Re: [CentOS] Dual Boot Windows 8 & CentOS 6.4
by Amit Joshi 21 Sep '13

21 Sep '13

Sorry for top posting but this windows phone doesn't let me edit replies! I agree that virtualbox or VMware is an easier option, but the RHCSA exam objectives require me to have knowledge about KVM. I will be running multiple virtual instances of centos from within centos. There is this EFI partition on the hard disk. Not sure what to do with it. Also its different from the good old bios, this EFI won't let my USB drive boot!

It's less likely that you'd accidentally corrupt your Windows 8 setup that way. Some of the virtualization options might come in handy as well, by letting you do things like rolling back to a snapshot, etc., that might help you to repeatedly try different things without risk of having to keep reinstalling CentOS for each thing you want to try. I don't hear as much about dual boot setups these days, likely because most people just run both operating systems at the same time now... -Greg _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

NFS mounted files owned by nobody
by Larry Martell 20 Sep '13

20 Sep '13

I have 2 centos boxes and I want to NFS mount a dir from one to the other. When I do that the files on the client all are owned by nobody.nobody. I verified that the user and group of the files on the server exist on both hosts and have the same uid and gid. I googled and found this: http://whacked.net/2006/07/26/nfsv4nfs-mapid-nobody-domain/ domainname on both machines returns (none). I edited /etc/resolve.conf on both and put 'domain foobar' as the first line in both. But then when I did a 'service network restart' the files were re-written and my changes were gone. On one system /etc/resolve.conf says "Generated by NetworkManager". On the other system it says "generated by /sbin/dhclient-script" (I didn't set these systems up.) I don't even know if this domain stuff is even the correct solution. I just want the NFS mounted dir to retain the real user ownership it has on the server. How can I achieve that? Thanks! -larry (Who's not a sysadmin, and doesn't even play one on TV

Centos 5.0 Printer Reshare
by John Krautkramer 20 Sep '13

20 Sep '13

Hi, I have a number of networked printers configured on my server. Some are mounts from other SMB servers, some are directly connected via socket://ip_address:9100. I can't find how to allow other Unix/Linux machines to use these printers. I need to re-share them for use by these other machines. Any ideas or direction to look? Best Regards, John

why kdm crashes
by Miranda Hawarden-Ogata 19 Sep '13

19 Sep '13

We have a pretty standard installation of CentOS 6.4 on our workstations. We've been running into issues where kdm crashes every once in a while when someone tries to log in on the console. The only way to recover when it happens seems to be to restart kdm (kill -HUP `pgrep -f /usr/bin/kdm`) (or reboot of course) and it never seems to happen twice in a row. I am not sure where to start looking to see why kdm would crash like this so intermittently. Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? -- Thanks! Miranda

SAMBA update appears to have breoken WinShare connectivity
by James B. Byrne 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

We have a very old MS-Windows domain running on a Win2K advanced server. After the most recent update to Samba it appears that we can no longer connect to shares on that system from our CentOS-6.4 workstations. Is this a known problem or configuration issue that we need to address through local modifications or do we have to roll back to the older version to regain connectivity?

How to use watchdog daemon with hardware watchdog driver interface?
by Alexander Farber 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

Good morning! On a CentOS 6.4 / 64 bit server I have installed the watchdog 5.5 package. The rpm -qi watchdog states: The watchdog program can be used as a powerful software watchdog daemon or may be alternately used with a hardware watchdog device such as the IPMI hardware watchdog driver interface to a resident Baseboard Management Controller (BMC). ... This configuration file is also used to set the watchdog to be used as a hardware watchdog instead of its default software watchdog operation. In the dmesg output of my server ( full text at http://pastebin.com/GbF7dRt7 ) I see such a device: NMI watchdog enabled, takes one hw-pmu counter. ... ipmi message handler version 39.2 IPMI System Interface driver. ipmi_si: Adding default-specified kcs state machine ipmi_si: Trying default-specified kcs state machine at i/o address 0xca2, slave address 0x0, irq 0 ipmi_si: Interface detection failed ipmi_si: Adding default-specified smic state machine ipmi_si: Trying default-specified smic state machine at i/o address 0xca9, slave address 0x0, irq 0 ipmi_si: Interface detection failed ipmi_si: Adding default-specified bt state machine ipmi_si: Trying default-specified bt state machine at i/o address 0xe4, slave address 0x0, irq 0 ipmi_si: Interface detection failed ipmi_si: Unable to find any System Interface(s) ... iTCO_vendor_support: vendor-support=0 iTCO_wdt: Intel TCO WatchDog Timer Driver v1.07rh iTCO_wdt: Found a Lynx Point TCO device (Version=2, TCOBASE=0x1860) iTCO_wdt: initialized. heartbeat=30 sec (nowayout=0) My question is: what should I put into /etc/watchdog.conf to enable the hardware watchdog instead of the default software watchdog mode? I've also asked this question at http://serverfault.com/questions/539816/how-to-use-watchdog-daemon-with-har… Thank you Alex
