Centos as a file storage/backup destination (Advice)
by Roland Roland 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

Hello all, am considering setting up centos as a file storage/ backup destination for Mac's TimeMachine. all my users would get synced directly to specific folders on this machine.. needless to say space is of importance. where every user has an average 200 GB of data to b synced (entire system)... I have 27 users hence 27 *200 equals to almost 6 TB so I was considering getting either 4 * 1.5 TB or 6 * 1 TB to be used on one PIV with a 1 GB ethernet. but the thing is, I'm an expert with this! so I'm seeking your help.. is there any other way to do so ? is there any limitation hardware/centos wise for the amount of drives available on a system? is Motherboard available sata/ide slots is the only limitation? how about using a USB hub and plugging them as such? any advice is greatly appreciated thanks and excuse my newbie question. best, Roland

Nothing in iptables. Same config I have used for a long time. I regenerated my keys and all is well.

How Can I change CentOS CLI Screen Resolution to smaller text (without GUI)?
by Sam Acosta 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

Hi, I'd like to view the Screen resolution in smaller text on my server terminal. The server is not installed with any GUI so it's in plain text mode. Thanks.

kernel: target...SCSI
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

Folks, I've now got two systems that have been upgraded to 5.4, and that are sending out log entries like target2:0:0: FAST-80 WIDE SCSI 160.0 MB/s DT (12.5 ns, offset 62) with the only differences being the target. I see no errors per se in the logs. Googling shows posts with different offsets, and actual errors in the logs. Does anyone have any ideas why these systems are sending this out, and how I turn them *off*, if they're not errors? mark

Cluster server options?
by Scott Ehrlich 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

I have a 10 blade cluster of just hardware - I can install what I want, how I want. What options are there if I wanted to build the 10 blades as one large beast, but _NOT_ necessarily for someone doing grid-type work? Some users don't now how to program that way, but they'd like to have their program run on something that acts like a single processor, but a massive single processor with lots of memory. Some code is designed for a single, powerful workstation. I'd like this cluster to act as one powerful workstation. Thanks for insights. Scott

EL4 EPEL mirrors missing headers
by Ron Yorston 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

The EPEL mirrors for EL4 no longer have a headers directory, just repodata. This means that up2date has stopped working. Is this a problem with EPEL or with my system? Ron

GUID Partition Tables and Ext3 Partition Size
by Manish Kathuria 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

Hello, Does CentOS 5.4 support large ( > 2 TB) external storage devices using GPT (GUID Partition Tables), while the main OS resides on smaller hard disks using MBR. In this scenario, what can be the largest possible size of an ext3 partition (and filesystem) which can be created on the storage array under CentOS 5.4 ? Thanks, Manish

connection refused resolving - after 5.4 upgrade
by Rob Kampen 08 Nov '09

08 Nov '09

Hi all, prior to 5.4 upgrade, my two DNS servers would only get 'connection refused resolving .....' on rare infrequent occasions (once or twice a month) after upgrade to 5.4 I get 500+ per day. Google has suggestions for |logging category lame-servers null; ; ; |however this strikes me as severe overkill as it will mask genuine problems. Anyone else noticed this? Suggestions as to why or what is causing? Thanks Rob

Net-SNMP interfaces out of order
by Bob Puff＠NLE 08 Nov '09

08 Nov '09

Hello Centos People, I have a CentOS 5.3 box that had a total of 5 ethernet cards in it. It functions to share an internet connection with 4 different subnets. All works fine, except I'm noticing that my MRTG traffic graphs are wrong. Further digging with snmpwalk reveal that the order of the ethernet interfaces changes every time the machine is rebooted to a different order. For example, I currently see: IF-MIB::ifDescr.1 = STRING: lo IF-MIB::ifDescr.2 = STRING: eth3 IF-MIB::ifDescr.3 = STRING: eth4 IF-MIB::ifDescr.4 = STRING: eth0 IF-MIB::ifDescr.5 = STRING: eth1 IF-MIB::ifDescr.6 = STRING: eth2 IF-MIB::ifDescr.7 = STRING: sit0 Why is this not in proper order? Other servers seem to be ok. my snmpd.conf file has little, if anything as far as config. Is there something I need to put in there for persistence? Bob
