Getting there faster
by Karanbir Singh 10 Nov '13

10 Nov '13

hi Guys One of the key problems we need to solve / resolve and do so with some level of urgency is the mirror problem : How do we get content 'out there' fast enough to reduce the time-to-release lag. Typically, from the time everything is ready to go and the release notes / release email are done, it takes 3 days to get to a releaseable stage for the mirror network. The rsync tree that we are using at this point is clearly not good-enough ( either because of how we use it, or because of what it is and how it works ). Also, release time activity and how donors react to them makes it tricky to rely on specific nodes - something we really need to get to in order to improve the rsync tree cascading setup we have in place. Thoughts, ideas ? Discuss! - KB -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

ssh block bug in CentOS 6.4
by jupiter 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

Hi, I have recently found a problem of randomly being blocked by ssh connection to a 64 bit CentOS 6.4 virtual machine, the dmesg shown following error: .......... INFO: task gnome-settings-:16976 blocked for more than 120 seconds. "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. gnome-setting D 0000000000000000 0 16976 1 0x00000080 ffff8800dc3e5dd8 0000000000000082 0000000000000000 ffff8800be54faf0 ffff8800dc3e5d98 ffff8800daf07540 ffff8800daf07540 ffff8800daf07540 ffff8800daf07af8 ffff8800dc3e5fd8 000000000000fb88 ffff8800daf07af8 Call Trace: [<ffffffff811a1bc0>] ? mntput_no_expire+0x30/0x110 [<ffffffff8150efbe>] __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x13e/0x180 [<ffffffff8150ee5b>] mutex_lock+0x2b/0x50 [<ffffffff8118e890>] lookup_create+0x30/0xd0 [<ffffffff81192589>] sys_symlinkat+0x99/0x120 [<ffffffff81186b4e>] ? vfs_lstat+0x1e/0x20 [<ffffffff81186b74>] ? sys_newlstat+0x24/0x50 [<ffffffff810dc8f7>] ? audit_syscall_entry+0x1d7/0x200 [<ffffffff81192626>] sys_symlink+0x16/0x20 [<ffffffff8100b072>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b -------- Searched from Internet and found similar bug report for Fedora 19 declared the issue to a blocker. It seems to me that the bug I encountered is the same in Fedora 19. While Fedora has a workaround patch, I am not clear if that bug has been reported to CentOS dev and if you have a patch as well? Please advice and update. Thank you. Kind regards, jupiter

Current gdm update without initscripts update on CentOS 5
by Simon Matter 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Hi, The current gdm update https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013-1213.html comes with an updated initscripts package. Currently a CentOS 5 gets the gdm update but not the initscripts package. Isn't it dangerous for those running with X because gdm doesn't create /tmp/.X11-unix anymore and the new initscripts, which creates it now, is not already available? Regards, Simon

Kernel bug fix that restores SSD performance -- testing sought
by Akemi Yagi 03 Sep '13

03 Sep '13

According to this bug report: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=6548 (originally from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=642729 ) a patch introduced in kernel 2.6.32 causes a performance drop in [certain] SSDs. This patch was later reverted in the mainline kernel. With this kernel, the reporter says, the SSD performance is now what is expected from the spec. I have built a centosplus kernel that has the referenced patch reverted. My limited test (using hdparm) did show some improvement with this kernel. kernel-ml from ELRepo (currently at 3.10.0-1.el6) gave a number similar to this plus kernel. http://people.centos.org/toracat/kernel/6/plus/bug6548/ Please test if you can and report back with your findings (good, bad, no diff ...). Note that the packages are not signed and are provided for testing purposes only. Thanks in advance for your input. Akemi / toracat

Sync-Up-summary august 14th 2013
by Christoph Galuschka 16 Aug '13

16 Aug '13

Hi, the major topics have been: - forummigration: so far on test instances looking good, import work mostly completed, some DB and VM tuning still to do. A dedicated eMail will be setup to get in contact with in case of outdated email-accounts. Current ETA for the new forum in september. - blog: will be depending in the site move - t_functional: some more tests and fixes made their way into git over the last few weeks. Most instability issues with the tests are from various network related issues. freeipa tests will only use on VM, so no further outside dependency. I hope I didn't miss anything important. cheers Christoph

Notes from the first Sync up 2013-July-24
by Karanbir Singh 26 Jul '13

26 Jul '13

Hi, ci.dev.centos.org: - run through pending merges ( tigalch / athmane ) - do the reimzul integration ( kb ) - nightly tests, esure they are robust enough to rely on --- tests already running nightly --- monitor for another 2 weeks, then look at flaky / shallow tests --- promote publicly, make noise around it - ensure tests are running with latest kernel, reboot needed, this is already being done ( tigalch ) - ensure backups in place for everything ( kb / athmane ) - get a private git repo for puppet / opennebula content ( kb ) Website: - migrate the site to a more reliable host, with more resources while we wait for the new design work to complete ( kb ) - setup a blog / story interface - test-migrate the forums to phpbb ( TrevorH1 / KB ) --- ensure a bunch of people have access to play with the entire forums content, migrated - not just 1 forum as we had done in the past --- write a url redictor from old-url to new-url ( kb ) VIP Program - use name 'Friends' represented as 'Friends of CentOS' - centos.org/Friends and centos.org/Friends/<person> urls for aggregated and person specific content - domain to be used for email / contact TBD ( but not .centos.org ) - Bootstrap resources on Google's compute engine ( pending physical hardware allocation from .centos.org pool ) ( Phibs / Tigalch ) Dojos: - keep them coming --- Bucharest + Madrid + Edinburgh confirmed --- Houston most likely ( but not confirmed ) The next CentOS Syncup is scheduled for 31st July 16:00 UTC in #centos-devel, if there is anything you want to bring up : either as something you want to do, or something you think needs to be done ( even if you are unable to actually do it ) then please come along and raise the issue. If you are unable to make it, please email either me or Christoph in advance along with notes, and we will make sure the issue is raised and discussed during the session.
