CentOS 5 and webex wrf files?
by Scott Ehrlich 18 Jan '10

18 Jan '10

Anyone have experience playing back a Webex wrf file on their CentOS 5.x system? I have a newly installed CentOS 5.4 i386 system and want to play such a file, but the Webex.com web site says it only supports Windows and MacOS for playback. Any other options next to creating a VM of Windows (I'm not buying a Mac for this). Thanks. Scott

I think nobody has yet mentioned rdiff-backup. I have very good experiences with it. Easy to setup and control (only remember first to install the required packages, and I think rsync-devel was not mentioned but is required). Rdiff-backup keeps up an exact copy of the source director(ies), plus it maintains a separate directory for deleted/changed items. With an appropriate command you can restore the source directory as it was at a given point of time. Very neat, and space-saving. http://rdiff-backup.nongnu.org/ - Jussi -- Jussi Hirvi * Green Spot Topeliuksenkatu 15 C * 00250 Helsinki * Finland Tel. +358 9 493 981 * Mobile +358 40 771 2098 (only sms) jussi.hirvi(a)greenspot.fi * http://www.greenspot.fi "Remember that if you can't understand an answer, it's okay, we'll just keep going forward as if you do." -- Peter Gulutzan, "MySQL 5.0 Stored Procedures"

Don't forget to use the '-E stride=XX,stripe-width=YY (where XX and YY are replaced with the appropriate values) options creating your filesystem on the RAID. Otherwise your disk drive usage will have 'hot spots' and slower than optimal speed. Do a man mke2fs to understand how to use them correctly. -- Benjamin Franz

unison versus rsync
by Joseph L. Casale 17 Jan '10

17 Jan '10

Anyone got any actual comparisons between unison and rsync specifically related to the performance of synchronization of large data sets over slow links? I have a huge tree to start replication of Friday and know that if I sync the root paths it will take ages and with the lack of any overall state of progress this won't be optimal as its likely to fail for whatever reason before it can finish. Initially I just thought I would break it down to several smaller jobs but that becomes a burden to maintain... We use bacula internally but sending the diffs would be cumbersome as the individual files would be rather large... Thanks! jlc

Centos and RadeonHD 4570
by Lucian ＠ lastdot.org 17 Jan '10

17 Jan '10

Hi guys, Recently I've done a bad bad thing, buying a laptop with an ATI card. The card itself is supposed to be quite decent performance wise, but the ATI drivers still suck a lot. I haven't yet tried booting Centos on this laptop, but I used a Fedora 12 LiveCD. Fedora displays things nicely, but no 3D accel (I like to play OpenArena/Tremulous every now and then). After some serious googling I learned that I cannot even install ATI Catalyst driver on Fedora, because of too new Xorg. Do you have any success stories with running Centos and have 3D acceleration on this video card? lspci reports: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS780M/RS780MN [Radeon HD 3200 Graphics] 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M92 [MobilityRadeon HD 4500 Series] Yes, 2 gpus. I think it's this hybrid thing: http://ati.amd.com/technology/hybridgraphics/technology.html Your feedback will be appreciated. I will not end up using Win7.

Dual Gateways, Dual IPs on the same net
by Mr Gabriel 17 Jan '10

17 Jan '10

If I configure a second virtual ip address on a device, will it always send packets to the gateway configured, or to it's primary gateway. For example, two ISPs configured, two firewalls configured, gateway IP's 192.168.1.1 and .2. Internal server has IP 192.168.1.100 with gateway .1. Incoming packets that have been forwarded from outside, (for instance an SSH session), will be returned to .1 for routing back to the internet. If a virtual adapter is configured with ip 192.168.1.101 and a gateway of .2 will traffic that is destined to 101, always be returned .2???

Hi All, I have a CentOS 5.4 web server. I have some stuff that runs on 443. When I hit https://<the site> The user gets a warning saying that site identity could not be verified and the user can add an exception if they want. How do I stop this from happing? Do I need to buy an SSL cert? Aren't these really expensive per server and I have 5 servers I would need to do this too. Can anyone provide advice? -Jason
