Hi All: We have been looking at implementing deduplication on a backup server. >From what I have been able to find the available documentation is pretty thin. I ended up trying to install LessFS on this CentOS 5.7 box but we have now encountered problems with fuse version. Has anyone out there been able to get LessFS running on CentOS 5.7 and can provide some pointers? If not LessFS can you

Hi, I'm currently running GlusterFS over XFS, and it works quite well. I'm wondering if it's possible to add data deduplication into the mix by: glusterfs --> lessfs --> xfs or glusterfs --> opendedupe --> xfs Has anybody tried doing this? We're running VM images on gluster, and I figure we could get a bit of space saving bu deduplicating the data. Gerald

Hi all, A friend of mine gives me a copy of Centos5 DVD. I then make an iso of it using dd if=/dev/cdrom of=centos5.iso command. I then check it using sha1sum. But the result is different than of listed in Centos website. Should it the same? Or we simply cannot compare sha1sum from burned DVD to that of 'unburned' iso file? Thanks. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux

Hello all, In the network there is already a W2K server serving as DHCP server for the network. Then we want to implement LTSP, so we need to setup another DHCP server, right? Due to unexpected reason (little by little migration of w98 clients to LTSP), we need to keep the W2K server running in that network. Can we then have 2 DHCP server in the same subnet, only serving pre-determine clients

Hi all, Recently one my Centos 5.7 VM just crashes at least once a day randomly (hang). In /var/log/messages there is nothing at all that there is problem (no error, no failure). The log just stops. The only change I did before this crashes is I activated LDAP authentication, and also auditd. But I don't see any evidence relating to it. Any clue where to look for the cause? Thank you.

Hi all, I need some advise on how best manage a share folder. We have a 2TB samba share. Inside there is individual user sub-folder, and also there are team's folders. We use one shared account for all users. The problem is: The user abuse the space usage. My thought: - Implement quota for each user. - But the implication is each user must have their own account and this potentially gives

Hi all, I have plan to replace my Centos5.7 VM with newer version. The VM works as our network gateway. I want to ask from your experience, will it be a bad decision? My concern is that since the Mac Address of the gateway will change, will it disrupt the network? How fast the Switches can recognize the new mac? Any other pitfall? Thanks Fajar.

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 all, Due to some reason, I will have to stop using Samba as our fileserver, and instead replace it with SSH access only. Users will be able to use WinSCP for it. The question is, is there any tool to track files (what is new files, deleted files by who, etc)? In Samba I can do that. I don't know how if it's SSH access. Thank you Fajar.

Hi all, I have a task on setting up a cluster of 2 servers for providing ftp service. We use RH's Cluster suite. However the cluster setup is lack of shared network storage, so the /var/ftp/pub is mounted on each server. The cluster is set with Master and Slave configuration (when the master is down, slave serves. and when master is up again, slaves gives up the service back to master). We
