Compaq Alpha ES45 system with 4 CPUs: OK with CentOS ?
by Rob 26 Sep '06

26 Sep '06

Hi, >From a friend I got a Compaq Alpha ES45 system with 4 CPUs. Also he gave me the CentOS-Alpha installation CDs. The CDs are probably recent, but I'm not sure; they have following kernels in the RPMS directory: kernel-2.6.9-34.EC.alpha.rpm kernel-smp-2.6.9-34.EC.alpha.rpm kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.80.alpha.rpm (Is this then an up-to-date installation CD set?). My main question is: can I install CentOS on this system with these CDs, and will it install "out-of-the-box"? Main concern is the 4 CPUs in this system. Will the kernel-smp RPM automagically activate and use all 4 CPUs? This is the first time for me to install on an Alpha system. Any help on this respect is highly appreciated. Thank you! Rob. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Slightly OT: Cron for Logrotate and Squid
by karl＠klxsystems.net 26 Sep '06

26 Sep '06

Howdy list, Hey does anyone know what the best cron job is to call logrotate to run the squid logrotations? -Or the subscribe address for a squid or logrotate mailing list (can't seem to find anything other than the usual MARC archives). I have this in /etc/logrotate.conf # rotate log files daily, they get too big otherwise, another story. daily # keep 8 weeks worth of backlogs e.g. 60 days rotate 8 # create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones create # No way, don't compress on a busy cache box, too much load. #compress # Rotate logs for specific daemons here: include /etc/logrotate.d ############################################## I have this in /etc/logrotate.d/squid /var/log/squid/access.log { daily rotate 60 copytruncate #compress notifempty missingok # same for the other two squid logs # This script asks squid to rotate its logs on its own. # Restarting squid is a long process and it is not worth # doing it just to rotate logs postrotate /usr/sbin/squid -k rotate endscript } ################################################ and it's been suggested to do this in Cron, but it *does not* look right and is the part i'm most concerned about, I drew it slightly out of context from here: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bandwidth-Limiting-HOWTO/faq.html It's the rm -f statement I worry about. #SQUID - logrotate 01 4 * * * root /opt/squid/bin/squid -k rotate; /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf; /bin/rm -f /var/log/squid/*.log.0 #################################################################### Basically don't want to restart the squid daemon on my cache servers because it's just too too nasty of a proposition. Any suggestions for the proper way to call logrotate from Cron with regard to squid in particular? -karl

Epiphany?
by Steve Bergman 26 Sep '06

26 Sep '06

Is there an official epiphany rpm for RHEL4/Centos4? I know that in the release announcements for RHEL4 beta2 epiphany 1.4 was specifically mentioned as included. But epiphany seems not to be in any of the standard repos or in dag. Thanks, Steve

RE: [CentOS] Missing dependencies
by Paul Malinowski 26 Sep '06

26 Sep '06

Todd, From my experience I can bet that there is only one or two packages which are source of all problems. a) Try to upgrade yum first. b) try to remove and install again php (copy config files if you have edit them) You can also force upgrade, but that's not recommended (perhaps there is major reason why you have that problems) >> And how do you think it got so out of date? Out of sync? It's hard to say. Keep a track on most importent packages on your system.

centosplus kernel upgrade
by rado 26 Sep '06

26 Sep '06

the upgrade itself is fine...no problems but I am confused about 1 thing. In order for yum to it's thing w/out updating the kernal, I put this: "exclude=kernel". I put this line in every division of /etc/yum.repos.d. i.e. Base, Updates, Addons, etc. my question is: I don't really know the proper way to exclude. thx John Rose

I burned the CD and tried it out. There are two utilities on the CD for Seagate drives, but unless I am missing something, neither of them have any diagnostic capability. -- Bowie
