Hello there I have been trying to install HP Storageworks DAT72 on CentOS 5 in vain. On system reboot, neither /dev/st not /dev/sg is available. May you please lead me through as this is my first time trying to do it lsmod Module Size Used by ipv6 267617 40 xfrm_nalgo 13381 1 ipv6 crypto_api 12609 1 xfrm_nalgo autofs4

Hi, I have one KVM instance (centos 5) that keeps crashing and i see the message log with the following: Oct 14 16:24:48 localhost kernel: psmouse.c: Explorer Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 1 bytes away.

I recently updated to OpenOffice 3.2 and I noticed that it, and the latest Evolution, seem to be incredibly slow for some operations. E.g., in OO, about half the time when I'm editing something, it takes anywhere from 10-30 seconds for OO to respond to a click on one of the icons or menu items, and Evo is taking forever to format messages. During these times the gnome-system-monitor icon on

Everyone, about 4 years ago, I tried to install CentOS 6 on a Supermicro server with SCSI drives using a LSI raid system. I could never figure out or find a way to make the installation disc of Centos 6 identify the SCSI drives. The installation disc for Centos 5 identified the SCSI drives without a problem. I finally gave up on Centos 6 and installed Centos 5 and the system has worked very

Hello, I'm compiling a collection of stories from the systems administrator trenches. They can be short or long, funny or about a particularly challenging problem or period, or even something that appeared very technically challenging and ended up being something very simple. Stories which are more political would be ok so long as they do not have an agenda or can be interpreted as a

Hi. We have another leap second coming. Have past bugs with Centos and leap seconds (specifically high CPU spikes) been resolved? Should we be worried? -G

Hello, ? I have a Cologne Chip Designs GmbH ISDN network Controller [HFC-4S] card which seems to work on 1 machine but not on another.

Good morning/day and Happy New Year. We have a geographically distributed environment (marketing speak: cloud) where we regularly need to migrate individual systems to new hardware (for bigger disks or for better geographical placement, for example). We currently use Cobbler to do our base installs automatically and I am now looking at integrating Clonezilla with Cobbler. The goal is take an

Is anyone working on Nagios 3.x RPMs? If not, perhaps I'll whip some up and submit them to some appropriate repository. Geoff Galitz Blankenheim NRW, Deutschland http://www.galitz.org

Hallo, today I had a surprising situation. Exim stopped. It's a German centos 5.3 64 Bit installation so the messages are partial in German. Then I tried a restart: [root at centos ~]# service exim restart exim beenden: [FEHLGESCHLAGEN] exim starten: /bin/bash: line 1: 6596 Die maximale Dateigr??e ist ?berschritten

Are folks in the Centos community succesfully using device-mapper-multipath? I am looking to deploy it for error handling on our iSCSI setup but there seems to be little traffic about this package on the Centos forums, as far as I can tell, and there seems to be a number of small issues based on my reading the dm-multipath developer lists and related resources. -geoff Geoff Galitz Blankenheim

Hi all, I want to map an NFS share from a remote server to a local CentOS 5.4 server, but have a problem with portmap: root at mercury:[~]$ service portmap restart pmap_getmaps rpc problem: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection reset by peer Stopping portmap: [FAILED] Starting portmap: [ OK ] root at

Hello, We are testing the Centos LDAP Directory Server but are running into issues with applications (SOGo) authenticating against the LDAP system. The crux of my question is, can I just treat the Centos Directory Server as a generic OpenLDAP configuration on the client side? In more detail when I try to add account via ldapadd: -------------------------------- ldapadd -f sogo.ldif -x -W -D

I'm looking at using GFS for parallel access to shared storage, most likely an iSCSI resource. It will most likely work just fine but I am curious if folks are using anything with fewer system requisites (e.g. installing and configuring the Cluster Suite). Specifically to our case, we have 50 nodes running in-house code (some in Java, some in C) which (among other things) receives JPGs,

Hi, I eventually installed three Debian unstable machines, so I could install the GlusterFS 3.3 beta3. I have a question about the self-heal daemon. I'm trying to get a volume which is replicated, with two bricks. I started up the volume, wrote some data, then killed one machine, and then wrote more data to a few folders from the client machine. Then I restarted the second brick server.

Hello, We have a few systems where udevd seems to failing silently on Opteron based Centos 4 boxes. Has anyone else seen this? -geoff

Hello, is there a security issue on CentOS 5.3 with openssh 4.3? I ask that cause of http://www.h-online.com/security/Rumours-of-critical-vulnerability-in-OpenSSH-in-Red-Hat-Enterprise-Linux--/news/113712 and http://secer.org/hacktools/0day-openssh-remote-exploit.html. Should ssh login from internet on CentOS better be disabled? regards Olaf

Greetings, Is there a centos repo with mysql workbench anywhere. In the same vein, is there a publicly available build system for centos where people can submit the source tar.gz and get hotly baked rpm and the icing would be with some way to resolve dependencies?? It would be great to have one.. Regards and thanks, Rajagopal

Hi, is there a way / software to find out which security patches my different CentOS systems are missing? Maybe with the according CESA announcement displayed? TIA, Frank.
