[CentOS-docs] Additional Notes on: AtiDriver
Dear Ralph. I guess it was you who wrote the very helpful ATI driver tutorial page. I just wanted to add some additional notes: Package generation requires rpm-build to be installed. You may use: yum install rpm-build on a clean CentOS box to do so. Maybe you could also add a note for CentOS 5. On my 5.2 machine the newly generated packages are found in: /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/ instead of the current working directory (at least on my box, mabe somebody else could verify it). Also the newly generated fglrx package seems to require compat-libstdc++-33 on CentOS5. Concerning aticonfig: the command: aticonfig --initial will modify at least the most necessary configuration options in xorg.conf Kind Regards Marcus ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs

Re: [CentOS] Re: [Ntop-misc] PF_RING crashed the CentOS5 - BUG: soft lockup - CPU#7
If you need a newer kernel to use that patch, I would recommend something that runs more cutting edge for that server, maybe Gentoo or Fedora 9. I don't recommend patching CentOS with a new kernel as you lose the main benefit for using an Enterprise distro .. stability. You meant I should not patch the newest kernel but original kernel, right? For example, I should download the source codes of kernel -2.6.18 used in CentOS 5 from www.centos.org and do patching. right? I am thinking the same method to achieve the highest stability.

[CentOS] Login Feature
I asked one of my team mates to evaluate centos 5.2 as a more stable distro for our business use than Fedora which we have used for years. His main objection so far has been the lack of a neat feature of recent Fedoras (at least since 7) that allows a user to login as himself if the screen is locked by another user (a switch user feature). Is that feature available or is it planned? Thanks. -Tom Tom Browder Niceville, Florida USA ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] slow NFS speed
70-80MB/s is good for NFS/CIFS networking given the 4k block size and network latency. It's not the MB/s driven by your storage system that get you it's the IOPS throttled by the network latency and two-way communication over it. -Ross - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CentOS mailing list centos@centos.org Sent: Tue Jul 29 23:20:10 2008 Subject: [CentOS] slow NFS speed We upgraded from a 10/100Mbs to a 2 100/1000 bonding.

Re: [CentOS] slow NFS speed
Mag Gam wrote: I am using mode 0, which is an aggregate. I have 2 clients, which are bonded too. 70-80Mb/sec. MB, sorry :-) That's totally different then, 80MBytes/second is very fast. What kind of storage is behind the NFS? Run iostat -x 1 100 on the server while your doing the test. Look at the last column, what's the reading? In my experience the typical I/O size for requests is in the 20kB range, in which case a 10k RPM disk will run at about 2.2-2.5MBytes/second(before latency spikes). Depends what your transferring though. Cache of course can mask this to some degree. If your using gigE across the board you may be able to get more performance by using 9k jumbo frames. Though I would only use jumbo frames on secondary interfaces dedicated for storage as jumbo and non jumbo traffic doesn't mix well. Of course any network devices in between the systems must support/be configured for jumbo frames as well. In Linux at least as far as I can frame size is determined by the interface itself, so e.g. you can't run two VLANs on one NIC, one in jumbo and one not in jumbo. It's either on or it's off. (Unlike switches where you can do both on the same port) If your going to be routinely pushing a gigabit worth of NFS traffic I certainly would ditch Linux and get a more robust NAS box. nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I can configure wvdial and dial the modem card perfectly. My ppp0 interface comes up and I can ping everything. I also have a network card on the motherboard. Once again, by itself the network card works correctly. That is with the modem NOT dialed up. Here's where things get interesting... If I flush the firewall rules: iptables -F Bring down the eth0 interface: ifconfig eth0 down Connect with the modem: wvdial Bring up the interface: ifconfig eth0 192.168.7.1 At this point the ppp0 interface drops off and redials. It is no longer able to maintain a stable connection. ppp0 and eth0 do not use the same IP range. Thoughts?

Re: [CentOS] enterprise backup solution (probably amanda?)
David Hlác(ik wrote: hope i am not making an offtopic Currently we are looking for storage/backup solution in our company. Basically we need to backup data incrementaly from windows server and centos server + subversion repositories. So far i believe amanda would be best for this situation and also has good reference. Is there anything else - i would be glad to have space for research and choose backuping solution which fits for my needs best. If a disk based archive will work, backuppc (http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/) is fairly painless and it's scheme of compression and hardlinking duplicates lets you keep about 10x the history you'd expect. If you need offsite copies you'll have to run an independent instance elsewhere or come up with a clever scheme to copy the disk though. The massive number of hardlinks it creates makes it difficult to use normal methods to copy the archive partition. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

However, you indicated earlier there is some encryption in place, I don't know if that is already in effect at MBR level. If it is, this method or the one mentioned in the article won't help. My corporate tech guy told me the first step is to get a standard XP mbr back on the system, and then he believes he can talk me through getting the encryption working again. Did your centos install work? Normally dual-boot systems bring up windows with grub in the mbr and a chainloader entry to load windows. Even if you are usb-booting centos, you should be able to set it up to chainload the boot to the windows partition on the hard disk as an alternate grub entry. I'm not sure how this will mesh with disk encryption, though, but if a standard windows mbr would work, this might. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Re: [Ntop-misc] PF_RING crashed the CentOS5 - BUG: soft lockup - CPU#7
on 7-29-2008 11:10 PM Ian jonhson spake the following: If you need a newer kernel to use that patch, I would recommend something that runs more cutting edge for that server, maybe Gentoo or Fedora 9. I don't recommend patching CentOS with a new kernel as you lose the main benefit for using an Enterprise distro .. stability. You meant I should not patch the newest kernel but original kernel, right? For example, I should download the source codes of kernel -2.6.18 used in CentOS 5 from www.centos.org and do patching. right? I am thinking the same method to achieve the highest stability. If you also recommend the way, I am willing to try again. Thanks! Ian It seems that you tried to patch the CentOS kernel and it didn't work. A patch for a newer kernel probably wouldn't apply clean, and the CentOS kernels coming from RHEL are heavily patched already. The last time I played in the kernel there were at least a hundred patches. Probably more. Any one of those could contribute to your new patch failing. I usually wouldn't recommend using a non-standard kernel on CentOS. If the kernel in the main repo or the plus repo doesn't suit your system, and you add a kernel from the main kernel.org sources, you risk de-stabilizing your system. An Enterprise linux like CentOS is designed for stability and long life and the pieces are fairly intertwined. If you need a custom patch or a newer kernel, I would just use a distribution like Gentoo or Slackware that seems to use newer parts, or see if someone already adds your patch to their current kernel. -- MailScanner is like deodorant...

Basically we need to backup data incrementaly from windows server and centos server + subversion repositories. So far i believe amanda would be best for this situation and also has good reference. Is there anything else - i would be glad to have space for research and choose backuping solution which fits for my needs best. I'm an Amanda user since 9+ years now. Done several restores, even bare metal ones. Amanda never failed on me. Note that the most important functionality of a backup program is actually the restore process. One of the biggest advantages when using Amanda is the possibility to restore using only the bare bones system utilities like dd, tar, dump etc., very handy when you have only a backup tape and a brand new machine to restore to. When doing backups from MS Windows, be aware that Amanda can only backup/restore data files. Amanda is not good for programs (and especially their registry settings and all undocumented stuff done during installs of them). I do the backups of our MS-Windows clients with BackupPC (see the mail from Les Mikesell): very good (but backups are only to disk). We do not have many MS Windows servers, and most of those are actually vmware instances, which are included in the amanda backups of their hosts anyway. And last but not least, there is a mailinglist with active and friendly people as well, helping you out for most problems (usually much better and faster than payed support IMHO, where you have to argue for an day or two through the firstline helpdesk, before you get someone who understands your question). -- Paul ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

And so far I have not found anyone here at the IETF meeting that happens to have one in their bag of tricks...

Is it able to fix my mbr? Problem I have with the above instructions (of course I have not tried them as I would have to burn the Ubuntu live CD), is I cannot write anything to the harddrive to store a program to fix the drive (at least that is my reading of the instructions). I suppose I can put a USB drive on the system to hold any temp thing? I am wondering if any standard Microsoft boot sector might work. I could probably e-mail you a CD image of a dos 7.1 bootdisk if fdisk /mbr would work. I have never tried it, and maybe I'll quickly fire up a VM image of XP and try it. -- MailScanner is like deodorant...

I mean, who carries such a CD with them to a week-long meeting? I have a couple of options to pursue still. LIke the network helpdesk vendor who is local... However, you indicated earlier there is some encryption in place, I don't know if that is already in effect at MBR level. If it is, this method or the one mentioned in the article won't help. My corporate tech guy told me the first step is to get a standard XP mbr back on the system, and then he believes he can talk me through getting the encryption working again.

There are a couple of hurdles with this, mainly: 1) If you have SATA drive (or SCSI or...), freedos may not be able to see the drive 2) I don't know if freedos has an updated version of fdisk that has no addressing limitation (main not be a showstopper anyway) Anyway, just a quick tought.

[CentOS] Re: Will CentOS 6's upstream be based on Fedora 10?
on 7-30-2008 7:36 AM Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu spake the following: Hi All, The subject says it all. I'm asking because I've found Fedora 9 to be buggy as hell - it is one of the worst Fedora releases I've ever used (and I've been using it since Fedora Core 1). I'm putting up with it for my work laptop, but it's not fun. :( My main home machine is still on Fedora Core 6 and will stay there until CentOS 6 comes out. I don't want to use CentOS 5 because it's upstream is based on Fedora Core 6, and I want something new! When CentOS 6 hits, I will be using it for my work laptop. I might just keep Fedora for home my machine. I haven't decided yet if I want to move up to Fedora 10 or CentOS 6. Regards, Ranbir Very hard to tell until upstream sets a freezepoint. It is usually based on whatever Fedora is current at that time. So it is probably a tossup between 9 and 10 looking at the projected date of release. I doubt that RedHat would release a real buggy enterprise version because they have to support it. But then in my opinion all Fedoras have been buggy in some way, usually because of the settling time for all the new stuff that gets dropped in. -- MailScanner is like deodorant...

(No, not your ignorance, mine! :-) You had mentioned earlier that it not only changed resolution, but revereted to analog monitor. I don't know if this will help, but have you run kudzu? Check /etc/sysconfig/hwconf. /VIDEO/ It's only connected via the analog cable. First, outside of GNOME, it works in full wide screen mode, so I don't think that's it, and second, I don't know if there is enough advantage to invest in a DVI cable. I'll look, though, tonight, when I get a chance. You should see your new monitor in there. I don't know enough to know if this has an effect though. I presume that when X terminates, the driver is unloaded. When it starts up again, the driver would be reloaded. I don't know if DDC gets involved here or not. Based on the comments that get inserted in my xorg.conf file by the nvidia xconfig, I'm guessing no since I have specified the frequency ranges (from the manual), and when I didn't, it still didn't work.
