Christopher Chan wrote: Heitor Augusto M Cardozo wrote: Hi all, In last year, i had made some research and benchmarks based on CentOS 4 to know which filesystem is better for Maildir: ReiserFS, XFS or EXT3. My conclusion was as follows: - EXT3: reliable but very slow to read many small files. - ReiserFS: best performance but unreliable and bad recovery tools. - XFS: My choice, good performance and reliability. I would contest the last two. I had two bad experiences with ReiserFS in our Mail Server, reiserfsck is too slow and lost data. IMHO ReiserFS have the best performance for Maildir but its only safe on production if you´re sure that the system I/O will never fail. On CentOS 5.0, a had the same benchmarks and now, EXT3 and XFS seems to had better or equivalent performance on Read and Create Random files. One of this tests, using bonnie++, show this: # bonnie++ -d /mnt/sdc1/testfile -s 8192 -m `hostname` -n 50:15:5000:1000 bonnie++? Not appropriate. Try this: http://untroubled.org/benchmarking/2004-04/ And add JFS to the mix. You will be surprised. I already done tests with fsbench and the results on CentOS 4.5 were equivalent: the performance of XFS was much higher than EXT3. Then, i retest using fsbench, bonnie++ and iozone on CentOS 5.0, and the results now show the EXT3 (dir_index, noatime) with performance similar to XFS. What i want to know is: Anyone use or recommend EXT3 for Maildir? If you do not have full blown battery back for write caches yes. My configuration: 3Ware 9650SE-8LPML, 8 drives SATA2 ST3500630AS 500GB on RAID 10. Add BBU and XFS or JFS should do. Yes, the BBU is installed and write_cache is enable. I will test JFS to compare.

There is a NetworkManager package for CentOS 4 and 5 which has a gnome "helper" UI, but I found that it didn't play well with ndiswrapper (which I needed because the bcm43xx driver didn't work for me) so I ended up disabling it.

This won't help you if you're already up and running, but if you're looking to set this up during installations, then look at copying a .repo file over from a shared location with a kickstart installation file. A post-installation shell command can do that for you down the road if you don't find Dag's tool handy. I've done this in the past to not have to edit things like this during a new install.

Hmmm, needed to proxy the mirror.centos.org too, since up2date does not use
the yum.cond.d stuff .
So to proxy
Capture all mirrorlist.centos.org and mirror.centos.org and redirect to your
internal versions respectively.
Our local dns is "poisoned" to point to our internal servers. From there its
all cake.

Re: [CentOS] Using a local mirror? [SOLVED]
This is a bit late, I know, but I found a similar setup described at: http://www.gurulabs.com/goodies/YUM_automatic_local_mirror.php Their server appears to be down right now, but that's where I found the information. The original was designed for Fedora, but it was adapted to CentOS pretty easily. I've been using this for about 4 months now with great results. Rather than spoofing the mirrorlist.centos.org entry in DNS, I just have anybody that wants to use the local mirror put an entry in their /etc/hosts file pointing to the IP address of the local server. The Perl CGI script adds the entry for our local server to the results returned from the real mirror list and depends on yum-fastestmirror to pick the local server from the list. Since we don't mirror all architectures on our local server, I added some intelligence to the Perl script so that it would only add the local server if the requested repository, release, and architecture were on the local server. If anybody wants to see the final results, just let me know and I'll post my modified script and the Apache config fragment or a pointer to it. -- Jay Leafey - Memphis, TN [EMAIL PROTECTED] smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] reasons for using CentOS in business environments
My apologies if this question has been previously answered, but could anyone here provide me with resources that I might use to help build a case for exclusively using CentOS in an enterprise environment? (Approximately 200 servers) Long story short, I've used a little of everything out there (Gentoo/Debian/*BSD/Slackware) and have a fairly good overall strategy of how they all work (all of them have lived on my laptop at one time or another over the last 10 years or so), but I'm now looking for solid business reasons that I can present to the CxO types of a company to show them that CentOS is probably where they'd like to look. Reasons thus far I've come up with include: --free *and* "fully" (at least, in my experience) compatible with RHEL --fairly stable (I don't have problems unless I start mixing repos) --yum packages (almost as cool as Debian! Ok, I'm biased...or maybe I don't know how to properly use yum?) Any other suggestions / tips I might add to my list would be greatly appreciated! ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If this is a Linux shop, the answer would be what everybody is most comfortable with. That fact that you can now make your own repository/repositories has made the score more even against Debian, deb and apt. Any distro without tools for managing packages on multiple servers from a local repository should be dropped. You can therefore paint Centos in this light as one that meets such needs. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
