The only options I could find what SATA port replicators, but they're limited to 4/5 ports each. And I can't find a supplier in our country for them, so I guess I'll have to import them, which will end up costing an arm and a leg again. Our import duties are expensive. Which SAS expander did you use? Our local SuperMicro suppliers have limited products available so if I need something that they don't have, I'll have to convince them to get it for me. Upto now they've sold me full blown servers with iSCSI interconnects, which is expensive if I don't actually use the motherboard, CPU or RAM for anything useful. I'm also considering going another route, but it seems that suppliers in our country simply don't like selling loose components. Why, I don't know, but I guess someone has to milk the poor clients of their money. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Most efficient/fastest way to see disk usage
Hi all,
I use this command to see disk usage:
du -cks * | sort -rn | while read size fname; do for unit in k M G T P
E Z Y; do if [ $size -lt 1024 ]; then echo -e
"${size}${unit}\t${fname}"; break; fi; size=$((size/1024)); done; done
The data itself is around 200GB with lots of subdir and small files.
The command takes for about 1 hour to finish.
Is there a faster way to see the disk usage of some directories?
Secondary objective is:
To see which directories have changes (added/remove subdir/files)
comparing to the previous data. I'm thinking of using "ls -laR" and
"diff". But not sure.
Thank you.

Maybe something like:

then rerun after and diff...?

RPMforge isn't a "finder", it's a repository, and a good one. http://rpm.pbone.net is pretty good, but doesn't have RHEL 6 yet, and CentOS 6 isn't out yet, so it's somewhat limited in that sense. But It's very, very useful for finding tools that are not in your particular OS or looking among all the repositories you can think of for relevant versions of components. JPackage is also good for Java tools. It's a bit funky to integrate for RHEL 5 or CentOS 5. Let us know if you go that route. If you start reaching outside the main CentOS repository for components, be careful about name skew and overlapping components. This is what happened with JPackage and Eclips: RedHat renamed the "eclipse" package" as "ecj-eclips", and obsoleted "eclipse", and the result was chaos when trying to install a far more recent "eclipse" from JPackage. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] Any update on 5.6 / 6?
There used to be this farmer, Red, that sold the most delicious fruit. They were very good fruits. Many people liked them and bought them for their families. The farmer would make the fruit seeds available, as was the custom in the land. Another farmer, Fred, decided to take the seeds and start growing some of his own fruit. It took weeks to grow the fruit. The only difference was that he didn't put on the little Red sticker. Instead he put on a Fred sticker. Many people used the Fred version. Fred gave away his fruit. Many people started showing up for the free Fred version. Still, Fred continued to give away the fruit. In fact he turned down donations because a part of him didn't want to get paid for doing something like that. There were whole books Fred had read about altruism and the death of altruism and how money corrupts. Those thoughts maybe did not apply to Fred's garden, but Fred maybe realized that money wasn't the chief motivation for laboring for weeks and then giving away the fruit. After all, Fred was a great farmer, and if needed could very well sell his farming expertise for boatloads of money. People started showing up. Some didn't know about the work that Fred had put into his fruit. Some wanted to know when the fruit would be ready. Some went as far as asking why the fruit wasn't ready. Some said, "Farmer Red grew his fruit months ago. Farmer Jed already has grown his fruit. Why haven't you?" Some said, "I don't know much about farming, but you should get people to help. Not me, since I know nothing of farming, but get other people." Some said, "I don't know much about farming. I want to help." Some said, "I've never farmed this fruit before, but I can help." Now Fred had read this book about how adding farmers to a field won't necessarily make the fruit grow any faster. Maybe it's true, he thought. Some of the experienced farmers had already been helping anyway, so that was something. I don't know how Fred continues to do his farming. But I appreciate the free fruit. I appreciate the great effort that Fred has put into the fruit, despite the chorus of voices asking why the fruit doesn't arrive sooner. It's good fruit and worth waiting for.

Re: [CentOS] Any update on 5.6 / 6?
That's a lovely story. But if that applies to CentOS core team (i.e they do not want to receive money) why don't use the money to hire more staff to do some of their tasks, specially those that they haven't been able to do in the way they would like them to be done. But it seems that I am barking at the wrong tree and find a way to pay RedHat for all CentOS machine that I have, since this is a 8 or 80 matter for some (i.e shut up and take whatever you get X pay something that you can't afford).

I believe this was stated some time ago. Money equals 'Accounting' and a LOT of added complexities. Hiring staff comes with even more of a time sync (withholdings perhaps across multiple nations, insurances, unemployment insurance... basically a whole plethora of addition accounting... even freelancers require accounting) and suddenly a 'second job' instead of the situation as it exist now. I do believe they are happy to receive nice servers, so if you wanted to start a collection to buy them a really nice new server, I doubt that would go to waste... or better yet ask what equipment needs exist. However, if somebody thinks that a project like this should be a paid project, the source is available for anyone to introduce a new flavor. And, alternatively there are the RH subscriptions to answer immediate needs... where you can sit around asking "When is RHEL (insert next number here) going to be released?" If we can all just chill a bit and not create issues on this list that distract the folks putting it all together, then they will in theory get it done faster!

I think there is not elegant way to do this.. I follow those steps:
1) Set discovery.sendtargets.{auth,password} in iscsid.conf for target-1
+ restart iscsid service.
2) Set CHAP settings for target-1 + connect:
# iscsiadm -m node --targetname ${TARGETNAME1} -p ${PORTAL1} -o update
-n node.session.auth.username -v ${USERNAME}
# iscsiadm -m node --targetname ${TARGETNAME1} -p ${PORTAL1} -o update
-n node.session.auth.password -v ${PASSWORD}
# iscsiadm -m node --targetname ${TARGETNAME1} -p ${PORTAL1} -l
3) Disconnect from target-1:
# iscsiadm -m node --logoutall all
4) Set discovery.sendtargets.{auth,password} in iscsid.conf for target-2
+ restart iscsid service.
5) Set CHAP settings for target-2 + connect:
# iscsiadm -m node --targetname ${TARGETNAME2} -p ${PORTAL2} -o update
-n node.session.auth.username -v ${USERNAME}
# iscsiadm -m node --targetname ${TARGETNAME2} -p ${PORTAL2} -o update
-n node.session.auth.password -v ${PASSWORD}
# iscsiadm -m node --targetname ${TARGETNAME2} -p ${PORTAL2} -l
It works! Now you can login/logout in both iSCSI targets:
# iscsiadm -m node --logoutall all
# iscsiadm -m node --loginall all

Re: [CentOS] Any update on 5.6 / 6?
Let's see. 7 weeks after a RHEL release, we have: 1. When is it going to be out 2. If they had donations, it would be out faster 3. The team spends needless energy trying to cool things down on the lists, delaying the release if only for a bit, and it frustrates them And we know that you can expect the release from the upstream vendor to take 4-8 weeks before it hits the CentOS repository. And we're well within that window with plenty of time to go before it expires (not to mention a major holiday in that window, and TWO releases going on at once), and the CentOS boards clearly say that we're close to the release of 5.6...it should be seeded very soon to the mirrors. It would be like at Christmas, in early December... mom and dad haven't given us any presents yet. Maybe if we got them more money, we'd get the presents faster. If they needed money, they'd ask for it. Can't we just enjoy the anticipation for once?

I can personally vouch for the fact my company was looking to donate money - only to be stonewalled by the lack of a way to do actually do so. Money has these great virtues: It can be accumulated in small increments from people who can't afford large increments. It can be exchanged for physical objects like servers.

Perhaps I'm a little bit pragmatic, but..

It is time, and more importantly trust. We can not just give out the ability to compile and sign packages that go into a main CentOS distribution to every Tom, Dick or Harry who might know a thing or two about compiling packages. The fact of the matter is, building the entire distribution and making sure everything is linked against the correct libraries and that it matches up with upstream is something that takes almost as long to check as it does to do correctly ... so throwing more bodies at it does not really help that much. The order the packages are built in is important ... and now with several versions of different packages (like samba and samba3, postgresql and postgresql84, etc.) in the same tree, it becomes even that much harder to get this right. Then there is the control of the keys that sign the packages and access to the infrastructure one would need in order to push packages, etc. We must vet the people who we would give this kind of access to. We have to know them and trust them before they can have that kind of access. As I said before, Oracle has not had their stuff released for very long and while Scientific Linus has released some Alpha/Beta stuff along the way, they also have not released 5.6 or 6.0 either. This is not easy. It takes time. We will get both of these out as soon as we can.

[CentOS] apache 2 and php 5.2
Hi originally I installed php 4 on centos 5.5 and then a few repos including the remi repo to upgrade to php5, which seems to upgrade/work without any issues. However when I make a change to the /etc/php.ini file it doesn't look like apache is seeing it, for example if I change the post_max_size and upload_max_file to 25M each apache still sees the default 2M. I also removed the /etc/php.ini file and apache is able to start with no problems and it will still see the default 2M. I was wondering if anyone can tell me why apache is not taking the settings from the /etc/php.ini file and it works without that file.

[CentOS] Creating floppy image without root permissions?
Hello All: I've recently had to provision some RHEL and CentOS VMWare instances. There was no network connectivity so I had to use a kickstart floppy and DVD iso rather than installing from our repository. To create the floppy I used the following: As root: dd if=/dev/zero of=floppy.flp bs=1k count=360 mkfs.vfat floppy.flp mount -o loop floppy.flp /mnt/floppy cp base_kickstart.ks /mnt/floppy/ks.cfg umount /mnt/floppy It works, but now I need to automate the process and have to do with without root access. Is there a way to create a floppy iso with a single file without root access? I looked at fuseiso, but it appears that it still requires some root permissions. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Insert the second CD of an install
Using CentOS 5.5 x86_64. I am trying to install software that comes on two discs. I can start the install just fine, but when it comes to taking out the first disc and putting in the second, the system won't let me eject it. I remember reading something on the internet once about something needing to be enabled to allow this to work, but I can't find it now. Does anybody have a clue as to what I might be looking for? (Yes, the work around is to just mount both ISOs and not use real discs at all, but as administrator I understand that process and my users won't. However, they are familiar with the process of inserting disks.)

Hi Paul. Creat a php file with this as the contents: php-info Then load that file into your web browser. It should produce a page showing all the active php configuration settings. Check the paths where php looks for it's php.ini files. Obviously you need to restart apache to make the php module read the changes you have made to the php.ini file.

[CentOS] kmod-e1000e and Intel Network Card
Hi list It's my first message here, but I use CentOS from long time ago (sorry my language, I'm spanish from Colombia) I have a Intel board with an Integrated Network Card 82578DC. I've sucessfully installed the driver with the RPM kmod-e1000e; I've found it in ElRepo.org, and I've installed it via Yum. After I've installed the package (see this: http://lists.elrepo.org/pipermail/elrepo/2010-December/000416.html ), I do: ifdown eth1 modprobe -r e1000e ifup eth1 After these steps, my card works OK and get a valid IP address. However, when I reboot my machine, I must write those commands again. I've tried to put e1000e in /etc/modprobe.d/blachlist; however, it doesn't works. Does anubody knows what must I do to have my network card working from start? Thanks! ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Why can't some of the wealthy organisations who run successful, financially rewarding, businesses that profit from wonderful Centos employ ONE extra member of staff who is then seconded, remotely of course, to the Centos project ??? Alternatively those organisations could dedicate 30% or 40% or 50% etc. of a competent computer person's working time to the Centos project. Its simple. Why isn't someone doing it ???

Re: [CentOS] Bacula
talk to the system & database administrator for the machine, assuming they are interested in getting it backed up.

[CentOS] NIC bonding - missing eth0?
I have nic bonding (mode=802.3ad) setup on 2 servers, both running Centos 5.5 In the "Active Aggregator Info", on one reports 4 ports - which is correct - but the other only reports 3 ports. It's always eth0 that shows a different aggregator ID. Changing the cables around so it hits a different port on the switch makes no difference. The switch is correctly configured for the port channel. The only difference between the 2 servers is one is running Xen (kernel-xen-2.6.18-194.32.1.el5.centos.plus) so I have a few virtual interfaces and bridges. Any ideas what might be happening?

I'm using the gplpv passthru driver now so it's using my nic directly rather than a virtual Realtek 100Mbps one and I'm getting much better transfer speeds - a recommendation from the Xen mailing list.
