 On a related note, is it necessary to receive all the messages on the
 centos-docs list in order to contribute?  I don't mind having to
 subscribe as a sort of double-check that I'm not creating my wiki
 account just to spam it, but I'd like to change my delivery
 preferences to disabled.

If you absolutely must :) 

This list is there for discussion of stuff going on the wiki/into other
means of documentation, but no, if you really don't want to read it, go
ahead.

 No intento hacer top posting, pero no se como

top-posting es responde un mensaje electronico
justamente en la parte superior del mensaje, en lugar
de hacerlo precisamente despues del texto que quieres
responde. como mismo estoy haciendo yo en estos
momentos, así es facil seguir una conversacion

 mostrales estos
 archivos. ¿Alguien me puede ayudar a solucionar mi
 problema?
 

a ver, es evidente que estas comenzando en el mundo
linux, es por esto que mi primera recomendacion es que
leas manuales, no es esperes aprenderlo todo
cachareando el sistema (como usualmente se hace en
windows) es decir, antes que nada deberias leerte las
guias de redhat (estas usando centos, no?)

segundo, existen 7 runlevels en un linux, empezando
por el 0 y terminando en el runlevel 6, usualemente
solo se usan:
0: apagar la maquina
1: single user (modo administracion)
2: no se usa
3: trabajo sin X, normalmente este es el runlevel en
que se encuentran los servidores
4: no se usa
5: modo grafico
6: reinicio de la maquina

entonces, al parecer solo has intentado usar tu
maquina en modo 1 y modo 5, por que no intentas con el
runlevel 3?

desde ahi podrias levantar el kde como mismo lo haces
ahora, solo que los otros servicios de ese runlevel
deberian arrancar

usualmente con startx se pueden ver los errores, y si
puedes arrancar así entonces no debes de tener
problema en la configuracion de X

quizas sea n servicio que no quiere levantar o se
queda esperando por algo indefinidamente :-(
podrias identificarlo si te fijas en que servicio se
queda antes de quedarse negra la pantalla

cat /etc/modprobe.conf
es la manera más simple de ver que tiene dentro ese
fichero

Free it's not something you should mention to management (well, certainly not

RHEL compatibility sounds good, but then you'd have to answer another

Truth.

That's very technical, avoid it unless you know what you're doing ;) Besides, 
rpms and yum sux ;)

- Well tested software (pacjages),
- Huge user-base (implicates above)
- Good hardware support, especially when we are talking about enterprise stuff

Hi Friends,

I am planning to upgrade my mail server from CentOS4.5 to CentOS5. By
this, I also planned to replace my postfix mail server with Scalix
although the community edition limit me to just 25 premium user, I think
it is suffice for us with the remaining user as standard user (with
approx.  100 users total). Is there a catch on using Scalix based on
your experience. I see that Horde is available from Dag's repository, do
you think it is better for me to use that instead? Is there anyone using
it that may share their gotchas and good points from their experience
for me to prepare and be ready. Thank you in advance.

Scalix has announced starting with Version 11.3, to be released mid
December 2007, the number of premium users available in the Community
Edition will be reduced from 25 to 10. The number of standard users will
remain unlimited for now. There is new commercial licenses available
starting at 20 users to fill in the gap. You can continue to use Ver.
11.2 which will remain at 25 premium users forever, but there are
several serious issues in this version which will not be addressed
except by updating to 11.3.

In our experience the most current version of the Community Edition
tends to be beta test software - YMMV. Using any version of the
Community Edition in a commercial or educational environment would not
be a good idea without a paid for support contract from Scalix.

Just because there is no commercial support does not mean it isn't a

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.


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.



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.


Thanks for your help.


Please post your findings. :-)

I'm doing new tests with ReiserFS, XFS, EXT3 and JFS in CentOS 5. I will 
post soon as possible.

RE: [CentOS] 2 DHCP server in one subnet

2007-11-28 Thread Bleier Thomas
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...

Just my 2c,

I have a simple rule that determines is I use RHEL or CentOS in my work 
environment.  Does the software running on this machine require RHEL in 
order to have vendor support.  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.


Hope this helps.

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

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.

I've lost several file systems to reiserfs, originally figuring that they

We're using ext3 now as it appears to be rock-solid, is supported out of

 I have CentOS-5 on a Thinkpad X61s and also only have sound as my major issue.
 Otherwise, it's great and I see no reason to run Fedora/Ubuntu.

 Anyway, I'll throw up my experiences on the wiki soon, though it's been a few
 months, so my memory's patchy.

 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.

No.

You should be able to setup the W2K DHCP server.

You can define a reservation, add some host (harware mac) to it and
specify some custom parameter using named option or directly its number,
for 'next-server' and maybe 'filename' (I dont know to much LTSP)

OPS: Les sugest to avoid the separate reservation and put all new options in
your already existing reservation, why not !



 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?

2007-11-28 Thread Mike

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?

The Cisco vpn client is only given to the people that buy those vpns.  Whoever

[CentOS] Help with file descriptors

2007-11-28 Thread Guy Boisvert

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.


	Is there anybody on the list that can comment on what the Communigate 
tech support guy said about the getdtablesize thing ?



Thanks in advance!

I am currently trying EGroupware, which is I believe a fork from PHPGroupware. 
I looked at horde webmail, but I had problems with html e-mails which my users 
will surely want to be able to read.


No timetable yet, as I am currently beating on it myself before I let some 
users beta-test it. I wanted something that I could use with my existing 
mailscanner/sendmail/spamassassin setups as they work too well to abandon them.


The old servers had openwebmail, but it uses direct mbox reads instead of

on 11/28/2007 12:03 PM Guy Boisvert spake the following:

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.


Is there anybody on the list that can comment on what the 
Communigate tech support guy said about the getdtablesize thing ?



Thanks in advance!

[CentOS] mod_gnutls on Centos 4

2007-11-28 Thread David Hrbáč
Hi,
as you might know I have created mod_gnutls for CentOS4 a few months ago.

I'd like to ask if someone is using it? It seems to me that it's not
able to handle higher load. When user hits F5 there are a few httpd
processes running the full cpu. Strace shows nothing, server-status
marks them reading. :o( It seems to me that when user breaks/stops the
request httpd breaks. Any experiences?

As usual, commercial support is just making things up.  This one is easy to 
actually test.

  #include unistd.h
  #include stdio.h

  int main (void) {
printf(current file limit: %d\n,getdtablesize);
exit (0);

$ gcc getdtablesize.c

(results will vary).




OMG!  Exactly what i needed!  It reminds me when i was coding C on a Sun 
SparcStation 10 about 15 years ago!



I did compile the code and obtained exactly the same number.

I guess you are monitoring interrupt activity by processor (sar -I PROC).

See Red Hat Linux 9: Red Hat Linux System Administration Primer [0] or
the sar man page - Here quote from the guide:

 By using the command sar -I PROC, it is possible to break down 
 interrupt activity by processor (on multiprocessor systems) and by 
 interrupt level (from 0 to 15):

 This report (which has been truncated horizontally to fit on the
 page) includes one column for each interrupt level (the i002/s field
 illustrating the rate for interrupt level 2). If this were a
 multiprocessor system, there would be one line per sample period for
 each CPU.
 
 Another important point to note about this report is that sar adds or
 removes specific interrupt fields if no data is collected for that
 field. This can be seen in the example report above; the end of the
 report includes interrupt levels (3 and 10) that were not present at
 the start of the sampling period.

[CentOS] Centos 5.1 distro: How to upgrade 5.0 to 5.1 with yum??

2007-11-28 Thread Robinson Tiemuqinke
Hi,

 Redhat announced RHEL 5.1 on Nov 07, so hopefully
CentOS 5.1 will be ready shortly. But I get kind of
nervous of the arrival of 5.1.

 My problem is: I have hundreds Centos 5.0 boxes just
finished installation and I will continue to install
and upgrade hundreds more in next few months. 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/...)?

 A similar question is: are the update diretories
contains only updates for 5.1 distro, or both 5.0 and
5.1?

 Any clarifications are greatly appreciated.

 There may also be the need to copy/transfer information among

 Do you support these, and how complete is your product line

 Based on your answer, I'll know whether to go with a virtual 
 machine-based solution, which means a Windows VM, or can 
 remain Linux-only, with your solution.

You will need a VM based solution. I don't know how good Xen
will be in 5.1, but it's an option.

I myself have been toying with the idea of a minimal CentOS 5.1
Xen install, no GUI just a small Dom0, and then running an
Ubuntu DomU with GUI on 1 virtual console and Windows XP on
another, possible a Fedora on a 3rd and keeping the VM images
in raw LVM LVs that are allocated and managed from the Dom0.

This may be the ideal way to go with such beefy hardware to
make sure you use up all those nice resources effectively.

It's simply. All things from 5.0 to 5.1 will be done automatically via 
yum (as standard update) or in rare situation can be possibly depedency 
problem (when mixing different repo ?).


So don't worry. if you are really affraid - update only one box and test

I must say. In Centos 4 world all updates from 1 to 2 to 3 ... to 5 were 
go in smooth way.

Don't think of 5.0 and 5.1 as different distros.  They are the same distro.

Think of it as a bunch of non-critical updates that were withheld from the
regular update cycle, tested as a set, and released all at once with a new
installer image.  It is just an update, analogous to a Windows service pack.

Think of RHEL5 as the distro, evolving through time, and 5.1 as a well-tested
snapshot of RHEL5 at a particular point in time.  

A regular 'yum update' will bring in all of the new updates.  There is no need
to reinstall the OS.

gd and gd-devel would appear to be the correct packages.  (gdi is something 
else)

Are you getting an error from configure or make?  Show us the exact command and
error message.

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.

  :



When I saw this, ulimit -n immediately came to mind 
(and is usually 1024 -- the maximun # of files that any given
process can have open).  [See man ulimit.]

If this runs as non-root, it won't be able to take the limit
higher 

Hope this helps (and is not completely off-base)

   -rak-




Hi!

I think you may have missed my other posts.  Here what i have:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ulimit -n
30
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]#   cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
30
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# grep nofile /etc/security/limits.conf
*   -   nofile  30


(I pushed it up a lot as you can see!)

I have a script (using lsof) that runs every 10 minutes and i saw 
Communigate's file descriptors as high as 100 000.  But Communigate tech 
support guy told me that lsof gives the total used by all threads of 
Communigate, which duplicate the info and add up.  Communigate is using 
64 threads right now.


Mr. Garrick Staples kindly came with C code to check the number returned 
by the function getdtablesize which Communigate is supposed to use. 
CentOS 4.4 returns:


current file limit: 134513392

... and Communigate 5.0.9 gets only 1024 supposedly by using the same 
call!  This explains why i get too many files open in this process, 
with about 40 users using MAPI Plugin under Outlook accessing a 41 Gigs 
public folder...


The tech guy told me that Outlook can open many simultaneous IP 
connections to the server, each connection eating 2 files descriptors.


I'll get the latest version of Communigate we can get with our licence 
(5.0.14) and see how it goes.  I'm very impressed by the quality of the 
information we can get out of this list!



Thanks for your input!

  You could change gpgcheck=0 in your yum.conf. You can change it back

  I haven't found a commandline option to yum to not check for signed 
  packages.
  Something like --nogpgcheck would be nice.
  
 
 just use rpm since you've downloaded the package:
 rpm -K package.rpm checks the package (checksums and sigs if available)
 rpm -i package.rpm installs it, whether it's signed and checked or not
 
 to import the kde-redhat repo public key: as it says on the front page 
 of their website http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/
 rpm --import http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/gpg-pubkey-ff6382fa-3e1ab2ca
 
 that's a single line in case it wrapped
 
 but since you say 'package not signed' and not 'public key not found' or 
 some such, the problem is probably not that you don't have the key. 
 Rather, I guess the package really isn't signed. Not 100% sure because I 
 don't yum, I apt, but the message is pretty explicit.
 rpm -i will work
 
 you should talk to the kde-redhat devs, if it's really their package 
 it's probably unintended that the package is unsigned.

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.  I thought I 
saw something about 5.x having a way to restore the old way without 
being tied to a single repository, but I've forgotten it now.

 I have had my local 5.0 update repository
(.../centos/5.0/updates/{SRPMS,i386,x86_64}/...) setup
and used it for my 900+ boxes's daily upgrade already.
The repository is synchronized with official Internet
mirrors daily to keep it current.

 My major concerns is: After the 5.1 is released, the
update channel/directory
(.../centos/5.1/updates/{SRPMS,i386,x86_64}/...)  may
change to contain only updates for 5.1
snapshot/release, not updates since 5.0. If so, then
all my Centos 5.0 boxes will suffer.  

 I have the serious concern because most Centos Mirror
sites on Internet ONLY keep the updates for latest
release/snapshot, not holds updates since the
base(3.0, 4.0, 5.0 etc) release. This seems like a big
problem if we would like to install from base|initial
release (3.0, 4.0, 5.0) continuously and then use a
single up-to-date update/ repository to upgrade
machines to current level.

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.  If the
same is true for all other sites honoring 5.0 series,
then I think I will definitely get screwed If I tried
to keep on using base 5.0 and daily synced  updates/
(exactly the same) for upgrade.

Any mirror sites hold updates since base release? Or I
have to keep on adding more repositories to yum's
configuration? 5.0 distro, 5.0 updates, 5.1 distro,
5.1 updates, 5.2 distro, 5.2 updates. etc. If so, then
it is too low-performanced and erro-prone. 

Any one have experience on upgrade Centos 4 releases
from 4.0 to 4.5 can shed a light on this?

Thanks a lot.

[CentOS] Severe VMware slowdown

2007-11-28 Thread Mark Hull-Richter
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.

Hmm, could be the memory thing -- as the result of the second guest.
How much memory is allocated to it?

When the slowdown occurs, can you check vmstat / iostat on the host and
see if the system is swapping?  Watch free as well.

 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.

 P.S.: Now I'm thinking that my earlier remark about applications was a
 bit overstated

 Hmm, could be the memory thing -- as the result of the second guest.
 How much memory is allocated to it?

768MB to each one.

 When the slowdown occurs, can you check vmstat / iostat on the host and
 see if the system is swapping?  Watch free as well.

It's not so much of a slowdown as a hang.  The whole system stops
(except for something that is hanging everything else).

After posting this, I went in and brought up the machine - it took a
few minutes to get to the Windows login screen, and then when I
clicked on it, the system hung for an hour.  There is a hole in the
log here, too, a little over an hour long:

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.

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.

I'll look, but, as much as I don't care for Windows, I don't think
this is a Windows problem at all.  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.

 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

 don't see any (technical) reason why to keep the W2K DHCP...

Dear friends,
Thank you very much for all the help. Much appreciated.

[CentOS] Stuck at GRUB

2007-11-28 Thread Ugo Bellavance

Hi,

I have a Dell poweredge 400SC here with an LSI scsi card.

I installed Centos4 a while ago and put it in a datacenter.  I rebooted 
many weeks after, and the machine didn't come back up.  So I went to the 
datacenter tonight to find out that the server was stuck at GRUB. 
Nothing more.


	So I decided to re-install Centos4.  The partitions were already there, 
so I just made sure partitions were formatted and the install went fine. 
 When I rebooted, GRUB.


	I'm at this point and I don't know exactly what I could do to diagnose 
furthere.


Any ideas?

Regards,

Ugo

IIRC, RHEL4 does not properly handle installation of grub on mirrored

Yeap, this is true. After installing centos4 on RAID1 disk (software 
raid) i always do:


grub
grubdevice (hd0) /dev/hdc
grubroot (hd0,0)   
grubsetup (hd0)


where /dev/hdc is second RAID DISK (it could be whatever: /dev/sdb1 etc)

So system is booting form first or second riad1 disk
