Today's Topics: 1. Release for CentOS-6.1 i386 and x86_64 (Karanbir Singh) 2. Release for CentOS-6.1 LiveCD i386 and x86_64 (Karanbir Singh) 3. Release for CentOS-6.1 LiveDVD i386 and x86_64 (Karanbir Singh) 4. Release for CentOS-6.1 Minimal i386 and x86_64 (Karanbir Singh) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Sat, 10 Dec 2011 00:09:53 +0000 From: Karanbir Singh <kbsingh(a)centos.org> Subject: [CentOS-announce] Release for CentOS-6.1 i386 and x86_64 To: CentOS Announcements List <centos-announce(a)centos.org> Message-ID: <4EE2A351.6000709(a)centos.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS-6.1 install media for i386 and x86_64 Architectures. Release Notes for 6.1 are availble at http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS6.1 - we recommend everyone looks through those once. CentOS-6.1 is based on the upstream release EL 6.1 and includes packages from all variants. All upstream repositories have been combined into one, to make it easier for end users to work with. All machines running CentOS-Release-CR on 6.0 would already be running code that is included in the 6.1 install media. We highly recommend everyone use the CR repository in order to get all bugfix and security updates as soon as possible. More information on the CR repository can be found at : http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR +++++++++++++++++++++++ Upgrading from CentOS-4 or CentOS-5: We recommend everyone run through a reinstall rather than attempt an inplace upgrade from CentOS-4 or CentOS-5 +++++++++++++++++++++++ Downloading CentOS-6.1 for new installs: When possible, consider using torrents to run the downloads. In most cases you will find its also the fastest means to download the distro. There are currently over a thousand people seeding CentOS-6 and it's possible to get upto 100mbps downloads via these torrents. Torrent files for the DVD's are available at : http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.1/isos/i386/CentOS-6.1-i386-bin-DVD1to2.t… http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.1/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.1-x86_64-bin-DVD1t… You can also use a mirror close to you : http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=30 Most mirrors will allow direct DVD downloads over http, ftp and rsync. Please keep in mind that not all mirrors are currently updated, some might take upto another 24 hours before they have all the content. +++++++++++++++++++++++ sha1sum for the CentOS-6.1 ISOS: i386: 2ef1eb330efeb8bca5646700481b1a645f726bdb CentOS-6.1-i386-bin-DVD1.iso e12d7f473fa7f13931738f3c37f57d99e66c2ff2 CentOS-6.1-i386-bin-DVD2.iso b0163bcf2777b9c19542a89106094aafea45f3aa CentOS-6.1-i386-netinstall.iso x86_64: 6cf7de61f851bbdb6859ce0a33d65d9554219509 CentOS-6.1-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso 7bfd52eaa5ada445982c3f528c1f481bbcda85c8 CentOS-6.1-x86_64-bin-DVD2.iso 2d0e5c3c91717996c7d3d35658f79ccac767b564 CentOS-6.1-x86_64-netinstall.iso +++++++++++++++++++++++ Sources and Debuginfo packages: SRPMS and debuginfo packages are still making their way to the CentOS mirrors and should be available within the next 24 to 48 hours. We are prioritising the centos modified packages. In order to speed up the release process for these packages, we are releasing them directly into vault.centos.org; this drastically reduces the amount of traffic generated for the mirrors and makes it possible for us to publish them in sync with the binary code. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Getting Help: The best place to start when looking for help with CentOS is at the wiki ( http://wiki.centos.org/GettingHelp ) which lists various options and communities who might be able to help. If you think there is a bug in the system, do report it at http://bugs.centos.org/ - but keep in mind that the bugs system is *not* a support mechanism. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Contributing and joining the project: We are always looking for people to join and help with various things in the project. If you are keen to help out a good place to start is the wiki page at http://wiki.centos.org/Contribute . If you have questions or a specific area you would like to contribute towards that is not covered on that page, feel free to drop in on #centos-devel(a)irc.freenode.net for a chat or email the centos-devel list (http://lists.centos.org) +++++++++++++++++++++++ Thanks to everyone who contributed towards making 6.1, specially the enormous effort put in by everyone on the QA team.

Detailed Release Notes are available at http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSLiveCD6.1 +++++++++++++++++++++++ Overview The CentOS-6.1 LiveCD is meant to be a Linux environment suited to be run directly from either CD media or USB storage devices. It does not need any persistent storage on a machine, which also makes it a suitable recovery environment. Due to space constraints, it was not possible to include all the traditional desktop applications on the LiveCD. You can though enjoy a Gnome basic desktop, view and modify pictures with gthumb, browsing the web with Firefox, send emails with Thunderbird and connect to your favorite Instant Messaging network with Pidgin Note that the package manifest has changed slightly from the LiveCD6.0 release: Gimp has been removed and rdesktop,tigervnc,vinagre and tsclient have been added. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Download SHA256SUMs : 12a5bfbc0e4cfa1ebf9733c71c3e541a75b74db457f261ed46039b5714b2fee3 CentOS-6.1-x86_64-LiveCD.iso f9a9b245b7e5e45a7998ba91be8545dfaa738da771fa42ba91ecca5496f8f13f CentOS-6.1-i386-LiveCD.iso The CentOS-6.1 LiveCD is released to all external mirrors and available for download now. List of mirrors is available at these urls : http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/6/isos/i386/ http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/6/isos/x86_64/ We have also published torrents for the CentOS-6.1 LiveCDs : http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/isos/i386/CentOS-6.1-i386-LiveCD.torrent http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.1-x86_64-LiveCD.torr… Once you download the images, its important to verify contents using the sha256sum utility, against the published sums here. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Notes You can now install the Live environment to your hard disk (which wasn?t possible with the 5.x Live medias). Please note that you need more that 512Mb of ram to be able to use that ?install to hard drive? feature (If you have less than 512Mb of ram, you can install to disk but in text-mode, meaning that instead of clicking on the desktop icon, you have to launch a gnome-terminal and launch the ?liveinst? command from within the terminal) There is no upstream Live media product. The Live media produced within the CentOS Project is based on and around the livemedia tools from the Fedora Project. These LiveCD?s only contains content found within the primary CentOS-6.1 distribution. No package from outside the distribution was included and no package has been changed from whats included in the base distribution. We appreciate all forms of feedback about these LiveCD, including specific application inclusion requests or feature changes in future releases.

The minimal install iso media is an alternative install to the main CentOS-6.1 distribution and comes with a trimmed down, preselected rpm list. However, it still runs off the standard installer, with all the regular features that one would expect from the main distribution, except the rpm selection screen has been disabled. Running an install from this media will not allow you to change the rpms selected for install. Release Notes for this media can be found at : http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSMinimalCD6.1 +++++++++++++++++++++++ Download SHA256SUMs : 07a86e905f4c389eb92d4e5a04d0a2c4e583dbcbf2243781107273117b31628c CentOS-6.1-i386-minimal.iso 971fb86182814c7a4e4712d37831a87a28611b5332af1efa6322b818ae6a0d48 CentOS-6.1-x86_64-minimal.iso The ISO files are avilable at : http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/6/isos/i386/ http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/6/isos/x86_64/ Since the size for these files is relatively small, no torrent files are being released. +++++++++++++++++++++++ NOTES: We have tried to test this install for most deployment roles, including VMs and physical machines. And with lvm, mdraid, iscsi and dm-multipath environments. These images also contain the complete recovery and rescue environment found in the main distribution. You should be able to use these images from CD media, DVD media, USB storage devices. We do not recommend these images be used with kickstart files written for the main CentOS distro images. An install will setup yum to work with the regular default CentOS 6.1 repositories. Once the installed machine instace boots it should work just like a regular CentOS machine, with only the bare minimal rpms installed. All package management, networking and storage related functionality should already be in place. +++++++++++++++++++++++ There is no upstream Minimal media product. These ISOs only contains content found within the primary CentOS-6.1 distribution. No package from outside the distribution was included and no package has been changed from whats included in the base distribution. We appreciate all forms of feedback about these images, including specific application inclusion requests or feature changes in future releases. The best place to provide this feedback is via the centos-devel mailing list ( http://lists.centos.org/ ) and feature requests via the issue tracker ( http://bugs.centos.org/ ). Special thanks to Manuel Wolfshant for requesting and then doing a lot of the work to make the minimal disk images happen; And everyone on the CentOS QA team who contributed their time and resources towards testing these images.

Combining CentOS 6.1 DVD images
by Steve Snyder 10 Dec '11

10 Dec '11

I would like to create a single installation directory from the DVD1 and DVD2 CentOS 6.1 release DVD images, suitable for network (NFS) installation. If I mount each of the ISO images and copy their files to a single directory, will that work? That is, are the files on each DVD unique such that I won't be overwriting any files from DVD1 when doing the DVD2 copy? Will pointing a CentOS network installation (CentOS-6.1-i386-netinstall.iso) at this directory satisfy it at runtime for the files needed to do a full 6.1 install? Thanks.

rhost= does not include IP in /var/log/secure
by b.j. mcclure 10 Dec '11

10 Dec '11

For a couple months or so I have noticed that failed dovecot logins do not print the offending IP address in /var/log/secure which prevents fail2ban from blocking appropriate ports. All had worked well for several years. Box is 5.7 fully updated. I found this bug against cyrus-sasl which sounds like it might be related: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=683797 On the box in question, > rpm -q cyrus-sasl cyrus-sasl-2.1.22-5.el5_4.3 Is anyone else seeing this? Thanks in advance. B.J. --

ZFS magic (was: Backup Redux)

Anyway, I have a ZFS storage unit here and this is my first exposure to it so I don't really know about any of this ZFS magic that I often hear about. I'm sure I could google and find some reading on the matter but am wondering if anyone has some recommended reading that is concise and to the point, and will give me a good intro. -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"
