[CentOS] Recent CentOS4 kernel update
I see an update for the CentOS4 kernel, to 2.6.9-78.0.5.EL, has appeared over the weekend. I've not seen anything on the announce list for it though. Have I missed something? James ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Will this be as part of the centosplus repository, or elsewhere? It will definitely be a part of the centosplus repo ( to ensure we get some upgrade path sanity from centos-4 ), however it might also be available as a separate repo itself. If you have centosplus enabled, you will see it for sure! What's the status of this now? I don't see it in the centosplus repo yet.

Re: [CentOS] 5.1 did not detect marvell e-net controller

You can try ethtool eth0 and try to force gig connectivity. Or like you said jumbo frames, but does your switching hardware support that? Yes, I have a gig-e switch :) I think there may be an interoperability problem with the card and switch I'm using -- even at 100Mb it isn't entirely reliable whereas other devices are. In a 100Mb switch it works fine. Next step is to put e100 and e1000 cards in and test those on the gig-e switch. I'll also try dropping back to the release on the Asus site, though it does look like it's just an earlier release of the same driver as the Marvell one, rather than a different codebase altogether.

I run basically the same mother board on my home PC and it does work. (the driver) GUI - System | Administration | Network | Hardware Tab | New. yeahtried that till blue in the face. The device is just not being seen for some reason. I was able go boot fedora 8, do a chroot to centos and bring up the network, but it didn't stick. (chroot worked nice to do a yum update, tho). Will try a reinstall from scratch. Thanks for the suggestion. BTW ASUS.com has a linux Driver for that board. They have one for mine. Mine is a P4P800-E.. There's a more recent driver available than the one on the Asus site. Google found it for me. Unfortunately I can't recall were I downloaded it from now. Unfortunately whilst it appears to work ok at 100Mb/s, I get a huge number of framing errors at 1000Mb/s. I've not tried enabling jumbo frames yet though.

I've not tried enabling jumbo frames yet though. Th ASUS driver won't compile for me...just says compile error, look in the log. The log says compile error. It wouldn't compile for me first time, either, because it wasn't looking in the right place for the kernel files. After installing kernel-devel and kernel-headers for the current kernel, I did something like: # ln -s kernels/`uname -r`-`uname -p` /usr/src/linux and that fixed it for me. I was using the latest drivers I could find, from here: http://www.marvell.com/drivers/driverDisplay.do?dId=153pId=38 James ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] CentOS 5.1 and Xen HVM guest networking problem
I've asked this on the Xen users list, but had no response so far: I'm running CentOS 5.1 with all current updates: xen-libs-3.0.3-41.el5 xen-3.0.3-41.el5 kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 and have a domU config file from another (5.0) server which works. The difference is that on the new machine I want to use routed rather than bridged networking. In bridging mode the domU works fine, but I can't use bridging on this particular server because of the external network configuration. I have modified /etc/xen/config.sxp, commenting out (network-script network-bridge) (vif-script vif-bridge) and uncommenting (network-script network-route) (vif-script vif-route) I've also changed the vif line in the domU config file to: vif = [ 'ip=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd, vifname=veth1' ] The domU now boots, but has no eth0 interface (the driver doesn't load in the domU because it can't find a suitable device). Is there anything obvious I might have done wrong or missed out? There are no ethernet-related or network device errors in the logs that I can see.

AIUI, MD isn't cluster-{aware,safe} though, so I could end up with all
the servers that can see the physical disks trying to do stuff with the
mirrors individually, making a horrible mess?
(In my configuration, all servers mount the iSCSI devices and I'm using
LVM/clvmd to allow them to keep everything sane and remove any single
point of failure.)
where sd[bc] are the mirrored (iSCSI) PVs in the VG and sdd is the log.
I have this working and can write data to the filesystem on one machine
in the cluster and see it appear elsewhere etc.
What I now want to do is to test what happens when I disable one
of the mirrors and then restore it with clean disks.

Perfect. That's exactly what I was after. Thank you.

Re: [CentOS] network raid file system/server
Feizhou wrote: In this scenario, iscsi provides the devices remotely and the server handles the raiding of the devices. can you explain it a bit more detailed? The boxes with disks are now just 'disk servers' and those disks are exported to the servers that will provide the filesystem layer. iscsi is the technology used to export the disks in this scenario. Is there a neat way to get start the partitions and get them mounted in this setup? I have a server on which I want to create /dev/md0 from two iscsi partitions. I then want to export /md0 to other servers using GFS. Do I have to hand-craft my own scripts to start the md devices at boot time and get the filesystems mounted before starting GFS, or is there already a way to do that? (I don't have a problem with doing so, but if there's already a right way to do it...) James ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
