Hi list, is there any working solution for deduplication of data for centos? We are trying to find a solution for our backup server which runs a bash script invoking xdelta(3). But having this functionality in fs is much more friendly... We have looked into lessfs, sdfs and ddar. Are these filesystems ready to use (on centos)? ddar is sthg different, I know. Thx Rainer

Hi, I need to transfer a local raw image to another datacenter. Is there a way to achieve good compression of this image, I heard of tools overwriting unused space with zeros. Is this a good idea? It's an W2k8 image/NTFS. Thx Rainer

Hi List, hope this is not too offtopic, but this bothers me and my backup. My backups are tar jobs in cron, eg: 20 23 * * * tar -zcf /mnt/backupInternalHosts/backup/backup.tar.gz /etc /root /home && touch /tmp/state_backup-backup This always sends me an unwanted email with: tar: Removing leading `/' from member names I consider this a bug because this informal message is

Hi all, I have followed the wiki howto to install KVM on my C5 server with a F10 x86_64 guest. Howto here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/KVM With one small problem here: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=74275&topic_id=19726 the guest is really running stable for one week now. Maybe someone could have a look at udev why it always sets permission for /dev/net/tun

Hi, I am running C6.5 64bit on an USB stick connected to a HP DL360G7; It is usually an ESXi host but eg for firmware updates (not available on SPP) I use this local installation. Problem are the lags and unresponsiveness we are seeing for example when running yum update in the installation phase. The whole system stalls but there is no io in vmstat. From what google tells us, this is a

Dear all, will there be a fastrack channel for C5? What are the problems inventing one? Thx Rainer

smartctl, hdparm, and sdparm all are valuable tools to obtain hard drive info. But, they don't seem to work, at least, on obtaining hard drive info from drives on a Dell PERC controller. Instead, I'm given basic PERC controller info, not drive info. Is there a tool to let me get the hard drive make/model/serial numbers from a hardware RAID setup? Thanks. Scott

Hi, to prevent scripted dictionary attacks to sshd I applied those iptables rules: -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 22 -m recent --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 4 --name SSH --rsource -j DROP -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 22 -m recent --set --name SSH --rsource And this is part of logwatch: sshd: Authentication Failures: unknown

Hi, I know, epel has rt3 in version 3.6.x. And - sadly - for version 3.8.x the perl module dependencies are way ahead of what I can find in epel or rpmforge. But we really need some of the 3.8.x series features. So has anybody maybe built those modules + rt3 v3.8.x for C5? Any hint? I really do not want to install f10. :O Thx Rainer

Hi all, sadly there is no epel tomcat package so far. As per https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1745960 there is no progress for three months. Is there any other third party repository which builds tomcat for centos/rhel 8? Thx Rainer

Hi, am running: Redhat EL4.4 i386, Samba 3.0.23d from Sernet, ext3 fs Samba as PDC Someone's got the idea to have one big share with access managed by directory's sticky bit. This works perfectly well when normal XP or W2k clients work with their explorer. But: With 'allway sync', an app to synchronize for example between laptop and fileserver the program is somehow able to

Hi, is this the right place to ask for updated -extras- packages? this seems to be the successor of the 8.2.x branch and contains various bugfixes. Thx Rainer

Hi, following system: Dell PE2650, 2 2.4ghz Xeon, 1gb ram, Dell Perc4DC Controller It has EL5 installed, but I wanted to change to Centos because of the missing workstation packages in the entry server repository.
