Re: [CentOS-virt] Useless use of AllowOverride

 I'm going to chime in, hoping that you won't waste everyone's time with your 
 stupidity in the future: What does this *warning* have to do with 
 virtualization?

Ease up there tough guy.  We were all rookies once.  Encouraging people 
like this will help you/us because the world will be smarter.

I suggest your search proceed in the following order.  Usually, 1. will 
be your answer, but rarely 4.
   1. Using a search engine to try to figure it out.
   2. Read the documents (AllowOverride in Apache for sure, ,but 
probably Tomcat in your case too.)
   3. Search the mailing list archives at Apached.
   4. Send an email to the apache mailing list.

 It's 2010. That's not a valid excuse anymore.

 Aww, you're so sweet. Maybe there are some girls on the list you can impress

 focused list, can you tell me why my foot hurts? I mean, I was just using it 
 normally, like a foot. But now it hurts. Could it be cancer? Fungus? Maybe we 
 can turn CentOS into a foot pain site and extend off topic threads instead of 
 just letting them die after short and quick re-educations that anyone 
 subscribing to a mailing list should be aware of by now.

 Maybe if all of you tarts who are in such an uproar about this used your time 
 to contribute anything substantial, or anything at all (Luke, Nenad, John), 
 you would have something. Since all of you are just consumers and none of you 
 actually participate in any way other than to complain that someone was 
 rude, STFU. In the meantime, maybe you should join a Ruby dev list with all 
 of your happiness and smiles. Together, you can change the world!

May I suggest you include a link to this conversation in your web site 
and resume.  Since you have all these skills in dealing with people, you 
certainly should not force your perspective employers or employees to 
use a search engine to find this.

[CentOS-virt] kernel-vm - humble request

2009-04-03 Thread John Thomas
Look, I pay nothing for an incredible operating system with enormous 
features and stability, so it feels a bit awkward asking for more.

[Sarcasm On]
Now, get going and build me up a 5.3 kernel-vm's would ya? ;)

What's best practice on Dom-0, what do you do? Can I restrict the

I use vmware, not XEN, but I think everything is the same, as if you 
have physical machines.


I use shorewall everywhere and find it great.

Re: [CentOS-virt] VMWare - 5.2 Update - Kernel Best Practices

One thing to make sure of if your clock is running fast is to get the

http://blog.autoedification.com/2006/11/vmware-guest-clock-runs-fast.html
I suspect (please clarify if I am wrong) you mean the /etc/vmware/config 
file, not the vmx file.  The blog article suggests /etc/vmware/config.


Note:  if you do not have the command cpufreq-info you can get it by 
installing cpufreq-utils with this command:

yum install cpufreq-utils
After installing cpufreq-utils, cpufreq-info produced, no or unknown 
cpufreq driver is active on this CPU.  I, through the notes in the 
above blog article, found /proc/cpuinfo had this:

processor   : 0
vendor_id   : GenuineIntel
cpu family  : 15
model   : 4
model name  : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
stepping: 1
cpu MHz : 2995.211
cache size  : 1024 KB
fdiv_bug: no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug: no
coma_bug: no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid level : 5
wp  : yes

cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe 
constant_tsc up pni monitor ds_cpl cid xtpr

bogomips: 5992.20


Then set the value based on the above article, then time might not run 
as fast.

I am not sure if I should use:
host.cpukHz = 300
or
host.cpukHz = 2995211

I have tried both.  Neither seems to work.  My current solution, is to 
run a script once per hour that pauses for two seconds, then sets the 
clock back one second.  The vmware time sync brings the guest clock 
current if it gets behind from the script.


Are you able to think deep enough to figure out if I should set the 
host.cpukHz above or below the above range to see if that would slow 
down the guest clock?  I wonder if I should even try that.



Thanks,
Johnny Hughes

Thank you Johnny.  I very much appreciate your time.

[CentOS-virt] VMWare - 5.2 Update - Kernel Best Practices

2008-06-26 Thread John Thomas

Thanks for all the great stuff.

Executive Summary:  Kernel Parameters or Special Kernel for 5.2 on VMWare?

More Details:
Is it the best practice to use the specially compiled kernels (when 
available, typically here: 
http://people.centos.org/~tru/kernel-vm/5/RPMS/i386/ ) or are kernel 
parameters now able to achieve the same thing?


This bug report: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2189 seems to 
suggest clocksource=pit and divider=10 will crash kernels and I did not 
see it's fixed in the release notes.


Thanks again!

Is there any detail on when you would actually need to use the
clocksource= option?  I'd love to not have to deal with the kernel-vm
packages since there doesn't appear to be a repo for them yet and if you
have other requirements like kmod-drbd you have to manually rebuild
those.


I use clocksource=pit because my VM clocks ran WAY fast without it. 
They still run a bit fast (1 second per 6 hours type of thing).  If you 
do not use a clocksource option, how are your clocks?

[CentOS-virt] VMWare Server -- Which Kernel is Best

2008-02-09 Thread John Thomas

I read http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2189
Summary: CentOS is not getting optimal performance in a virtualized 
environment and on slow cpus
but I am not sure I understand the current best practice.  Your thoughts 
would be appreciated.


Options as I see them:
1. Run kernel-vm-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 with clocksource=pit until the 
excellent CentOS team builds the latest kernel into a VM kernel (This is 
working for me now).
2. Run kernel-2.6.18-53.1.6.el5 with divider=10 and hope the clock does 
not go fast (I have not tried this).
