Anyone Having Any Luck Downloaing the DVD ISO?
by Chuck 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

I've been trying for 2 weeks to download the dvd iso torrent... Shows a ton of seeders, few leechers, but very poor performance.. (I'm correctly setup for torrents and get fast downloads normally) Only like 4% downloaded and crawling. I've tried the trackers from every one of the mirror sites. I can't use the net install because the systems I am installing are on a closed network. Anyone have any ideas where else to get this or any suggestions? Thx, R

Wrapper package / yum repository
by Gabriel Tabares 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

Hi, I am setting up a yum repository for our applications and I am having a bit of trouble. I copy the files to a webserver, run createrepo and then configure the servers to use it. One of the RPMs is a "release" package that includes exact versions of all the binary and configuration files as dependencies so we can do "packaged releases" and, if we want to revert to a previous version, we can force it by installing this package (and the yum-downgrade plugin). The issue I am having is that RPM/yum seems to be unable to correctly resolve the dependencies: If I do "yum install adm-release" I get errors about lots of missing dependencies. EG: [root@host01 yum.repos.d]# yum install adm-release Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package adm-release.noarch 0:1-1 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: adm-app-conf-18-2010.09.01 for package: adm-release --> Processing Dependency: ant-1.8.1-1 for package: adm-release --> Processing Dependency: jdk-1.6.0_20-2.0 for package: adm-release .... --> Finished Dependency Resolution adm-release-1-1.noarch from myrepo has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: jdk-1.6.0_20-2.0 is needed by package adm-release-1-1.noarch (myrepo) adm-release-1-1.noarch from myrepo has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: adm-app-conf-18-2010.09.01 is needed by package adm-release-1-1.noarch (myrepo) adm-release-1-1.noarch from myrepo has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: ant-1.8.1-1 is needed by package adm-release-1-1.noarch (myrepo) adm-release-1-1.noarch from myrepo has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: geosweep-libquantis-0.1.0-1.1 is needed by package adm-release-1-1.noarch (myrepo) ....

I am quite baffled and would like to get this to work as soon as possible. Thanks Gabriel

memcached - epel vs. rpmforge?
by Les Mikesell 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

Does anyone know how the epel and rpmforge packages for memcached differ? I installed the rpmforge version some time ago before epel had it and now it looks like there are some conflicts in dependencies. Should it be transparent to the clients to switch to the epel package? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

Update to base release
by John Kennedy 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

Hello All, We have some machines running CentOS 4 Update 4 (4.4). We want to update these boxes to the stock CentOS 4 Update 8 (4.8). We have the 4.8 iso images. Is it possible to use up2date and have it use the 4.8 mounted iso images on a remote (install) server as the repository? The ISO's are accessible through http. These servers are remote with no CD/DVD option to upgrade that way. I have tried to Google this but can't seem to quite hit what I need. I found one that shows up2date-config GUI setup but I do not have X running on this server and do not want to screw up the config with the CLI version of it. We need to go to stock versions to match our production RHEL 4.8 machines. Thanks, John -- John Kennedy

Suggestion on Share folder
by Fajar Priyanto 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

Hi all, I need some advise on how best manage a share folder. We have a 2TB samba share. Inside there is individual user sub-folder, and also there are team's folders. We use one shared account for all users. The problem is: The user abuse the space usage. My thought: - Implement quota for each user. - But the implication is each user must have their own account and this potentially gives additional hassle when someone forgets the password. Anyone has similar experience? Much appreciated for the thoughts. Thank you.

trouble mounting NFS share in net install
by Tim Dunphy 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

I am trying to install the net install version of 5.5 from an NFS share that I setup with freenas. I have fully functioning DNS (hosted on freebsd) and can mount the iso share on another centos box with the command mount nas.mydomain.com:/mnt/iso1 /mnt/iso1 on that machine. The nas host in question is a freenas which I believe is NFS 4. I can / will verify if someone would care to respond to this thread. but when I go to do the same thing in the centos net install I get an error stating simply: "that directory cannot be mounted from the server". in the settings I have the following values: NFS server name: nas.example.com CentOS directory: /mnt/iso1 NFS mount options (optional): I have also tried it by ip just to be sure: NFS server name: 192.168.1.250 CentOS directory: /mnt/iso1 NFS mount options (optional): Does anyone have any suggestions that can help me get going? Thanks
