File Descriptors
by Matt 27 Jan '07

27 Jan '07

I installed Squid on CentOS 4.4 and currently it seems to run fine even under the relatively heavy load of 6mbps and hundreds of users. I was told I should increase the file descriptor limit which I beleive is 1024 now. Any easy way to do that? Matt

Drive Failing
by Mike Kercher 27 Jan '07

27 Jan '07

I got an email from smartd yesterday with the following error: SMART Health Status: SERVO IMPENDING FAILURE SEEK ERROR RATE TOO HIGH [asc=5d,ascq=43] I understand this means the drive is probably going to fail. This device is /dev/sda and is part of /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 Is it possible to replace the single failing drive and if so, what would be the steps so that data isn't lost. TIA for any guidance. Mike

ISA Support in CentOS 4.4?
by Eric B. 27 Jan '07

27 Jan '07

Hi, I'm trying to get my ISA modem to work on CentOS 4.4, but I am having trouble. I have a stock installation of the CentOS 4.4, and did a yum upgrade to ensure everything is the latest, however, I can't seem to detect or see the ISA modem. I remember back in the 2.2 kernel days, the need for isapnptools, however, from what I read that is supposed to already be included in the 2.6 kernel. When I check the /proc directory, I don't see a /proc/isa or /proc/isapnp that I would have expected to find. I am relatively sure that the modem is a real modem (not a winmodem), but I don't understand why I can't even seem to locate it anywhere. I have manually set the jumpers on the modem to Com1, but that hasn't helped any either. Is the stock 2.6.9-42.EL kernel compiled with ISA support? Do i need to rebuild the kernel by hand? Is there anything I need to do to enable ISA support in CentOS4.4? If I do need to rebuild the kernel, what Thanks! Eric

Centos 4.4 perl modules. where are they?
by Erick Perez 27 Jan '07

27 Jan '07

I need to install VICIDIAL (cause is a free outbound call solution) and vicidial wants the following perl modules: MD5 Digest::MD5 Digest::SHA1 readline Bundle::CPAN DBI (found the rpm perl-DBI) DBD::mysql (found the RPM perl-DBD-Mysql) Net::Telnet Time::HiRes Net::Server OLE::Storage_Lite Spreadsheet::ParseExcel I do not want to taint the installation if an RPM is available on the DVD or in centos extras/plus. How can I check what RPM will provide such perl modules? thanks in advance. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Erick Perez Panama Sistemas Integradores de Telefonia IP y Soluciones Para Centros de Datos Panama, Republica de Panama Cel Panama. +(507) 6694-4780 ------------------------------------------------------------

RE: [CentOS] Problems with building a complete kernel
by Mark Hull-Richter 27 Jan '07

27 Jan '07

I haven't actually made any changes to the kernel yet - I need a working build, hopefully one that matches my current installation, but a working build to start. (Otherwise I won't know if the kernel I'm running and one I've modified contain anything I don't know about....) I used the config that the installed version had as my base, and I don't think I changed anything. I ran make menuconfig and set the version to something different, then ran make oldconfig to see what changes were needed (none), then built. In theory, if lvm support was in the installed kernel, it should have built into my new one, right? I'll be making a minor mod to xfs first, then there's a device driver we want to add (I think). I got a ton of "attempt to assign to nonexistent symbol" notices after exiting make menuconfig - I'm assuming that these are harmless.

Build your kernel with lvm support. It sounds like you're changing far more than you need to in the config. If you follow the how-to on the centos wiki, you'd only be changing the things you need to, and all else will stay the same. This keeps you from running into things like you're experiencing. Again, are you certain you need to rebuild? What feature is it that you need? -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

Microsoft makes hard call for input
by kenkensmile＠netscape.net 26 Jan '07

26 Jan '07

hi all, you might be interested in this article. cheers, joe A Sydney software engineer has been embroiled in a controversy in which Microsoft stands accused of trying to use him as a paid proxy to finesse entries on the Wikipedia site. Doug Mahugh, Microsoft "technical evangelist", emailed the engineer, Rick Jelliffe, on Monday, hoping to use Mr Jelliffe's expertise to modify a number of technical articles in the online encyclopedia. Mr Jelliffe holds an economics degree from the University of Sydney and is chief technical officer at Topologi, a Pyrmont software company. But the Microsoft approach has been interpreted as an attempt to disguise its hand in the editing process. Wikipedia allows anyone to add to and modify articles, and relies on volunteer moderators to correct inaccuracies. But Microsoft has rejected suggestions it was being sneaky or underhanded by approaching Mr Jelliffe. In the email to Mr Jelliffe, which Mr Mahugh has since published online, Mr Jelliffe was asked if he would be interested in correcting "errors" and "slanted language" found in Wikipedia entries relating to rival computer software standards, one of which was developed by Microsoft. The email encouraged Mr Jelliffe to disclose his deal with Microsoft in his blog, and reassured him that Microsoft did not have to approve any of the Wikipedia edits before they were made. Mr Jelliffe's disclosure of the offer on his blog sparked a flurry of criticism. He denied he was pro-Microsoft. "Full disclosure was part of the deal! I wouldn't have been interested otherwise," he wrote. Mr Jelliffe has refused to add to his published comments. A Microsoft spokeswoman, Catherine Brooker, said no money had changed hands, but did not say whether the contract had been withdrawn. source http://www.theage.com.au/news/biztech/microsoft-makes-hard-call-for-input/2… ________________________________________________________________________ Check Out the new free AIM(R) Mail -- 2 GB of storage and industry-leading spam and email virus protection.
