slow system
by Craig White 16 Jan '07

16 Jan '07

I have a server that is running slowly and I think it's because of my stupidity - it's running CentOS 3.8 I have software RAID level 1 and the mirrored drives are the master & slave on the primary controller and I'm thinking that is my mistake. Is there a simple method for changing the configuration of md before I switch the slave drive to be the slave on the secondary controller? Craig

piranha lvsd "cluster" status: how?
by Rui Miguel Silva Seabra 15 Jan '07

15 Jan '07

Hi, I've got a couple of machines acting as directors with service=lvs Is there something similar to 'clustat' for pulse+lvsd? I need this in order to make our monitorization scripts "cluster-aware", or else one node will have critical status when there are less nannies than it expected because the services ran over to the other node. Thanks in advance, Rui -- + No matter how much you do, you never do enough -- unknown + Whatever you do will be insignificant, | but it is very important that you do it -- Gandhi + So let's do it...?

CentOS 4.4 on mini-itx
by Tom Diehl 15 Jan '07

15 Jan '07

Hi, I have a EPIA mini-itx board that I have been running Fedora 4 on. I want to install CentOS 4.4 on it since FC4 is no longer supported. The install goes fine but when I reboot the machine after the install I get errors like the following: hda:<4>hda: dma_timer_Expiry : dma status == 0x21 There are other errors about not being able to access the disk and eventually the kernel panics. The disk is a 4 gig compact flash. I used a 1 gig chip for FC4 so I know the thing will run from a flash chip. Does anyone have any idea how to get this to work? Is there a way to turn off dma? Has anyone else tried this? Regards, -- Tom Diehl tdiehl(a)rogueind.com Spamtrap address mtd123(a)rogueind.com

RHCS on CentOS4 - 2 node cluster problem
by Alexander Dalloz 15 Jan '07

15 Jan '07

Hello fellows, I have a problem with a 2 node RHCS cluster (CentOS 4) where node 1 failed and node 2 became active. That happened already last year and due to holidays the customer didn't recognize it. The cluster is just a failover for Apache and has no shared storage space. Customer now saw the situation, tried to fix it by rebooting node 1, which then failed to come back up. As service ccsd started but couldn't get full cluster information the followup service cman hangs forever - bootup hangs in this state. Omitting cluster service starts at boot time by being selective (boot parameter confirm) brings up the box. ccsd starts up (by service or by hand and with parameter -n), but syslogs that it fails to get cluster infrastructure information. So the cluster is in inquorate state. Anyone experienced with the RHCS knows whether I can avoid switching down node 2 and the Apache service for which the cluster runs? Documentation (manual and FAQ) is silent about this. I verified that there is no network / NIC problem. How to get the 2 node cluster back into quorate state? Thanks for helping. Cheers Alexander

Anybody using NetCell raid controller on CentOS 4?
by Paul 15 Jan '07

Is anybody using NetCell raid controllers on CentOS 4? The pricing is pretty nice on these, I know they support only raid-3, but for a home mythtv box they would seem to be good. Paul

VMWare GSX Server and CentOS
by Joshua Gimer 15 Jan '07

15 Jan '07

Has anyone had experience (good or bad) with VMWare GSX Server running CentOS as a VM under high load? Here is the situation. We are planning on rolling out some new boxes to replace an existing box. Currently this box (Sun V860) is running web services, database services, mail for students, and is an instructional box for compiling code, and web scripting among other things. We are planning on doing one of two things, either using VMWare and splitting up the services or using Solaris Zones. The box(s) has to be able to access data stored on the SAN (Fiber Channel HBA's). The boxes(VM's), or Zones would be split up accordingly: Database box: Oracle, Postgres, and MySQL Mail: Sendmail, POPS, and IMAPS (roughly 25,000 mailboxes) Web: Apache, PHP, mod_ssl Interactive Logins: Compilers and such. Any information about any experiences with VMWare and CentOS, under similar load would be helpful. I will probably make this same post on the Sun Solaris Mailing List, and VMWare's forums. Thanks in advance! -- Thx Joshua Gimer
