I don't know how either of us could have made our opinions any more clear... Don't use the 3ware/LSI SATA RAID controllers in RAID 5 or RAID 6 mode if performance and reliability are of concern. I only use hardware RAID because performance and reliability are my concern. I am told that the Areca cards are much better on RAID 5/6 but I have no first hand experience with them. While you may get better performance with write-back caching (don't enable without a BBU), the improvement is incremental. Stick with RAID 10.

[CentOS] Question on CR
I've been re-reading http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2011-August/017689.html I'm not clear as to when an update would go into the normal updates repository and when it'd go into the cr repository. Please don't take this the wrong way; I'm not attacking; I'm just trying to understand how this works. My best guess is that upstream is now 5.7 and bug fixes would be against 5.7, but since we're at 5.6 those fixes don't specifically apply, and so the cr is a temporary holding place for packages (and their dependencies) which would normally be in 5.7 but that need an earlier release (eg security). In this way cr is an attempt to provide timely security patches while the new release is still being prepared and validated. Is that correct? Are cr packages still validated as strictly as every other package? Are there any potential negative consequences of using cr? (Of course that posting - Aug 15th - hoped 5.7 would be out by 25th :-)) Thanks! -- rgds Stephen ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

And at the moment, the usage of CentOS 6 as a server platform is irresponsible risk (just for example - there is an uncovered httpd DoS, the same is for Samba, e.t.c). And more and more people start to realize that there is practically no (security) support in CentOS 6.

My CentOS box is my mail server. It uses procmail as the delivery agent, so it honors the .procmailrc filter in every user's home directory. I use that to pre-deliver list mail to list-specific folders in my ~/mail hierarchy (~/Maildir if you use Maildir format) and then read the result with the Mulberry mail client and Dovecot as the IMAP server. It should be straightforward to add additional filter rules to .procmailrc to either remove mail from selected senders or add flags that your email client would understand to hide or highlight.

[CentOS] WINS server (nmbd) puzzle
My client Windows XP boxes are failing to register with my WINS server (running nmbd from Samba). I'm puzzled how to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Background: I'm setting up BackupPC to back up my Windows clients using rsync. I've installed cwRsync to the clients. BackupPC uses nmblookup to find the client's IP address given its Windows NETBIOS name. I'm distributing the WINS server address via DHCP and see it on the client using "ipconfig /all". I can run tcpdump on the server (filtering for this client and the NETBIOS port) and see the register/response sequence at UDP 137: MULTIHOMED REGISTRATION; REQUEST; UNICAST REGISTRATION; POSITIVE; RESPONSE; UNICAST REGISTRATION; REQUEST; UNICAST REGISTRATION; POSITIVE; RESPONSE; UNICAST If I signal the nmbd process with SIGHUP to make it dump its table to nmbd.log, I don't see client in the list. I do see the server and my Windows Active Directory server's records in the list, but no clients. nmblookup finds the client by broadcast (the client responds with the record) but nmblookup -U 127.0.0.1 says there's no record of it. (A query for the server's own record finds it, so I know the WINS service is at least working to that degree.) So why is nmbd not remembering client records? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Centos 5.6 : Apache bug fix = PHP Exec no longer works
A few days ago I upgraded from the Centos 5 CR repository software including Apache. The Apache on my development server is: Apache/2.2.3 Aug 31 2011 20:18:21 httpd.x86_64 0:2.2.3-53.el5.centos.1 A previously working PHP Exec(...) command on a web page no longer works. After spending 7+ hours Googling, checking file and directory permissions, whether SELinux is on or off and doing numerous tests my once very nice routine will not work because the Shell processing by Apache seems to have altered. The consistent error message always includes: No such file or directory or command not found I have downgraded to httpd.x86_64 0:2.2.3-45.el5.centos.1 and restarted httpd but the problem persists. It appears to me, the PHP EXEC command is being executed in a 'black hole' with no access to the directory structure and that is why the weird error message occur. Helpful comments appreciated.
