This would be sufficient to cause Red Hat to not build their kernel with it even if all it takes to make it work is to enable the feature in the kernel build. See one of the many flame wars over MP3 or some other IP encumbered technology as to why RH won't include it (and risk getting sued). Cheers, Dave -- Politics, n.

Centos 5 will have full NTFS read write support?

Hello. I have Centos 4.4 with the NTFS read-only driver from http://www.linux-ntfs.org/content/view/135/71/ I would like know if someone who installed this can test if Centos 5 can read/write NTFS,.

Amen. I have been installing Red Hat Linux (and now CentOS) since RH 7. After installing, I am always astonished at the unneeded services that upstream has running. Check services, after installing and stop the services you do not need!

4.92 alsa compile issue
by Jerry Geis 03 Apr '07

I was trying to compile alsa 1.0.14rc3 on centos 4.92 and there are errors. I have informed alsa. They dont seem to happy redhat has once again messed up alsa with their custom kernel. Just FYI.

CentOS 5 Dual Drive Confusion
by Brett Serkez 02 Apr '07

02 Apr '07

I performed a test install of CentOS Beta 5 on a system with two ~60 GB drives. When installing CentOS 4 on this system, I normally work thru setting up Software RAID with identically sized partitions on each drive. For my test, the CentOS installer only presented a single drive. I took the default of letting it do what it wanted. After looking over the system I have verified that /boot is using DMRAID, but it isn't not clear if the balance of the drive for the root file system is using both drives or not, I think it might be. Using fdisk, I can see both disks are carved out identically: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/hda2 14 7297 58508730 8e Linux LVM /dev/hdd1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/hdd2 14 7297 58508730 8e Linux LVM Using dmraid it *looks* like the drives are mirrored in total? dmraid -r -D /dev/hda: pdc, "pdc_bacfgfjaf", mirror, ok, 117231345 sectors, data@ 0 /dev/hdd: pdc, "pdc_bacfgfjaf", mirror, ok, 117231345 sectors, data@ 0 But then using df it is less obvious: df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 54G 1009M 50G 2% / /dev/mapper/pdc_bacfgfjafp1 99M 11M 83M 12% /boot tmpfs 125M 0 125M 0% /dev/shm pvs shows VolGroup00 as using pdc_bacfgfjafp2: PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree /dev/mapper/pdc_bacfgfjafp2 VolGroup00 lvm2 a- 55.78G 32.00M which is RAID1?????? Seems to be: dmraid -s *** Active Set name : pdc_bacfgfjaf size : 117231232 stride : 128 type : mirror status : ok subsets: 0 devs : 2 spares : 0 Am I properly understanding that by default, CentOS 5 is creating a full drive mirrored RAID? Then for other than the boot partition, it is laying LVM over this mirrored RAID, presumably to allow adjustments later? Thank you in advance, Brett

i see one available in the repos, but i don't recall seeing any announcement about it. from googling, it does seem to be real, but still a bit disconcerting to not have an announcement about it.

Software RAID 10?
by Mickey Everts 02 Apr '07

02 Apr '07

Hello... I have a server with 4 x SCSI drives and I would like to install Centos 4 (or 5) onto a software RAID 10 array. Do you know if this is possible? I noticed that under the Centos 4.92 beta, RAID 5 is an option but for some reason RAID 10 is not listed. There does appear to be a RAID 10 module.... /lib/modules/2.6.9-42.0.8.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/md/raid10.ko More info I found here: http://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/01093607424 Many thanks for any help on this; I hate to buy hardware raid controller if not needed....

LVM & Softraid & expansion
by Cen Tos 02 Apr '07

02 Apr '07

I've been reading the RHEL 5 manual/guide linked from centos, and the idea of LVM with expandable partitions seems like a great idea (yes duh why else would it exist if not?). Although the documentation shows a screenshot of how the final setup would look like with LVM & RAID together, it doesn't actually gives the step. 1. Am I correct in thinking it should be done in this way - setup Softraid - setup LVM on the raid partitions Secondly, LVM allows expansion of the LVM group when we add a new drive. But with softraid, how will this happen? Searching around does not turn up any guide on this. Am I correct in thinking I must always add new drives in pairs (for Raid 1), create a new softraid partition then assign this new partition to the LVM group? Thanks!
