Hello: I have a Supermicro SuperServer 5015P-TR. It has a Pentium D and is running CentOS x86_64. Can this machine use 8GB RAM? I think it should because it is running a 64 bit OS, but I am concerned because it is fundamentally 32 bit hardware. Anyone have any experience in this area?

Hello: On a CentOS5 machine I set up for a client, in /etc/aliases, I set root's mail to forward to my email address so I can get notices from cron, etc. Unfortunately, I am now getting a lot of spam which is sent to root at theservername.com How can I tell sendmail to not accept external email to root?

Hello: I am trying to set up user quotas on my /var partition to enforce limits on user's mailbox sizes. The machine is running CentOS 5. When I do this: /sbin/dumpe2fs /dev/md2 | grep 'Block size' Block size: 4096 That tells me the block size is 4k. But, if I do: repquota /var It is telling me that one of my users is currently using 10264 blocks. But, if I look at

Hello: I booted from the CentOS 4.4 CD. I am trying to mount the partitions on the hard drive of the physical machine (Fedora Core). I did: mkdir /mnt/hda1 chmod 755 /mnt/hda1 mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 I get back: mount: /dev/hda1 already mounted or /mnt/hda1 busy I checked with df. I don't see hda1 anywhere.

Hello: I have a server set up a CentOS 5 server for a client to push files onto using FTP. I have a cron job to process the files and move them to another directory. Sometimes, the cron job executes while the client is still uploading a file (Some of them can be large) and I get a partial file. Is there a way to tell when a file has finished uploading? I am using the vsftpd daemon installed

Hello: I have a machine running CentOS 5.2 I added two IP addresses to eth0 by copying /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:1 and changing the relevant IP info. I am now seeing outbound connections failing at my firewall from services like NTP, etc. since they are now using a source address from one

Hello: I have a machine running CentOS 5 x86_64. It is running apache httpd and tomcat. For some reason, after running for a few days, web requests stop responding. It happened again this morning. I check the syslog and see a HUGE number of logs like this: OUTPUT IN= OUT=eth0 SRC=[MyIP] DST=[OutsideIP] LEN=532 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=52669 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=80 DPT=54697 WINDOW=61

Here's a thought: what about doing an lsof? If a file is still being written by ftpd it should be open for writing.

Hello: I have a server running CentOS 4.4. I just did a yum update and then rebooted the server. After the reboot, it stops after printing GRUB on the screen. Any ideas what happened?

Hello: I tried this command to tar up a set of data files updated since yesterday (The data directory contains multiple files with varying dates): /bin/tar -z -c -N 2009-03-25 -f /tmp/test.tgz data When I look at the content of the test.tgz file, it looks like it copied the content of the entire directory, not just the newer files. I am on CentOS 5. Any ideas? Thanks, Neil -- Neil

Hello: I have a subversion repository set up in /usr/local/svn/MyProject. For security, I have that directory set to apache as the owner and group and all files are mode 700. I need to run a svnsync command as the apache user so it may write to the repository. I tried this command: su apache -c "/usr/bin/svnsync sync https://svn2.jammconsulting.com/svn/MyProject" But I get this

Hello: I tried posting this to the subversion mailing list, but that does not seem to be taking the post so I am hoping this list can help. I am using svnsync installed using yum on my CentOS 5 server. I am trying to tell the sync command to save the certificates and credentials in a directory, but it does not seem to be doing so. I created a directory /usr/local/svn/MyProject.config To run

Hello: When I installed CentOS 4.4 (from the ServerCD) on my server, I told it not to install a firewall and I disabled SELinux. The server is a SuperMicro 5015P-TR. I set up my own /etc/init.d/firewall with these rules: #!/bin/sh # Firewall script # # Source function library . /etc/init.d/functions RETVAL=0 # Some definitions (Will need to change ETH0_IP to match your configuration)

Just to chime in here, what I use is another file that is transferred last. It can be zero sized. Just some name you look for and then delete when you are done for next time. It doesn't matter how long that one takes because you will know that the important files are already transferred. chuck -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at

Hello: I tried to unsuccessfully install a guest on xen. It failed when it tried to connect to the display since I installed the OS without a graphical environment. When I do an xm list, I do not see the guest, but if I try to do virt-install with the same guest name, it tells me the domain already exists. I tried xm delete on the domain but that also tells me the domain does not exist. Any

Ok this is kind of a goofy question but I want to make sure I get it right. Suppose we have a 25 mb video, that is 117 seconds long. If we wish for this streaming video to play smoothly with no compression, buffering or skipping, the following bandwidth requirements must be met: 25 megabytes = 204800 kilobits. 204800 kb / 117 seconds ~ 1750kb/s Does that look right to you?
