How does paid RHN access work for Fedora Linux
by Yusuf Goolamabbas 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

Some questions, hope this in on topic for this list Assume, I have an existing RHN subscription for my RH Linux (US$ 60/year). Would this continue to be applicable for Fedora Linux ? Since yum can work with multiple repositories, would RHN encompass multiple repositories Would I get guranteed access across all repositories ?

And there are _lots_ of countries without one. - There are people don't want support(web, mail, telephone,...) but they want to *pay* only for maintenance(updates) - Like other mail said, RHEL is too much expensive for .edu, .org -- Menos samba e mais traballar

Fedora Legacy
by Jesse Keating 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

Is there a separate discussion list for the Fedora Legacy[1] project? I'd like to get the ball rolling on getting this project off the ground to make Fedora a viable option for IHVs[2] and .edus. I know there are quite a few of us on this list that would like to start working toward a running project. [1]: The Fedora Legacy project is a project to continue rolling errata for older Fedora Core and Red Hat releases. [2]: IHV == Independent Hardware Vendor -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE http://geek.j2solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (http://www.microwerks.net/~hugo/) Was I helpful?

Kernel eating memory, ends up trashing
by Dag Wieers 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

Hi, On August 8 I added a bugreport for a machine that trashes aprox. every 2 weeks because of the kernel eating memory. You can find it here: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=97546 I've also made some graphs available together with some command output that clearly show it is a kernel problem: http://dag.wieers.com/rmon-breeg-io-3months-800x120.png http://dag.wieers.com/rmon-breeg-kernel-3months-800x120.png http://dag.wieers.com/rmon-breeg-load-3months-800x120.png http://dag.wieers.com/rmon-breeg-paging-3months-800x120.png http://dag.wieers.com/rmon-breeg-swap-3months-800x120.png http://dag.wieers.com/rmon-breeg-mem-3months-800x120.png The behaviour of the system has been like this since I installed RH9 (kernel 2.4.20-8) and newer kernels (2.4.20-18.9, 2.4.20-19.9 and 2.4.20-20.9) and continues to act like this ;( I know at least 2 other persons that have the same problems (on different machines with a similar workload/functionality) so it seems to be a bug in the kernel on a particular use of the VM. Anyone else noticed something like this ? -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]

Interesting article on boot ordering
by David Hollis 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-boot.html Really interesting concept - using make to sort out the dependencies for startup and to run things in parallel when possible. With just a few moments of thinking about it, I could imagine a core Makefile that lists out the dependencies (lots of crap needs network, nfsd needs portmap, etc) and then each runlevel just defining a target that lists the services needed and including the core and voila! Certainly not exactly that simple but an interesting thought. Could also provide a means to solve the problem discussed recently about network interface ordering and doing things after their boot.

Hello, now that the red hat fedora project is more open to community, it's logical that the fedora.redhat.com web site will be translated, community is not only english speaking . How to contribute to the fedora web site translation ?

Configuration Tools
by Phillip Compton 23 Sep '03

23 Sep '03

http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/config-tools/ " Here is a list of tools that would be useful but do not exist yet: ... Firewall - configuration tool for IP Tables (something more finegrained than redhat-config-securitylevel) ..." Has anyone at RedHat looked into working with the firestarter (http://firestarter.sourceforge.net/) people? Package available for RH9 and Severn from fedora.us[1] Phil 1 until the merger is complete the naming confusion is going to be fun

RE: Fedora Project: Announcing New Direction

Hello. Does Fedora has its own logo that can be used freely? I'm thinking (future planning) of downloading Fedora, burning it into a shining new CD-R, put a nice CD label on it, and package it so that I can give it (or sell it) to my friend. Can Fedora use quote like "inspired by Red Hat" to give some link to Red Hat? "Michael K.

Re: Staying close to mainline and VM issues
by Yusuf Goolamabbas 23 Sep '03

23 Sep '03

Dave, Thanks for the response. When I tested severn (early in the cycle) it seemed fine for me (was using a non highmem) boxes. We are however seeing a lot of issues in Shrike,Valhalla,RH 8 with the 2.4.20-xx kernels on highmem boxes >1GB. I am going to try and setup a test box with >1GB and see how Phil K's script works out. Also, in recent 2.4.20-xx kernels, the values of /proc/sys/vm/{min,max}-readahead have changed to 3,31 from 31,127 respectively. On a box with a fast io system like SCSI/3ware, switching back to 31,127 doubles read speed as measured by hdparm -- If you're not using Firebird, you're not surfing the web you're suffering it http://www.mozilla.org/products/firebird/why/
