Lingering dhclient issue
by Alfred von Campe 22 Jun '11

22 Jun '11

I recently reconfigured some CentOS 4.3 systems that were using DHCP to use static IP addresses. At the same time, the systems were moved to a new VLAN. Here is the approximate sequence of events that took place: 1. ifdown eth0 2. edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 with static IP address 3. wait for network folks to reconfigure switch 4. ifup eth0 I may have reversed steps 1 and 2 on some of the systems. The problem was that the dhclient process didn't go away, and kept renewing the old lease. Our DHCP server is configured to contact the DNS server and update the entry for each host it serves. So the DNS entries for these systems were pointing to the old address in the old VLAN. The eth0 interface itself just kept the static IP address for which it was configured. It took me a while to figure out what was going on. My question is, what could I have done to avoid this (other than killing the dhclient process)? Is there a better way to reconfigure an interface to use a static address? I am not interested in solutions that involve using a GUI (i.e., only command line solutions). Thanks, Alfred

I have an old RHEL3 box that I am upgrading to CentOS5. I picked up a new Dell Poweredge R200 to use for that. Is there an easy way to copy all the user accounts and existing mail from the old server to the new one? Thanks. -- -=/>Thom

Mirroring Hard Drive
by Matt 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

I have a 500GB Sata drive about 15% used I would like to make an exact copy of too another Sata 500GB drive as a spare. That way if something happens to the one in service I can plug in the spare quickly and restore one of the weekly backups without reinstalling the entire OS and all the little tweaks of setup on this mail/web server. How do I do this? That is make an exact bootable copy of a linux drive. Its running Centos 4.6 if that matters. Matt

nspluginwrapper included in CentOS 5.2 fails completely
by MHR 18 Nov '08

18 Nov '08

I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. I run CentOS 5.2 x86_64 on my workstation at home. Since 5.2 came out with nepluginwrapper bundled into it, none of my plugins work. I thought it was just a problem with the flash plugin, but neither the mplayerplug-in plugins nor the adobe acrobat reader plugin work, either. I have this problem both with the Seamonkey contributed 64-bit build and my own (otherwise perfectly working) native build of the 2.01a pre-release trunk build (which I have been using since January, with occasional updates, the most recent being about a week ago). I have not tried going back to the 32-bit release of Seamonkey, although I suppose that's next. I stopped using that when it kept crashing when I tried to save a web page after having visited some unknown threshold level of pages (i.e., it wouldn't do this on the first or second web page, but somewhere down the line, a threshold was crossed and it would crash fairly regularly). In discussions with the Mozilla folks, I concluded that the problem had something to do with running the 32-bit release on my 64-bit OS. Due to some peculiarity in the 1.x Mozilla build process, I was never able to build a 64-bit version of the 1.x releases, but I had no trouble running the L&G not-yet-released revision, with occasional glitches from the bugs that I ran into (and reported). But, back to the point: There are two major issues I have with the 5.2 bundled nspluginwrapper: 1) The nspluginwrapper program itself is gone, which makes it a little (lot) harder to manage and troubleshoot the problems. and, more importantly: 2) None of the 32-bit plugins that are supposed to be wrapped work. Period. Is this something I should report in bugzilla, at CentOS (and upstream)? I didn't see it in the bugs listed at CentOS.org. Thanks. mhr

Reformatting a USB drive
by Todd Cary 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '08

I have a USB drive that has been formatted as NTFS. Can I reformat it? I have identified these properties about it /dev/sda1 /media/Extrnl_Bkup Not sure what to do next since the GUI will not mount a NTFS disk (expected). Todd -- Ariste Software 2200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

NFS issues
by Johan Swensson 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

So I'm running nfs to get content to my web servers. Now I've had this problem 2 times (about 2 weeks since the last occurrence). I use drbd on the nfs server for redundancy. Now to my problem: All my web sites stopped responding so I started by checking dmesg and there I found a bunch of this errors || Aug 11 16:00:39 web03 kernel: lockd: server 192.168.20.22 not responding, timed out Aug 11 16:02:39 web03 kernel: lockd: server 192.168.20.22 not responding, timed out But when checking the nfs server lockd was running and I could access all the files from the webserver with ls, cd etc. The logs on the nfs server doesn't say anything of interest and checking apaches error_log just says "not found or unable to stat". Now I mentioned this have happened 2 times and both these times I've "solved" it by rebooting the nfs server and web servers. This isn't a good solution to have to reboot my servers every couple of weeks so I really could use some help. :) Also I get this from time to time on the web servers, dunno if it's related. /do_vfs_lock: VFS is out of sync with lock manager! /
