Hey folks, CentOS / PostgreSQL shop over here. I'm hitting 3 of my favorite lists with this, so here's hoping that the BCC trick is the right way to do it :-) We've just discovered thanks to a new Munin plugin http://blogs.amd.co.at/robe/2008/12/graphing-linux-disk-io-statistics-with-munin.html that our production DB is completely maxing out in I/O for about a 3 hour stretch from

Hey folks, I've got a RHEL 4.3 system (one of the few I have not yet converted to CentOS) that is running DB2 ... looks like 8.1 Just noticed that committed memory on my Munin graphs has been steadily climbing on a constant curve - yikes! There are 16G of physical ram and the commit is up to 80G now. Fortunately this is evidently not being accessed because I am not doing any swapping.

Hey folks, It looks to me like the httpd on CentOS is stuck at 2.2.2 - what's up with that? Even after a yum upgrade. I need 2.2.10 or greater, and would prefer to get it via yum or at very last an RPM if at all possible. But I cannot even find an RPM out there. For some reason both EPEL and Dag Wieers do not even seem to have an httpd RPM for RHEL5 Any idea where to look? Why are we

I am trying to get the x86_64 isos of CentOS-5.2. I wish to use bittorrent. The last time that I did this I required the bittorent package from Dag's repository. I have configured /etc/yum.repos.d/DagWieers.repo thus: [dag] name=Dag Wieers RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux #Also see URL http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/

Hey folks, Is there any way to fake a "yum update" just to get yum to force a download of all the files it needs, without actually installing them. I finally have a RPM cache/proxy working and I just want to populate it. The server I want to actually update cannot be updated until tomorrow but I'd like to do a fake update just to force the RPMs into my cache so they will all be

Hey folks, We have Munin set up for longer term performance monitoring stuff, and it has been extremely useful to us for what it does. However, it is hard coded to poll systems at 5 minute intervals, which of course proves not to be so useful when you have to dig down into more detail on something. What we typically do for load tests where we need more detail, is run this command :

Hey folks, I did some googling on this but did not come up with much. I'm using rsnapshot which uses rsync, and I notice some pretty long pauses in the xfers as you can see on this graph from "munin". THe machine in question right at the moment is doing nothing but rsyncing ( rsnapshoting ) some 12T of NAS storage to local disk, so there is nothing else going on at all.

Hey guys, I'm trying to install the latest Kerio and it seems to want an older version of libstdc++ which I cannot find anywhere in RPM land (sorry, but I just know gmail is going to mangle this on its way out ) [root at localhost ~]# rpm --install /home/amckay/kerio-kms-6.7.3-7892.linux.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libstdc++.so.5 is needed by kerio-kms-6.7.3-7892.linux.i386

> > The default config won't cache large files. And yum will try to use > different mirrors every time. > > Aha. I thought I had it set for no file limit, but I guess using different mirrors is what is confounding me. So squid will cache a specific file from a specific site, I guess? And even if it tries to get the exact same file elsewhere, it will re-download it afresh?

Hey folks, I just did an update on a system that is taking the better part of a day ( 5.3 ---> 5.7 ) mainly due to file download times. And I have 4 or 5 more systems to do. I know I can create my own repository and then point them at it - but that is difficult here because rsync is blocked (ggrrrrrr...) Surely there must be a way to have yum on the first box automatically cache everything

Hey folks, Maybe there is a Perl/CPAN list that is a better place to ask this? If so, maybe someone can point me to it. Anyway, I want to be able to script the installation of a bunch of CPAN modules, and the first basic problem I am coming up against is that the "cpan" command seems to always return 0 regardless of whether or not the install completed. Google does not bring up a

I need to install asciidoc on my build machine. There is a version for CentOS-5 available at dags rpm site. I have a repository configured for dag like so: [dag] name=Dag Wieers RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux #Also see URL http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/ baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag gpgkey=http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

I''m in the process of creating Puppet classes to install Munin via Yum on my RHEL4 hosts. Before Yum can be used as a provider, it obviously needs to be installed. I''ve tried requring the Yum package in the Munin classes but I still get an error about "Provider ''yum'' is not functional on this platform". Is there an easy way to require the yum class

Hey folks, I posted this as part of another old thread but am starting a new thread for it because I got no response. I've also since found the nfdump mailing list but it seems to be dead. I was not able to find either of these guys in a CentOS repository anywhere, so I'm building them manually. Below was on CentOS 5.2. ---snip--- I'm going to kick this old thread because I'm

Hey folks, We've got some new hardware and are trying to figure out what best to do with it. Either run CentOS right on the bare metal, or virtualize, or several combination options. Mainly looking at : - CentOS on bare metal - CentOS on ESXi 4.0 with local disk - CentOS on ESXi with 1 VM running Openfiler to serve disk to other VMs And want to benchmark these 3 scenarios So far all we

Hi folks, I''m having an issue with rsync between my firewall and an internal box. It seems to be a shorewall issue (or correctly speaking, an issue with my shorewall config) because if I disable shorewall my rsync works fine. And I just can''t find it documented anywhere what I need to do. I have rules like this : root@userver:/etc/shorewall# grep -i Rsync rules

Hey folks, I created a DomU, installed Linux, and then realized I''d only given it 1 NIC so brought it down to edit the cfg file to give it another NIC. Originally I just had : vif = [''''] And so I guess the defaults worked for the 1 NIC. So I changed it to : vif =

Hey folks, I'm trying to use a 5.3 box to run some JNLP apps, but all I get is a view of XML. I try doing some googling and don't come up with much other than this one thread that says I may need both 32 and 64 bit Java to run JNLP. But it is not clear to me how to do that. thanks, -Alan -- ?Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV? ? ? ? ?? - Michael Pollan,
