[OpsTools] Introduction & Joining Request
by Christian Gebler 20 Sep '18

20 Sep '18

Hello everyone, my name is Christian and I would like to be part of CentOS OpsTools SIG. I'm a sysadmin for about 15 years now with a main focus on web application hosting. Most of the time in a global IT environment and with the goal to keep the systems secure, highly available and on a good performance. I often had to use a linux distributions that the customer wanted to use, but in the last 5 years I am in the lucky position to mainly use CentOS. (-: I have read the SIG wiki page with great enthusiasm and want to contribute something useful to the group. So my questions are...how can I join the OpsTools SIG and how can I easily start to contribute something useful to the group? Thanks a lot! (-: - Chris

Doubt on mmap :kernel-3.10.0-693.11.6.el7
by Prem Kumar 19 Sep '18

19 Sep '18

We are trying to map the disk file and content is written in to specific offset. In meanwhile, if try to access the mmap'd content at specified offset, we are getting NULL value. we have not called msync() yet. the mmap called with MAP_SHARED. Is it possible that mmap content can differ on read after write or is this the problem happening because read is called before the msync(). Thanks, Prem

Authorization to use CentOS logo in GNOME Boxes
by Fabiano Fidêncio 19 Sep '18

19 Sep '18

People, Firstly, sorry for the cross-list post (centos-devel and centos-docs). I'd like to reach you in order to ask for a formal authorization to use CentOS logo on GNOME Boxes[0]. GNOME Boxes already shows a few other distro's logos as you can check here[1]. Would be possible to get the explicit confirmation that we could use CentOS logo as well? [0]: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Boxes [1]: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-boxes/raw/master/README.logos Best Regards, -- Fabiano Fidêncio

Hurricane Florence and CentOS CI/CBS
by Brian Stinson 12 Sep '18

12 Sep '18

Hi All, Some of you may know that the CentOS Community Build System, and CentOS CI Infrastructures are hosted in Raleigh, North Carolina. I wanted to take this opportunity to let all of you know that outages are possible (but not expected) in the coming days as Hurricane Florence makes its way toward the US East coast. We are confident in the precautions taken by our datacenter vendor, and in the preparedness plans by our DC operations team. If there happen to be outages, we will work to get things back as soon as we can. Cheers! -- Brian Stinson CentOS Infrastructure Team

The September newsletter has been published - https://blog.centos.org/2018/09/centos-pulse-newsletter-september-2018-1804/ You'll notice (if you make a habit of reading the newsletter) that this edition has moved from the wiki to the blog, for various reasons discussed over on the promo mailing list. I will begin drafting the October newsletter later today. If you'd like to participate in that process, please let me know, so that we can get you added to the editors list. blog.centos.org authenticates against your existing CentOS account, so you already have an account on there, we just need to add you to the right ACL. --Rich -- Rich Bowen - rbowen(a)redhat.com @CentOSProject // @rbowen 859 351 9166

[RFE] Distinguished volume ids between different kinds of ISOs
by Fabiano Fidêncio 10 Sep '18

10 Sep '18

The reasoning behind this request is to have more accurate data in osinfo-db that could be used, for instance, by GNOME Boxes and virt-manager. Currently, as the "Everything", "DVD", "Minimal" and "Network" ISOs have exactly the same Volume id (CentOS 7 x86_64) we can't distinguish the ISOs the user have in order to help them to properly pick up whatever is better for their needs. The way we have been currently working this around is by having the ISO's volume size (which are usually different) combined with their Volume id. This approach, however, won't work well in CentOS case as we're offering the "Rolling" ISOs to the users and their volume size will change on every new addition/removal. I've also noticed that for the Live ISOs they volume id is already distinguished (CentOS-7-x86_64-LiveKDE-* vs CentOS-7-x86_64-LiveGNOME-*) thus the RFE to see whether doing the same for the other ISOs would be something appealing to CentOS. This conversation can also be done in https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=15260 in case the developers prefer that way. Best Regards, -- Fabiano Fidêncio

HPC Sig
by Paul Graydon 06 Sep '18

06 Sep '18

Hi all, There was some email conversation on this list a couple of weeks ago about the HPC SIG, but it didn't really seem to go anywhere or have any solid conclusion, other than "join #centos-devel". Between some freenode instability/spam protections etc. some issues with my usual persistent session, and just sheer quantity of conversation happening there, it's somewhat hard to figure out where anything sits. I didn't see any obvious signs of further conversation there, but there's a good chance I missed it. If there was further conversation and someone would be able to point me towards it off list, I'd love to read it. As a cloud provider that provides high spec bare metal servers to customers, we're finding a lot of usage and interest from customers with various forms of HPC workloads, everything from GROMACs to Hadoop and beyond. CentOS, likewise, continues to be a popular distribution for our customers, across every hardware and virtual machine specification. If there's ideas on how to make HPC better on CentOS, I'd love to be part of the conversation, and see if there are opportunities to help. Paul
