CSGFS repository not up-to-date?
by Jay Leafey 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

Let me QUICKLY say I'm not complaining here, but is the csgfs repository not being actively maintained? The Red Hat ftp site has much newer versions available than what is currently in the CentOS csgfs repo, at least for the kernel modules. Should I just go ahead and rebuild them from the SRPMs myself, or is this an unintended condition? This has been holding me up from upgrading to the -4.0.3 kernel. It's not a critical problem, but I'd like to keep current if possible. Thanks! -- Jay Leafey - Memphis, TN jay.leafey(a)mindless.com

USB disk dropping out under light load
by Simen Thoresen 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

Hi all, I'm running a pretty updated CentOS4 x86_64 server (Still on kernel 2.6.9-42.0.2, but appart from that fully up to date against the official repos) with a USB-disk attached (the USB-disk is a 750G Seagate disk in a Seagate enclosure) over a USB hub. I've noticed several times that after longish periods of activity, the disk drops out (log from last time, below). In this case, the disk activity was generated by running two bittorrent-clients (ie random access r/w patterns) fed by an 2Mbps connection (ie ~200kB/s datarate). I've been able to use the drive for copying multi-GB file-trees from the main disks (it's part of a backup project), so the failure below seems strange, and not related to traffic.

After repowering the disk again, it seems happy, and fsck passes without comments, and restarting the torrent-clients works well, so the data on the disk is at least reasonably intact. Does anyone here have similar experiences or does anyone use USB-disks for any extended period of time? Yours, -S -- Simen Thoresen, Dolphin ICS

request for optimum setup configuration
by Raghavendra Moktali 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

hi, I am required to take text/doc files uploaded to a share/directory in a static ip, do some processing on this queue, convert the file format and save the results in a directory for it to be downloaded (or I could upload the same to another share/folder in another static ip). volume of files is about 1-5 files/second of about 50KB to 100KB each and the converting and delivery has to be in near real time. The actual conversion is on external systems on a seperate subnet and this planned server is for just handling the input and output automatically. I do not know yet if i can use a vpn as the server that provides the data allows this or not. I had planned to put up a centos 4.4 based secure ftp server with two diretories one for incomming files and other for completed, both password protected. the access to the directory will be limited to the ip addresses that are using this facility with iptables. Static IP | Firewall------(public ftp) | (private network 192.168.xx)doing the actual sork | could someone with more experience than me (read newbie) comment or suggest a better approach than the one above or point out security issues as the data must be secured at all costs. Thanks for your time. -- rm

Problems with yum/rpm and %pre scriptlet error 255
by James B. Byrne 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

I am running xen (2.6.16-xen3_86.1_rhel4.1) on top of a stock CentOS-4.4 installation. I have not added any additional virtual machines however. When trying to install (as root) acrobat reader 7 for Linux from the adobe rpm (AdobeReader_enu.i386 7.0.8-1) I get the following errors: error: %pre(AdobeReader_enu-7.0.8-1.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping AdobeReader_enu-7.0.8-1 This occurs whether I use yum or rpm directly to effect installation and whether or not setenforce is 0 or 1 for SELinux. I have looked for similar errors on google but none of the remedies that I have found there seem to work (turning selinux off, using rpm --replacepackages --replacefiles options). Does anyone here have any ideas that they care to share regarding what is likely the problem or how to fix it? Sincerely, -- James B.

noarch concerns? dangers?
by R Lists06 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

Please share some wisdom from the list... :-) Realistically there is some type of difference between an rpm made for an arch (like i386 or x86_64 etc) vrs an rpm with noarch I was just looking at and downloaded these two from dag perl-Archive-Tar-1.30-1.el4.rf.noarch.rpm perl-IO-Zlib-1.04-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm they are the latest and are not assigned to an architecture there are older rpms of the same that are assigned an arch like i386 what concerns should I be aware of if any when considering installing these? Or should I just choose an older one with i386 etc architecture in mind? Unit to install on is production internet mail and web server etc Thanks and kind regards! - rh -- Robert - Abba Communications Computer & Internet Services (509) 624-7159 - www.abbacomm.net

Just out of curiosity what sort of backup speeds do you get to a single LTO3 drive?. I seem to struggle to get anything above 60-70MB/s. Dean.

best repo for perl-IO-Zlib perl-Archive-Tar
by R Lists06 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

With all due respect to the various people, their hard work and associated repos, where is the best place to do a yum install for these two packages below in regards to an internet facing production Centos 4.4 server perl-IO-Zlib perl-Archive-Tar I noticed dag and karan repos appear to have it and my experience and research tells me that using CPAN is not an option for possible problems at times (no disrespect intended) background: spamassassin and sa-update sa-update complains about Can't locate Archive/Tar.pm in @INC etc etc blah research showed that it *appears* they are in fedora core "core" yet evidentally not in the upstream "core"??? thanks and kind regards, - rh -- Robert - Abba Communications Computer & Internet Services (509) 624-7159 - www.abbacomm.net
