diagnosing strange crash/hang
by Gordon McLellan 18 Jun '07

18 Jun '07

This morning I get a call that a server is down. The server in question is a vmware guest, windows 2003 advanced. The host is vmware server 1.01, running on centos 4.4 x64 on a poweredge 2950. The server has 16g of ram and a quadcore cpu, storage is provided by a perc 5/i, raid 1 across two 146gb sas drives. I was able to ssh into the host. After trying to ping the guest, and trying to connect to vmware via the management console, I decided to restart the vmware service. so I type service vmware restart. it hung on "shutting down virtual machines". I was able to ctrl-c out, and decided to manually kill the vmware processes. after killing all the vmware stuff, I did a service vmware start. I get an error "cannot touch /etc/vmware/locations: read only file system" /etc is part of /, which mount claimed was mounted RW so I try cat /var/log/messages and get nothing so I tell the machine to reboot (remotely). of course, it doesn't come back up on its own, so I drive to the location. the machine is running, but sitting at a black screen. I don't know what state it was in, so did a forced turn off. turning it back on, it proceeded to boot normally. it had a slight pause while it ran fsck on / but other than that, no errors. the vm's restarted normally, /var/log/messages is back, but has no entries between June 15 and when I rebooted it the 2nd time on June 18. any ideas on where I should start looking? is there some way to read array status from a Perc controller under linux? any suggestions will be appreciated! thanks Gordon

mounting an lvm partition via a USB adapter
by Robert Moskowitz 18 Jun '07

18 Jun '07

I am trying to mount this (my old hard drive) from my Centos 5 install as a USB drive so I can copy files over. I have made the change to max_luns so that I can have more than one drive on a USB drive. The first partition, /dev/sda1 mounts automatically as /boot_ The second partition, /dev/sda2 is the one I really want and it is an lvm partition. When I am booted from this drive (as the installed IDE drive, not as a usb drive) has for its /etc/fstab: # This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 swap swap defaults 0 0 But I do not see any /dev/Vol... when I boot from my Centos 5 drive (oh, I have labeled the lvm partitions on that drive to start with Centos5 so that its labels are different from my Centos 4 drive lablels). What mount command do I use?

CentOSplus Postfix with mysql/pgsql
by Brent DiNicola 18 Jun '07

18 Jun '07

The lasted version of Postfix in the OS for 4.5 add a .1 to the rpm version which makes it newer than the CentOSPlus version and hence replaces it, any intent to update the 4.5 CentOSPlus package or should I roll my own with mysql included? 4.5 OS Version: postfix-2.2.10-1.1.el4.i386.rpm 4.4/5 CentOSPlus Version: postfix-2.2.10-1.RHEL4.2.mysql_pgsql.c4.i386.rpm Thanks Brent -- Brent DiNicola/Whitewolf The Whitewolf of Imrryr <centos .AT. elric.net> http://www.elric.net Disclaimer: Any opinions expressed here are from my dog.

OT - IP Tables - forwarding to localhost
by first last 18 Jun '07

18 Jun '07

Hi, I am trying to set up a firewall rule so calls to old_mailserver:25 get redirected to localhost:25. I have seen quite a few rules and none seem to work. I have tried with the firewall enabled (configured to allow smtp) and disabled, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. One of the commands I have been using is: /sbin/iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp -d old_mailserver_ip/32 --dport 25 -j REDIRECT --to 127.0.0.1:25 Am I missing anything?

dovecot FC2 (0.99.14) to CentOS4 (0.99.11-8.EL4)
by David Hrbáč 18 Jun '07

18 Jun '07

Hi, I have to move IMAP mail store from FC Dag's dovecot 0.99.14 to new Centos4 machine. Dovecot complains about corrupted indexes, Missing location field, Data position of record xxx points outside file etc. There's no 0.99.14 version for EL4 in rpmforge. Distribusion version is three steps down - 0.99.11. Any hints? Thanks a lot. David PS: I have rsynced all maildir Friday and today I had to move to the old machine :o(

antivirus
by Wayne 18 Jun '07

18 Jun '07

Hey Guys, Thanks to everybody who responded to my first email.. Been thinking about this a bit more. Does anybody know if its possible to have all desktops running antivirus logging alerts and to a central linux server which could log to mysql? Would be really handy for reporting. I can see that the updates can be downloaded from a share on a linux server but Im wondering about storing logging data and maybe configuration? Pretty much everything out there these days has a way to log into sql except I can find an antivirus that can do this? Then our current centos server could be a central console for all the antivirus apps on the client windows machines.. Is this possible? To have antvirus alerts logged to sql centrally? Would be pretty sweet... Thanks, Wayne

migration considerations
by Michael Kress 17 Jun '07

17 Jun '07

Hi, I've got a 3ware 9550SX-4LP on a dual xeon 3.6GHz machine (no HVM possible). 4 SATA-HDs in RAID 5 installed. xen 3.0.3 with centos-4.4 as xen0. centos-4.4 is also installed on the numerous xenUs. The xenUs are installed in LVs which are formatted as xfs. Now I'd like to move over to centos 5.0 This is what I thought to be good as an upgrade procedure: 1) install a xen0 to a (bootable) USB hard disk this allows me to go back to my old configuration as soon as I encounter irresolvable probs 2) mount xenU-partitions from xen0 and put modules from the centos5-supplied kernel in there with this test I also test if the 3w_9xxx driver runs smoothly, I'll try bonnie++. 3) run xenUs and test them (Will they run and work?) 4) if all runs good, install xen0 over the old xen0, make backup before. My particular question here is: As it's important to have the 3w_9xxx driver properly loaded with this step, is there anything special I shouldn't forget here? All this shouldn't take me more than 2 hours. What's your opinion? Any more hints? Thanks Michael -- Michael Kress, kress(a)hal.saar.de http://www.michael-kress.de / http://kress.net P E N G U I N S A R E C O O L
