Two problems I hope to solve:
1. The switch being used has autoneg off and has port set to 100 full duplex.
2. Many times NIC fails to come up properly during PXE boot:
r8169: eth0: link down
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
I can't use ethtool to disable autoneg because the nic drive

Allo esteemed Centos-ers,
Noticed something funny with an mdadm mirror based raid the other day.
So I had a system disk set to mirror via mdadm.
One of the disks went south at a remote office and since there was no
one available to swap out the disk, I thought to leave it for later.
Well, due

How do I verify that?
On CentOS 5.7 x86_64 it says its version 2.2.3-53.
is that equivalent to 2.2.21 in RedHat land with the way they do versions?

Aha. I thought I had it set for no file limit, but I guess using different

I would highly advise against trying to time a CTRL-C in a specific amount
of time. Not sure why you would even try and do that when, that's the exact
purpose of the yum-download only which is easier to install and run then
wait for a whole update to complete and try and manually kill the job.

Alan, if your worried about keeping an up to date repository locally and
consistently, then yes cobbler is the way to go. If all you want to do is
an update and save off the RPMS once.. then use the yum download only
plugin.

Do a 'yum install yum-downloadonly', and then you can 'yum -y
--downloadonly update'. Th
Which is why you should use cobbler because it does all that for you.

Oh but keep in mind if you enable keep cache in your repo file it will
still install them, just it will keep a copy as well. Keep that in mind.

You can use the yum download-only plugin, or you can enable a keep cache
variable in your /etc/yum.repos.d/yourfile.repo. Don't remember the syntax
off the top of my head. However a quick google search should turn them both
up.

Hey folks,
Is there any way to fake a "yum update" just to get yum to force a download
of all the files it needs, without actually installing them.

So going back to Amanda and Bacula ... I seem to recall that Amanda uses
standard tools on the back end like gtar and/or dump, is that right?
What does Bacula use? Does it use one of the standard tools? Or does it
have its own proprietary format that it uses?
thanks,
