Hi all, Man page of tune2fs says that max journal size is 102,400 filesystem blocks, which translates to ~100MB with 1kb blocks or ~400MB with 4kb block. I wonder - why this limitation exists? Now that relatively cheap ssd devices exist (gigabyte iRam) that offer up to 4GB of space, it would be extremely useful to use whole capacity of such device for full data journaling. -- Jure Pe?ar

Hello, As a Virtuozzo users we have majority of our diskspace formatted with -i 1024 -b 1024. Lately I discovered that on CentOS 4.6 ext2online barfs when I try to grow such filesystem. Running it with -v -d, it prints lots of lines like: ext2online v1.1.18 - 2001/03/18 for EXT2FS 0.5b ext2online: 873646830 is a bad size for an ext2 fs! rounding down to 873644033 ... group NNN inode table has

Hi all, One of our mx servers started misbehaving today (postfix would timeout internally, load rising) and after I tried to reboot it, I got this: Assertion failure in __journal_drop_transaction() at fs/jbd/checkpoint.c:613: "transaction->t_forget == NULL" ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/jbd/checkpoint.c:613! invalid operand: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules

Hi all, Since I've got no reply on redhat cluster list, I'm trying here ... I'm testing a rhcs4 cluster with gfs. I noticed some poor performance while tarring data from a gfs volume to a local disk from both nodes at the same time, so I deceided to have a closer look. Here are the bonnie++ results: http://jure.pecar.org/gfs/ I don't know what to think of these ... but I doubt

Hi all, i just had some enlightnening expirience. One of our servers died early this morning. When i rebooted it, it crashed again something like 5 seconds after finishing the boot, with the same oops message. Trying to figure out what is causing it i booted into single user mode and after some more crashes concluded that it is enough just to start postfix and the machine will crash within

Hi all, I have two HP DL145 G1 machines, running centos4 (2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp).

Hello, I just noticed that centosplus for c4 provides mysql 5.0.54, while centosplus for c5 does not provide that recent version and so c5 is stuck with mysql 5.0.22. Any particular reason for that or it is just that no one has yet compiled & packaged 5.0.5x for c5? Also, where does 5.0.54 comes from? MySQL site is only at 5.0.45 rpm and 5.0.51 source ... -- Jure Pe?ar

Hello, I seem to recall from my redhat5/6/7 days that certain installation methods used for kickstarting only invoked text mode install. Now I read that graphical install is default in kickstart on el5/6. However, in my test environment (with older HP DL140G3) I only get text mode install up, even if I specify graphical in kickstart file, with both nfs and http install methods. There's no

Hello, Not strictly a CentOS question, but I hope someone can hint me in the right direction ... I have an incoming udp data stream to public interface that I want to duplicate and multipy to three or more destinations on the internal interface. Currently I've managed to put together netcat listener with output to pipe and socat reading from that pipe to a single destination. I hoped I

Hi all, I'm looking for network mapping software that would walk the local subnet and using snmp/cdp/nmap & friends produce a picture of network connections for documentation purposes. I've seen some for wintendo, but haven't found any decent for linux and CentOS specifically. Something like cheops-ng.sf.net would fill my needs, but before I start a fight with 5+ years old code

Hi list, I'm configuring microsoft doc|ppt|xls viewers to run under KDE. After a bit of hassle even printig works ok :) Great work, guys. I noticed while running xlview.exe that wine proccess grows about 3mb in size each 5 seconds. Running with --debugmsg warn+all shows lots of 'warn:heap:HEAP_Is_Real_Arena Heap 0x40ef0000: block 0x300476d2 is not inside heap' messages. With

About two weeks ago i was whining about an inode that got lost, now i'm going to whine more about strange things happening here. A matroxfb just oopsed on me (thats not strange), the machine got unusuable, so i logged in from another and got the idea to touch /forcefsck. Upon reboot, fsck said that some inodes are in use but have dtime set and that some files are illegal sockets. Now this

Hello, Has anyone managed to redirect output of kickstart install to ILO serial console? I have to test and deploy the remote install with kickstart but have trouble debugging it because I can't see the output. -- Jure Pe?ar http://jure.pecar.org

Hello, we're implementing a dovecot 1.2.1 with sieve 0.1.7 and managesieve 0.11.7. We're having problems with creating sieve scripts so that vacation works.

Hi all, I was informed[1] that gfs & rhcs packages are in the works but that there are some problems with the code. What are these problems? Can we do anything to help test / solve them?

Hi all, is any of the "unsupported" centos3 kernels built with quota for reiserfs patches? -- Jure Pe?ar http://jure.pecar.org/

Hello, I see that ext4 is now available for CentOS 5.5 Is there any general opinion about it? Is it as good on 2.6.18 based kernels as it is good on newer kernels? -- Jure Pe?ar http://jure.pecar.org http://f5j.eu

Hello, I have a couple of centos5 hosts at various offices connected with ipsec by ipsec-tools (racoon). It's a relatively straightforward configuration on ipv4, however I can't find any information how and even if it works in the same way with ipv6. What I've found is some references that it is better to use openswan on el5 and it indeed is standard on el6. It promises ipv6 support

Hi list, I just noticed in the chattr(1) man page that there exists a 'j' attribute which actually does the same thing that data=journal mount option would do, expect it only sets this property on the directories of my choice. Big Thanks to the one that came up with that idea :) It allows me to set +j on mail queues that must sit on the same partitions as the rest of the system (the guy

Hi list, I recently came up with the need for the storage, shared between two nodes; one would do all the r/w to it and the other would mount it r/o and serve it to the client boxen. I want to use ext3 in this setup, since i trust it the most. My question is: is this possible? How would the r/o node handle the metadata updates that the r/w node would be doing? If there is some fundamental
