I'm sure there are people running server 1.0.3 on centos 5, what I'd like to know is, if you are using it then; are you using a 64bit centos 5 host ? are you using core-2 duo cpu ? and if so, are you suffering from any guest clock/time issues ? I've read the vmware timekeeping pdf and tried all of their 'workarounds' and none seem to work. I'm suffering these issues

Hello, On the Intel Core 2 Duo processor based systems, we have the option of installing either x86_64 or the i386 distribution. I would like to know your experiences with the x86_64 port. How does it compare with the i386 distribution in terms of stability, reliability and performance ? How significant are the performance benefits gained by using the x86_64 linux instead of i386 on the same

I want to set up a multiple "mode" computer with four separate Centos installations on it. The objective here is to have a "spare computer" that I can boot up into any of four "modes" depending on what I'm swapping it in for a the moment. For example, I want to be able to boot it up as a webserver, or as a fileserver, or as a LTSP-enabled application server.

I currently have 2 x ESXi boxes that have VMs stored on a NFS/iSCSI debian lenny linux box. I had purchased a new whitebox server as an intended replacement for the linux box. I had always planned on installing opensolaris on the new hardware with this config; 2 x 640GB mirrored rpool 6 x 1TB in raidz2 This box was going to be built in parallel with the current server and I would have simply

Hello everyone. I'm wondering what other people's experiences are WRT systems becoming unresponsive (unable to ssh in, etc) for brief periods of time when a large amount of IO is being performed. It's really starting to cause a problem for us. We're on Dell PowerEdge 1955 blades - but this same issue has caused us problems on PE1950, PE1850, PE1750 servers. We're running

Hello all, About a year ago I set up a mail server on CentOS using this howto: http://wanderingbarque.com/howtos/mailserver/mailserver.html I managed to add amavisd-new with clamav and spamassassin. It runs very well, but it runs on CentOS 5.2, and if I try to upgrade, amavisd-new and clamav break. we are now also at the point where a backup mx will need to be implemented. If necessary I am

Had to do a second install on the remote computer (I probably did something wrong the first time) but everything that I needed to work, does work. I even have sound to my local computer from the remote computer via a windows application running with

Has anyone else seen this on Centos 6.x x64? Running vSphere 5.0 and I install tools from the VMware tar.gz file with ' vmware-install-tools.pl -d' it seems to do all the usual/right things. Once completed there is no 'vmware-tools' listed in 'chkconfig --list'. A reboot of the box leaves vmware tools not running. I have tried completely uninstalling tools and

Guys, I've just setup 5.0 and can reproduce a crash/reboot every time. Details; x86_64 Install Using Xen Kernel System fully updated including Xen Kernel (latest 1.1 update) Intel Dual Core E6400 4gb RAM I've installed vmware server 1.0.2 from rpm. It has been configured and is ready to create new machines. I have successfully created a new machine but when I attempt to power-on the

I have a nice new 965 chipset mobo with core 2 duo cpu. I was wondering if anyone has any experiences with this chipset and CPU with 4.4 ? Does the jmicron sata/pata interface work ? Are both cores recongnized with the right kernel ? Does EIST work ? Or should I wait for Centos 5 ? Cheers, Brian.

Just received a fedora email with the following announcement. Seems interesting; =================================== If you use enterprise-class Linux (EL) distributions derived from Fedora, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS, we have something very exciting for you. Ever find yourself rebuilding one of the high-quality Fedora packages for your EL version because it didn't ship

Have a quad core workstation that was running WinXP_64 that I want to blow away and install CentOS 6. C6 install process finds raid metadata associated with sda and sdb, and then excludes them from the rest of the installation process. There doesn't appear to be an option for disassembling the raid as part of the install process. I think there should be. Any tricks to removing/by-passing

Hello, we have a mixed environment at work: CentOS + Win2003 servers. The Win2k3 part contains: AD, DNS (inlc. dyndns), DHCP, DFS, Exchange. The CentOS part: NIS passwords + also a DNS server. So currently we have to update the Linux DNS server zone infos by hand: I export a text file from Windows DNS server and then edit it around using vim. On the Windows side however it's easy for me to

Is there such a filesystem available? It seems like it wouldn't be too hard to implement... Basically do things on a block by block basis. Store md5 of a block in the table, and when writing a new block, check if the md5 already exists and then point the new block to the old block. Since md5 is not guaranteed unique, might need to do a diff between the 2 blocks and if the blocks are indeed

Hi all, I have a home server based on SNV_127 with 8 disks; 2 x 500GB mirrored root pool 6 x 1TB raidz2 data pool This server performs a few functions; NFS : for several ''lab'' ESX virtual machines NFS : mythtv storage (videos, music, recordings etc) Samba : for home directories for all networked PCs I backup the important data to external USB hdd each day. I previously had

Hello all, I thought I'd ask you guys about this one since I've had no luck from vmware forums/kb or google ... I have a centos 4.3 x86-64 (athlon64 with cool-n quiet enabled) with vmware server 1.0 installed and working beautifully with the annoying exception of my guest machines clocks (centos, ubuntu etc) run very fast. I've read the vmware white paper on guest clocks, tried

I have AT&T (formerly SBC) DSL for my primary internet connection here, and tonight it has been exceptionally, extraordinarily S - L - O - W.... Pages that normally load in, at most, seconds, are taking several minutes to locate, even common, frequent access pages like Google, Gmail, etc. I called AT&T, of course, and all they know about is IE, which, as you can probably guess, I rarely

Just thought I'd follow up on my post from around august.... it seems that the latest kernel has indeed fixed the cool 'n quiet issues with my Athlon X2 3800. basically the following messages were appearing; powernow-k8: ignoring illegal change in lo freq table-2 to 0x2 powernow-k8: transition frequency failed and both cores were going at full 2.0ghz speed. Now with

Hey all, Since moving a 4.3 x86-64 install from a single athlon64 to a new dual core AMD cpu it would appear that cool'n quiet is having trouble as is shown in the system logs; powernow-k8: ignoring illegal change in lo freq table-2 to 0x2 powernow-k8: transition frequency failed Any ideas ?
