Yum site cache
by Lorenzo 18 May '07

18 May '07

Hi all, since I'm installing several copies of CentOS I was thinking of using some system to save bandwidth. I started looking at mrepo, but I noticed that, if I let him sync with updates and rpmforge repos, I'll end with a _lot_ of unneeded files. Also I have to modify the various yum repos configuration files for it to work. What I would like to achieve is just download the same file only once: does anyone know if there is something like a "yum proxy-cache" or if it is possible to instruct squid to caches at least the rpm's and to serve them regardless of the server (by default yum uses a server list, so it would be nice to have the system working without having to fiddle too much with config files) tia Lorenzo

Why no upgrade?
by Scott Moseman 18 May '07

18 May '07

I have 2 installs of 4.4 that I'm experimenting with. 'yum update' on one of them upgraded to 4.5, but the other system does NOT upgrade. Any ideas? I ran a 'yum clean all' but it did not appear to help. Thanks, Scott

Is it possible/advisable to run CentOS 4.4 and 5.0 on the same box
by Mark Hull-Richter 17 May '07

17 May '07

We are in the process of transiting from 4.4 to 5.0 and I may need to be able to switch back and forth for a while. Is it possible (or advisable) to run both 4.4 and 5.0 on the same machine, or does that involve a lot of reinstalling/repartitioning and a fair amount of pain (I have only one disk on the test machine for this purpose). I'd rather just go to 5.0, but that's not up to me at the moment. Thanks. -- Mark Hull-Richter DATAllegro (www.datallegro.com) 85 Enterprise, Second Floor, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656 949-680-3082 - Office 949-680-3001 - fax

[OT] CentOS 5 and Inspiron 6400 [WAS: CentOS 5 - Issues with multimedia]
by Matteo Scaramuccia 17 May '07

17 May '07

Hi Gabriel, > I am having some issues with CentOS 5. [cut] > I am running a clean install of CentOS 5 i386 on a Dell Inspiron 6400 > (Core Due, 1GB RAM) with SELinux on "enforcing". I've just received my new 6400 (T7400, 2GB, 160GB, Vista Home Premium) and I'd like to install CentOS 5 too. With big surprise (looking at the partition table first and then, googling, http://www.goodells.net/dellrestore/index.htm) I found that Dell is used to use the whole of the four partitions (see the url above for details). Did you remove any of these partitions (e.g. the Media Direct one)? Could you share your experience? I'd like to preserve the base functionalities without preventing me to use CentOS 5 as the master OS. Thanks in advance, Matteo

GFS & Vsftpd? maybe even Iscsi?
by Karl R. Balsmeier 17 May '07

17 May '07

Looking to cluster an FTP server. Right now we do a mix of stuff where we use a few separate servers linked through various hacks, that utilizes VSFTPd heavily for hundreds of television station news websites, where, of course, the current weather maps get uploaded from everywhere, all day, from NOAA and the like. I'd like to move from the current setup to something that's more HA oriented, -is GFS and option in Centos and is it viable to make an FTP server setup like this? (please no responses about SFTP, I use that too on other servers and yes, prefer it even if it slows things down). Hardware is not an issue, just curious about what some of you sage folk might have experimented with, and possibly have put into production. A google search turned up relatively empty, so hopefully this isn't one of those questions that gets a collective "huh?". Essentially am just trying to get away from the many separate machines I use now where I have to clone entries from /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow all over the place. Bonus: I have an ISCSI NAS device/promiseraid, so perhaps there's an option there instead of doing GFS I could grab a slice of space that way and just have one server with a huge amount of space? It doesn't answer point of failure totally, but... -krb

Disk accounting with LVM Snapshots
by Mike Fedyk 17 May '07

17 May '07

Hi, I was reading a lot of data from one LVM logical volume and wanted to watch the disk statistics with iostat today. To my surprise, I was seeing the same activity on two logical volumes (LV) and the physical disk containing the two. A little investigation showed that one LV was a snapshot of the other, and I was reading from one of the snapshots. While I understand that the two LVs share some common Logical Extents (LE), I believe it is a bug that the disk statistics show the activity on both logical volumes. Should I report this in the centos bugzilla or upstream's bts? Thanks, Mike Fedyk

Using Xen under CentOS 5.0
by Ioannis Vranos 17 May '07

17 May '07

OS: CentOS 5.0 x86. I have an internal modem with a driver that works with CentOS 4.x but not with 5.0. So I am thinking of using Xen in conjunction to SL 4.x. My question is, does this require separate physical partitions for SL 4.x, or will these be part of a VM file or something with CentOS 5.0 as a host?

Squirrelmail Problem on CentOS 4.4
by John Hinton 17 May '07

17 May '07

Recently, some of my accounts cannot read any email in the INBOX within Squirrelmail. The error.... The server couldn't find the message you requested. Most probably your message list was out of date and the message has been moved away or deleted (perhaps by another program accessing the same mailbox). The messages are not being moved out. In fact, I can delete one of those messages just fine. I can also move messages to another folder. Oddly, once I move a message I can open and read it.. and I can open and read any message in the Trash folder. So, it seems that something has changed during an update to who knows what, which has borked up reading mail in Squirrelmail. It does seem that this is occurring so far on what would amount to root users of an account. In other words, the user created during a hosting installation. So, files are stored in /var/www/rootusername. When I add additional email users to an account, I put their user files in /var/www/homes/rootuser/additionalusername. Has anybody else experienced this? I'm a bit lost as to where to look. I am using Sendmail/Dovecot and have been on this server since CentOS 4 came out. This could be any of so many things from PHP to IMAP, but mostly it seems to be some pathing problem.. just not sure where to begin. The only thing I am finding in apache error logs is this: PHP Notice: Undefined variable: charset_converted in /usr/share/squirrelmail/functions/mime.php on line 316, referer: http://domain_name_replaced_here_by_john.com/webmail/src/right_main.php?PG_… Which doesn't seem to have any affect on other users and looks like it refers to the folder list and not the email reader. Thanks for any hints/help on this. Best, John Hinton
