Hi Folks, as you could read in my other posting ("No reiserfs support after kernel-update") I had problems with reiserfs and the official kernel. My question: is to expect also an kernel-update from this mentioned centosplus repository??? Thx Timothy

All, There have been many requests for added kernel features that the upstream provider left out of the standard kernel. (ReiserFS, Video4Linux, Firewire support, XFS, NTFS, JFS, etc.). We want the main release CDs to contain a standard kernel for compatibility and stability reasons. CentOS is created as a clone, and it needs to be as close as possible to the upstream distro. That being said,

Hi Folks, I have to setup a new server with a fritz-pci-ISDN-card inside. For it the fcpci-Packages from atrpm-repo is needed. Trying to install this package on a machine with the newest CentOS5-Plus Kernel I get an error message Missing Dependency: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 is needed by package fcpci-kmdl-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 Okay -I have a vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5.centos.plus.

Hello, how can install my CentOS 4.3 under Reiserfs from install? (clean install) I have to download the kernel from centosplus and integrate to my dvd and mofidy some things on anaconda or something? I hace already googled about this but some answers are too crazy than I'm get scared! I was thinking something like this: Format my S-ATA with other distro who support Resiserfs and when

While trying to get my SD card reader to work with CentOS, it was recommended to me that I update to the centosplus kernel. I attempted to do so using yum, as was recommended, but I encountered the following error: [root at localhost ~]# yum --enablerepo=centosplus update kernel Repository update already added, not adding again Error getting repository data for centosplus, repository not

Now that I've been enlightened to the terrible write performance of ext3 on my new 3Ware RAID 5 array, I'm stuck choosing an alternative filesystem. I benchmarked XFS, JFS, ReiserFS and ext3 and they came back in that order from best to worst performer. I'm leaning towards XFS because of performance and because centosplus makes kernel modules available for the stock kernel.

Hi Folks, I'm using CentOS 4.3 on my desktop. All works well - until today. On my machine are also other 'nixe like Kubuntu with reiserfs - filesystem. Before update no problems with this partitions. But after the update from today(kernel 2.6.9-42.0.2.EL) I get a message "no support for reiserfs is in the current kernel" and mounting these partitons are impossible. Why ???

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

Im sorry if this is a newb question, but how do you recompile the kernel in CentOS 4.3? I need to add reiserfs support (even though the setup detected it) the kernel it gave me didnt have support for reiserfs, and my entire fileserver is all reiserfs. I tried the gentoo way, which im use to and it bombed. What do i need to do? does it install kernel source by default? I couldnt find any good

Hi Folks, I'd like to use "start-stop-daemon" on my centos-machine. I know , it's debian-like. But I can't find "startproc" on my machine nor in the repos. What is the CentOS-replacement for "start-stop-daemon"? Thx Timothy P.S. I found a start-stop-daemon.c script - but how to compile it? gcc start-stop-daemon.c ends in much errors.

Is it possible that the kernel in the centosplus repo is not up to date ? The centosplus kernel I have is kernel-PAE-2.6.18-238.5.1.el5 and the regular one is 2.6.18-238.9.1.el5... I need the plus because of the firewire drivers. Regards,

Hi we had one of our mail servers , going on kernel panic mode ( not syncing fatal exception) ... cause /var/queue/postfix was on reiserfs part .. it has not been giving us any isssue quite some time , but yesterday and today it went on Kernel panic mode , when we hashed out the reiserfs part it booted properly .. we formated the part^ on ext3 later and things working fine now . Could any one

What does the CentOSPlus kernel have that the standard kernel does not? It is just additional drivers and modules? Or are there additional differences? -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Download the Model Railroad System http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Binaries for Linux and MS-Windows heller at deepsoft.com --

Hello all, I'm relatively new to CentOS, but I've been using linux as my main operating system on both the desktop and server ends for the past 4 years. I currently have a PIII server with two 160GB IDE hard drives in it, in a virtual RAID 1 array. At the time of installation, the only FS choices for the largest partition, 120GB, were ext2 and ext3. I chose ext3, but now am wishing

Hi Folks, CentOS 5.5 x86_64 Asrock-Board with 2 USB3 plugs. Normally USB3-drive is detected. But occasionaly after "umount" next time this drive or other ones will not be detected. I have to boot the PC - than it works - till next unrecognition. On USB2 plugs all works correct. No messages in /var/log/messages nor dmesg. What happens here? Board failure - or other reasons? Some

I am currently running a Windows XP system at home with around 100+ Mb in use over ~400Mb of NTFS file systems. I am installing CentOS 4.4 on it when I change out the mobo/cpu/mem/video combo I just bought. I want to convert all the file systems to (probably) Reiserfs or maybe ext3, but I need to do them one at a time because I only have enough transfer space to accommodate the largest one, or

Hi Folks, I've fresh installed CentOS 5.5 and realized, that Samba is in version 3.0.33-3. Is it possible to conect WIN7 in a Samba-Dom?ne with this version?
