fstab multiple line entries?
by Keith Roberts 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

I'm trying to add a long list of mount options in my fstab, and break the entry over 2 lines, as it goes off screen. Taking this as an example: # This works # #/dev/hda9 # original settings # LABEL=downloads /downloads ext3 defaults 1 2 # This doesn't work # #/dev/hda9 # new options LABEL=downloads /downloads \ ext3 defaults 1 2 Using the '\' character at the end of the line in the above example gives the following error message at boot time: Mounting local filesystems: mount: unknown filesystem type '\' mount point defaults does not exist. Is it possible to make multiple line entries like this in fstab, or not?

cron jobs fail to run
by bluethundr 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

hey centos long time no hear! :) I'm having a small issue where the backup jobs that I set to run in the crontab of the backup user do not appear to be running. Here's how I set it up (with crontab -e as the backup user): run amanda every night (check at 2:45 and backup at 3) 45 2 * * * /usr/sbin/amcheck /var/log/amanda/crontab/amcheck.log * 3 * * * /usr/sbin/amdump /var/log/amanda/crontab/amdump.log The executables are where they are supposed to be and run if you type them in on the command line: [amandabackup@amanda ~]$ ls -l /usr/sbin/amcheck -rwsr-x--- 1 root disk 68624 Dec 29 14:08 /usr/sbin/amcheck [amandabackup@amanda ~]$ ls -l /usr/sbin/amdump -rwxr-xr-x 1 amandabackup disk 9637 Dec 29 14:08 /usr/sbin/amdump Although I'm not sure what the 's' indicates in the permissions of amcheck. And here's a tail of the cron logs [root@amanda init.d]# tail /var/log/cron Jan 5 07:01:01 newamanda crond[13612]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) Jan 5 07:17:09 newamanda crontab[13652]: (amandabackup) BEGIN EDIT (amandabackup) Jan 5 07:18:00 newamanda crontab[13652]: (amandabackup) REPLACE (amandabackup) Jan 5 07:18:00 newamanda crontab[13652]: (amandabackup) END EDIT (amandabackup) Jan 5 07:18:01 newamanda crond[1448]: (amandabackup) RELOAD (cron/amandabackup) Jan 5 07:18:39 newamanda crond[13686]: (CRON) STARTUP (V5.0) Jan 5 07:23:01 newamanda crontab[13699]: (amandabackup) BEGIN EDIT (amandabackup) Jan 5 07:23:47 newamanda crontab[13699]: (amandabackup) END EDIT (amandabackup) Jan 5 07:25:38 newamanda crontab[13751]: (amandabackup) BEGIN EDIT (amandabackup) Jan 5 07:25:53 newamanda crontab[13751]: (amandabackup) END EDIT (amandabackup) thanks in advance! -- GPG me!! gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys F186197B

way to replace DELL PERC 6/E card???
by mcclnx mcc 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

we have several R900 servers with PERC 6/E card in it. Recently it we getting some message on /var/log/message say change to "write back" and change back to "write through". We figure out it is PERC 6/E card battery weak. My questions are: 1. some battery only use one year (some even shorter) and already this problem. 2. How come PERC 5/E does not have this issue? 3. where is DISK array information store for PERC 6/E? I did NOT see NVRAM on PERC 6/E card. 4. when replace PERC 6/E card and power on server sometime it will ask you "import configuration" ans some time it won't. Why? 5. When replace PERC 6/E card and power on. Server ask "import configuration" should I answer "yes"? 6. where can I find documentation which mention "import configuration"? Thanks.

Re: [CentOS] Netinstall & NFS using local server.
by Lisandro Grullon 05 Jan '11

ok, playing around with netstat I figure all the ports that need to be open in iptables for this thing to work, I figure having the firewall down was too big of a risk so why not figuring out the ports and opening them in iptables and sharing the knowledge with you guys. The following ports are to be open: 111 tcp/udp 32803 tcp/udp 32769 udp 892 tcp/udp 875 tcp/udp 2049 tcp/udp If I only mentioned tcp or udp after the port it means either or both, if you see one/two it means both protocols must be enable. Also make sure you tweaked around you /etc/sysconfig/nfs file, I noticed that by default you need to have some of the stuff from there un-comment for it to work, I will post my file so you can use it as a skeleton to change yours. If you have any questions let me know and I will try to help you out. My nfs config bellow ( this only applies to Centos 5.5), I didn't test in another release.

using kvm

All - I am running a virtual windows 7 (pro 64) on centos 5.5 x86_64. I was hoping to run virtual XP inside windows7 in this configuration. I get an error about cannot start virtual XP when I try this. Do I not have something setup correctly or can I not run a "double" virtual environment? Thanks, Jerry

Converting to maildir
by Jason Pyeron 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

Looking for a guide on converting to Maildir. Here are our relevant specs. sendmail-8.12.11-4.RHEL3.6 (we may not be able to upgrade this due to too many modifications) imap-2002d-14 procmail-3.22-10.el3.centos.0 To a maildir setup... <rant> I was in a panic today at work because the backup server is filling up too quickly, backing up peoples email. Further it is not backing up often enough. I just lost all of today's email. I hate mbox and imap and outlook... </rant> All the maildir stuff I can find is postfix oriented. From what I can read in procmail man pages, it supports maildir and sendmail uses procmail as the LDA, hence sendmail "supports" it. -Jason -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - - - Jason Pyeron PD Inc. http://www.pdinc.us - - Principal Consultant 10 West 24th Street #100 - - +1 (443) 269-1555 x333 Baltimore, Maryland 21218 - - - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message is copyright PD Inc, subject to license 20080407P00.

Thank you for the responses, still I don't find an answer. I am learning Centos from the ground up, I need to learn how to install this via NFS. I am aware that FTp and HTTP and options available, but what is the point of having NFS during the install if it doesn't work. I need to find a way to get the installation going at least for learning purposes. If you have any clues give me a hand, I am not planning to have to running in my environment but at least i would have the concept under my belt.

noob question about mock
by nux＠li.nux.ro 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

Hi, Been recently more and more tempted to use mock for building rpms, but looking at it I have one problem. As far as I could read about it, mock essentially rebuilds srpms so to use it I would need a separate "classical" build environment to create those srpms in the first place. Am I right or did I get something terribly wrong? Cheers! -- Nux! www.nux.ro

Anyone using PHP52 packages from iuscommunity.org?
by robert mena 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

Hi, I need to use PHP 5.2 in my Centos 5.X servers. I've been using the one found in Testing for more than a year without problems but I feel that it is not being updated in a while, specially with the security issues. I found a post about this iuscommunity.org which maintains 5.2 and 5.3 rpm packages for Centos/RedHat but I'd like to know if anyone in this is using the 5.2 packages in a production environment.
