CentOS 5 Beta Feels Snappier
by Paul Vandenberg 23 Mar '07

23 Mar '07

Hi, Is it me or is CentOS 5 faster than FC6? I just switched and it seems that CentOS 5 loads faster and overall feels snappier. Could Red Hat have optimzed EL more than Fedora?. Just curious. I really like what I see with CentOS 5. The devs have done a great job making a profesisonal looking distro. An of course kudos to Red Hat for all the engineering and for making the SRPMS available.

Prblems log rotating a file
by Mário Gamito 23 Mar '07

23 Mar '07

Hi, I needed to logrotate a fil named qmail-queue.log from qmail-scanner. So i've edit /etc/syslog.conf and changed it to: *.info;qmail-queue.none;auth.none;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages (...) # qmail-queue logs qmail-queue /var/spool/qscan/qmail-queue.log Also, i've edit /etc/logrotate.d/syslog and changed to /var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/maillog /var/log/spooler /var/log/boot.log /var/log/cron /var/log/auth /var/spool/qscan/qmail-queue.log { sharedscripts postrotate /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true endscript } ---------------------------------------------------- I've restarted the syslog service In the end all i got was the file not being rotated as well as /var/log/messages: Mar 21 08:24:10 mail kernel: Kernel logging (proc) stopped. Mar 21 08:24:10 mail kernel: Kernel log daemon terminating. Mar 21 08:24:11 mail syslog: klogd shutdown succeeded Mar 21 08:24:11 mail exiting on signal 15 What am i doing wrong ? Any help would be appreciated. Warm Regards, Mário Gamito

4.4 i386 Server CD actually 64-bit?
by Ray Van Dolson 22 Mar '07

22 Mar '07

Just downloaded the CentOS 4.4 i386 Server CD. The md5sum on the file matches: My file: 8ccb89265b16ca551bd04a15b3cf59a1 (CentOS-4.4.ServerCD-i386.iso) md5sum.servercd: 8ccb89265b16ca551bd04a15b3cf59a1 (CentOS-4.4.ServerCD-i386.iso) However, when I boot up with the CD on a Compaq Armada E500 laptop (Pentium III), the following message pops up: "Your CPU does not support long mode. Use a 32bit distribution" If I use my regular CD 1 of the full i386 CentOS 4 install, I don't get this and am able to get into the installer. So is something wrong with the CentOS-4.4.ServerCD-i386.iso file on the mirrors? Thanks, Ray

You can find the links to the current beta ISOs, release notes, etc. on the CentOS main web page (the i386 and x86_54 ISOs are under http://beta.centos.org/centos/4.92/isos/). The estimate was for CentOS to trail RHEL 5 by about two weeks. This implies that we should see a production release of CentOS fairly soon but feel free to give the beta a whirl if you want. I'm currently running FC6 and CentOS 4.4 on different boxes for hardware support so I'm trying to get a jump on moving to only running CentOS 5 and not having to chase the latest Fedora version.

SATA RAID card recommendation?
by Florin Andrei 22 Mar '07

22 Mar '07

I need a SATA RAID PCI card that works well with CentOS and is fully supported. Mandatory features: - works with the drivers already in the kernel, no additional drivers - can do RAID 0, 1 and 5 - hotswap - allows to monitor the status of the array and of each individual drive via a script (ideally run from cron) - works with very large SATA drives Nice to have features but not mandatory: - small battery to keep the array alive until the write buffers are flushed after a power loss Anyone having positive experience with SATA RAID, please comment. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

Red Hat will continue to provide updates to Firefox 1.5 as per their support agreement for RHEL. RH *may* choose to upgrade RHEL 5 to Firefox 2.0 but whatever version is the official version will be supported as long as the RHEL release is supported. Cheers, Dave -- Politics, n.
