I've been very happy with http://www.bluehost.com They offer ssh, rsync, SSL, and seem to have a compiler installed. Very responsive service. I've been using them for 15 months without a single complaint of problem. I have no affiliation with this company - just a client. > Would like them to include http/https and email. Not sure about https - but I think so. Email support includes IMAP, POP and web via squirrel mail. -Mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

It's much better (and easier for you to accomplish your stated goal) by setting up a single (and a backup, *maybe* - there's a couple more tricks needed for that if using LVM) boot partition that loads and handles the differences you need to support. Make your boot partition(s) larger, if needed, to support multiple versions of kernels, initrd, config.* and system maps. The using the "default" command of grub you can point to a boot configuration that will load different kernels, pass different initrds, mount different roots and even load different OSs (see the "chain" descriptions in "info grub"). Thanks for the info - very detailed. I'm trying to find a one-size-fits-all method that is grub based. We have many different configurations here so I want something that can work with any of them. So far, the best thing I've seen is sfdisk -l which will show me bootable partitions. In a pinch, I could mount all the bootably parts and scriptify the altering of grub.conf -Mark -- Mark Belanger LTX Corporation ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] rpm dependency question
I have an rpm I've created that has a dependency on a library provided by a third party. This dependency is not specified anywhere in my spec file yet the package seems to know about when I run: # rpm -qip --requires MyPackage.rpm The third party rpm is installed and uninstalled via a vendor-supplied script so that they can prompt you to accept licenses and so on. Problem is, the vendor supplied un-install script fails to un-install because of the dependency MyPackage has on one of it's libraries. Is there a way to build my package so that it has no knowledge of external dependencies? My other option is to alter the vendor supplied uninstall script so that it does rpm -e --nodeps. I'd very much prefer to not mess with the vendor supplied scripts. I guess as a related question, how does my rpm know about external dependencies? Is rpmbuild doing some analysis of it's content via ldd or something? -Mark -- Mark Belanger LTX Corporation ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I was wondering if we need to tune anything special with the Network and NFS. Does anyone have any experience with this? my general experience is that Linux has a rather poor implementation of NFS server. Solaris works much better as a NFS server. I wouldn't completely disagree with that but we have a number of linux NFS servers running that are working really well - once we tweaked the mount options.

[CentOS] sys-unconfig
Does sys-unconfig work as advertised in 4.x? Meaning that if I have a fully configured box on my internal net and run sys-unconfig, will I be able to power up the node on a totally different network and have things work providing I answer the questions properly. Most typically this will mean taking a box that is using NIS in DNS domain A, NIS domain B, and static IP addr and move it to DNS domain C, NIS domain D, and dynamic IP. I can't remember the details now, but something didn't work right in 3.x -Mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

All exhibit the same problem and all work fine when our builds are run on CentOS3.x or Solaris I have also regularly seen this issue and agree that it appears to be client-side. It has occurred for every version of Linux NFS server that I have used, from RH 5.0 up to CentOS 5.1. I also do not see it for any non-Linux client (Tru64, OS X, Solaris). I also have not seen it for CentOS 3/4/5 64-bit clients, but I do see it for CentOS 3 32-bit clients. I have no problems on 3.x - and we use NFS on a massive scale. We did have to set some mount options to get solid performance. By comparing /proc/mounts I saw that my CentOS 4.5 machine was using tcp and proto=tcp in it's mount options - whereas the CentOS 3.5 machines are using udp,proto=udp. I have made that change and it "seems" to have solved the problem. I'll report back later if this continues. In the meantime, I welcome any thoughts on Linux NFS and offer my current mount options for CentOS 3.5: -rw,bg,nosuid,timeo=50,retry=1 the output of /proc/mounts for a typical nfs volume is: rw,v3,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,hard,udp,lock On CentOS 4 - this seems to work: -rw,bg,nosuid,timeo=50,retry=1,udp,proto=udp the output of /proc/mounts for a typical nfs volume is: nfs rw,nosuid,v3,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,hard,udp,lock,proto=udp,timeo=50,retrans=5 -Mark -- Mark Belanger LTX Corporation ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] NFS problems with CentOS 4.5
Our large and complex build system is having very sporadic failurs as we try to update to CentOS 4.5. This takes the form of files that exist - and have existed for some time - not being found: file.whatever: No such file: No such file or directory This happens both with source files, .o's - meaning that the errors come from both the compiler and linker. The build storage is on NFS and the errors don't happen when we target local disk. We also have solaris nad Centos 3.x building the same code base in a similar fashion with no problem. We are currently using mount options of: rw,nosuid,bg,timeo=50,retry=1 And have also tried: rw,intr,bg,proto=tcp,nfsvers=3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 without success.
