How does one do this? For example: # lspci | grep USB 00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 02) 00:1a.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #5 (rev 02) 00:1a.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #6 (rev 02) 00:1a.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #2 (rev 02) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 02) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 02) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 02) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #1 (rev 02) and # lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 003: ID 051d:0002 American Power Conversion Uninterruptible Power Supply Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 007 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 008 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 006 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 I thought an lspci -tv would help, but it doesn't show the UPS? # lspci -tv -[0000:00]-+-00.0 Intel Corporation 82G33/G31/P35/P31 Express DRAM Controller +-02.0 Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller +-1a.0 Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 +-1a.1 Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #5 +-1a.2 Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #6 +-1a.7 Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #2 +-1c.0-[0000:03]----00.0 LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS 1078 +-1c.4-[0000:02]----00.0 JMicron Technologies, Inc.

Finding module name for SCSI host adapter for a given SCSI target
by Robert Nichols 04 Jun '08

04 Jun '08

Given a path to a SCSI device, e.g. "DEV=/dev/st1", I need to find the name of the kernel module for the SCSI host adapter that controls that target. The objective is to be able to unload and reload the kernel module when the drive gets into a state that requires a SCSI bus reset for recovery. The best I've been able to come up with so far is: SCSIMOD=$(cat /sys/class/scsi_tape/${DEV##*/}/device/../../scsi_host:host*/proc_name) Anyone know of a way that is a bit less convoluted? -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address.

CentOS 64bits can't boot
by Victor Padro 04 Jun '08

04 Jun '08

Hello all, I got this tiny problem, I bought an Asus m2n-vm hdmi mobo two weeks ago and it seems not to be fully working under centos amd64(4.6, 4.9, 5.0, 5.1) or even redhat EL 5.0 i386, amd64, I tried to install centos and redhat EL using the linux dd and linux noprobe commands to load driver disk from nVidia guys but it doesn't detect the HD I'm using their diferent versions of the driver RHEL 4_U5, 4_U6 , 5, 5_U1 , then if I change the IDE config in the BIOS from SATA to AHCI, it detects the SATA HD during the install process, but when it boots up, it tells me to "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key", but nothing happens...then I change the BIOS IDE setting back to SATA, and it boots but it gives me a kernel panic saying "could not mount such file system, not such file or directory", it doesn't load up the drivers at the linux noprobe way, nor even the forcedeth or the sata_nv. I read in ubuntu and fedora forums that they're supported in Ubuntu 7.04, 7.10, 8.04 and Fedora 7, 8, 9, haven't test them yet though, I want to stick with Centos bcos thats my working enviroment. What can I do? Here are my specs: Asus msn-vm hdmi Chipset Nvidia GeForce7050PV/nForce630a AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800 2.5Ghz Dual core 6Gb RAM Kingston 250 HDD SATA2 LG IDE DVD-ROM I'm trying to use this setup in my home lab to test out Xen technology and techniques. cheers, Victor. P.S. sorry for my english

CentOS-Samba question
by MHR 04 Jun '08

04 Jun '08

My main system is a CentOS 5.1 64-bit desktop with gobs of disk and a couple of printers attached that work just fine. I have it set up with samba so my VMWare guest Windows XP can access most of the files and the printers. But, when I try to connect to the printers from a remote machine that has a Win98/WinXP dual boot, I can't see the printers at all. Both 98/XP can ping the host by IP address or by name (I've updated the host on both and the lmhost file on the 98 boot), but the 98 boot can't see the network at all, and the XP boot can't see anything on my CentOS box, although it at least sees that the box is there. Here's my smb.conf: # Global parameters [global] workgroup = MARKHOME domain master = yes preferred master = yes server string = Samba Server printcap name = /etc/printcap cups options = raw log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 password server = none username map = /etc/samba/smbusers socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 wins support = yes dns proxy = no idmap uid = 16777216-33554431 idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 template shell = /bin/false winbind use default domain = no [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S path = /home/%u create mask = 664 directory mask = 775 writeable = yes browseable = yes [tmp] comment = Temporary file space path = /tmp writeable = yes guest ok = yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = yes printable = yes What am I missing? Thanks. mhr

Asus M3A78-EMH HDMI NCQ-issues
by Simen Timian Thoresen 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Hi all, I'm sure this eventually will be resolved with a BIOS or kernel update, but in case someone experiences this on this or a similar motherboard, I thought I'd post a problem-and-workaround report. Platform CentOS5, x86_64 kernel-2.6.18-53.1.21.el5 Motherboard Asus M3a78-EMH HDMI SATA-controller configured as AHCI Experienced symptom; Periodic, ~20s lockups/freezes, several a day, in conjunction with disk (SATA) I/O. Kernel logs something like this; ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x1 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen ata3.00: cmd 61/08:00:71:18:7d/00:00:02:00:00/40 tag 0 cdb 0x0 data 4096 out res 40/00:00:00:4f:c2/00:00:00:4f:c2/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout) ata3: soft resetting port ata3: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata3.00: configured for UDMA/133 ata3: EH complete SCSI device sdc: 234441648 512-byte hdwr sectors (120034 MB) sdc: Write Protect is off sdc: Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 SCSI device sdc: drive cache: write back (on a side note, the system has 6 SATA disks, the older ST3120827AS Seagate-disk here exhibits this significantly more often than the others, but they too are affected) From other sources this is reported as a AHCI NCQ bug. My workaround, which was suggested somewhere else, was to disable NCQ; (in rc.local) for D in sd{a,b,c,d,e,f} ; do echo 1 > /sys/block/$a/device/queue_depth done This resolves the above issue, and from several times an hour, I have not experienced it since (~30h).

FW: Partitioning help
by Rajeev R. Veedu 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Hi, I have Centos server 4.5 with 3.3TB raid disk on a 3 ware controller. Now the problem is that I am not able to see the partition in full since it shows only 1.2TB. I have created a partition with Parted and (GNU PARTED) and I have seen it is 3.3 T there. However I have to make this partition on ext3 with make2efs j /dev/sda1 and after the formatting it went to 1.2T. Could someone help me to address this issue by suggesting a proper partitioning utility which does this for me?. It is a production server on which 2 hdd had been failed and I need to make it up and running ASAP. Any suggestion and help would be really appreciated. Regards, Rajeev R. Veedu

Booting Diskless Workstations
by Joseph L. Casale 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

I made a post in the Fedora list that didn't yield much help regarding this. I need to use a CentOS5.1 server to remotely boot a few Fedora 9 workstations. I have the option of using straight PXE, or even reflashing gPXE to the LOM for the clients. What I am interested in knowing is the best approach to this. 1. Should I just do iSCSI backed diskless setups? Probably doesn't scale well. 2. I looked at ltsp, but I can't present a fc9 environment with a RH5.1 server? The workstations would be fairly stateless, I intended on redirecting home dirs to a persistent share that gets backed up. Any ideas I can look into would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, jlc
