[CentOS] Upgrading Centos 5.3 23Bit -> 64Bit
Hi, has anybody done an upgrade from an installed 32bit version to a 64bit? If so, how? Installing the 64bit version from scratch is an option, but I'm interested also, if an upgrade is possible.

No changes shown there for AC97 or 8111 stuff. So now it sounds like either a loadable module-related problem, either in the module itself or the modprobe conf.

Generally a fresh re-install is clearly recommended. But what you could
test (with a full valid backup) is following:
yum install $(rpm -qa --qf '%{name}.%{arch}\n' | grep i386 | sed -e
's/i386/x86_64/g')
And additionally to install those packages as x86_64 arch which are
installed as i686 arch already.
if you have a file /etc/rpm/platform, then adjust it or delete it. Once
all x86_64 packages required installed and kernel & grub proper, reboot.
The command "arch" should print out "x86_64" if I did not miss a detail
others on this list may know. You then can yum remove the ix86 rpms.
I did not test this. Act with care and a backup.

Hello, I've got a centos 5.3 machine that is running services http and ftp whih are the two services i've noticed this on. When log rotation happens the old logs are renamed and compressed, but new logs httpd and pure-ftpd have zero lengths. From that poing log writing is not working.

[CentOS] setup iptables to allow forwarding through eth1
I have a fresh installed CentOS 5.3 server which should route traffic between two networks like this: network A (Internet) -- eth0 (default gw) : server : eth1 -- network B (LAN) I have set in sysctl.conf net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 and routing works fine like this. But when I switch on the iptables service (with default setup, configured when installing the server), routing stops working (or at least I cannot ping a server in network A from network B). I guess the firewall is stopping it, so I read http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Deployment_Guide/s1-firewall-ipt-fwd.html and issued the commands # iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -j ACCEPT # iptables -A FORWARD -o eth1 -j ACCEPT but that did not help.

[CentOS] centos 5.3 with dkms-nvidia-x11-drv and gnome power manager sleep
Hi all, On my ThinkPad T61, I am trying to get gnome power manager's sleep function to work properly. When I bring my machine back up after sleep, I end up with just a black screen and nothing responding.. no capslock light when I hit capslock for example. I am running the latest nvidia driver from rpmforge (I'm suspecting the nvidia driver isn't playing nice). With Ubuntu I had to make a change in /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20-video-quirk-pm-el5-lenovo.fdi to get it to work. This, unfortunately, didn't help in CentOS. 'echo mem > /sys/power/state' seems to work properly - the machine actually comes back up. Whatever method G-P-M is using is not. Can I make G-P-M use that command to suspend? Or any ideas on how to make G-P-M's method work? Thanks, Ryan ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] A couple questions about Wine
VirtualBox works great but, since I only really use one Windows program (an older, specialized word processor called Movie Magic Screenwriter), I'm thinking of using Wine to run it in CentOS and getting rid of the Windows virtual machine. But a couple questions: 1) If I run Wine, do I introduce security or performance issues? 2) Is there any difference between Michael Harris' Wine repository and the ones available through... wherever yum is picking it up? (Actually it looks like it has two or three versions listed.) Thanks for any recommendations. I like VirtualBox, but it seems like overkill. -- RonB -- Using CentOS 5.3 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

You are probably better off if you don't mix the installed OS with the partitions you want to export, so you would use a small raid1 for the OS, then add everything else after it is up and running. I'd do it that way for other distributions too, even if I eventually want /home or /var on different raid partitions. It is easy enough to mount the new space under a temporary name, copy over the existing contents, rename the old directories and set up fstab to mount the new ones when you reboot. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

You should like the md layer handle all things raid and let lvm do just volume management. To create a raid1+0 array, you first create the mirrors and then you create a striped array that consists of the mirror devices. There is another raid10 module that does its own thing with regards to 'raid10', is not supported by the installer and does not necessarily behave like raid1+0. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

When it comes to Linux software raid, the raid10 module does things differently from what you get from a combination of raid1 + raid0. When it comes to hardware raid, raid10 is very likely to mean raid1+0. The problem is that that chum behind the raid10 module chose a name that was not at that time strictly defined and people would use raid10 in their articles to mean raid1+0. The raid10 module can do something similar to what you get with raid1+0 but it can also do completely different things in the way it handles data. You can for example have three disks and get a 'raid10' array. You do not have to have an even number of disks to create a 'raid10' device with the raid10 module. http://neil.brown.name/blog/20040827225440 BTW, the raid10 module does not have the same reputation as the raid1 and raid0 modules...even the raid5 module did not have a good reputation five years ago sometime around when raid10 was introduced and the raid5 module has been around for some time then. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
