...o. Any suggestions most welcome (am googling myself before I do anything about it).

Hi! I'm justing in the process of setting up a new fileserver for our company. I'm installing CentOS 5.3 (64 bit) on it. One of the "problems" with it is that it has a 3.5TB filesystem for the user data which I formatted during setup as an ext3. Now my experience with our current fileserver is that a 0.5TB ext3 filesystem needs approx half an hour to complete (and kicks in

Hi! I've got a fileserver currently running under 5.3 with the /home-partition being an XFS-filesystem. I use the kmod-xfs from extras. It works great ;) Now: as I understand it from the release-notes the 5.4 kernel has XFS already built-in. Right? Or is it just a kmod-package ("technology preview") Now my question is: are there any recommendations for an upgrade-procedure? I

Hi! I want to test some software on my CentOS 5 machine that is not too happy with the system python (2.4). So when I install a python to my machines I want it to be a) clean: in other words it should be a RPM b) safe: it should not remove the system-python (in order not to break the system-scripts in subtle ways) but be accessible for instance as python2.6 (while python would still be

This may be a TOTALLY trivial question (and maybe inappropriate for this list), but I don't know where else to ask it: On my Mac I've got this wonderful command line utility that opens documents with the program that is associated to them in the Finder (the graphical file manager) like they were clicked in the file-manager. For instance: if I type open testdocument.doc it opens the file

Either I'm having a case of "now you see it, now you don't" or I'm just plain stupid: When upgrading one of my 4.4-machines I discovered, that XEmacs (my text editor of choice; please no religious discussions) isn't part of the distribution anymore. OK. I progressed without it (and removed the old xemacs-packages because they were not working anymore). Then I installed

Hi! During the last weeks I experienced some performance problems with a large file-system on XFS basis. Sometimes for instance ls is painfully. Immidiatly afterwards ls on the same directory is immidiate. I used strace on this ls and found that during the first ls the lstat-calls need approx 0.02s each while during the second ls the are two orders of magnitude faster. Googling around I stumbled

Hi! I'm having a problem upgrading an existing 4.4 installation to 5.0. - The machine is a x86_64 architecture - I'm upgrading from a DVD - I've used the same DVD to sucessfully upgrade another machine (therefor I'm pretty sure that it is OK) - The error occurs on both DVD-drives on the machine (therefor I think its not a problem with a particular DVD-drive) I'm

I know this is quite a handwaving, stupid question, but I don't know where else to ask it and maybe somebody here can at least point me into the right direction, because I'm stuck. I have a program package that were using here (OpenFOAM for those who know it). My problem is that when I compile and link this package on CentOS 5, it won't run on CentOS 4.x-machines but stops with a

Hi! I know that the nvidia-drv-x11-package is from RPMForge, but I thought I might mention it here. I have a machine with a NVidia-card and because of the ease of use I use the rpmforge-package for that. After upgrading the problem was that during rebooting as soon as the machine hit the RHGB (which implicitly uses that driver) the machine froze. I booted into the old kernel removed rhgb,

Hi! When trying to prepare a workstation with (so that the real "yum upgrade" doesn't have to download the packages) yum upgrade --upgradeonly it fails with these messages: Error: Missing Dependency: libegroupwise-1.2.so.12 is needed by package evolution Error: Missing Dependency: libgtkhtml-3.8.so.15 is needed by package evolution Error: Missing Dependency:

Judging from the frequency of my messages here one could think that I'm too stupid to upgrade a workstation to 5.2 (but the servers I've tried work without problem) OK. The problem: I've tried to upgrade a 5.1-x86_64-workstation to 5.2. During the upgrade immidiatly after (according to the /var/log/messages) upgrading the two (64 & 32-bit) libgcc-packages an EXT3-error occurs and

Hi! Some weeks ago the "Running Xen"-book was recommended to me on this list. A nice book, but it gave me crazy idea: One of the recommendations (which sounds very reasonable to me) was to have instead of a single file that serves as a disk-image to have to files: one of them (which is mounted to hda1) serves as a partition that holds the data, the other one (which mounts to hda2) is

Hi! I have the following problem: I have a server (CentOS 5.3 x86_64) on which I want to install a virtual Xen-machine (CentOS 5.3 x86_64), I ssh from my workstation (Centos 5.3 x86_64 .... do you see the pattern ;) ) to that server and start the virt-manager. I create a new Guest (Paravirtualiuzed) and point it to the server with the installation files (CentOS 5.3, but I already said that). The

I noticed, that the directory /usr/lib/firefox-3.0b5/plugins/ is NOT created on CentOS 5.2. Therefor for instance the flash-plugin is not installed for the new firefox (After manually creating the directory and setting the right symlink it works all right)

Hi! I'm having a problem with compiz on a Centos5-machine (I know compiz is only "Beta", but it looks soooo cool). When I use the gconf-editor to edit settings of the plugins (for instance /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options/initiate_edge) they work as expected, they get written to the correct file in ~/.gconf, but the next time I log in the are reset to the default value

Hi! Is there an easy way to do that? I looked around and the way that is usually advertised is setarch i386 rpmbuild --target=i386 --rebuild .... but for the SRPMs I've tried it always fails at tests in the Spec-File (like %ifnarch x86_64) The RPM I try to build doesn't compile anything (it just wraps a TAR-File), so setting up mock isn't necessary in my opinion. Is there any way

Hi! I've got a CentOS4.7-machine as a fileserver. The machine also serves as the LDAP-server against which all regular users are authenticated. The problem I am having is that the machine takes a very long time to boot. Most of the services start up rather quick, but three services take quite a long time (extending the boot time to over half an hour, which is .... long) The three services

Hi! I'm using CentOS 5.1 (x86_64) machines which authenticate using LDAP. At the start of booting I get messages like this: udevd[1158]: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldaps://ldap.server.example.com/: Can't contact LDAP server udevd[1158]: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server... udevd[1158]: nss_ldap: could not connect to any LDAP server as (null) - Can't contact LDAP
