Re: [CentOS] Inquiry:Mainboard type?
EPIA is the name for the family of motherboards VIA makes in the Mini-ITX & smaller form factors. The series includes about 4-5 different processor families ranging from the old C3 's up to the Nano processor. The only way I know of to figure out which which mainboard you have is to cross reference the outputs of "cat /proc/cpuinfo" and "lspci -v " against VIA's own specs lists. You may even have to go so far as to open the unit's case to find the silk screened model number. -- Drew "Nothing in life is to be feared.

and it just printed the whole thing to screen. But I can't image how there
would be an indent error. (1) This exact file without edit displays fine on

can't explain the size difference.

Re: [CentOS] Serious Privileges Problem: Second Post!
Adding python debugging to apache revealed an import error. The strange thing is that when I load the exact lines of code in the command line python interpreter, it has no trouble importing the class in question. With respect to the dos question, I've uploaded this exact code in its exact format (*.py files) to another server where it serves just fine. I can't find where to get dos2unix, but do I need it?

Not necessarily anything to do with python; a shell script or perl program
would suffer the same problem.
See if a file beginning "#!/bin/sh" was sent as a DOS file then Unix would
see it as "#!/bin/sh^M" (where ^M is the carriage-return character 0x0d)
and so would try to run the script under "/bin/sh^M". This, clearly,
doesn't exit. Same would be true for /usr/bin/perl^M or /usr/bin/python^M
and so on.
Victor was told do to "dos2unix" which fixes the problem but he ignored
the info ("dos2unix?! Huh? Where's the dos?") so *shrug*
As they say, you can lead a horse to water...

I'm not sure what you remember but with most ways of displaying files there is no visible different when a CRLF is present instead of just LF. If there's a difference in size that you can't see, and diff shows them as different, that's almost certain it.

Googing around, I see that others have had this problem with the NVIDIA card. In one case, it was solved by gaining access to card parameters and setting them directly.

[CentOS] Net-SNMP interfaces out of order
Hello Centos People, I have a CentOS 5.3 box that had a total of 5 ethernet cards in it. It functions to share an internet connection with 4 different subnets. All works fine, except I'm noticing that my MRTG traffic graphs are wrong. Further digging with snmpwalk reveal that the order of the ethernet interfaces changes every time the machine is rebooted to a different order. For example, I currently see: IF-MIB::ifDescr.1 = STRING: lo IF-MIB::ifDescr.2 = STRING: eth3 IF-MIB::ifDescr.3 = STRING: eth4 IF-MIB::ifDescr.4 = STRING: eth0 IF-MIB::ifDescr.5 = STRING: eth1 IF-MIB::ifDescr.6 = STRING: eth2 IF-MIB::ifDescr.7 = STRING: sit0 Why is this not in proper order? Other servers seem to be ok. my snmpd.conf file has little, if anything as far as config. Is there something I need to put in there for persistence?

Re: [CentOS] Virtualization option at first install CentOS-5.4 x86_64
I've been doing a lot of research on virtualization (VMWare, EXSi, xen, kvm, VirtualBox, etc.) and ended up choosing kvm. I'm very surprised at how quick I was able to bring up a WinXP VM. I tried VMWare's EXSi 4.0 on bare metal, and failed. Then I tried VirtualBox on CentOS 5.3 and failed. So I decided to download a fresh CentOS 5.4 iso and see if kvm would work. Since Red Hat has purchased the developer of kvm, I figured y the time it showed up in 5.4 most of the kinks would be worked out. Go with kvm...that appears to be the future for RHEL and CentOS.

The vSMP system is based around a COMA architecture. As such some memory is reserved for caching to hide the latencies. We had issues with job affinities. Jobs would migrate from CPU to CPU frequently leading to rather poor performance. All of these findings were reported to them as we were an early adoptor.

[CentOS] Some basic LVM questions
Hello all, I've been 'away' from all things Linux in general and RH in particular for a long while, so I've got some catching up to do ;) I've got a pretty fair collection of tabs reading on LVM and how it works and why its such a great thing for enterprise use, etc., being able to add storage to the pool and all that. LVM was just kind of catching on when I moved away from Linux for a while, so it's a little odd to me. What I have currently is an older PC that I'm hoping to use as a home server / occasional 'workstation'. One 13GB main drive, and a 500GB drive for network storage. The default install in CentOS 5.4 seems to want to just lump everything together in one big volume. I was thinking perhaps it'd be better to have two volumes (or pools, like I said - still learning and not entirely confident of the lingo involved)... one for the main or 'system' drive (the 13GB one with / mounted on it), and another one for the 500GB sata drive on it - so if I want to add another big drive for more storage, it'd go under that group, ready to serve up storage to the WLAN. Is there anything particularly 'wrong' with that layout, as compared to the default 'everything in one logical volume' approach that the installer utilized? Another question... I thought the filesystem hierarchy standard outlined a /srv directory for services provided... like storage space, etc. but it didn't seem to be listed as one of the available mount points when I was fiddling with the partitioning segment of the installer, debating whether to over ride it or let it do its thing. There was of course the option to enter my own mount point... but in the end I opted to wait and see if there was maybe a reason why RH/CentOS doesn't seem to include this in the default setup? Is there a more traditionally suitable location for things to go under? 99% of the use of this machine is going to be providing storage space to the various laptops and PCs in the house, so primarily as a Samba server...
