Is FUSE enabled in centos5 ?
by Narasimha Valiveti 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Hello, I noticed FUSE is not there by default disabled on centos 5. Is there a separate RPM that includes FUSE module for the same kernel as of centos 5 ?. I have installed the latest centos 5 update, don't see FUSE enabled . [root@xx]# pwd /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.8.el5/source [root@xx]# grep FUSE .config # CONFIG_FUSE_FS is not set [root@xx]# I checked both addons and centosplus, it doesn't seem to be their also. Any comments where I can find the FUSE module already built for centos 5 kernels (FYI, I really don't want to build a FUSE module by myself, which is what I am doing right now !) ?. Thanks for the help, - vnr PS: Sorry, if you are getting multiple posts, my earlier post somehow got lost !.

Hello, Just noticed a NFS panic on centos5 (no updates applied yet). I don't have the serial console attached yet to get the exact stack. However, here is the stack: shrink_dcache_for_umount generic_shutdown_super kill_anon_super nfs_kill_super deactivate_super mntput_no_expire do_exit sys_exit_group sys_exit_group syscall_call . . . EIP: shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree [root@xx]# uname -a Linux xx 2.6.18-8.el5 #1 SMP Thu Mar 15 19:57:35 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux While I plan to install the latest update, has anyone seen this with centos5 and do you know which update fixes this ?. Thanks for the help, - vnr

A Thank you to the Developers for the Free Software
by Ow Mun Heng 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

I was feeling a bit un-appreciated as a Developer and I thought of all the other developers of Open Source (Free) Software who relentlessly contribute to/make Open Source (free) software. I just wanted to take some time to officially say *Thank You* for all the good things which you guys/gals have made to my(/our) benefit, of which has either saved my skin or improved my work efficiency. To All of you, I say a Big Thank You for it. Let no one tell you that you are Un-appreciated for all the hard work you have poured into your relevant projects. Seriously, Thank you.

DVD Drive Recommendations
by Camron W. Fox 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Alle, Our customer is looking for a drive with the following specs that works (but is not necessarily supported by the vendor, that would be gravy) on CentOS4/5: DVD hyper multidrive, capable of reading and writing DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, DVD-R for DL, and DVD+R DL. The HP DVD940e (USB 2.0, but that is *not* a requirement, http://www.shopping.hp.com/product/desktop/dvd_writers/1/storefronts/RX901A…) was suggested but we are not familiar with it at all. Does anyone have any suggestions/experience they wish to share? Best Regards, Camron -- Camron W. Fox Hilo Office High Performance Computing Group Fujitsu America, INC.

Major problem with software raid
by ajulvestad 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Ok, this is the case: I've got two raid-5 arrays with software raid, both with three disks. Setup: md0 has hdb2, hdd1 and sda1 md1 has hdb5, hdd3 and sda3 Tonight, the system lost power due to a power spike. The result was a reboot where it attempted to fix the raid, but it didn't exactly work. I have now booted a live CD and using utilities there. It seems the checksum value is slightly off for all disks. And the update time is the same for some disks, but not all. When I try mdadm --assemble /dev/md1 (or md0) with various options like force, scan, auto, etc - I get error messages like only 1 drive found, not enough.. no disks found and no mention of md0/1 found in config file. What should I do? Which partitions (two in each array) do I pick as "these two are the one I should rebuild with"? And how do I actually FORCE mdadm to start an array with those two set devices? See files in http://gandalf.n4f.no/~aj/md/ for output from mdadm. Assistance deeply appreciated...

source rpms for fedora
by Dave 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Hello, I'm running centos5. There's some rpms that exist on fedora that are not in centos5 in it's repos. I was wondering if it was possible to set up yum to get only selected packages in source rpm form ou of a fedora repo and install them on centos? In that way they could be recompiled for centos5. Thanks. Dave.

This is a public thank you, to whoever wrote the Wiki's for adding 3rd party repositories, ProtectBase and Priorities. Clear, excellent, step by step instructions.

CentOS 5 Live USB
by Mark Rose 26 Jul '07

26 Jul '07

I took a stab at making a bootable CentOS 5 Live USB pendrive and I ended up with a kernel panic. I was able to do this with a live CD of CentOS 4, but it seems the same procedure does not work for the new version. Has anyone been able to accomplish this? Any and all thoughts are apprecicated!
