Re: [CentOS] Memory Leak with stock Squirrelmail, PHP, mysql, apache since 5.3

Thx, kfx Hi, We are experiencing the same issue, however using Apache and Tomcat via Proxy AJP to server a Shibboleth IdP on CentOS 5.3 - stock RPMs. httpd-2.2.3-22.el5.centos tomcat5-5.5.23-0jpp.7.el5_2.1 Since upgrading to 5.3 we have noticed that overnight all 4GB of physical RAM and all 4GB of swap is eaten and the web service unresponsive. We can still SSH into the machine and restart Apache. This rectifies the issue. These are production boxes and subject to numerous connections, we are trying to isolate the trigger. However, the exact same configuration and applications being served under 5.2 exhibit no issue. I suspect it may be related to this bug, logged with the upstream: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=497077 Cheers, J.

CentOS 4.7 glibc update: not announced?
by William L. Maltby 24 Apr '09

24 Apr '09

Quick Q: while running my A.M. update today, I see several updates that I haven't seen announced yet. The one concerning me is glibc. I killed the update since it glibc is so central to a system. Is it safe to install? If so, I presume I'll want to update it first and then the rest of the system? TIA for any information. -- Bill

But it generates some errors on the httpd programa, and I moved them to links on "/etc/httpd/conf.d" to the netdisco config files.

Grub configuration from within Windows
by Marko Vojinovic 24 Apr '09

24 Apr '09

My friend uses a typical dual-boot setup (Windows XP and Centos 5.3). The machine is online 24/7 and he often uses it from a remote location (Linux via ssh -X, Windows via rdesktop). The problem is that he wants to be able to remotely configure which of these two OSes is to be the default on next reboot, so he can switch from one OS to the other and back remotely. If Linux is up, he just needs to reconfigure grub.conf, but if Windows is up (and default) he has no way of accessing grub.conf. Now, he has several partitions on the drive, some ntfs, some vfat and some ext3. Is there a clean way of putting grub.conf on a vfat partition? Is there a way for Windows to have rw access to ext3 filesystem (namely, /)? Is there some other way of handling this without physical access to the machine while it boots? I have suggested virtualization of Windows, so he could run them both concurrently without pain, but for certain (computational performance) reasons that is not a good option for him --- he wants hard reboots between OSes. Any suggestions? Thanks! :-) Marko

mock %post(pam) failure
by Stuart Jansen 24 Apr '09

24 Apr '09

I recently upgraded an internal build server from C5.2 to C5.3 and now I'm experiencing problems initializing the mock buildroot. Specifically, I'm getting the following error: ------ /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.77062: line 6: cat: command not found /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.77062: line 7: rm: command not found /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.77062: line 22: install: command not found /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.77062: line 25: install: command not found error: %post(pam-0.99.6.2-4.el5.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 ------ Googling has revealed that Fedora had a similar problem about a year ago, but doesn't reveal what to do about it. Apparently there is a circular dependency between pam and coreutils. For some reason yum has recently decided to install pam before coreutils. Has anyone else seen this? More importantly, does anyone have any tips how to resolve or work around the issue?

Mount Openfiler created XFS volumes
by Rajagopal Swaminathan 24 Apr '09

24 Apr '09

Greetings, I have a 500Gig hdd with and XFS filesystem created by openfiler (which strangely switched from lovely CentOS for reasons best known to them). I fired up a Centos box with this hdd. I then did yum install kmod-xfs.i686 xfsdump.i386 dmapi xfsprogs and it wnt through. But when I try to mount this volume mount -t xfs /dev/hdd1 /mnt/test I get the error: mount: /dev/hdd1 already mounted or /mnt/test busy I then try xfs_admin -l /dev/hdd1 The results being: xfs_admin: unexpected XFS SB magic number 0x00000000 xfs_admin: read failed: Invalid argument xfs_admin: data size check failed cache_node_purge: refcount was 1, not zero (node=0xa058670) xfs_admin: cannot read root inode (22) label = "(null)" Sure I'm missing something very basic here... Can somebody point my mistake? and some clues to solve this problem... TIA Regards Rajagopal
