similar to: CentOS vs RedHat packages

In comparing CentOS to RedHat releases, it seems to me CentOS is the Desktop/Workstation class distro from RedHat. Does the CentOS project then not have a Server class distro, or am I missing something? Granted, most any operating system can act as a server, but there are some fundamental components of a server-class OS that help is stand out versus a workstation version. Thanks for any

Hi everyone. Does anyone know why the user-space heartbeat (linux-ha) patches from SuSE / Novell are not commited to the mainline ocfs2 source tree? Or are they? Is there an easy way (which does not break the distros package management) to apply these? Thanks, Christian

When I try to burn anything to cd, I get a message to insert a CD large enough for my file (normally an ISO image). Doesn't matter if the iso image is a 600Mb Centos ISO or a 48Mb DSL ISO. Same warning. My CD-Rs are Memorex 700MB/80min 52x disks that work just fine on XP systems. So what am I missing configuration-wise?

Hi, I was wondering if there have been any conversations with backup vendors like Veritas or EMC regarding better integration with ZFS. While I understand they can use the "native" mode of reading files from the filesystem, it would be great if there were agents that had options like making a snapshot and storing a "zfs backup" datastream that could be used for zfs restore.

Hello experts, We have a large implementation of Symantec Netbackup 6.0 with disk staging. Today, the customer is using VxFS as file system inside Netbackup 6.0 DSSU (disk staging). The customer would like to know if it is best to use ZFS or VxFS as file system inside Netbackup disk staging in order to get the best performance possible. Could you provide some information regarding this

A few questions: 1. How does ZFS compare to Luster? 2. Is ZFS compatible with Veritas Netbackup Suite? 3. Does ZFS support bare metal restore (BMR)? Pointers welcome!!

I just installed CentOS 4.4 on my laptop, having good experience with Debian, Fedora Core 5, and RHEL4. I really like 4.4's overall appearance (meshing of RHEL4 and FC5), but what I have yet to figure out is how to access repositories for applications that are not part of the default install, such as ncftp. I invoked and updated yum, but it had no idea. I would also like to see what

Hello to all: I know this list is generally Linux-only, but I figured I'd try to gain wisdom from those with hard-core Windows needs, too. I was recently pricing out a high-end desktop system for a user who will doing a lot of CAD, Matlab, SolidWorks, and other apps that will utilize a lot of number crunching and video. The quote for the desktop (64-bit Vista is likely), which included 12

Good day to all. I would like to congradulate you all on a brilliant product. I have been watching this list for some time as I find the topics most informative. I have a carefully crafted question that I would like to ask you guys. But first some info to help give you a better picture. I am using a RH 9.0 box and the latest rsync to backup different servers to an offsite data facility. The

I was just curious what the fundamental differences were between the 4.x and 5.x branches? Thanks. Scott

Having snapshot technology is great. Who else supports it? Thanks. Scott

Yes, I know it is old, but I'm looking for a copy of CentOS 3.5 - CDs or DVD for i386. I can only find 3.8. Thanks for any leads. Scott

This may be slightly off topic. I am using FreePBX, and using it's backup feature. Here is the question part: I would like to copy my backup off the asterisk server. >From your experiences, which approach seems more resilient to failure: Push the backup from asterisk to another server using STFP or FTP? Pull the backups from asterisk from another server using SFTP or other? The

When I used Fedora Core 5, and got to the screen for packages to install, I had the option to Customize which packages I wanted to install, but never an option to install EVERYTHING. That annoyed me. When I use Redhat Enterprise 4, and get to the screen for packages to install, I have the option to Customize which packages I want to install. That leads me to a screen showing a tree of

I recently installed Icecast2 on my XP Home Laptop. My goal is to get the audio from my vhf/uhf scanner, whose audio out is connected to the laptop's mic port, out as a stream so I can listen to it when away from home (like from work). I can hear the scanner fine through the laptop's speakers, but although I've read the documentation for the Icecast2 server configuration, I'm

I'm trying to configure two things on my RH 5 server with dual-boot CentOS 5 (out-of-box) and Windows XP w/SP2 (fully patched) clients: - NIS/NFS: I have managed to get user logins, but all accounts produce Can't Find Home Directory, Using Root! The error logs, when trying to mount any NFS directory, is the server claims permission denied. I've reviewed many web pages and

On an ext3 filesystem, what would cause the system to claim it is out of disk space for a program writing information to disk, when df -h shows ample GB available and the file is being written to local disk rather than an nfs-mounted filesystem? I believe the hard drive is good. Ideas welcome. Thanks. Scott

Hi, When attempting to restore to LINUX RHEL5 - OCFS2 filesystem received the following error during RMAN restore for nearly all of the datafiles attempted to restore with exception of a couple of smaller datafiles which were smaller < 2GB. ORA-19870: error reading backup piece /db/dumps/TR1_1/rmanbackup/TR1_88_1 ORA-19502: write error on file "/db/devices/db1/PR2/pr2_1/pr2.data1",

I have a client with a handful of USB drives connected to a CentOS box. I am charged with binding the USB drives together into a single LVM for a cheap storage data pool (10 x 1 TB usb drives = 10 TB cheap storage in a single mount point). The next fun piece is how to incorporate that storage space into an existing Active Directory structure to apply AD acls for limited access. I'd rather
