Re: mplayer repository for CentOS
by Bryan J. Smith <b.j.smith＠ieee.org> 21 May '05

21 May '05

From: William Warren <hescominsoon(a)emmanuelcomputerconsulting.com> > considering the FUD fedora talks about mixing repositories. It's not FUD, it's an issue with Debian as well. >From what I've seen, for the most part, as long as you pick one or the other repository, you're okay. E.g., either DAG or FE+Lorg. One of the reasons for the greater Fedora Project (outside of the Fedora Core name change and trademark issues) was the continued sprawling of repositories. Fedora Extras was supposed to address this, but even I'll admit that it seemed a little too much "you're on your own" in the first 18 months of its existance. I.e., the former U of Hawaii Fedora Project didn't do much to help anyone but their own, existing project set, and the new Livna.ORG repository fork (for legal reasons). But as of this year, there is now a formal submittal process. And being a software engineer myself with a lot of experience in formal lifecycle and testing, I kinda prefer the quality I see out of Red Hat's regression and other testing. Maybe it's because I had horrors with FreshRPMS before I switched to Fedora.US (before Red Hat's involvement), and instantly saw many issues go away. But FE/Lorg seems to have everything I want. Only a couple times have I tapped DAG, and then I only did it temporarily in my APT/YUM files to avoid "repository mixing" issues anytime I did an upgrade later. BTW, just so everyone know, this e-mail was _not_ to argue the merits of "which repository is better / sucks." I was just interested in finding out if anyone is like me, tapping FE/Lorg, or if most everyone is just using DAG. That's all. I might try a few systems under test and see how it all goes. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

Software RAID CentOS4
by Gerald Waugh 21 May '05

21 May '05

Hi, I have a system with two IDE controllers running RAID1. As a test I powered down, removed one drive (hdc), and powered back up. System came up fine, so powered down installed a new drive (hdc) And powered back up. /proc/mdstat indicatd RAID1 active with hda only. I thought it would Auto add the new hdc drive... Also when I removed the new drive and added The original hdc, the swap partitions were active hda and hdc but only hda on the other partitions. I has to add the other hdc partitions with mdadm -a. My mdadm.conf looks like; # mdadm.conf written out by anaconda DEVICE partitions MAILADDR root ARRAY /dev/md1 super-minor=1 ARRAY /dev/md0 super-minor=0 ARRAY /dev/md3 super-minor=3 ARRAY /dev/md2 super-minor=2 Shouldn't there be more information for mdadm to work with? How do you replace a failed drive and have it auto-configured? TIA Gerald

Promise FastTrak series
by Steven Moix - Axianet.ch 21 May '05

21 May '05

Hello, In some weeks I'm going to reinstall some old RedHat9 based servers with Promise FastTrak TX2000 "semi-hardware" RAID1 controllers. I just tried to install CentOS 4.0 on a computer with a spare card and as usual both HDD attached to the RAID1 controller are seen separately by the installer because the specific driver for the TX2000 wasn't loaded. Nothing new here, it was always like this on every distro as far as I know. Now I googeled a bit and have some questions: 1. In some forums I could read that the FastTrak series in RAID mode wasn't supported anymore in the 2.6 kernel (was PDCRAID module in the later 2.4 kernels). Quoted apparently from the linux kernel mailing list: >>In 2.6, Promise software RAID support does not exist. In conversations >>with Promise, we all agreed to encourage and support the standard Linux >>RAID, md. So does this mean that I have to use software RAID in linux if I don't want to load the drivers provided by Promise (see question 2)? 2. On the other hand Promise provides the partial source code for their driver, but there is a silly problem with this...I want to install my OS directly on the RAID array :) So I guess that I would have to: - Install CentOS on another computer, compile the driver provided by Promise, make a driver disk (don't ask me how). - Boot CentOS on the server with the controller and type "linux dd" to load this driver disk. - Pray and correct bugs for the next 2 weeks. Is this the right way to go? Any feedback with FastTrak TX2000 or TX4000 controllers would be very welcome, let me know which solution you choosed. Thanks Steven

Car Performance Tuning
by Alex White 21 May '05

21 May '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 List, I googled on this, and despite getting some hits (due more to the terms performance and tuning I think than anything) I was unable to locate useful links for actual software. I'm seeking software that will run on CentOS (or really any linux install period) that will assist me in testing and tuning my vehicle. I'm involved in import racing and would like to glean as much information from my car as possible while making modifications. Any ideas?

Re: [CentOS] mplayer repository for CentOS

From: Adrian Coman <adi.coman(a)gmail.com> > Is there a CentOS yum repository for mplayer&dependencies? From: Ralph Angenendt <ra+centos(a)br-online.de> > http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/> I'm kinda curious. I'm typically tapping the Livna.ORG archives for RHEL3Ux/CentOS3.x (Fedora Core 1 repository) and RHEL4Ux/CentOS4.x (Fedora Core 3 repository) for MPlayer and a number of other programs that Livna.ORG provides. Nothing against DAG, but I typically like to use Fedora Extras/Livna.ORG first, unless I can't find something or have an issue. Does anyone else do this as well, or is DAG the preferred option among most? -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

i'm having a problem viewing logs on forwarded ports from the firewall to another server, i forwarded mail(port 25) from the firewall to an internal server. The problem is when i try to view the logs it just shows the firewall ip as the sender and not the original sender. -- Regards, Mark Quitoriano, CCNA http://www.atamanetworks.com
