Thank you for asking so nicely. I downloaded the ISO. I obviosuly installed the beta, I tried man xen, whereis xen... I launched firefox thinking the first page might have a link to a manual, etc... but no... Earlier when I tried to read the release notes I got a page cannot be displayed.... I tried doing "yum install xen" which resulted in a hung yum. So yes I have tried a number of things - but I did not find anything. Have a great day! Jerry

[CentOS5beta] kernel crash due to a known bug
by Akemi Yagi 14 Mar '07

14 Mar '07

After a successful installation of CentOS5 beta, I "successfully" crashed the system twice already. This is caused by a known bug in the cifs kernel module. The patch became available in January: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/sfrench/cifs-2.6.git;a=commit… FC5 and FC6 are running the patched kernel but, unfortunately, RHEL5 will not. Steve Dickson of RedHat says: "I will not be able to get these in the initial RHEL5 release, since that is currently lock down... very tightly... so I will try to get them in early in the 5.1 pool..." I am wondering...if it is possible for the CentOS team to apply the patch ahead of the upstream. Or I would have to wait for CentOS5.1? In that case, I will need to compile the cifs module with the patched file. Akemi

Hello My name is Lara Thynne and I am a PhD candidate at Deakin University Australia. I am currently researching the boundary between work and leisure activities directly related to the open source community and open source program development. As part of this I am running a survey at the following address. https://dcarf.deakin.edu.au/surveys/oss/ The survey is completely confidential and looks at your views and motivations to use Open Source software and to participate in the community. It will only take a five to ten minutes to complete and your contact details will not be recorded. You can withdraw your participation at any stage. I sincerely apologize for the spammish nature of this e-mail - I don't mean to abuse this list. I am trying to collect responses from as many open source developers and users as possible and a mailing list like can be the only way to reach many developers. Thanks again Lara P.S The program that I am using is open source, of course (www.phpsurveyor.org)

All the links in beta.centos.org give a: AccessDenied You are not authorized to access this page. Is there some place else where we can get a copy of the beta?

cat cron jobs into crontab
by Karl R. Balsmeier 13 Mar '07

Hi, What's the best/safest way to "cat" the following job into crontab? */3 * * * * /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_megaraid_passive.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 I am used to doing this manually via crontab -e, but now I simply have too many centos servers to build in a given week (get to toss another 120K at some more 2U chenbro/tyan/amd64's -w000ooo). -karlski

CentOS5 beta installed
by Akemi Yagi 13 Mar '07

13 Mar '07

I have just successfully installed CentOS5 beta from CDs. No major issues so far, but it is still too fresh to say anything. The machine I used is peculiar. By peculiar I mean it won't boot if I use grub (this is a long story by itself). So, I manually installed lilo to boot the system. The only problem is that I could not use kdump. It produced an error saying "No bootloader config file found". Since lilo is not supported by default, I would not call it a bug. But it will be great if I can monitor the system with kdump. Akemi

Oracle on NetApp
by Mindaugas 13 Mar '07

13 Mar '07

Hello, Anyone using or tested Oracle (OLTP load) on NetApp? Connected via Fibre Channel not NFS. Performance is good or should we better stay with "classic" SAN storage like HP EVA or similar boxes from EMC or Hitachi? In EMC test papers NetApp does not look good. In NetApp papers - vice versa. :) So I'm somewhat confused. I remember someone in this list saying that NetApp for databases gives poor performance. But I cannot find that post now. Thanks, Mindaugas
