Re: [CentOS] Bring up Networking in Single User Mode

I believe he's onto something there...routable addresses would be 172.16.254.81 thru 172.16.254.94 on 28 bits...and there's that pesky rule about having your gateway on the same subnet as the node. :) ------Original Message------ From: Eduardo Grosclaude Sender: centos-bounces(a)centos.org To: CentOS mailing list ReplyTo: CentOS mailing list Subject: Re: [CentOS] Bring up Networking in Single User Mode Sent: Oct 7, 2009 1:35 PM On Wed, Oct 7, 2009 at 3:28 PM, ML <mailinglists(a)mailnewsrss.com> wrote: > Nate, > >> ifconfig ethX IP_ADDRESS netmask NETMASK >> route add default gw IP_OF_GATEWAY > > OK, so I was correct, > > I am doing > > ifconfig eth0 172.16.254.80 netmask 255.255.255.240 > route add default gw 172.16.254.1 > > I am getting Network is unreachable. That's correct. Write down 80, 1 and 240 in binary. With a /28 mask, your IP address and your gateway are in different subnets. -- Eduardo Grosclaude Universidad Nacional del Comahue Neuquen, Argentina _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

DNS Serving - Why my own?

HI All, Can anyone explain why I might want to run my own DNS Server in-house? I have a comcast business circuit and use their DNS servers and when I need entries, I use GoDaddy where I buy my domains. Best, -ML

Failing Hard Disk?

Hi All, I am fairly certain that this disk is failing in my server, and I am replacing it straight away anyway. However, I'd appreciate the views of the list just to be sure as I value your opinion(s). I got these errors, once only so far, in /var/log/messages. This disk has / on it.

Disc layout advice
by Joseph L. Casale 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

I have a DAS w/ 6 750Gb and 6 1Tb discs I am setting up using Linux raid. The controller is a POS so each disc is exported as an R0 single volume. I used a parted and fdisk script to create 1 max size partition labeled as Linux Raid Autodetect and created the first r6 array w/ mdadm. I normally create and mark partitions as raid or lvm so people know what's going on. The first md array is obviously too large for fdisk and parted doesn't create lvm partitions does it? Should I just pvcreate the raw /dev/md0 and not worry about creating an lvm partition on it, or should/(can?) I? Thanks! jlc

Back before the inexpensive routers, and before the fairly easy to find specialty loads. The thing that got me away from it was it was my only Linux system at the time, and a botched update ended up with me having an unbootable system. And an emergency trip to Staples to buy the distribution they had there. A couple days without a protected home network, and I decided to eventually go with a dedicated box. Things would be different if I wanted to get fancier than what these standalone systems provided. But right now, I don't need the extra capability.

CentOS-5.3 Inactive device reports error - bugzilla:465442
by James B. Byrne 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

I am seeing this in the syslog when starting a multi-homed CentOS-5.3 host. Oct 6 08:35:04 inet04 nm-system-settings: initial_add_devices_of_type: could not get device from HAL: An SELinux policy prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager" member "FindDeviceByCapability" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal") (9). Which appears to be this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465442 However, I cannot tell from the bug description and commentary what is actually going on. What does this message mean and how is the situation reported rectified? I speculate that this error is somehow related to the fact that eth1 is not activated on boot by intent, but I cannot tell for sure. If anyone has the explanation of what is happening, what it means, and how this is fixed I would appreciate learning it. Regards, -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

trying to understand OSS, GPL, BSD & other licensing model for software distribution.
by Rudi Ahlers 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

Hi all, We are busy developing some software (some is web based, others not) and I am having a bit of hard time understanding (or rather, choosing) a license model to work with, We will offer some free software (PHP based scripts, and even Windows based applications) and for this I'm sure the GPL, or even LGPL (for the network side?) will work fine. But, we also need to suppose these scripts, and will be charging for support (other for installations, customization, or even custom derivations, etc), but at the same time we need to distribute some commercial software to cover developer's salaries, rents, marketing, business growth, etc. Now, my question(s) is as follows: Can I sell one script as GPL, but another as AGPL, or even BSD under the same company name? And if these 2 are tied together (i.e. being able to be used together, although seperate programs / script - for example Apache + PHP), how would I license them? We are writing a series of PHP + MySQL based scripts which can be used on the internet, either stand-alone, or in conjunction with other scripts (API driven), and I want to offer a free, limited edition, as well as commercial edition with more features. We're also writing some software that makes use of MySQL / sqlite / postgresql, and even MSSQL, so I need to take their licenses into consideration. What would be the best license for this? I know it's broad, but there's just too much to readup on the different licences and I've read a lot already, not knowing where to go. I have a feeling that I may need to go the dual / multi-license route, but even then I don't know which licences to use. The open source projects wouls also be open for other people to add their own modifications, but I would also like to allow others to write commercial addon's as well. Any pointers, and even past-experiences? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Hosting Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

problem installing centos 5.3 on IBM x3200 m2
by Janez Kosmrlj 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

Hi, I am trying to install centos 5.3 on ibm x3200 m2 server. The problem appears when the installer is about to finish the installation. It detects the RAID correctly, but it doesn't finish formatting the root partition. I tried the default partition layout and also a custom one, but it always ends with the same message: An error occurred trying to format /. this problem is serious and the install cannot continue. I also checked the error console (ctrl+alt+F4) and it writes: <3> sd 0:1:10:0: rejecting I/O to offline device lspci says that the machin has an: LSI Logic SAS1064ET PCI-Express SCSI controller Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5722 Ethernet Has anybody an idea, how to fix this?
