The aim however seems to be different. Although I am in favor of doing consistent Laptop tests as well, I prefer listing solutions for common problems (most problems are not model-specific) first and if this becomes a success, go one step further. We also cannot fix most problems that are in the Ubuntu Test template because we cannot change a lot of the packages from upstream. So we are by design limited to providing documentation and providing drivers/tools to make the user experience better. However if we do have a problem with upstream provided packages, we should definitely report them upstream. Now my initial goal is to have more information regarding CentOS on Laptops because that information is hard to find and because there is this misconception that Enterprise Linux belongs on servers (or are unfit for Laptops). -- -- dag wieers, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors] ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Some we're using for http(s) traffic, others smtp/pop/imap, others mysql (read only queries off replicas). There's no end to what what you could use heartbeat or ipvsadm/ldirectord or both for. Both packages can be installed from dag's repo. Thanks. What platform are you using? Mine is CentOS 5 on x86_64. It runs as a Xen DomU but from what I read on the linux-ha users mailing list this shouldn't be the issue. The production system will run on the bare metal (not under Xen). My experience with LVS at a previous workplace (a very large ISP) was also excellent - they had a couple of LVS servers in front of hundreds of mini-clusters (each such cluster service its own web or other network application, sometimes sharing disks using DRBD). The difference, I suspect, is that I'm trying this now with version 2.1.2 on CentOS 5 and x86_64, as opposed to possibly older version of everything (RedHat version, LVS, hardware (i386)).

The methodology and the conclusion i will publish later, however, it shows that the XFS obtained better performance and EXT3 had results that can now compete in this environment. Regards, Heitor A.M. Cardozo Christopher Chan wrote: 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. In production, with ReiserFS, the server load average was around 30% lower than XFS. I guess Hans got something right with his reiserfs. Please post your findings. :-) I'm doing new tests with ReiserFS, XFS, EXT3 and JFS in CentOS 5. I will post soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance. And sorry for my english...

Some we're using for http(s) traffic, others smtp/pop/imap, others mysql (read only queries off replicas). There's no end to what what you could use heartbeat or ipvsadm/ldirectord or both for. Both packages can be installed from dag's repo. Thanks. What platform are you using? Mine is CentOS 5 on x86_64. It runs as a Xen DomU but from what I read on the linux-ha users mailing list this shouldn't be the issue. The production system will run on the bare metal (not under Xen). My experience with LVS at a previous workplace (a very large ISP) was also excellent - they had a couple of LVS servers in front of hundreds of mini-clusters (each such cluster service its own web or other network application, sometimes sharing disks using DRBD). The difference, I suspect, is that I'm trying this now with version 2.1.2 on CentOS 5 and x86_64, as opposed to possibly older version of everything (RedHat version, LVS, hardware (i386)). Thanks for your input, Take Xen out of the picture until you learn how heartbeat and ipvsadm/ldirectord actually work. You could be having network issues because you are hosting it on a virtual server instead of on a real server. So it's kinda hard to troubleshoot if you don't even know if your configs are broken. Get two crappy boxes that you can load everything up on, configure them with heartbeat, get that working where it will failover an IP. then add some other service like ipvsadm/ldirectord, and take things one step at a time. Don't try to setup everything all at once, it makes it harder to try to debug problems. I'm using CentOS4 and RHEL4 using dag'd rpms on a few of the CentOS and RHEL boxes and built from source on some of the other ones. I haven't had a chance to try out a CentOS 5 system yet. But as to your stability questions, we've been using LVS for about 3 or 4 years now and never, ever had stability problems. -- -matt ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

After installing gd-progs, everything built fine.
So verify the following on your machine (make sure they are genuine centos

bridge is created but not activated.
Is there anyway for me to influence the activation order and have bridge
interfaces dealt with last?
there's probably a better way to do this, but what I've done in the past
is to create special firewall related kinda stuff like your'e describing
in my own script thats run quite late in the init sequence, usually from
rc2.d/S99myfirewall or even from /etc/rc.d/rc.local
Yes, there is probably a better way. My initial thought was to set ONBOOT=no
for the bridge interfaces and then bring them up in an initscript or
rc.local later.
Looking at the network startup script (/etc/init.d/network), though, it
looks like you can probably achieve the same effect simply by renaming the
ifcfg-brX files to something like ifcfg-zbrX.
There is a loop to bring up interfaces that looks like:
# bring up all other interfaces configured to come up at boot time
for i in $interfaces; do
and $interfaces is set just above by listing all files starting with ifcfg
and snagging the end part (e.g. eth0 or br0).
The loop figures out what kind of configuration it needs by reading the
file, so I don't think it cares what it is named, as long as it is
ifcfg-something. By renaming bridges to ifcfg-zbrX, it will come after
ifcfg-vlanX and I think solve your problem.
That was work, time for lunch :-)
Matt
I don't think so
the initial loop is not activating bridge and vlan:
if [ $TYPE = Bridge ]; then
bridgeinterfaces=$bridgeinterfaces $i
continue
fi
if [ ${DEVICE%%.*} != $DEVICE ] ; then
vlaninterfaces=$vlaninterfaces $i
continue
fi
Then later:
for i in $vlaninterfaces $bridgeinterfaces ...
snip a few lines
action $Bringing up interface $i: ./ifup $i boot
So, it should be bringing up your vlan interfaces before the bridges
do you have
TYPE=Bridge
in your bridge ifcfg file?

[CentOS] network interface activation order
I am using CentOS as a firewall/router. I am using bonded interfaces, vlan interfaces, and bridge interfaces. My problem currently is that on boot the system is attempting to activate the bridge interface before it's bonded-vlan members have been created.

By any chances, have you ran 'ps ax' from root and looked to see what does not look like it should be there?? IF you are willing, paste your 'ps' output for us to help you find the program that is running and sending out the emails. also review your sendmail rule set. Next, to help lock down your server a little more make sure you have set a password on your VNC. I had and Italian 17 year old poking around one of my Amateur Radio boxes via VNC, simply cause I forgot to set a vnc password, so it was wide open like a windoz server box without a login screen, you know, the good old I AM OPEN FOR YOUR PLEASURES... Also change your sshd, the port it is on, and do a rule set that only allows a specific ip to access it. I think I am correct saying you can do that as well with VNC.

It runs as a Xen DomU but from what I read on the linux-ha users mailing list this shouldn't be the issue. The production system will run on the bare metal (not under Xen). My experience with LVS at a previous workplace (a very large ISP) was also excellent - they had a couple of LVS servers in front of hundreds of mini-clusters (each such cluster service its own web or other network application, sometimes sharing disks using DRBD). The difference, I suspect, is that I'm trying this now with version 2.1.2 on CentOS 5 and x86_64, as opposed to possibly older version of everything (RedHat version, LVS, hardware (i386)). Thanks for your input, Take Xen out of the picture until you learn how heartbeat and ipvsadm/ldirectord actually work. You could be having network issues because you are hosting it on a virtual server instead of on a real server. So it's kinda hard to troubleshoot if you don't even know if your configs are broken. Get two crappy boxes that you can load everything up on, configure them with heartbeat, get that working where it will failover an IP. then add some other service like ipvsadm/ldirectord, and take things one step at a time. Don't try to setup everything all at once, it makes it harder to try to debug problems. I'm using CentOS4 and RHEL4 using dag'd rpms on a few of the CentOS and RHEL boxes and built from source on some of the other ones. I haven't had a chance to try out a CentOS 5 system yet. But as to your stability questions, we've been using LVS for about 3 or 4 years now and never, ever had stability problems. Also, we're on a mix of i386 and x86_64 systems. But for each cluster the pair of nodes is identicle. -- -matt ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

in my own script thats run quite late in the init sequence, usually from
rc2.d/S99myfirewall or even from /etc/rc.d/rc.local
Yes, there is probably a better way. My initial thought was to set ONBOOT=no
for the bridge interfaces and then bring them up in an initscript or
rc.local later.
Looking at the network startup script (/etc/init.d/network), though, it
looks like you can probably achieve the same effect simply by renaming the
ifcfg-brX files to something like ifcfg-zbrX.
There is a loop to bring up interfaces that looks like:
# bring up all other interfaces configured to come up at boot time
for i in $interfaces; do
and $interfaces is set just above by listing all files starting with ifcfg
and snagging the end part (e.g. eth0 or br0).
The loop figures out what kind of configuration it needs by reading the
file, so I don't think it cares what it is named, as long as it is
ifcfg-something. By renaming bridges to ifcfg-zbrX, it will come after
ifcfg-vlanX and I think solve your problem.
That was work, time for lunch :-)
Matt
I don't think so
the initial loop is not activating bridge and vlan:
if [ $TYPE = Bridge ]; then
bridgeinterfaces=$bridgeinterfaces $i
continue
fi
if [ ${DEVICE%%.*} != $DEVICE ] ; then
vlaninterfaces=$vlaninterfaces $i
continue
fi
Then later:
for i in $vlaninterfaces $bridgeinterfaces ...
snip a few lines
action $Bringing up interface $i: ./ifup $i boot
So, it should be bringing up your vlan interfaces before the bridges
do you have
TYPE=Bridge
in your bridge ifcfg file?
I had TYPE=bridge, and it very much so wants TYPE=Bridge.
thanks everyone for your help, it's working now.
