partition woes (mapper/isw_bdihgcgahe_Volume0p2)
by aurfalien＠gmail.com 04 Apr '10

04 Apr '10

Hi, I found 2 identical drives lying around and put them into a system. When booting from a Centos 5.x installer, and when being presented with the formatting option (disk druid), it says I have 1 volume of; mamapper/isw_bdihgcgahe_Volume0p2 I can't seem to get rid of it. I have 2 physical disks but disk druid is seeing 1 volume thats the same size as one of the 2 identical drives. I've tried everything from yanking the 2nd drive, installing Centos with 1 drive, then installing the second drive and doing; dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb ... to even installing diff OS's like Ubuntu and Windows which see 2 individual disks where I repartition/reformat the drives. Seems as though I can't truly re write a part of the master boot record or some other area. I'm pretty feeble with this crap so can any one help me get a clue on what to do? These drives may have been in some hard ware raided system of the past, am unsure and no one here knows. This is really driving me crazy!!!!! - aurf

Watching a file using auditd
by Yungwei Chen 03 Apr '10

03 Apr '10

Hi, I am using auditd to monitor files for changes (read and write actually). I found that when auditd is running, it will correctly report files that are read, but will not report changes to a file that is being monitored. But if I stop auditd and load audit rules using auditctl, it will work as expected. Here's the audit rule: -w /tmp/audit-test -p rw -k __monitored__ What am I missing here? Thanks.

centos + ldap + syncrepl (push vs pull)
by aurfalien＠gmail.com 03 Apr '10

Hi, From what I gather, OpenLDAP on Centos 5.x pulls LDAP changes from central LDAP server to a secondary LDAP server. So in other words, you can have your second LDAP server pull the db based on either; type=refreshOnly which mean the pull interval will happen when ever you specify or; type=refreshAndPersist which mean after a pull, keep the pipe open for any changes made. Now in Ubuntu one can have there primary LDAP push the changes to all the secondaries. Can I somehow enable push in Centos OpenLDAP because pull seems pretty lame in this case. I tried but to no avail. Hope the answer isn't "Son, thats just the way it iz". - aurf

Enlightenment E17 on CentOS 5.x ?
by Niki Kovacs 02 Apr '10

02 Apr '10

Hi, Anyone knows how to install E17 on CentOS 5 ? Maybe there are packages on some third party repo out there ? I thought about building it from Fedora SRPMS, but before giving this a spin, I thought I'd rather ask first. AFAIK, the CentOS-based Yellow Dog distribution uses E17 as main window manager / desktop environment. I remember having tried out Enlightenment - I think it was in 2007 or so - on Slackware and I've been pretty stunned by how less system resources it consumed while looking impressive at the same time. Cheers, Niki

Hello folks, Unfortunately I have to add 2 users on 200 servers that do not have centralized authentication or sudo or the same room password. I tried doing this with expect and "su -" but the script fails or acts funny. Please advise me or tell me where I need to look... Thanks and regards, Bazy

Release 6?
by MHR 02 Apr '10

02 Apr '10

Since 5.5 is now out from Red Hat and most likely our amazing CentOS team has already jumped on that, is there any word on Release 6? IIRC it's already a year out of date (base was supposed to be Fedora 10), so I have to wonder. I didn't see anything jump out at me on the Red Hat site, so - anyone? Thanks. mhr
