[CentOS] Mounting a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Hard Drive
Hi, I need to migrate about 8Tb of data from a Mac Fibre Channel RAID to by LVM Ext3 Linux Fibre Channel RAID. For speed I planned to connect both RAID's to my CentOS Server and copy the data directly. The Mac volume is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) it seems that CentOS 5.4 supports reading HFS volumes but not HFSPlus volumes. Is there a way of getting this volume to mount so I can copy of the data? I see Fedora has HFSPlus support Thanks Keith ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I see Fedora has HFSPlus support I'd be tempted to connect the HFS+ RAID back to the Mac and copy the data using rsync. Sure it won't be as quick as direct attached, but maybe quicker than waiting for a working solution. Or maybe try a Fedora live CD.

[CentOS] Patched KVM RPMs (solves 'network shutdown under heavy load')
Hi list, due to the necessity of having a patched KVM running, I build some new RPMs. However, only kmod-kvm-83-105.27.x86_64.rpm is important to replace the 'original' one as it's the only package that contains the patch. I didn't rename the packages, though, hopefully in order not to break the upgrade path provided to us. The patch adresses following problem: 'Fix a race condition where qemu finds that there are not enough virtio ring buffers available and the guest make more buffers available before qemu can enable notifications.' [0], the thread startet as 'network shutdown under heavy load' [1]. KVM already contains the fix (since February 19th, IIRC), CentOS' packages doesn't. The RPMs can be found here: http://www.riscworks.net/CentOS/KVM/fix-virt-io-ring-buffer-race/ Best, Timo [0] -- http://marc.info/?l=kvmm=126564542625725w=2 [1] -- http://www.mail-archive.com/k...@vger.kernel.org/msg26033.html ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Is there some configuration item in VSFTPD which can prevent this and reject packets from the additional ip addresses? Note, this is not the same session, it's a different connect with the same user credentials. I don't see a problem with this. It's not a security problem and it's hardly a load problem. Users usually don't have more than one IP at their disposal at the same time. This is one of the few cases where this is different. AFAIK, there is no option to allow only x logins per user, only x logins per IP. You could go to the vsftpd mailing list (if there is one) and ask about this additional feature.

Fine; however, according to python.org: The current production versions are Python 2.6.5http://python.org/download/releases/2.6.5/and Python 3.1.2 http://python.org/download/releases/3.1.2/. So, if production version == stable version, as I believe it should, there's a serious disconnect between the thinking of the folks at python and CentOS. I believe 2.4.6 has been stable for about 5 years, if I'm not mistaken, and that's an advance over what CentOS is packaging. Needless to say, I don't want to run software that's antique, and I think that's what CentOS is promoting, I'm sorry to say. So, am I stuck with tarballs?

Note, this is not the same session, it's a different connect with the same user credentials. I don't see a problem with this. It's not a security problem and it's hardly a load problem.

( http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General#head-472ce8446ebcfc82ca1800f775ba0e629ac835c7 ) Well that states that the latest stable version is supported by CentOS, not the cutting edge version. Fine; however, according to python.org: The current production versions are Python 2.6.5 and Python 3.1.2. So, if production version == stable version, as I believe it should, there's a serious disconnect between the thinking of the folks at python and CentOS. I believe 2.4.6 has been stable for about 5 years, if I'm not mistaken, and that's an advance over what CentOS is packaging. Needless to say, I don't want to run software that's antique, and I think that's what CentOS is promoting, I'm sorry to say. So, am I stuck with tarballs? I was hoping you would also look at the link to the backport page in that FAQ. It is all about Enterprise class Linux: ... One of these features changed the module interface. In this case, if Red Hat issued a security update with version 2.0.43 of the Apache HTTP Server, replacing version 2.0.40, any modules customers were using would have had to be updated (recompiled) to match the new module interface. If customers were using third-party modules, they would have had to go to their supplier of those modules to get updates. Moving from version 2.0.40 to 2.0.43 of the Apache HTTP Server would have required manual effort by system administrators; therefore, such an update would not be suitable for automated upgrade systems such as the Red Hat Network... In a package-based distro like CentOS, installing from tarballs is strongly discouraged.
