The way I understand it:
- Disks have errors.
- After a defined number of errors, the disk is declared as having a 
"predictive failure".
Not sure if it is only the spare space getting almost fully used, or if it is 
more statistical...

 Just a thought, have you tried flushing yum's metadata?  I have run
 across a couple of instances where yum seems to get a bit... retentive
 and won't retrieve new metadata for one or more repositories.  I
 usually
 run "yum clean metadata" or "yum clean all", then re-try the operation.
Unless it is something *I* have boogered badly it usually works.

The problem is that you do not ONLY need kmod-nvidia ... you also need
"nvidia-x11-drv" from elrepo ... however, you only have
"includepkgs=kmod-nvidia" in your config, so the requirements of
"nvidia-x11-drv" can not be met.  If you add "nvidia-x11-drv" to your
includepkgs line, it should work fine.

Hey, Johnny, catching up on last week? I'd added that, then it *seemed* to
be the case that if I had two separate lines of includepkgs, it only saw
one. As soon as I had both on one line, it saw them.

Unfortunately, there's something odd between my user's machine and CentOS
and kmod-nvidia - he started getting weird messages he'd never seen
before, so I had to uninstall it (after all that work), and go back to
building using the proprietary installer.

*sigh*

[CentOS] Is gnome-devel-docs supposed to work with devhelp?

2012-07-30 Thread Frank Cox 
I just installed gnome-devel-docs with the objective of having a local copy of
the gnome hig-book and now that I have it installed I don't know how to use it.

I had assumed that it would show up in devhelp but it doesn't.  What I have is
a bunch of XML files in /usr/share/gnome/help/hig-book/C, and when I try to
view one with firefox it tells me "This XML file does not appear to have any
style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below. "

What am I supposed to use to read the hig-book files?

[CentOS] rsync question

2012-07-30 Thread Smithies, Russell 
I'm trying to rsync a 8TB data folder containing squillions of small files and 
it's taking forever (i.e. weeks) to get anywhere.
I'm assuming the slow bit is check-summing everything with a single CPU (even 
though it's on a 12-core server ;-(  )
Is it possible to do something simple like scp the whole dir in one go so 
they're duplicates in the first instance, then get rsync to just keep them in 
sync without an initial transfer?

Or is there a better way?

use the rsync mode that goes off file timestamp and size.  the 
checksuming block algorithm is only useful on large files that get small 
random block changes.

[CentOS] Can,t get pam_mkhomedir to work...

2012-07-30 Thread Nicolas Ross 
On a ldap enabled CentOS 6.3 x64 system, I try to make it so home 
directories are auto-created. I added this :

session required  pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0077

to my /etc/pam.d/system-auth

And it does nothing. I restarted messagebus (I've seen references to 
that) and sshd, and logs don't mention anything in regards to 
pam_mkhomedir...

Any hints ?

I use tar and ttcp for an initial transfer:

On the receiving end:

ttcp -l5120 -r | tar xf -

On the transmitter:

tar cf - . | ttcp -l5120 -t name-of-receiver

Note: The files are transmitted without encryption.

I easily get 110 Mbytes/sec. on a gigabit connection.

If you need encryption, and your transfer is CPU limited, you should 
investigate which cipher to use. In my case arcfour128 is the fastest,
so I use:

rsync --rsh='/usr/bin/ssh -c arcfour128' ...

after the initial transfer with ttcp.
