centos deployment community project
by Kay Williams 07 Aug '12

07 Aug '12

Hello, Wanted to let folks know about a community project focused on centos/rhel deployment. The project is called CentOS Studio. The idea is to provide a general platform for assembling and testing rpm package repositories containing existing rpms, user-provided content and, optionally, anaconda installation images. The repositories can be used with yum, as usual, or to install complete systems from boot images, over the network, etc. A stable beta release of the CentOS Studio product is available at www.centosstudio.org. Hope this may be useful to some. Kay

ATI X1800 XT driver for CentOS 5
by Dick Holland 07 Aug '12

07 Aug '12

Does anyone have direct experience of setting up an ATI X1800 XT under CentOS 5? I have seen horror stories on the web about buggy drivers. What is the best source (and version) for drivers? Any advice would be much appreciated. -- Dick Holland

Ever come across a switch that "someone else" has set up LAGs on but nobody can remember (or admit) why? ) Throw arpwatch on the bonded-NICs server and see how the bonded interface flips between the slave MACs as intended - cal

display problem running under vmware
by Steve 07 Aug '12

07 Aug '12

I'm running an up-to-date CentOS 6 virtual machine in a VMWare player on a Windows box and I cannot set the display resolution to anything higher than 1280x720. Windows shows the screen resolution on this monitor to be 1920x1080. I do have VMWareTools installed although I'm not certain it is installed correctly. How can I tell? It is version 8.8.4-743747. I'm not sure if this is a CentOS issue or a VMWare issue but I thought I'd start here. My Xorg.0.log shows this: [ 43.093] (II) LoadModule: "vmware" [ 43.095] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vmware_drv.so [ 43.102] (II) Module vmware: vendor="X.Org Foundation" [ 43.102] compiled for 1.10.4, module version = 11.0.3 [ 43.102] Module class: X.Org Video Driver [ 43.102] ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 10.0 [ 43.102] (II) LoadModule: "vmwgfx" [ 43.132] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module vmwgfx [ 43.132] (II) UnloadModule: "vmwgfx" [ 43.132] (II) Unloading vmwgfx [ 43.132] (EE) Failed to load module "vmwgfx" (module does not exist, 0) [ 43.133] (EE) vmware: Please ignore the above warnings about not being able to to load module/driver vmwgfx [ 43.133] (II) vmware: Using vmwlegacy driver everything is fine.

Re: [CentOS] Configure LAGG Interface?
by Cal Sawyer 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

In my experience, LAG/LACP won't provide aggregatation, only failover and fault tolerance. For link aggregation, you don't need to configure the switch ports - just set bonding to mode=6 for balanced transmit/receive and plug up the the NICs to a group of ports on the switch. However, balance-alb doesn't help with single stream rsync/FTP sessions, etc, but helps a lot with concurrent transmits/receives as encountered in typical fileserver scenarios. - c On 06/08/12 17:00, centos-request(a)centos.org wrote: > Message: 30 > Date: Mon, 06 Aug 2012 13:56:41 +0100 > From: Giles Coochey <giles(a)coochey.net> > Subject: Re: [CentOS] Configure LAGG Interface? > To: centos(a)centos.org > Message-ID: <501FBF09.5080206(a)coochey.net> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > On 02/08/2012 02:00, Tim Nelson wrote: >> > ----- Original Message ----- >>> >> On 01.08.2012 21:17, Tim Nelson wrote: >>>> >>> Greetings- I'd like to configure multiple copper NICs on a server >>>> >>> running CentOS 6.2 in a LAGG configuration for better throughput to >>>> >>> the core switch.
