I've been reading that it's possible to set up a system with multiple NIC to provide redundant internet connectivity such that it will switch to a secondary connection if the primary ISP fails. Is it possible in a similar way to setup redundant LAN routing? I read that it is possible to aggregate/bond multiple NIC to stackable switches that support link aggregation and redundancy. But if

I'm a first time wine user, though long time Linux user, so excuse me if my question is documented somewhere. I've searched, here and google without success thus far. Looking through AppDB, I noticed that EE2 (Empire Earth 2) seems to work well with wine, so I decided to try this as my first attempt to use wine. Unfortunately, I get the following errors: "Failed to create Direct3D

Hi, I noticed the man update for my CentOS-5 kept popping up a couple of times, so instead of using yum-updatesd from the desktop I tried doing a yum update by hand. The update fails, even after removing the package from the cache: Error unpacking rpm package man-1.6d-2.el5.i386 error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/share/locale/bg/man: cpio: rename Failed: man.i386 0:1.6d-2.el5

As i'm discovering that some applications work best with "emulate virtual desktop" while I prefer to run others without that setting enabled. Is it possible to enable/disable that feature on a per application basis? For example, if I leave it off, is there a command line option i can add to a shortcut/script that enables it only for a particular application? Thanks...

Hey, What way is the best to do imports of CSV files?

I've been trying to do traffic shaping on one of my public servers and after reading up, it seems like the way to do so is via tc/htb. However, most of the documentation seems at least half a decade old with nothing new recently. Furthermore, trying to get documentation on tc filters turned up a blank. man tc refers to a tc-filters (8) but trying to man that gives a no such page/section

I'm trying to figure out what's causing an average system load of 3+ to 5+ on an Intel quad core. The server has with 2 KVM guests (assigned 1 core and 2 cores) that's lightly loaded (0.1~0.4) each. Both guest/host are running 64bit CentOS 5.6 Originally I suspected maybe it's i/o but on checking, there is very little i/o wait % as well. Plenty of free disk space available on all

I'm trying to resolve an I/O problem on a CentOS 5.6 server. The process basically scans through Maildirs, checking for space usage and quota. Because there are hundred odd user folders and several 10s of thousands of small files, this sends the I/O wait % way high. The server hits a very high load level and stops responding to other requests until the crawl is done. I am wondering if I add

I've been leaning towards actually deploying gluster in one of my projects for a while and finally a probable candidate project came up. However, researching into the specific use case, it seems that gluster isn't really suitable for load profiles that deal with lots of concurrent small files. e.g. http://www.techforce.com.br/news/linux_blog/glusterfs_tuning_small_files

I was trying to do some performance testing between using iSCSI on the host as a diskfile to a guest vs the VM guest using the iSCSI device directly. However, in the process of trying to establish a baseline performance figure, I started increasing the MTU settings on the PCI-express NICs with RTL8168B chips. First bottleneck was discovering the max MTU allowed on these is 7K instead of 9K but

Just tried to install RPMs to a RHEL 5.5 64-bit machine, failed too. #rpm -ihv --nodeps http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/RPMS/x86_64/syslinux-tftpboot-3.86-1.x86_64.rpm error: unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad Magic #rpm -ihv --nodeps http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/RPMS/x86_64/syslinux-tftpboot-3.84-1.x86_64.rpm error: unpacking of archive failed on

In a moment of epic stupidity, having ran out of space on the root partition of a server due to /var chewing up the space, I added a separate drive for the purpose of mounting it as /var To do so, I mounted the new drive as /var2, cp -R (in hindsight should had rsync to preserve attributes), deleted the original /var to free up space, edited fstab and rebooted... unsurprisingly to a fubar'd

I was having problems with the same server locking up to the point I can't even get in via SSH. I've already used HTB/TC to reserve bandwidth for my SSH port but the problem now isn't an attack on the bandwidth. So I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to ensure that SSH is given cpu and i/o priority. However, so far reading seems to imply that it's probably not going

Might be slightly OT as it isn't necessarily a CentOS related issue. I've been using WD Reds as mdraid components which worked pretty well for non-IOPS intensive workloads. However, the latest C7 server I built, ran into problems with them on on a Intel C236 board (SuperMicro X11SSH) with tons of "ata bus error write fpdma queued". Googling on it threw up old suggestions to

I am trying to install Ruby-1.8.7p302 on a CentOS-5.5 server in preparation for a Rails-3 application deployment. I have downloaded the source from Rubyforge.org, unpacked it, and ran ./config and make. Everything built without error. I then ran checkinstall to create an rpm package. That too completed without error. However, when I try to install the resulting package using: yum localinstall

Has anybody tried or knows if it is possible to create a MD RAID1 device using networked iSCSI devices like those created using OpenFiler? The idea I'm thinking of here is to use two OpenFiler servers with physical drives in RAID 1, to create iSCSI virtual devices and run CentOS guest VMs off the MD RAID 1 device. Since theoretically, this setup would survive both a single physical drive
