Re: [CentOS] Experiencing continual eth0 link up/down on a 10G Chelsio NIC (cxgb3 driver)

Hi Jobst, Brent, and Hakan, Thanks for your inputs. I sincerely appreciate your suggestions and sharing your experience. I have posted a support query with Chelsio as well. In my case the connection is a Fiber cable. On the switch side there is only one 10GB port so there is not much I can do.

[CentOS] xentop batch mode

Hi guys, First of all, sorry to send this one here on the centos ml. I know it's kind of off-topic, but the xen-users list seems a dead end, I was hoping some of you guys are experienced in this. I have a problem with a xen 3.4.2 on Centos 5 x86_64 installation, I need to see the total/used/ava

IMHO link failures are never a LOCAL problem ONLY but BOTH sides, and one of the people answering this question has already explained the stuff with the (auto) negotiation. Before that check: * other side * if the other is a switch, use different port * cable (make sure connectors sit properl

One of the security features of sendmail is the REVERSE lookup. If sendmail cant reverse lookup and the entries dont match, no mail. You didnt specify whether devcentos5x64.msgnet.com is an internal host and there is some other mailserver higher up the stream. If so, use: define(`SMART_HOST',

I am using autofs to mount user's home and group directories. The setup works fine for home directories which are mounted after user logs in. The group shares are also mounted, but user has to manually do cd or ls command on group shares, e.g.: ls /groups/chemistry will mount chemistry group share
