updating ALSA
by first last 08 Feb '05

08 Feb '05

Hi, I have installed CentOS 4 beta and everything works apart from the sound. Searching online I have found that Fedora Core 3 requires upgrading ALSA to the very latest version for sound to work on this laptop, that probaly means that I need to upgrade ALSA. Is there anytwhere I can get updates RPMs/SRPMs or do I have to compile the updates? AFAIK alsa is now part of the kernel, will this cause much trouble for future upgrades? Talking about kernels, is it possible to update the kernel to 2.6 on CentOS 3 without breaking much? Thanks Gabriel ___________________________________________________________ ALL-NEW Yahoo!

RE: [Centos] Bind Issues
by Foster, Mark 07 Feb '05

Hi John. Normally in the redhat setup the named process runs as the named user. This can be seen by running `ps -aux | egrep '[n]amed'` named 1661 0.0 0.2 40108 4836 ? S Jan31 0:25 /usr/sbin/named -u named -t /jail/named As you can see from the first column the user is named. Also the -u flag indicates the same. So if any of your slave zone files are owned by root they won't be writable by named. I recommend you chown those zone files to be owned by named user. -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)caosity.org [mailto:centos-bounces@caosity.org] On Behalf Of John Hinton Sent: Monday, February 07, 2005 8:43 AM To: CentOS(a)caosity.org Subject: [Centos] Bind Issues I'm running bind in a chroot environment. It seems that since the Redhat snafu which wrecked bind (yes, I had caching nameserver running as well but not anymore) I have been having problem with my slave nameservers retrieving updates from the master. Looking at the zone records, some are owned by root, some are owned by named. I'm now confused as to what the ownership should be and what permissions should be assigned. Could someone shed some light on this? Thanks, John Hinton _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)caosity.org http://lists.caosity.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Raid 1 - further
by Nigel Kendrick 04 Feb '05

04 Feb '05

Managed to get RAID 1 working but the sync process claimed it was going to take a serious amount of time. Looking at the stats revealed that the sync operation was running at a max of 250kB/sec which seems chronically low. Basic drive performance (hdparm) tests seemed OK so I guess the controller's not up to it? The info that came with the controller was all-but-non-existent but during a reboot I noticed that it flashed up a 'press CTRL-S to enter RAID setup' for about 1/4 sec and I managed to catch it and define card/BIOS-based RAID but this got confusing because when I restarted the server, Linux could still see 'hda' and 'hdc' rather that a single 'drive' as I expected. That's where I left it as I had to go sort out a couple of WIN2K servers (mumble mumble) with trojan infections! Next week I might try putting the drives on separate controllers again and re-setup Linux software RAID, otherwise I'll check out some of the recommendations I saw earlier for better controllers. Thanks NK

bug: comps has wrong version number
by Farkas Levente 03 Feb '05

03 Feb '05

hi, comps in rh9 is comps-9-0.20030313 while in the latest centos-3.4 it's comps-3.4centos.0-0.20050105 so the rh9 has higher version number which means this packages not upgraded during an upgrade to any version of centos. and yum also not upgrade this package. imho it's a bug. is there any way to find out what other packages is remain from some older rh version? yours. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"
