Re: [CentOS] Tips for motherboard with multiple PCI / PCI-e slots
Hi Brunner, I need four network interfaces. This can be in one or multiple cards. The problem is just what you've described : lack of info regarding the compatibility/stability of such card under CentOS. And since some of those dual/quad cards cost more than the motherboard itself I can't afford to buy one just to find out that it does not work or need an exotic driver that I need to recompile myself every time a new kernel ships. I'll have a look into those. In this list I've read something about intel pro mt but it seems to be discontinued from intel's site...

[CentOS] Web server becoming unresponsive : high load
Hi, I have a web server which is randomly becoming unresponsive. I've checked for hardware problems with no luck : - no ethernet errors - no disk errors - no memory errors So far I've managed to point the trouble at the web server since if I restart httpd (apache) it comes back to normal. This is not a shared server so I control (or at least like to think of) what is hosted so I have two suspects: a) my own code is behaving strangely. For example, a php script that in a given situation/parameters increases the usage. b) some sort of attack. Either in conjunction to a or other vulnerability. I am looking for advices in how can I pin point since looking at every line of code would be infeasible.

Re: [CentOS] Any update on 5.6 / 6?
Hi, Since I was the one who created this topic (with different purpose) let me suggest that after the 5.6/6.0 release consider a 'business model' for the CentOS. And by business model I mean take some time to: a) Evaluate _if_ one or more paid staff would ease some of the taks that must be done by the core team b) If a) is true set up a campaign to raise the money pretty much as wikipedia does (we need X $$ to cover those costs) c) Prepare some communication protocol for those tasks (technical etc) to gather more people and let them informed For me it is hard to offer to help (besides downloading and using the packages) if I do not know what is really involved, expected to be done or how much time would be necessary. For example, let's say I have 1h/day or week to help and no programming skills. What tasks could I do, and so on. Again communication. I have mixed feelings. In one hand I know this is a community-driven-no-guarantees and in the other I feel in the dark without any sense of progress/future and I depend on CentOS for my business. Since I like the long term support philosophy and being a Fedora/CentOS user for a long time (i.e like the way the distro works) there is actually no other option since RedHat ($) is too expensive.

Of course, like Dennis Miller, I could be wrong about that. You hear/read quite a few folks saying the equivalent of something like corporations favor subscriptions over donations.' Give them a chance to put their money where their mouth is :) A friend at FedEx told me yesterday they buy the $8600 licenses from Redhat and the $10K plus licenses from VMware and feel good about it because there is a team taking care of their security at the OS level. While it wouldn't produce unlimited machines and personnel, if you could find a wordsmith/lawyer on the list or elsewhere who is willing to pro bono wordsmith subcribe/donate in a fashion acceptable to the CentOS core team, thus keeping you folks happy that you are only getting donations rather than subscriptions, it seems like you could at least raise enough money for a couple of the fastest machines known to man to help with the builds. The problem will be that if you PAY anyone for doing things, everyone wants to be paid. (Remember the Ubuntu fiasco with getting a release done). The CentOS Project can not afford to hire and pay someone a full salary to do nothing but CentOS full time. If the project could do that, then they would. But, if they did hire said person, then what would the OTHER volunteer guys do? Why would they stay around if Billy Bob is getting paid for his work? If we could hire 3 or 4 people (and provide any kind of reasonable job security for their future), that might be an option.

Re: [CentOS] Any update on 5.6 / 6?
That's a lovely story. But if that applies to CentOS core team (i.e they do not want to receive money) why don't use the money to hire more staff to do some of their tasks, specially those that they haven't been able to do in the way they would like them to be done. But it seems that I am barking at the wrong tree and find a way to pay RedHat for all CentOS machine that I have, since this is a 8 or 80 matter for some (i.e shut up and take whatever you get X pay something that you can't afford).

Many people liked them and bought them for their families. The farmer would make the fruit seeds available, as was the custom in the land. Another farmer, Fred, decided to take the seeds and start growing some of his own fruit. It took weeks to grow the fruit. The only difference was that he didn't put on the little Red sticker. Instead he put on a Fred sticker. Many people used the Fred version. Fred gave away his fruit. Many people started showing up for the free Fred version. Still, Fred continued to give away the fruit. In fact he turned down donations because a part of him didn't want to get paid for doing something like that. There were whole books Fred had read about altruism and the death of altruism and how money corrupts. Those thoughts maybe did not apply to Fred's garden, but Fred maybe realized that money wasn't the chief motivation for laboring for weeks and then giving away the fruit. After all, Fred was a great farmer, and if needed could very well sell his farming expertise for boatloads of money. People started showing up. Some didn't know about the work that Fred had put into his fruit. Some wanted to know when the fruit would be ready. Some went as far as asking why the fruit wasn't ready. Some said, Farmer Red grew his fruit months ago. Farmer Jed already has grown his fruit. Why haven't you? Some said, I don't know much about farming, but you should get people to help. Not me, since I know nothing of farming, but get other people. Some said, I don't know much about farming. I want to help. Some said, I've never farmed this fruit before, but I can help. Now Fred had read this book about how adding farmers to a field won't necessarily make the fruit grow any faster. Maybe it's true, he thought. Some of the experienced farmers had already been helping anyway, so that was something. I don't know how Fred continues to do his farming. But I appreciate the free fruit. I appreciate the great effort that Fred has put into the fruit, despite the chorus of voices asking why the fruit doesn't arrive sooner. It's good fruit and worth waiting for.

Hi, I've been using the php packages from c5-testing without problems for a while. What is preventing it to be part of the regular extras repository?

[CentOS] Lost mdadm.conf

Re: [CentOS] Lost mdadm.conf
Hi,
it worked (kind of). Thanks.
I was able to recreate (the all appear in /proc/mdstat) and in the rescue
I've mounted the /boot which maps to /dev/md0. But I can't mount any other
partition.
they all complain with the same error
mount: Mounting /dev/mdX on /tmp/mountpoint failed: no such file or
directory
Any ideas?

echo 'DEVICE /dev/hd[a-l]* /dev/sd[a-l]*' mdadm.conf

Hi, Yes. I have from /devmd0 to /dev/md6 (for some reason it skipped md3). I do not have the fstab at hand but / /boot and /tmp each map to a different mdX. I've been able to mount the /boot but no other. One thing, besides the /boot all the other are ext4. Could it be a problem with the rescue does not supporting this filesystem type.
