slugishness

Hi all, I have a 3G AM2 quad core CPU... x86_64 centos 5.3 When I am doing backing up to my external USB drive my system becomes sluggish. Clicking on a thunderbird compose takes some time to pop up the window. Typeing doesnt keep up etc... Is there something I can change so this backup doesnt slow my system down so much? I dont see HOW it can be taking so much CPU. top at times shows 0 idle or 11% idle from a USB backup. Thanks for any suggestions. Jerry

Is it possible in vim to do the following: Search for this block of data: # Catalog Service 2.0 for uat03 <LocationMatch "^/Services/?"> PathPrepend /inquiryservices Cluster 172.21.1.1:999 </LocationMatch> And change Cluster 172.21.1.1:9999 to Cluster 172.21.1.2:7000 It needs to have uat03 (or 02, 01) on the line and this line 'PathPrepend /inquiryservices' for the Cluster to be changed.

How do I troubleshoot these restarts? I suspected hardware failure (power supply, cooling fans, etc.) but somehow the restarts happen way too periodically, so I have second thoughts on software as well. CentOS 5.3, fully updated. Btw, I don't have physical access to the machine until September, so diagnosing hardware is pretty limited atm. Only remote ssh available. I would really appreciate any advice on this!

modern motherboard for centos-5
by fred smith 15 Jul '09

15 Jul '09

I'm considering upgrading, and am trying to choose a modern motherboard that nevertheless fully works with Centos5/RHEL5. Though I'm partial to AMD processors, and would like to use one in my new configuration, that's not a requirement, if the most appropriate board happens to be intel-compatible. However, given the way ASUS is dumping LInux and crawling more firmly into bed with the Beast, I'd prefer to avoid ASUS boards. I see that NewEgg has some combo deals at reasonable prices, but I can't tell which chipsets/boards are known to work with centos5 and which aren't. Just at random, here's one of their offerings, a Biostar board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138143 I've always understood Biostar boards to be cheap, not only in price, but perhaps they're serviceable? I'm open to other suggestions, too.

Custom udev rules to override defaults?
by James Pearson 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

I'm trying to work out how to set up a custom udev rule to override permissions on serial ports (/dev/ttyS* and /dev/ttyUSB*) on CentOS 5.3 The default rule, in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules has the line: KERNEL=="tty[A-Z]*", NAME="%k", GROUP="uucp", MODE="0660" and I would like the mode to be 0666 Various docs on web say that you shouldn't change 50-udev.rules, but instead create a new rule file that appears lexically before that rule - so I've created a file that contains the line: KERNEL=="tty[A-Z]*", NAME="%k", GROUP="uucp", MODE="0666" called 10-local.rules However, this doesn't work ... the /dev/ttyS* device files get the 'default' owner/group/perms (mode = '0600', uid = '0', gid = '0') If I rename the 10-local.rules to say 99-local.rules, then the device files get the owner/group/perms from 50-udev.rules (mode = '0660', uid = '0', gid = '14') I can get the mode set to 0666 by editing 50-udev.rules, however this seems wrong as you should be able to override the defaults without doing this. Anyone know if this is possible? Thanks James Pearson

Iptables issues again
by Bo Lynch 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

Question about optimal filesystem with many small files.
by oooooooooooo ooooooooooooo 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

Hi, I have a program that writes lots of files to a directory tree (around 15 Million fo files), and a node can have up to 400000 files (and I don't have any way to split this ammount in smaller ones). As the number of files grows, my application gets slower and slower (the app is works something like a cache for another app and I can't redesign the way it distributes files into disk due to the other app requirements). The filesystem I use is ext3 with teh following options enabled: Filesystem features: has_journal resize_inode dir_index filetype needs_recovery sparse_super large_file Is there any way to improve performance in ext3? Would you suggest another FS for this situation (this is a prodution server, so I need a stable one) ? Thanks in advance (and please excuse my bad english). _________________________________________________________________ Connect to the next generation of MSN Messenger http://imagine-msn.com/messenger/launch80/default.aspx?locale=en-us&source=…

raid 1 disks upgrade
by Coert Waagmeester 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

Hello all, I have a machine with 2 SATA 250GB disks which I want to upgrade to 1TB SATAs This is the partition structure on both disks: Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 25 200781 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda2 26 1971 15631245 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda3 1972 30401 228363975 fd Linux raid autodetect there are 3x RAID1 arrays. First is for /boot Second if for swap Third is for LVM (contains / and other filesystems) What is the easiest way to get this upgraded? I thought that I could maybe dd all the LVM volumes and /boot into files, setup the new RAID1 arrays on the 1TB disks, and dd everything back? or is there an easier way? Regards, Coert

sFTP (client) RPM for CentOS 5.3 (32 bit) and/or putty-tools
by Lanny Marcus 13 Jul '09

I installed gFTP but apparently it does not handle the sFTP protocol. I also installed the FireFTP Add On for the Firefox browser, but when I tried to connect to the server, it says that I need putty-tools. I have the rpmforge and epel repositories configured but yum did not find putty-tools. Is there an RPM for a client program for gFTP or putty-tools? If so, in which repository?

Cluster Related Question
by jeff＠bofus.org 12 Jul '09

12 Jul '09

I am not sure this is the proper forum for this question, feel free to redirect me if you like to the correct place. I have the following setup: vmware esxi 2 CentOS 5.3 servers (vmware virtual hosts) these 2 servers are running conga(luci, ricci) and the rest of the cluster suite with a simple IP address setup to failover for testing. My problem comes in when I need to setup fencing for the vmware servers. I have downloaded the fence_vmware_ng agent, and can manually fence using it on the command line. How can I add this agent to the conga or even the system-config-cluster interface for use in the agent list dropdown? If I add the fencing configuration to the cluster.conf manually, conga does not see it, and system-config-cluster refuses to load the configuration file, and says it is invalid... Thanks in advance for any help! -- *#-------------------------------* *Jeffery P.

Update Issue
by Ron Blizzard 11 Jul '09

11 Jul '09

I come to you "hat in hand" again. For the first time in a long while I got a "Update Notification" at the bottom of my screen -- so I decided to click on it and run the update. Unfortunately I got a couple dependency errors and am not sure how to solve them. (Not even sure why I got them.) They are as follows: Missing Dependency: libavcodec.so.51 is needed by package transcode-1.0.5-1.el5.rf.i386 (installed) Missing Dependency: libx264.so.55 is needed by package transcode-1.0.5-1.el5.rf.i386 (installed) The only non-CentOS repositories I have enabled are Adobe and RPMForge. (I have, however, downloaded files individually from PBone.) This is the first time I have had any problems for a while. Have I broken something? (I did find libavcodec.so.51 at PBone, but it won't install because it wants the libx264.so.55, which I haven't been able to find.) Is transcode what I use to convert CDs to MP3 files? I did recently add MP3 codecs to Juicer, so I could convert my CD collection. And I did try to update via yum after running 'yum clean all' and I got the same dependency issues. Thanks for any pointers. -- RonB -- Using CentOS 5.3

Regarding LARGE number of files in a folder in linux
by Bob Hoffman 10 Jul '09

10 Jul '09

This goes out to you admins who manage servers with a heavy load of information. I would like to know what you do about the number of files in a folder, or if that is a concern. I think there is a limitation or a slow down if it gets to big, but what is optimal (if necessary) Example- running a website that allows a user to upload some photos (small ones). You get lets say 300,000 users each uploading 10 photos. That's 3 million files. Storing that in one folder would seem like it would cause an issue when using that folder, is that right? If it does, what do you do about that? How do you handle things? If you have 300,000 clients you could give them their own folder each and then the folders would have only 10 photos, but one folder would contain 300,000 folders. SO what is best for file management and system resources? -Thanks Bob

LDAP/Autofs instructions are conflicting in Centos5.3
by Eric B. 10 Jul '09

10 Jul '09

Hi, I'm not sure if I am posting this in the right place, so if this belongs more on another list, please let me know. I am trying to get Autofs configured to use LDAP on CentOS5.3, but am running into an inconsitency. On CentOS5.3, the openldap server is installed with an extra schema/redhat/autofs.schema file. From what I can tell, that schema file seems to follow RFC2307bis. In the schema, it uses cn and ou. However, in all docs I can find for RHEL5, everything indicates that I should be using automountMapName and automountKey as the Map attribute and the Entry Attribute. I am very confused. Which is the "right" one to use? If I follow the RHEL docs and tell autofs to use MAP_ATTRIBUTE as automountMapName, then I can't use the schema that is distributed with CentOS5.3. Should I be using the schema that is distributed with the CentOS openLdap package, or is there another one that I should be using instead? Thanks, Eric

Looking for recommendations for blocking hacking attempts
by Neil Aggarwal 09 Jul '09

09 Jul '09

Hello: I have been looking into projects that will automatically restrict hacking attempts on my servers running CentOS 5. I think the two top contenders are: DenyHosts - http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net Fail2ban - http://www.fail2ban.org >From what I see, DenyHosts only blocks based on failed SSH attempts whereas Fail2ban blocks failed attempts for other access as well. The main benefit I see from DenyHosts is their synchronization service where my servers can proactively block hosts recognized by other users of their service. Does anyone have experience with these tools and have recommendations?

yum-3.2.8 for Centos 4 backport, part II.
by David Hrbáč 09 Jul '09

Hi, I have again worked on yum 3.2.8 for Centos 4 today, after a long time. The result is backported package yum-3.2.8-9.el4.hrb.2.1.5 which is the upgrade of yum-3.2.8-9.el4.hrb.2.1.3 I've been using smoothly for quite a long time. Packages are in testing repos: http://fs12.vsb.cz/hrb33/el4/hrb/testing/i386/repodata/ http://fs12.vsb.cz/hrb33/el4/hrb/testing/x86_64/repodata/ I'd like to ask for QA tests. This patched version passes all the internal yum tests (aka 'make test'). Regards, David Hrbáč

Add instantly active local user accounts *with* password using useradd -p option ?
by Niki Kovacs 09 Jul '09

09 Jul '09

Hi, I need to setup a load of user accounts on a series of machines, for testing purposes. I'm using a script to do this, but the only problem I have so far: I have to activate them all manually by doing passwd user1, passwd user2, passwd user3, etcetera. The useradd man page mentions a -p option to define a password, but I can't seem to get this to work. Here's what I'd like to be able to do: # useradd -c "Gaston Lagaffe" -p abc123 -m glagaffe And put that line in a script, so the account is *instantly* activated. I tried it, but to no avail. Looks like there's some burning loop I have to jump through first :o) No security considerations here for the moment, since it's for testing. Any idea how this works? Niki

Hi, What's the correct way to disble TSO (TCP Segmentation Offload) in RHEL5? I have tried adding those options in ifcfg-ethX configuration file: # grep ETHTOOL /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 ETHTOOL_OPTS="tso off" And also with: ETHTOOL_OPTS="-K eth0 tso off" But when restating the server TSO is enabled: # ethtool -k eth0 tcp segmentation offload: on As a temporary solution, I'm executing this command in a start script: /sbin/ethtool -K eth0 tso off But I think it can be configured in network configuration files, any idea to solve this? thanks!!

Getting started with NFS
by Niki Kovacs 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

Hi, I've never been using NFS before, but I'm going to need it. I gathered some documentation (Deployment Guide, RHEL 5 Unleashed, general NFS docs) and I have a few machines to experiment with. After about two hours of reading and experimenting, I must admit the documentation is confusing, to say the least. Although some step-by-step tutorials are provided, none of them work. For example, the RHEL deployment guide mentions NFSv2, NFSv3 and NFSv4... but as much as I poke around, I don't even find a way to checkout which one of the version I'm running. So... 1) Can you suggest some reliable and well-written (think: newbie-friendly) documentation about NFS? 2) Usually I start out from a minimal install on desktop as well as servers. Which packages are needed on the servers side, and on the client side, in order for NFS to work correctly? None of the docs mentioned above says a word about it. Thanks, Niki

md0 mounted rw on boot
by David.Mackintosh＠xdroop.com 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

Hi folks, I updates one of my long-running CentOS 4.x systems today, and afterwards it wouldn't boot properly. My issue was that it would start, then announce: Checking root filesystem /dev/md0 is mounted. e2fsck cannot continue. After much twiddling around, I discovered that if I booted from the first kernel I had, it would boot properly. Now this is a hand-rolled RAID, not an anaconda-generated one. And I seem to recall generating an initrd myself in order for the boot process to work. Does this mean that I have to generate a new initrd every time I want to boot to a new kernel? For the record, this kernel failed: title CentOS (2.6.9-78.0.22.EL) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-78.0.22.EL ro quiet root=/dev/md0 initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.9-78.0.22.EL.img ...while this one succeeded: title CentOS-4 i386 (2.6.9-34.EL) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-34.EL ro root=/dev/md0 initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.9-34.EL.img And there are several other kernels on the system, but I honestly don't know which ones have been run successfully. Does anyone know what I did wrong? -- /\oo/\ / /()\ \ David Mackintosh | dave(a)xdroop.com | http://www.xdroop.com

When I added the EPEL Repository, the number of excluded packages went from approximately 400 to 1705. My belief is that if EPEL had a high priority, it would replace a *LOT* of packages I do not want replaced. << Generally, you're right - but in this case, it seems to be purely an rpmforge problem. I'm getting similar problems with a mail gateway which has a lot of Perl modules to support amavisd/clamav/spamassassin: "There was a problem updating the system. The following error message was reported: "Failed to build transaction: Missing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Zlib) >= 2.020 is needed by package perl-IO-Compress-2.020-1.el5.rf.noarch (rpmforge)" Checking svn at rpmforge shows: Name: perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib Version: 2.020 Release: 1 so it's in the repo. I assumed it was a problem with the mirror I was using (ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de) so I excluded in it fastestmirror.conf and tried again, this time using fr2.rpmfind.net, but no joy: Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Zlib) >= 2.020 is needed by package perl-IO-Compress-2.020-1.el5.rf.noarch (rpmforge) At this point, I'm not going to worry too much about it - it's in the system and should eventually turn up. If not, I guess I'll have to find some time to help out at rpmforge, rebuilding those Perl modules. . . Best, --- Les Bell [http://www.lesbell.com.au] Tel: +61 2 9451 1144

Is the current kernel not supported any more? The ones not commented still work. I did not seem to notice this until migrating settings from a 5 machine not 5.1 but "5". I hate to ask such a dumb question but there seems to be no info from Up The Road Either. Error: sysctl -w "vm.min-readahead=256" error: "vm.min-readahead" is an unknown key Further more nothing is related in here[1] due to kernel parameter related changes.
