Kai Tried that, it still fails the same way. Here's the short list of what I've tried to troubleshoot this: Used SCP via the gui and command line Used SFTP via the gui and command line Ran yum update to bring all packages up to date Tried stock CentOS sshd daemon (version 4.3), as well as sshd built from source (version 5.3) Adjusted MTU settings Reinstalled virtual network card Updated vmware tools and network card driver Tried vmxnet as well as e1000 drivers At this point I don't know what else to try. I'm thinking that it's either a problem with VMWare, or perhaps our load balancer that is routing the packets back and forth. Hopefully one of the vendors will be able to help solve the problem. In the meantime we are building out a physical server to test whether vmware is the issue or not. If anyone else has seen this problem before or has suggestions please post them here. Thanks. --- Just an idea or thought on it. You never said what the file size was or did you? My idea is that is, there not a file size limitation on transfer to and from the server? I thought there was? Check you vsftpd.conf out or what ever ftp server your running for the size limitation. Maybe some help or maybe not?

Unless you have pre w2k clients, disable Wins, Win2k uses DNS or Netbios res. What you are experiencing is a lag in the population of the master browser, you need patience. You could setup up dyn dns for the Samba server and win clients as well... You set local master = no, so what / who is the master browser? Do you have any win servers? Setup Sambas as per the example, then go away and grab a coffee... It takes ~15 mins... Set Samba as the master Browser. You may have to bump the number up for it. Then service smb reload. Then restart the Windows clients (lots faster). All you really need to access the server is \\server_name\machine_share\ then map the Network Drive to it. I have seen some win clients that just would not enumerate shares though. John ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I know kexec can do something like this for security patches, but I don't know much about kexec, and I don't want to mess up a production server either. So, has anyone done something like this before? I need to load a new kernel for one of the domU's iptables to work, but don't want to reboot the whole server and cause downtime for the other domU's. --- You're a lot better off go over to the Linux Kernel Devel site.

Re: [CentOS] broken GFS
Hello All; Maybe, because XFS seems to be important, is it possible to build xfs right after the kernel src build? Is this far more longer than only build the kernel? Ok nobody pay you to do Centos, ok. Centos is a very good project, but i think it's not really constructive to say ok, pay me and I will do it :) You don't do Centos because you need money but because you like what you do. Of course, forget my mail if XFS is a crap to build, but if a simple add stuff in changelog xfs.spec; rpmbuild -ba --sign mycoolXFSmodul.src.rpm is enough, maybe You could think to build xfs in the same time a kernel update is available ?

Just to show that XFS module was loaded for WRONG kernel. As you said, you newer saw before. According to this, there is a mystery in May 11 16:06:03 because there WAS a kmod_xfs but it was 53.1.14, not 53.1.19 as updated kernel. too bad you rebooted 1 hour before the kernel-xfs module update. When was kernel-xfs module updated in repository? Just that time? If so too bad CentOS folks do not update every piece of kernel as a whole in repositories. Where is integrity? If not, yum update does not update everything at once. I have to run yum update twice maybe more. First it will load kernel then see that a new kernel is available, will go and bring its modules... Still, it is a bit annoying and confusing. I am beginning to think whether XFS is really supported in CentOS :) OK ... let me give you an official answer red hat does not even release the the gfs kmods on the same day as the kernel, that is FULLY supported and even an added expense for rhel4. we DO NOT update xfs (or the centosplus kernel) on the same day as the base centos kernels. We are NOT going to wait to release the main kernel security update for a day or more to get centosplus stuff also done. xfs IS NOT SUPPORTED in the same way as the base centos distro is and xfs is not in RHEL. Our 2 million users do not want to wait for the base kernel security updates for 2 extra days so that a very small group of people who use the xfs file system can get their updates at the same time. It might take even longer to get these built as no one pays me to build them and I have a real job and a real life ... if you can't do one of these: 1. Build your own module. 2. Exclude the kernel and only update it when the modules are ready. Then you can pay me $200.00 per hour and I will manage your server for you.
