nfs install : kernel panic
by Rénald Legendre 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

hello, i just downloaded centos 4.1 dvd iso through bittorrent, compared it with the md5 checksum (result ok), and burned the 5Mb iso boot file, in order to make a nfs networked install. my nfs server is on 192.168.0.6 and i did a mount of the iso to /mnt/centos, then inserted the boot cd in the to-be-installed server, did a "ok, your ip is 192.168.0.7, the nfs server is 192.168.0.6, and the directory is /mnt/centos/", but there is a kernel panic... can someone tell me if there is something wrong with this please ? i already tried ftp & http installs, but it tells me "ftp://192.168.0.6//mnt/centos/(...)/net2(...).sys don't exist" (remark the two // after the ip address, both in ftp & http installs. i tried to do mnt/centos but the installer told me "no!"). thanks, legendre renald

Hmmm, interesting. Normally if you don't have anything front of the ":", it assumes localhost. In your case, are you saying this didn't happen before when you have it an invalid hostname? Also, are you sure it's not DNS? Sometimes your local resolver automatically appends domainnames in your search. And some admins setup a "default" IN A record to be 127.0.0.1 on any lookup for a domain that doesn't properly resolve. I know that's kinda outside of your issue, but it's still something to check "just-in-case." Anyhoo, my typical "Golden Rule of Thumb" is to always export with the system name as part of the share. I find it avoids a lot of issues for myself, and it would in this case as well. I.e., only the system with the sharename that has the systemname could be mounted, and anything else would fail. Especially when it comes to systems with NFS automounts that host home directories that also share via Samba. I _avoid_ the default "homes" share, and explicitly setup a share that points to only an specific local path where user home directories could be located on that specific system. Now Samba does have good automounter support, and newer SMB has a DFS renaming approach, but it's still a nice option that works with any legacy setup (even when you have automounter and/or DFS in your Samba config). See page 1101 of "Appendix A" in "Samba Unleashed" on this -- as well as pages 1100-1102 for a general discussion of integration of NIS Automounter maps with Samba (non-DFS). It's circa 2000, but is still my recommended approach, even when Samba has been built with automounter and/or SMB DFS capability. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

Re: Hot swap CPU
by Bryan J. Smith <b.j.smith＠ieee.org> 29 Jun '05

29 Jun '05

From: Rodrigo Barbosa <rodrigob(a)suespammers.org> > Memory hotswap ? Sounds fishy to me, at least on IA32{,e} > platforms. Are you sure about that ? Yes. They are proprietary NUMA implementations of both IA-32 Xeon and IA-64 Itanium that allow all sorts of swapping, largley via a daughtercard (i.e., the memory comes out with the CPU on a single board). In reality, this is really an area where Blades are more manageable for far less cost though. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

autofs handling of nis maps - Centos4
by Hilliard, Jay 29 Jun '05

29 Jun '05

I have the following nis map (auto.facvs) * -vers=3 &:/disk1 Which allows hosts that have /disk1 exported to be mounted to /facvs/$hostname It works fine, but on Centos4, it allows me to cd /facvs/foo (where foo isn't a real host out there) I find it has mounted my local /disk1 as /facvs/foo. It seems to be ignoring the key in the map pertaining to the host if it's not a valid host. Does anyone know of a way to make it restrictive again and fail the mount if the hostname match isn't valid? -- Jay Hilliard Sr. Systems Administrator Disney Feature Animation
