Upgrade to 5.3?
by James Bensley 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

Hey Listee's! I'm not that up on CentOS so I'd be curious to know if it is possible to upgrade CentOS 5.2 to 5.3 without reinstalling? Perhaps via Yum? Or can you get update RPMs? I hope this doesn't pose to much of a stupid question. Thanks for your help everyone.

print from emacs?
by Paul Johnson 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

I just noticed this problem in Centos 5.2. WHile editing a file in Emacs, one can print with the Postscript Print option from the pull down menu. However, the ordinary "print" option from the pull down menu, and the "printer icon" in the toolbar, cause nothing to happen. This is a new feature/bug for me. Can you explain? pj -- Paul E.

by Gary Greene 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Normally I don't like posting on this list for off-topic info, but I need to know "un-biased" opinions regarding Barracuda's Spam Firewall as we're looking to get one soon where I work and I want to know any pros/cons before I stake my credibility on it for our spam fighting. If you've had good or bad experiences with one of these devices, please contact me _off_ list regarding this. I don't want to spam the list with a major OT thread. Thanks.

PHP 5.2 on Centos4
by John Clement 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Bit of an emergency as I'm told this laptop has to leave here in 15 minutes, I've gone ahead and configured, made, installed PHP 5.2 but an httpd restart still only sees the old PHP 5.0.4, I think there's a fairly simple way to get it to find the 5.2 version I've just installed but can't think what. Any help gratefully received! thanks

Problem compiling cairo-dock under CentOS 5.2

I am trying to compile cairo-dock from source (failing to find an existing package for CentOS).

Backup methods for an Oracle DB
by Ugo Bellavance 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Hi, I've been testing different methods and I'd like to have some advice. I want to perform a cold backup once a week on the Oracle DB, and put it on tape. I'm using EMC Networker for backup software, and I am not too at ease with the fact of doing eveything with Networker, because if there is a problem with the backup, the Oracle DB might not come up after the backup run. So I thought of using disk-based backup. I've tried scp'ing the files directly to my backup server, but the operation is too long (120 min). I tried generating a tar.gz directly to my backup server via SSH. A decent 40 minutes, using mgzip (multi-thread gzip), 70 Gigs. 120 minutes for a tar.bz2, using pbzip2 (parralel bzip2) (54 Gigs). A tar sent directly to my backup server is quite huge (318 Gigs). It is then taken to tape on the regular nightly backup. My concerns are: - Time needed to perform backup (downtime). - Time needed to do a recovery. For the backup, sending a tar.gz directly to the backup server seems to be the best option. However, since I want to minimize the time needed to perform a recovery, I'd like to have raw files on tape, not in a tarball and not compressed (the tape is compressing anyway). Up to now, I've been quite disappointed by the speed at which my backup server can decompress and untar, and this server has quite good hardware. When I use iostat -x, I find that the %util of the device is averaging 80%. Here is the hardware involved: Oracle Server: HP Proliant 380DL + MSA70 16 GB ram 2 x Quad-core Xeons E5345 2.33 Ghz 9 RAID 10 volumes on 32 72G, 15K rpm SAS disks 1X Smart Array P400 w/512 MB BBU 1X Smart Array P800 w/512 MB BBU Database Server HP Proliant 360DL 2 x Quad-core Xeons E5345 2.33 Ghz 1 RAID 5 volume on 6 146 GB, 10K rpm SAS disks 1X Smart Array P400 w/512 MB BBU Any help or suggestions welcome. Regards, Ugo
