Acronis True Image Agent on CentOS
by Kai Schaetzl 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

Has anyone successfully installed Acronis True Image Agent 9.1 (that's the version before Echo) on CentOS 5 (or 4?). It fails for me in the dkms build of the snapapi kernel module. As it is the first time I install it on a Linux OS I am not sure if this problem is CentOS 5 specific or happens to occur on any Linux regularly, anyway.

Colors in vi for user rootRe:

The upstream distribution changed root from using vim (with syntax highlighting) to using vi. With the 4.X versions root was using vim. The 5.X configuration is: [root@bend ~]# which vi /bin/vi [dave@bend ~]# which vi vi: aliased to vim [dave@bend ~]# which vim /usr/bin/vim The idea is that vi is in /bin which should be available if the system can boot at all. Stuff under /usr may be in a different partition and, thus, may not be available for some reason. Cheers, Dave -- Politics, n.

Moving from RAID 0 to LVM RAID?
by Scott R. Ehrlich 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

So I've learned a valuable RAID 0 lesson, and it fortunately was not a major catastrophy. I got lucky, and had a workable-enough backup on tape to make the user who needed some data happy. Now, from the OS side, LVM is an option. Say the RAID controller only allows hardware striping or mirroring for logical volumes, but I want to use more than two disks, and I don't want the RAID 0 problem again. When I get a replacement disk and build the system from the ground up again, I could, conceivably, use hardware RAID 1 for the OS on two disks, and CentOS 5 64-bit's LVM for software RAID 5 (or maybe 1+0 if available) on the remaining for 4 disks, maybe 3 disks as active and the 4th as a hot spare? I've never had much faith in software raid, since it is not hardware-based, and there would be a performance hit, but in this case, it could be an option. Insights from the OS-created RAID experience welcome. Thanks again. Scott

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible

Perl-5.8.8-10 "use overload" backport breaks performance?
by Amos Shapira 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

Hello, There is text in the documentation of Class::DBIx as follows: There is a problem with slow performance of certain DBIx::Class operations in perl-5.8.8-10 and later on RedHat and related systems, due to a bad backport of a "use overload" related bug. The problem is in the Perl binary itself, not in DBIx::Class. If your system has this problem, you will see a warning on startup, with some options as to what to do about it. (from http://search.cpan.org/~ash/DBIx-Class-0.08010/lib/DBIx/Class/Manual/Intro.…) and indeed when I run a test I get: # perl -MDBIx::Class -e1 WARNING: DBIx::Class::StartupCheck: This version of Perl is likely to exhibit extremely slow performance for certain critical operations. Please consider recompiling Perl. For more information, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=196836 and/or http://lists.scsys.co.uk/pipermail/dbix-class/2007-October/005119.html. You can suppress this message by setting DBIC_NO_WARN_BAD_PERL=1 in your environment. Now it looks like the current solution is to compile a package by myself. Is there a way I can avoid this and just grab a fixed or older working version from some known repository? This is on a CentOS 5 with all updated packages ("yum update" doesn't update anything), rpmforge is enabled in case this matters. Thanks, --Amos

audio file validation tool ?
by John R Pierce 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

I need a command line tool to validate mp3 file(s).... just something that scans the file and looks for structural errors and reports it. background, I've recovered a few 1000 MP3 files off a dying disk drive for a radio station, some of the other files I recovered had several K byte long blocks of zeros splatted in the middle where the dying drive did bad sector remapping (SMART reported 1900+ sectors had been remapped)... this particular library was the playlist for an internet radio station run as a pet project by the program director of a FM station... said PD passed away from cancer last year, and the station management wants to put this internet station back online as a legacy to her. its a very obscure bunch of music, all old 'cowboy' songs. :)
