NetworkManager won't save wireless keys
by Kevin Kempter 14 Jan '10

14 Jan '10

Hi all; I'm running KDE 3.5 on CentOS 5.4 I have wireless working however every time I boot I have to enter the wireless key. Anyone know how to get NetworkManager to save the keys? I've tried going to the 'edit connections' and adding the key there as well with no luck. Thanks in advance

Bonding modes
by Paras pradhan 14 Jan '10

14 Jan '10

I have a bonded interface running in mode 1 which is active/passive and no issue with this. I need to change it to mode 0 for active/active setup. Does mode 0 is dependent on the switches configuration? My setup is: 2 links from bonded interface is connected to different switches. When I change to mode0 from mode1 , bond0 is not coming up. These are the steps I performed 1) changed to options bond0 mode=0 miimon=100 from options bond0 mode=0 miimon=100 2) modprobe bonding 3) service network restart Thanks ! Paras.

Problem with checkinstall
by Bob McConnell 14 Jan '10

14 Jan '10

I installed checkinstall 1.6.2 on CentOS 5.4 VM (VMWare Server on WinXP). After getting the dependencies installed it compiled with no errors. But when I run it in its own source directory, I keep getting an error that I can't track down. The message is: install: cannot change ownership of '/usr/local/lib/installwatch.so': No such file or directory. But not only does the file exist, it has the correct permissions and creation time. I am running this as root. I did change the permissions on both make and install to 0755, but that did not help. The command line is: checkinstall -R --install=no Any suggestions?

more kickstart - saving %pre decisions for %post
by Alan McKay 14 Jan '10

Hey again folks, How can I save answers to questions in %pre, for use in %post? I'm assuming (though have not yet tried) that variables won't live that long. Could I save them off to /tmp in a file, and retrieve them? e.g. %pre echo "VARNAME=$VARNAME" >> /tmp/varfile %post grep ^VARNAME= /tmp/varile Or some such ... -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

Strange... amanda was created in 1991... BackupPC in 2001. That would explain it a bit...

Between compression and pooling, I get about 10x the raw data being archived with backuppc - it beats juggling tapes and you can let the users access the backups of their own machine through a web interface. There are some down sides to plan around though: the compression takes some CPU and is slower than a stock rsync run, and the pooling is done with hardlinks which forces the archive to be on a single filesystem and makes it hard to duplicate for offsite copies. There's an RPM in epel that is easy to install on Centos. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

There's a big write performance hit from raid5 (software or not). It may not be enough to be a showstopper but I wouldn't recommend it. Can you reconfigure to a 0+1 or some other type that has better performance without losing too much space? The archive does have to be on a single filesystem, though, and if you use the epel RPM it makes things easier if you mount the volume at /var/lib/BackupPC before the install. See 'how to change archive directory' from: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/backuppc/index.php?title=Tips_and_Tri… to do it after the install. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com
