Runaway rpm process?
by James B. Byrne 12 Jul '13

12 Jul '13

CentOS-6.4_x86_64 I have a KVM virtual machine (several actually) which acts as a warm spare for another kvm instance running on a different physical host. Each hour it backs up the live system using rsync. This morning I discovered that the backup instance was running at 99% utilisation and that the process consuming the entire virtual cpu was this: sh -c rpm -q -a --queryformat "%{NAME}\n%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}\n%{EPOCH}\n%{GROUP}\n%{SUMMARY}\n\n" 2>/dev/null In fact there were two identical instances of these processes, one the parent of the other. The vm instance does not have access to the internet as its physical host is connected to the physical host of the live kvm using a x-over patch cable. Where is this process started from? What does it do? And why is it consuming so much cpu.? Does anyone here have any ideas? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

CentOS 6.4 with VMWare Fusion on MBA 2013
by Alexander Farber 12 Jul '13

12 Jul '13

Hello, is anybody successfully using CentOS 6.4 with VMWare Fusion 5 on a Macbook? I have tried moving a CentOS 6.4 VM from VMWare Workstation on Win 7 (where it works well) to VMWare Fusion on a Macbook Air (2013) and when it boots it says: Detected CPU family 6 model 69 unsupported hardware device After that a progress bar is displayed at the bottom and "CentOS 6.4" on the right bottom. The progress bar fills and then - nothing happens Thank you for any hints Alex

problems with apache downgrade
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 11 Jul '13

11 Jul '13

There was an upgrade on a couple of our servers yesterday, mid-afternoon our time, of httpd and httpd-devel, and suddenly SiteMinder (bleah) stopped working correctly, and is now pegging a cpu, according to top. So, as a last resort, I tried downgrading both of them. When I did so, the server that uses ssl *erased* mod-ssl, not downgrading it, and I'll have to find where I can get the previous version tomorrow... but that shouldn't happen, I should think. Downgrade *should* get everything, unless it's brand new, and this isn't. mark

Slow TCP performance from Win2k8R2 guests under Linux KVM
by Gordon Messmer 11 Jul '13

11 Jul '13

Would anyone be so kind as to test the performance of TCP streams on Windows 2k8R2 guests of KVM virt servers? virtio-win-1.6.3 was published to address a problem described as "low performance" on Win2k8 guests. Actual performance was not recorded in the bug report. On my KVM servers, Windows 2k8R2 guests are able to send data at less than 4Mbps. I test this by using netcat on Windows and piping a file to its input. The receiving end of the transfer is an un-virtualized CentOS system. Transfer rate is measured by selecting the stream in iptraf while it is active. UDP transfers, such as by CIFS, will send data at around 400Mbps. TCP transfers from Windows 2012 or Windows 8 are not similarly affected. The same driver for Win2k8 was published by Red Hat in virtio-win 1.6.3, 1.6.4, and 1.6.5. Does anyone see TCP transfer rates from Win2k8R2 that don't look ridiculously slow? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=859882 http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2013-0441.html http://joncraton.org/blog/46/netcat-for-windows

KVM USB passthrough bug
by Emiliano Mariño 11 Jul '13

11 Jul '13

Dear list members, I'm having trouble with KVM after updating (centos 6.3). The issue is very similar to this one on Fedora 19: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=862915 Does anyone know which packages do I have to downgrade to bypass the bug until solved? Thanks, Emiliano

postfix as default MTA
by Devin Reade 11 Jul '13

11 Jul '13

I noticed when CentOS 6 came out that RHEL had moved to postfix vice sendmail as the default MTA. I had never heard the rationale given, it always sat on the back burner, but I was reminded of the question the other day when I was dealing with a related topic. I don't want to get into a pissing contest about how one MTA is obviously better than the other, nor why others think that I should prefer one over the other, but I *would* like to know what rational (if any) RedHat gave on the move. My google-fu hasn't been successful in finding it and I didn't see anything in the CentOS archives on the topic. Does anyone remember the reasoning, if given? In particular, I'm wondering if it was due to integration with any other specific subsystem or software product. Devin

CentOS Dojo and Barbecue - Aldershot, UK on 12th July 2013
by Karanbir Singh 11 Jul '13

11 Jul '13

Hi, The next CentOS Dojo is coming to Aldershot, UK - a 45 min train ride from London Waterloo station - on the 12th July 2013. We have a great, and growing list of speakers already on the agenda, and another few waiting to confirm. And, the venue sponsors - catn.com - are going to organise a hog roast barbecue and beet for everyone attending once the talks are done ( 4pm'ish ). So another great reason to come along and say hi. Details on the day: http://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/Aldershot2013 Registration URL : http://centosdojoaldershot.eventbrite.co.uk/# I will post another followup email once we have the agenda finalised, but if you are in the area - or can get to the area on the 12th July - I highly recommend you come along. Its going to be a great event! Regards, -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

gspca - a followup
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 11 Jul '13

11 Jul '13

I *think* the problem I've been having with the gspca_zc3xx video drivers isn't directly that driver. One of my users, on one of the two servers that broke, started having continuing crashes from where he enabled mediawiki to server thumbnails for some images. That crash, according to the [abrt] full crash report, is from /usr/bin/convert, and /var/log/messages tells me kernel: convert[1880]: segfault at 7f948fbabfe8 ip 00007f949bb97d49 sp 00007f948fbabff0 error 6 in libc-2.12.so[7f949bb20000+18a000] So, it appears to me that there was some change in either convert, or libc, that only gets hit in very, very specific cases, which I suspect has to do with the chipset. In my case, it hits a Dell PowerEdge R720, and a Penguin 1650A. Now, I find this weird, as the former is a Xeon, and the latter an older Opteron, but I can't figure out any other possible cause, since I have no problem at all with an older Penguin, with a Xeon, and one I moved the camera to, a Dell PE R415, running an Opteron. Deeply odd problem. mark
