Re: [CentOS] reasons for using CentOS in business environments

(Approximately 200 servers) This question was probably anwered several times, but the truth is, that every case is different. Ok, maybe not so different. --free *and* fully (at least, in my experience) compatible with RHEL Free it's not something you should mention to management (well, certainly not the main tjhing, it does not build trust. Things are not better just because they are free) RHEL compatibility sounds good, but then you'd have to answer another question: why RHEL ;) --fairly stable (I don't have problems unless I start mixing repos) Truth. --yum packages (almost as cool as Debian! Ok, I'm biased...or maybe I don't know how to properly use yum?) That's very technical, avoid it unless you know what you're doing ;) Besides, rpms and yum sux ;) Any other suggestions / tips I might add to my list would be greatly appreciated! - Well tested software (pacjages), - Huge user-base (implicates above) - Good hardware support, especially when we are talking about enterprise stuff (SAN, tape libraries, etc.) - Supported by main hardware vendors (although indirectly) - Long support - Very good documentation - Certification paths available (indirectly).

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. Well, not on that...reiserfs assumes perfect media according to the complaints of some who use reiser so bad blocks could cause even the entire loss of the filesystem...not to mention that RH and therefore Centos (I wonder about plus...) does not support/maintain reiserfs. 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. What does fsbench say? It has the best writing performance too?!? No, according to the fsbench results, ReiserFS wins on Read Performance, but XFS is, approximately, four times more faster on write. I said that the ReiserFS have the best performance based on my read/write server statics, where read requests are 70% of total I/O requests. In production, with ReiserFS, the server load average was around 30% lower than XFS. 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. Now that is very interesting. 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.

RE: [CentOS] 2 DHCP server in one subnet
Hi Fajar, on the Linux DHCPD I would add an allow directive to the pool, and put your LTSP clients in a class: subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { class ltsp { match if ... } pool { ... allow members of ltsp; } } Afaik W2K DHCP does not have such an option - so you could probably try to fill the W2K DHCP address range with reservations, so that it does not have any more IP addresses to serve for other clients that you want. But I did not test that, so YMMV... You said you have to have your W2K server running - but couldn't you just disable the DHCP-Server on it and serve all your clients form the Linux DHCPD? Recent versions of dhcpd also support dynamic DNS registration, so I don't see any (technical) reason why to keep the W2K DHCP...

An extension of that rule is whether nor not Red Hat would support the specific use of this server in my environment. As an example, I have a server that is used to accept HTTPS PUTs. I am using a module called mod_put. This is the machine's only goal in life. If I were to call Red Hat for support, the first thing they would ask is if I have any 3rd party modules. Since I do, they would ask me to remove it in order to continue troubleshooting. Removing or disabling this functionality would lose its intended functionality. Therefore this machine runs CentOS.

This depends on your network topology. If you use the 2-NIC configuration on the k12ltsp server you will have a separate switch and subnet for the clients so there is no conflict with an existing DHCP server on your main network - and the k12ltsp server also provides NAT so even windows boxes on the client side will operate normally without other changes. Due to unexpected reason (little by little migration of w98 clients to LTSP), we need to keep the W2K server running in that network. Can we then have 2 DHCP server in the same subnet, only serving pre-determine clients using mac address? Any clue on how to setup the dhcpd.conf? If you have everything on a flat network it would be best to only run one DHCP server, but either the windows one or the k12ltsp one can be configured to do everything you need. The extra options you need to boot thin clients will simply be ignored by systems that don't want them. The other services on the w2k server can remain even if you shut down its dhcp service and rely on the k12ltsp server for that. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Due to unexpected reason (little by little migration of w98 clients to LTSP), we need to keep the W2K server running in that network. Can we then have 2 DHCP server in the same subnet, only serving pre-determine clients using mac address? Any clue on how to setup the dhcpd.conf?

[CentOS] Kernel panic - where to go from here?
CentOS 5 has been running continuously since 9/21 on my do everything home server (with the exception of a kernel update). It's a fairly old Athlon machine that serves as a firewall and various servers (dovecot, samba, NFS, dhcp, OpenVPN, etc). I connected via OpenVPN about a week ago and discovered I get a kernel panic. I've since found that this is very repeatable and happens only after being connected via OpenVPN for about 4 hours or so. I was able to manually copy the stuff on the console after the panic (see below). I googled unable to handle kernel paging request and didn't really find anything useful (to me). I've tried both kernel version 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 and 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5 as well as OpenVPN versions 2.1_rc4-1 and 2.0.9 all with the same results. Not sure where to go with this(?). Should I post this on a kernel mailing list? Or somewhere else?

Re: [CentOS] Announcing the CentOS on Laptops initiative
Dag, is this the correct page? http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/ It is. I forgot to send a link with the announcement :| And are we supposed to do it on our own page and then link to it? Seems like the existing ones are like that. No, I googled for specific keywords to find existing pages. These links eventually belong in their own Laptop-model pages. Or, if we create a page on there, should multiple entries of the same laptop model go on the same line somehow? What I prefer is to have one single page per Laptop model. And a different section for each CentOS version (starting with the latest, CentOS-5 first). If people have their own blog articles or webpages about their laptop model, I would like to have this information reside inside of that page (now they are on the index page temporarily). Sadly, for now, you have to request access to be allowed to create or edit these pages. I hope in the future we will have a more liberal view wrt. the wiki. PS I created this structure for your X60 for now, I plan to add my own laptops soon (but it does not include a X60). If you can add your information to this existing page, I am sure this is very valuable for another X60 owner. I think it is cool to see this effort undertaken, thanks Dag! :) I may need to install C5 on my Fujitsu that currently has Ubuntu on it.

[CentOS] Help with file descriptors
Hi all! I have a problem with CentOS 4.4 and Communigate Pro 5.0.9. As our user number grows, we are seeing too many files open error messages in Communigate logs. I spoke with Communigate tech support and they asked me to increase the number of file descriptors which i did. I put 128000 as a script i made to check Communigate open files reported as high as 99000.As i checked the Communigate log file, it reported that it sees 1024 available file descriptors. Reporting that to Communigate tech support, the guy answered: CommuniGate gets this number via getdtablesize() system call. Probably in CentOS the table has a fixed size so you need to recompile the kernel to expand it. Try upgrading CentOS to 4.5 (or whatever later version is available) I'm a little afraid of upgrading the server right away, i don't want to worsen the problem. Or maybe it's safe to do it. I dunno.

With the arrival of Centos 5.1, I don't like to reinstall them anymore but continuous upgrade instead -- if this is possible? Currently I download the Centos 5.0 upgrade packages from mirror sites on Internet (.../centos/5/updates/{SRPMS,i386,x86_64}/...), with the arrival of Centos 5.1, are the existing Centos 5.0 update packages will be removed in honor of Centos 5.1 updates? or it will stay? And how about the Centos 5.1's default packages in distro? Give an example here: 2.6.18-8.1.15 version kernel is the most recently updated kernel for Centos 5.0 distro, if the Centos 5.1 distro comes with 2.6.18-8.1.1 kernel and in the first few weeks there are no kernel updates for 5.1, then how can I upgrade my kernel to 2.6.18-8.1.1 naturally -- will the 2.6.18-8.1.1 shows in the same update sources directories(.../centos/5/updates/{SRPMS,i386,x86_64/...)?

Rather, I guess the package really isn't signed.

The lists have advice on this if you need it. With Centos 3.x you could easily pull things through a caching proxy by setting http_proxy in the environment from the command like: http_proxy=myproxy.mydomain.com yum update. and any number of machines at a location would only have to download a needed file once (assuming your proxy is configured to cache large files). However, newer releases use a mirrorlist approach that makes each machine pick a different url, defeating the caching.

For example, at Stanford's Centos 4 mirror site, only 4.5 is mirrored while all the other 4.0/4.1/4.2/4.3/4.4 are not. and in the updates/ directory only updates for 4.5 are kept there.

[CentOS] Severe VMware slowdown
In the last few days, I have noticed a drastic slowdown in my VMware Windows guest OS.. I recently bit the bullet and upgraded it from XP SP1 to SP2, and that seemed to work fine for quite a few days. The two major changes I made to the system recently were: 1) The most recent update from CentOS (can't remember which one, but it was within the last two weekd for 5.0). 2) Adding another VM guest OS, this one a CentOS 5.0 guest. What happens is, usually when I click the mouse in the Windows window, the system hangs up completely for some period of time that usually exceeds four minutes. Thereafter, once the VM is running, it will occasionally just stop when I am transitioning into the VM from elsewhere. I verified this using the CentOS system clock - last night it stopped at 23:01 and still read 23:01 when my cell phone, which is usually dead on in sync with the system clock, read 11:04pm. I cut back on the amount of memory allowed to the Windows VM (768MB, down from 1GB) and that seemed to help a little, but I have 2GB and I'm thinking that this should not be a problem. Any input would be helpful. Thanks. mhr P.S.: Now I'm thinking that my earlier remark about applications was a bit overstated ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

No, according to the fsbench results, ReiserFS wins on Read Performance, but XFS is, approximately, four times more faster on write. I said that the ReiserFS have the best performance based on my read/write server statics, where read requests are 70% of total I/O requests. Ah. Too bad reiserfs is not stable enough for you. I've lost several file systems to reiserfs, originally figuring that they were safe since SuSE has used them as their default for years. The thing is, people swear by reiserfs. They probably used it after 2.4.18 after the vfs layer in the linux kernel stabilized. We're using ext3 now as it appears to be rock-solid, is supported out of the box by every Linux I've used, and I've never lost one. Well I have. No, I do not intend to use anything other than ext3 as it is still the most stable of the lot unfortunately. We haven't had any notable performance problems using this at a regional ISP customer's site with about 10,000 e-mail users and several machines in a cluster delivering mail to Maildir folders that are NFS mounted to the central server. I did a lot of tweaking to get the best out of ext3, xfs and Linux when I worked for an email service provider that handled 30 million mailboxes and had hundreds of machines but that was on mta machines. ext3 was not used for maildir until a few years after I started working there presumably after I demonstrated that Linux and ext3/xfs have acceptable stability. When I started, most machines were running FreeBSD including the mta ones where my primary responsibilities laid. ext3 is (was with Centos5?) the slowest of all filesystems available for Linux. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If it were, it would only hang the vm, not the host and everything running on it, or so I would guess. The vmware serverd log shows a hole of about an hour and twenty minutes with no entries at all. I went in and removed all traces of the deleted vms that I could find, and that seemed to help a little, but it still has problems doing anything when the mouse moves or is clicked. I just realized that I installed a replacement k/b/m last week. I've been using a Logitech EX110 cordless k/b/m for about a year or so, and the number pad went south. Logitech sent me a new set, and I just plugged it in. It seems to work fine, although the mouse takes more than a touch to wake up (now). But, I have rebooted at least twice, so I would expect that to have taken care of the problem. mhr ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
