Multi-homed faq or docs needed
by Michael Rock 11 May '05

11 May '05

I tried to implement a multi-homed box using this faq 4.2.1 split access http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html But it says table is invalid. Can someone tell me what the difference is in Centos? I assume the FAQ is leaving out how to add tables to the iproute files? I am trying to have eth0 and eth1 service two different subnets for apache and not act as a router. If I use redhat-network-config and set one or both with default gateways one side will not work. So I assume I need to create two routing table files? Can someone point me in the right direction or a better FAQ. thx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

MIrrored drives won't boot after installation
by Jerry Geis 11 May '05

11 May '05

On Cent OS 4 the very last screen says REBOOT. Before click that do CTRL-ALT_F2 and get a prompt. then enter the following commands. This will allow the software raid arrays to boot. grub find /boot/grub/stage1 device (hd0) /dev/hda root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) This is easier the setting up mdXXX commands after boot. Jerry

by israel.garcia＠cimex.com.cu 11 May '05

11 May '05

Helo, I've just installed a CentOS 4.0, postgress,iptables, ect.. on a P 4 Intel using sotf RAID 1 ...and everything is fine. I bought a HP DLT 40/80G tape device for being use as tape backup to my server. My questions are: 1. What you recomended me to use as a soft backUP. (amanda, dump/restore, TAR scipts, other)? 2. How can I backUP my entire filesystem ..(I mean everything using one the above software)? 3. What software can I use to put this data into my tape device (HP DLT 40/80 G).? 4. Is there only one software which do everything I want? NOTE: I am looking for some software which makes me a quick/easy backUP and quick/easy restore... thanks in advance israel

Dear all I had an issue on CentOS 4_64 with yum that I would like some input on. When running yum, the following errors appear: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 6, in ? import yummain File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 23, in ? import yum File "__init__.py", line 33, in ?

centos 4: java crashes on amd64
by Dario Lah 11 May '05

11 May '05

Anyone experiencing problems with java on amd64? Different versions of java are crashing after few minutes. Googling around reveals that problem is probably in JIT. Disabling JIT makes it unusable (slow) but it doesn't crash. Fix anyone? Hint? Regards, Dario

Ahhh, thanx for the insight. I never liked their use of lackluster i960 33MHz and 66MHz parts. You're lucky if you get 60MBps out of them. -----Original Message----- From: Harald Finnï¿½s <spamcatcher(a)lantrix.no> Sent: May 10, 2005 3:55 PM To: CentOS mailing list <centos(a)centos.org> Subject: Re: [CentOS] Hardware RAID Controller centos-bounces(a)centos.org wrote on 10.05.2005 22:44:54: > Well, that's because 98% of Promise's products sold are FRAID > (Fake/Free RAID). The card I had in mind was the "real" RAID cards, i.e the SX6000. It was ok while RH8 was the standard and you didn't need to compile a new kernel (ie. you could use the Promise-supplied driver disks). They also had driver source for 2.4 which worked ok as long as you booted from another device and loaded the driver as a module. And actually, the SX6000 worked with the I2O drivers for a little while with a patch supplied by Alan Cox, but after a few kernel updates I gave up on it. I was in contact with Promise support about one year ago, and they told me that they had 2.6 drivers in beta, and that they would inform me when it became available. Needless to say, there's still no 2.6 drivers posted on their download pages. Well, enough bitchin for now... :) Regards, Harald -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

From: Harald Finnï¿½s <spamcatcher(a)lantrix.no> > Promise is crap with Linux in general, > and they really don't support linux at all... Well, that's because 98% of Promise's products sold are FRAID (Fake/Free RAID). They are a "regular" ATA controller slapped with a 16-bit "trick BIOS." That system has the RAID code needed as long as OS is only accessing 16-bit BIOS Int13h Disk Services. The second a 32-bit OS loads, it sees the "raw" disks and doesn't understand them. That's where the 100% _software_ driver comes in, it emulates the volume for the 32-bit OS. Since all of that RAID code -- typically licensed from the same company by _all_ of the countless FRAID/mainboard-FRAID vendors out there -- it can't be GPL. Hence why FRAID products don't have GPL drivers. Except for the 'independent' GPL "ataraid.c" FRAID logic, and the reverse engineered "hptraid.c", "pdcraid" and "silraid.c" companion 'interface' GPL drivers. Of course, there is *0* guarantee those non-vendor implementations will work. I've seen people try to use them and toast their entire volume. _Real_hardware_ RAID cards completely hide the disks from the system. I.e., the system _never_ talks directly to the hard drives, but an intelligent microcontroller or ASIC. The "RAID Brains" is on the card, and the microcontroller or ASIC actually executes that code -- not your main CPU. The driver is then just a simple block driver to send data to/from the host system to the on-board intelligence. Hence why the drivers are typically GPL, there's little to them other than a basic, block SCSI driver. No RAID logic is ever exposed in the kernel driver. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

Just make sure the firmwares are the same for each model or expect issues with drivers. > After a few other comments I was thinking of trying 2 x RAID-1's. Why not a 4-drive RAID-0+1? It's far better to do it on a single card. Unless you are thinking of (2) RAID-1, each on their own PCI-X channel, and then a RAID-0 LVM2 stripe across them? In reality, you're really gotta get up to 8 drives in RAID-0+1 before you're going to saturate the 0.5GBps 64-bit @ 66MHz PCI bus. And in all the 1U systems I've seen, I've only seen a maximum of (2) PCI-X channels. You'll want to use one dedicated to your NIC. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

Re: [CentOS] alias keeps changing (fwd)

To respond to my own post I think I found it at this link under "4.2.1 split access" and hope it applies to Redhat. http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html If I reboot I assume I need to create a shell script to automatically add these changes back? --- Michael Rock <mikerocks65(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > Thanks.
