grabbed my DVD and did an install. When partitioning the disk I did not see a selection for ext4. Is this enabled after the fact some how? Jerry

Help setting up multipathing on CentOS 4.7 to an Equallogic iSCSI target
by James Pearson 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

I'm trying to test out an Equallogic PS5500 with a server running CentOS 4.7 I can create a volume and mount it fine using the standard iscsi-initiator-utils tools. The Equallogic box has 3 Gigabit interfaces and I would like to try to set up things so I can read/write from/to the volume using multiple NICs on the server i.e. get 200+ Mbyte/s access to the volume - I've had some basic info from Equallogic (Dell) saying that I need to set up DM multipathing - however, the info I have starts by saying that I have to: "Make sure the host can see multiple devices representing the same target volume" However, I'm not sure how I get to this point i.e. how do I set up the Equallogic and/or server so that I can see a single volume over multiple network links? Has anyone set up one of these Equallogic boxes in this way using CentOS4/RHEL4 ? Thanks James Pearson

Symantec Backup Exec (formerly Veritas) agent
by Mike Yates 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

I'm just wondering if anyone else here is using this? The majority of jobs on our CentOS5 server "fail" by "Communications failure" right at the end, apparently on the very last file which, however, is recoverable, as is the whole archive. In more than half these failures, the Linux agent has stopped and, in about half of those, crashes leaving a backtrace. I had similar symptoms in Fedora4 (though much less often) and Fedora9 when the data was on a different server. Symantec have looked at this but they only "support" RHEL and SLES so will not delve deeper.

Getting ready for CentOS 5.4
by mbneto 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Hi, Since the release of CentOS 5.3 is imminent(?) I'd like to ask a question regarding why did it took so long to be released and, more important, suggest some actions in order to reduce this time if I can assume what caused this delay. First I'd like to make sure I am not complaining about this delay between the RHEL and CentOS releases per se. I did not help in any way to make it happen faster and usually I don't mind having a three weeks gap between them. But I've noticed that we had two security related kernel updates from RHEL since the RHEL 5.3 release and there is no word on when it will be released or why is it taking so long. I can only assume that this delay is caused by lack of the necessary human resources. So, if this is really the case I'd suggest making some sort of campaign to raise money and provide the necessary resources in order to speed things up. If RH maintains the 4-6 month schedule it can happen again in less than three months. If this is not the case as a suggestion please let the community know what's going on. Perhaps an automated email sent to the mailing list with today's status (like 400 packages left to rebase, 20 packages being reviewed by QA etc) would give a sense of progress, let the others know if you hit problems and reduce the anxiety with daily doses of news :) Regards.
