudi's located in South Africa and has already stated several times that prices there for servergrade stuff are not as cheap as you can get it in some other areas of the world. May apply for Ebay deliveries to SA as well (if they ship at all to SA). And, looking at the Ebay ads, I sure wouldn't buy such a machine. I can understand that Rudi builds his own servers in that situation, I do this sometimes as well. One thing what I would have avoided if possible, though, is buy a board with such a new chipset that you can't even get lm_sensors to run. (Or you didn't research too well, Rudi. You can upgrade lm_sensors from rpmforge and you can get coretemp.ko patches for some chipsets. I had to do this myself for an oldish Intel 5000 server chipset.) That's another thing where server-grade stuff comes nice into play: the machines usually include BMC, so you are not dependant on lm_sensors and kernel. Kai -- Kai, it can be purcased and shipped to him, no biggie. :-) you ask how does a DL380 G3 fit in 1U? not a bright question. dont care. :-) all previous info was FYI it was noted in the email the DL360 G3 unit as well. it is 1U dont care doesnt matter if you wont buy said equipment. i have built between 600 to 1000 computers and would still rather have industrial type hardware if at all possible. for all of you on a serious budget and you want long term bullet proof basic server, the hardware mentioned does a most excellent job as do the G4 scsi units. they have hot swap hardware raid scsi drives they also can be purchased with dual hot swap redundant power supplies have what are called ILO ports so you can get into the machine from remote and power it on or off or see and interact with the console from remote (just like you were there in person) if you accidentally foobar a box and cannot get into it with ssh etc. way better than a home build in many circumstances, yet not all, of course. - rh ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

David, IME, it is typically (yet not always) a duplex and/or speed issue between the NIC port and the switch or device it is talking too. man ethtool ethtool eth0 and check to see what speed and duplex are currently in use... if duplex and/or speed are off I typically hard code a *managed* switch and the centos box on whatever ports as necessary by adding this line or one similar to it ETHTOOL_OPTS=speed 100 duplex full autoneg off To this and other interface files as necessary /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 At this point a reboot will take care of it or if you don't want to reboot now, Then I would make a little script called downup.sh ifdown eth0 ifup eth0 and then I chmod 750 that script and then call it like this if from remote ./downup.sh So I don't lose connectivity... There is probably a more elegant command like way to do that... Be careful if remote box and YMMV - rh ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
RE: [CentOS] DJB's daemontools package
I know DJB from the IETF; quite the personality. And actually before that as he went to UofM, and I went to MSU... But then the IETF is filled with people that stand out; it draws us together. I need the deamontools for the HIPL DNS proxy, and was looking for what my options were for setting it up. Source it is, it seems Robert There are some rpms and sources and specs out there. I just dunno if they are functionally perfect in patched for centos terms. One source/rpm/spec that came up looked promising... it was from qmail.org I think Anyways, you are experienced enough to do whatever you need to G'day - rh ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
RE: [CentOS] Need help with an odd issue I am experiencing
1. Comcrap is not available in my area I am on road runner biz through bright house with 15m down and 2 up and static ip. 2. Already tested without the internal nic running 3. Tried with a router in between and the result is the same. 4. I do agree about the negotiation aspect, which I'm looking into as well. 5. Don't notice any collisions or errors on ifconfig. I see, when I trace the domain you are sending email from I assumed it was you on a comcast link. Or maybe roadrunner resells comcast in your area or comcast bought roadrunner in your area? The dlsi.com dig pointing at 0.0.0.0 was interesting. Never ever seen dns point to 0.0.0.0 Shouldn't there be a error catch in dns server software for that situation? It's like using dns to route? Har har he. Or did you buy the internet? ;-) Man, if so, I wanna be your best bud cause I need a piece of the action to sell at a good deal ;- - rh ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
RE: [CentOS] DJB's daemontools package
Al wrote: I was going to recommend roughly the same thing. Oops, the word *source* can get you huh... ;- What I actually recommended was going to the source website to fully understand the usage and internals. At the source website you can get the software source and the reasons behind it. One can google for more info after that. I believe the OP is/was more than intelligent enough to get source and implement etc. I was a little ambiguous and I can do better in my language too. :-) Anyways, one should know how to install that software and use it from source on a test box before looking for an RPM for several reasons... There are issues with certain versions of software that have to be compensated for and you want to make sure that any rpm is for your distro and was rolled properly. Bottom line, some software (both in this case if I remember right) do or used to need to be *errno* patched, and may still need to be patched depending blah blah. Simple patches, yet patched none the less. - rh ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
RE: [CentOS] DJB's daemontools package
With all due respect... Do any of you that gave advice on finding DJB software in rpm format use any of the software that you are giving advice on finding in rpm format or otherwise? If you do use it, you can do better. :-) If not, well... then you are talking out yer' rear ends. It is best to go to the source and learn all you can, then make your own rpm or know what you are looking for in an rpm and specifically why. http://cr.yp.to and it wasn't the hard to google for daemontools rpm or the other packages in rpm format. - rh ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
RE: [CentOS] Re: Is there a way to save the routing table permanently?
Hasn't this been hashed over several times in the past year to the same end result? :-) It appeared to me the original issue (this time) was being able to do primary and secondary dns on one box with different ip addresses because the registrar needed two different ip addresses when registering a domain. If you must do it at home and you cannot get this solution to work as you expect, get a routed subnet on one side. or ...better yet, since both links appear to be residential, ask a buddy with a colo for for access and make it the primary dns and pull secondary on your residential, or get a VPS server or two, or something else... Unless it is a pure don't care if down sometimes hobby, having primary and secondary dns on last mile residential links, regardless of budget or your reliability perceptions, is not particularly wise. - rh ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
