Lingering dhclient issue
by Alfred von Campe 23 Jun '11

23 Jun '11

I recently reconfigured some CentOS 4.3 systems that were using DHCP to use static IP addresses. At the same time, the systems were moved to a new VLAN. Here is the approximate sequence of events that took place: 1. ifdown eth0 2. edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 with static IP address 3. wait for network folks to reconfigure switch 4. ifup eth0 I may have reversed steps 1 and 2 on some of the systems. The problem was that the dhclient process didn't go away, and kept renewing the old lease. Our DHCP server is configured to contact the DNS server and update the entry for each host it serves. So the DNS entries for these systems were pointing to the old address in the old VLAN. The eth0 interface itself just kept the static IP address for which it was configured. It took me a while to figure out what was going on. My question is, what could I have done to avoid this (other than killing the dhclient process)? Is there a better way to reconfigure an interface to use a static address? I am not interested in solutions that involve using a GUI (i.e., only command line solutions). Thanks, Alfred

I have an old RHEL3 box that I am upgrading to CentOS5. I picked up a new Dell Poweredge R200 to use for that. Is there an easy way to copy all the user accounts and existing mail from the old server to the new one? Thanks. -- -=/>Thom

nspluginwrapper included in CentOS 5.2 fails completely
by MHR 18 Nov '08

18 Nov '08

I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. I run CentOS 5.2 x86_64 on my workstation at home. Since 5.2 came out with nepluginwrapper bundled into it, none of my plugins work. I thought it was just a problem with the flash plugin, but neither the mplayerplug-in plugins nor the adobe acrobat reader plugin work, either. I have this problem both with the Seamonkey contributed 64-bit build and my own (otherwise perfectly working) native build of the 2.01a pre-release trunk build (which I have been using since January, with occasional updates, the most recent being about a week ago). I have not tried going back to the 32-bit release of Seamonkey, although I suppose that's next. I stopped using that when it kept crashing when I tried to save a web page after having visited some unknown threshold level of pages (i.e., it wouldn't do this on the first or second web page, but somewhere down the line, a threshold was crossed and it would crash fairly regularly). In discussions with the Mozilla folks, I concluded that the problem had something to do with running the 32-bit release on my 64-bit OS. Due to some peculiarity in the 1.x Mozilla build process, I was never able to build a 64-bit version of the 1.x releases, but I had no trouble running the L&G not-yet-released revision, with occasional glitches from the bugs that I ran into (and reported). But, back to the point: There are two major issues I have with the 5.2 bundled nspluginwrapper: 1) The nspluginwrapper program itself is gone, which makes it a little (lot) harder to manage and troubleshoot the problems. and, more importantly: 2) None of the 32-bit plugins that are supposed to be wrapped work. Period. Is this something I should report in bugzilla, at CentOS (and upstream)? I didn't see it in the bugs listed at CentOS.org. Thanks. mhr

Reformatting a USB drive
by Todd Cary 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '08

I have a USB drive that has been formatted as NTFS. Can I reformat it? I have identified these properties about it /dev/sda1 /media/Extrnl_Bkup Not sure what to do next since the GUI will not mount a NTFS disk (expected). Todd -- Ariste Software 2200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

Dual video card, 1 monitor each (ref dual head) CentoS4.6 xorg does only 1 head
by William L. Maltby 09 Aug '08

09 Aug '08

I need to start running a dual head on one of my machines. Eventual target is CentOS 5.x. Decided to test first on my 4.6 setup (eventually it will achieve 5.x). Both machines are fully up to date. The test machine is 4.6, 2 radeon video cards. Searched the web, CentOS site, even bugzilla. This bugzilla entry from a 4.2 system), http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1875 had only a WFM response. I've attached a gzipped text file of pertinent information. Briefly, kudzu did the right thing when I installed the second card. System-config-display also behaved correctly. X start ok, but will only use one head at a time. Adding a second "BusID" so that both cards are explicitly addressed didn't help. When the 2 "BusID" entries are switched, the active screen doesn't move (it's always "Screen0") and the ignored screen ("Screen1") remains the same. The monitor attached to the video card for "Screen0" becomes the active one. Q1: Anyone have a two video card CentOS 4.6 setup working? Q2: Is it working in CentOS 5? Q3: Anyone see something I'm doing wrong? Suggestions? TIA, -- Bill

File system goes read-only once in a while
by Mufit Eribol 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

Hi, My Centos 5.2 server (5.1 suffered the same problem as well) has a logical volume on a RAID 10 array (4 SATA harddisks on a Highpoint RR2310 controller). /etc/fstab has an entry for this array as below /dev/raid_vg0/raid_lv0 /mnt/raid ext3 defaults 0 0 Normally it works OK. But, file system of "this volume" once in a while goes "read only" mode. The RAID software reports no problem with the hard disks. After reboot, the system comes back in normal rw mode. What could be the reason?. I would appreciate any help/hint. Thank you, Mufit
