Data recovery with superblocks?
by Scott Ehrlich 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

It recently occurred to me, as I was partitioning a RAID with fdisk, that when I built the system, I was presented with a graphical utility that "magically" created the partitions. Now, using fdisk, I was reminded of being given superblocks. Although I haven't used data recovery techniques using superblocks, is there a way to retrieve the superblock numbers the OS has assigned to a partition? Thanks. Scott

postfix - killed by signal 11 - debug help
by John Thomas 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

Any suggestions to help me troubleshoot a "killed by signal 11" problem with Postfix? I've Googled and fiddled, but cannot figure it out. I have no idea where to look/start. Based on this post, Wietse suggests this type of problem happens when there compiled with different libraries. I tried ldd on various programs and found they all seemed to line up, but I know little. http://www.security-express.com/archives/postfix/2005-12/0152.html Logs: [root@srv log]# grep 'killed by signal 11' maillog* maillog:Aug 19 13:50:21 srv postfix/master[2719]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 3996 killed by signal 11 maillog.1:Aug 12 07:01:18 srv postfix/master[20954]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/local pid 25006 killed by signal 11 maillog.1:Aug 13 06:22:38 srv postfix/master[25310]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/cleanup pid 1195 killed by signal 11 maillog.1:Aug 13 18:02:37 srv postfix/master[25310]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/pipe pid 6419 killed by signal 11 maillog.1:Aug 14 07:37:41 srv postfix/master[11557]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtp pid 12580 killed by signal 11 maillog.1:Aug 16 14:18:04 srv postfix/master[11557]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 5323 killed by signal 11 maillog.1:Aug 17 02:37:19 srv postfix/master[11557]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/anvil pid 9575 killed by signal 11 maillog.1:Aug 18 03:02:46 srv postfix/master[11909]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/proxymap pid 19937 killed by signal 11 maillog.1:Aug 19 03:38:28 srv postfix/master[22278]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/proxymap pid 28403 killed by signal 11 maillog.2:Aug 6 07:13:42 srv postfix/master[20954]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/cleanup pid 26753 killed by signal 11 maillog.2:Aug 6 17:45:42 srv postfix/master[20954]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 31635 killed by signal 11 maillog.3:Jul 31 22:40:54 srv postfix/master[20149]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 21654 killed by signal 11 maillog.3:Aug 3 00:57:53 srv postfix/master[20149]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/cleanup pid 10409 killed by signal 11 maillog.4:Jul 28 03:37:04 srv postfix/master[3457]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/cleanup pid 14690 killed by signal 11 maillog.4:Jul 28 09:05:51 srv postfix/master[17435]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtp pid 17490 killed by signal 11 System: CentOS 5.0 - updated postfix-pflogsumm-2.3.3-2.el5.centos.mysql_pgsql postfix-2.3.3-2.el5.centos.mysql_pgsql pam_mysql-0.6.2-4 cyrus-sasl-plain-2.1.22-4 cyrus-sasl-2.1.22-4 cyrus-sasl-md5-2.1.22-4 cyrus-sasl-sql-2.1.22-4 cyrus-imapd-utils-2.3.8-9 cyrus-imapd-devel-2.3.8-9 cyrus-sasl-lib-2.1.22-4 cyrus-sasl-devel-2.1.22-4 cyrus-sasl-gssapi-2.1.22-4 cyrus-imapd-perl-2.3.8-9 cyrus-imapd-2.3.8-9 sqlgrey-1.7.6-1 clamav-db-0.91.1-1.el5.rf amavisd-new-2.5.2-1.el5.rf clamav-0.91.1-1.el5.rf mysql-5.0.22-2.1 mysql-server-5.0.22-2.1 mysql-devel-5.0.22-2.1 -- Sincerely, John Thomas

GNBD and DRBD kernel mods
by Bart 18 Aug '07

18 Aug '07

Hi all, I am using heartbeat and drbd on CentOS 5 (see http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=7816&forum=41 for details).. DRBD and heartbeat are working, and now I want to put GNBD on top on this. However, I installed the latest CentOS-plus kernel (2.6.18-8.1.8.el5.centos.plus) but there doesn't appear to be a kmod-gndb for this kernel. Looks like the latest kmod-gnbd is available for kernel 2.6.18-8.1.8.el5. But I cannot find a kmod-drbd for this kernel. Am I missing something or is this worth a entry in the buglist?

repost: SELinux questions, upon restarting BIND

As this remains an issue for me, I'm reposting. Please forgive the redundancy, but I've been unable to find the answer and am hoping for some guidance.

Problem is, I'm still not sure what should be done. I'd rather not disable SELinux protection by doing this: setsebool -P named_disable_trans=1 ...but the instructions for alerting SELinux to the chrooted file locations are a bit short of my (inexperienced) needs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. @Moderator: if this is truly off-topic, my apologies. Please let me know and I will post to an SELinux list.

CPU and FBDIMM thermal monitoring
by Bernd Bartmann 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

I'm running Centos5 x86_64 on an ASUS DSBV-DX/SAS mainboard with a Xeon E5345 quad core CPU. The mainboard BIOS shows me all the thermal information about CPU and the FBDIMMs as well as the fan rotation speeds. ACPI is set to version 3.0 in the BIOS. Under Centos5 I can't see any of these information under /proc/acpi/thermal_zone. This directory is just empty. Do I have to load any special kernel modules to get the correct values? Of course I'd like to have acpid give alerts or shut down the system in case of overheating. Best regards, Bernd.
