generate core dump for process
by Jerry Geis 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Hi all. I ran "ulimit -c unlimited" as root on my machine (centos 5.3 x86_64) when I run the process it is getting SIGSEGV but not creating a core dump? What else do I need to do to get a core dump file when I run "gdb myprocess" the SIGSEGV does not happen. Jerry

bind dns help?
by Roland Roland 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Hello, I've recently inherited a network with bind dns already set in it.. the thing is, the previous admin added our networks "domain" as our default company's website.. lets say "abcd.com" first of all, I'm a complete newbie with DNS under linux so I've sruggled my way and finally landed on webmin that helps me out in adding local dns records. though the problem occurs whenever there's a url on our website that needs to be accessed... let me explain.. a.. I can browse to abcd.com b.. I can browse to local.abcd.com c.. but I cannot access public.abcd.com as the dns search for "public" under it's records and it cannot find it.. how can I solve this? changing the domain is in no way possible, as there's almost 200 virtual host setup in my local network.. so I need a quick solution for this.. any advice? PS: if any of you can guide me to a good DNS under centos tutorial I'll appreciate it

FYI: Why is NFS slower on EL5 than EL4?
by Ross Walker 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

For those who have wondered why NFS on EL5 is slower than on EL4 I provide these links for your edification. http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-15355 http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448130 Problem is kernel threads cannot create or assign an io context as there is no api in the kernel available to do so, so each is given a different context and there is an 8ms latency between switching contexts. The knowledge base article recommends disabling this latency to get around it, but in doing that you might as well just use the deadline scheduler. Some other interesting tidbits for those using NFS. NFS with many nfsd threads will create a lot of file system fragments when writing large files. XFS does have the advantage of a defragger (I hope some smart person will develop one for ext2/3/4), but I am still looking for a better way to protect against fragmentation then running a defragger, so if anyone has an alternative I'm all ears. Another hint for those using NFS with ESX, make sure your vmdk partitions are 4k aligned or there is a serious performance penalty as 2 reads for each write will happen if the io request stradles a page boundary. This is more serious for random io than sequential, but both are effected. To give an example, my NFS storage with write-back cache was only able to do 1MB/s (4k direct io 4 outstanding) on a non-aligned partition, on an aligned partition I was able to get 13MB/s with the same workload. That's 13x improvement. For Linux you can use fdisk/sfdisk to start your first partition on sector 64 instead of the default 63. On Windows use diskpart to create a partition that is aligned on a given offset. -Ross

Wireless Printing

My home network doesn't have any wireless access points (to slow) and I was iSCSI booting my wkst for a while:) Now I need to setup a printer so I was going to get an HP Photosmart C4580. The HPLIP page shows no network support:( I _was_ going to use a USB wireless nic I have and setup an ad-hoc to print to this thing. Anyone know anything that might make this work? Thanks! jlc

mount toption: nodev

Hi, I am trying to secure my CentOS file systems by introducing "nodev" to devies defined in /etc/fstab. I learned that "nodev" prevents users from mounting unauthorized devices. However, I can still mount a cdrom to /tmp/cdrom with the following defined in /etc/fstab. Am I missing something? Thanks. LABEL=/tmp /tmp ext3 defaults,nodev 1 2

Centos 5.3 Kernel panic with fuse and glusterfs.
by Tom O'Connor 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Hi List, We currently have a very irritating problem with Centos 5.3 x86_64 running on a Dell Poweredge SC1435. The problem is this: We are experiencing frequent kernel panics while using glusterfs and Fuse. Across the cluster of servers, we are experiencing roughly 1 panic every 1-2 days. This wasn't a problem with earlier servers where we used Fedora 6. Here's a kernel panic screenshot: http://imagehost.gr/images/c5ad2d5jzgpgoq91v24y.png Here's some general info: Linux server6 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 #1 SMP Thu May 7 10:35:59 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Using: fuse-2.7.4-8_10.el5 fuse-kmdl-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5-2.7.4-8_10.el5 fuse-libs-2.7.4-8_10.el5 glusterfs-common-2.0.1-1.el5 glusterfs-client-2.0.1-1.el5 glusterfs-server-2.0.1-1.el5 I've straced glusterfs while it dies, and there's nothing seriously spurious, just it stops working as soon as the kernel locks up. A little background, Gluster is used to share some directories which are used by apache to serve files from. I've managed to replicate the live environment inside a virtual machine, and also to replicate the kernel panic by loading the virtual machine's apache with ApacheBench, at as few as 3 concurrent requests, the kernel locks up. However, i have been unable to reproduce this exact behavior on the live cluster, and have tried up to 10,000 concurrent requests which max out the network more than anything. I've tried latest versions of gluster and fuse from development snapshots and stable releases, I've tried patched versions of fuse released by Gluster. Nothing seems to improve this problem. If anyone has any ideas for further debugging, or other routes for support. I'm running out of ideas. Thanks in advance Tom O'Connor -- Tom O'Connor -------------------------- Assanka: Every possibility w: http://www.assanka.net/ t: 0870 085 2038 f: 0871 433 0919 e: tom.oconnor(a)assanka.net

Install CentOS on Partition(!)-images as a Xen-guest
by Bernhard Gschaider 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Hi! Some weeks ago the "Running Xen"-book was recommended to me on this list. A nice book, but it gave me crazy idea: One of the recommendations (which sounds very reasonable to me) was to have instead of a single file that serves as a disk-image to have to files: one of them (which is mounted to hda1) serves as a partition that holds the data, the other one (which mounts to hda2) is the swap partition. The text in the books (admittedly it's a bit vague there) lead me to the conclusion that to the Xen-machine they will look like two partitions of a single drive hda. The advantage should be that it is much easier to extend the data partition (Take the machine offline. Extend the image with dd. Extend the filesystem on the image) I created the two files as described in book. "Formatted" them with mkswap and mkfs.ext3 (as described in the book) and added them to the configuration file for the host. Now when I start the installation of the host machine right in the beginning I get a message "/dev/hda1 has a loop partition layout. To use this disk for the installation of CentOS it must be initialized". When I don't allow formatting I get caught in a loop ("Is a loop partition. Initialize?"), when I allow formatting I get a partition on each of the devices (hda11 and hda21) and I would be allowed to go on with the installation, but IMHO this would defeat the purpose of the exercise So my question: - is there some error in thinking on my side? - is this a situation that the installer can't deal with? (in other words: would it work if I copied a complete installation into the root partition-image and then booted that?) - or is there a reason that using partition images is not very popular (Googling around did not reveal anything useful) Bernhard

Simple web server with Apache: web page permissions ?
by Niki Kovacs 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Hi, I'm currently sinking my teeth into the fine "Definitive Guide to CentOS". Right now I'm reading the chapter about Apache. One thing puzzles me: no mention is made of web page permissions. Let's say I'm using Apache's default configuration for setting up the most simple no-frills web server, e. g. no virtual hosts, only a series of static HTML pages in /var/www/html. Q: what permissions should I define for these pages? I remember having setup some web servers on Debian, and the tradition was that everything under /var/www/html (as in this example) was to be owned by user www-data and group www-data. What's the "tradition" with RHEL/CentOS? Cheers, Niki
