Re: [CentOS-virt] Xen version
Hi Paul, I use Xen 3.4.2 in production on Centos with Windows 2003 server virtual machines using those GPL PV drivers. I put it into production in March this year I think. The only stability problems I’ve had has been because my Xen servers are using an NFS root from an at times overloaded NFS server. Thanks, Evan.

The drivers we are using are from here (http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenWindowsGplPv). The solution we found is upgrading to xen 3.4.2, using a strange repository (gitco.dehttp://gitco.de), and everything seems to work. Now the question is: would you recomand using the 3.0.3 kernel provided by CentOS in production and searching for other paravirtualization drivers, or go with 3.4.2?

With hardware RAID, the performance hit will be even less. 2) Dont create RAID for swap and / root partition (Not Advisable) Why not? This defeats the purpose of the RAID. You need to mirror all filesystems to prevent data loss in the event of a hard drive crash. You need to mirror swap so that the system can continue running if one hard drive goes. 3) Swap Size size should be 2X the size of the Physical memory Not anymore. These days, I would not allocate more than 16GB for swap. You shouldn't really need any swap. Memory is cheap enough now that if your system is using swap, you should add more memory.

Re: [CentOS] RAID help
Philix T A [philixli...@gmail.com] wrote 2) Dont create RAID for swap and / root partition (Not Advisable) I would avoid putting / or /swap on RAID0 partitions, but RAID1 should not only not be a problem, it should be encouraged as a method of recuperating from a spindle failure. 3) Swap Size size should be 2X the size of the Physical memory That was the other millennium, when it was certain that our programs used more Core/RAM than you had in your box. This is now, when you need swap only when you can't schedule your process load to not over-demand RAM, and you can't put more RAM in your box. In that kind of case, a larger box is more cost-effective than swap. I make certain swap is never used. Man 1 vmstat, look at the 'si' and 'so' fields, they should stay zero. 4) Always partition which uses high read/write to the disk eg /var/log /var/www/html and /home etc I'm not certain I understood what you said. My advice on partitioning is to group read-only (e.g. most of / /usr) on partitions mounted -o ro, and writable portions (e.g. most of var) on a separate partition so the amount of fsck recovery is minimized. The OP asked about making a single partition for everything, this is (approximately) what a Red Hat default install will do. Making a RAID1 of everything is not a bad idea, it's called a backup ;) 6) My experience had always shown if your apps had memory leak , expect Swapping to happen for sure, where reboot of the apps or the system is needed Buggy software (memory leaks included) should simply be avoided. Where they can't be avoided, a crontab entry to kill restart every hour (or so). I'm not sure what the OP is asking. It is my advice to post ONLY in plain text, not rich-text or html, to a mailing list. If it is impossible to post plain-text, some won't see your post and some who have a response won't send one since top-posting is the best way to reply to html posts, and top-posting is an abomination to many. *** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Or you can just use t to change the filesystem type. Your disk has a gpt partition on it. Was it previously installed on an Apple Mac computer? You can of coarse use GPT partitions on any computer, but because of the immaturity of the gpt partitioning utilities, they can be more troublesome (though supposedly everyone is moving toward gpt because of support for larger disks). (I wonder if Dells Perc controllers use GPT partitions? - I don't know...) parted tries to be more intelligent by reading the content on the disk and determining what kind of filesystem is on partition. If you really know what your doing and don't have other existing data on the disk, you could zero out the old partition table and/or the content of existing old partitions and you'll probably have fewer partitioning problems. (You can't use fdisk with GPT partitions). To zero out just the GPT partition table and first several sectors of the disk, use something like dd if=/dev/zero bs=512 count=8 of /dev/dev/sdX You can also zero out single partitions on the disk, or the beginnings of partitions. Otherwise leave out the count and zero the whole disk or whole partition. Nataraj ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] two cents or not two cents
Hello Producers Longevity of Support is an attractive drawcard for CentOS if it means the exact opposite of Fedora's short support cycle that does not provide updating of infrastructural libraries for very long, libraries which newer versions of applications (like Firefox, Thunderbird, Opera etc) depend on and which wont install unless the libraries are also newer versions? But is that what it means -- ie that those infrastructural libraries (libpango, libcairo etc) are continuously updateable to fairly recent versions? If so, the problem is in reconciling that meaning with the reputation of CentOS to only support older versions of applications (eg Firefox-1.5, Thunderbird-1.0 etc). It does reconcile, of course, if the implications are merely that the CentOS user must compile and install the later versions of such applications from source, rather than having the luxury of pre-packaged binaries. It doesn't reconcile if there is some other critical reason why newer such applications just wont install. But which? I ask here because the profusion of vague mission statements and 'target-enduser-profile' claims that litter the internet re '*nix distros' seldom actually address those real issues. And hopefully someone can enlighten. My complex production developement desktop takes months to fully port to a new OS (or OS-version), so OS updates to get library updates (ala Fedora philosophy) becomes increasingly untenable. Then there is a further question, I'm afraid. Since CentOS also does specifically target the profile of a so-called 'enterprise/server-user' what does that actually entail. Does it mean concrete security strictures which bolt down non-'root' users or does it merely mean the availability of SELinux (but which can be turned OFF)? For instance, (with SELinux OFF), can a user still: (a) su root via Kterm anytime? (b) Access services-admin anytime via Menu+Pam to control printers, modems, daemons etc? (c) compile (d) have 6 to 8 desktops running (e) call up 'konquerorsu.desktop' (root-konqueror with embedded root-Kterm) (f) have normal cron scheduling .. maybe more, but that's a start.

You might be interested in giving my ALI scripts a whirl on a spare machine (even an old laptop) to start with, so you get used to how they work. I wrote these especially to deal with doing a fresh linux installation. http://www.karsites.net/centos/anyuser/auto-linux-installer.php I can set up the services I want running in under 10 seconds. Beats sitting there doing it manually for 3 days! The general idea is that you modify the installer scripts to work with a particular system - just do it one time. Then you can replay the scripts as often as you want, to re-install your system. Please let the list know if they help with your installation/update woes. BTW. Some applications such as Firefox need to be updated to their latest versions, otherwise websites will not work with an older version. I had these issues with running an old version of FF on Fedora 8. I went from F8 to F12 using my ALI scripts without any problems.
