More info on 3Ware 9550SX from the field (in case anyone else is interested)
by Chris Mauritz 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

From a buddy of mine that has spent a little time with the new cards. This was in response to my email asking about his impressions of them: It just came out in mid-September. There are a couple reasons I'm not thrilled with it: 1) no 8-port multilane version (only 12) 2) the 8-port non-multilane version is a kludge, connector-wise (a row of 3 double-stacked connectors along the edge, for 6 ports, and 2 double-stacked connectors in the middle of the board, of which the first connector in the stack is a dummy) 3) They are only on the first release of the software (9.3.0, the first- ship release, didn't work, and they released 9.3.0.1). At some point they will ship a unified release for the 9550 and 9500, but that's a ways off 4) no BBU support (yet).

We were waiting to roll in new code for the xfs file system from SGI, but that code is not yet ready. This release of the CENTOSPLUS kernel has the 2.6.9-22.0.1.EL code from upstream and is built like the previous CENTOSPLUS kernels with all the same items enabled. When the new SGI code for CENTOSPLUS becomes available, it will be released in an updated kernel. The following updated files have been uploaded and are currently syncing to the mirrors: i386: kernel-2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported.i586.rpm kernel-2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported.i686.rpm kernel-devel-2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported.i586.rpm kernel-devel-2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported.i686.rpm kernel-doc-2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported.noarch.rpm kernel-hugemem-2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported.i686.rpm kernel-hugemem-devel-2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported.i686.rpm kernel-smp-2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported.i586.rpm kernel-smp-2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported.i686.rpm kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported.i586.rpm kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported.i686.rpm src: kernel-2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported.src.rpm

CentOS + GFS + EtherDrive
by Bowie Bailey 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

I am considering building a pair of storage servers that will be using CentOS and GFS to share the storage from a Coraid (SATA+Raid) EtherDrive shelf. Has anyone else tried such a setup? Is GFS stable enough to use in a production environment? There is a build of GFS 6.1 at http://rpm.karan.org/el4/csgfs/. Has anyone used this? Is it stable? Will I run into any problems if I use CentOS 3.5 with it's GFS package to access a shared 5TB filesystem? I've been googling on this stuff off and on for a month now. I've found a bunch of conflicting and confusing information, but no clear answers. I've been kind of hoping that the new GFS 6.1 packages would be released while I was waiting... :) I appreciate any suggestions or pointers. Bowie

"qc-usb" kernel module src.rpm for CentOs 4.2 compile issues
by J.J.Garcia 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

Hi Ignacio, I'm running Centos 4.2 on some machines and just wonder which is the correct procedure to build one of your packages i've fonund in the fedora.ivazquez.net for FC4 but for CentOs for kernel-modules: http://fedora.ivazquez.net/yum/4/i386/SRPMS.ivazquez/kernel-module-qc-usb-0… http://fedora.ivazquez.net/yum/3/i386/SRPMS.ivazquez/kernel-module-qc-usb-0… I've tried unsuccesfully (following dag's Faq for rebuilding against the current kernel): # rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'kernel $(uname -r)' --target $(uname -m)\ kernel-module-qc-usb-0.6.3-0.iva.1.src.rpm TIA JJ

I am trying to compile gtik and it needs/wants this applet-widget.h (gtik is a gnome app) also gtik is supposed to be included in gnome. I think i found that as /usr/bin/gtik.applet however when running I get cannot find libpanel_applet. a yum provides libpanel_applet results in nothing.. I am stuck. Any pointers is appreciated.

vsftpd resource hogging on 4.2
by Chris Mauritz 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

I've just noticed an odd bit of behaviour with 4.2. I'm using FTP to send a number of large binary files from a windows 2000 machine to a CentOS 4.2 system. Both systems are similarly configured (Athlon64 3200+, 1gig RAM, 80gig system disk, 1.2TB scratch RAID 0 array, gigabit ether to a dumb switch on which they are the only hosts). On the very first file, about 17.5gigs, I got about 30MB/sec. Not spectacular, but reasonably fast. On subsequent files, I only get about 25% of that throughput and vsftpd on the CentOS machine is eating 99.9% of the cpu, which is probably what is killing performance. Both machines are reading or writing to a RAID 0 array of 4 reasonably fast drives so I'm assuming that's not the bottleneck. I've also disabled SElinux and iptables on the Linux machine since the machines are in a non-internet sandbox. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,

Legato Networker packs a sad (it handles sparse files, but it takes a *very* long time to do so). ;-) C ======================================================================= Attention: The information contained in this message and/or attachments from AgResearch Limited is intended only for the persons or entities to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

I resolved the problem with the PuTTY in XP. but what you mean running/accessible via firewall and system-config-securitylevel? in XP or CentOS? and what is this? can i use samba in centos? and how connect from XP? ----- Original Message ----- From: George Ginis To: ivazquez(a)ivazquez.net Cc: centos(a)centos.org Sent: Sunday, November 06, 2005 11:24 AM Subject: Hi Ignacio Hi Ignacio, apology for my English... my name is George Ginis... what you mean running/accessible via firewall and system-config-securitylevel? in XP or CentOS? and what is this? the PuTTY I have in XP or in CentOS? thank for your answer... By default CentOS doesn't have ftp, telnet, nor rlogin services running/accessible via firewall. Use an ssh client such as PuTTY. And don't forget to use system-config-securitylevel to open the ssh port.
