Interrupting Yum Update
by Lee Perez 01 Nov '09

01 Nov '09

Hi All, Quick question, I just finished googling and found the thread that is dealing with the rpmdup_remover.sh script, and thanks to everyone that was involved in this. I followed the following threads: http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/centos@centos.org/11086209.html http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=17… Which lead me to the following link and the script: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=10139&forum=27&p… I started an update at about 5pm on the 30th and here it is 2:30 in the morning on the 31st. I want to kill this update and start over. I usually get around 155 KB/s now I'm getting 455 B/s. I do believe it is the mirror that I am connected to. I just want to make sure that by using the above mentioned script that I am going the right way. Just looking for a little reassurance before I do it. If I don't I don't think this thing will finish until sometime next week :-) and that is a bit long. Thanks!! Lee Perez

5.4 kernel versions?
by Rob Kampen 01 Nov '09

01 Nov '09

Please excuse a possibly dumb question. Prior to the release of CentOS 5.4 I believe two updated 5.4 kernels were released as part of 5.3 2.6.18-164.el5 and 2.6.18-164.2.1.el5 Now that 5.4 is released we have just the 2.6.18-164.el5 kernel. Now the dumb question - what happened to the updated kernel? I now have workstations running 5.4 with the 164.2.1.el5 as they get yum update run regularly, however I do not reboot my servers as often and now find these do not have the later kernel. If some kind soul would please enlighten me..... Rob

how to set default proxy?
by Eugeneapolinary Ju 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

hi I know that I could use ssh tunneling: ssh -fND localhost:6000 SOMEBODY(a)192.168.56.5 -p PORTNUMBER to surf the web through another machines internet connection -> I just need to set Firefox to use proxy 6000. But: How can I set that on the client side, to e.g.: ping through the machine with openssh-server? Not just setting Firefox to use port 6000. Is there any method for setting the default proxy in Linux, so that if I use wget, I will download through the ssh tunnel? Thank you

authorized_keys command=""
by happymaster23 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

Hello, as I have read manual, if I use in file authorized_keys option command="" with some command, no other commands will be permitted. I have tried it, created authorized_keys2 for root and added there command="rdiff-backup --server" and after that tried to login. Thit command was executed, but I was normally able to supply other comand as root. Can you tell me why? Thank you Martin

Centos 5.4 kernels for NFS4
by Gerhard Schneider 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

Do CentOS 5.4 users still have to use the RedHat preliminary kernels (http://people.redhat.com/jlayton/) for getting a NFSv4 safe kernel or have the patches been incorporated into CentosPlus kernels? Or is kernel-2.6.18-164.3.1.el5 somewhere in the queue? Thanks in advance!

HP Proliant ML G6 problem.
by Rafał Radecki 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

Hi all. I try to install CentOS 4 x64 on HP Proliant ML G6. Anaconda doesn't correctly recognise the DVD-RW drive despite the fact that the installation starts from it. Also when I choose network (HTTP/FTP) installation type the ethernet card isn't correctly recognized. On HP website there aren't any drivers to use during installation only rpms and source rpms which (as I think) are useless at install time and can be used only when the system is installed. I also tried CentOS 5 x64 and there are no problems with my hardware then, the installation is ok. DVD-RW is: HP Super Multi DVD Rewriter GH40L E2C NIC is: HP NC107i Integrated PCI Express Gigabit Server Adapter What should I do? Where to start from to solve the problem? With regards, R.

Driver compilation howto.
by Rafał Radecki 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

Hi all. I currently have to add some drivers during the installation process for CentOS 4.4 (I mus use this release). As I've heard I need first to compile the drivers under the same kernel which will be used during install time. What should I do then? Could anyone provide a link to an appropriate howto? With regards, R.

crontab won't work
by Niki Kovacs 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

Hi, I have a strange problem here. I have two servers, one dedicated webserver, and a local backup server. On the webserver I have this : [root@12569hpv163154:~] # crontab -l 00 22 * * * /usr/local/bin/sauvegarde-pmbccps.sh This launches a backup script every day at 22:00, and it works as expected. Now here's what I have on the local backup server : [root@grossebertha:~] # crontab -l 24 17 * * * /usr/local/bin/sauvegarde.sh Here, the script /usr/local/bin/sauvegarde.sh basically launches an incremental backup with rsync over SSH. The script is executable OK, it works very well when launched by hand on the command line... except cron won't start it. Here for example I tried to launch it on 17:24. Nothing. I checked the machine 'date', it's OK. Now I don't have the slightest clue why this doesn't work. What's the magic word here ? Cheers, Niki

RAID 10 on Install?
by ML 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

Hi All, How can I RAID 10 on install? (the names myRAID1 and myRAID2 are just for example purposes) I select a custom layout.... /dev/sda, sdb, sdc, sdd are listed... I create a partition of Software RAID on each of sda, sdb, sdc, sdd Create a swap partition on sda? Click RAID and take sda and sdc and RAID 1 to myRAID1 Click RAID and take sdb and sdd and RAID 1 to myRAID2 Click RAID and take myRAID1 and myRAID2 and RAID0 to MYRAID This leads me down to swap. If I create swap on sda, then dont sdb, sdc, sdd then all have unused space of the size of swap on sda? What is the rule of thumb for Swap these days. Back a long time ago it was double the RAM in the machine.....but that was a long time ago, what is best now? Thanks for the chat! -Jason
