-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Up until now, I have been using drbd for file custers with great success. Yes, it is a PITA, and sometimes you can get annoying sincronization issues (mostly on lab situations). Now I have been considering giving gnbd (with cs/gfs) a try. Do any of you ever crossed this path ? Any comparisons or comments ? TIA, - -- Rodrigo Barbosa "Quid

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Has anyone here had any experience with D-Link's quad-port ethernet NIC, model DFE-580TX ? The people from Mikrotik says it can cause systemwide lockup, but from what I have been reading around, this board seem to work ok. This is the only quad-port NIC I have found with a reasonable price, so I'm seriously considering using it. Comments ?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 As some of you might have noticed, CentOS 5 doesn't ship with hotplug (linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net). Things get handled directly by HAL, as far as I can tell. This is ok as long as you are using gnome/kde. However, on a TUI box, or when you are running another WM (I use IceWM here), you can't count o HAL. Actually, HAL (as shipped on CentOS

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Anyone else using CFS on CentOS 4.4 ? I have started using it today (unimportant stuff for now, for testing), and am wondering what are other people experiences with it. I'm using version 1.4.1, rpms kindly provided by Karan on his repository. My main concern is data loss, not security itself. From what I noticed, the strenght of CFS crypto is

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 There is a nasty bug on samba, up to 3.0.10, which causes Excel to incorrectly think a file was changes by someone else. This is a know issue, fixed on samba 3.0.11 (stock). A patch was also applied to samba on RHEL 3, but was NOT on RHEL 4. This patch (samba-3.0.9-excel.patch) will apply cleanly on samba-3.0.10-1.4E.9, and build without a glinch.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I would like to get add a new Wiki entry regarding Automounting with HAL for CentOS 5, since the behaviour is very different than CentOS 4. Main points: - - Making automounting hotpluggable devices work with other WMs - - Overriding the default mount point - - Overriding the default mount options (noexec etc) Small nightmare here to find out how

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Keywords: slmodem, linmodem, amr, slamr, winmodem Okey, just posting this for future reference, in case someone tries to search the list on this subject. To have slmodemd working on CentOS 4.1 (not sure about ver 4), all that is needed is to edit the file drivers/amrmo_init.c, replacing every instance of KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,10) to

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have seen a weird problem in one of my clients. The reported that when issuing a smbmount command (both client and server are CentOS 4.4), it would take up to 30 second for the mount to complete. To make a long history short, by using strace and the source, I noticed smbmnt is first calling mount() using ascii options for *data. Then that would

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have been trying to access my Nokia 6230 using a DKU-2 data cable from CentOS, with some weird results. Interesting thing is that I have VMWare installed on this machine and, if I install the Nokia Suite inside it, it can access the phone without problems. So all hardware related parts are working. Anyway, kernel load the cdc_acm module, and gives

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Okey, here is something interesting. So I finished downloading all CentOS 4.4 images (CDs and DVD) before anything else. Now I have the dvd iso mounted (-o loop), and changed CentOS-Base.repo so the [base] repo will point to it. # yum update Boom! Yum tries to use the [update] repository (not local) to upgrade to 4.4.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have so far avoided using the x86_64 distro, sticking to 32 bits on all my servers.
