[CentOS] CPU utils almost 100%

2009-07-05 Thread fabian
Dear All,

I have been using the following for along time but recently i noticed the
following


Centos 5.2
squid stable 2.6
clamav + havp

i do have MRTG running which monitors CPU + bandwith usage of my squid
proxy server

i notced recently that the cpu utilization peaks to abt 100 % at 4 am
every day and becomes normall at 10 am


cpu 4.5%us   2.3% sy  0.0%ni 2% id   95% wa

notice the 95% wa

the only thing that i added was i have a cron job running clamscan at 4 am

but initally it was workin without any problem

when i run top it show



so when i noticed this high cpu utilization i removed the clamscan entry
from my crontab file so as to diable it
but the problem still persists

i wanted to disble all the daily crontab jobs but i jus wanted to know
which process could be actually causing this

appreciate your advice and help


regards


fabian

Re: [CentOS] modern motherboard for centos-5

2009-07-05 Thread Ian Murray
Well, despite what you say about ASUS, I recently bought an M3N78-VM 
(http://www.ebuyer.com/product/152752 - although the net card specs are wrong) 
because it was cheap and it supported 8gb. The only problem was the lack for 
forcedeth drivers in standard CentOS, which I download from somewhere else. I 
can't speak for graphics or sound because the machine uses neither.

It's running Xen kernel from the Gitco repositories and it's rock solid (touch 
wood).

Subject: [CentOS] modern motherboard for centos-5

I'm considering upgrading, and am trying to choose a modern motherboard
that nevertheless fully works with Centos5/RHEL5.

Though I'm partial to AMD processors, and would like to use one in my
new configuration, that's not a requirement, if the most appropriate
board happens to be intel-compatible. 

However, given the way ASUS is dumping LInux and crawling more firmly
into bed with the Beast, I'd prefer to avoid ASUS boards.

I see that NewEgg has some combo deals at reasonable prices, but I
can't tell which chipsets/boards are known to work with centos5 and
which aren't.

Just at random, here's one of their offerings, a Biostar board:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138143
I've always understood Biostar boards to be cheap, not only in price,
but perhaps they're serviceable? 

I'm open to other suggestions, too.

Thanks in advance!

It looks like you might be misreading the idle % for CPU activity.  A 95%
idle shows the system is not doing much.

Personally, for consumer  grade motherboard, I prefer to use Gigabyte or 
MSI.
Between those two, MSI is more USB boot friendly. I boot many 
implementations with USB SysLinux without problem with MSI, but 
problematic with Gigabyte.

For AMD, I recommend to get any with AMD 780G chipset, the reasons are :
a. already has built in low entry 3D capable graphic unit, and has DVI 
output in case you want to use them with large LCD screen
b. the SATA chipset brought by the AMD SB700 or SB750 is compatible with 
VMWare ESX 4.0i, thus can be made as local VMFS storage. My CentOs is 
always above VMware ESX now.

Long time never used the Asus board anymore, thus cannot comment.

I have some cheap BioStar motherboards. Works well, and suitable for 
lower price desktop built for my friends. All of the running Ubuntu 
Linux. However none of them running 24x7 thus cannot recommend whether 
it is suitable for your email server requirements. The oldest possibly 
about 2 years old. If I recall, I never had any motherboard problem 
since 2001 and I only used Gigabyte-MSI-Biostar-Palit. Yes, there are 
some old motherboards who were dead after never been used, but usually 
they are > 4 years old and becoming rusty after I put them in the store 
room (very humid here in Singapore).

so sorry abouyt my typing

its cpu==>4.5%us
sy==> 2.3%
ni==> 0.0%
id==> 2 %
wa==> 95%


so the wa=95 %

this starts about 4 am and stops about 10 am
then the CPU idle time is always between 90% to 99%

Your in Time Wait there! Look at your disk i/o and processor ques for
clam av and havp along with squid.

Clam AV in sync with havp and squid with lots of connections can bring a
server to its knees real quick. You can start by looking at your config
for clamd that controls the squid scanning and logging. If no problems
there then look elsewhere. look at your running processes.

Thank you Les & Lucian,

I was able to fix the problem with your help, the first problem was an error 
between the chair and keyboard. I had forgot to turn the hard drive back on in 
the bios when i was trying to do some other stuff a while ago, so that caused 
me some grief and soon as i turned that on i was able to see the drive without 
having to do the "dd" command. ( i was trying to replace the mirrored drives 
and knock out the raid but i was not able to get the other drive up and running 
because i was having so much trouble with samba not working correctly). The 
second did help me and i was able to sync it up with no problems. 

again thanks

steven

Wait means the kernel is waiting for some device i/o command(s) to complete. 
The CPU is idle but can't do anything useful without the results from the 
device, probably disk or network.  Starting at 4 am makes the 'updatedb'run 
that 
builds the database for the locate command a likely culprit.  Do you have a lot 
of files, slow disks, or perhaps some network mounts that are included?

[CentOS] GUI Front End for OpenLDAP admin (users & groups)

2009-07-05 Thread Robert Heller
Does there exist a GUI Front End for OpenLDAP admin for CentOS 5 (RHEL
5)?

The binary (i386) rpm for directory_adminstrator works just fine with
CentOS 4, but does't install under CentOS 5 and the src RPM does not
build (I hacked the spec file and did install the build deps, but it is
using an old hack for finding libgnome (/usr/lib/gnomeConf.sh or
something like that).

I installed centos-ds, but this *looks* like it is a replacement
OpenLDAP's slapd, which I don't want -- I have things set up and working
with slapd and don't want to migrate things again.

Not an rpm (but works with the supplied openjdk): Apache Directory
Studio. 

I don't know a better LDAP frontend than that.

We don't have any MS-Windows clients.  The GUI must be Linux-based (this

Thanks for your thoughts.

My current system is a Gigabyte and I've been quite happy with it. Looking
around at Newegg, I see this board:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128392

that while inexpensive appears to be full-featured, at least for anything
I'd do with it. But I can't find anything online relating to Linux
compatibility. It uses AMD chips for north- and south-bridges, AMD770
and AMD SB710.

I suppose I could just buy it and find out, but that could get expensive,
what with re-stocking fees, and all.

Phoronix tends to review higher-end boards than this, mostly, and they also
consider it to be "linux compatible" if it works with the latest/greatest
as-yet-unreleased Ubuntu. 

But I like to stick with Centos beecause I hate getting caught up in the
"update every six-to-twelve months" whether I like it or not treadmill. I
like to build a system and have it run for 2 or 3 years before I need
to do a major OS upgrade, and Fedora and Ubuntu do not lend themselves
well to that way of living.

Re: [CentOS] Building Custom Kernel - CentOS 4.4

2009-07-05 Thread Kurian Thayil
Hi Ned,

Got i working. Upgraded cpp package to 3.4.10 and it got working.
Successfully compiled a custom kernel. I am wondering why I wasn able to
do this with the cpp package bundled with CentOS 4.4?

Regards,

Kurian Thayil.
