Re: [CentOS] Simple way to banish IP addresses ?

2009-10-11 Thread Oliver Ransom
The best way to do it is with iptables. If you want something "more easily configurable" then some front end for it would be most useful. Webmin most likely provides a graphical interface to do it. Adding rules to drop traffic from IPs or whole subnets is not that difficult if you have a bas

Re: [CentOS] Automatical resync of MD, why?

2009-11-01 Thread Oliver Ransom
When you cat /proc/mdstat does it actually say "syncing" or does it say "checking"? I believe a newer version of mdadm creates a weekly cron job to check the arrays. I first mistakenly assumed it was resyncing and started worrying since it was doing all 8 of my RAID1 arrays at once, but aft
