I forgot to add to my previous post, that I too have a Samsung monitor. Look
into newer drivers for the gfx-card first.

Did you configure the bonding like it should be? Cause configuring a 
loadbalanced bonding (which I suppose you're using) is not at all an easy 
task.

For example if you are using rr bonding the switch where the nfsserver is 
connected to has to channel the ports the nfs-server is connected to. And 
much more.

I would recheck bonding. Test how fast it is with only one nic in the bond and 
the like. But first of all read the bonding.txt which comes along with the 
kernel-docs or can be found here:
http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt

[CentOS] Windows XP fixmbr from Centos?

[Robert Moskowitz]

I am still dead on my corporate system, and the XP boot CD I brought 
won't boot.  And so far I have not found anyone here at the IETF meeting 
that happens to have one in their bag of tricks...


So I found instructions on doing this in Ubuntu:

http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/01/15/how-to-fix-your-windows-mbr-with-an-ubuntu-livecd/


I have my Centos install CD 1 of 6 that gets me into rescue.  Is it able 
to fix my mbr?


Problem I have with the above instructions (of course I have not tried 
them as I would have to burn the Ubuntu live CD), is I cannot write 
anything to the harddrive to store a program to fix the drive (at least 
that is my reading of the instructions).  I suppose I can put a USB 
drive on the system to hold any temp thing?

If this is an XP system and the MBR set by XP, then you can boot with the 
(any!) XP CD/DVD into the rescue console and use fixmbr command. However, 
you indicated earlier there is some encryption in place, I don't know if 
that is already in effect at MBR level. If it is, this method or the one 
mentioned in the article won't help.

I am running CentOS 5.2 x86_64, kernel 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5.nx (the nx
means this is the stock CentOS 5.2 kernel plus NTFS read/write
compiled in), nvidia driver version 173.14.09.

Still does not work.  The boot screen, anaconda screens and boot
progress screens and the login screen are all 1680x1050.  But when I
log in, I get the message "analog (d-sub)" fom the monitor, and the
gdm screen is 1280x1024, no matter what else I do.  My xorg.conf now
only has the one mode in it (1680x1050), but that doesn't work, and
system-config-display will change it to 1680x1050, but it doesn't
stick.

I used to be able to fool s-c-d into using a generic CRT, but that
doesn't work any more - ithe LCD 1680x1050 seems to stick, just not
GNOME's ability to use it.

There has to be some little thing I'm missing here - is there any old
setting file I need to remove or anything like that?  I uninstalled
the nfidia driver from dkms and removed all related files that I could
find.

Yoik.

Don't forget to install yum-utils (if not already done) and set
priorities for the repos you use. This will keep the additional repos
components from overwriting base components.

All that I've read on the lists here indicates that the plus kernel is
safe for production. IIRC, it just has some stuff configured in that is
not configured by upstream.

regarding rpmrepo, we are still in infancy otherwise I'd say go on
submit the packages there! I'm sure many people will find your
packages useful!

At rpmrepo we did some serious thinking about how to please bleeding
edge *and* conservative users by offering different repo cuts that are
controlled by tagging (for example the conservative packaged R would
get a different tag than a more recent possibly incompatible or broken
version of it and the repo creation scripts would use that tag to
distinguish repo assignment).

We are not there yet, so as others have advised try submitting to the
merging-into-rpmrepo repos (too many "r"s, I guess :), and they will
land into rpmrepo eventually (with you as a maintainer). Or create
your own repo. Contact me off-list if you need online space.

You (and others, of course) can also help lifting rpmrepo into
production status by joining the mailing lists. We must admit that we
have been on hiatus for a while, but it's time to move on and anyone's
energy invested in there is greatly appreciated!

In a nutshell: Please submit your packages to one of the merging
repos, or setup your own and merge later into repmrepo yourself.

About that generic CRT, have you by any chance tried generic lcd instead?

Was your system fully updated? Can't recall if you mentioned this. Per chance
you're missing some updated gnome-stuff?

[CentOS] Login Feature

[Tom Browder]

I asked one of my team mates to evaluate centos 5.2 as a more stable
distro for our business use than Fedora which we have used for years.

His main objection so far has been the lack of a neat feature of
recent Fedoras (at least since 7) that allows a user to login as
himself if the screen is locked by another user (a switch user
feature).

Is that feature available or is it planned?

Thanks.

[CentOS] enterprise backup solution (probably amanda?)

[David Hláčik]

Hello guys,

hope i am not making an offtopic

Currently we are looking for storage/backup solution in our company.

Basically we need to backup data incrementaly from windows server and centos
server + subversion repositories.

So far i believe amanda would be best for this situation and also has good
reference.

Is there anything else - i would be glad to have space for research and
choose backuping solution which fits for my needs best.

Thanks in advance!

EXTRAS. CentOS EXTRAS for xfs. No need to enable centosplus for it.

Use CentOS extras *and* the "normal" kernel.

To change the number of server processes edit /etc/sysconfig/nfs,
remove the # from the line:

#RPCNFSDCOUNT=8

and increase the number 8.

Re: [CentOS] slow NFS speed

[Ross S. W. Walker]

70-80MB/s is good for NFS/CIFS networking given the 4k block size and network 
latency.

It's not the MB/s driven by your storage system that get you it's the IOPS 
throttled by the network latency and two-way communication over it.

Subject: [CentOS] slow NFS speed

We upgraded from a 10/100Mbs to a 2 100/1000 bonding. We notice the
speeds of NFS to be around 70-80Mb/sec. Which is slow, especially with
bonding. I was wondering if we need to tune anything special with the
Network and NFS. Does anyone have any experience with this?

That's totally different then, 80MBytes/second is very fast.
What kind of storage is behind the NFS?

Run iostat -x 1 100 on the server while your doing the test.
Look at the last column, what's the reading?

In my experience the typical I/O size for requests is in the
20kB range, in which case a 10k RPM disk will run at about
2.2-2.5MBytes/second(before latency spikes). Depends what your
transferring though. Cache of course can mask this to some
degree.

If your using gigE across the board you may be able to
get more performance by using 9k jumbo frames. Though I
would only use jumbo frames on secondary interfaces
dedicated for storage as jumbo and non jumbo traffic doesn't
mix well. Of course any network devices in between the systems
must support/be configured for jumbo frames as well. In Linux
at least as far as I can frame size is determined by the
interface itself, so e.g. you can't run two VLANs on one NIC,
one in jumbo and one not in jumbo. It's either on or it's off.
(Unlike switches where you can do both on the same port)

If your going to be routinely pushing a gigabit worth of NFS
traffic I certainly would ditch Linux and get a more robust
NAS box.

I think Scott is suggesting that you consider using a different

Then I don't think it's bad, it's actually quite good for a single NIC and 
in the normal range for two bonded NICs. I get a maximum of 30 MB/s 
between two 1000 NICs over a SOHO Switch from Netgear in my office, no 
matter if SSH or NFS. And I don't think it's Linux specific. I saw about 
the same (a little bit more, maybe half of the theoretical throughput) 
when I tested the same switch last year between Windows PCs.

[CentOS] Modem network card conflict

[Shawn Everett]

Hi All,

Here's a strange one for you...

I have a Linux box with a PCMCIA adapter PCI card in it.  Plugged into said 
card is a cellular modem card.

I can configure wvdial and dial the modem card perfectly.  My ppp0 
interface comes up and I can ping everything.

I also have a network card on the motherboard.  Once again, by itself the 
network card works correctly.  That is with the modem NOT dialed up.

Here's where things get interesting...

If I flush the firewall rules: iptables -F
Bring down the eth0 interface: ifconfig eth0 down
Connect with the modem: wvdial &
Bring up the interface: ifconfig eth0 192.168.7.1

At this point the ppp0 interface drops off and redials.  It is no longer 
able to maintain a stable connection.  ppp0 and eth0 do not use the same 
IP range.

Thoughts?

I think backups are important and always on topic. 

You could always use Veritas Netbackup.  That's what one of my clients uses

It's $$$ but you can't get more Enterprise than that. ;)

Yes.  That's why the "compat-*" library RPMs are packaged the way they 
are; to provide applications like xten the shared libraries that are an 
older version than the default.  Most of the time, they're just .so 
files, but in the case of compat-gcc, compat-glibc, etc., Red Hat 
supplies enough compatibility "glue" so that applications targeted for 
version 4 can be supported on version 5, etc.

Maybe IRQ-conflicts? A long-shot but look into the hwconfig and see if there's
something fishy.

[CentOS] Will CentOS 6's upstream be based on Fedora 10?

Hi All,

The subject says it all.  I'm asking because I've found Fedora 9 to be
buggy as hell - it is one of the worst Fedora releases I've ever used
(and I've been using it since Fedora Core 1).  I'm putting up with it
for my work laptop, but it's not fun. :(

My main home machine is still on Fedora Core 6 and will stay there until
CentOS 6 comes out.  I don't want to use CentOS 5 because it's upstream
is based on Fedora Core 6, and I want something new!  When CentOS 6
hits, I will be using it for my work laptop.

I might just keep Fedora for home my machine. I haven't decided yet if I
want to move up to Fedora 10 or CentOS 6.

Ranbir

Not likely. Fedora Core is a different branch than CentOS, and it has a 
lot of different stuff (ideas, software, etc) which CentOS doesn't have. 
CentOS is mainly based on the Red Hat Enterprise branch.

I've been using BRU(CLI version) off and on for about 8 years now,
the company has been doing backup stuff for a bit over 30 years now.

I haven't looked at amanda since 2000, so I'm sure it's improved since,
at the time it wasn't usable for me so I went to BRU and haven't seen
a need to switch off of it since.

I'm facing a similar problem. I've migrated an old NIS server (yeah,
believe me they still exist) to OpenLDAP. The passwords are encrypted
using the old crypt() function. I was hitting my head against the wall
to try to figure a way to make md5 mechanism to work using like you,
but I believe there is no way. It will work only if the password
stored in md5, IMHO.

Could some one confirm this?

Agree, that's why I use Fedora 8 on my workstations. As current as not
to bleed out.

I hope Redhat doesn't base it on Fedora 9, too much radical technology
for it to fit nicely with the current corporate setup.

Some of that technology needs to be more widely adopted first with the
bleeding edge distros for at least 2 more releases.

Try Fedora 8, I know it doesn't have much life in it for updates, but
it is the most solid Fedora out there right now, and it still is
getting updates until Christmas.

I personnally could be very happy for a while with RHEL/CentOS based
on Fedora 8 and wait until KDE 4 and the new init fully bake first.

No change, although I did notice that when I log out (or
), the "analog (d-sub)" message appears when the login
screen takes over and the display goes back to 1680x1050 (the login
screen), so that wasn't it.

Something is resetting the video mode to 1280x1024 when GNOME comes up
- is there any file other than xorg.conf that might cause this?

Thanks to all so far.

If a disk based archive will work, backuppc 
(http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/) is fairly painless and it's scheme of 
compression and hardlinking duplicates lets you keep about 10x the 
history you'd expect.  If you need offsite copies you'll have to run an 
independent instance elsewhere or come up with a clever scheme to copy 
the disk though.  The massive number of hardlinks it creates makes it 
difficult to use normal methods to copy the archive partition.

My work lappy was on Fedora 7, and it was great!  I didn't have any
problems, save for he occasional Evolution crash.  Surprisingly, even
Fedora 9 has been overall much buggier for me, Evolution has been much
more stable.  Go figure.

FYI: I use CentOS 5 for all my server stuff, and even for desktop
machines.  But, I just don't want it as my main desktop distribution. :)

However, you indicated earlier there is some encryption in place, I

My corporate tech guy told me the first step is to get a standard XP mbr

the encryption working again.


Did your centos install work?  Normally dual-boot systems bring up 
windows with grub in the mbr and a chainloader entry to load windows. 
Even if you are usb-booting centos, you should be able to set it up to 
chainload the boot to the windows partition on the hard disk as an 
alternate grub entry.  I'm not sure how this will mesh with disk 
encryption, though, but if a standard windows mbr would work, this might.

Give Fedora 8 a try until a better solution presents itself.

Just disable the forced pulseaudio alsa config in /etc/alsa/alsa.conf

The ConsoleKit in Fedora 8 uses ACLs to allow multiple users switching
desktops to share audio which works well if you pull pulseaudio out
of the picture.

Though for remote audio, pulseaudio works very well, so keep it around
for those rare times you do a remote X session (and force pulse through
alsa in the kdm/gdm env scripts if it detects a remote session!).

Keep in mind that I'm ignorant.

You had mentioned earlier that it not only changed resolution, but
revereted to analog monitor. I don't know if this will help, but have
you run kudzu? Check /etc/sysconfig/hwconf. /VIDEO/

You should see your new monitor in there. I don't know enough to know if
this has an effect though. I presume that when X terminates, the driver
is unloaded. When it starts up again, the driver would be reloaded. I
don't know if DDC gets involved here or not.

Check your X logs (/var/log/X.[0-9].log for messages.

I asked one of my team mates to evaluate centos 5.2 as a more stable

His main objection so far has been the lack of a neat feature of

himself if the screen is locked by another user (a switch user
feature).

Is that feature available or is it planned?


  
One way to do this is to do Ctrl-Alt-F1 (or F2, F3, etc) to bring up one 
of the plain text terminals, and you can just log in there.


If you just need a text terminal then this is all you need.

If you need a graphical terminal, then in the text terminal you need to 
type:


startx -- :1

and this will bring up your desktop (no need to log in, as you have done 
already).


You can switch between this and the locked terminal by using Ctrl-Alt-F7 
and Ctrl-Alt-F8 (probably).


When you have finished with your session, you "log out" as usual, and 
you then drop back out to your text terminal (still logged in). You 
logout from that, and then Ctrl-Alt-F7 will bring back the locked terminal.

I  imagine that it will take a lot of time. It looks like you have

Kai: I tried to use rpmforge, about 4 hours ago, and there was an
error. My daughter is using her box now, so I can't try it at this
time, because she is using M$ Windows at the moment, so I can't ssh
into it and try it again, at this time. I will try again, ASAP.

After I got Priorities installed and configured for the CentOS
repositories, I tried to add RPMForge. I think it was on this URL:
 and when I tried:
rpm -Uhv 
http://apt.sw.be/packages/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
I got an error back. Then, I tried going to rpmforge.com which seemed

I wonder if this is related to a problem I had, 1 or 2 years ago,
where system-config-display (?) said that it was updating xorg.conf,
but, in fact, it did not update it.  Sometimes the GUIs do not work as
advertised. There was some command which ended in --rebuild (?) to
generate a completely new xorg.conf file. Possibly that would help
you, with part of this problem?

[CentOS] Evolution Calendar crash

This was happening, *very* frequently, after the upgrade to CentOS 5.2

crash when I exit Evolution. I do not use Evolution Calendar.

[CentOS] Re: [Ntop-misc] PF_RING crashed the CentOS5 - BUG: soft lockup - CPU#7

[Scott Silva]

on 7-29-2008 11:10 PM Ian jonhson spake the following:

If you need a newer kernel to use that patch, I would recommend something
that runs more cutting edge for that server, maybe Gentoo or Fedora 9. I
don't recommend patching CentOS with a new kernel as you lose the main
benefit for using an Enterprise distro .. stability.


You meant I should not patch the newest kernel but original kernel, right?
For example, I should download the source codes of kernel -2.6.18 used
in CentOS 5 from www.centos.org and do patching. right?

I am thinking the same method to achieve the highest stability. If you
also recommend the way, I am willing to try again.

Thanks!

Ian
It seems that you tried to patch the CentOS kernel and it didn't work. A patch 
for a newer kernel probably wouldn't apply clean, and the CentOS kernels 
coming from RHEL are heavily patched already. The last time I played in the 
kernel there were at least a hundred patches. Probably more. Any one of those 
could contribute to  your new patch failing.
I usually wouldn't recommend using a non-standard kernel on CentOS. If the 
kernel in the main repo or the plus repo doesn't suit your system, and you add 
a kernel from the main kernel.org sources, you risk de-stabilizing your 
system. An Enterprise linux like CentOS is designed for stability and long 
life and the pieces are fairly intertwined. If you need a custom patch or a 
newer kernel, I would just use a distribution like Gentoo or Slackware that 
seems to use newer parts, or see if someone already adds your patch to their 
current kernel.

Do you have some setting on your actual monitor-hardware you can tweak? You 
know 
how most lcd-monitors have auto-settings enabled. Maybe something there is 
ducking with your x-configs?

FWIW, I've seen problems when I've had lcd-monitors connected over a kvm-switch 
and/or monitor-cable extenders. Sometimes the OS just can't correctly identify 
the monitor and the only way to fix it is to connect the montor directly to the 
computer at least once to properly identify it.

Also, do you have a way to connect the monitor to a computer running eg 
Windows, 
just to see it's CentOS and Gnome that's giving you grief and not the hardware?

I'm an Amanda user since 9+ years now.
Done several restores, even bare metal ones.
Amanda never failed on me.

Note that the most important functionality of a backup program

One of the biggest advantages when using Amanda is the possibility
to restore using only the bare bones system utilities like dd, tar,
dump etc., very handy when you have only a backup tape and a brand
new machine to restore to.

When doing backups from MS Windows, be aware that Amanda can only
backup/restore data files. Amanda is not good for programs (and
especially their registry settings and all undocumented stuff done 
during installs of them). I do the backups of our MS-Windows clients

with BackupPC (see the mail from Les Mikesell): very good (but backups
are only to disk).
We do not have many MS Windows servers, and most of those are
actually vmware instances, which are included in the amanda backups
of their hosts anyway.

And last but not least, there is a mailinglist with active and friendly

I am still dead on my corporate system, and the XP boot CD I brought 
won't boot.  And so far I have not found anyone here at the IETF meeting

So I found instructions on doing this in Ubuntu:

http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/01/15/how-to-fix-your-windows-mbr-with-an-ubuntu-livecd/ 




I have my Centos install CD 1 of 6 that gets me into rescue.  Is it able 
to fix my mbr?


Problem I have with the above instructions (of course I have not tried 
them as I would have to burn the Ubuntu live CD), is I cannot write 
anything to the harddrive to store a program to fix the drive (at least 
that is my reading of the instructions).  I suppose I can put a USB 
drive on the system to hold any temp thing?
I am wondering if any standard Microsoft boot sector might work. I could 
probably e-mail you a CD image of a dos 7.1 bootdisk if "fdisk /mbr" would 
work. I have never tried it, and maybe I'll quickly fire up a VM image of XP 
and try it.

If this is an XP system and the MBR set by XP, then you can boot with

Freedos with command "fdisk /mbr" ?

There are a couple of hurdles with this, mainly:

1) If you have SATA drive (or SCSI or...), freedos may not be able to 
see the drive


2) I don't know if freedos has an updated version of fdisk that has no 
addressing limitation (main not be a showstopper anyway)



Anyway, just a quick tought.

[CentOS] Re: Will CentOS 6's upstream be based on Fedora 10?

[Scott Silva]

on 7-30-2008 7:36 AM Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu spake the following:

Hi All,

The subject says it all.  I'm asking because I've found Fedora 9 to be
buggy as hell - it is one of the worst Fedora releases I've ever used
(and I've been using it since Fedora Core 1).  I'm putting up with it
for my work laptop, but it's not fun. :(

My main home machine is still on Fedora Core 6 and will stay there until
CentOS 6 comes out.  I don't want to use CentOS 5 because it's upstream
is based on Fedora Core 6, and I want something new!  When CentOS 6
hits, I will be using it for my work laptop.

I might just keep Fedora for home my machine. I haven't decided yet if I
want to move up to Fedora 10 or CentOS 6.

Regards,

Ranbir
Very hard to tell until upstream sets a freezepoint. It is usually based on 
whatever Fedora is current at that time. So it is probably a tossup between 9 
and 10 looking at the projected date of release.
I doubt that RedHat would release a real buggy enterprise version because they 
have to support it. But then in my opinion all Fedoras have been buggy in some 
way, usually because of the settling time for all the new stuff that gets 
dropped in.

It's only connected via the analog cable.  First, outside of GNOME, it
works in full wide screen mode, so I don't think that's it, and
second, I don't know if there is enough advantage to invest in a DVI
cable.

I'll look, though, tonight, when I get a chance.

Based on the comments that get inserted in my xorg.conf file by the

'spossible, but I usually wind up tweaking it by hand 'cuz it needs it AFAICT.

However, to s-c-d's credit, I have checked the output xorg.conf after

I've had to tweak xorg.conf by hand every time to get it right.  Not

I tried that this morning - nothing seems to be relevant.  I tried
going form "native" to "full screen" but that just widened the
1280x1024 image to fill the screen, which is NOT what I want.

This is my primary workstation - no extra connections at all.  My

I can do that, but since it works up to the login in wide screen mode,
I'm fairly certain that it is the gdm (GNOME).

[CentOS] Rapid deployment of CentOS on HP Proliant machines

[Handloser, Fred (IHPS Corvallis)]

Has anyone successfully deployed CentOS on HP Proliant servers using the 
Altiris Rapid Deployment (RDP) framework?This works out of the box with 
RHEL 5.1 but I have not been able to get this to work with CentOS 5.1.If 
anyone knows of an article on all the details to be able to deploy CentOS to a 
bare machine Proliant Server,  I would appreciate a pointer.I did make the 
changes to the adlagent installation to add the "--install-as=redhat 
--toolbox==redhad" and that allowed me to get much further along in the 
process.  My end result is that instead of booting to CentOS after the RDP job 
is done I get a notice that "Admin" is not a valid boot option.

Any info would be appreciated.

Kai: I also went to RPMForge and tried to download  and install the
RPM, but there was a problem with that too. Possibly it was a
temporary problem. I had the RPM on the Desktop and tried to install,
but no go. I will try again, ASAP. I have Priorities set up on that
box, so if I can add the RPMForge Repository to the CentOS
repositories, then I'm good to go.  Lanny

Lanny, this is the package you want:

[CentOS] Updated bind marked as vulnerable

[mbneto]

Hi,

I have a Centos 4.6 machine that even tough has been updated with the latest
bind 9.2.4-28.0.1.el4 is marked as vulnerable by
https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc/services/dnsentropy.

I have another machine which also uses that same distro and is not.

Do I have to do any other update?

Steve: Thanks. I will try that when I can get onto that box. Also, I
just found this page:
 which includes this:

wget 
http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.$dist.rf.$arch.rpm
rpm -Uhv rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.$dist.rf.$arch.rpm

Probably the same RPM.  Probably it will be tomorrow morning, before I
can try this. Lanny

This won't work as it doesn't know what to load next. In case this info helps 
Robert:
You need the XP (or NT) MBR plus the following files in the root of the boot 
disk: boot.ini, NTDETECT.COM, ntldr
These are in the root of any XP file system and can just be copied.
boot.ini contains which harddisk partition to boot and may need editing 
according to the partition structure on the disk.
This will then load from any bootable disk (floppy, USB, harddisk) and 
subsequently load the OS on that partition. On a non-encrypted filesystem.
You can make a bootable diskette (with that MBR) from within XP by formatting 
the diskette and checking the option to make it a system disk. However, I doubt 
this will work for USB sticks etc.

Do you have a "query-source address * port" set in your named.conf?
If so, you need to remove it to pass most tests.

Are those boxes directly handling your DNS requests to the internet for 
you  - i.e. their IPs show up in the test results as the DNS Resolvers? 
If yes, probably your named.conf would need to be looked at in the 
problem box.



More likely, it's your nameserver in your resolv.conf or the nameserver 
of your nameserver that the test site is talking to. You have to bug 
whoever runs those boxes about the problem.

Hello,

Big discussion on this group two weeks ago. Most likely, your problem 
is this line in /etc/named.conf:

 query-source address * port 53;
Remove that and retest.

However, be forewarned that it could cause problems with restarting 
named.. in which case, do not delete the line, just comment it, then 
uncomment if you get into trouble and reconsult the archives. That 
problem was resolved late week before last or early last week too.


If you want some better advice, post your errors.

Cheers,

MB, sorry :-)
  



thats on the order of 700-800Mbit/sec, which is quite good for a single 
session on GigE.   as others have said, the sort of bonding you're doing 
doesn't speed up single transfers, instead it helps with multiple 
concurrent sessions.
