40 second delay on automounts with 2.6.18-53.1.21.el5 kernel
by Joe Pruett 29 May '08

29 May '08

after this latest centos 5 kernel update, i am seeing 40 second delays on automount points. nothing in the rpm changelog looks obviously related to autofs and the autofs module seems to be the same as the previous kernel. i'm starting to do some strace'ing and other debugging, but nothing has jumped out at me yet. i'm hoping someone else has seen it so i know i'm not alone :-).

nfsnobody 65534 vs 4294967294
by David Halik 29 May '08

29 May '08

Hi, I just had a couple of questions about nfsnobody. We run a very large NFS infrastructure based off of a NetApp, and we're been discussing whether or not it is necessary to have 64 bit nfsnobody as 4294967294. I understand the reasoning behind this (2^32 - 2 gives you a max UID), but we're having issues since we run multiple architectures. The UID doesn't play nice across Solairs, Centos, 32 vs 64bit, etc. Are there any obvious security risks or problems with using nfsnobody as 65534 (2^16 - 2) on 64bit, or even just assigning it a random value, 300 for example? I can't see any particular reason for having such a high number other than to keep it above any possible real UID space. Also, the NetApp automatically generates quota tables based off of the highest UID, so obviously this is a *major* problem if suddenly we have billions of users as far as the NetApp is concerned. Ultimately, we'd like to just assign it a low value in the range with our other system account, but we are not sure of the potential risks with NFS etc. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks! -- ================================ David Halik System Administrator OIT-CSS Rutgers University dhalik(a)jla.rutgers.edu ================================

openafs kernel module
by Markus Hetzenecker 29 May '08

29 May '08

We start to use centos 5 for our workstation at our site (University Innsbruck) and we use openafs to hold the home directories. There would be a big advantage to have the openafs kernel module (and the additional rpms) in the centos extras (or addons) repository with an automatic compile for the available kernels. If you need any help to do this i would be happy to participate in any way. Cheers, Markus. --- fork() off; LinuxBetreuung Uni Ibk, fon: +43 512 507 2369 GnuPG key: http://www.uibk.ac.at/~c102130/public_key.asc

PPPoE client help
by Robert Moskowitz 29 May '08

29 May '08

Please point me in the right direction.... My ISP is giving me an IPv6 prefix, but to get that I have to: The current Speedstream ADSL router will be configured as a bridge. I will have to set up a Linux (read Centos, I hope) router that will connect ethernet to the Speedstream but run PPPoE to his network and get both the IPv4 and IPv6 route delegations. There is no easy way that I know of to test this ahead of time. I basically have to get the box configed, have my ISP switch the Speedstream to briding mode, and GO! So I need to do some reading....
