depmod madness
by Artie Ziff 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

Hello, What can I do when attempting to run depmod with these options: -Ae -b base -F System.map to prevent depmod from appending the following path: lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.14.el5/modules.dep.temp to the specified base? I am specifying a base as: -b ./lib/modules/2.6.16.23-custom So depmod errors/fails with: FATAL: Could not open ./lib/modules/2.6.16.23-custom/lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.14.el5/modules.dep.temp btw, '/lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.14.el5' belongs to the native system that is running on my host Why is depmod using that "system" path? Thank you. -AZ

New phenom quad core and centos 5.1
by Jerry Geis 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

Any one here tried the phenom (B3 stepping) and centos 5.1? Any issues? I would presume there are no issues, but thought I'd ask before moving on. I am considering getting a Phenom 9850. Wish the clock speed was higher at this point. Jerry

rsync question
by Ray Leventhal 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

Hi folks, I've been trying to wrap my head around this for a bit, done my googling and archive searching but I still can't seem to 'get' it. Here goes: I've a spare drive in my CentOS5.1 box, which (for testing now) I mount manually under /mnt/backup I want to backup the /home tree to that box nightly via rsync (cronjob), so I tried this: rsync -avrogz /home/ /mnt/backup/ All goes well, but it seems that rsync is copying the files and compressing them into an archive....both the file structure and the archive exist. Is there a flag I'm missing, or is there a better, more efficient way to get this accomplished? Thanks in advance, -Ray

xfs and centosplus kernel
by Fong Vang 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

I read that XFS has problems with 4K Stack size for Linux on 32-bit systems. How did we address this in the centosplus kernel? Since what release of CentOS was this problem resolved? Is there a quick way to know what size the Linux stack is configured to be in a system's that's running? Thanks for your help.

Setting clock rate on CentOS kernel
by Ben Mills 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

Last evening I updated my Cent 5 server to 5.1. All went flawlessly, and it rebooted with the new kernel just fine. How do I set the clock rate on the new kernel? According to documentation it can be done, but everything I read is rather vague. Check out section 3 at the URL below: http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.1/ I'm using a 32 bit server installation (no graphical stuff) on a Dell Poweredge 2650. I'd like to compare performance of a 100 Hz kernel against a 1KHz kernel. It reads like it's simple enough to set the divider if I just knew where to set it. -- Ben

Apache Authorization Access Control - location of htpasswd in Centos 5.1?
by Pam Astor 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

Hi, I’m trying to set up a private family web site for genealogy, and want to set up Apache Authorization access control for this site, and once the user has logged in has access to the entire site. I’ve been reading the info at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/auth.html to learn how to do this. I’m just planning on passing out the same username and password to all family members and allow everyone in the family to use the same username and password, to keep things simple. The server is running Centos 5.1. The first problem I am running into – I’m trying to use the htpasswd utility that came with Apache 2.2 to create a password file. The default location according to above URL is in /usr/local/apache2/bin/htpasswd but apparently it’s not located there in my install. I tried creating a password file by executing htpasswd -c /passwd/passwords famsite but apparently htpasswd is not in my path, I’m getting the “cannot create file /passwd/passwords famsite” error. Anyone know where the default location of htpasswd is on a centos 5.1 install? Or how to generate a password file on a centos 5.1 install? _________________________________________________________________ Pack up or back up–use SkyDrive to transfer files or keep extra copies.

NFS, acls, proto, and "kernel: svc: unknown version"
by Stephen Towler 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

Hi all, 1) My NFS3 clients don't display or obey existing non-POSIX ACLs on files of NFS3-mounted exports. 2) setfacl on the client throws error and fails : # setfacl -m u:stowler:rw testfile.text setfacl: testfile.text: Operation not supported 3) at time of client mount the server's /var/log/messages shows "kernel: svc: unknown version (3)". Any thoughts greatly appreciated. Will be happy to provide more configs in addition to below.
