I was missing some bleeding-edge packages, and while I was able to find the RPM packages, I was unable to find the repo path. So, thanks to this post, I was able to use it. This will probably break my Linux, so I will use it in a test environment first.
The repo file would look like this:
[koji]
name=Koji $basearch
baseurl=https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/repos/rawhide/latest/$basearch/
enabled=0
#metadata_expire=60m

Kickstart is a great method of hands-free installation of RHEL/Centos (and other derived systems). Its power is in its easy interface and rather powerful %post scripting directives. Its weakness is in its lack of flexibility where it comes to package selection and various custom actions. On some cases, companies use web interface (usually home-made) which…
The trick is simple, and many of those who deal with HA cluster get at least once to such a setup – have HA cluster without HA. Yep. Single node, just to make sure you know how to get this system to play. I have just completed it with Linux Heartbeat, and wish to share…

The home network should have full access to everything, while the guest network should be able to reach the Internet, but nothing else. I have Asus RT-AC87U, which is a fine router, but…

One of them is related to BackupExec. The service would not start on OEL6 with UEK kernels. The cause of it is an incorrect use of…
Performance tuning is a sort of art. You know what you expect to reach, and you somehow strive towards that through selective tuning. Either your OS memory utilization, your network settings, NFS mount parameters, etc. I’ve been to a customer who’s server acted funny. First, it had high load average – for an idle server…
There is a major confusion among DBAs regarding how to setup raw devices for Oracle RAC or Oracle Clusterware. This confusion is caused by the turn RedHat took in how to define raw devices. Raw devices are actually a manifestation of character devices pointing to block devices. Character devices are non-buffered, so they act as…
