CentOS 4.4 Installation on Dell poweredge 2900 raid 1 + raid 5 fail
by Fung 09 May '07

09 May '07

Hi All, I install CentOS 4.4 without additional driver disk. When I partition the disk, I create nothing on the raid 5, and I just create " / " " /boot " and "swap" on the raid 1. And it works. When I create a mount point /storage on the raid 5 and create " / " " /boot " and "swap" on the raid 1. The error comes again, saying that there are inconsistency on the raid /dev/sdb1 What should I do? Regards, Fung

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 5 dual head doesn't work

Last time I did this I had to add Option "DesktopSetup" "horizontal" under the first device section. I don't have the card anymore so I can't check my config.

CentOS 5 Xen Files Left in /var/lib/xen ..
by Graham Jenkins 09 May '07

09 May '07

I have a machine with four guests on it, and it seems to create and leave lots of files with names like vmlinuz.LqKA3h and initrd.kolvQu in directory /var/lib/xen. The remain there even when all guests are gracefully shut down .. and additional ones get created when they are next started. The end result, of course, is that the root file system fills up. So .. how can I prevent this from happening? I've got SELinux disabled and I have Guest files in /XenGuests. I've also set XENDOMAINS_SAVE="" in /etc/sysconfig/xendomains Any ideas? -- Graham Jenkins +61 3 9925 4909 Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing http://www.vpac.org/ PO Box 201, Carlton South, Vic. 3053, Australia

CentOS 5 and fail2ban
by Iain Lee 09 May '07

09 May '07

I had fail2ban working against ssh and vsftpd in CentOS 4.4 but in 5 it only works against ssh and not vsftp. This is with the same conf files for fail2ban and vsftp which I used in 4.4. I suspect that the higher version of vsftp may be the cause. Has anyone managed to get it work? Failing that, any pointers on how to downgrade to the vsftpd-2.0.1-5.EL4.5.i386.rpm used in 4.4? __ Iain Lee

rpmforge repo for centos5
by Dave 08 May '07

08 May '07

Hi, I just downloaded and installed the rpmforge-release rpm file for centos5. Ftp isn't working here, so it went http, but the http mirrors are giving me error 11, connections refused. Is this a problem with the particular mirror? Also, how do i query a specific repo to find out what packages it contains? Thanks. Dave.

SATA on Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2 MB
by fredex 08 May '07

08 May '07

Hi Gang! I've got this (now old) Gigabyte motherboard (GA-7N400 Pro2), I've had it for just over 3 years. I use it, so far, with only PATA devices. I'm toying with the idea of buying a matched pair of SATA drives and when I install Centos 5 (hopefully soon), building it with software raid (using the two drives as mirrors of each other). Now, I wouldn't have ever even thought of this question, except I've been reading recently that most/many/some new motherboards, those few that still offer PATA, often cannot boot from PATA any more because the manufacturer has saved a couple of bucks by not putting a suitable PATA chip on the board. Now, given that this board is 3 years old (designed even longer ago than that), I'm wondering if the SATA support is complete? That is, can Centos 5 boot from SATA on such a board? or am I merely an old man who worries needlessly? Thanks for the opinions! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ------------------------------- Romans 5:8 (niv) ------------------------------

YUM grabbing two architectures
by Steve Finkelstein 08 May '07

08 May '07

Afternoon all, Is there any particular reason why yum fetches rpms for two architectures on almost any update/install I'd like to perform? This includes both i386 and x86_64. Here's a small excerpt after performing a 'yum update' cups-libs i386 1:1.1.22-0.rc1.9.18 update 107 k cups-libs x86_64 1:1.1.22-0.rc1.9.18 update 112 k I'm assuming I'll have to put in an explicit arch into /etc/yum.conf? - sf
