Hi, NetApp support has suggested us aligning partitions to improve performance, in short: starting sector must be divisible by 8. How can I move the start point in a misaligned partition -in production, with ext3- under Linux? A screenshot with a misaligned (start=63s) and aligned (start=64s) partition is available at: http://filesocial.com/lkwvvn2 (If anyone is interested in this topic,

Hello, I'm trying to use helper variables like %{rhel} in a .SPEC file on CentOS (as they are defined in RHEL and Fedora [1]), but it seems they are not available. Is there any way to detect automatically CentOS release from a .SPEC file in a RPM build process? As a workaround, I use this hack: %if 0%{?rhel} >= 5 (..) %endif And when calling rpmbuild I use a

Hello, I'm trying to build PHP 5.3.6 in a CentOS-4 server with MySQL 5.5.10 and I get this error: //usr/include/mysql/my_config_i386.h:610:1: warning: "PACKAGE_NAME" redefined /usr/include/mysql/mysql/psi/mysql_thread.h:100: error: syntax error before "pthread_rwlock_t" /usr/include/mysql/mysql/psi/mysql_thread.h:100: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union

Hi, What's the correct way to change configuration parameters for an iSCSI device? For example I/O scheduler, max_sectors_kb, etc... I could add commands to the S99local script: echo noop > /sys/block/sdb/queue/scheduler echo 64 > /sys/block/sdb/queue/max_hw_sectors_kb Unfortunately, iSCSI device names might change from sdb to, say, sdc (server reboot, iSCSI target reconnection).

Dear Srs, In the page: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Virtualization/OpenVZ Section -> "Additional Resources" "Performance evaluation of Xen vs. OpenVZ by HP Labs" link is broken, it points to: http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2007/HPL-2007-59.pdf And the PDF has been moved to: http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2007/HPL-2007-59R1.pdf Regards, -- Santi Saez

Hi, Is there any working script, similar to deboostrap, for CentOS 5? I have found rpmstrap [1] at RPMforge.. but only works for CentOS-4, and appears that's out of date. thanks! [1] http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/rpmstrap/ -- Santi Saez http://woop.es

Hi, I want to take snapshots of a iSCSI devices from a target that hasn't snapshot/cloning capabilities (it's a Infortrend A16E storage array). What method are you using to make snapshots/clones of iSCSI targets using Open-iSCSI + CentOS? What about using Open-iSCSI + LVM snapshots system? For example: - Take a LVM snapshot in the initiator with "lvcreate". - Give read-only

Hi, What's the correct way to disble TSO (TCP Segmentation Offload) in RHEL5? I have tried adding those options in ifcfg-ethX configuration file: # grep ETHTOOL /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 ETHTOOL_OPTS="tso off" And also with: ETHTOOL_OPTS="-K eth0 tso off" But when restating the server TSO is enabled: # ethtool -k eth0 tcp segmentation offload: on As

Suppose I want to upgrade a bunch of packages on a system, but in case the upgrade produces unexpected, undesired results, I want to be able to rollback the system to its original state. What is the best way to do that? Often, I won't have, or be able to find, packages for the current installed versions. I.e. If I haven't upgraded postgres for 2 years, it may be that I can no longer

Hello. What's the proper way to remove *all symbols* from ELF binaries when building packages with rpmbuild on CentOS? Seems that an out of the box rpmbuild install only discards debugging symbols (strip -g). That's the default configuration for %__os_install_post on CentOS, the step in charge on stripping binaries: $ rpmbuild --showrc (..) -14: __os_install_post

Dear Srs, yum-updatesd-0.9-2.el5 appears that it's not working on freshly installed CentOS 5.2, using: # rpm -qa "yum*" yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-2.el5 yum-updatesd-0.9-2.el5 yum-3.2.8-9.el5.centos.2.1 yum-fastestmirror-1.1.10-9.el5.centos I see some bugs ([1], [2] and [3]) in the bug tracker, and more info related to other distros like Fedora, etc.. with the same problem.

Forwarding just in case anyone is familiar with this on CentOS, thanks! -- Hello, Just found that net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range has different behavior between RHEL releases: until v6 although you have multiple source IPs you can only use a fixed number of local ports, seems that "ip_local_port_range" is a global configuration or limitation. On RHEL-6 kernel (testing with 2.6.32-279)

Hi Nux, The number will be higher than that. Some large systems just download once to their own private mirror and install from there. Where I used to work each download went to at least 6 systems, probably more.

I maintain a desktop oriented repo for CentOS and last I checked a year or so ago, I got over 150k+ unique IPs with yum user agent downloading stuff from it. It's a bit anecdotal as perhaps not all are actual desktop users and some users were using multiple IPs (dhcp), but it shows there are quite a few users out there running CentOS for desktop purposes. There are desktop focused distros

> I was told lately about this workaround, check it out. > https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2019/05/04/update-regarding-add-ons-in-firefox/ The signing thing is a security feature. I don't like a workaround to disable a security feature instead of fixing it. What makes me feel a bit bad is that everybody has fixed versions by now, only we enterprise Linux users using the ESR version

Hi, I'd like to know if there is any info on how to get the game "Dungeons" by Kalypso Media to work. I can't get it to work on my installation, but the strange thing it just quits with no error whatsoever (to be more precise, it never even starts) This is all the output i get: Code: [woop at woopstation:Kalypso Media/Dungeons]$ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-dungeons wine
