[CentOS] Excessive NFS operations

Reading the "waiting IOs" thread made me remember I have a similar problem that has been here for months, and I have no sulution yet. A single CentOS 5.2 x86_64 machine here is overloading our NetApp filer with excessive NFS getattr, lookup and access operations. The weird thing is that the

[CentOS] quota command broken

We noticed a big change in the workings of the quota command when moving from RHEL3 to CentOS5. Under RHEL3 (quota-3.10-7), quota -v essentially lists the fs quotas for all users logged into the local machine. Under CentOS5 (quota-3.13-1.2.5.el5), only one user quota is displayed, and while

[CentOS] anaconda and x86_64

[CentOS] Update notification

CentOS 5.3 New updates available used to be flagged in the (Gnome) desktop notification area, but I don't get them any longer. What could be the problem? yum-updatesd is set up with the default configuration (dbus), and on the machines I changed the notification to email, I do indeed receiv
