Maybe someone could have a look at udev why it always sets permission for /dev/net/tun

My brain must be on knots somehow. I try to install rsync 3.x, which I know is in rpmforge repo for my architecture: https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=22214 http://packages.sw.be/rsync/ But yum does not find it, however I try. I have installed yum-priorities. Rpmforge is low priority. But still... yum erase rsync # erase v2.6 from base repo yum --disablerepo=\*

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

I got a WD 1TB My Book with eSATA/USB/Firewire400 connectivity to backup data on a client Centos 5.1 machine. USB 2.0 works fine out of the box but is rather slow, Nautilus predicts about 1+ hour to fully backup just one day's worth of data or about 100GB. So I was hoping Firewire would be faster, which is why we got the version with all 3 interfaces to experiment with first. Following the

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, 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

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, Reading http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=30939&forum=37 I noticed a warning about an upcoming bugged update xorg-x11-server-utils-7.1-5.el5_6.1 I would advise everyone to add exclude=xorg-x11-server-utils-7.1-5.el5_6.1 to their updates repo config.
