auto seek a server
by Jerry Geis 26 Feb '08

26 Feb '08

Hi all, When putting multiple centos 5.1 boxes on a network (DHCP for network) and 1 centos 5.1 server is there a way that these clients can automatically "seek" the server. Is there something in centso 5.1 that an inquiry can be sent out that says: Is there a "Product XYZ" on this network? And the server - and not all the clients - can respond to this quiry. Just wondering, trying to reduce my setup time... Jerry

centos 5.1 install , 3ware raid card...
by Tom Bishop 26 Feb '08

26 Feb '08

Installing a new system using a 3ware card, raid 5 across 4 disks, partition, format went smothly and loaded the apps that I need, but for some reason it appears grub was not installed, or not completely. I am wanting to boot from the array, when installing grub on the loader it asks whether to install MBR on the first partition. Should I use the partition instead of the MBR? When I boot up in rescue mode and go to /boot/grub all I see is splash....no other files. Any suggestions would be welcome...thanks.

RE: [CentOS] Huge mailq
by Jason Pyeron 26 Feb '08

26 Feb '08

Let's start with an oops, that messages was sent on Thursday. The queue spiked at 320k messages, then we discovered a name server was down, causing an nfs authentication problem, which caused homedirs to not be deliverable, causing the queue to reach DOS levels, causing the spamfilter to switch off, causing mail not to be delivered... With a little careful loading (beefed up the VM config) we were able to deliver all but 25k in 17 hours. I guess this request was one of the 25k. > -----Original Message----- > From: lists-centos > [mailto:replies-lists-a1z2-centos@listmail.innovate.net] > Sent: Monday, February 25, 2008 20:20 > To: Jason Pyeron > Subject: Re: [CentOS] Huge mailq > > you should start by looking at your maillog to see what's going on. > you should also check to see if you have a sendmail/postfix (whatever > your mta - i'm assuming sendmail because postfix holds its outbound > queue differently) queue process running. > sendmail > entries in the maillog will help you figure out if legit mail is > backing up, and hints as to why, or if you're a spam "gateway". if > the latter, you need to look into the source. e.g., are you an open > relay or do you have web pages that spammers are using. > > it's possible that you have a lot of orphaned df* (data) files, but a > rather large number. > > this is just a start ... > > [by the way, you don't need a "find" to feed to a "wc". a "wc -l qf*" > in the mqueue directory would do the trick.] > Too many thingies on the cmd line error. > - Rick > > > > ------------ Original Message ------------ > > Date: Thursday, February 21, 2008 11:05:45 AM -0500 > > From: Jason Pyeron <jpyeron(a)pdinc.us> > > To: 'CentOS mailing list' <centos(a)centos.org> > > Subject: [CentOS] Huge mailq > > > > Where should we start on preventing this type of problem? > > > > [root@server34 mqueue]# find | wc -l > > 185259 > > > > -jason > > > ---------- End Original Message ---------- > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - - - Jason Pyeron PD Inc. http://www.pdinc.us - - Principal Consultant 10 West 24th Street #100 - - +1 (443) 269-1555 x333 Baltimore, Maryland 21218 - - - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged, proprietary, or otherwise private information.

Yum-updatesd not functioning
by Damien Solodow 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

I have a couple of CentOS 5.1 boxes, mostly i386, but a couple x86_64, some real, some virtual. On all of them, I have yum-updatesd configured to emit via email to root. Here is a sample yum-updatesd.conf from one of them: [main] # how often to check for new updates (in seconds) run_interval = 14400 # how often to allow checking on request (in seconds) updaterefresh = 600 # how to send notifications (valid: dbus, email, syslog) emit_via = email email_from = root@FQDN (the real server FQDN is in the file) # should we listen via dbus to give out update information/check for # new updates dbus_listener = yes # automatically install updates do_update = no # automatically download updates do_download = no # automatically download deps of updates do_download_deps = no None of the servers notified me of the batch of updates that came out this weekend. Running 'service yum-updatesd status' on each of them showed it as running, yet a 'yum update' showed the available updates. I tried running yum-updatesd manually on each, and after loading the plugins (installonlyn and priorities) it appears to hang or pause but no messages were generated either on console, /var/log/messages or email. Any idea what gives?

How to speed up Rsync transfers
by Dan Carl 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

Is there a way to speed up rsync transfers? I tested the bandwidth with iperf (recommended to me in an earlier post & worked well)its as advertised by my ISP's around 740KB/sec. When I manually run my rsync script with the --progress switch the transfers are around 100KB/sec. I googled this and the only thing I found had to do with the TCP window which I understand to be the limiting factor. But if this is true how can I ftp stuff at 300KB/sec? (someone please enlighten me) I'm backing up jpg files and some days they add 5+GB of images. My goal was to backup the images nightly, but at the 100KB/sec rate that's not possible. Dan
