Eeek, my centos6 box won't boot after broken update, need help w/ yum
by wwp 09 Feb '12

09 Feb '12

Hello there, I think I've shutdown my box right in the middle of a yum update.. The latest kernel installed won't simple boot, and the old one can, but only in init 3 mode (tty). From a console, I wanted to complete the yum update and it suggested me to do a `yum-complete-transaction`. yum-complete-transaction tells me that 447 elements are left to run in 1 transaction, runs and show lots of "Removing <packagename> - ud from the transaction" then processes lots of stuff, and ends with listing lots of duplicate packages (mostly Xorg stuff) and.. and that's all. Same stuff if I start that command again. A `yum cleanup` doesn't change it. Any hint how I could get of that deadly loop? Regards, -- wwp

sar -n DEV does not show bonded interfaces
by Sean Carolan 08 Feb '12

08 Feb '12

Anyone know how to get statistics on bonded interfaces? I have a system that does not use eth0-3, rather we have bond0, bond1, bond2. The members of each bond are not eth0-3, rather they are eth6, eth7, etc. I didn't see anything in the man page about forcing sar to collect data on specific network interfaces.

Centos 5.6 3ware raid 5
by Ken Smith 08 Feb '12

08 Feb '12

Hi, I've seen comments about the poor performance of these cards with raid 5 configs. I have an old card with 3 x 500G IDE drives connected in raid 5 and I'm getting around 10mb/s write performance. :-( I'm seeing high iowait figures at times and associated very high cpu load average figures, probably because, under load, everything is stacked up waiting for the disks to actually do something. A non-raid sata disk in the same machine manages 70mb/s Does anyone know what the performance is like if I used the 3ware just as an IDE controller? I could then switch to software raid5?

PCIe AER support in 5.5
by Baylis, Neil 08 Feb '12

08 Feb '12

I have a question about getting PCIe advanced error reporting to work on 5.5. The info I need to start with is the following: 1) Is PCIe Advanced Error Reporting (including error injections) known to work in 5.5? 2) What configuration options do I need to select in order to enable it? I'm using the following configs: CONFIG_ACPI=y CONFIG_PCI=y CONFIG_PCI_DIRECT=y CONFIG_PCI_MMCONFIG=y CONFIG_PCIEPORTBUS=y CONFIG_PCIEAER=y CONFIG_PCIE_ECRC=y CONFIG_PCIE_AER_INJECT=y CONFIG_PCI_DOMAINS=y CONFIG_PCI_MSI=y I also have the kernel boot parameter aerdriver.forceload=y With this config, I see that the relevant devices appear to support Advanced Error Reporting (visible in lspci -v output). However, when I attempt to inject errors to them the injections fail for various reasons. None of them (out of about a dozen candidate devices) succeeds. The aer_inject facility is currently the only means I have of testing this functionality. Note that on the same hardware with a RHEL-6 based (2.6.32) kernel, the injections work correctly. I need to make them also work with 5.5. Before I go and track down those various errors, I want to verify that I have the right kernel and that it's configured correctly. The required code seems to be present in the kernel. I suspect there's something going wrong during driver initialization and device probing. Once again, I need answers to these two specific questions: 1) Is PCIe Advanced Error Reporting (including error injections) known to work in 5.5? 2) What configuration options do I need to select in order to enable it? Thanks, Neil Baylis

about major version upgrades
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

Hi all, In http://goo.gl/Krjfh I read: +++++++++++++++++++++++ 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 +++++++++++++++++++++++ Do you ever now if that advice will be up to date for the 6 to 7 upgrade? What is the preferred upgrade process if some want to upgrade inplace? I mostly run virtual guest in a one-VM-per-service (MySQL, php, Mail, DNS, NFS/SMB) basis, with a main + spare physical machine. I'm installing 6.2 on our dev servers and try to pre-evaluate the amount of work when 7 will be released. -- RMA.

network intermitent, not sure if virtualization issue
by Bob Hoffman 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

I have a computer I am using to host a virtual machine. Centos 6, for both, 64 bit. The host machine's network connection seems fine. No problems. Trying to access the virtual machine is usually fine. but then, poof, ssh, http, ftp, all lose connection for about a minute. Then they come back up. I looked in all the logs on both machines, could find nothing, but not sure where to look. My question, would this be a setting on the VM as a webserver, some new centos 6 setting that just times out network when not in use? Or something that I did when I bonded my eth ports and bridged them? The bond covers the two onboard eth ports and one port from an add on network card. It is intermittent, seems to happen whenever, but service network restart on the webserver seems to fix it immediately, but it also just fixes itself too. is there some setting with centos 6 that must be changed to allow constant 'uptime' of the network?

SSD Drives
by Matt 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

Has anyone installed a high I/O application such as an email server on SSD drives? Was thinking about doing two SSD's in RAID1. It would solve my I/O latency issues but I have heard that SSD's wear out quickly in high I/O situations? Something like each memory location only has X many writes before its done. Just wandering if anyone has tested it and if newer SSD's are better about this?
