Re: [CentOS] PHP file upload limit
by James Hogarth 09 Jun '10

09 Jun '10

Plus at that point you might also be hitting problems with browser behaviour.... since you say it is a web app.... 2 gigs is a heck of a post... have you looked into any other solutions such as an uploader in flash or java capable of resuming transfers and streamed (partial) transfers rather than a single post?

Other PHP settings, like post_max_size, also can affect large uploads. Google is your friend on this.

MAC address changes after cloning
by premrajm＠digilink.in 09 Jun '10

09 Jun '10

Hi, I have x86 system and have used clonezilla to clone the entire hardisk of system A and restored it on another x86 system, system B. After the cloning process, i notice that the MAC address of the system B in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 is changed and is having the MAC address of system A. The interesting part is that if i do an ifconfig from the bash prompt, the MAC address of the system B is correctly displayed, but in ifcfg-eth0 script it is different. I had disabled kudzu, since i was always getting eth1 activated on System B, even though i had used eth0 on system A. eth0.bak was getting created instead on system B. Disabling kudzu resolved it. My question is that how could i get the same MAC address for system B from ifconfig and in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. Is there any script to do it ?

rpm building and hyphens in Version tags
by Joseph L. Casale 09 Jun '10

09 Jun '10

According to http://www.rpm.org/api/4.4.2.2/specfile.html a Version: tag can contain a hyphen, as the tarball for the source I am compiling is named 2.3-pre4 etc. When I try to build it I get an error about the illegal char? Anyone know about the discrepancy between the docs and RHEL's rpmbuild? Without recreating a new tarball and bungling the name how does one gracefully handle this? Thanks! jlc

Is anyone here running Eucalyptus (open source cloud computing manager, similar to Amazon EC2, from UC Santa Barbara)? Have you got any hints for bringing it up? Thanks! Rick

ls -lrt reversal
by Michael D. Berger 09 Jun '10

09 Jun '10

My CentOS box with: $ uname -r 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5 gets the file order wrong with: ls -lrt * . Two files that were last modified in the same second are shown in order that is the reverse of the order in which they were actually last modified. Note also that the later file was first created after the earlier file was last modified. Is the precision of this only to the second? Mike.

SOLVED annoying firefox crash on nvidia
by Paul Bijnens 09 Jun '10

09 Jun '10

A long time ago, there was thread about firefox randomly crashing. http://www.mail-archive.com/centos@centos.org/msg50010.html It turned out not only firefox, but random other X window applications as well. Especially scrolling in firefox seemed to induce the error. I'm now since almost 2 weeks up and running with the same firefox instance and scrolling up/down, left/right, playing video's, viewing websites with heavy javascripts whatever, and without any crash since. I use the proprietary driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-195.36.24-pkg2.run (the latest last time I looked). I believe the cullprit was to explicitly load some modules in the xorg.conf file. (It is probably the "extmod" module -- there is almost no real documentation on what those modules actually do...) While the nvidia driver installs, there is an utility that generates the new xorg.conf file for you, having only one module "glx" loaded. This seems to be source of the trouble. Gnome seems to assume more functionality is available, and does not gracefully recover when asking something that is not implemented in those extra modules. Since adding some more modules, I have no more crashes: Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "extmod" Load "type1" Load "freetype" Load "glx" Load "fbdevhw" Load "record" EndSection And, as added benefit, or side effect, the memory usage of my gnome applets has drastically gone down. I used to see a simple clock-applet having using 800 Mbyte virtual memory or so and having 400M reported under the "resident memory" column. Other people also reported such a problem, but it was frequently dismissed by explanations like "gnome uses a lot of shared memory it is not real memory". I now have my clock and other gnome applets running in under 300M virtual, 10-14M resident memory (if you ask me, still large for clock -- where is the time when I ran a whole unix with 5 serial terminals and the server had 1 Mbyte RAM total memory on a motorola 68010 processor?) -- Paul Bijnens *********************************************************************** * I think I've got the hang of it now: exit, ^D, ^C, ^\, ^Z, ^Q, ^^, * * quit, ZZ, :q, :q!, M-Z, ^X^C, logoff, logout, close, bye, /bye, ~., * * stop, end, ^]c, +++ ATH, disconnect, halt, abort, hangup, KJOB, * * ^X^X, :D::D, kill -9 1, kill -1 $$, shutdown, init 0, Alt-F4, * * Alt-f-e, Ctrl-Alt-Del, Alt-SysRq-reisub, Stop-A, AltGr-NumLock, ... * * ...

Created a custom/minimal CentOS 5.x install ISO
by Digimer 09 Jun '10

09 Jun '10

Hi all, I'd like to try rolling a somewhat stripped down and customized CentOS DVD. This is particularly interesting to me now that CentOS 5.5 is 2 DVDs. I dare not call it a new distro as I suspect I will be the only one to use it. ;) I've been googling for ways to do this, figuring it must be somewhat straight forward, but my google-fu is weak it seems. Can someone point me to a how-to or doc on rolling your own CentOS derivative ISO? Also, I'm not talking about just rolling a new ISO, I can do that already, I want to update the list of RPMs (not)available to the installer. Thanks! PS - I found this link, but it's from 2006. Otherwise it's in-line with the kind of thing I want to do: http://lateral.netmanagers.com.ar/stories/38.html -- Digimer E-Mail: linux(a)alteeve.com AN!Whitepapers: http://alteeve.com Node Assassin: http://nodeassassin.org

Odd INFO "120 seconds" in logs for 2.6.18-194.3.1
by Steve Brooks 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

Hi, Since upgrading to "2.6.18-194" I am getting odd messages in the logs. Such as; sraid3 kernel INFO task pdflush 259 blocked for more than 120 seconds. The output from > grep '120 seconds' /var/log/messages | tr : ' ' | awk '{print $10}' | sort | uniq -c 6 nfsd 4 pdflush This is from an NFS server that since the upgrade has been flakey. I have an identical server running "2.6.18-164.11.1" and no such messages are seen. is anyone else seeing this and/or know what is going on? Steve The messages appear as follows. ============================================================================================ Jun 7 19:45:21 sraid3 kernel: INFO: task nfsd:3369 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

grub, initrd and Co
by Philippe Naudin 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

Hi all, I am trying to boot from a HD created as a copy of a running system (and it doesn't work, and I don't understand why ...) This is the system to be copied : File-system Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 2.0G 797M 1.1G 43% / tmpfs 506M 0 506M 0% /dev/shm /dev/hda5 4.7G 3.3G 1.2G 74% /var/spool/squid/cache1 /dev/hda6 4.7G 3.3G 1.2G 74% /var/spool/squid/cache2 The backup of the system has been done with : /bin/tar czO -C / --preserve-permissions --sparse --one-file-system \ --exclude=lost+found --exclude=tmp/* \ . \ | /usr/bin/nc -w 5 my.workstation 6060 # ( after executing # netcat -l -p 6060 > $IMAGE on my.workstation ) On the target HD, I have created three "type 83" partitions and a swap, ran mke2fs -cc -j /dev/$D for the three FS and mkswap -c /dev/$D for the future swap. The target root FS was restored with : tar xzpf $IMAGE -C /mnt/linux On the target root FS, I edited /etc/fstab and /etc/grub.conf, replacing any reference to LABEL=... by the real device (/dev/hda1 and so on). Then I took care of the initrd (future / is mounted on /mnt/linux/) : mount -o bind /dev /mnt/linux/dev mount -t proc none /mnt/linux/proc mount -t sysfs none /mnt/linux/sys rm /mnt/linux/boot/initrd* chroot /mnt/linux mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5.img 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 # so far, so good... ... and installed grub on the target HD : /sbin/grub --no-curses find /boot/grub/stage1 # answer : (hd0,0) root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) # answer : succeeded quit exit # (chroot) When I try to boot the target HD (set as hda in a new PC), I get the grub prompt, and I can boot the system. Every thing goes too quickly, so I can't see what is going on, until : ... Trying to resume from /dev/hda3 No suspend signature on swap, not resuming. Creating root device. Mounting root filesystem. mount: error mounting /dev/root on /sysroot as auto: No such device Setting up other filesystems. Setting up new root fs setuproot: moving /dev/failed: No such file or directory no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults Then it complains about missing /proc and /sys, and end with : switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! /dev/hda3 is the swap partition on the new disk. The swap was in /dev/hda2 on the old disk, but fstab has been modified accordingly ; other FS are just like on the old disk (I mean, / is hda1, cache1 is hda5 and cache2 is hda6). I have certainly forgotten something, but I am unable to find what... Who can help me ? Thanks, -- Philippe
