CentOS-5.3 yum-priorites
by James B. Byrne 22 Oct '09

22 Oct '09

I visited http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities which tells me to install the package yum-priorities available from extras. I try this and it fails. # yum install yum-priorities Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * addons: mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca * base: mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca * extras: mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca * updates: mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca Excluding Packages from CentOS-5 - Base Finished Excluding Packages from CentOS-5 - Extras Finished Reducing rubyworks to included packages only Finished Excluding Packages from CentOS-5 - Updates Finished Setting up Install Process No package yum-priorities available. Nothing to do So, where has it gone? Regards, -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

New administrator and upgrading systems
by Jonathan Moore 22 Oct '09

22 Oct '09

Hi there folks. I've been watching the never ending "CentOS 5.4 OMG WHEN?" threads for the last few days / weeks and had a question. I'm pretty new to anything rpm based. I used Red Hat 9 back in college, but that's about it. Currently, I do have a few Cent OS servers and we're slowly migrating from Debian to CentOS for various reasons. Since 5.3 - 5.4 is going to be my first major upgrade, I had a simple question. WHEN it's actually released, and things are going normal, should I just continue doing "yum upgrade" as always and will eventually be on 5.4? I seem to recall something with Fedora where you had to install some kind of release package, etc (again.. this was back in 2003 - 2004 time) and was just curious. Simple google searches tell me "yes! just yum upgrade" but I wanted input from you guys, if you don't mind. Thanks, Jonathan

Upgrade to 5.4 with an existing XFS-filesystem
by Bernhard Gschaider 22 Oct '09

22 Oct '09

Hi! I've got a fileserver currently running under 5.3 with the /home-partition being an XFS-filesystem. I use the kmod-xfs from extras. It works great ;) Now: as I understand it from the release-notes the 5.4 kernel has XFS already built-in. Right? Or is it just a kmod-package ("technology preview") Now my question is: are there any recommendations for an upgrade-procedure? I mean, I can probably manage, but I'll want to minimize downtime Bernhard BTW: when doing "yum list updates" I don't see any "kernel*"-packages in the list. Is this because the last kernel from the 5.3-updates has the same build-numer (164 I think)? And is the 5.4-base-kernel the same as the latest 5.3-updates-kernel?

sendmail question
by Jerry Geis 22 Oct '09

22 Oct '09

Hi all, I have a local user account call "panel" on a machine. When I use the mail command to manually send email to the panel account it over 1 minute until that mail actually deposited in the mail account. What setting is that reduces this time? I changed /etc/sysconfig/sendmail the QUEUE=10s and that did not have any effect. Thanks Jerry

EDAC Kernel Panic 2.6.9-78 and above
by Chris Miller 22 Oct '09

22 Oct '09

I've got a production system running CentOS 4 that was rock solid until I upgraded from 2.6.9-55 to 2.6.9-78.0.13 (now running 2.6.9-89.0.11). The system now crashes intermittently after a few weeks. I finally caught the panic message : EDAC MC0: INTERNAL ERROR: channel-b out of range (4 >= 4) Kernel panic - not syncing: MC0: Uncorrected Error Looking at the kernel changelog, I see that EDAC support was added for the Intel 5000 chipset in 2.6.9-68.20.EL which this server runs. I'm trying to determine if this is a potential memory issue, or is this related to some other hardware item. Also considering disabling EDAC in the kernel (is "noedac" a valid option?) as a last resort. I will run memtest86+ on the server as soon as possible to check the memory, just formulating my game plan if it's something else. Thoughts? Chris

The problem is not with updated systems but with newly installed systems. yum-priorities is missing from newly installed 5.4 systems. It's fine with updated systems. Tony -- Dept. of Comp. Sci.

Low End NAS hardware.
by Drew 22 Oct '09

22 Oct '09

Hey, The recent discussion on NAS/SAN and the Thecus N8800 got me to thinking. Bit of background. I have an old Dual Athlon MP2800+ that I'm using for a home web/file server. It runs fine but between the noise of the various fans and it's location in the living room, I've been asked by my spouse to find a replacement for it that's smaller & quieter. Looking at the Thecus, and based on experience with Atom based Mini-ITX systems at work, I was thinking about rolling my own. My questions is, for a small home server that runs apache/php/mysql and Samba, how well do the Mini-ITX boards like the VIA C3/7 & Intel Atoms handle this sort of task? I've used VIA systems as MythTV frontends but never as file/web servers. I'd expect they'd do fine for home use but I've never tried. Thanks, -- Drew "Nothing in life is to be feared.
