debugging auto mount configuration
by Boris Epstein 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

Hello there, I successfully use automount to mount a large XFS pargtition on one CentOS 5.5 machine. I then tried to do the same thing on a different machine - and it simply would not work! The configuration is done in the same fashion, I checked and double-checked the syntax - but it is still a no go. When I use the mount command the partition mounts perfectly. I have tried running automount --debug and automount --verbose and thus far have not seen any messages that would shed any light on what's going on. So I am a bit lost at the moment. Any advice on how to proceed would be much appreciated. Boris.

UDP Perfomance tuning
by Prasad Pillarisetti 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

Hi, We are running on 5.5 on a HP ProLiant DL360 G6. Kernel version is 2.6.18-194.17.1.el5 (we had also tested with the latest available kernel kernel-2.6.18-238.1.1.el5.x86_64) We running some performance tests using the "iperf" utility. We are seeing very bad and inconsistent performance on the UDP testing. The maximum we could get, was 440 Mbits/sec, and it varies from 250 to 440 Mbits/sec. We are connected on a 1000Mb/s link, we also tested the same using a cross-over connections between the two machines, but the same performance. We also see a lot of dropped UDP packets. Udp: 551522838 packets received 1902 packets to unknown port received. 109709802 packet receive errors 7239 packets sent We had checked all the kernel configurations and set them as recommended. This is the settings and tests we have done Server: net.core.rmem_default = 2097152 net.core.wmem_default = 2097152 net.core.rmem_max = 8388608 net.core.wmem_max = 8388608 strace -fttt -o /tmp/server.trace iperf -s -u -p 2222 -w 6m -i 5 -l 1k Client: net.core.rmem_default = 2097152 net.core.wmem_default = 2097152 net.core.rmem_max = 8388608 net.core.wmem_max = 8388608 strace -fttt -o /tmp/client.trace iperf -p 2222 -u -w 6m -i 5 -t 60 -c 192.168.1.2 -b 990M -l 1k Can someone please help me with this, since I am running in circles and can't get the required UDP performance? -- Prasad Pillarisetti "If everything is coming your way, then you are in the wrong lane"

Re: [CentOS] Installation failure
by Chris Weisiger 11 Mar '11

Glad you got it working. Most of the power supply checkers aren't worth it. I checked 3 power supplies with a checker and all 3 didnt work on the pc i was working on. It was the power supplies, i took one out of a running pc and the one being worked on powered up. So it is just easier just to swap the power supply out to start with.

Shoulda thought of that up front. Interestingly, I have a power supply tester I bought at CompUSA before they left SoCal, and it said that power supply was fine. Ha ha ha. I think I need a new one, one that actually works....

Server hangs on CentOS 5.5
by Michael Eager 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

Hi -- I'm running a server which is usually stable, but every once in a while it hangs. The server is used as a file store using NFS and to run VMware machines. I don't see anything in /var/log/messages or elsewhere to indicate any problem or offer any clue why the system was hung. Any suggestions where I might look for a clue? -- Michael Eager eager(a)eagercon.com 1960 Park Blvd., Palo Alto, CA 94306 650-325-8077

Installation failure
by Mark 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

I'm trying to reinstall CentOS on a machine I've reconditioned for it, but for reasons I can't fathom, when the installation disk comes up and prompts for the install type, and I type either <enter> (graphics isntall) or "linux text"<enter>, after it loads the initrd image, the machine shuts off. It's an older machine I built myself (and ran CentOS on for a number of years), AMD Athlon 64 x2, 2GB of memory, 2 SATA hard drives, ECS GE6100PM-M2 motherboard. I should probably even know the answer to this one, but I'm stumped. Any suggestions? Thanks.
