Zero problems here after upgrading a bunch of servers. I guess the majority of users without problems is just not as loud. :-) Thank you CentOS team for the good work! regards, Andreas Micklei -- !!!

It looks and feels a lot like XMMS or WinAmp, very different from Totem, Rhythmbox or Amarok. It uses modern libs and is actively maintained. It is the perfect XMMS drop-in replacement. It's in Fedora, and I think RPMs for CentOS/RHEL are in DAG. regards, Andreas Micklei -- Andreas Micklei IVISTAR Kommunikationssysteme AG Ehrenbergstr. 19 / 10245 Berlin, Germany http://www.ivistar.de Handelsregister: Berlin Charlottenburg HRB 75173 Umsatzsteuer-ID: DE207795030 Vorstand: Dr.-Ing.

Re: [CentOS] NFS filesystem recommendations please (and problems with XFS)

Just to add some positive feedback: I implemented XFS on an x86_64 box running CentOS around here. The machine is an NFS, Samba and Emailserver (kolab, that means postfix + cyrus imapd). The machine has a Hardware SCSI RAID with 8 10k U320 HDs. So far we had a minor issue with some small undeletable files that could be tracked down to a XFS bug (which is fixed by now). Other than that the box has been running rock stable. We started with CentOS 4.2 or 4.3 and are now at 4.5 via continuous yum updates. Before the machine went into production I had about two weaks for doing heavy benchmarking and some reinstalls. Using XFS and tuning the parameters of the RAID array gave a massive performance boost. I also tried tuning ext3 but got only about half the throughput than with XFS, so I decided to go XFS. Of course these results depend on usage pattern, hardware, etc. So do your own benchmarks. I myself asked our heavies nfs users for their homedirs or parts of it and benchmarked by copying these around in parrallel. This was quite enlightening and much more useful than artifical benchmarks. regards, Andreas Micklei -- Andreas Micklei IVISTAR Kommunikationssysteme AG Ehrenbergstr. 19 / 10245 Berlin, Germany http://www.ivistar.de Handelsregister: Berlin Charlottenburg HRB 75173 Umsatzsteuer-ID: DE207795030 Vorstand: Dr.-Ing.

For the sake of completeness: There is of course also a kmod-xfs for the centosplus kernel, in case you are running one. Obviously it's the one with the "plus" in it's name. Works absolutely well, just as the module for the standard kernel. regards, Andreas Micklei -- Andreas Micklei IVISTAR Kommunikationssysteme AG Ehrenbergstr. 19 / 10245 Berlin, Germany http://www.ivistar.de Handelsregister: Berlin Charlottenburg HRB 75173 Umsatzsteuer-ID: DE207795030 Vorstand: Dr.-Ing.
