CentOs 6 DHCP Server and virtual interface
by Grzegorz Sołtys 10 Feb '13

10 Feb '13

Hello All I have looking for any specific answer for one thing. I have a virtualized Server with only one physical interface eth0 (WAN). To run OpenVPN i need to use DHCP server. And here is the question: is there a chance to run DHCP server on eth0:0 interface? Or it is impossible ? Thanks in advance. -- /Best Regards *Greg*/ UML Professional (Cert #251574932)

Is this right? -- Centos 6 and RHEL 6 infrastrure for continuous update/upgrade
by Gelen James 10 Feb '13

10 Feb '13

Hi all, Both RHEL 6 and CentOS 6 can be installed from any minor releases DVDs: 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, etc. And then got continuous upgrade/update with command 'yum -y upgrade' if repos are setup correct. But the repos infrastructure is different between the two. CentOS uses two repos: ..../centos/6/os/... repo and .../centos/6/updates/... The updates/ repo contains ONLY updated RPMs between minor releases. currently the updates/ contains updates after 6.3. and the /centos/6/os/ points to 6.3Base. Question #1: supposed I installed with Centos 6.2 last year, and let's say Centos 6.4 comes out two months later and I have not updated a single package since initial installation until Centos 6.4 comes out (I am way too lazy :) ), then How can I setup my yum config to not miss any updated packages? Should I put all three repos inside yum config? centos-6.2-kickstart-os centos-6-os centos-6-updates or the centos-6.2-kickstart-os is not needed at all -- the centos-6-os and cnetos-6-updates together contains all latest RPMS since 6.0 -- ? The first way may render yum to report warning of 'duplicate RPM group definitions' or similar. Questions #2: I've heard that RHEL 6 uses a different path, they seems to have only one big continuously updated base os/ repository. all the RPMs updated since 6.0 (include RPMs at the published day of RHEL 6.0) are contained in the repo. So only the one repo is in need to upgrade systems at any time. Is this true? and if so, any benefits go with it? Thanks. --Robinson

Hello All, CentOS release 6.3 (Final) I am getting e-mails now where they are: Subject: Cron <root@www> /usr/share/spamassassin/sa-update.cron 2>&1 | tee -a /var/log/sa-update.log Body: http: GET http://daryl.dostech.ca/sa-update/asf/1387055.tar.gz request failed: 404 Not Found: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>404 Not Found</title> </head><body> <h1>Not Found</h1> <p>The requested URL /sa-update/asf/1387055.tar.gz was not found on this server.</p> <hr> <address>Apache/2.2.6 (Fedora) Server at daryl.dostech.ca Port 80</address> </body></html> Can anyone help me understand what is happening here?

Performance issue
by Carlos Henrique Reimer 09 Feb '13

09 Feb '13

Hi, I suspect a CPU bottleneck in one of our PostgreSQL servers but not sure how to confirm the suspect. It's a DELL Box running CentOS 5.4 with 64GB RAM and 16 XEON E7430 2.13 GHz processors. vmstat r column "run queue" usually indicates values higher than 2 and less than 5 but "Load Average" values from top, sar -q and other commands show always values less than 1. Should not these values be higher than 16 on a box with 16 processors to confirm a CPU constraint? Thank you in advance! -- Reimer 47-3347-1724 47-9183-0547 msn: carlos.reimer(a)opendb.com.br

Is CentOS-6.3-x86_64-netinstall.iso broken?
by George R Goffe 09 Feb '13

09 Feb '13

Hi, I'm probably doing something wrong or misunderstanding how this is supposed to work. I have written this ".iso" image to a DVD and booted from it. I then selected the first install option from the menu. I get some prompts and then I'm asked to specify where the media is. I assumed (there's that word) that I should just hit enter, thereby selecting the "from DVD" option. I got a message about not being able to find the install materials? Is this what the install process is looking for? Shouldn't it be looking in the network? Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, George...

rpmbuild for different architecture [OT?]
by Steve 09 Feb '13

09 Feb '13

As far as I can tell, the rpm-list went defunct circa 2008 so I'm asking here. No doubt someone will let me know if this is not OK. I'm trying to build an RPM on a CentOS VM targeted to run on an ARM architecture machine. I have a test program, prime, that I cross compiled on my VM and when I copy it onto my target machine it runs correctly. Now I want to package it in an RPM. On my target machine, I run $ uname -m armv71 so on the VM I wrote my spec file and ran $ rpmbuild -ba --target armv71 prime.spec ... processing files: prime-1.0-1.armv71 unknown, 0: Warning using regular magic file '/etc/magic' Requires(rpmlib): rpmlib(payloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 ... Wrote /home/steve/rpmbuild/RPMS/armv71/prime-1.0-1.armv71.rpm ... So it seems that some parts of rpm realize that I've cross compiled and some parts don't. Any ideas on how to get rid of these warning messages? I tried putting 'Autoreq: 0' in the spec file but that didn't help. A second problem is that when I go to install the rpm on the target machine, I get an error saying that the architecture doesn't match. I had to use --ignorarch to get it to install. What does rpm use to determine what the architecture is if not uname? With the --ignorearch option, the RPM installs and the program runs as expected. Thanks, Steve

Hello, We all know linux distros will use most of the free memory available for caching stuff, I/O buffers etc (hence sites like linuxatemyram.com) In many virt scenarios we have some sort of memory deduplication mechanisms, such as KSM on KVM (don't know how it's called in Vmware). My situation is one where I need to cram up as many virtual machines as I can on a single hypervisor and I believe KSM does not work for the memory used as cache/buffers. How could I work around this? Any other pointers for achieving higher density welcome (don't suggest container technology please). -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology!
