My understanding is that grub and lilo are not able to boot off of GPT
labeled disks currently. Given the size of currently available disks,
this will probably change soon, however, for now you need a small
partition to boot a large disk.

[CentOS] Upgrading PHP + MySQL on CentOS 3
Hi, I have a CentOS 3 server that I need to update to MySQL 5 + PHP4. I downloaded and installed the MySQL client and server RPM packages for Red Hat 3, including the Shared Compatibility Libraries which provide /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.10, .12, .14 and .15, which seems to be the recommended way of upgrading a MySQL 3 installation. I then went on to recompile PHP 4.4.7, which worked fine. But my PHP installation is still using libmysqlclient.so.10, which does not play 100% correctly with the current MySQL 5 server. I'd need it to use libmysqlclient.so.15. Apparently /usr/lib/php4/mysql.so is linked to libmysqlclient.so.10. How do I update/replace/relink the php-mysql connector to have PHP talk to MySQL using the current client libraries? Any hints'd greatly appreciated.

labeled disks currently. Given the size of currently available disks,
this will probably change soon, however, for now you need a small
partition to boot a large disk.
sorry, a bit quick off the trigger, but essentially, if you wanted to
use a single RAID-5 volume of this size (even if you configured it as
you said) the GPT label for the volume would be what gets you cuz of the
boot loader.
The use of LVM and XFS, just have to do with the way they handle larger
disks. With LVM you can lay out the disks in a bit more fine tuned
manner that allows you go get around some limitations in certain file
systems. XFS is just recommended because it is a very good performer
and was meant to handle large file systems from its inception. Feel
free to use JFS, ReiserFS or your local don-juan-ho file system you like
I think its finally got into my head now. :)
From what i understand (after your replies and some more googling)
GRUB cannot boot from gpt labeled drives.
So no matter how i partition them, it just wont boot.
So finally, i am putting a 300G SATA to act as the system drive.
Then use the other 750G's to be the big RAID 5 Volume (XFS)
Yes, i lose if the 300G fails, but i think i can do something about that
later.
Thanks for the replies.

If you compile it on a machine that has only mysql-5.x and mysql-devel-5.x on it, it should then link against the proper files. Hopefully you are making RPMS and not doing installs from source. I would also try to stay with the CentOS RPMS (in CentOS-4 we have php-4.3.9) as you know those will be supported and get security updates until 2012 ... BUT php-4 will most likely not last that long from php.net. You should (though I have not tried it) be able to compile the php-4.3.9 SRPMS from CentOS-4 on CentOS-3. You might also get the mysql SRPMS for MySQL from the CentOS-4 CentOSPlus repo and recompile on CentOS-3. If I was going to do mysql-5 and php-4 on CentOS-3, that is what I would do ... though I would most likely do it on CentOS-4 instead and get a newer version of apache too.

I know that XFS gets all the press about being a great performing file
system ... but if you want the best stability on CentOS, you should at
least consider ext3 instead.
I have worked very hard to get stable code for xfs in centos-4 and
centos-5, and lots of people use it, but (IMHO) ext3 is still much more
stable with the CentOS Kernels.
That is my $0.02 ... I'm sure other people will tell you I am all hosed

We can't also be Rawhide for new equipment too ... we don't have the resources or people to do that. I wish we had 400 or so servers and the same number of developers so that we could support a Rawhide type branch, but we just do not have that. If you want something that is not in the upstream discs that is installable, you will need to use david's discs, yes. Hi, I feel I have to clarify a few things. 1) I do not want to create some CentOS fork, take it only as a bypass solution. We have to stick with upstream with all pros and cons. 2) Install DVD contains only slightly different kernel RPMS. Nothing more or less. So updates go smoothly. Maybe too much. If CentOS is about to release a new kernel RPMS, user will yum them, reboot and ooops :o) 3) Kernel RPMS are here: http://fs12.vsb.cz/hrb33/el5/hrb/stable/i386/RPMS/repodata/ 4) Well, maybe I could create CD install media deltas. 5) And of course ICH9 patched CentOS is not supported by CentOS team/community. David, I did nor mean to sound critical of your work ... I appreciate that you did this boot DVD and are making it available. In the future we might be able to make it available (with more hardware added) in the testing repository ... or even work in changes like it into the CentOSPlus kernels. === My point was that David is a trusted person by many on the CentOS Devel team and I would have no personal problem using his boot DVD if I was trying to install on a machine that I needed his kernel for. That said, I also did want to point out that CentOS is not Fedora, Fedora is perfectly free, and Fedora builds a great non-enterprise Linux diatro. Fedora (IMHO) is, by a huge margin, the very best of the 6-8 month cutting edge distros out there. If you want to run cutting edge hardware, I would fully recommend doing so with Fedora. I would not really recommend using cutting edge hardware that is not yet supported for major enterprise endeavors though .. why you might ask? Well ... I personally have had problems with cutting edge hardware, chipsets, and BIOSes not being stable for up to a year. It makes no difference which OS you use if the drive controller or the memory controller above the OS level is not stable. Getting new stuff is fun and we all like to do it ... however, let us also remember what the purpose of CentOS is :D We are not trying to out Fedora Fedora ... as there is no need to do so.

But, yes, in all these years on Linux, i have never found ext3 go bad for me ever. Infact, i have never tried any other fs till date. Going by the comments and views of everyone, i would prefer to go with ext3. The drive is a large one, but i have no particular need to make one big partition on it. I can as well have several small partitions (in fact thats what i want) with each partition being the data store for 1 mogstored daemon. Now i am not sure if thats the best possible solution, but i still got time to implement it and do my benchmarks. For now, ext3 is surely the fs of choice.

Re: [CentOS] Centos 5 on Large Disks.
I know that XFS gets all the press about being a great performing file system ... but if you want the best stability on CentOS, you should at least consider ext3 instead. +1 I have worked very hard to get stable code for xfs in centos-4 and centos-5, and lots of people use it, but (IMHO) ext3 is still much more stable with the CentOS Kernels. That is my $0.02 ... I'm sure other people will tell you I am all hosed up :D I will be telling them wait for a power loss, wait for the XFS code to shut down one of its filesystem for no reason, take a good look at the neverending stream of bug fixes in the mainline kernel, take a look at those kernel developers who have openly announced they want nothing to do with the XFS codebase and to note the fact that the XFS code is the largest there is for a filesystem due to all the workarounds they have had to put into to deal with Linux's different vm and other stuff. There is a reason why XFS is not that stable but it sure is the fastest there is for writes. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

As we add more users, we image up a new IMAP server. For our business's scaling purposes this was the best plan. What I am having a problem is how do I get postfix to transfer the email to the particular IMAP server that the user account is on. I know that I need to use lmtp and transport, but all the examples I have seen show forwarding all email to 1 IMAP server. I would like Postfix to do a lookup for each mailbox and determine which IMAP server to deliver it to. Anyone have a working example that they could share?

which speaks of using Parted/LVM2 and XFS.
If i understand this correctly,
I need to have 1 disk to host the CentOS installation.
And i can use the other 5 disks in a RAID array
(label type gpt...)
Is it not possible to partition and use the existing RAID 5 volume?

Any ideas/links will really help.

My understanding is that grub and lilo are not able to boot off of
GPT labeled disks currently. Given the size of currently available
disks, this will probably change soon, however, for now you need a
small partition to boot a large disk.
sorry, a bit quick off the trigger, but essentially, if you wanted to
use a single RAID-5 volume of this size (even if you configured it as
you said) the GPT label for the volume would be what gets you cuz of
the boot loader.
The use of LVM and XFS, just have to do with the way they handle
larger disks. With LVM you can lay out the disks in a bit more fine
tuned manner that allows you go get around some limitations in certain
file systems. XFS is just recommended because it is a very good
performer and was meant to handle large file systems from its
inception. Feel free to use JFS, ReiserFS or your local don-juan-ho
file system you like
I think its finally got into my head now. :)
From what i understand (after your replies and some more googling)
GRUB cannot boot from gpt labeled drives.
So no matter how i partition them, it just wont boot.
So finally, i am putting a 300G SATA to act as the system drive.
Then use the other 750G's to be the big RAID 5 Volume (XFS)
Yes, i lose if the 300G fails, but i think i can do something about that
later.
You did say a hardware raid5 right?
You just need to have the /boot partition at the beginning of the array, and
your raid card should have some sort of carving feature. You just need to make
sure you have multi-lun support going, and with your kernel and initrd in the
boot partition you should be able to boot.

Sorry, never did lmtp but if I read your post properly, you want to do a transport map lookup for each mailbox to get the correct lmtp entry. I suggest using cdb for your transport map database and rebuilding it say every eight hours. cdb offers fast lookup and database building. You can store the entries in mysql and dump to a file for cdb creation.

There are primarily two ways:
[virtual aliase]
you can use virtual_alias_maps to redirect [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], provided the final server accepts such addresses.
If the final server doesn't accept these, and you use smtp to relay to,
then you can write the addresses back, using smtp_generic_maps.
[transport]
an laternative is to use use (per-user) transport_maps. something like
[EMAIL PROTECTED] relay:[hostN.example.com]
In bothe approaches, the mappings can be generated using sql statements
(mostly CONCAT). something like
...
query = SELECT concat('relay:[', host, '.example.com]')
FROM User
where '%u' = user and '%d' = domain
you get the idea I hope.
Anyone have a working example that they could share? It would be

Wish it was possible. Just in case, if anyone knows better, please let me know. I have a Dell PE2950 Which Dell PERC they make dozens under that name? If it is the PERC 5e then yes you can create multiple LUNs out of an array. That will work. Another way is to see if the raid-controller can present two volumes from your raid5, one small (for OS) and one big (for gpt large fs). If this works then you'll get one device on which you can use msdos partitions and boot from and one (2T) on which you use gpt (or simply lvm directly on the device). IMHO I would recommend using 2 internal drives with a software mirror for the CentOS install and keep your external array completely out of the OS install. I use LVM for all volumes, use ext3 file system for the OS volumes, and you can pick or choose the file system you want to use for your data volumes, I'd probably stick with ext3 or maybe jfs if it wasn't too cumbersome to get going.

You can then create a separate VG out of your data array and sub-divide it into smaller LVs formatted for the FS of choice. Don't allocate all storage initially, just what you need to get started you can always extend your volumes later relatively easily, but shrinking is far more troublesome. -Ross __ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.

The mysql db isn't a single server. It's a master (read/write) with

the syntax is simple, but depends on the structure of your tables.

The above assumes a simple {`mailbox`, `host`} structure. you'll need to
adjust the sql query to your table structure.

Re: [CentOS] Lan Kernel Problem
Well, with lspci, the two NIC's are Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-28139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10) and ADMtek NC100 Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100 (rev 11), how can I know the kernel modules asociated? Thanks! 2007/10/23, Alain Spineux [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Look in your fedora fc1 or knoppix witch module was loaded for your two nic. Then try a # modprobe your_module_name_here then # dmesg to look if both nics where recognized. If so you have to update your modprobe.conf Alain Regards On 10/22/07, Linux Man [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm building a Linux box to act as Proxy/Router/Firewall.

CentOS detects the on board LAN, but not the other two, in fact, knoppix 5.0.1 doesn't detect too (kernel 2.6.17), but, Knoppix 5.1.1 (kernel 2.6.19) detects all three cards. Do you have any idea why this behavior? Centos 5.0 detects all three too, but I don't now why, my firewall script (ipv4) doesn't work with this release. Now, thank you very much!

Re: [CentOS] NIS/YP revelation (I think)
I'm using http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch30_:_Configuring_NIS as a guide and the services all show appropriately on the production server and client, and on a working test setup that is identical to production. The test setup works flawlessly.

Are your repo files actually pointing to C5 not C4? Akemi ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos C4 First, regarding gnumeric, because there is no CentOS-5 rpm, rebuilding from the FC6 src.rpm file is the way to go as Frank Fox wrote. You may have to get some -devel packages from FC6 as well if I remember. Second, because gnumeric is not available for CentOS 5, the yum command should say Nothing to do. Your kbs-Extras repos are probably not right. Install the .repo files from http://centos.karan.org/ . Note also that as of this writing (October 23, 2007), C5 packages are still in testing. If you need them, you need to add --enablerepo=kbs-CentOS-Testing as an option to the yum command. Akemi ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] Large scale Postfix/Cyrus email system for 100, 000+ users
Matt Shields wrote: Data changes too frequently to generate the file every x number of minutes across all smtp servers. You have to support instantly deliverable mailboxes for new accounts? The mysql db isn't a single server. It's a master (read/write) with multiple replicas for read access. Those replicas are load balanced with LVS (heartbeat/ldirectord/ipvsadm). The postfix(smtp) incoming and outgoing servers are also load balanced with LVS. So database read speed is not an issue. Believe me, we know how to build large high traffic sites, the only problem we're having is the exact syntax on using transport_maps or virtual_transport with multiple lmtp transports, and I think I got that figured out with the transport_maps. Will post more later. I assume that you are aware that transport_maps is called multiple times. Recipient_maps in rdbms tables generate at least two lookups (one for smtpd, one for cleanup) but when you add transport_maps, that will at least explode to one per subdomain of the sender address (you can mitigate a lot of that with the domain setting in the map configuration file) as trivial-rewrite tries to build its triples for addresses. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
