Hi, GridEngine (http://gridengine.sunsource.net, aka. SGE) is an opensource batch system for clusters. They have an integration with SSH: http://gridengine.sunsource.net/project/gridengine/howto/qrsh_ssh.html The idea is that instead of using a modified rsh/rshd, they wanted to OpenSSH. However, in order to provide full job control, they need to add a few hooks in OpenSSH. Question: - Is it OK

Hi I am looking for assistance with setting up R under Sun grid engine 6 (6.0-update7). I would like to set up transparent interactive access to R using either a qlogin or qrsh solution. While it basically works using either method, I reach the same sticking point. There seems to be an issue with signalling or something, as R works ok until a non-R command is typed in - eg "blah" - at

Hi All, I've downloaded this image (disk 2) from several sites, and it matches the MD5 sum. Burning it to a CD gives no errors, but the disk is failing the self-check at the start, and if I ignore that and try to install I get random packages which "cannot be read". I know the burner is OK, as I've burned other CDs on it just fine after burning the CentOS ones. Any

The OpenMPI package that ships with CentOS 5.1 does not seem to be compiled with torque support. It does, however, seem to be compiled with gridengine and slurm support. Would it be possible to get this changed?

Anyone using or has access to ParallelR? I was looking at the page and found nothing really useful! http://www.revolution-computing.com/sitegenius/topic.php?id=195 I want to see if I can run R on a cluster of workstation, and use batch systems like Grid Engine or Xgrid: http://gridengine.sunsource.net/ http://ww.apple.com/acg/xgrid/ --Chi

Hi, I opened an enchancement request: http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1070 I am hoping that the patch can get into the standard OpenSSH source tree, so that users just need to download the latest version of OpenSSH tarball and build an integrated sshd themselves. Please let me know any further changes are needed. Thanks, -Ron __________________________________________________

Hi all, I have a problem with cpu affinity in my R-2.11.1 installation compiled against ATLAS running on a Linux (Ubuntu 10.04) cluster under GridEngine. I wish to use Grid Engine's core binding feature to bind user processes into the number of cores they request on the cluster, thus preventing badly behaved multi-threaded libraries from consuming more cores than requested. An example of

Tomas, I think you're not addressing the actual issue which is a clear regression in Sys.getenv() [because it used to work and still works for single env var, but not a list] and the cryptic error due to that regression (caused by changes in R-devel). So in either case, Sys.getenv needs fixing (i.e., this should really go to the bugzilla). Its behavior is currently inconsistent. The quoted

Hello. We have a number of Xen 3.4.2. boxes which have constant iowaits at around 10% with spikes up to 100% when accessing data over NFS. We have been unable to nail down the issue. Any advice?

Hi, we are having a problem with NFS using RDMA protocol over our FDR10 Infiniband network. I previously wrote to NFS mailing list about this, so you may find our discussion there. I have taken some load off the server which was using NFS for backups, and converted it to use SSH, but we are still having critical problems with NFS clients losing connection to the server, causing the clients

Hello, I'm compiling a collection of stories from the systems administrator trenches. They can be short or long, funny or about a particularly challenging problem or period, or even something that appeared very technically challenging and ended up being something very simple. Stories which are more political would be ok so long as they do not have an agenda or can be interpreted as a

Hello, I have a GridEngine setup with 5 subnodes and two RAIDS attached. I backed up the OS drive - 120GB - to an external hard drive - 500GB - using ddrescue. The OS drive is partitioned as: sda1 has the OS and is about 7 GB sda2 has /var and is about 4 GB sda3 has swap and is about 1 GB After backing up, there were 4KB of errors, but all at the end of the disk around 118GB. This used to be

Hi. We have another leap second coming. Have past bugs with Centos and leap seconds (specifically high CPU spikes) been resolved? Should we be worried? -G

Hello Everyone, First time CentOS poster :) I have CentOS 4 installed on the head node of a Sun Gridengine cluster set up in a RAID. The head node has four hard drives, and I assume that drives 1 and 2 are in a raid and then drives 3 and 4 are in another raid. I was trying to expand the OS partition on drive 1 because it was full. I took drive 1 out, put it in my Fedora 8 box as a secondary

Good morning/day and Happy New Year. We have a geographically distributed environment (marketing speak: cloud) where we regularly need to migrate individual systems to new hardware (for bigger disks or for better geographical placement, for example). We currently use Cobbler to do our base installs automatically and I am now looking at integrating Clonezilla with Cobbler. The goal is take an

Is anyone working on Nagios 3.x RPMs? If not, perhaps I'll whip some up and submit them to some appropriate repository. Geoff Galitz Blankenheim NRW, Deutschland http://www.galitz.org

Hallo, today I had a surprising situation. Exim stopped. It's a German centos 5.3 64 Bit installation so the messages are partial in German. Then I tried a restart: [root at centos ~]# service exim restart exim beenden: [FEHLGESCHLAGEN] exim starten: /bin/bash: line 1: 6596 Die maximale Dateigr??e ist ?berschritten

Are folks in the Centos community succesfully using device-mapper-multipath? I am looking to deploy it for error handling on our iSCSI setup but there seems to be little traffic about this package on the Centos forums, as far as I can tell, and there seems to be a number of small issues based on my reading the dm-multipath developer lists and related resources. -geoff Geoff Galitz Blankenheim
