A BIG Thank You
by John Hinton 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

Seeing the latest round of updates rolling in.... I just 'again' felt the need to say "Hats Off" (pun intended) to the CentOS team! The organization very much behind the scenes is not apparent, but very much must exist. It almost looks like there is an 'internal' competition between members, each trying to roll out the updates faster than the other. I know this must be a bit of a grueling task and one that interrupts the day's activities. Again, GREAT job folks!!! And a big THANKS!! John Hinton

samba in centosplus
by Farkas Levente 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

hi, it'd be useful to include the latest stable samba packages in the centosplus, since samba.org do not build binaries for rhel just for old redhat and fedora releases. yours. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

multipath failover
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

I got a chance to play a bit with new device-mapper-multipath. Unless I missed something obvios, docs seems to still be in the making. Could somebody point me to some docs for /etc/multipath.conf file? Couple of questions (I have very limited time I'll have access to hardware, sorry if I'm asking some obvious stuff). I managed to get things working by typing "multipath" from command line (the device in /dev/mapper created and working OK). However if I start using the device (create file system, mount it, do some I/O on it), and than unplug active path, after short delay I get failover to secondary path. However, by that time ext3 device driver decides something went wrong with the journal, and file system goes to read-only mode. I can unmount it and mount it again rw, but, hm, that's not why I have multiple paths. Any way around this? Is it possible to have root file system on multipathed device? Asking for support for that in Anaconda is probably too much to ask, but is it possible to do it by little manual work? Many many thanks for any followups, Aleksandar Milivojevic ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

Fwd: [Rpm-devel] rpm-4.4.3-0.34 for CentOS3
by James Olin Oden 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

If anyone would like to help test the latest RPM on Centos 3, heres your chance. There are several new features that are not mentioned in Jeff's email, but as he said he wants to make sure it does no harm more than anything else. As an example though, this version supports: - runtime depedency checking (think of being able to have cpan modules that weren't installed by rpm being detected, or crazy dependency like requires a particular processor of a particular stepping). - autorollback patches are worked in (this is still in progress and experimental, but, 4.4.3 will be the first official release of rpm with the latest autorollback code). There are other features add also, and of course many fixes. Cheers and Enjoy...james ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jeff Johnson <jbj(a)jbj.org> Date: Nov 3, 2005 5:47 PM Subject: [Rpm-devel] rpm-4.4.3-0.34 for CentOS3 To: RPM internals development and distro coordination <rpm-devel(a)lists.dulug.duke.edu> I've compiled rpm-4.4.3-0.34 against CenTOS3. There is a yum repository with the necessary packages at http://wraptastic.org/pub/i386-CentOS3-linux/RPMS Note that these packages are compiled with --with-mutex=UNIX/fcntl. If you are wrestling with NPTL issues and rpm databases, then these packages will almost certainly help. Also note that I firmly believe that NPTL -- with unified thread and process locks -- is the best and most general choice for rpmdb locking. There are still uses for fcntl locking with, say, build trees for - NPTL legacy linux systesm, like rpmforge, and perhaps others, are doing, where fcntl locking is a far saner choice than posix mutexes because of the mixed +/-NPTL environment. Any/all help checking the CentOS3 rpm-4.4.3-0.34 is appreciated. I'm mainly interested in verifying rpm-4.4.3-0.34 does no harm. on CentOS3 (and RHL9) rather than testing of new features. Report bugs (and successes please ;-) at http://bugzilla.redhat.com or here on rpm-devel list. Enjoy! 73 de Jeff _______________________________________________ Rpm-devel mailing list Rpm-devel(a)lists.dulug.duke.edu https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/rpm-devel

RE: [CentOS] mail() function in php
by Drew Weaver 04 Nov '05

You can only specify a remote SMTP server for PHP to use in Windows versions of PHP according to the .ini file. So you would need to have sendmail running the client queue in order to process the outgoing messages. -Drew -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of JC Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2005 4:40 PM To: centos(a)centos.org Subject: [CentOS] mail() function in php Hi again, I just wonder if I need to setup email server (postfix,qmail,sendmail) in order to use mail() function in php?

I don't see any bug reports. Are you guys just managing your bandwidth or something? Not that I'm in any big rush or anything. Best, John Hinton

CentOS for axp and sparc arch (info)
by Pasi Pirhonen 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Hi, I have initiated discussion about arch specific list at least twice among out core people to no avail, so i did make something i can do about it and created few list on host that i do admin myself. The reason for this is that this list is far too high traffic for most of discussion. I've personally received questions about arch specific lists as this is just too high traffic and people has just unsubscribed from this. http://upi.iki.fi/mailman/listinfo/ I don't make any promises about how long those lists are hosted, but i try to keep those forever. Hope this makes some progress on discussion about problems with these 'out of mainstream' arches. -- Pasi Pirhonen - upi(a)iki.fi - http://iki.fi/upi/
