Yes, many NAS devices does run an embedded Linux, or UNIX OS but they
normally also run on an ARM / MIPS / etc processor which I can't get
my hand on. And they normally also have a team of developers / testers
/ etc who spend their whole lives perfecting this particular piece of
equipment (either software, or hardware)  I don't have that kind of
resources to my disposal, which is why I want to go the Linux, or
perhaps even UNIX route.

I've bought two SAN devices in the past couple years, both run
Debian and both are tier 1 enterprise storage arrays. Of course
you wouldn't know they ran Debian or linux unless you tried
to telnet to them on port 22 and saw the SSH banner.

My active-active NAS head units runs CentOS 4.4 on IBM hardware
(back end disk storage provided by above array)

If you use a purpose-built appliance OS it should be pretty
comparable, e.g. openfiler or freenas(bsd based?) to something
like a Thecus. I used openfiler about 1.5 years ago mostly for
iSCSI and it worked ok, at one point had 4 shelves of HP MSA
SCSI disk drives attached to it each connected to dedicated
RAID cards on an older HP DL585.

I'm looking to get a Thecus N770 myself pretty soon, mainly for
the smaller integrated form factor with many drive bays.

These aren't centos based - or even all linux, but the software-NAS 
players are:
http://www.openfiler.com/
http://www.freenas.org/
http://www.nexenta.com/corp/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogsection&id=4&Itemid=67

Or you can just use a generic disto with separate configuration commands 
for each protocol.

I think many dedicated NAS devices, are in fact Linux machines, using an
embedded Linux system.

[CentOS] using Linux as a NAS / SAN device

2009-08-27 Thread Rudi Ahlers
Hi,

I'm looking at using Linux as a NAS / SAN device, and would like some
input from other's who have done this before?

How would it compare to commercial SAN devices, Thecus N8800SAS
(http://www.thecus.com/products_over.php?cid=11&pid=177&set_language=english)
or something similar to these?

I would probably use hardware RAID 10, and could go with either SAS /
SATA, and then probably offer iSCSI, Samba. NFS & rsync.
In terms of servers hardware, well either Tyan / SuperMicro / Intel /
Dell would be fine as well. But, my question is rather from a linux
point of view, how would Linux compare to dedicated NAS devices, in
terms of the OS managing the device?

You should probably do that, although it will probably not change anything...

Yes, there is the font rendering settings (monochrome/best shapes/best
contrast/subpixel smoothing [LCD]), and smoothing, hinting and
subpixel order advanced settings.

You can set those by running the "gnome-font-properties" program
(included in the "control-center" RPM).

It's possible to do those settings manually by tweaking
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf or ~/.fonts.conf, but it's a XML file with
arcane syntax...

You can try to remove any ~/.fonts.conf if you have any and see if
that makes a difference.

I agree that it looks better, but it doesn't seem to be as good as 
Ubuntu.  I have Thunderbird using the msttcorefonts.

Should rpm -qi freetype show both my built version and the other one as 
well?

I don't remember how I ended up with the slightly older verison, but I 
can try updating.

There's got to be some setting I'm missing that makes the fonts look 
just a bit better, because I think they still look rough.

I have a screenshot from an Xubuntu install that I did and you can see 
the terminal in the shot. 
http://img329.imageshack.us/img329/6611/screenshotohr.png

Not exactly the best comparison, but you can see the terminal text is 
quite a bit clearer than on CentOS:

If you have problems on 32-bit applications (I, for instance, used to
run a 32-bit Firefox on a 64-bit machine to get Flash support without
nspluginwrapper) you should build a 32-bit RPM and install it too.

You can do that with this command:

$ LDFLAGS=-m32 rpmbuild --target i386 -bb freetype.spec

You might need to install glibc-devel.i386 and libX11-devel.i386 to
build that one.

I also noticed that you rebuilt 2.2.1-20 while 2.2.1-21.el5_3 is
available, you might want to update it to the latest.

I actually had a look at your last screenshot, and it does not seem
too bad... It looks like the quality is already much better, I believe
BCI is already working for you. If you still feel that an improvement
is needed, then you might want to switch to the msttcorefonts, you
might need to do that in Thunderbird's preferences though.

Yes, I changed the variable in the spec and installed the RPM I built. 
I am on a 64-bit machine but did not install a 32-bit RPM.

Looks like there are two versions.. the original and mine.  What should

BCI is the one thing that makes a world of difference in fonts in
Linux... so if you are still having bad results, it's probably because
you did something wrong in the middle of the process...

How did you do that? Did you change the without_bytecode_interpreter

Did you restart X (with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) or reboot the machine
after the upgrade? If you have a 64-bit machine, did you build and

Would you care to show the output of "rpm -qi freetype"?

I removed my msttcorefonts pkg and installed yours.. no difference.

I rebuilt freetype again just for good measure.. nothing.

Now I somehow did manage somewhere along the line to make the fonts look 
a little better.  But I still think they look horrible.

I am so frustrated because I have everything else just the way I want

There are 2 sites that have full details:

 Then CentOS is not what you want.

 There is a reason why RHEL/CentOS does not ship with the latest kernel
 (and other components) and backports fixes instead. It's not trivial
 to make different versions of these components work together. If you
 try to replace the kernel (or other core components) you will see how
 painful it is. In fact, you started to see it already. You may try to
 continue to go that way, but I doubt anyone in this list will be able
 to help you there... you're pretty much on your own.

> So I'd be glad to hear other kind of solution :)
 Look at the latest Fedora or Ubuntu or another one of the "cutting
 edge" distributions that ship with more recent versions of components.

 Or ask yourself (or your boss) *WHY* you think you really need a later
 version of a certain component. What is your real problem? Is it
 support to a certain hardware? Is it network related? Is it
 (unfounded) fear that the kernel in CentOS might be vulnerable? It
 might be possible to solve your problem using CentOS in another way,
 if you come back to the list with the real problem we might be able to
 help you better.

I'd assume that 'telnet hostname 443' is intended to be a test for an 
https web service - which should in fact not permit a connection without 
ssl encryption.   The linux version of telnet probably tries to do some 
options negotiations before it says it is connected and perhaps the 
windows version doesn't.   A better test would be
wget https://adp.eease.com

Of course I wouldn't it. I think that the comparison has little to do.
Windows it's very different from Linux. MS it's product developed by
an only company and closed souce. I think that the difference from
using some distro with different kernel is far smaller that running
"Vista" apps on Windows 95. Of course I don't expect support in the
sense that someone solve my problems, I'm only was asking
suggestions...

When you install CentOS in the software section there is a customize
now radio button, choose that option and enable/disable whichever
package you want.

[CentOS] Help Slim Down Centos Install

Hello Everyone, 

I was wondering does anyone know how I can slim down Centos install,
what I mean by slim down is whenever I install Centos with nothing but
xen. I have all type stuff that is not needed like bluetooth and etc.
This is a server, so I know that bluetooth is not need but I don't have
any other menus to remove software when install from cd. So what would
be the best way to slim this server down to only need the bare to run
xen?

Let me try it a different way.

The current kernel used by Red Hat in RHEL 4 is a 2.6.9-x kernel and it
has 1973 patches.  The one currently in use in RHEL 5 is a 2.6.18-x
kernel with 2882 patches.

Many packages are compiled against kernel-headers and depend on the proc
  structure that is there.

SELinux is just one of many issues you will have if you try to use a
main line kernel on CentOS.  You will need to have several of the Red
Hat patches (modified to work with the new kernel tree) incorporated in
order to use a newer kernel on CentOS.

If you absolutely have to have a newer kernel (you should not do this
... but hey, it IS your machine) ... then instead of trying to use a
main line kernel, instead try to use the latest one from here:

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/RHEMRG/SRPMS/

This kernel has been tested for use with RHEL-5 and is 2.6.24-x.

You still might have issues, but they should be far fewer than running a
main line kernel on CentOS.

Would you, if you boss told you he wanted you to, try to make the
Windows Vista system files run on Windows 95?

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes

What your boss wants and what you want will not work with CentOS in that case.


Short Answer: You will both be better off looking at a non-enterprise
operating system. If the company has standardized on CentOS for long
term support they could look at Fedora for this one off and then use
CentOS-6 when that comes out.

Long Answer: You would need to basically compile newer glibc, newer
ldconfig, gcc, etc etc etc until at which point you have a base
Fedora-11 system and some CentOS stuff that might still work (but
highly unlikely).

Then CentOS is not what you want.

There is a reason why RHEL/CentOS does not ship with the latest kernel
(and other components) and backports fixes instead. It's not trivial
to make different versions of these components work together. If you
try to replace the kernel (or other core components) you will see how
painful it is. In fact, you started to see it already. You may try to
continue to go that way, but I doubt anyone in this list will be able
to help you there... you're pretty much on your own.

> So I'd be glad to hear other kind of solution :)

Look at the latest Fedora or Ubuntu or another one of the "cutting
edge" distributions that ship with more recent versions of components.

Or ask yourself (or your boss) *WHY* you think you really need a later
version of a certain component. What is your real problem? Is it
support to a certain hardware? Is it network related? Is it
(unfounded) fear that the kernel in CentOS might be vulnerable? It
might be possible to solve your problem using CentOS in another way,
if you come back to the list with the real problem we might be able to
help you better.

Have you looked at dstat?  If you find features that are not provided

Re: [CentOS] apache virtual host load monitoring

2009-08-27 Thread Sergey Smirnov
can you try to compile this one -
ftp://ftp.springdaemons.com/soft/mod_proctitle-0.3.tar.bz2

there is one option which must used - ProctitileEnable On/Off

I've installed rpm from fs12.vsb.cz and it seems not worked too
(ProctitileEnable is not suitable)

With working mod_proctitle you can see in ps axuw more info about httpd process.

I'm not sure how to do it in real time, but I run analog on the apache

yep, it's for BSD (but I heard that someone got it worked under linux)..

thanks for the tips about mod_watch (ganglia looks as very huge
solution for that purpose I think).

Thanks for your reply.

I did the iwl5000-firmware installation that Ned Slider advised and the 
radio appeared to start working.
I then did the transition to the centosplus kernel, following the 
directions in the link that you provided,
and then the LED started working.

It works great under the following conditions:

The target hardware is identical - or at least the same type disk controller.

The target drive is at least as large as the source.

You don't have software raid or LVM spanning drives.

Re: [CentOS] Strange connectivity problem from linux.

Thank you I tested this today morning from the windows machine and it
is behaving the same ( connection refused ). So I guess Its the host.
I have a call with the Host admin some time today. This test should
help me point the issue to him.

It means that you have gpgcheck enabled but the key to verify the 
packages' signature is missing. Go check yum.conf(5) and do a little
research on how to properly configure the rpmforge repository (IIRC 
they have a RPM you can install which will do the magic)

Well, that may be, however I would always recommend a clean build
environment for all builds (not just this one).  With mock available to
build a chroot which contains only the exact required packages to build
the code in question, I see no reason not to use it all the time when
building.  This prevents stray links to things you are not interested in
anyway.

That is how all packages are built in the fedora-rhel-centos world right
now.

In practice these kind of issues always come up when there are lots of
i386 packages on an x86_64 machine, so why not build all code in a pure
chroot?

[CentOS] Strange connectivity problem from linux.

2009-08-27 Thread Tharun Kumar Allu
Hi I have been facing a strange connectivity problem from CentOS and
Fedora boxes.

When I telnet to
$ telnet adp.eease.com 443

it works fine some times and every 5-10 tries or so it says connection
refused. And this does not happen from my windows box.

Can anyone from this list try this on their linux installation and see
if they get the same behaviour?

Thanks
Tharun

Actually it *wants* to look in the right place, as shown by
ld --verbose | grep SEARCH_DIR

But it's probably being forced to look in the wrong place by a 
-L/usr/lib switch. Bug in the Makefile, perhaps in autotools as this 
crops up often (I don't use autotools so not sure).

Or let the linker do its work without interfering with its builtin 
search path. I think that would be the proper fix, rather than the 
workaround of not having anything in /usr/lib.

Hello Michael,

glad that you managed to migrate to the new server.

If testsaslauthd gives an OK, this just means that saslauthd is running
and could verify the given credentials against the backend. If that
backend (-a) is shadow, then auth is checked against system users within
the shadow file. If the backend is pam, then a more complex setup is
possible. Besides checking too against system users in shadow, PAM could
be configured to test against an SQL database or an LDAP server.

If testsaslauthd is successful, it does not mean that Postfix client auth
must be successful too. That's because Postfix can be configured to use a
different authentication scheme: like as you did to use cyrus-sasl's
auxprop or even to use dovecot's sasl.

You can easily imagine a situation where the admin fills a sasldb with
users and their password and where all these users can be found as well as
system accounts within the shadow file. It may be intention by the admin
or just lack of understanding. Postfix using cyrus-sasl may be configured
to auth against the sasldb data, while saslauthd would work as well. (Here
with the difference that usernames in sasldb are of format
 where using saslauthd -a shadow the usernames can just
be .)

You may counter check what the smtpd.conf file contained on your old host.
It could be that saslauthd was the primary mechanism, but set as well the
option "auto_transition". You find that explained in
/usr/share/doc/cyrus-sasl*/options.html. Running that it will fill the
sasldb by itself. So you may have the impression that sasldb was your
primary authentication pool.

One final note: For cyrus-sasl using auxprop with plugin sasldb is the
default and fault back. If nothing is configured or the configured setup
fails, then cyrus-sasl test with auxprop and sasldb.

Best regards

Alexander

[CentOS] Crontab Nobody

2009-08-27 Thread Anne Wilson
I have a crontab for Nobody. I tried to delete it in a root kcron, which I'm 
sure is how I dealt with this in the past, but it seems impossible to delete.  
Should I delete the file /var/spool/cron/nobody?  It is owned root:root, perms 
600.

I've tried g4u as well, same thing there. It doesn't see raid arrays as
well.

I had reason to try this out the other day when one of our windows servers
died because of a power out and a faulty UPS.
