5.5 install
by Thomas Dukes 19 May '10

19 May '10

Just installed from scratch 5.5 Weird, eth0 is now eth1 and eth1 is eth0. Don't even know how I'm sending this message as the the CentOS machine can't connect to the internet and this windoze box uses the Centos box as a gateway.

Benchmark Disk IO
by Matt Keating 19 May '10

What is the best way to benchmark disk IO? I'm looking to move one of my servers, which is rather IO intense. But not without first benchmarking the current and new disk array, To make sure this isn't a full waste of time. thanks

problem with bridged network for a kvm guest
by Negative 19 May '10

19 May '10

I'm having trouble with the bridged network setup. I'm new to kvm, but I got a window xp sp2 guest set up without trouble a few days ago. I followed the instructions in the RH virtualization guide, and all was fine until I had to reboot the host machine a few days later. Then, I lost networking altogether on the host machine. I lost track of all the things I tried, but finally got networking back on the host, but I suspect it's not right. For one thing, I deleted ifcfg-br0. Also, I commented out bridge=br0 in ifcfg-eth0. Oddly, ifconfig shows both interfaces, and shows them both set to static ip. One of the points I'm confused about is what, if anything, to write for the ip address in ifcfg-eth0. When I first set it up, I set the bridge interface to dhcp, and kept the host as a static ip on my lan. That made made the host dhcp, but that's no good for me, so I set the ip in ifcfg-br0 to my static ip, and everything worked fine, even though it didn't make sense that both eth0 and br0 had the same ip. Thanks for any guidance.
