It looks like karan.org published syslog-ng for RHEL/CentOS 5, though. The switchover is not too painful, configuration files between syslog and rsyslog are pretty close. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Otherwise many LVM2 commands will refuse to run or give warning mes-sages. Try by using "vgdisplay" to get the UUID and use the "UUID" to "vgrename" otherwise start unpluging drive cables to get to the LVM you need to rename.

You can easily switch to rsyslog by doing: yum install rsyslog chkconfig syslog off chkconfig rsyslog on /etc/init.d/syslog stop /etc/init.d/rsyslog start The default rsyslog config should do that same as the default config settings for syslog I believe RHEL6/CentOS6 uses rsyslog by default James Pearson ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

It makes for leaner distributions, but makes rolling back the upgrades more awkward, and tracing back where the error was introduced more awkard. It's just failing completely in my CentOS 5.5 instance, even with the the "epel-5-x86_64.cfg" configuration. The problem seems to have crept in with the most recent releases in epel-testing and the EPEL packages for RHEL 6. I'm also laughing pretty hard that the EPEL versions of mock point to CentOS, not to the yum-rhn-plugin based access to RHEL repositories. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

All the more reason to introduce a 'local' repository where packages can accumulate and gracefully grow old.

[CentOS] Fan speed control on Supermicro X8DAL board with CentOS
Hello folks, I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out why the CPU cooling fans run at full speed on my Supermicro X8DAL-3 motherboard. There doesn't seem to be any variable speed (the fans are PWM compatible) ... they either idle at almost nothing, or suddenly burst into a high-pitched scream that gets my ears bleeding after a few seconds. Once they jump to warp-10, they remain there. The "Super-I/O" chip on this board is a Winbond W83627DHG which does the temperature and voltage monitoring. Is anyone aware of which driver or kernel module I need for that chip in order to get control of the fans? The Supermicro web site and the board's manual aren't any help. Fresh installs of CentOS-5.5 and RHEL-6 don't exert any control by default. Installing the lm_sensors package and probing with the 'sensors' command didn't help either. Slowly going deaf ...
