Iptables hangs at shutdown
by Jason Dixon 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

Hi all- I have a Centos 3.6 server in production that hadn't been rebooted in quite some time. I was finally onsite today and took the chance to reboot into the most current kernel, but the box hung while "stopping iptables". Some Googling led me to one or two reports of systems hanging while the iptables initscript unloaded the modules. Has anyone else encountered this? I haven't seen anything in the archives to suggest this is a widespread (or even known) problem. Because this locks the system where I can't perform any other activities, it's near impossible to troubleshoot. Can anyone point to anything in the initscript that I might be able to disable as a workaround? Thanks, -- Jason Dixon DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net

We throw caution to the wind and run write-cache-enabled without a BBU, and still see a significant drop in performance compared to raid-1. >Right now I'm running Arkeia on it as the backup-to-disk, and in the >middle of the heaviest use I'm seeing about 50-60% I/O wait, horrible. >I'm hoping the write cache is going to help this a lot. (*) If you throw a sufficiently heavy (and multi-threaded) load at any disk array of this type, eventually you can drive a system to I/O-wait. On our systems, we look more at total disk throughput and characterization of workload (sequential vs. random access), rather than just I/O wait. Dave Let me know what you find.

IBM T42 Laptop
by Robert Spangler 07 Mar '06

Hi, I just bought the above named Laptop and was wondering if there is anything I need to watch out for besides not having 3D acceleration because they use ATI grafic cards? Maybe the built in wireless card might not work too. Other then that can anyone think of anything else? Thnx -- Regards Robert Smile... it increases your face value!

Hi, I wanted to install the newest version of xmule and xmule it was seeking for a libcrypto++, but I couldn't find any rpm which seemed to contain it in order to get a clean install on a CentOS 4.2 machine. Can you give me a hint? TIA! Regards - Michael -- Michael Kress, kress(a)hal.saar.de http://www.michael-kress.de / http://kress.net P E N G U I N S A R E C O O L

Yeah, we've also seen performance issues with raid5 on the 9500 series products. The benchmarks we run look good, but when we've put them into production file server environments, the performance has been disappointing. With 500GB disks now available for $4.95 down at the local Walgreen's, we've gone to raid 1 and are _very_ pleased with the performance. Although it's been discouraged on this list, we're using xfs and the unsupported CentOS kernels and haven't had any problems. We're anxiously waiting the 'new, improved' xfs drivers for CentOS :) :) Dave

sk98lin Gigabit Ethernet
by Josh Kelley 06 Mar '06

06 Mar '06

Is anyone using sk98lin Gigabit Ethernet adapters under CentOS 4.x? The version of the driver that ships with CentOS 4.x kernels was too old to support the onboard NICs on some Intel server boards that we recently got, so we installed a newer driver using DKMS. However, we're having problems finding a stable driver to use: the first version that we tried (7.09) gave a kernel panic when I ran ethtool, and the latest two versions (8.30 and 8.31) periodically lose network connectivity and give kernel errors similar to the following: KERNEL: assertion (flags & MSG_PEEK) failed at net/ipv4/tcp.c (1293) UDP: bad checksum. From 10.0.0.1:53 to 10.0.0.2:58409 ulen 118 UDP: short packet: From 10.0.0.20:138 191/20 to 10.0.0.255:138 I saw that skge is recommended as a replacement for sk98lin, so I tried recompiling a skge module based on the patch at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=167768, but it failed to recognize my card. (I may have compiled it incorrectly.) Can anyone recommend a version of the sk98lin driver that works reliably? Alternatively, can anyone recommend a good Gigabit NIC that's recognized by a stock CentOS 4.x kernel? Thanks. Josh Kelley

by lnthai2002＠aim.com 06 Mar '06

06 Mar '06

Hi, I have a Samsung printer(ML-2010) connect to my centos 4.2 machine by usb. I want to share this printer with 3 windowsXP mchines in my LAN. Although i have install driver for the printer on all machines, use samba to share the printer, from the windows machine i still have an error"access denied, can not connect to printer" or something similar. In Security Level, i have checked "trusted device: eth0, sit0" , is port 631 automatically open? How do i know that my problem is not caused by the blocked port? Hope anyone can help Thai ________________________________________________________________________ Check Out the new free AIM(R) Mail -- 2 GB of storage and industry-leading spam and email virus protection.
