I'm trying to rsync a 8TB data folder containing squillions of small files and it's taking forever (i.e. weeks) to get anywhere. I'm assuming the slow bit is check-summing everything with a single CPU (even though it's on a 12-core server ;-( ) Is it possible to do something simple like scp the whole dir in one go so they're duplicates in the first instance, then get rsync to

Hello, Where I can find remmina for CentOS 6.3? Thanks, L?zaro.

Hi all, I'm just poking thru our previous sysadmin's user adding script and saw reference to a ~/.forward file containing the users email address. Any idea what it might be for? It's a tricky one to Google ;-) Thanx, Russell Smithies ? ======================================================================= Attention: The information contained in this message and/or attachments from

I have a new server with multiple nics running Centos 6.2 and I'd like to force all NFS traffic over one nic. We're using FreeNAS to dish out NFS shares and I have different IPs on my 2 nics but how can I get the server to mount the share over one particular nic? Or is there a better way to do it? Thanx, Russell Smithies

I've got xen-3.0.3-105.el5_5.5 running on Centos 5.5 and all is running smooth but I notice that any VMs running under it only have access to Realtek RTL8139C at 100 Mbps nics. We have 4 x 1G nics configured in a port channel so I'd really like to be able to give my VMs 1000Mbps nics. Does anyone know if this is possible and how to do it? If not, does KVM support faster nics because at

I've just setup nic bonding on our server (DL585-G7 running Centos 5.5 x86_64) as detailed on the wiki: http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/BondingInterfaces and all seems fine but from other "howto's" I've seen on the web, they're should be a /proc/net/bond0/info As far as I can see, I don't have one and I'm not sure if it should be there or its absence is a

We have a 10Gbps connection to our server so I need to be able to create VMs using the faster e1000 nics instead of the default Realtek 100Mbps ones but I''m not sure how to go about it. Is there a walkthrough or "howto" or can someone point me at some simple instructions? I''m using xen-3.0.3-105.el5_5.5 and Centos 5.5 kernel 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5.centos.plusxen VMs are

We're looking at using windbind and AD for our user account details but have run into a small snag. All user accounts in AD are upper case but our linux accounts are lower-case. Is there a simple solution we've overlooked? We really don't want to have to hack this...

Hi all I would like to install CentOS on this: http://www.lannerinc.com/x86_Network_Appliances/FW-7520 - No VGA/DVI - Only a "console" port (the old 9600 baudrate one) - Boot on USB actived by default Would you know a tutorial helping on installing CentOS on this? I guess I have to - download the minimal iso, - 'dd'-copy it to a flash USB drive - setup some files to use the

I have a lot of data in some vdump files backed up from a Tru64 system that I now need to recover to a Centos server. We no longer have any servers running Tru64, is there any way to extract/convert them on a "standard" linux system? Ideally converting in bulk to a tar would do. Any ideas?

I have nic bonding (mode=802.3ad) setup on 2 servers, both running Centos 5.5 In the "Active Aggregator Info", on one reports 4 ports - which is correct - but the other only reports 3 ports. It''s always eth0 that shows a different aggregator ID. Changing the cables around so it hits a different port on the switch makes no difference. The switch is correctly configured for the

This may be more of a general linux question but is there a simple way of preventing users from creating symlinks to or from certain directories? I have a /scratch dir that's a single 27TB volume and I don't want users linking their home dirs as there's a chance it will screw up our external backups. Is this a job for SELinux? Any ideas? Thanx, Russell

For a high-performance system (64-cores, 512GB RAM, 5TB local disk, 110TB NFS-mounted storage) is there any advantage of dropping lvm and mounting partitions directly? We're not planning on changing partition sizes, but if we did we'd probably do a full rebuild. Has anyone done performance testing to show that lvm isn't crippling I/O? Thanx, Russell

I have a CentOS 6.2 Desktop-Version (my Laptop). I have install remmina via rpm and want now install a plugin (rpd).

I came across an old post comment yesterday (from http://echenh.blogspot.com/2010/04/how-to-extend-lvm-on-vmware-guest-os.html ) discussing the "hack" of LVM on Linux VM guests and whether it's better not to use it to simplify disk management. I've re-posted the comment below, does it sound reasonable? Is it better to not use LVM on Linux VM guests? --Russell

Hi ! Since the last couple of months, we had a few problems with the maner we designed our clustered filesystem and we are planing to do a re-design of the filesystems and how they are used. Our cluster is composed of 8 nodes, connected via fibre channel, to a raid enclosure where we have 6 pair of 1-tb drives in mirror, so 6 1tb physical volumes. First of all, our services that are run

Hi all, I had a big problem I did not figured out. It is solved, but I have questions about the matter. It's about Exim 4.72/CentOS 6. Connecting to Exim via "localhost" is denies relay Connecting to Exim via 127.0.0.1 accepts the relay "localhost" is in the local_domains domainlists "localhost" is resolving to 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts Why?
