hdparm strangeness
by Chris Mauritz 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

I've got a brand new .5U P4 system running several (I think) Seagate 80gig SATA drives. I tried to copy data from the first drive (sda) to the second drive (sdc) and was only getting about 1.7megs/sec. So I figured DMA was off. And this is what happened when I typed "hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc": /dev/hdc: setting using_dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted using_dma = 0 (off) Any suggestions? I've never had this type of problem before. Thanks,

Network card w/special module
by Eduardo Grosclaude 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

Hello, I have this cheap network card which insists on me compiling its own sundance.ko module every time I update my kernel release. I had the poor idea to leave nightly yum service enabled on this remote server, only to find my network was gone at the following reboot. Had to go there, figure out that kernel stuff is carefully avoided by up2date, but not so by yum service, and rebuild. Compiling and installing is just a matter of some simple commands, and in the meantime I have disabled yum service. But I was wondering if there is already some provision to automate building kernel version dependent modules, or whatever. Should I hook on yum? Thank you in advance! -- Eduardo Grosclaude Universidad Nacional del Comahue Neuquen, Argentina

/etc/exports file and any machine mount
by Jerry Geis 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

I used to have an exports file like the following on redhat 7.3... the would allow any machine to mount the /home/CentOS.iso directory. /var/spool/lpd (rw) /etc/silentm slave(ro,secure,no_all_squash,no_root_squash) /home/CentOS.iso (ro,secure,no_all_squash,no_root_squash) This does not seem to work on centos 4.2. I have to explicitly have a machine name like: /home/CentOS.iso machine(ro,secure,no_all_squash,no_root_squash) for it to mount. I have been looking at the nfs man page and dont see why this is not working still. How do I let any machine mount the /home/CentOS.iso directory. Thanks, Jerry

13 Mar '06

Hi All; I have a friend who is wanting to install an updated tcl/tk on a Raq 4 server and I am looking for an easy way to install it on that server.... I guess he needs the updated version on there.... Is there any pkg files out there? Ideas or recommendations other than replacing the server ???? Thanks Franklin S.

Lots of core files from 'gst-thumbnail'
by Bart Schaefer 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

I presently have 17 core.* files in my home directory, all dropped by 'gst-thumbnail'. GDB backtraces are predictably useless, indicating only that the crash came indirectly from libgsttypefindfunctions.so. I don't find anything about this in the CentOS bug tracker. Has anyone else seen a similar problem? Running "strings" on the core files finds that they all mention either file:///home/schaefer/.mozilla/schaefer/tq3v7zkg.slt/history.dat or file:///home/schaefer/.mozilla/firefox/xsml50fe.default/history.dat And indeed I was browsing those directories (doing some manual import of old mozilla data into my new firefox config) at the time stamped on all the core files. schaefer[513] rpm -qf =gst-thumbnail nautilus-media-0.8.1-3 schaefer[514] rpm -qf /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgsttypefindfunctions.so gstreamer-plugins-0.8.5-1.EL.0

Apache, fastcgi, ruby-on-rails etc.
by Michael Metz 12 Mar '06

12 Mar '06

Hi all, I've read a bit about fastcgi, and wondered if it might be an interesting solution for e.g. running php in a user-switched environment or running ruby-on-rails etc. But I wonder why nobody (searched on Google) seems to use CentOS with mod_fastcgi for Apache 2.x. And I also wonder why people actually using Apache 2.x and ruby-on-rails with CentOS did run a lighthttpd-fastcgi inbetween and reverse-proxying requests from Apache to lighthttpd to actually forward them to RoR running as fastcgi. Could sombody please give me a hint? Regards, Michael

Moving files to new server
by Thomas E Dukes 12 Mar '06

12 Mar '06

Hello, The new server is in and I am about to attempt the file transfers. I have NEVER attempted this and want to do it right the first time. Reading the man pages for cp and scp it looks as if the -a switches are different. Are they? I want/am going to transfer files/directories across the local network. Should I work from the new machine or the old? What files are machine dependent? In other words, what files, if any, should not be copied because of hardware differences? Sorry for all the seemingly stupid questions but as I said, I have never undertaken this before. TIA
