I'd like to know what the cause of a particular DB server's slowdown might be. We've ruled out IOPs for the disks (~ 20%) and raw CPU load (top shows perhaps 1/2 of cores busy, but the system slows to a crawl. We're suspecting that we're simply running out of memory bandwidth but have no way

[CentOS] RasPi 3.x and RH-based Distro (Slightly OT)

With the release of the Rasberry Pi 3.x, I think we have a platform I could jump on board with. Performance has just been lacking until now! But I really don't want to jump the "RH ship" - I'd rather stick with an environment I am comfortable in. Can anybody comment here on the best way to

[CentOS] What to do when you've been hacked?

No, we haven't been hacked. ;) We have a prospective client who is asking us what our policy is in the event of unauthorized access. Obviously you fix the system(s) that have been compromised, but what steps do you take to mitigate the effects of a breach? What is industry best practice? So

[CentOS] // RESEND // 7.6: Software RAID1 fails the only meaningful test

(Resend: message didn't show, was my original message too big? Posted one of the output files to a website to see) The point of RAID1 is to allow for continued uptime in a failure scenario. When I assemble servers with RAID1, I set up two HDDs to mirror each other, and test by booting from

Re: [CentOS] LVM failure after CentOS 7.6 upgrade -- possible corruption

My gut feeling is that this is related to a RAID1 issue I'm seeing with 7.6. See email thread "CentOS 7.6: Software RAID1 fails the only meaningful test" I suggest trying to boot from an earlier kernel. Good luck! Ben S On Wednesday, December 5, 2018 9:27:22 AM PST Gordon Messmer wrote: >

[CentOS] In place upgrade of RHEL 8 Beta to CentOS 8?

I'm about to rebuild a server, currently running CentOS 6. If I have to do an OS reinstall, my intention is to upgrade, as it's the oldest OS server under my purview. As this server is pretty low visibility, I'd like to see if I can start using EL 8 instead of 7.x. In the past, I was able to

Re: [CentOS] Recommended PHP 7 source for Centos 7

Second vote for remi. Running 7.2, no issues on EL7. The only config issue I've had is getting it to work with php-fpm and apache, but that was almost all apache config files. On Thursday, April 18, 2019 10:16:01 AM PDT Jose Maria Terry Jimenez wrote: > El 16/4/19 a las 0:39, MRob escribió:
