Upgraded the kernel to the latest, then tried to rebuild the proprietary Catalyst driver for a Radeon HD 4550 on a Dell Optiplex 980. The install dies, with a c error. Anyone else out there succeed in building one on the 2.6.18-194.17.1.el5-x86_64 kernel? I went to the ATI website, and the "installation instructions" include that it needs a) 32 bit software (which? dunno) and b) a

May be a little bit off topic, but this gave me hard laugh: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/24/sysadmin_file_tools/ Windows admins use a virtualized CentOS machine to copy files because their own tools are not able to handle copying a bigger amount of data. :) Cheers, Timo

Hello all, I have just configured a 64-bit CentOS 5.5 machine to support an XFS filesystem as specified in the subject line. The filesystem will be used to store an extremely large number of files (in the tens of millions). Due to its extremely large size, would there be any non-standard XFS build/configuration options I should consider? Thanks. Boris. -------------- next part -------------- An

Hey all, I have sort of an odd request for you today in regards to Kickstart configuration. I have recently created a kickstart configuration file to better standardize the configuration aspect of my server installations. I am having one issue and that is distributing a script (yum-check) via the kickstart file (in %post section). Parts of the script get written to the correct file

I have a problem that is driving me crazy. Our nfs server is running Solaris. Most clients mount directories from it with no problems, but not all. All clients that have problems run CentOS (5.4 and 5.5). I've found one or two of each version that fail, but also a couple of each version that work. The mounting is done for user home directories via autofs but that doesn't seem to make any

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

Hello! How can I use CentOS as a complete desktop OS? I want to run Autodesk products on it like AutoCAD,Revit,3D Max,etc. Does Wine (winehq) support running such software? Can I use (KVM,Xen) virtualization to run Windows XP and all commercial software on it? Does running XP in virtualization requires a license? Regards, Rahul Tidke

Hello all, I have yesterday after some typos, sent my ext3 RAID5 array to the void... I want to recreate it now, but I read on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Disk_Optimization that you can optimize the filesystem on top of the RAID. Will this wiki article be exactly the same for XFS? Is it worth the trouble to also create an LVM volume on the RAID array? Regards, Coert

a couple hours after the update (and requisite reboot and reinstallation of nvidia proprietary driver), I noticed I wasn't gettting any email. upon a little investigation, I noted that the update had replaced my custom sendmail.cf with its own. I don't recall updates to sendmail doing that previously,.... also, around that time my panels stopped unhiding, so they remained in a hidden

Hi, I have a program that writes lots of files to a directory tree (around 15 Million fo files), and a node can have up to 400000 files (and I don't have any way to split this ammount in smaller ones). As the number of files grows, my application gets slower and slower (the app is works something like a cache for another app and I can't redesign the way it distributes files into disk due
