A problem about upgrade centos5.2
by 王行焘 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

hi, i made a mistake that i used centos5.4 i686 to upgrade the centos 5.2 x86_64,which runs on a server whose cpu is Xeon.The server seems to need CentOS X86_64 version. Should i use the　CentOS 5.4 X86_64 disk to upgrade the CentOS 5.4 i 686? Ps.I urgently need to upgrade it because the glibc x86_64 conflicts with the i686 one....It drives me crazy and i am hitting my head against the wall... Should that work well?Should i try that？Please help to let me move on with my life.... Thanks very much! -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Best wishes from WANG Xing-tao Management Information and Information System BeijingJiaotongUniversity 北京交通大学经济管理学院信息管理与信息系统王行焘

CERN using RHEL/CentOS?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I just did my daily news scan and saw some screenshots that illustrate the press release [0] announcing the first collisions at the LHC. Those screenshots show windows and buttons that exactly match my CentOS GNOME Desktop [1]. AFAIK, SuSE/Novell has different skins, as has (Open)Solaris and AIX, for instance. So, has there anybody more information on this? Would make a nice success story for CentOS!

NFS4 issue

We are running kernel 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5 with exporting 3 aoe provided ext4 directories. For a couple of weeks we had a small number of users using the system with no issues, today we added 7 users and the system crashed and did not perform correctly since.

Nov 23 11:47:20 sulphur kernel: nfsd: last server has exited Nov 23 11:47:20 sulphur kernel: nfsd: unexporting all filesystems I haven't found a report of an issues for the "nfsdcb: id '-2' too big!" message but equally I don't know what it means either. On the console we are seeing loads of these messages:- kernel: NFSD: preprocess_seqid_op: magic stateid! Again I don't know what this means or the implications of this message. Any suggestions would be welcome. At the moment we are up with two users migrated back to the old servers. Thanks Phil.

IIRC the C3 is i586 compatible (almost i686 but missing something stupid like 'cmov' instruction). I've got a handful of C3 based systems in my personal lab and run into 'oddities' every now and then because of this... Tim Nelson Systems/Network Support Rockbochs Inc. (218)727-4332 x105

Via EPIA m10000 Nemehiah
by Ben Mohilef 23 Nov '09

Does anyone else have one of these on 24/7 running RHEL 5.4 or Centos 5.4 ?? That box mysteriously stops ( no crash data, it just stops) hours or days after boot, with or without X. Cntl-Alt-Delete reboots it without power cycling. The usual diagnostics (memtest and fsck) return no errors. Works great until it freezes. No evidence of kernel oops anywhere. If others report the same issues we will scrap the board. Otherwise I will continue to investigate what is happening, since it is no fun to pull the board out and replace with an atom processor and it is not critical. The hard disk in it came from an Athlon M board that died an untimely death this week. Service cpufreq reports "unavailable" so I am assuming that it is turned off. Could the cpu freqquency control be doing something without tellling us? We havea power monitor on it so I can discern if it dies with max cpu activity or not. Also I am leaving it run "top" without screensaver so I can see if a particular load or program is borking it. Am I missing something obvious here? TIA. benm

3Com 3c940 moel only giving me 100 mb throughput to network switch
by Gilbert Sebenste 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Hello all, As the subject states, I have a 3Com 3c940 Ethernet card to a 1 gb network switch. The switch detects it, but it only shows that it is giving me 100 mb/sec throughput. That card is rated for 1 GB...is there a way to force it to try to use 1 GB/sec? System-config-network isn't helping me here. Thanks for any help! ******************************************************************************* Gilbert Sebenste ******** (My opinions only!) ****** *******************************************************************************

Is there a CentOS selinux mailing list?
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

The subject says it all. I've still got that irritating problem of selinux complaining with smagent writing to its own logfile, and as I mentioned here, weeks ago, I've done everything that sealert says, a number of times, and it didn't fix it, and I've determined that it's clearly an error handling failure of selinux. So, I'm hoping to find someone else who's run into the same thing.... mark
