Making a NAS/HFS server
by Steve Campbell 15 Jan '08

15 Jan '08

I ran into a problem that I couldn't resolve straight away, but would like to solve for sometime in the future. We have a Thecus storage server (similar to a Buffalo TeraByte, if that helps?) that has a Mac filesystem on it. The mother board was failing, but the drives are still OK. A new box has been added, so the urgency is sort of gone. I was going to try and back up the data to a new CentOS 5.1 box I had until the new Thecus arrived, but ran into the problem of Mac resource forks not being copied when I mounted the Thecus as a CIFS system. Is there a commonly used procedure to do the above task of copying a Mac (HFS, I think) system to a linux box from the linux box? This sort of runs into another project we have in the works where we want to make the equivalent of a SAN/NAS type storage system. We want to have a cluster of Centos boxes running for shared storage, and have the ability to add to it seamlessly. But now, I'm wondering if it won't run into the same problem with the HFS or other filesystems that may be used. I understand NAS storage sort of handles the different filesystem protocols by interface, so I wondering if anyone has a pointer to something like this also. Google keeps pointing me in a circle back to an old HFS+ driver that sort of stopped development in 2003. The trail ends very abruptly. Sorry to be so windy, but offer thanks in advance for any clues. Steve Campbell

strange sar statistics: total CPU 90% in userspace, but CPU 0 and 1 only 1%
by Simon Jolle 15 Jan '08

15 Jan '08

Hi Centos Users The server (ProLiant DL380 G5, Centos 4.3) was not responsible anymore (SSH), fans rotated at full power and the console was blank. After restart it seems to be fine. Now I am analyzing sar statistics (in system logs nothing special, unusual). The hardware monitoring with HP tools didn't work. # sar -P ALL Linux 2.6.9-34.ELsmp (cent061) 01/15/2008 12:00:01 AM CPU %user %nice %system %iowait %idle 12:10:01 AM all 90.43 0.00 5.74 3.83 0.00 12:10:01 AM 0 0.91 0.00 0.07 0.04 98.98 12:10:01 AM 1 1.92 0.00 0.11 0.08 97.88 12:20:01 AM all 73.85 0.00 24.23 1.92 0.00 12:20:01 AM 0 0.15 0.00 0.05 0.00 99.80 12:20:01 AM 1 0.17 0.00 0.06 0.01 99.76 12:30:01 AM all 75.28 0.00 22.47 2.25 0.00 12:30:01 AM 0 0.17 0.00 0.04 0.00 99.78 12:30:01 AM 1 0.17 0.00 0.05 0.01 99.77 12:40:01 AM all 72.09 0.00 24.81 3.10 0.00 12:40:01 AM 0 0.16 0.00 0.04 0.00 99.80 12:40:01 AM 1 0.15 0.00 0.06 0.01 99.78 12:50:01 AM all 73.31 0.00 24.06 2.63 0.00 12:50:01 AM 0 0.14 0.00 0.04 0.01 99.81 12:50:01 AM 1 0.19 0.00 0.06 0.00 99.75 01:00:01 AM all 74.06 0.00 24.06 1.88 0.00 01:00:01 AM 0 0.13 0.00 0.04 0.00 99.82 01:00:01 AM 1 0.19 0.00 0.06 0.00 99.74 01:10:01 AM all 68.02 0.00 24.37 7.61 0.00 01:10:01 AM 0 0.23 0.00 0.09 0.01 99.67 01:10:01 AM 1 0.21 0.00 0.07 0.04 99.68 Average: all 81.85 0.00 14.45 3.70 0.00 Average: 0 0.27 0.00 0.05 0.01 99.67 Average: 1 0.43 0.00 0.07 0.02 99.48 10:17:55 AM LINUX RESTART 10:20:01 AM CPU %user %nice %system %iowait %idle 10:30:01 AM all 0.32 0.00 0.07 0.40 99.21 10:30:01 AM 0 0.35 0.00 0.07 0.44 99.14 10:30:01 AM 1 0.28 0.00 0.08 0.36 99.29 10:40:01 AM all 0.25 0.00 0.07 0.21 99.47 10:40:01 AM 0 0.28 0.00 0.08 0.20 99.45 10:40:01 AM 1 0.22 0.00 0.07 0.21 99.50 [...] How its possible that the total CPU is 90% busy, but CPU 1 + 2 only 1%?

Can anyone help me get direction on getting my phone paired with my system?

Kickstart install with a degraded raid array
by Rick Barnes 15 Jan '08

15 Jan '08

Is it possible to install CentOS 5 with a degraded RAID 1 array using kickstart? I have the kickstart file already created but the "server" I want to use only has 1 hard drive in it at the moment. Until I can order a 2nd drive, I wanted to install the OS then once I received the replacement drive "fix" the array. I have seen instructions how to do this manually, but so far have not been able to get it to work using kickstart. Anyone tried this in the past? Thanks, Rick

LIMITING NUMBER OF KERNEL VERSIONS RETAINED
by Chris Geldenhuis 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

Hi Some time ago there was a discussion on the above subject. I have scanned the past few month's mailing list archives and cannot find the relevant mail(s). Could somebody please repost the solution or point me at the correct resource. I would also appreciate advice on how to do this on a RHEL4 server being updated with up2date. Is it safe just to delete the old kernel and initrd files from the boot partition and the grub conf file? TIA ChrisG

Strange: wireless card shouldn't work, but it works ?!?
by Niki Kovacs 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

Hi, I know this is a rather unusual request. Normally, people would complain about a card that *should* work, but here goes. I have a series of machines in a computer room, all equipped with a RT2561 wireless card. CentOS doesn't include support for that card, so what I usually do to install a system: 1) Install a *very* minimal base system (the bare minimum). 2) Install some development tools (gcc, kernel-devel) from the CentOS install CDs. 3) Copy over the driver source (rt2561-cvs-daily.tar.gz) downloaded on another machine. 4) Compile that driver and install it (plain make && make install). 5) Configure my network to use the wireless card. 6) yum update my base system once I have network. This method has the advantage of avoiding having to pull 20-meter Ethernet cables only to configure wireless :oD Now one thing puzzles me. I have the install CD set from 5.0. The default kernel is 2.6.18-8.el5. Once I updated the whole base system and rebooted on it, I'm using the updated kernel, e. g. 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 at this date. As far as I understand, each kernel has its own set of kernel modules under /lib/modules/`uname -r`. A quick ls on /lib/modules effectively shows me the two directories for the two kernels. I installed my wireless driver on the old kernel, which means normally after rebooting I'd have to build and install it again for my new kernel. Bu strangely enough, when I reboot on the new kernel, my wireless card still works without me having rebuilt the driver. I'm clueless about this. Niki

CentOS Book
by Niki Kovacs 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

Hi, I'm using CentOS on server and desktop since 4.2, and I'm quite happy with it. Can you recommend some complete documentation besides the RHEL Deployment Guide? For example, I have a big fat paper book "FreeBSD Unleashed", 700 pages chock full of useful information. Now I wonder if you can recommend something similar for CentOS (RHEL / Fedora). cheers, Niki
