Lstat & Dovecot
by Dave J. Hornford 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

I am chasing a problem with dovecot generating an error: lstat(/var/spool/virtual_mailboxes/[domain dir]/[user dir]/Maildir/cur) failed: Permission denied I first tried making the directory world readable, same error. Them tried to lstat [the path] at the console and receive the error: lstat: command not found I have a manpage on lstat, but no file. "Yum provides" showed the manpages, but no rpm I could find What rpm is it in? (Or, have I started down a path that doesn't involve this application & Dovecot isn't clear) Thanks Dave

konsole failure to
by Gregory P. Ennis 05 Nov '06

05 Nov '06

Everyone, I am evaluating Centos to be for the purpose of using it as a server for a database. I doubt that I will use anything but run level 3, but am looking at the gui tonight. I am having difficult using konsole with the same scripts that I have used on FC4, FC5, and FC6 with success. I am executing this command from a Desktop link konsole --vt_sz 80x25 --profile smile with smile being a profile stored in the user's .kde subdirectory The above command had to be modified to include the path to pick up the profile called 'smile' konsole --vt_sz 80x25 --profile /home/admin/.kde/share/apps/konsole/profiles/smile However, although including the path allowed konsole to get to the profile called smile, a logon script named head in 'smile' was not executed. Args0=/bin/bash,-c,/usr/local/bin/head Args0=/bin/bash,-c,head Both of the above failed to execute 'head' but head could be executed from the command line and functioned as expected. Any ideas?

page allocation failure. order:0, mode:0x50
by Steve Bergman 04 Nov '06

04 Nov '06

Just because I've been pulling my hair out for over a month about this problem, I'd like to get it into the archives. When copying large files (multigigabyte) on a CentOS 4.4 4GB Xeon (running 32 bit) server (2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp), I was getting: page allocation failure. order:0, mode:0x50 (snip lines and lines of debug output) This was accompanied by a huge swapout storm that brought the system to a near standstill. Also, it could trigger OOM-Killer activity. Setting /proc/sys/vm/lower_zone_protection to 150 seems to prevent the problem. (It's not been long enough that I'm *certain* that it's fixed but it seems to be.) The upstream bug report is here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=149088 Hope this helps someone someday, because I had a heck of a time finding an answer. -Steve Bergman

Firefox Tab Cycle Plugin?

Hi folks, I thought I saw a comment on this list a ways back about a firefox plugin that would make a browser automatically cycle through the tabs it had loaded. We'd like to use this to load some monitoring systems in tabs, and then have the browser cycle through them so we have a poor-man's status display station. Does anyone know more specifics about this plugin I think I heard about?

04 Nov '06

I ordered and just received today a new Dell Inspiron 640m laptop (it also goes by the name E1405). Anyone tried installing CentOS on this laptop? It's the wireless drivers I'm most concerned about; it's got the Dell 1390 internal wireless card (not the Intel wireless). Anyone have some feedback, on the wireless or any other issues, on running CentOS on this laptop? Thanks Paul

CentOS 4.4 and other software?
by Scott Ehrlich 03 Nov '06

03 Nov '06

I just installed CentOS 4.4 on my laptop, having good experience with Debian, Fedora Core 5, and RHEL4. I really like 4.4's overall appearance (meshing of RHEL4 and FC5), but what I have yet to figure out is how to access repositories for applications that are not part of the default install, such as ncftp. I invoked and updated yum, but it had no idea. I would also like to see what all available kernel offerings are, and maybe various development tools (i.e. dependencies). Up2Date didn't seem much of a help, either. None of the above tools seemed to know anything about ncftp, and it has been around for at least 10 years, and is available for just about every distro, sometimes by default. Am I missing something with available packages? Thanks. Scott

In my case, I have about 3TB of data that needs to be backed up, and taken offsite. So, the only real option is rsync going out to disks. We started out with using one of the recipes from the Linux Server Hacks book, #38, #41 & #42 to essentially build up a poor man's SAN. Using CentOS installed on systems with 3Ware cards, I have 2 onsite 4 TB NAS. The first one is for network use, the second is for hourly, daily and weekly snapshots of the main NAS. There's a third 4TB NAS that's located offsite in a colo facility that's fed with dual T1s. We can have anywhere from 2-5 GB of data change every day. We're a company of about 50 employees, and we do legal work - so nothing can be thrown away. This system runs 7 days a week, and it's fully automated with email alerts, etc. The big benefit is restores. We've had our graphics dept accidently delete 250GB of data, and it was trivial to scp the missing data back to the main NAS. It all happened at network speeds, over a GB switch. All the NASes have dual NICS in them, and the second NICS are connected to their own private GB switch - hence the poor man's SAN. When hourly snapshots run, all the data that changes has a seperate GB network to move the data, leaving the office network alone. No user can tell that backups are happening throughout the day. Maybe this is something I should write up in more detail. The entire system runs on just a couple of shell scripts, rsync, and Perl program to mail out logs.... HTH Mark Mark

I had a chat with someone from RedHat at LinuxWorld Boston about this. Sounded like it was something they were hearing a lot, but hadn't figured out how to address. In my case, I'd like to be running sendmail 8.13.x so as to be more up-to-date on milter compatability, but didn't want to be dealing with having to build RPMs and play the dependency issue game from there. While it's true the next major release will incorporate the newer sendmail, the selling point of longer-term support is then nullified some. It's nice to stay on a relatively stable release and NOT have major upheavals in the entire platform so often, but it would be powerful to couple that stability with the ability to easily update key componentry in just one or two areas. That way, you could have something very stable for a platform base, plus the one newer component needed for a server's core function (web-related in the case of the poster here, email-related in my case). Hopefully in the future there will be a way to deal with this.

-all-static problems when linking apps which require -lpthread and -lc
by Alexey Loukianov 03 Nov '06

03 Nov '06

Hello all, I used to use fully statically linked PHP, which I build into RPM using own-written spec-file. I need to do this as there are a lot of boxes with old linuxes (RedHat 6.2, 7, 9) which I can't upgrade to CentOS3/4 right now for a several reasons I don't want to explain here. When I've been using CentOS 4.0 and 4.1 - there were no big problems to link PHP as static executable (i.e., when ldd says that "php not a dynamic executable"). All I have to do, is: LIBS="`pkg-config openssl --libs` `pkg-config --libs libxml-2.0` -lungif -lstdc++" \ LDFLAGS="-static -static-libgcc" \ CFLAGS="`pkg-config openssl --cflags` $RPM_OPT_FLAGS" \ ./configure ..... and LDFLAGS="-all-static -static-libgcc" \ CFLAGS="`pkg-config openssl --cflags` $RPM_OPT_FLAGS" \ make %{?_smp_mflags} It was sufficient to successfully compile totally static executable. After up2dating my compile box to CentOS 4.3 I receive following errors when trying to link PHP statically: ... ....(cuted a lot of lines and minor warnings).... .... /usr/lib/libpthread.a(lockfile.o)(.text+0x0): In function `flockfile': : multiple definition of `_IO_flockfile' /usr/lib/libc.a(flockfile.o)(.text+0x0): first defined here /usr/bin/ld: Warning: size of symbol `_IO_flockfile' changed from 30 in /usr/lib/libc.a(flockfile.o) to 18 in /usr/lib/libpthread.a(lockfile.o) /usr/lib/libpthread.a(lockfile.o)(.text+0x0): In function `flockfile': : multiple definition of `__flockfile' /usr/lib/libc.a(flockfile.o)(.text+0x0): first defined here /usr/bin/ld: Warning: size of symbol `__flockfile' changed from 30 in /usr/lib/libc.a(flockfile.o) to 18 in /usr/lib/libpthread.a(lockfile.o) /usr/lib/libpthread.a(lockfile.o)(.text+0x14): In function `funlockfile': : multiple definition of `_IO_funlockfile' /usr/lib/libc.a(funlockfile.o)(.text+0x0): first defined here /usr/bin/ld: Warning: size of symbol `_IO_funlockfile' changed from 30 in /usr/lib/libc.a(funlockfile.o) to 18 in /usr/lib/libpthread.a(lockfile.o) /usr/lib/libpthread.a(lockfile.o)(.text+0x14): In function `funlockfile': : multiple definition of `__funlockfile' /usr/lib/libc.a(funlockfile.o)(.text+0x0): first defined here /usr/bin/ld: Warning: size of symbol `__funlockfile' changed from 30 in /usr/lib/libc.a(funlockfile.o) to 18 in /usr/lib/libpthread.a(lockfile.o) /usr/lib/libkrb5.a(cc_file.o)(.text+0x1add): In function `krb5_fcc_generate_new': : warning: the use of `mktemp' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [sapi/cli/php] Ошибка 1 As you can see, the trouble is that there are same functions defined in main glibc lib and in libpthread: [root@cappa SPECS]# nm /usr/lib/libc.a --defined-only 2>/dev/null | grep flockfile flockfile.o: 00000000 W flockfile 00000000 T __flockfile 00000000 T _IO_flockfile [root@cappa SPECS]# nm /usr/lib/libpthread.a --defined-only 2>/dev/null | grep flockfile 00000000 W flockfile 00000000 T __flockfile 0000003c T __flockfilelist 00000000 T _IO_flockfile So, the question is: what the hell?! Are there any ways to successfully compile PHP statically on CentOS4.3 box? And why the hell are this functions defined in both libc and libpthread, making impossible to link any programme statically when using both glibc and nptl? Of course, I can downgrade my compile-box to CentOS 4.1 or 4.0, but that wouldn't be cool as I'll loose any bug-fixes made to general libs in 4.2, 4.3 and following. So I dislike it .

Apache 2.2X

03 Nov '06

Hello All. I am trying to set up a rails+mongrel+mod_proxy_balance application. Unfortunately the stock apache install on centos is the 2.0 series which does not support mod_proxy_balance. I could not find the 2.2X RPMs on dag or dries either. Is there a yummy way to upgrade to the 2.2 series of apache? I tried with the individual RMPS but no joy there due to comples web of dependencies.

I would second this suggestion. We use OpenVPN to control access to our management network and it works really well. We currently manage over 50 people with VPN keys and the list is growing. The only drawback is that there isn't a very good web based GUI to administer your keys. When you have a security team consisting of 10 people, it can be a bit of a pain relying on bash scripts for key generation/revocation. -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of Alex Palenschat Sent: Thursday, November 02, 2006 1:39 PM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: RE: [CentOS] mppe support in kernel-2.6.9-42.0.3.EL > > MPPE required, but kernel has no support. > > > > Can anyone help me with getting this module for the 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL > > kernel??? > > > MPPE can cause you much heartache (as I learned the hard way > at my last > job...).

Using perl-Net-SSH-Perl with pubkey authentication under CGI.
by Will McDonald 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

Guys, I wonder if anyone can give me any pointers here, I hope it's CentOS related enough not to be too off topic, if it is then apologies. I'm attempting to setup a CGI which can connect to a remote system and execute a command. On the 'client', for the Apache user 'apache' I've given it a shell and generated a key-pair. I've configured Keychain [ http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/keychain/ ] to load the keys for the apache user and make these persistently available via ssh-agent. I've setup a specific user 'cgissh' on the remote target system and configured its authorized_keys with apache@client's pubkey. >From the client system, running the following script from the shell returns the information I'd expect... [apache@webdev1 cgi-bin]$ cat perl-net-ssh-perl-test.pl #!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "<HEAD><TITLE>Quick Test</TITLE></HEAD>"; $ENV{HOME} = "/var/www"; $ENV{USER} = "apache"; use Net::SSH::Perl; $sshhost='target'; $sshuser='cgissh'; $sshport='22'; $sshprotocol='2'; $sshdebug='1'; $sshcipher='3des-cbc'; $sshconn = Net::SSH::Perl->new($sshhost, protocol=>$sshprotocol, port=>$sshport, debug=>$sshdebug, cipher=>$sshcipher); $sshconn->login($sshuser); my($out,$err) = $sshconn->cmd('hostname'); print "<HTML>"; print "<BODY>"; print $out; print "</HTML>"; print "</BODY>"; It's definately using the pubkey information from Keychain as the target system ONLY accepts key-based authentication and I'm "su - apache"d to run the script so it's not picking up another users ssh-agent key info from the environment. Attempting to execute the same script as a CGI by accessing http://client/cgi-bin/perl-net-ssh-perl-test.pl results in the following in the logs...

Trouble syncing Palm via USB
by Marc D. Field 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

Hi, I'm having trouble getting my Palm to sync with jpilot on my Centos system via USB. When I sync, I get this error in jpilot: pi_accept Illegal seek Exiting with status SYNC_ERROR_PI_ACCEPT Finished I have jpilot syncing fine with this Palm over the network, BTW. For USB, I set things up for udev as described on various websites. Here are the relevant ports & symlink (created and deleted automatically with each sync attempt): lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Oct 17 09:09 /dev/pilot -> ttyUSB1 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 188, 0 Oct 17 09:09 /dev/ttyUSB0 crw------- 1 marc uucp 188, 1 Oct 17 09:09 /dev/ttyUSB1 I added myself to the uucp group. It doesn't look like this is a permissions issue, does it? (I saw a message in the list's archives indicating that one must start jpilot as root in order to sync, but this doesn't make sense to me.) Any ideas as to what's going wrong? Are others syncing Palm devices to their Centos boxes via USB (and from normal user accounts)? I have tried other things, such as using a different USB port on the PC, and having jpilot sync to /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1 instead of the /dev/pilot symlink. I've also searched the jpilot mailing list archives, and the web in general, and still no solution. I'm running an up to date Centos 4 system, pilot-link-0.11.8-8, and self-compiled jpilot 0.99.9. Thanks for any help! Marc

SOLVED: Re: Using perl-Net-SSH-Perl with pubkey authentication under CGI.

On 02/11/06, Will McDonald <wmcdonald(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Guys, I wonder if anyone can give me any pointers here, I hope it's > CentOS related enough not to be too off topic, if it is then > apologies. Thanks to Marc and Ingimar for their suggestions, I think we've cracked it. When Keychain runs it prompts the user for their private key password then stores the ssh-agent information away in ~/.keychain/$hostname-sh and ~/.keychain/$hostname-csh. For example... [root@webdev1 ~]# cat ~apache/.keychain/`hostname`-sh SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-yheGAI4188/agent.4188; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK; SSH_AGENT_PID=4189; export SSH_AGENT_PID; Ingimar suggested these environment variables might not be available to the CGI environment and he was spot on. It appears Agent.pm from Net::SSH::Perl looks for these in the environment and can find them when scripts are run from the shell because they're there (duh me :)). So, setup a password protected keypair and run Keychain from .bash_profile as follows... [root@webdev1 ~]# cat ~apache/.bash_profile keychain --nogui id_dsa --clear [[ -f $HOME/.keychain/$HOSTNAME-sh ]] && source $HOME/.keychain/$HOSTNAME-sh [[ -f $HOME/.keychain/$HOSTNAME-sh-gpg ]] && source $HOME/.keychain/$HOSTNAME-sh-gpg The '--clear' will remove all Keychain information on login (though not perfectly, it could be circumvented with a well-timed CTRL-C) but, critically, leave it available for non-interactive sessions if you login, enter private key passphrase then logout. You'll initially need to "su - apache" once if the box reboots and you need to enter the private key password if you need to 'su' to do anything else as the user, otherwise the ssh-agent information is available to scripts running as that user. For bash, as mentioned I'd just import it with [[ -f $HOME/.keychain/$HOSTNAME-sh ]] && source $HOME/.keychain/$HOSTNAME-sh For the Perl script I needed to add: $ENV{SSH_AGENT_PID}="4189"; $ENV{SSH_AUTH_SOCK}="/tmp/ssh-yheGAI4188/agent.4188"; Obviously, I'll read those in properly from ~/.keychain/$hostname-sh in the final script but as proof of concept... :) Will.

Jim and all, I've installed VMWare Server on CentOS 4.2, but I couldn't get the rpm to work properly for some reason. When I installed via tar.gz file, ran the scripts, things just worked. My HW is a dual Intel, 2GB RAM and all SCSI. It's pretty old, so I don't really remember the details... HTH Mark

Has anyone succeeded in getting lm_sensors to produce useful output for intel D945-based motherboards? According to the lm_sensors site, I need a newer kernel (2.6.16) to read the ICH7 data. I noticed the i2c patches in the kernel source rpm, but no joy. I'd be okay with building my own modules, but haven't found anyone to provide the kernel module source apart from the kernel tree. Am I outta luck here? Thanks in advance. Dave Thompson UW-Madison

CentOS 4.3 on Intel Xeon Core 2 Duo
by Marc Saric 01 Nov '06

01 Nov '06

Dear list, I am planning to buy a new server -because the new Core2 Duo based Xeons (5100 series) are considerably faster in some scenarios than Opteron machines while not beeing more expensive, I would like to hear some real-world experiences from people who have installed CentOS 4.3 or 4.4 on such a setup. Specifically: CPU: 2x Intel Xeon 5100 2GHz Board: Intel S5000 chipset RAID5: 3ware 9550SXU-4LP I have some experience with the 3ware Adapter (new kernel module needed on install) but now nothing about compatibility, extra drivers or other problems related to the relatively new Xeon/S5000 platform and CentOS 4.3/RHEL 4.3. Thanks for any feedback. -- Bye, Marc Saric

glibc free error rebuilding iproute-2.6.9-3.EL4.3.centos4.src.rpm

I'm getting a strange error while rebuilding iproute-2.6.9-3.EL4.3.centos4.src.rpm ... rpmbuild --rebuild iproute-2.6.9-3.EL4.3.centos4.src.rpm ... ./normal >normal.dist *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (normal): 0x08491050 *** /bin/sh: line 1: 5236 Aborted ./normal >normal.dist make[1]: *** [normal.dist] Error 134 ... + install -m 644 tc/normal.dist tc/pareto.dist tc/paretonormal.dist /data/tmp/cd654c/rpm/tmp/iproute-2.6.9-root/usr/lib/tc install: cannot stat `tc/pareto.dist': No such file or directory install: cannot stat `tc/paretonormal.dist': No such file or directory error: Bad exit status from /data/tmp/cd654c/rpm/tmp/rpm-tmp.36741 (%install) ... etc. Any ideas as to what might be causing this heap corruption?

Running two sshd's
by Gilles CHAUVIN 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

Hi all, I'm wondering whether it is feasible or not to run two distinct sshd daemons with different config options! I have a CentOS 4.4 gateway with 2 Ethernet interfaces. One is connected to the Internet and the other to the LAN. Basically, what I would like to do is having a sshd that listens to the LAN interface with password enabled auth. and a sshd bound to the Internet interface with forced key auth. (no password auth. allowed). I'm not sure that such a thing is possible using a single sshd_config file. What do you think would be the best way to do this? Is there someone here that already made a similar setup? Thanks for any help / ideas. Regards, Gilles.

mysql won't start
by David Mackintosh 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

OK so at some point I borked my mysql 4.1.20 installation on my x86_64 system. Possibly relevant: I have enabled the centosplus repository in yum.conf because I needed a package from there. I have not upgraded mysql from there. Everything was working, then "something" aparrently happened, and now mysql won't start. The logs say: 061031 11:37:38 mysqld started 061031 11:37:38 [ERROR] Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: Permission denied 061031 11:37:38 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock ? 061031 11:37:38 [ERROR] Aborting 061031 11:37:38 [Note] /usr/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown complete Now the naive would presume that there is a permissions problem on /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock, right? Certainly the web suggests that this is the problem. [root@urquell2 ~]# ls -ld /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /var/lib/mysql ls: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock: No such file or directory drwxrwxr-x 4 mysql mysql 4096 Oct 31 11:39 /var/lib/mysql Or maybe I'm trying to run mysql as the wrong user? [root@urquell2 ~]# cat /etc/my.cnf [mysqld] datadir=/var/lib/mysql socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock # Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x # clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package). old_passwords=1 [mysql.server] user=mysql basedir=/var/lib [mysqld_safe] err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid ...so clearly mysql is trying to tell me something but can't use the right words to describe the problem. In the highly unlikely event that someone knows what mysql is trying to say, can they tell me how I might fix this problem? But more likely I would like to reinstall the RPMs since something is broke, right? Well that isn't so simple either. [root@urquell2 ~]# rpm -e mysql error: "mysql" specifies multiple packages [root@urquell2 ~]# rpm -qa | grep mysql-4 mysql-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1 mysql-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1 [root@urquell2 ~]# rpm -e mysql-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1 error: "mysql-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1" specifies multiple packages We are not even getting to the dependancy hell this will involve. So how do I fix this problem? I'd rather not pave the system and start from scratch, but honestly if I'd done that the moment that this problem manifested, I'd probably be up and running again by now. -- /\oo/\ / /()\ \ David Mackintosh | Public Key: dave(a)xdroop.com | http://www.xdroop.com/dave/gpg.html $ gpg --recv-keys --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net 4C032504 Mystery attachment? http://wiki.xdroop.com/space/GPG

I've built multi-terabyte systems around CentOS, and I'm in the process of writing up the "Poor Man's SAN" in my copious free time! ;) You don't mention what kind of RAID card you're using, but I stick with 3Ware. In a nutshell, all you need to do is a minimal install of CentOS from the first CD. Yum update everything. After this point, you can config Samba for your Windows clients, or NFS for other *nixes as needed. Could probably do AFS as well for Macs, but I haven't done that before. You'll have to wait until I get my howto done to configure hourly snapshots, etc.... HTH Mark

Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 - WORKING
by Tom Lichti 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

I've found a few questions about trying to get this to work, I managed to do it, and thought I'd share: - get the evdev driver here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=1745 - to install, run ./configure --prefix=/usr/X11R6, then make, make install. - edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf like this: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "evdev" Option "Protocol" "evdev" Option "Dev Name" "Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 1.00" Option "Dev Phys" "usb-*/input0" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2" Option "Buttons" "9" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" # wheel moves forward/back in the browser EndSection To figure out the "Dev Name", "Dev Phys" and "Device" settings cat /proc/bus/input/devices. I haven't gotten the tilt wheel to work yet, but everything else is good. You may want to swap buttons 2 and 3 as well using xmodmap. HTH Tom

Spamassassin/Sendmail issues
by Tom Elsesser 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

I am running a server with Centos 4.4, using a combo of sendmail-clamav-spamassassin for mail, which has been working quite well up until last night. Around 3:00am, all mail going to all users was being rejected by spamassassin. My ~/mail/.procmailrc is as follows: ======================== MAILDIR=$HOME/mail # :0 H * ^X-Spam-Status:.*Yes { EXITCODE=67 :0: /dev/null } ========================= Checking yum logs, nothing that would affect SA or sendmail was updated, so I have no idea why everything would suddenly go bananas. Clamav was updated, but that was at 5:00am, and the mails were getting bounced back starting at 3:00. I am attaching 2 maillog snips showing mail from the centos list, with one going thru as expected and the other getting bounced back per my .procmailrc file. Any help appreciated. -- TomE.

The elephant in the room: Oracle
by Tarun Reddy 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

So what does everyone else think of Oracle's announcement? http:// developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/10/25/2316221 I kind of think that they are going to be hurting RedHat (a valuable partner if you believe their deployment numbers). Oh silly, silly Larry. I guess the only hope that we have is that it actually increases mind share of RHEL and hence broader support for it (and subsequently CentOS). Tarun

Installing on Hardware RAID - Adaptec 7890/7860
by Matt Arnilo S. Baluyos (Mailing Lists) 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

Hello everyone, I'm trying to install the CentOS 4.4 Server CD on old hardware. The hardware is a Dell PowerEdge 2300 with Adaptec 7890 and 7860 controllers. It's the first time I've done a Linux install with hardware RAID. However, I'm having trouble getting CentOS (as well as Fedora Core 6) to detect the SCSI hard drives. When it comes to the part where you choose where to install Linux, it just doesn't detect the hard drives. It shows on the hardware configuration when the system boots up and when I try to install Windows 2003 Server, the drives are detected - so I don't think it's a hardware issue. Now, the question is - do I have to initialize something on the installation process? What do I do so that I can install CentOS with this specific configuration. Best regards, Matt -- Stand before it and there is no beginning. Follow it and there is no end. Stay with the ancient Tao, Move with the present.

Dual Opteron or Dual Xeon?
by Mike Kercher 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

I am about to lease another server to be a backup web/mail server with a replicated mysql database. The current live server is a dual Xeon 2.8Ghz. Would I do better to get another Xeon server or an Opteron based server? My concerns are compatibility of the database and the SSL certificate currently running on the Xeon machine. Are these concerns unfounded? TIA Mike
