Outbound traffic spike every 30 minutes
by Bowie Bailey 04 Dec '13

04 Dec '13

Since Sunday morning, one of my CentOS servers has been generating a small spike of outbound traffic every 30 minutes (X:00 and X:30). It's not enough traffic to really cause any notice except for the fact that it is a very regular pattern and it started abruptly at midnight Sunday. This server is used for mail (Courier-MTA), and DNS (Bind). I cannot find anything unusual in either of those logs. I tried grepping through my firewall logs, but have been unable to find anything useful there either. I don't see any cron jobs that would generate network traffic. Any suggestions how I can go about tracking this down? -- Bowie

driver disk in kickstart...
by John Doe 04 Dec '13

04 Dec '13

Hi, I need to add a driver in my usb install key kickstart to handle some crap hp fake raid. The thing is the "driverdisk" option offers "partition" or some network options. I would like to put everything on the key, so no network. Does "partition" mean it is restricted to the "/" of it? Does it mean that either I have to extract the .img file in the "/" of my usb key (a bit messy), or that I need to create another partition just for it? Thx, JD

Query on make
by Rajagopal Swaminathan 04 Dec '13

04 Dec '13

Greetings, I have created several scripts which needs to be packaged. I have done my groundwork on rpmbuild Let us say I have 4 directories with scripts in them dir1, dir2, dir3 and dir4 I want to create different packages which will contain the compiled code (err.. shc) pack1: dir1,dir2 pack2: dir1,dir3 pack3: dir1,dir3 I want the resulting rpm packages will be residing elsewhere (perhaps BUILDROOT). Now I am aware of using different specfiles But When and how do I compile the packages? Using makefiles? Can it produce different variants? I am a bit confused as to the workflow. the sources cannot be part of eithr the srpm or the deliverable rpms. Please note that this project will be maintained by someone else with unknown familiarity. Any suggestions, pointers, help etc. please? Thanks in advance -- Regards, Rajagopal

Hi All, I have a marvel chipset for my wired laptop connection. It uses the kmod-sk98lin-10.93.3.3-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm driver at elrepo. I would like to use this driver to activate the wired connection to kickstart my laptop as I have pxe booting set upon my home network. Could anyone please enlighten me as to how to get the drivers/firmware from this package loaded on my laqptop so I can use kickstart to load the OS, please? Thank you for your time, Phil -- To err, is human To never grow up, is divine

Automated LSI card management.
by Grant Keller 04 Dec '13

04 Dec '13

Hello, I am trying to come up with a way to auto add new servers deployed with LSI raid cards to the MegaRaid Software management server. From the gui, it looks like I can add them by IP manually, or have the control server scan for hosts with the MegaRaid client software, which only works if the host is on the same network. Anybody ever work with this software and done something like this? -- Grant Keller Sonic.net System Operations

What port? tcp or udp? ------Mensaje original------ De: Bowie Bailey Remitente: centos-bounces(a)centos.org Para: CentOS mailing list Responder a: CentOS mailing list Asunto: [CentOS] Outbound traffic spike every 30 minutes Enviado: 3 de dic de 2013 19:36 Since Sunday morning, one of my CentOS servers has been generating a small spike of outbound traffic every 30 minutes (X:00 and X:30). It's not enough traffic to really cause any notice except for the fact that it is a very regular pattern and it started abruptly at midnight Sunday. This server is used for mail (Courier-MTA), and DNS (Bind). I cannot find anything unusual in either of those logs. I tried grepping through my firewall logs, but have been unable to find anything useful there either. I don't see any cron jobs that would generate network traffic. Any suggestions how I can go about tracking this down? -- Bowie _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos Diego Sanchez Sent from my mobile

Story of an email
by Timothy Murphy 03 Dec '13

03 Dec '13

I'm running postfix + dovecot on my CentOS server, together with amavisd, clamd and spamassassin, following the instructions in <http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/postfix>. As far as I can see it is all working, but I must admit I'm not clear exactly what path an incoming email travels along. I asked this question before, and someone suggested a document I should read, but unfortunately I've mislaid the note I made at the time. So if someone could enlighten me - or point to a source of enlightenment - I should be most grateful. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

kvm: vm root fs becomes ro
by Paul Heinlein 03 Dec '13

I've a the following happen a couple times now, and my internet searches are failing to locate an answer to the problem. We've got a few servers that primarily house VMs using KVM. They've got E-3 cpus and 32 GB RAM, and they run stock CentOS 6.4, fully patched (not yet migrated to 6.5). The VM disk images are housed on an NFS server. None of the VMs is particularly resource-hungry. They run a variety of Linux distros: CentOS 5/6, Debian 6/7. I'll start to see the VMs fail to write files to their local filesytems. No machine in the chain has rebooted or been updated in any significant way, but the root filesystem is off-limits. (This will happen on just one of our servers; the other VM platforms run without issue.) In /var/log/messages, I'll see the following entry for each impacted VM: <date> <host> kernel: kvm: <pid>: cpu0 disabled perfctr wrmsr: 0xc1 data 0xabcd In /var/log/libvirt/qemu/<vm-name>.log, I'll see block I/O error in device 'drive-virtio-disk0': Stale file handle (116) Oddly, the underlying host might be running, say, five VMs, but only four of them will get the log messages, and show the read-only symptoms, while the fifth just keeps chugging along. Googling suggests that the "disabled perfctr wrmsr" message is harmless, but my experience suggests otherwise. Any hints, workarounds, or relevent information is very welcome. Thanks! -- Paul Heinlein heinlein(a)madboa.com 45°38' N, 122°6' W
