Is CentOS 3.5 built out of RHEL AS OR ES?
by Sivakumar Raju 28 Oct '05

28 Oct '05

Hello Gurus, 1. Do you have any idea whether CentOS 3.5 is built out of RHEL AS or RHEL ES? 2. Can a single process use more than 32 Gbytes of RAM in CentOS 3.5 ? Is there any limitation that you experienced? Thanks for your time. Siva.

CentOS and SANs
by Jack Bailey 28 Oct '05

28 Oct '05

Hello, I'm looking to build a CentOS server (or servers) with a SAN to support a large user base. Question: if you had a budget of $25K (or more if necessary), what you build? I'm interested mainly what hardware and software is best supported by the OS, but anything you have to say on the subject is welcome. Thanks, Jack

Minimal server install and a few other questions.....
by Bards1888 27 Oct '05

27 Oct '05

Hello, I was wondering what is the smallest install that anyone has managed with 4 (4.2 to be precise) ? I'm looking at a machine running as a VPN in a DMZ, so I'm going to remove/NOT INSTALL things like gcc, X, etc. I'm planning on putting this on a 1gb USB stick and booting from it. That reminds me, was there going to be a 1 CD server install image ? The other thing I noticed is that if I install on x86_64 I get around 400mb in /usr/lib *and* /usr/lib64, is this entirely necessary ? Especially if I dont want the 32bit stuff ? How can one tell which packages are responsible for the libs in /usr/lib/ ? I tried a random filem from that directory; [root@services lib]# rpm -q --whatprovides libOggFLAC.so.1 flac-1.1.0-7 [root@services lib]# rpm -qa | grep -i flac flac-1.1.0-7 [root@services lib]# rpm -qi flac-1.1.0-7 Name : flac Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 1.1.0 Vendor: CentOS Release : 7 Build Date: Tue 22 Feb 2005 10:56:45 EST Install Date: Wed 13 Apr 2005 11:50:50 EST Build Host: guru.build.karan.org Group : Applications/Multimedia Source RPM: flac-1.1.0-7.src.rpm Size : 707386 License: LGPL/GPL Signature : DSA/SHA1, Sun 27 Feb 2005 06:37:33 EST, Key ID a53d0bab443e1821 Packager : Karanbir Singh <kbsingh(a)centos.org> URL : http://flac.sourceforge.net/ Summary : An encoder/decoder for the Free Lossless Audio Codec. Description : FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. Grossly oversimplified, FLAC is similar to Ogg Vorbis, but lossless. The FLAC project consists of the stream format, reference encoders and decoders in library form, flac, a command-line program to encode and decode FLAC files, metaflac, a command-line metadata editor for FLAC files and input plugins for various music players (the xmms plugin is in a sub-package). I cant see an 'arch' in there anywhere, however on the Centos DVD I found flac for both i386 and x86_64. So why are there rpms for both archs with the x86_64 build ? Thanks in advance.

cache memory not being used
by Dave 27 Oct '05

27 Oct '05

Since I upgraded to 4.2 it looks like the cache memory doesn't go over about 70K or so. I have over 700K free and it started using swap, which doesn't normally happen for a few days or so. Any hints on what might be up? This is just after a compile and the cached is only 75k total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1032848 263992 768856 0 4612 75628 -/+ buffers/cache: 183752 849096 Swap: 1052248 18260 1033988 On a side note, anyone able to have Xorg running for more then 14 days? It consumes about 750megs after 14 days or so.

Opteron + Nvidia + Centos 4.2 i386 = Thud
by Jake Grimmett 27 Oct '05

27 Oct '05

Dear All, Just returned from vacation and was delighted to see that Centos 4.2 is now on the mirrors. Unfortunately the new i386 version is giving us problems on our dual Opteron workstations with Nvidia graphics cards... Basically, nine times out of ten, the boxes will hang when they try to re-load X... and just sit there with the keyboards Caps and Scroll lock LED's flashing. The only way out is the reset button. The working fixes I have so far found are to either use a non-smp kernel (2.6.9-22.EL) or to use the VESA X driver. Neither is a proper solution as the machines are used for 3D modeling. Non working fix attempts have included: passing acpi=off to the kernel trying Nvidia driver versions x86-1.0-7676, x86-1.0-7667 and x86-1.0-6629 Installing Centos from scratch as well as upgrading Centos 4.1 to 4.2 (via up2date) Trying three different Nvidia cards (Geforce 6800U, 5900 and a MX200) Trying two different motherboards (Tyan thunder K8W and Tiger K8W - both are AMD 8000 chipset based) Trying two different pairs of Opteron 240's and Opteron 246's. As things used to work more or less perfectly with i386 Centos 4.1 (2.6.9-11.ELsmp and the Nvidia 7667 driver) I'm starting to feel a little stupid - any chance that someone could put me out of my misery and suggest some solutions?
