ovirt-engine package for oVirt 4.1.x
by C. L. Martinez 16 May '18

16 May '18

Hi all, I am trying to install oVirt 4.1.x from centos repos but it seems ovirt-engine doesn't exists. But instead, ovirt-hosted-engine-setup exists? Is ovirt-engine package removed? In official oVirt repos, exists. Thanks.

4.4.4-26 with XSA-226, 227, 230 in centos-virt-testing
by Kevin Stange 28 Nov '17

28 Nov '17

Xen 4.4.4 along with kernel 4.9.44 containing patches for XSAs (226 - 230) from August 15th are now available in centos-virt-testing. If possible, please test and provide feedback here so we can move these to release soon. XSA-228 did not affect Xen 4.4 XSA-229 only applies to the kernel XSA-235 disclosed today only affects ARM and isn't going to be added to these packages. Thanks. -- Kevin Stange Chief Technology Officer Steadfast | Managed Infrastructure, Datacenter and Cloud Services 800 S Wells, Suite 190 | Chicago, IL 60607 312.602.2689 X203 | Fax: 312.602.2688 kevin(a)steadfast.net | www.steadfast.net

Crash in CentOS 7 kernel-3.10.0-514.16.1.el7.x86_64 in Xen PV mode
by Sarah Newman 24 Oct '17

24 Oct '17

I experienced a bug that is likely the same as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1350373 . Commit b7dd0e350e0bd4c0fddcc9b8958342700b00b168 , which is supposed to fix it, doesn't appear in this kernel and doesn't apply cleanly either. Is there any point in trying to backport the patch? The backtrace is as follows: [ 32.304666] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 32.304679] kernel BUG at arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c:252!

Status of reverted Linux patch "tty: Fix ldisc crash on reopened tty", Linux 4.9 kernel frequent crashes
by Pasi Kärkkäinen 20 Sep '17

20 Sep '17

Hello everyone, Recently Nathan March reported on centos-virt list he's getting frequent Linux kernel crashes with Linux 4.9 LTS kernel because of the missing patch "tty: Fix ldisc crash on reopened tty". The patch was already merged upstream here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?… but then reverted here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?… Nathan confirmed if he applies the patch from 71472fa9c52b1da27663c275d416d8654b905f05 to his Linux 4.9 LTS kernel the bug/problem goes away, so the patch (or similar fix) is still needed, at least for 4.9 LTS kernel. Mikulas reported he's able to trigger the same crash on Linux 4.10: https://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg2440637.html https://lists.gt.net/linux/kernel/2664604?search_string=ldisc%20reopened;#2… Michael Neuling reported he's able to trigger the bug on PowerPC: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/10/1582 So now the question is.. is anyone currently working on getting this patch fixed and applied upstream? I think one of the problems earlier was being able to reliable reproduce the crash.. Nathan says he's able to reproduce it many times per week on his environment on x86_64. Thanks a lot, -- Pasi

Major stability problems with xen 4.6.6
by Nathan March 29 Aug '17

29 Aug '17

Hi, I'm seeing numerous crashes on the xen 4.6.6-1 / 4.6.6-2 releases, on both the 4.9.34-29 and 4.9.39-29 kernels. I've attached a txt with two different servers outputs. Xen-028: This crashed this morning while running 4.6.6-1 and 4.9.39-29 Xen-001: This crashed shortly after being upgraded to 4.6.6-2 and 4.9.34-29 Both are on different hardware platforms, and have had a long history of being stable until these upgrades. It sounds potentially related to https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-unstabl e/+/9ce119f318ba1a07c29149301f1544b6c4bea52a%5E%21/ but I've confirmed this patch is in the above kernels. Any suggestions / thoughts? Cheers, Nathan

Copying CentOS AMIs for EBS encryption
by Andrew Hodgson 08 Aug '17

08 Aug '17

Hi, I am trying to copy the latest CentOS image to my own AWS account so that I can enable EBS volume encryption. It currently looks like the option when sharing the image is not enabled to allow direct copying of the snapshots, and I am wondering if this could be looked at? I can start an instance with this AMI, then create a new snapshot for the purpose of enabling EBS volume encryption, but I want to keep the image as clean as possible, and am worried if I run the image then some scripts will get ran that will customise the image with keys etc. If there is a better way to do this then happy to discuss. Thanks, Andrew.
