Re: [Centos] why developers got stuck with huge ISP bill
by Matt Shields 17 Nov '04

Hi Everyone, I'm new here. I just caught this thread and checked my yum.conf. It does indeed point to the main mirror. May I suggest that the default yum.conf file contain a links to some of the public mirrors, or none at all instead of the main mirror. That way, it doesn't point to the main mirror, which would be reserved for public mirrors. Then in the Docs show an example yum.conf that shows what is acceptable. Another suggestion would be to put a few public mirrors in the yum.conf file and comment them out. Then put in a comment saying "Here are a few public mirrors, but you can get mirrors closer to you by looking at http://www.centos.org/download/mirrors" Matt Shields > On Sat, 6 Nov 2004 15:34:53 -0800 (PST), Rick Graves > <gravesricharde(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > > Lance, > > > > Let's go at this from another angle. > > > > > I am absolutely certain having analysed the logs > > > that the excess bandwidth was caused by people > > > downloading .iso images for centos from our > > > master mirror(s) .... > > > > How could this happen? > > > > Here is my explanation: > > > > 1) As far as I am aware, the cAos site does NOT ask > > distro users to download from public mirrors, rather > > than from the master mirror. > > > > 2) On install, yum.conf points to the master mirror. > > > > 3) Even if a distro user puts in a custom yum.conf > > file that points to a public mirror, "yum update" can > > remove the custom yum.conf file, and put in its place > > a yum.conf that points to the master mirror. > > > > 4) From 2 & 3, I got the impression that it is OK, > > even encouraged, to download directly from the master > > mirror.

RHEL 4 AS - Beta 2 Rebuild Project
by Johnny Hughes 16 Nov '04

16 Nov '04

I have finally finished the initial rebuild of RHEL AS 4 - Beta 2 {it took 48 Hours :)}... several packages didn't build. ---------------------------------------------- compat-gcc-296-2.96-130.7.2 comps-3.95AS-0.20041027 (expected ... will be replaced anyway) dhcp-3.0.1-11 (caused by a problem in gcc ... fixed in gcc-3.4.3-2) elfutils-0.96-1 gnome-spell-1.0.5-6 iptraf-2.7.0-11 (bug in the glibc header files, fixed in glibc-2.3.3-74) Kernel - (expected ... will fix later) lilo-21.4.4-26 memprof-0.5.1-5 openoffice.org-1.1.2-10 (requires compat-gcc >= 8-3.3.4.1 and compat-gcc-c++ >= 8-3.3.4.1) setools-1.4.1-5 Xaw3d-1.5-23 -------------------------------------------- I'm doing this for knowledge and fun (I know, weird sense of FUN) ... not to replace any of the current rebuild projects. Rather than posting everything to the mailing list and making lots of update posts (where many people might not be interested), I have put lots of info in my forum. If you are interested in RHEL 4 and rebuilding it, come, read, and participate :)... we can all have fun! http://www.hughesjr.com/component/option,com_forum/Itemid,65/page,viewforum…

Re: Centos3 x86 updates
by Rick Graves 14 Nov '04

Hey, As was announced recently by Seth, updates are coming. > These updates should be finding their way to your > local mirror shortly. However, now that we are monitoring the mirrors, we know that some mirrors are behind. For the latest on your favorite mirror near you, you might want to check out the mirror montitoring page, http://www.advanced-app.com.hk/caosity/ I expect a link to this page will be added to the cAos web site shortly, but it is not on there yet. So in the meantime, you might want to add the link to your bookmarks. Rick

Re: [Centos] most stable sata raid cards for centos
by C.M. Connelly 12 Nov '04

12 Nov '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm running an array with an Adaptec 2410SA card (two-port SATA). It seems to run fine under CentOS, but I'm not booting from it (I have a separate SCSI drive that has the OS installed on it; the array is used for backups). I have lost the contents of the array once when one of the drives failed (that was under Red Hat Linux 9, with the Adaptec driver package). I haven't been able to get the current Adaptec driver package to install under CentOS, but as the card seems to work fine without it, I haven't tried very hard. I had some issues with the SATA cables included with the Adaptec card and ended up replacing them with cables that seems to seat better and wobble less. One card I would definitely *not* recommend is Adaptec's AAR-1210SA card, a two-port SATA card with a Silicon Image chipset. After having lots of problems under RHL 9, I managed to get it working with a Debian system with a custom 2.6 kernel. Definitely not worth the money. Both of these arrays were meant as quickie solutions to relatively unimportant problems. If I were to do them again, or do a more serious project, I would definitely go with the 3Ware cards over the Adaptec cards. I also had a very bad experience with a Promise external RAID enclosure that has put me off Promise for life. (Actually, I would seriously consider adding disk space via one or more of Apple's Xserve RAID subsystems, as well.) YMMV.

SNMP problems
by Peter Farrow 11 Nov '04

11 Nov '04

Dear All, I don't know if this is the right list for this type of question and I am sure I will be told if its not.... I am using Centos 3.3, with a 2.4.20-30.9 kernel on an Amd Opteron box. I am using this kernel because it has matching freeswan modules. I am also using the following net-snmp packages: net-snmp-5.0.9-2.30E.6 net-snmp-devel-5.0.9-2.30E.6 net-snmp-utils-5.0.9-2.30E.6 I find that the values returned for the ethernet traffic (this machine has six ethernet ports) via snmp are bogus and the same for in and out octets, bearing no resembence to the actually network traffic. I have Yummed to the latest of everything, but still no joy, its still wrong, If anyone knows of this problem please could you put me out of my misery.... :-) In the mean time I have written a perl script to grep the rx/tx bytes printed by ifconfig and sent these to mrtg for now, but this is not ideal..... Regards Pete
