Lingering dhclient issue
by Alfred von Campe 22 Jun '11

22 Jun '11

I recently reconfigured some CentOS 4.3 systems that were using DHCP to use static IP addresses. At the same time, the systems were moved to a new VLAN. Here is the approximate sequence of events that took place: 1. ifdown eth0 2. edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 with static IP address 3. wait for network folks to reconfigure switch 4. ifup eth0 I may have reversed steps 1 and 2 on some of the systems. The problem was that the dhclient process didn't go away, and kept renewing the old lease. Our DHCP server is configured to contact the DNS server and update the entry for each host it serves. So the DNS entries for these systems were pointing to the old address in the old VLAN. The eth0 interface itself just kept the static IP address for which it was configured. It took me a while to figure out what was going on. My question is, what could I have done to avoid this (other than killing the dhclient process)? Is there a better way to reconfigure an interface to use a static address? I am not interested in solutions that involve using a GUI (i.e., only command line solutions). Thanks, Alfred

I have an old RHEL3 box that I am upgrading to CentOS5. I picked up a new Dell Poweredge R200 to use for that. Is there an easy way to copy all the user accounts and existing mail from the old server to the new one? Thanks. -- -=/>Thom

Mirroring Hard Drive
by Matt 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

I have a 500GB Sata drive about 15% used I would like to make an exact copy of too another Sata 500GB drive as a spare. That way if something happens to the one in service I can plug in the spare quickly and restore one of the weekly backups without reinstalling the entire OS and all the little tweaks of setup on this mail/web server. How do I do this? That is make an exact bootable copy of a linux drive. Its running Centos 4.6 if that matters. Matt

nspluginwrapper included in CentOS 5.2 fails completely
by MHR 18 Nov '08

18 Nov '08

I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. I run CentOS 5.2 x86_64 on my workstation at home. Since 5.2 came out with nepluginwrapper bundled into it, none of my plugins work. I thought it was just a problem with the flash plugin, but neither the mplayerplug-in plugins nor the adobe acrobat reader plugin work, either. I have this problem both with the Seamonkey contributed 64-bit build and my own (otherwise perfectly working) native build of the 2.01a pre-release trunk build (which I have been using since January, with occasional updates, the most recent being about a week ago). I have not tried going back to the 32-bit release of Seamonkey, although I suppose that's next. I stopped using that when it kept crashing when I tried to save a web page after having visited some unknown threshold level of pages (i.e., it wouldn't do this on the first or second web page, but somewhere down the line, a threshold was crossed and it would crash fairly regularly). In discussions with the Mozilla folks, I concluded that the problem had something to do with running the 32-bit release on my 64-bit OS. Due to some peculiarity in the 1.x Mozilla build process, I was never able to build a 64-bit version of the 1.x releases, but I had no trouble running the L&G not-yet-released revision, with occasional glitches from the bugs that I ran into (and reported). But, back to the point: There are two major issues I have with the 5.2 bundled nspluginwrapper: 1) The nspluginwrapper program itself is gone, which makes it a little (lot) harder to manage and troubleshoot the problems. and, more importantly: 2) None of the 32-bit plugins that are supposed to be wrapped work. Period. Is this something I should report in bugzilla, at CentOS (and upstream)? I didn't see it in the bugs listed at CentOS.org. Thanks. mhr

bonding theory question
by Mag Gam 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Hello All, I am currently using bonding with 2 NICs (using mode 0). Its been working well, but I am trying to understand how it works (I am a total newbie). mode=0 (balance-rr) Round-robin policy: Transmit packets in sequential order from the first available slave through the last. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance. So I have 2 NICs (1 NIC attached to switch A, 2nd NIC attached to switch B). I have 1 virtual interface. bon0. Suppose data is being pushed out, it will go with 1st NIC and when it gets overloaded it will use 2nd NIC. The bonding driver will be responsible for it. Similar to the push, the pull will be very similar. The data gets pulled and the bonding driver will assemble the packets together? Does this sound right? Sorry for a newbie question... TIA

Picasa vs. native photo management apps
by Niki Kovacs 01 Nov '08

01 Nov '08

Hi, I'm running a small business (http://www.microlinux.fr) offering various services around GNU/Linux, among which migrating folks from Windows to Linux. On server and desktops, I'm using CentOS exclusively. I know, Fedora would be more suitable, but I like the solidity of CentOS, and I can always build the odd missing bits myself from Fedora SRPMS. My heavily customized CentOS-based desktop is very solid and production-proof (in use in all the public libraries around here). One request that I got more often lately is Google Picasa. I vaguely remember having downloaded and installed it once. As far as I know, it's a closed-source Windows app that comes with a WINE emulation layer. Not exactly the open source spirit. As far as I'm concerned, I manage all my photos with some very basic tools: GThumb, Nautilus, GIMP, and that's it. Are there some tasks one performs with Picasa that one can't perform with these native programs? Or is there some other well-made photo management software that you can recommend as a replacement for Picasa? Cheers, Niki Kovacs
