General ?: GFS & Clustering support in CentOS 4.x
by Akbar S. Ahmed 13 Nov '05

13 Nov '05

Hi, Does CentOS 4.x support GFS & clustering? I noticed the package in the 3.x tree, but cannot locate it in any of the 4.x trees. I thought it does, but I cannot locate the packages. If it does support GFS and clustering, which packages are required and where are they located? Thanks in advance, Akbar

Unable to start Firefox/Mozilla after yum updates
by slaton 12 Nov '05

12 Nov '05

Since installing the latest yum updates a couple of days ago, I'm unable to start Firefox or Mozilla. Both fail silently with no messages printed to console. This is a 32-bit dual Xeon box running Centos 4.2. Here's what i've tried so far. - uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and mozilla packages with yum. - deleted my mozilla preferences (~/.mozilla) in case of a corrupted profile. - running as root. only difference is now mozilla segfaults instead of failing silently. - setting debug options in the firefox and mozilla startup scripts ("set -x"). the debug output looks identical to another machine I have on which firefox works, so this is no help. - checked system logs. Anyone with more knowledge of firefox/moz know what could cause a silent failure like this? I can provide debug output if needed, but I didn't see anything useful in it. Thanks. slaton

X0.hosts
by Sam Drinkard 12 Nov '05

12 Nov '05

Does the file X0.hosts exist somewhere on a CentOS system ? I sure can't locate it, but when I add a host to the tables, it shows up. Perhaps it's not called X0.hosts as per the manpage ? -- Snowman

2.6.9-22.EL.src.rpm
by Craig White 12 Nov '05

I can locate kernel-2.6.9-22.EL.src.rpm but cannot locate kernel-2.6.9-22.0.1.EL.src.rpm Is that because they are the same but just had different build options? Craig -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Rebuilding RPMs
by Bowie Bailey 12 Nov '05

12 Nov '05

I am trying to install the Cluster RPMS from rpm.karan.org. But since I have updated my kernel with yum, I have the wrong kernel for a couple of the packages. # rpm -i --test cman-kernel-smp-2.6.9-36.0.i686.rpm error: Failed dependencies: /lib/modules/2.6.9-11.ELsmp is needed by cman-kernel-smp-2.6.9-36.0.i686 kernel-smp = 2.6.9-11.EL is needed by cman-kernel-smp-2.6.9-36.0.i686 # uname -a Linux bnofdnbackup.buc.com 2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Oct 27 13:14:25 CDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I think I can just grab the source RPM and do a rebuild, but having never attempted that before, I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything. (I have built RPMs from source tarballs, so I know how to setup the build environment) It looks like I can just do this: # rpmbuild --rebuild cman-kernel-2.6.9-36.0.src.rpm Is there anything else I need to do?

alsa asound.conf or .asoundrc that combines multiple playback and capture
by Jerry Geis 12 Nov '05

12 Nov '05

I have searched all around and combined items in an /etc/asound.conf file to have by default a capture and multiple playback for alsa. I am looking for a way to: something like "aplay --nonblock test.wav" having at least 2 active one time and at that same time do "arecord --nonblock -d 1 input.wav" I have something like: pcm.!dmixer { type dmix # plugin type ipc_key 5678293 # unique ipc id ipc_perm 0666 # would like to use icp_group instead ipc_key_add_uid no # share the same mixer with all users slave { pcm "hw:0,0" period_time 0 # needed by oss (= 0) period_size 1024 # needed by oss (= 2^n) period_size 8192 # needed by oss (= 2^n) format S16_LE rate 48000 } } pcm.!dsnoop { type dsnoop # plugin type ipc_key 5678293 # unique ipc id ipc_perm 0666 # would like to use icp_group instead ipc_key_add_uid no # share the same mixer with all users slave { pcm "hw:1,0" period_time 0 # needed by oss (= 0) period_size 1024 # needed by oss (= 2^n) period_size 8192 # needed by oss (= 2^n) format S16_LE rate 48000 } } That sort of works. However when playing a wav file and recording sometimes I get record overrun errors and then the "-d1" does NOT stop after 1 second. Does anyone have a working mulitple playback and capture asound.conf file???? Thanks for sharing if you do. Jerry

High availability www+mysql
by Ugo Bellavance 11 Nov '05

11 Nov '05

Hi, I have one physical server (server1 - CentOS 4) and one vmware (server2 - CentOS running in a VM under Windows 2003). I'm running PHP/MySQL webapps on it. I want to be sure there is a failover, but I don't really need load balancing for now. I run php/mysql/apache with the binaries that comes with CentOS 4. I have installed heartbeat on both and set MySQL replication so that when server1 fails, server2 takes the requests. Heartbeat signal is going through the same NIC than regular traffic, but I'll check if I can set serial port or another NIC for that. Might be more difficult with VMWare and my service isn't that critical. Now, if server1 is unavailable, server2 takes over. It should have a current copy of the database because of the replication and the files are rsynced frequently (php). I configured heartbeat so that server1 doesn't take over if it comes back up, since it won't have a current copy of the DB. I'm not sure if I can (and if it is hard to configure) do a multiple master config with MySQL 4.1 and I'm not sure if MySQL cluster is an appropriate solution either. I looked at DRDB, but I think I would have to resize my partitions, so this is less tempting. I'd like to have opinions about my setup and how I could improve it, or test it. The logs issue is a concern, but not that much. I can live without accurate stats for the time I take to get server1 back online. TIA, Ugo
