Grub, pata, and sata
by David G. Mackay 24 Nov '10

24 Nov '10

I've just filed bug 0004634. Grub won't install onto my pata drive now that I have a sata drive installed. This is grub 0.97 on CentOS5.5. Has anyone else encountered this? I'm guessing that I can always install Fedora on hda, which should give me a working grub, but I was hoping for something a little less involved. Thanks, Dave Mackay

best way to start and shutdown programs in CentOS?
by Kill Script 24 Nov '10

24 Nov '10

I have a Java program that I want to start up with every boot, but I'm unsure how to do it. There are two bootup scripts that start manually (script1.sh and script2.sh), and when the server gets shutdown, we have another script that we run (shutdownscript.sh) so that the DB does not get corrupted.

CentOS 5.5: what do /etc/sysconfig/networking and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts exactly ?
by giggzounet 24 Nov '10

24 Nov '10

Hi, on our cluster we have 5 network interfaces. I was surprised to discover that the ifcfd-* files under /etc/sysconfig/networking and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts were not the same. So I have searched a little bit, but I'm now confused: - the files under /etc/sysconfig/networking come from system-config-network. - the files under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts are read by the /etc/init.d/network script and used to set up the network interfaces. - I don't find where the files under /etc/sysconfig/networking are used. - Does system-config-network modify the file under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts too ? Is there someone who can enlightenment me ? Thx in advance, Best regards, Guillaume

DNS update system-config-network GUI
by Lanny Marcus 24 Nov '10

24 Nov '10

Box is fully updated CentOS 5.5 (32 bit). DHCP is from the ADSL modem 192.168.1.1. After I update the DNS settings and restart the network, the DNS changes do not hold. I have tried using this GUI, as a regular user, after giving the root password, and, also, logged in as the root user. When I begin, the Primary DNS is shown as 192.168.1.1 the IP of the ADSL modem. I move that IP to the Tertiary DNS and insert the Primary and Secondary DNS IP's I want to use. Then, I save the file, quit, and restart the network (service network restart). I see messages that the file has been saved and suggesting that I restart the network or the box. The DNS I want to use is that of OpenDNS.com and I saw it work, briefly.Then,it stops working and when I launch the system-config-network GUI again, I see it has reverted to the original configuration, with only the Primary DNS of 192.168.1.1 (the ADSL modem) shown. Questions: The "DNS Search Path" is blank. Is there something I should insert there? If it appears that I am using the system-config-network GUI properly, what configuration file can I modify, to make these DNS changes hold permanently? TIA! Lanny http://www.magazines-magazine.com/

slow network throughput, how to improve?
by Rudi Ahlers 24 Nov '10

24 Nov '10

would like some input on this one please. Two CentOS 5.5 XEN servers, with 1GB NIC's, connected to a 1GB switch transfer files to each other at about 30MB/s between each other. Both servers have the following setup: CentOS 5.5 x64 XEN 1GB NIC's 7200rpm SATA HDD's The hardware configuration can't change, I need to use these servers as they are. They are both used in production with a few xen domU's virtual machines running on them. I want to connect them both to a SAN, with gigabit connectivity and would like to know how I can increase network performance a bit, as is. The upstream datacentre only supplies 100MB network connection, so in the internet side of it isn't much of a problem. If I do manage to reach 100MB that will be my limit in any case. root@zaxen02.securehosting.co.za:/vm/xen/template/centos-5-x64-cpanel root@zaxen02.securehosting.co.za:/ root(a)zaxen02.securehosting.co.za's password: centos-5-x64-cpanel.tar.gz 100% 1163MB 29.1MB/s 00:40 iperf indicates that the network throughput is about 930MB though: root@zaxen01:[~]$ iperf -s ------------------------------------------------------------ Server listening on TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 85.3 KByte (default) ------------------------------------------------------------ [ 4] local 196.34.x.x port 5001 connected with 196.34.x.x port 45453 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth [ 4] 0.0-10.0 sec 1.09 GBytes 935 Mbits/sec root@zaxen02:[~]$ iperf -c zaxen01 ------------------------------------------------------------ Client connecting to zaxen01, TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 16.0 KByte (default) ------------------------------------------------------------ [ 3] local 196.34.x.x port 45453 connected with 196.34.x.x port 5001 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth [ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 1.09 GBytes 936 Mbits/sec Is iperf really that accurate, or reliable in this instance, since the packet size is so small that it probably goes straight to memory, instead of HDD? But at the same time, changing the packet size to 10MB, 100MB and 1000MB respectively doesn't seem to degrade performance much either: root@zaxen02:[~]$ iperf -w 10M -c zaxen01 ------------------------------------------------------------ Client connecting to zaxen01, TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 256 KByte (WARNING: requested 10.0 MByte) ------------------------------------------------------------ [ 3] local 196.34.x.x port 36756 connected with 196.34.x.x port 5001 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth [ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 1.07 GBytes 921 Mbits/sec root@zaxen02:[~]$ iperf -w 100M -c zaxen01 ------------------------------------------------------------ Client connecting to zaxen01, TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 256 KByte (WARNING: requested 100 MByte) ------------------------------------------------------------ [ 3] local 196.34.x.x port 36757 connected with 196.34.x.x9 port 5001 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth [ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 1.08 GBytes 927 Mbits/sec root@zaxen02:[~]$ iperf -w 1000M -c zaxen01 ------------------------------------------------------------ Client connecting to zaxen01, TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 256 KByte (WARNING: requested 1000 MByte) ------------------------------------------------------------ [ 3] local 196.34.x.x port 36758 connected with 196.34.x.x port 5001 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth [ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 1.04 GBytes 895 Mbits/sec -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

Router for SOHO network - hardware considerations
by Niki Kovacs 24 Nov '10

24 Nov '10

Hi, Last week I finished installing a small network in a private school : one server (an old IBM X225), seventeen desktops (Fujitsu Siemens PIV 2.4 GHZ, 512 MB RAM, 40 GB HD), all running CentOS 5.5. One extra machine is acting as a router, in that it is installed between the DSL modem and the network, with two Ethernet cards, and it's taking care of DHCP, DNS, NTP and also acts like a proxy (with Squid). It seems quite big and noisy and electricity-consuming to me, so I wonder if there is any small device that could possibly do the job as good, but which would me more adapted : small, solid and cheap (if possible). I imagine some tiny box just with a CPU and a small harddisk, a little RAM and two network interfaces (one out, one in), where I could install a very stripped-down CentOS, and then just forget about it. So far, I've googled a bit, and I've found two things: 1) Pyramid Soekris boards, where I can put something like Pyramid Linux on it. And 2) The Linksys WRT54GL, for which there are Linux firmwares like OpenWRT and DD-WRT. Is there anything you could especially recommend for this job? (I'm not afraid of getting my hands dirty, BTW :oD) Cheers, Niki
