snapshots of server state with F/OSS software
by Rogelio 25 Nov '07

25 Nov '07

I'm looking for something (ideally) in the CentOS repo that lets me easily take and restore snapshots of my system while powered on (similar to how later versions of Norton Ghost work). Is LVM my best bet to do this? (I hate to admit this, but up to this point when I've been in a pinch, I've just powered the box down on off hours and then imaged it via some sort of live cd)

stuck process continues under strace
by Jure Pečar 24 Nov '07

24 Nov '07

Hello, I have a few VPSes with centos5 on which I expirience a strange phenomen: Every now and then a random network communicating process (lynx, sendmail, httpd, ...) starts eating 100% of cpu while doing nothing. That slows down a VPS a lot. When examined with lsof, all of such processes have at least one tcp connection in close_wait state. Touching such process with strace -p makes it spring back to life and it goes on working normaly. Sendmail straces are specialy interesting, because I can see it wants to continue smtp dialogue somewhere from the middle. I suspect the cpu usage I see is the process trying to read from tcp socket to which the other end has nothing more to write. But as this is not happening in userspace (where I would see recv() in strace output), I expect the problem lies higher, in virtuozzo. I would like to be able to understand what is going on and maybe be able to reproduce the problem, but I don't have enough understanding of what exactly goes on. Specifically, what does strace do to a process that knocks it out of the cpu consuming loop? I'd be happy if you can give me some pointers. -- Jure Pečar http://jure.pecar.org/

Team CentOS breaks though the 200 ranking barrier.
by Sharon Kimble 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

Congratulations to all the CentOS folding@home team members for breaking through the 200 world ranking barrier. Its taken a bit of time but we've all helped to do it. Our next target is obviously to achieve 150th in the world ranking. But, to help achieve that we're going to need more members and more machines. So, if you think it sounds interesting and you want to learn more, then please have a look at http://www.sharons.org.uk/cf.html or ask in #centos-social on irc, or in the usual mailing list. Theres always someone on hand to advise or to point you in the direction of someone who could possibly help. Thanks everybody, and full steam ahead to the next target! :) Sharon. -- 14:20:05 up 9 days, 21:44, 2 users, load average: 2.89, 1.72, 1.62 A taste of linux http://www.sharons.org.uk/taste/index.html efever http://www.efever.blogspot.com/ Centos 4.4, KDE 3.5.4-6.0, OpenOffice 2.0.3 Registered Linux user 334501 Get my public GnuPG key from http://keyserver.veridis.com:11371/export?id=6499064243027013735

Port 631 closed, not hidden
by Miark 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

I have the firewall turned on my CentOS 5 box, but GRC is reporting that 631 is closed instead of stealthed. If the firewall isn't configured to allow that, then why might that be happening? Miark

Bugzilla Install problems - need last mile help
by Scott Ehrlich 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

I've freshly installed CentOS 5 32-bit on a pc, performed a yum update and yum upgrade. I then did a yum install of mysql. I finally picked up fresh copies of phpmysql and bugzilla and put both in my /var/www/html directory. mysql is running. I am able to use mysql -u root to get into it, and phpmysql is able to get it, too. After runs of checksetup.pl to ensure all required pre-requisites were installed, I ran it one more time, and get the following: Creating database bugs... The 'bugs' database could not be created. The error returned was: Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'bugs' This might have several reasons: * MySQL is not running. * MySQL is running, but there is a problem either in the server configuration or the database access rights. Read the Bugzilla Guide in the doc directory. The section about database configuration should help. * Your password for the 'bugs' user, specified in $db_pass, is incorrect, in './localconfig'. * There is a subtle problem with Perl, DBI, or MySQL. Make sure all settings in './localconfig' are correct. If all else fails, set '$db_check' to 0. [root@localhost bugzilla]# What do I need to do next? I tried creating an empty database called bugs for the script to hook into, but no luck. I tried creating a user bugs with full permission, but no luck. Thanks for any leads. Scott

wget'ing files relative paths?
by Rogelio 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

I'm trying to wget some very specific files off a web page, but some of the paths are relative paths (e.g. ../path/to/file) rather than abosolute (e.g. http://direct/path/to/file ). Obviously, when wget gets to that part, it craps out... Is there a switch in wget (in CentOS 5 - latest wget package) that lets me maintain this session? I tried some of the options here (http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/html_node/HTTP-Options.html ), but it's not working, and I'm hoping someone here might point me in the right direction.
