Congratulations to the Centos Team for the hard work on Centos 6
by Philip L Pinto 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

I just wanted to say Congratulations and thank you to the Centos Team for all of the work on Centos 6 - I know the last few months have not been easy - but the real benefit will be that Centos 6 will be as good and as stable as Centos 5 has been for me and everyone who has been using it for the past 4 years. It has never a matter of just getting it done - but getting it done right. Thank You Phil -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content.

CentOS-6, isos and release
by Karanbir Singh 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

hi guys, I appreciate that the visibility of centos-6 content is highly tempting and many people are going to be jumping in to get on there asap - however, I just want to point out that till its released, its liable to change. And I can *confirm* that content presently visible is going to change. So hang in there, give it another day or so - dont do the installs till the mirror system is online, till the sha sum's for content is published, till the torrents are available. - KB

More on CentOS autotools bug
by John J. Boyer 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

Below is a repost of the message I sent about the strange error message I was getting when trying to build my project on CentOS. I am a software developer and don't have time to compare distros. I am also not an autotools expert. The autotools files in my project were lmade by others. It builds on everything except CentOS. I also don't have the time to build a simple test case. That would probably be time-consuming. The only thing I can do is explain how to reproduce the error. However, this would be time-consuming for anyone trying to do so. Sorry, I think I will just have to move to another distro, even Cygwin, for C development. That is a shame, because Centos is great in other respects. ----- Forwarded message from "John J.

Boyer" <john.boyer(a)abilitiessoft.com> Date: Thu, 7 Jul 2011 00:08:09 -0500 To: centos(a)centos.org I am using CentOS 5.6, autoconf 2.59 and automake 1.9.6. I run an autogen script which cleans all autotools files and then installs new ones. If the appliction has no dependencies running configure, make and make install works fine. However if it has dependencies I get the messages "Creating Makefile" and "Could not find input file Makefile". I've herd that I need another development package. What is it? Or what causes these contradictory messages? I must say that I have encountered this sort of problem only on CentOS. Thanks, John -- John J.

Translate Centos Release Notes into your own non-English Language
by Always Learning 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

Centos 6.0 Release Notes are here http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS6.0 Volunteers whose native (or first language) is not English are invited to translate the Release Notes into their own language. There are probably other useful translation tasks to make Centos understandable to people all around the world. Should the Centos Mailing List diversify into non-English language versions ? For example, Chinese (which version?) , Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian etc. etc. ? For example: chinese(a)centos.org -- With best regards, Paul. England, EU.

centos 6 (what else? :) :)
by fred smith 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

Hi all! My thanks to the Centos team for continuing to slave away on C6 even with all the distractions!!! Just did a test install on my eeepc 901 (on an external drive, til I'm comfortable with it) and find that it doesn't seem to know how to talk to the ralink 2860 wireless chipset. A few months back I did a test install of Scientific Linux 6 and as I recall it (I may be mis-remembering) it "just worked". So I enabled EPEL and RPMFUSION but they don't seem to have the driver either. Clues appreciated. Thanks again to all to work on this! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "For the word of God is living and active.

hi guys, I have about 80 CentOS T-Shirts, ranging from Medium to 3XL in size. These are the grey T-shirts we can see Ralph, Garry and the guys from hostdime modeling for us at: http://www.karan.org/pics/centos/images/002-IMG_2571.JPG If you would like one, please send me an email on kbsingh at the centos.org domain, and let me know your address and what size you would want, I would be happy to ship it out to any part of the world as long as you are willing to cover postage costs ( as an example : they fit into jiffy bags that cost £1 at the postoffice, and its about £1.50 shipping per Tshirt to the UK via first class ). First come, first serve! And I will confirm costs before sending them out. - KB

Upgrade from CentOS 5.x to 6.0
by Trey Dockendorf 10 Jul '11

10 Jul '11

Great news about CentOS 6.0 being available, and I figured I'd ask the most obvious question, what can I expect when upgrading from CentOS 5.6 to 6.0? I have not had to go from one major version of CentOS to another so this is new territory for me. Is the processes just like an install except there's an "Upgrade" option? Does an upgrade do a "yum update" of everything installed? Most of my systems use EPEL and some the IUS repos...is there a way during the upgrade to just upgrade system components and leave things like PHP, httpd and MySQL alone for now? Any suggestions on monitoring the upgrade progress via syslog or some other method so I can see exactly what is being done during the upgrade? Thanks - Trey

CentOS and Bandwidth
by Michael Peterson 10 Jul '11

10 Jul '11

I am looking forward to using CentOS 6 soon. I have the torrent running to download and help others download it. I am trying out Scientific Linux 6 while awaiting the arrival of CentOS 6. It took a lot of work to get it installed and configured on a system. I plan to run them both on 2 systems and see what happens. I look forward to the release of CentOS 6.1 soon also. Let me know where I can browse to see if I can help in any areas other than the torrent. If I have a T1 size pipe going out what is my max possible kB out? I have the torrent turned up to 100kB and my VPN still seems responsive. Thanks for all the hard working in getting this release ready. Good job on getting CentOS 5.6 out first however.

bond0 performance issues in 5.6
by Digimer 10 Jul '11

10 Jul '11

Hi all, I've got two gigabit ethernet interfaces bonded in CentOS 5.6. I've set "miimode=1000" and I've tried "mode=" 0, 4 and 6. I've not been able to get better than 112MB/sec, which is the same as the non-bonded interfaces. My config files are: === cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-{eth1,eth2,bond0} # SN1 HWADDR=00:30:48:fd:26:71 DEVICE=eth1 BOOTPROTO=none MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes # SN2 HWADDR=00:1B:21:87:80:CE DEVICE=eth2 BOOTPROTO=none MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes # Bonded interfaces for Storage Network DEVICE=bond0 IPADDR=192.168.21.80 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=none USERCTL=no BONDING_OPTS="miimon=1000 mode=0" === I'm running benchmarks using iperf (.90 is the second machine with a matching bonded connection): === iperf -f M -c 192.168.21.90 ------------------------------------------------------------ Client connecting to 192.168.21.90, TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 0.02 MByte (default) ------------------------------------------------------------ [ 3] local 192.168.21.80 port 35728 connected with 192.168.21.90 port 5001 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth [ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 1086 MBytes 109 MBytes/sec === This is the speed a non-bonded interface: === iperf -f M -c 192.168.22.90 ------------------------------------------------------------ Client connecting to 192.168.22.90, TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 0.02 MByte (default) ------------------------------------------------------------ [ 3] local 192.168.22.80 port 57475 connected with 192.168.22.90 port 5001 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth [ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 1125 MBytes 112 MBytes/sec === The switch is a D-Link DGS-3100, which is a managed switch that I believe is capable of 801.3ad (for mode=4).
