reading ufs2 filesystems with centosplus kernel
by Dave 30 Aug '07

30 Aug '07

Hello, I'm running centos5 with the centosplus kernel v2.6.18-8.1.8.el5 and i'm trying to read a drive that has a ufs2 partition on it. It was originally in a FreeBSD machine and has some data i'd like to get at. Googling indicated this should work with the command: mount -r -t ufs -o ufstype=ufs2 <device> <mountpoint> device is /dev/hdb5 and mountpoint is /mnt. I'm getting an error unknown filesystem type ufs. I'm assuming i have to load a module of some kind. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Dave.

monitoring rsync backups on centos
by dnk 30 Aug '07

Hi there, I was wondering whay people were using to monitor rsync backups on centos? I have been looking around sourceforge for various programs (IE Backup Monitor), but am hesitant to trust any of them without hearing about some user experiences. We currently just use rsync for backups (like a slightly more "Vanilla" setup), but just want to be sure everything is going as it should each day.... Thanks! dnk

Any other favorites? If you will search the list archives, 3Ware has been recommended, many times, in recent months, on this ML. Sometimes, it's worth ordering from overseas and paying for shipment and customs. I've ordered many things from the USA and it is incredibly rare that something has arrived DOA, in the past 12 years. If it is DOA, then you are without a warranty and in deep stuff.... Look into 3Ware!

HI! Friends, in followup to my last article<http://mytechrantings.blogspot.com/2007/08/centos-5-selinux-xen-squid-yum-c…>regarding my experiences with setting up CentOS, taking the advice from Phil, I have written an article dealing with NFS setup<http://mytechrantings.blogspot.com/2007/08/nfs-network-file-system.html>. Please visit it at http://mytechrantings.blogspot.com/2007/08/nfs-network-file-system.html The article format is in "Questions and Answers" which I chose so that It can be a increase Knowledge Base . . . Please see to it and tell me what do you think about this format... And leave any questions in the comment that I might have missed... And ofcourse you are welcome to put in your thoughts and knowledge in the topic there :D I am planning to write more artciles in this series, already working on them, one is on YUM setups for LANs and another one is on XEN and Virt manager. But before I proceed I want to know about the format... will this Q&A format be appealing enough??? Kind Regards, Rohit Rai -- I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection.

Three comments about webmin: (a) There is a huge (800 pages?) manual for webmin in .pdf format, available for download from the webmin web site. (b) I installed it on my Desktop (CentOS 5.0) a couple of weeks ago and I ran into a problem, because I have SELinux running in Permissive Mode. I first submitted to Bugzilla at Upstream and he tracked it down to Webmin, so I moved the bug to sourceforge: <https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=117457&aid=1781101&group_…> This is what Jamie wrote: > Ok, thanks ...

What is eating my memory?
by Robert Moskowitz 30 Aug '07

30 Aug '07

The tail of two systems and one hard drive. I install centos 5 on a HD while it is in a Compaq with 256Mb memory. After install, i am in graphics mode (Gnome) and top reports not quite all 256Mb used. Then I move the HD to a decTOP with 512Mb memory. I am running non-graphics (init 3). I ssh into the unit and top reports not quite all of that used..... So what ate up more than 256Mb memory (X is not running)? Perhaps there is something I did not clean up properly wrt the move.

OT: Suggestions for RAID HW for 2 SATA drives in Dell PowerEdge SC
by Lanny Marcus 30 Aug '07

30 Aug '07

Looking at the Dell PowerEdge 440SC web page for Colombia. The box will have two 250 GB SATA drives. The HD controller is: SAS 5IR SAS,Internal Raid Adapter (SAS5IR) for HD Configuration) the options are: (1) Add-in SAS5iR (SATA/SAS Controller)-RAID 0 (ASASR0) (2) Onboard SATA, 2 Drives connected to Onboard SATA Controller No RAID (MST2) (3) Add-in SAS5iR (SATA/SAS Controller) which supports 1-2 Hard Drives-No RAID (ASAS) (4) Add-in SAS5iR (SATA/SAS Controller)-RAID 1 (ASASR1) Apparently the cost for them is the same. Option 1 (RAID 0) or Option 4 (RAID 1)? Suggestions solicited! TIA, Lanny BTW: I plan to put CentOS on it. If Dell installs Linux, with 1 year support, down here they charge: (a) Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4, 1 year subscription to Red Hat Network, English (RH4ES1) [about US$400] (b) SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, 1 CPU, 1 YR Subscription, FI (SL101S1) [about US$160]
