"upstream" Storage Server fully OSS?
by Ted Miller 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

Is the "upstream" Storage Server fully open source, or are parts of it closed source? Are the RPMs to build one already in the Centos repo? If not, are there any plans to offer them? I am looking for something free to use in Haiti, that will offer redundant file storage and automatic failover to a second set of hardware in case of a failure of the primary hardware. If RHSS is not available or suitable, other suggestions welcome. I need a file system/server with: * primary function is serving MP3 files for playback in a radio station environment in Haiti * if the system goes down all your clients (listeners) know it * they know it NOW * they know how long it takes to get it back up * High Availability as the primary concern * ability to administrate via web interface or similar by non-Linux-savvy IT staff. * ability to grow file system from 2-3TB to 20-50TB by simply adding disks and/or adding 'bricks' * clients will all be Windows computers, so files accessible by CIFS * critical application is read-only * prefer a system that would continue serving files even if the network goes down (but have not found such a system yet for Windows clients). This would require something like Ceph with a full (non-server) windows client, so the local node would continue to function until the network came back up. * throughput is not a large issue Ted Miller Elkhart, IN

How can I prevent apache from mounting all home directories?
by Alfred von Campe 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

We use automounted user home directories on our CentOS 6.3 desktops, and on the desktops on which we start apache, I have noticed that all 900+ home directories listed in NIS get (and stay!) mounted. If I don't start apache, this doesn't happen. We don't need access to home directories from apache, so I would like to prevent apache from mounting these home directories, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do it. We use the stock httpd.conf file, and I commented out the "LoadModule userdir_module" line to no avail. Any other suggestions? Alfred

SAMBA and Active Directory Intergration Problem
by Bonnie B Mtengwa 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

I have a CentOS6.3 SAMBA file server. All the users are on a Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Domain Controller and authentication is done using Winbind integration on SAMBA . Everything works well except that if someone logs on to the Samba Server, they see all the shared folders there and also a folder with their own name %USER%. This Folder is not accessible, one cannot enter into this folder, I have noticed that it's not being automatically created in the home folder : i.e /home/%USER%/ is not there. My smb.conf is as follows workgroup = Domain0 security = ads realm = Domain.com encrypt passwords = yes preferred master = no template shell = /bin/bash template homedir = /home/%D/%U winbind separator = $ ; template primary group = "Domain Users" winbind uid = 600-20000 winbind gid = 600-20000 winbind use default domain = yes winbind nested groups = yes winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes enhanced browsing = yes winbind offline logon = false password server = dc.domain.com [homes] create mask = 0775 directory mask = 0775 browseable = no comment = Home Directories valid users = %U writable = yes anyone who can help me on this?

From Fedora (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Staying_close_to_upstream_projects) In general, when Centos folks refer to upstream in general terms, they are talking about RedHat. It often seems to be used in order to avoid too much use of the Trademarked name that makes Centos possible. If someone is talking about a specific program (say apache or MySQL) and they refer to upstream, they are probably referring to the developers of that specific program. Ted Miller P.S.

Yum update without internet connection
by Steve Campbell 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

I usually use a "Desktop" option when installing a new machine. This gives me all I need for an X session and then I add other packages or grouplists on an as-needed basis. I'm putting together a couple of machines that will not have network connectivity until all packages are installed. Is there a way to run yum to install packages/groups from the installation disk instead of from one of the normal yum repositories? If so, is there a ever a problem with packages on the second disk of the 2 disk installation DVDs? Thanks, steve campbell
