There is no difference in the 2 approaches if you want the latest updated version of the OS. You just need to use centos-6-os and centos-6-updates. If you install from a CentOS-6.0 iso and run yum upgrade, you will have all the latest set of updated RPMs. The one difference in having everything in one BIG repo is that you would have access to every single version, not just the latest version, of RPMS in that one repo. If you needed an older version of a particular package, it is fairly easy to do in that scenario. The negative is that it would be much larger than only the latest RPMS. Our vault.centos.org servers (were all the old releases are available if you actually need older RPMS for some reason), is 663GB. The mirror.centos.org trees are only 130GB. Since we push CentOS to more than 520 mirrors in 75 countries all over the world, we need to split out the latest trees (130GB) and make that available to millions of users. Vault (663GB) requires much more storage, but user demand is also much less for the older releases. Remember, Red Hat is a billion dollar company and CentOS runs our infrastructure completely on donated servers ... the fact that we can serve millions of users 130GB of data for free is nothing short of amazing ... but many of our machines do not have the capacity to serve all 663 GB of data. But we do also provide vault.centos.org for users who actually need all 663GB of data. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

There are 2 classes of these updates (Critical and Important) that should be applied ASAP after release to prevent root access by unauthorized users. It is extremely important to maintain Internet facing machines updated with security updates. There are 2 less severe security updates (Moderate and Low) that should also be installed, but are not as critical ... and there are also bugfix and enhancement updates that are a convenience, but likely not required. Machines get rooted if security updates are skipped ... don't do it. Our CentOS Announce list has "Topics" that split those announcements so you can minimize the traffice you get. One "topic" is "Security Updates" ... utilizing that and the Daily Digest feature, you can get one e-mail (only on days when we do a security release) to get minimum contact for only important announcements. Please use it. To understand how Red Hat rates "Severity" ... please review this: https://access.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/ Here is also some good reading concerning security metrics: http://www.redhat.com/security/data/metrics/ Stay updated !!!

[CentOS] Is CentOS-6.3-x86_64-netinstall.iso broken?
Hi, I'm probably doing something wrong or misunderstanding how this is supposed to work. I have written this ".iso" image to a DVD and booted from it. I then selected the first install option from the menu. I get some prompts and then I'm asked to specify where the media is. I assumed (there's that word) that I should just hit enter, thereby selecting the "from DVD" option. I got a message about not being able to find the install materials? Is this what the install process is looking for? Shouldn't it be looking in the network? Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

All the best Paul Please don't top post. See http://linux.sgms-centre.com/misc/netiquette.php among others. To answer the question, when doing the net install, you should see a screen saying something like What type of media contains the installation image. At that point, you should choose URL, assuming you're trying to get it from a CentOS mirror. It should then offer to configure the network--if you're on a typical local network, it will automatically configure it with DHCP. The next screen will ask you for the URL. You have to pick a CentOS mirror and manually enter one, for example http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/6.3/os/x86_64/ for the 64 bit version of 6.3, At that point, you should see that it's downloading the the installation image and when it completes, you'll go the graphic Anaconda installation screen. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Willow: Why couldn't he be possessed by a puppy, or some ducks? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Performance issue
Hi, I suspect a CPU bottleneck in one of our PostgreSQL servers but not sure how to confirm the suspect. It's a DELL Box running CentOS 5.4 with 64GB RAM and 16 XEON E7430 2.13 GHz processors. vmstat r column "run queue" usually indicates values higher than 2 and less than 5 but "Load Average" values from top, sar -q and other commands show always values less than 1. Should not these values be higher than 16 on a box with 16 processors to confirm a CPU constraint?

If you have single-threaded processes then that process could chew up 100% of a single core but not be able to run any faster. The load average would only be 1. Load average is a poor measure; look at %idle on each core. If you see one core with 0% idle then something is maxed out. -- rgds Stephen ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Performance issue
Hi, All 16 core show always %idle greater than 95% (mpstat -P ALL). So can I assume there is no CPU constraint in this box? Thank you!

The chances are that if you run chkconfig --list |grep on you will see that yum-updatesd (or something similar, I've forgotten the name) is starting at boot.(Or do ls /etc/init.d and look for something with yum in the name.) You can stop it (though it might take awhile to stop) with (once you determine the exact name, but we'll assume it's yum-updatesd) with service yum-updatesd stop chkconfig yum-updatesd off The second command will keep it from running at boot. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Buffy: Are you crazy?

Check the following line in /etc/named.conf and make sure you have both
ip addresses:
listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.1.6; };
Also, if you're using views, check the "match-clients" directive to see
if you're filtering out traffic coming from localhost.
