Re: [CentOS] Asymmetric encryption for very large tar file
From: Kai Schaetzl mailli...@conactive.com I would rather work on single files or tars on directory basis. Using a single big file creates a very large single point of failure. Or use an encrypted file system (of course, also a single point of failure, but probably better handling). Afio is supposed to have better error handling than tar, and other nice options like pgp.

Re: [CentOS] need guidance on getting started...again
From: Darr247 darr...@gmail.com And logging in as root for everyday tasks is generally discouraged, as well. Most admins will edit their /etc/sudoers file to give themselves sudo access, so they could run [username@machinename ~]$ sudo yum install man-1.6f* man-pages-3.22-* (which will then prompt for the user's password, not the root password) instead of logging in as root. I must be a bad admin because I rarely use sudo (only to limit some access to some commands to some users). That would make me prepand 99% of my daily commands with sudo. After a while, that gets annoying... IMHO, this rule is good for users/workstations, not admins/servers. And even on my workstation I have a dedicated root window where I do root stuff.

Re: [CentOS] Newer version of FfMpeg
From: Lists li...@benjamindsmith.com We're trying to build a rich media website, and will need to re-encode the video content with ffmpeg. Unfortunately, the ffmpeg version that comes with the most common repos are rather out of date. As in 0.6.5 vs 2.21 being the most current version. However, ffmpeg looks to be a pretty thorny thing to compile with all the options we need. It appears that the FFMPEG with rpmfusion for Fedora is pretty current, 2.1.4. Is there a repo out there that anybody knows of that has a relatively current version of ffmpeg out for Centos 6? The thing is, as soon as you will get an issue, the devs will tell you to compile the latest version. Also, if you plan on using external codecs (like vpx, h265...), you will need the matching (not too old) libs when you compile ffmpeg.

However, in order to build some of our current 32-bit applications, I had to install some i686 packages, including glib. Now when I try to do a yum update on this test system, I get the dreaded Error: Multilib version problems found. issue. I have tried following the instructions from yum (--exclude=glib.i686, yum check, etc.) to resolve this to no avail. What is the best way to proceed with the yum update so that all (64-bit and 32-bit) packages are updated? Maybe try 'protected_multilib' in yum.conf (see man).

Re: [CentOS] Raid on centos
From: Jeff Allison jeff.alli...@allygray.2y.net Ok I've a HP mircoserver that I'm building up.

Just a reminder that (at least in the Gen8) bays 1+2 are 6G, but bays 3+4 are 3G. So you might lose a tiny bit of speed if you pair them in a RAID5. For the migration, to make it clean and simple, I would just copy the data temporarily on USB external disks; which I would use anyway for backups.

Re: [CentOS] SOHO colour laser printer recommendations
From: Ned Slider n...@unixmail.co.uk I'd really appreciate some recommendations for colour laser printers for use with CentOS. It's for light home use with CentOS 5 and CentOS 6 systems. Must have: 1. Colour. Quality not that important as mainly for kids school project type of stuff. 2. Ethernet connectivity - want something I can plug into the network 3. Cheap running costs - don't want to be spending a fortune on toner 4. Linux support We bought an Epson c2800n for 200€ (after a 100€ discount) in 2008 and it is still working like a charm... But I have no idea how the new models fare. The only downside for an home user is the huge size of the thing.

Re: [CentOS] ZFS on Linux testing effort
From: Lists li...@benjamindsmith.com Our next big test is to try out ZFS filesystem send/receive in lieu of our current backup processes based on rsync. Rsync is a fabulous tool, but is beginning to show performance/scalability issues dealing with the many millions of files being backed up, and we're hoping that ZFS filesystem replication solves this. Not sure if I already mentioned it but maybe have a look at: http://code.google.com/p/lsyncd/ JD ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] driver disk in kickstart...
Hi, I need to add a driver in my usb install key kickstart to handle some crap hp fake raid. The thing is the driverdisk option offers partition or some network options. I would like to put everything on the key, so no network. Does partition mean it is restricted to the / of it? Does it mean that either I have to extract the .img file in the / of my usb key (a bit messy), or that I need to create another partition just for it?

Re: [CentOS] Machine check events

Re: [CentOS] Any experience with lanner appliances?

Re: [CentOS] Crash and automatical reboot when using the NVIDIA card
From: David McGiven davidmcgiv...@gmail.com I'm running a Supermicro server with the latest CentOS 6.4 versions (kernel : 2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.x86_64) and the latest nvidia driver (331.20). A few minutes after using the GPU for doing some HPC calculations, the server crashes and reboots itself. This is happening every time. I know it will be rebooted but I don't know when. Sometimes it's 20 minutes after starting using it. Sometimes it's 2 hours. If I unplug the GPU card and put some stress on the server, it works ok. So I suspect there's a bug in the kernel/nvidia driver. I can't find any messages on /var/log/messages. Did you check the IPMI logs? First thing that comes to my mind would be overheating. Maybe dump the temperatures every minute to a log file and after next reboot, check if there is a pic... Or maybe a freeze + the watchdog kicking in?

Re: [CentOS] First Time Setting up RAID
From: James B. Byrne byrn...@harte-lyne.ca We have a cold server with 32Gb RAM and 8 x 3TB SATA drives mounted in hotswap cells. The intended purpose of this system is as an ERP application and DBMS host. The ERP application will likely eventually have web access but at the moment only dedicated client applications can connect to it. I am researching how to best set this system up for use as a production host employing RAID. I have read the (minimal) documentation respecting RAID on the RedHat site and have found and read a few online guides. Naturally, in my ignorance I have a bunch of questions to ask and I probably have a bunch more that I should but do not know enough yet to ask. From what I have read it appears that the system disk must use RAID 1 if it uses RAID at all. Is this the case? If so, is there any benefit to be had by taking two of the 8 drives (6Tb) solely to hold the OS and boot partition? Should these two drives be pulled and replaced with two smaller ones or should we bother with RAID for the boot disk at all? Given that one or two drive bays will be given over to the OS what should be the configuration of the remaining six? It appears from what I have read that RAID 5 is the only viable option. It also appears that the amount of storage available on a RAID5 array with N members is N-1/N. I also read that as the number of members increase both latency and the risk of data loss increases. As the amount of disk space we have in this unit (24Tb) is greater than the total storage of all our existing hosts it appears that a RAID5 array of 5 units would leave at least one hot spare in the chassis and two if the OS is put on one disk. Alternatively, the thought comes to mind that we could do a RAID1 with two RAID5 arrays each of which have 3 drives. Whether one would actually want to do that seems to me a bit questionable but it seems to be at least possible. For some storage servers, we put used the following cards with 2 small drives for the system: http://www.sybausa.com/productInfo.php?iid=1134 But do you really need 10+ TB for your ERP+DBM? I'd just go with a RAID10 for DBs... JD ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] NFS hard mount
From: Rita rmorgan...@gmail.com My problem is we have many NFS servers and clients. The client mounts to the servers using /net/serverA/dirA. When server A is decommissioned all the clients hand on `df`. I was wondering if there is a clean way to unmount the server instead of rebooting clients (100+ clients). I am try doing a lazy unmount but that doesn't seem to fix the problem. Why not ifup the decommissioned IP on another server/pc just long enough for the clients to umount?

Re: [CentOS] Provide access to /home folder
From: Gopu Krishnan gopukrishnan...@gmail.com When I set the setfacl, wordpress sites are giving 500 internal server error. I am planning to set a user 'developer' with the home directory as '/home' Inside the /home directory, each site is having its own ownership. For example, /home/site1 should have ownership user1:user1 and /home/site2 should have user2:user2 and so on. If I create a user 'developer' with home directory as /home, would he be able to access and modify the site files inside /home/site1 and /home/site2 which is having different ownership. Its not practical to add the user 'developer' to all the groups user1,user2 etc. Any thoughts on this ? If you do not care too much about security, you could try to SGID the users' directories...

Re: [CentOS] Provide access to /home folder
From: Gopu Krishnan gopukrishnan...@gmail.com I have a CentOS linux web server in which I have multiple web sites. I have many website programmers now doing the coding for all the sites. How can I provide a key-based authentication for the programmers in such a way that they have access only to /home folder ? They should be able to access only all the files inside /home and able to modify it. This is cPanel server in which all the sites comes under /home directory. Currently they are using separate passwords for every site. If I could give access to my developer inside /home folder, they would be able to do edit all the sites easily rather than having separate password for each site (eg : /home/site1 or /home/site2). Please share your ideas on the same. I do not know cPanel but what about all of them being part of the same group...? Then, give the correct permissions to the group.
