Re: [CentOS] SAN help
Hi For sure no problems, I see this about everyday, the major reason is that the rh driver is not certified for use with Dell,HP or IBM for that matter, if we get a support request where I work and the RH driver is used for the qlogic card then customer must install the certified driver from the vendor, this has a lot to do with compabillity with the bios etc, I am not saying that the RH driver is bad it is just unsupported by most vendors.

Re: [CentOS] SAN help
Hi
No if you have a dual hba then the host should in worst case scenario
become un-responsive for a second or two but then continue as nothing
had happen.
If it fails then it may be your multipath config but a lot of the time
it is sitting at your switch level or san.

better
device configuration snippet.
Google may help you out: search for your device type and
multipath.conf. Alternately, if your vendor supports RHEL5
(I'm sure
they do), you could contact them and ask them to provide you
with a
known good configuration.
Actually, a quick search yields this:

I made sure I hadn't put the entries in iptables incorrect by stopping iptables (sudo /etc/init.d/iptables stop, which executed just fine). SELinux kept popping up so I disabled that and restarted the server also. So now with no iptables nor SELinux enabled flicking between guest and user access I still can't access the share (I have also tried authenticating as root to no avail), my Windows and Mac test machines are erroring out saying they don't have permissions to access the share (I am an administrator on both machines so its not a local permissions issue). There are no firewall restrictions between my test machines and the CentOS server as I would even get prompted for authentication so that's not a problem and my test machines work fine because I can mount smb shares on other files servers in the same subnet as the CentOS server, what's going on?

Re: [CentOS] Configure a local DNS caching nameserver: partial success
Hi Do you really need to use bind perhaps dnsmasq would be a better option for you. Per E-mail: p...@norhex.com [1] http://www.linkedin.com/in/perqvindesland [2] --- Original message follows --- SUBJECT: [CentOS] Configure a local DNS caching nameserver: partial success FROM: Niki Kovacs TO: CentOS mailing list DATE: 02-07-2009 9:48 Hi, The subject says it all. On my server machine in the local LAN (192.168.1.252 in a 192.168.1.0/24 network), I setup Bind. I installed the 'caching-nameserver' package, which provides a set of configuration files for Bind so it can be used as a caching nameserver out of the box. On the server : I start bind (service named start), and try it out. # host www.google.fr 127.0.0.1 Using domain server: Name: 127.0.0.1 Address: 127.0.0.1#53 Aliases: www.google.fr is an alias for www.google.com. www.google.com is an alias for www.l.google.com. www.l.google.com has address 209.85.227.99 www.l.google.com has address 209.85.227.103 www.l.google.com has address 209.85.227.104 www.l.google.com has address 209.85.227.147 Which tells me basically that my DNS server works. Now I'd like all the other machines on the network to use this local DNS server instead of my ISP's DNS. First thing, I know Bind uses port 53, so I take care to open that port on the server as well as on the other machines in the network. Then, I try to use my local DNS server manually on one of the machines, but I only get this : $ host www.google.fr 192.168.1.252 ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached Since I'm rather new to Bind, this leaves me a bit clueless. I'm currently busy reading DNS Bind from O'Reilly, but this 750 page book is ideal for blocking my terrace door on windy days, and the problem is not absence, but wealth of information. Any suggestions ?

Per Per, sorry to be so direct - but in my opinion that's a horrible recommendation because within a few months, you spent more on power than the system costs... Even with speedstep properly configured, you're going to burn a lot more power on any P4.Doing the same basic file and print services, the Atom boxes we built used around 35W average vs 140W on the P4 dual cores that they replaced. Only had one failure so far but we think that was user error - something seems to have blocked the fan because all other systems had lots of dust in it and the failed unit was perfectly clean Overall, the Atom boxes worked great for us. We didn't have a specific reason not to choose VIA, atom boards were just easier to find, at least when we were doing this. Can't help you with a specific model board though since we only needed a single lan port...

But there are advanced tricks that can be played with 'hybrid' RAID levels that can achieve larger sizes from smaller drives. For your example drives of 2 x 50GB, 1 x 20GB, 1 x 60GB, and 1 x 30GB, using software RAID, you could use use linear mode to make one 50GB 'drive' out of the 30GB and the 20GB and then make a RAID5 out of the 2 X 50GB the 1 X 60GB and the 'fake' 1 x 50GB resulting in a RAID5 with 150GB available vs a naive 'just bang them together' as a 5 x 20GB RAID5 approach which would only give you 80GB. -- Benjamin Franz ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

When the logrotate scripts run and send the HUP signal to httpd, the httpd process quits instead of reloading.

It's reproducable every time, when I send the HUP signal to the master httpd process the same thing happens. My configuration is nothing special, just the stock one, with a few unnecesary modules commented out and one virtual host.

Re: [CentOS] Update to Centos 5 anaconda kickstart %post bug?
If you want a official fix then get your self a redhat license, nothing
wrong with the excellent help that one can get from this list but by
supporting redhat you also in my eyes support centos.
The only thing that I have noticed with RH support is that they are actually
slower to release a fix or to come up with a fix then Centos, we have quite
a few centos servers where I work and this was the reason for why we lowered
our licenses to redhat and migrated some servers to Centos.

2) With regard to bug 0002329 is this something that has to

What company is this that doesn't wan't to pay for a support
contract for RHEL but insists on using CentOS but requires
official fixes only?
1. Can you name and shame this comapany it will make good reading
on teh web.
2. Consider paying for RHEL so that you can actually get
official support and can raise support tickets.
3. You probably don't understand what CentOS is or who is supposed
to use it.
