Re: [CentOS] Current RHEL fragmentation landscape
Fwiw we pay for Google Workspace. I think there is a pricing issue though, but I guess changing it would affect their income from their bigger customers. We just have 5 servers, and don't want any personal support. We'd be fine to pay what we'd consider a reasonable fee I think. I contacted Redhat to ask about their licensing and if we could fit somehow into it (i.e the personal support & 16 machine type license), but they could never give us a straight answer, so the implication was we couldn't be certain we weren't breaking any t&cs. I also thought maybe they'd make an offer or something, but never did. The costs are just too high for some people for what they are offering. The problem now, is what I think people are happy to pay for is trust, which is gone. If we'd have known in advance, we'd have made other choices.

Re: [CentOS] How will fragmentation help Red Hat
Tom nailed it for me, similar boat. We moved to Rocky as a holding position with their LTS, but it just doesn't make sense any more to use a Redhat base with any new server.

It seemed like the token system would accomplish that, but reading the kernel source code, I've discovered that tokens only work with a /64 delegation. My ISP offers a /60, so the token is ignored and I get a random address, instead. Is there some way to use prefix delegation to pick a /64 from the /60 and loop it back onto the same interface to make it use the token? Or is this /64 restriction actually a kernel bug? So right now, you're assigning a /60 address to your LAN interface? If so, you almost certainly shouldn't do that. Instead, you should (as you say) pick a /64 from within the delegated /60 and use that subnet. (The other /64 subnets within the /60 can be used for other VLANs.)

That results in a *mean* bitrate of about 73.5 Mbps.ls If I remove the audio and subtitle streams for languages that I don't care about, I can reduce the file to 54GiB, a mean bitrate of 66.4 Mbps. Don't try playing those on your 10baseT network!

Just watching iftop, I've seen the reported bitrate from the "router" to the TV exceed 75 Mbps when playing the smaller file. Is that the highest it gets? I don't know, because I don't have the patience to watch iftop for almost 2 hours. Thus my original question. I'm looking for something that can tell me the *peak* bitrate to a particular host over the time that the video is playing. Something that could graph it would also be nice; I would expect to see the bitrate plateau at a high level if/when it saturates the TV interface, likely correlated with the pauses that I'm seeing. -- In Soviet Russia, Google searches you! ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Monitoring network traffic to a host
Background - I am having an issue with occassional pauses when streaming high-bitrate media across my home network to my smart TV. I *suspect* that the root cause is the (incredibly lame) 100 Mbps Ethernet interface in the TV. In order to confirm that the peak bitrate really does max out the 100 Mbps connection, I'd like to monitor the communication between my NAS and the TV. The two devices are on separate VLANs, with routing performed by a CentOS 7 system, so it should theoretically be relatively simple to use an appropriate utility on the "router" to monitor and, if possible, graph the network traffic going to the TV. Ideally, I could run said utility for the entire time that the media file is playing and then look at its pretty graph to check if/when the bitrate hit 100 Mbps. Being able to watch the pretty graph in real time through a web interface would be nice as well, but is not required. Is any such program included in CentOS 7 or EPEL 7? The closest thing that I've found thus far is iftop (despite its lack of pretty). Unfortunately, it won't allow me to see the peak bitrate over the whole period in which the media is playing.

[CentOS] Downgrade Mariadb 10.3 on centos 8 ?
We've just got a new server running centos 8 and mariadb 10.3.17, so there's no real data loss issues currently on that server. We've also got some older servers running mysql 5.1.7 which can't be upgraded currently. We can't connect to the old mysql servers using libmysqlclient (to be more precise Perl using DBD::mysql which uses that to my understanding). We get a 'handshake error', and digging about it suggests that it's mysql version incompatibilities. Really we need the new servers connecting to the old and vice versa. So I'm wondering how I get around this. Is downgrading Mariadb on Centos 8 the only (or possible) route here ? If so, any idea how we can go about this (I can't seem to find any information on what version would work either)? Happy to explore any other routes, other than changing the old servers currently.

Yes, systemd-networkd does store its configuration in /etc/systemd/network, but the directory isn't created by the RPM; you need to create it yourself. As noted, systemd-networkd is in the RHEL extras (or somesuch) repo, so it isn't supported by Red Hat on RHEL.

[CentOS] rsyslog and zipping up "rotated" files
I have a rsyslog config that suffixes the date to the filename and holds the log files in a non stabdard log directory based on its srver name (long story). Example - config includes: ... $template mailLog,"/var/log/external/%fromhost%/maillog-%$YEAR%%$MONTH%%$DAY%.log"... # Log all the mail messages in one place.mail.* -?mailLog... so that I get over time .. /var/log/external/server/maillog-20170424.log /var/log/external/server/maillog-20170425.log /var/log/external/server/maillog-20170426.log etc. Over time of course these build up, so i have a cronjob to trim any such logs okder than 30 days. To also save on space I copmpress all the files except todays via a cronjobbed script. so in fact I get ... /var/log/external/server/maillog-20170424.log.gz /var/log/external/server/maillog-20170425.log.gz /var/log/external/server/maillog-20170426.log My questions are therefore... - is there a way for rsyslog to compress these logs once a new log is created at midnight - is theer a way for rsyslog to remove any logs older than 30 days? I am of course aware that logrotate does this also, but for the purposes of m,y enquiry I am only interested in using rsyslog if at all possible. I expect the removing of older, zipped logs via rsyslog isn;t available. But the pssibility of zipping files would be of great interest. cheers Ian ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] enlarging partition and its filesystem
Hi Fred, That would depend on what the underlying device is using. Do you know if you are using LVM or not? Type `lvdisplay` at the console to display any logical volumes. If you are using LVM, you should see one named something like 'VolGroup00_lv-root' If this is the case, something like this should help, but I have listed out the steps below for the TL;DR version: https://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/ExpandLV *pvcreate /dev/xvdb*(xvdb is the Xen version, you may see sdb or some other combination.) *vgextend VolGroup00 /dev/xvdb*(Where VolGroup00 is the Volume Group you found before) *lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/VolGroup00/lv-root* (Or where ever the LVM device is created. lvdisplay will show you this.) Then simply: *resize2fs /dev/VolGroup00/lv-root* to expand the filesystem on the new block device. Hope that helps.

[CentOS] Network hangs after several hours (Centos 6 recently upgraded kernel/glibc)
Hi all, We have a development server we have just tried updating the kernel & glibc after recent recommendations. Its been stable previously for a few years with only scheduled reboots. Its running Centos 6.6(final) 2.6.32-573.18.1.el6.x86_64 GNU libc 2.12 Upgraded via YUM, rebooted, all fine for several hours, and then network seemed to hang. Not much happening as its a dev server we are testing before moving to production. Googling, I see there is some history of e100e driver having issues, and I'm wondering if it could be related. Does anyone have any thoughts on where to do with it, as I'm assuming it will hang again later.

PreReq now has the same effect as Requires. In earlier versions it did what you want and I don't know about CentOS 5 but PreReq is equivalent to Requires in later releases.

The SPEC file doesn't contain any architecture-related tags. I feel like I must be missing something really, really basic, but I'll be darned if I can figure out what it might be. Any ideas? -- ==== Ian Pilcher arequip...@gmail.com "I grew up before Mark Zuckerberg invented friendship" ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

That's a very broad question, so the responses thus far shouldn't be surprising.

RPM has been able to handle symlinks for a long time: $ rpm -ql kdelibs | grep libkunittest.so.4.13.3 /usr/lib64/libkunittest.so.4.13.3 $ rpm -qf /lib64/libkunittest.so.4.13.3 kdelibs-4.13.3-1.fc20.x86_64 I presume that yum is querying RPM for information about installed packages, causing the installed version of glibc to "automagically" provide /usr/sbin/ldconfig.

I still use it on most of my Fedora and EL7 systems. Assuming that you already have GRUB installed, the steps are basically: * Tell anaconda not to install a bootloader * After installation, boot from a different OS or live CD and manually create a GRUB stanza for your new OS * Boot your new OS * Create /etc/sysconfig/kernel * ln -s /boot/grub/grub.conf /etc/ The last two steps enable grubby to update grub.conf when you install a new kernel. -- ======== Ian Pilcher arequip...@gmail.com Sent from the cloud -- where it's already tomorrow ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
