Lingering dhclient issue
by Alfred von Campe 22 Jun '11

22 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

In CentOS 4.1/2, what package contains this library: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3? I installed a couple of the compat- packages, but this library is still missing.

Don't forget to use torrents for your downloads!
by William L. Maltby 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

For those who may forget, usin torrents to download and share the new images will get you faster downloads (if enough folks participate) if you have a "fat" pipe and alleviate the load on the CentOS servers. I have a "chubby" pipe (~ 1.2MB/sec) and got the stuff really quickly earlier today. If your torrent has distributed hash table capability, I suggest that you also use that feature. Happy sharing! -- Bill

stock openjdk vs. epel
by Les Mikesell 07 Jan '10

07 Jan '10

If you have the epel repo installed and enabled during a yum update, you get java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.0.b12.el5.2 instead of the stock .b09 version. Is this intentional and desirable? I thought epel generally did not replace stock components with newer versions. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

relatime in plus kernel
by Yuji Tsuchimoto 01 Nov '09

01 Nov '09

Dear CentOS lovers, Is someone interested in the linux-2.6-smarter-relatime.patch for centosplus kernel? This patch solves disk I/O performance dramatically on servers, And recent distributions (fedora9 and later, etc.) and official kernel applies it. RHEL6 may include it, but RHEL5 is not. How about the linux-2.6-smarter-relatime.patch? Best Regards, Yuji

Re: [CentOS] using Linux as a NAS / SAN device

I think many dedicated NAS devices, are in fact Linux machines, using an embedded Linux system. -- Just a word of caution. I had a simarly question: building one self, or buyding dedicated hw. Looked through several specs of different boxes, and decided for an ICY-box, that can hold two sata-disks, raid0/raid1/jbod, has an GB-ethernet interface and capable of doing NFS. (which is actually an Linux-box) However, the box is as slow as a proverbial civil-servant, although the link is realy set to GB, it just might as well have been 100MB. And even that its not capable of filling to the max. (60Mb) Found out (afterwards ;-) on the relevant product mailing lists that it's the max the box can do. hans ______________________________________________________________________ Dit bericht kan informatie bevatten die niet voor u is bestemd.

cups / cli stopped print jobs problem
by Blackburn, Marvin 13 Sep '09

13 Sep '09

On occasion, we get a printer that becomes disabled, and jobs begin to queue up. When the issue is resolved, we re-enable the printer and usually all the jobs print out. However, sometimes the first job never prints, but the others do. The cups interface shows the job is stopped. IfI restart the job in the cups interface, it prints. Is there a way to determine, via the command line, if a print job is in the stopped state, or a queue has jobs in this state. Also, is there a way to restart the job if its stopped. We are running centos 5.3 and cups 1.3.7. Any help would be appreciated. _____________________________________ "He's no failure. He's not dead yet." William Lloyd George

Supermicro Adaptec AIC-9410 HostRAID controller
by Kurt Newman 12 Sep '09

12 Sep '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 1) Has anyone been able to get their AIC-9410 controller recognized in CentOS 5.3? I'm working with a Supermicro X7DBR-3 motherboard. It has 2 "ICH Raid Codebase" options in the Bios (Intel and Adaptec); neither of which seem to change Linux's behavior. The interesting part though, choosing either Adaptec or Intel, then performing an 'lspci' always displays "Intel Corp 631xESP/632xESP SATA RAID Controller (rev 09)". I've seen several people post on a variety of mailing lists (typically using older CentOS revisions), but it doesn't appear many were successful. It seems most swap to software raid. 2) When using this internal host raid controller, shouldn't the raided devices appear as a single device like other traditional scsi controllers? Regardless of the raid options I choose, Linux still continues to see both drives (/dev/sda and /dev/sdb). Is this a function of being 'HostRAID'? 3) If you've been able to get it to work, which driver did you use? Thus far, I've tried 2 drivers. 1st driver: adpahci -- Unsuccessful I downloaded it from supermicro's website. ftp.supermicro.com/driver/SATA/Adaptec_ESB2/Linux/Redhat/adpahci.rhel5.i686… After successfully loading the image and inserting the module using kickstart, nothing useful happens, other than several /sys entries added. (NOTE: I had to change the internal cpio archive pathing from `2.6.18-8.el5' to `2.6.18-128.el5'). 2nd driver: aic94xx -- Unsuccessful The driver is built-in via a patch to the Redhat stock kernel. Other than saying that it's loaded, it also does nothing useful outside of /sys entries. Several mailing lists and documents pointed to using the 'attach_HostRAID' option, however, it doesn't exist. Using this option with `insmod' (or modprobe) fails. 3rd driver: adp94xx -- In the works I downloaded this driver from Adaptec's website: http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/speed/sas/linux/adp94xx-1_0_8-12_src_tgz.htm So far, I'm not able to get it to compile because I'm trying to create a patch file so that it incorporates all of the contents of the tarball. Any ideas on where to go from here? I'd really like to avoid software raid.
