by Per Qvindesland 12 Jan '10

Hi Appologies I have not been following the thread here so am just wondering if you have a MSA, EVA, XP left hand san or if this is just storage that sits on the server with samba share? also what link is between fc or ethernet.

That thing will be hosting the school's vle. Looks like I better memorize the after hours password for HP support. What problems did you have? Do they occur mostly when the boxes are under high I/O load? This is really new to me as I had no problems with a DL360 G3 box that ran Windows 2000 and Exchange 2000 with regards to disk problems in my previous job. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

rsync optimization
by xufengnju 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

Hi, We currently have upload servers in one data center(A), and users upload the images there. We have storage server in another data center(B). When users upload many images at the same time, we face sync difficulties. On B, we use rsync in server mode, with authentication. On A, we use `rsync -azpogtRv --safe-links 1/ rsync://user@serverB/img/ --password-file=/var/www/r.passwd ` Both ends run centos 5.3 X86_64. Any suggestions to optimize rsync in this case? Thank you in advance. 2010-01-11 xufengnju

Help finding the X man page.
by Todd Denniston 11 Jan '10

11 Jan '10

I would like to tweak the way my gnome-terminals are coming up and the `man gnome-terminal` refers me to the "X" man page (specifically for --geometry). Although I have found what is probably an adequate version on line[1] (from the x.org folks no less), I would like to have the man page from CentOS ON my system. my yum foo is not doing so well... $ yum whatprovides \*/man7\*/X\*gz Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security No Matches found and $ yum whatprovides \*/man\*/X\*gz ... is a bit overwhelming and did not seem to have what I was looking for. further gentle clue-by-four available?

looking for kernel-xen- 2.6.18-164.el5
by Rudi Ahlers 11 Jan '10

11 Jan '10

Hi all, does anyone know where I can download kernel-xen- 2.6.18-164.el5 for CentOS 5? I can't install it with yum, since yum has a much newer version already. I have searched google, but can't find a download link, only a lot of references to the kernel w.r.t problems. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

Laptop for CentOS-5
by James B. Byrne 11 Jan '10

11 Jan '10

I have a defective HP-Compaq nx9420 and so I am looking to replace it. I have pretty much decided to buy no further MicroSoft based products and would very much like to hear recommendations for a suitable notebook host to provide me with Linux based alternative. Given that all the basic functionality required is provided, the main thing that I am looking for is reliability of the host itself. I do a deal of traveling so physical robustness is an issue. But I also use my notebook for hours at a time, generally every day. This means that I am typically on a/c current rather than batteries and that power regulation and heat dissipation are also concerns. The power regulator circuit is in fact what I believe has failed on the nx9420. Not infrequently I have the notebook on my chest or lap while working at home. So the ventilation clearances provided by a flat desk support are frequently absent and the notebook design must accommodate this. I would like to use CentOs as this is what I am most familiar with. But, I am open to CentOS alternatives like Ubuntu or even a non-Linux alternative like a PowerMac with OS-X. I have already looked at the Dell site on the basis of a friends recommendation. While Dell mentions Ubuntu is available for some of their notebook computers they do not seem to provide any way to actually configure a system with it. So, my desires are: WANT: Robust construction Reliable quality Reasonable weight (< 2.5 kg all in) Supported sound and video reproduction of reasonable quality 15-17" lcd screen Out-of-the-box support for wireless networking Battery life > 2.0 hrs. Not MS-Windows PREFER: 64 bit core duo 2 2-4+ Gb RAM 120+ Gb HDD writable multi-mode DVD/CD drive CentOS-5+ Your system suggestions, both for hardware and OS, are most welcome. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

ntpd appears to not be able to query ntp servers automatically?
by Ryan Pugatch 11 Jan '10

11 Jan '10

Hello all, After reboot, one of my servers running CentOS5 no longer keeps its clock synced automatically. ntpd is running and I don't see anything weird being logged. If I kick off ntpd with 'ntpd -q', it will sync the clock. However, if I just rely on ntpd started with 'service ntpd start', syncing does not happen. I previously had: # Undisciplined Local Clock. This is a fake driver intended for backup # and when no outside source of synchronized time is available. server 127.127.1.0 # local clock fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10 and noticed that ntpd would fail down to using the undisciplined local clock if I checked with ntpstat. I commented those out, and now ntpstat simply says: unsynchronised time server re-starting polling server every 64 Any idea as to why ntpd -q will sync, but otherwise the clock will not stay in sync even when the local clock drifts by several minutes? It worked fine prior to reboot. Thanks, Ryan
