Latest Plus Kernel include MD RAID-1 BIO_RW_SYNC patch?
by Ross S. W. Walker 24 Feb '07

24 Feb '07

I am inquiring on the list if anybody knows if the latest plus kernel includes the fixes for MD RAID-1 where it didn't pass down the BIO_RW_SYNC flag on cloned bios. This bug was discovered in December by the DRBD project and patches were posted by Lars Ellenberg from that project to the LKM which were then merged into the 2.6.19 kernel. The bug causes severe performance penalties for applications that use the BIO_RW_SYNC flag on block requests. The fix is a simple 2 to 4 line change where it ORs the sync flag on the cloned bios. If it isn't in the plus kernel, how would one go about putting a request to have it included? Thanks, Ross S. W.

Re: Centos package to export to eps format
by James B. Byrne 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

I tried the ps2pdf and pdf2epsi route and fared no better. I clearly do not have a good grasp of what I need so I will give some more background. I recently installed the avantfax web client for hylafax. I have this working on an SELinux enabled server (despite claims on the project's website to the contrary) over https. I want to customize the cover sheet called cover.ps. According to the project instructions one may accomplish this in the following manner: ---> How-to Make A Custom Cover Page The included cover page file, cover.ps, was created with the XXXX- values and then exported to an Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file with the fonts included. Also, the EPS file has been converted to UNIX format. I replaced all of the ^M characters with \n using this command: $ perl -p -i.old -e 's/\015/\n/g' cover.eps $ rm -f cover.eps.old $ mv cover.eps cover.ps Here are some example values of what the resulting PostScript file will look like. $ grep XXXX cover.ps 0 0 32 0 0 (To \/ Company: XXXX-to-company) ts 0 0 32 0 0 (Fax number: XXXX-to-fax-number) ts 0 0 32 0 0 (Date: XXXX-todays-date) ts 0 0 32 0 0 (From: XXXX-from) ts The beginning and ending of the line does not matter. The faxcover program will search and replace the "XXXX-" values. When you're done, you must replace the cover.ps file located in the images directory of your AvantFAX installation. <--- Now. I have a standard fax cover sheet in OOo .otd format that I have altered to contain the fields XXXX-to-company, XXXX-from-fax-number, etc. I want to turn this into an encapsulated .ps format as required above. What I am getting however is not TEXT but apparently pre-imaged printer pages. How to I get an .eps file that preserves the XXXX-fields as text in the .eps file so that the avantfax send generator can do the substitutions? -- James B.

Centos package to export to eps format
by James B. Byrne 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

Is there a package available in the CentOS repos that will convert either a MicroSoft Word .doc, an OOo .otd, or an Acrobat .pdf file into eps format? If so, what is its name? If not, What not CentOS packages are available (if any) and recommended to accomplish this? Regards -- James B.

iSCSI, windows, & local linux access
by Andrew Cotter 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

Hello all, I am looking to build a larger array (6TB) using CentOS 4.4 to archive data to. We want to have the Windows server mount this array as a local drive so we were looking at iSCSI to do it. I have played with it in the past and gotten it to work in this combo, but I have a question about access to the data on the local (Centos) machine. If I understand correctly, when I mount the device on windows, I need to format the array in a format that Windows (2003 server) can understand. Also, iSCSI only allows you to mount the array on one server at a time. Once I do that and write files to this array, is there anyway to access those files from the local machine (Centos)? I may want to do things like rsync to another location, copy files to another removable SATA disk, or just plain delete something. Is it a choice of the OS so both windows and linux can read it? Little help with which one then. I know NTFS is still somewhat in its infancy. Any thoughts would be much appreciated! Andrew

SiI 3114 and RAID
by Florin Andrei 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

I've two machines with almost identical hardware (slightly different CPUs). The SATA/RAID controller is SiI 3114. One of the servers was installed a while ago by someone else, it's running Fedora Core 5 and RAID is enabled: # df -m Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/dm-6 125931 2990 116441 3% / /dev/dm-1 99 13 81 14% /boot tmpfs 1012 0 1012 0% /dev/shm /dev/dm-2 9917 151 9254 2% /tmp /dev/dm-3 9917 237 9168 3% /var # cat /etc/modprobe.conf | tail -n 1 alias scsi_hostadapter sata_sil I installed CentOS 4.4 64bit on the other system, but I could not enable RAID. The installer was always seeing 2 separate drives instead of one RAID device. Was it my mistake? Did I not enable the proper settings in the BIOS? (I tried quite a few different settings) Or is it perhaps that the CentOS kernel does not have the proper drivers to support SiI 3114 in RAID mode? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

RTL8169S-32 card
by Eduardo Grosclaude 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

Hello, I am building a DRBD cluster with CentOS 4.4. Both nodes have RTL8169S-32 cards, Pheenet branded. I'm getting no more than 185 Mbps with the driver selected at installation (r8169). Downloading Realtek's r1000 climbs to some amazing 200Mbps. I am measuring performance with iperf, host to host, with a cat5e direct cable some 2.5ft long. Maybe disk I/O will be the bottleneck in my use case but anyway I feel performance is well under par with this cards. Is something wrong in my measuring setup? Am I right in expecting more speed? Has anyone had this same experience? Resources to compatible Gbps cards? Thanks! -- Eduardo Grosclaude Universidad Nacional del Comahue Neuquen, Argentina
