GFS
by Mag Gam 30 May '08

30 May '08

Hello: I am planning to implement GFS for my university as a summer project. I have 10 servers each with SAN disks attached. I will be reading and writing many files for professor's research projects. Each file can be anywhere from 1k to 120GB (fluid dynamic research images). The 10 servers will be using NIC bonding (1GB/network). So, would GFS be ideal for this? I have been reading a lot about it and it seems like a perfect solution. Any thoughts? TIA

Centosplus vmware kernels....???
by Tom Bishop 30 May '08

30 May '08

OK, so I need to bring up a new vm and was wondering what the state of vm kernels for centos. I have read this http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2189about the tick divider but it wasn't clear what the best step forward is for centos 5.1 was, i usually ran with the clocksource=pit option and it looked like that and the divider option caused a problem. I have in the past compiled my own but was wondering what others were now doing, thanks in advance 8-)

FireFox
by Robert Spangler 30 May '08

Can anyone tell me if there are plans to update Firefox to the new 3.0 for Centos 4.5? Seems like only the 1.5 version has been placed in the repos and I think it should be time for an upgrade. If I'm looking in the wrong place let me know also. Thnx. -- Regards Robert Smile... it increases your face value! Linux User #296285 http://counter.li.org

Pool: 2 Class: 1 Aggregate: Max: 187500 Restore: 187500 Current: -6 Memory Used: 624 bytes End of Output What does mean Current with a negative value? Thanks in advance -- -- Open Kairos http://www.openkairos.com Watch More TV http://sebelk.blogspot.com Sergio Belkin -

40 second delay on automounts with 2.6.18-53.1.21.el5 kernel
by Joe Pruett 29 May '08

29 May '08

after this latest centos 5 kernel update, i am seeing 40 second delays on automount points. nothing in the rpm changelog looks obviously related to autofs and the autofs module seems to be the same as the previous kernel. i'm starting to do some strace'ing and other debugging, but nothing has jumped out at me yet. i'm hoping someone else has seen it so i know i'm not alone :-).

nfsnobody 65534 vs 4294967294
by David Halik 29 May '08

29 May '08

Hi, I just had a couple of questions about nfsnobody. We run a very large NFS infrastructure based off of a NetApp, and we're been discussing whether or not it is necessary to have 64 bit nfsnobody as 4294967294. I understand the reasoning behind this (2^32 - 2 gives you a max UID), but we're having issues since we run multiple architectures. The UID doesn't play nice across Solairs, Centos, 32 vs 64bit, etc. Are there any obvious security risks or problems with using nfsnobody as 65534 (2^16 - 2) on 64bit, or even just assigning it a random value, 300 for example? I can't see any particular reason for having such a high number other than to keep it above any possible real UID space. Also, the NetApp automatically generates quota tables based off of the highest UID, so obviously this is a *major* problem if suddenly we have billions of users as far as the NetApp is concerned. Ultimately, we'd like to just assign it a low value in the range with our other system account, but we are not sure of the potential risks with NFS etc. Any comments would be appreciated.
