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

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.

Something has killed any writes to /var/log/messages. Syslogd is running. Has been off for some time and I just discovered it. Any hints as to what / where to look since syslogd is running?

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Hi, I'm using CentOS on server and desktop since 4.2, and I'm quite happy with it. Can you recommend some complete documentation besides the RHEL Deployment Guide? For example, I have a big fat paper book "FreeBSD Unleashed", 700 pages chock full of useful information. Now I wonder if you can recommend something similar for CentOS (RHEL / Fedora). cheers, Niki

All, My Rails app. is required to interface with some pre-existing stuff that consumes the XML output of a Java 1.5 WebRowSet. If you''ve never seen once of these beasts, it is basically an XML-ized version of SQL data, chock full of table and column specific metadata. I should be able to generate this without too much trouble, but wondered in anyone had any advice for me about how

We've been having intermittent problems with our Mac OS clients and our file servers. We've had a few reports of 10.6.x clients opening folders (usually consisting of image files) and having the Finder hang for an extended period of time before it finishes displaying the files. Additionally, when trying to copy a number of image files into another folder, I have witnessed it hang for 10+

I''m quite enjoying the rapid development using Ym4r! However, I''ve hit a roadblock and would appreciate any pointers. I''ve got a map that has GMarkers on it.

We have a central samba file share for our designers (who all use OSX boxes, and mostly use Macromedia products) to work off of. I've lately been able to track down a lot of application quirks (mostly problems with errors when saving, about files being locked) to the Mac resource fork files being indefinitely locked. Here's a sample from a `smbstatus` 14853 DENY_NONE 0x1

Hi, Our public library management software (PMB) runs on Apache/PHP/MySQL. It requires some additional PHP modules to run correctly, namely: 1) php-gd 2) php-yaz 3) php-xslt I've googled and fiddled around quite a bit, and come to the following conclusions: 1) php-gd can be installed from extra repos (rpmforge IIRC), so this one's no problem. 2) To install php-yaz, I have to
