Question on detect serial ports
by Jerry Geis 11 Jun '13

11 Jun '13

I have a small based atom machine. There are four serial ports on the machine. dmesg | grep tty shows 0, 1, 2 and 3. 2 and 3 are on interrupt 10 -and they worked. going into the BIOS COM ports 0 and 1 are also on IRQ 10 and not the standard 3,4. BIOS cannot set anything but IRQ 10, 11 for serial ports. Odd... So COM 0 and 1 dont work right away... I had to put this in the boot script. setserial /dev/ttyS1 irq 10 port 0x2e8 setserial /dev/ttyS0 irq 10 port 0x3e8 now they seem to work. I have no idea why the bios will not have IRQ 3 and 4 for com ports but I was surprised linux did not inquire from the bios and use it. Should it get that from the BIOS - or - just leave the manual setting and move on... jerry

XFS zero length file problem
by John R Pierce 10 Jun '13

10 Jun '13

we're running into a scenario similar to this with CentOS 6, zero length files after a system crash. http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2012-02/msg00607.html I'm not exactly sure which kernel version they are running in production (its in China), but I'm trying to find out. its probably a year or so old, our manufacturing operations folks do NOT like installing random updates without very good reasons. meanwhile, I wonder if anyone familiar with it knows if the fix that Dave Chinner discusses in that posting I link above has been backported to a recent EL6 kernel. -- john r pierce 37N 122W somewhere on the middle of the left coast

Appache index error on CentOS-6,4
by James B. Byrne 10 Jun '13

10 Jun '13

I am getting this error when trying to access a virtual website index by ip address and port on a host that has SELinux disabled (another issue over which I have less control than I wish): curl http://192.168.6.9:41780 | more Gives this error in /var/log/httpd/error_log [Mon Jun 10 09:04:44 2013] [error] [client 192.168.6.9] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /tftpboot/ and displays the default Centos/Apache server page instead of the list of files in the directory. This virtual host is defined thus: Listen 192.168.6.9:41780 <VirtualHost 192.168.6.9:41780> DocumentRoot "/tftpboot" <Directory "/tftpboot"> allow from all Options +Indexes </Directory> </VirtualHost> If I specify a known file within /tftpboot then that file's contents are displayed properly. It is only the index that appears to fail. So, what configuration error have I made? Why am I not getting a list of the contents of /tftpboot ? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Issue tracker question: Can I delete/replace an attachment?
by Toralf Lund 10 Jun '13

10 Jun '13

Hi. I recently uploaded a file to a certain issue in the CentOS issue tracker. I then found it wasn't quite correct, so I edited it, then tried "Upload file" again, with the same filename, but got a message saying: APPLICATION ERROR #9 This is a duplicate file. Please delete the file first. Please use the "Back" button in your web browser to return to the previous page. There you can correct whatever problems were identified in this error or select another action. You can also click an option from the menu bar to go directly to a new section. I can't find a way to "delete the file first", though. Is this possible? Is there any other way I can attach a file as a replacement for previously attached file? - Toralf This e-mail, including any attachments and response string, may contain proprietary information which is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Force to strip all symbols from ELFs when using rpmbuild on CentOS
by Santi Saez 10 Jun '13

10 Jun '13

Hello. What's the proper way to remove *all symbols* from ELF binaries when building packages with rpmbuild on CentOS? Seems that an out of the box rpmbuild install only discards debugging symbols (strip -g). That's the default configuration for %__os_install_post on CentOS, the step in charge on stripping binaries: $ rpmbuild --showrc (..) -14: __os_install_post %{_rpmconfigdir}/brp-compress %{_rpmconfigdir}/brp-strip %{_rpmconfigdir}/brp-strip-static-archive %{_rpmconfigdir}/brp-strip-comment-note ELF binaries are stripped with /usr/lib/rpm/brp-strip, this script explicitly calls to /usr/bin/strip with "-g" flag and discards only debugging symbols. Seems that the people usually installs "redhat-rpm-config" package to achieve this. Indeed it builds RPMs with all symbols removed, but it also installs some helper scripts and macros that change other behaviors, for example SRPMs are signed with SHA-256. When "redhat-rpm-config" package is installed, %__os_install_post variable is modified and find-debuginfo.sh is executed, this script will remove all symbols, but it will *also* build "-debug" packages, and that's not what I'm looking for. For the moment, I have have added another script to %__os_install_post step that removes all symbols using "strip --strip-all", but I wonder if this is the most straightforward method, thanks.

Intel 82579V ethernet nic using only one IRQ? (Dual TX RX queues)
by Alex Flex 09 Jun '13

09 Jun '13

Hello CentOS Community, So I bought a NIC (using the Intel 82579V chipset) that supports Dual RX and TX queues , my goal with that is so iam able to see and use two IRQs in /proc/interrupts and hence be able to take advantage of 2 cores on my CPU. Instead I only see one IRQ being used, and hence only one CPU core.. Please see below. Advisement is appreciated!

RHEL clone distributions being marginalized?
by David C. Miller 08 Jun '13

08 Jun '13

It appears that Redhat is starting to offer newer packages as an add on license to their distribution. In the past I believe they only offered add on license packages beyond what did not come with the base distribution like GFS or the HA packages. Of course this has also changed over time. The latest beta release of software collections and the developer suite shows that they are providing software channels that install newer versions of GCC(4.8), Python(2.7, 3.3), PHP, perl, mariadb, etc. I'm wondering if at some point Redhat is going to remove these packages from the base distribution and only have them as add on licensed channels. I guess they still need a baseline version that will stay the same for the customers who refuse to update for compatibility reasons. At this point the developer suite is a pretty good deal because you get RHEL server with most of the licensed add on channels for only $99 a year. However, you're not suppose to use it for production.. Is there a plan for the CentOS group to release these newer packages too? If these packages start being used by developers and required to run their programs/web apps I think it could marginalize RHEL clone distributions like CentOS. David.
