Seagate FreeAgent Pro (external storage, eSATA) linux compatibility
by Simon Jolle 24 Aug '07

24 Aug '07

Hi list I am running out of space on my notebook. So wanna buy additional and external storage. I don't wanna do a DIY-work, so searching for pre-built external hard disks. I wish to buy Seagate FreeAgent Pro [0]. Does it work under CentOS 5? Would you recommend me even better products? I am searching for good performance, noise-less, smart standard support and no useless features like NFS/CIFS server, etc. [0] http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/external/freeagent_pro_data_mover… cheers Simon -- XMPP: sjolle(a)swissjabber.org

UTC vs local time
by Simon Jolle 24 Aug '07

24 Aug '07

Hi list I always configure my systems to use our local time (in my case /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Zurich) and disable UTC. What are the differences between UTC and local time? What are their respective advantages and disadvantages? When to use UTC? cheers Simon -- XMPP: sjolle(a)swissjabber.org

Re: [CentOS] Problems reading a backup data DVD

Mark: What I see, when gnome-mount (?), or something else, is not working properly, is a generic icon for the DVD drive. If a DVD is mounted, properly, it will also show me the label for the DVD and work properly. So far, to get a DVD to mount properly in that drive, I need to do it manually. Always, if I put the CentOS install DVD and boot the box, it will mount properly. I believe this is a problem with a configuration file or permissions. Lanny

There are couple of excellent patches available from http://www.ssi.bg/~ja for advance routing,load balancing,link-failover etc. Any idea why these patches are not yet integrated into the upstream kernel? Thanks

Samba and Scalix
by John Hinton 24 Aug '07

24 Aug '07

I'm hoping to integrate a shared folder(s) so that we may be able to drag and drop files from various OSs into a shared folder on a CentOS server which can be accessed via Scalix SWA or some other email client. Maybe I'm totally off base with how Scalix stores files in public folders... maybe everything has to be in mbox format for all folders and this could never work..... Anyway, I started thinking about Samba and Scalix in combination and was wondering if anybody knew of a way to perhaps use the combination to do what I want? I'm still very green with regards to Scalix. Thanks, John Hinton

csgfs update for 4.5
by Bowie Bailey 24 Aug '07

24 Aug '07

Anybody here know when there is going to be an update for the cluster packages for the 2.6.9-55.0.2 kernel that was released in June? The packages available from the repo are compiled against 2.6.8-55. I want to update my GFS cluster to CentOS 4.5, but I don't want to do such a major upgrade and leave out the kernel packages. -- Bowie

NFSv4 on CentOS 4.5
by Anoop Rajendra 24 Aug '07

24 Aug '07

Hi. I'm having trouble accessing a shared directory over NFSv4 on a CentOS 4.5 machine. My export file reads /test 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0(ro,async,insecure,nohide,no_subtree_check) Running the mount command with NFSv4 as the filesystem gives me a permission denied error. [root@pebble-anoop ~]# mount -v -t nfs4 pebble-anoop:/test/ /mnt/ mount: pinging: prog 100003 vers 4 prot tcp port 2049 mount: permission denied I've also tried to include the fsid=0 argument in my /etc/exports file. That gives me a whole different error [root@pebble-anoop ~]# mount -v -t nfs4 pebble-anoop:/test/ /mnt/ mount: pinging: prog 100003 vers 4 prot tcp port 2049 mount: special device pebble-anoop:/test/ does not exist Also, the parameter root_squash or no_root_squash don't make any difference whatsoever. Any ideas how I can solve this? It is imperative that I use NFSv4. NFSv3 won't do. Thanks. -anoop
