I know this is more of a general unix question, but the thread about the last kernel update, and memory usage got me to looking and thinking. Given a system with 2 Gb of memory, and at peak usage, top reports considerably less than the 2 gig amount in use, as well as system monitoring that never shows all available memory used, what would happen if you just turned swap off, and let memory

Don't know if this might be hardware or software related, but it seems that every time I attempt to do a remote reboot of the machine, everything shuts down normally, and it never comes back. Just returned from the co-lo site, and when I plugged the monitor in, it had gone to the point of "rebooting" and hung. This is 4.3 on x-86. Sam -- Sam W.Drinkard -- sam at wa4phy.net

This is really strange. Day before, I updated the machine here (x86_64) and all went normal. I rebooted, and everything came back just as I expected. Next morning, I noticed one of my jobs during the night had finished, but finished late by about 8 or 9 minutes. I really didn't think much of it, but after looking at jobs running today, I'm seeing the same thing. Processes that

I updated my x86 machine day before yesterday, and I noticed two things. The clamav user and group was deleted, and not recreated, and when the makewhatis ran, I got a page full of "zcat: stdout: Broken pipe" entries. What gives with the makewhatis and clamav? Was clamav removed from the software? I encountered no errors when the transaction check and transactions were run.

Rats... found some hardware monitoring from the vendor and it's broken, or I'm missing some pieces. No mention of CentOS specifically, but RH is supported, so figured it *ought* to work. I'm apparently missing a library -- liblinc.so.1, and a net search reveals several sources, both for x86 and 64-bit. Tried them both, after the x86 did not work, and the 64-bit I thought was

Just looked at the log from the x86_64 machine and I see the same zcat: stdout: Broken pipe in the 00-makewhatis.cron job as on the x86 machine. Did I miss some thread about current updates somewhere? sam -- Sam W.Drinkard -- sam at wa4phy.net NOAA Cooperative Observer http://wa4phy.net Augusta Area Mesonet

Another question some of you may help me make decisions on. I've been doing some reading that indicates that having HT turned on in this dual xeon machine might actually slow down the computing process rather than speeding it up. I rebooted this a.m., and turned HT off, just prior to my main application run. One thing that might be of note, this application is using OMP for utilizing

I've apparently made a mess of clamav. Tried uninstalling it, and excluded it from dag's repo. Now, when I yum install clamav and clamav-server, I'm apparently missing all the libs, data and so forth. Can someone tell me what I need to do to get this back ? I probably blew all the old stuff away during the update or later, and don't have a clue as to why it's not doing

Could someone give me some assistance in getting this startup script to conform to chkconfig and such where the service will start up after networking comes up, and then shut down when networking goes away? Where all do entries need to be made, and what would they consist of? Many thanks..... Sam ------------------------------------------------------------------------ #! /bin/sh export

I'm having a terrible time trying to get the superodoctor software from super micro running. It appears now, I do not have any i2c modules installed in the kernel, which begs the answer, ARE they included in the latest CentOS kernel? Current kernel for me is 2.6.9-34.0.1.ELsmp. Thanks.... -- Sam W.Drinkard -- sam at wa4phy.net http://wa4phy.net

Or is it some sort of inside joke? http://www.hughesjr.com/ If it's a bona fide hack, I'd be curious to know how the culprit got in. The the distro's maintainer has gotten burgled one would think that a lot of other systems are at risk. Cheers,

Ran into something tonight I've not seen before. The system has been up for 20 days, and has not missed a beat of any sorts, even when getting beat on at a decent level. What my concern is, tonight I attempted to log out so X would restart, and from the looks of all the stuff on the screen (which never did reload gdm) was chock full of statements where swap had been exhausted, and processes

Hi, I haven't tried the code yet. Is there a way to parse this data using R and create bar plots so that each program's 'RAM used' figures are grouped together. So 'uuidd' bars will be together. The data will have about 50 sets. So if there are 100 processes each will have about 50 bars. What is the recommended way to graph these big barplots ? I am looking

Hi, I''ve been successfully using shorewall in our K12 school since the 2.x days initially on Mandrake and now on Debian. Because of that my config has got quite complicated. The firewall has a working MultiISP setup with four interfaces (I''ve renamed them with udev to easy their identification): lan-if, dmz-if, snt-if and dnt-if (one of the providers (the one on dnt-if) is a DSL

I have obviously done something on my system to cause it to no longer show Shorewall log entries in the syslogs, but for the life of me I can''t figure out what. Let me first give you some details about my config which will hopefully show why I think logging should be working, and perhaps you can tell me why it''s not. I am using version 2.0.9 from the debian sarge package

We recently began seeing server crashes in our cluster related to "pop3-login", which is causing "oom-killer" to be invoked. The server only recovers after a reboot. From dovecot.conf: login_process_per_connection = yes login_processes_count = 16 login_max_processes_count = 256 (Should we try switching processes_per_connection to no?) From dovecot.log: dovecot: Apr 17

Hi! I have small problem. On my sound tab i have only OSS and i didn't have sound in "steam" games. Emulation not work(OSS too). Somebody now why? :) Ubuntu 8.04. greetings! redlin

Hi All, A few years ago I was asked if I could redirect console messages from Iptables to a different virtual console, on RedHat 7.3 . I managed to do it, but can't remember how I did it, now that the same question has arisen ona Centos 3.4 box. I edited /etc/syslog.conf and redirected kern.* to /dev/tty2 for example & this didn't work I edited /etc/sysconfig/syslog and modified
