That depends on how important it is to never fail. If it is extremely important, you might want something with redundant components like the Symmetra line. These are designed to keep working with some failed components and to allow you to replace parts with the equipment on bypass but still running. > All in all about a handfull of them.

You might blame one or two on bad components, but this sounds like something is wrong with the input power at your location. I assume they are lasting at least through the 2 year warranty period.

At my company we run automunter as well mostly on CentOS 4.x, and RHEL 4.x, though some newer systems are on 5.x. The only time I get that kind of error is if a firewall is blocking the connections, and there is always an error in syslog saying that it couldn't connect to the NAS. e.g. Jan 22 02:52:24 pd1-cas01 automount[32591]: >> mount: mount to NFS server 'exnas' failed: timed out (giving up). Jan 22 02:58:42 pd1-cas01 automount[23530]: >> mount: backgrounding "exnas:/exavol/system_logs/syslogs" How many systems do you have mounting the NetApp? Here we are migrating from a BlueArc based system to an Exanet based system, NetApp's architecture limits it's performance too much for our needs(and price point).

From your writeup, it is not apparent if you ever get the resolution you want. If it never works, I suspect you are up against the limitations of nv itself. On my systems, it is really really limited, plus there is no 3D support. If you are willing to use the proprietary (but free of cost) Nvidia driver (http://www.nvidia.com), you will likely be happier. It includes a GUI settings thing called nvidia-settings and it also supports xrandr. The nvidia driver has a long README file and in my experience it is one of the better manuals for no-cost software. I have *not* found an up to date RPM for the nvidia driver for Centos, and so it appears to me the only feasible route is to run the script installer on www.nvidia.com. That's bad because it steps on some files you might want back later. One main purpose of rpm.livna.org was to keep up to date on the rpms for nvidia, but it appears to me that the transition to the rpmfusion network has let some things fall through. Last I checked, rpmfusion was a few editions behind on the nvidia driver, even for Fedora linux, and they were never very interested in helping Centos/RedHat. (I keep thinking I built an nvidia RPM myself, but I can't find it today). However you install it, that nvidia comes with a program 'nvidia-settings' and that helps quite a bit to see what you are up against. It is like system-config-display, sorta, except that it does not look like crap and it actually lets you see settings and information on the system. I've not had the trouble you report that system-config-display refuses to do anything while logged in, incidentally, but that is pretty easy to fix. You can google for "boot into runlevel 3" or other ways of getting to a "virtual terminal" after turning off the X display (in the old days, it was /sbin/telinit 3 as root would close X entirely. Maybe Alt-Control-F2 (any F1 through F7 is OK on Centos). You may not need to do any fancy customization to get nvidia to work. Just change the xorg.conf to replace "nv" with "nvidia". nvidia requires a kernel module, and that has to be rebuilt when the kernel is updated. On the Fedora systems here, I think the dkms framework is used to automatically build that kernel module when a new kernel starts. Right now I'm using an Ubuntu machine (because RedHat/Centos lag too far behind the software curve for me to do my development work), but i believe the xorg.conf I'm attaching would work on a Centos system that has the nvidia driver. I want a resolution of 1400x1050, which I can get with the windows nvidia driver on the same laptop, so I know it is possible. However, that mode is lacking from the linux side. So it is necessary for me to stop the card from guessing EDID frequencies of the laptop display, and I have to create modelines that allow the card to show the resolution I want. If you keep fiddling with settings and you find your resolution is always "stuck" where you do not want it, then it means that your video card is looking at the EDID frequencies of your display and refusing to send the signal you want. Sorry, didn't mean to start writing a book. I've wrestled with these so long that it is starting to seem like i should make a career out of it. pj > # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display > > Section "ServerLayout" >Identifier "single head configuration" >Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 >InputDevice"Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" > EndSection > > Section "InputDevice" >Identifier "Keyboard0" >Driver "kbd" >Option "XkbModel" "pc105" >Option "XkbLayout" "us" > EndSection > > Section "Device" >Identifier "Videocard0" >Driver "nv" > EndSection > > Section "Screen" >Identifier "Screen0" >Device "Videocard0" >DefaultDepth 16 >SubSection "Display" >Viewport 0 0 >Depth 24 >EndSubSection >SubSection "Display" >Viewport 0 0 >Depth 16 >Modes"1600x1200" "1600x1024" "1440x900" "1400x1050" > "1280x1024" > "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1280x960" "1280x800" "1280x800" "1152x864" > "1152x864" "1152x7

I also have this problem with mounting Samba Shares. The whole client machine would lock up or either have the same error your getting. After a few hours of trying different settings I finally went to mounting the shares at boot time. My question would be is there certain settings that automount supports for auto.master for cifs and nfs verses the running Kernel.

Re: [CentOS] Port Forwarding
The other issue we are having is that I need to run LDAP on that server for syncing address books to send email with. So not only do I need mail and LDAP, but I need ssl and authentication and certificates. I do have another box here that I had planned on using for the forwarding taks, I suppose that I could set it up to accept mail and forward to the main server. The main server could still use the smtp smarthost as the outbound default mailer and go out the second server's connection? I guess what I really need is a Cisco 515 router.

Yes - the one thing to watch out for is the possibility of forwarding to addresses that don't really exist, especially if there is any chance that this server can you can get hit with spam or anything generated by viruses. In this case you'll accept the message and forward it on to another host that will have to generate a bounce message and try to return it, probably also to an undeliverable address. If you have LDAP in the picture you can probably use it as the 'local user' lookup before accepting. Otherwise you might use sendmail's virtuser table to map the legal address to the forwarder so you can quickly reject anything else. Or with MimeDefang you can verify that the destination address will be accepted via SMTP before accepting for forwarding. > I guess what I really need is a Cisco 515 router.

[CentOS] Redistributing CentOS
Hey Listees, Just a quick question. I hope this isn't received incorrectly by everyone as I do mean the best for the CentOS project; I am wondering if it would be frowned upon to upload CentOS to my RapidShare account. I understand I can freely distribute CentOS but to what extent? In its simplest form I only really want to upload CentOS 5.2 to my RapidShare account for speed. I had to download it twice this weekend at two difference remote sites and sometimes the mirror was a bit slow. Generally they are quite fast but I mean with RapidShare I can get 50Mbps compared to normal 6-10Mbps from some mirrors. I understand it depends on the line I am downloading from and the load on the mirror etc but because fools like myself and many others have paid RapidShare accounts we can download things super quick with a vary reliable supplier. I am wondering why I can't find CentOS on there already as that was the first place I looked hoping I could download the DVD install straight from there in 20 minutes? Is it because this is either frowned upon or just straight up wrong? Does anyone have any suggestions about the right way to go with this? Thanks for reading people.

They can be configured from 2kva up to about 16kva and have almost complete redundancy. I have 35 Symmetra RM and LX single phase units protecting network closets and labs. I have never lost a load in the five or so years I've been running them. Components do fail, especially the batteries (we always hope for five years, but 3-4 years life is not uncommon...the nature of the VRLA beast). However, my experience with APC is that I've never worked with a better tech support operation. This is my own opinion based on my experience. I have no financial interest other than to protect my networks from the cost of outages. BTW these APCs replaced banks of Best Power FERRUPSes.

Heartbeat does it for you - basically, Heartbeat for apache can be setup in less than 5 minutes. It's no more complicated than the link you posted. Each box has its own address, then there's the VIP. To get a little more advanced, you could configure a private link between them with a crossover cable and monitor that in heartbeat if you wanted to, but it's not required. Also, I'd turn off auto_failback... but that's just me. Some notes: 1. Disable apache from automatic startup via: chkconfig httpd off 2. Enable heartbeat to startup automatically via: chkconfig heartbeat on 3. Consider using the aforementioned private link, as the broadcast traffic can be maddening on a busy segment. 4. Consider using a private vlan rather than a crossover cable. If a crossover cable, or either side of a private link dies, and you've got STONITH enabled, both nodes can, under certain circumstances, kill each other. 5. Consider installing mon as well to monitor the cluster. 6. auto_failback means that that if you default to node01, then node01 fails, as soon as its back up, it'll fail back to node01. That can be good, but it can also be very bad... think of the case of using Heartbeat with mysql, and ask yourself how often you want to fail over a live database cluster. ;) Have fun! -I ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I should have > thought of that a while ago. I am just currious here. Your up to about 2 or 3 mail servers correct? That is for handling 2 different subnets or domains? Lets say domains. Ok? Add on top of that a POP3 or IMAP servers. Now your up to adding in LDAP for user management, slapping in a Cisco PIX 500 Series. How many total users do you need to support? That we don't know. To be completely honest I think your just creating a big mess to keep up with and manage. That is way to much Administration Overhead to put up with in my opinion. I think that your best solution outcome to this is to use Exchange Server 2007. Scalix can't top what your wanting to do or need to do either. Exchange is fully HIPPA and SOX Compliant. You can do with one exchange server what your trying to get accomplished with 3 sendmail servers. You have right there mail, mail archiving, search by date and name, mail retention policies and backup. If the company gets hit up with a E Discovery for Email pertaining to certain keywords you will have the ability to do so on site with exchange. That happens quit often at times. All of this is now the default standard in Exchange. The big drawback is the cost (per user). A wild guess is $10.00 per user account. Active Directory (ldap) can even run on top of exchange. Also the databases can reside on a SAN now also. I am an open source person but when it comes to something like that I hate to say it but Exchange has it covered. What's others opinions? How would you do it? I'm currious to know how you would do this in an environment that has many compliance problems. Mainly issues of privacy rights not being violated.

For a commercial solution, Lotus Domino might be even better. It is cross platform (runs on linux), supports all those same standards for various business standards and audit policies, you get a good web-client, pop and imap in addition to the Notes client (on Windows and Linux only). Also, it is cheaper than Exchange. -- //Morten ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
