odd mcelogd problem
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

CentOS 6.4, 2.6.32-358.11.1.el6.x86_64 (And no, I can't just upgrade - the users have to be sure that the computational results will be correct....) It's throwing ECC errors. Trying to start mcelogd, first it said nothing. Restart told me "Please load edac_mce_amd module." I did a modprobe edac_mce_amd, and lsmod tells me it's in. But now service mcelogd restart Stopping mcelog Starting mcelog daemon [FAILED] AMD Processor family 16: Please load edac_mce_amd module. [FAILED] And in messages, mcelog: CPU is unsupported#012: Success "Success"? Anyone have any ideas what I'm missing; why I've loaded what it says it needs, and it still thinks it needs it? mark

I registered at EnterpriseSamba in the belief (prehaps mistaken) that this was the Samba project core team's public 'brand'. I have the sernet-samba rpm installed already. I also have the sernet-Samba-ad service running and promoted to a DC on my existing AD Domain already. >From what I can discover sernet-samba-4.1.4 seems to mostly work. I just lack the experience to give me confidence in committing to Samba in place of our existing W2K AD DC. Eroding what confidence I do have is that I have encountered a number of issues where the samba-tool utility simply breaks and gives what appears to be an abbreviated a stack trace along with some pretty startling error messages, containing words like "PANIC" and "unhandled exception". For that reason I have subscribed to the Samba mailing list. I get the message traffic from that list. And I have received my own messages to the list back as well as see them in the list archives as well, thus confirming that my messages were delivered. What I am unable to do is to get any response to any of the questions I have posted respecting the errors I have encountered. I get nothing. It is as if I had never written. So, I am seeking an alternative support venue, if such exists, where I might get some answers. If there is none then I will simply re-post my original messages to the samba list until I get some sort of response, even if it is only an expression of irritation. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Novel is long gone from the picture. Presently Mono is a Ximian project (http://www.mono-project.com) which is where it started as far as I can recall.

Centos-compatible motherboards
by Fred Smith 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

Hi all! I'm toying with the idea of spending some Christmas money on a new MB and CPU to upgrade my desktop. Although I've always been partial to AMD chips, I'm tempted this time to find something Intel-ish, I5, quad core, or so. In looking at mommyboards at New Egg and Amazon, I find so many I am unable to make reasonable determinations regarding suitability, so am hoping some of you who have new(ish) intel-compatible boards could offer some hints. Also, I'd like to keep the cost of MB, CPU and RAM to no more (or little more) than $300-350. (seeing as how apparently mid-range I5 chips cost over 200 each, that may be a vain hope.) I expect that the newest ones may work with something bleeding edge like Fedora (et al), but I like centos for my desktop since it doesn't have the ridiculous churn rate of the more aggressive distros. I can't bring myself to relish the thought of rebuilding my main desktop twice a year (or even once a year). So, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- The Lord detests the way of the wicked but he loves those who pursue righteousness. ----------------------------- Proverbs 15:9 (niv) -----------------------------

A puzzle with grub-install
by Timothy Murphy 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

I ran into a problem when using grub-install experimentally in what is obviously a foolish way, since I was unable to boot the machine afterwards. I got round the problem, as I shall explain, but I'm still interested to know why the problem arose. Having added a second hard disk to my CentOS-6.5 server, as an experiment I gave the command grub-install /dev/sdb after checking (with fdisk) that the new disk was indeed sdb, while the disk on which CentOS is running remains sda. I assumed that this would leave the MBR on sda unchanged, so that I would be able to boot to the current system as before. But I found that this was not the case; on rebooting the machine hung, with a repeating "-" on the screen. The only way I was able to recover the current system was to use a CentOS Live USB stick I had to install CentOS on a spare partition (sda12). With that system running I was able to mount the old system (on sdb10) as /mnt, and the boot partition (sdb2) as /mnt/boot, and then give the command grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda On re-booting the old system came up. (I may say I also tried to run grub-install from the USB stick, but was completely unable to do this so as to re-install the old system. Basically, the old disk had become sdb, while the USB stick was sda. So I mounted /dev/sdb10 as /mnt and /dev/sdb2 as /mnt/boot, and gave the command grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdb I then removed the USB stick, and tried - unsuccessfully - to re-start the machine.) But I'm puzzled by my experience, which seems to suggest that running grub-install /dev/sdb actually affects the MBR on sda. Or have I misunderstood in some way? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

OT hard disk geometry
by Timothy Murphy 10 Feb '14

10 Feb '14

My only excuse for asking this question here is that I am running CentOS-6.5 on my HP MicroServer. I recently purchased a 2TB WD hard drive (WD20ESRX), and was surprised to find that the power-connector on this drive did not seem to be in the correct place for the drive-bay. (The drive bay closes, but the disk does not spin.) The power connector on the drive is further from the SATA connectors than on the other 4 drives I have in my two MicroServers - it is about 2/3 of the way across the back of the drive, on the opposite side to the SATA connectors. I'm surprised because I always thought that the positions of the connectors on SATA hard drives was standard. How can I find whether or not a hard drive will connect properly in the drive-bay? Was I unlucky to choose a drive that did not fit? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

bind (named) compromised?
by James Pifer 10 Feb '14

10 Feb '14

I'm having problems where my upstream bandwidth is being saturated. I've narrowed it down to a DNS issue of some type. If I stop the named service then my bandwidth drops to "normal" according to my untangle firewall. I'm running bind-9.3.6-20.P1.el5_8.6. I'm seeing the following in /var/log/messages: 2014-02-08T23:03:09.558315-05:00 mailserver named[3497]: network unreachable resolving 'hccforums.nl/ANY/IN': 2a00:1188:5::212#53 2014-02-08T23:03:09.558441-05:00 mailserver named[3497]: network unreachable resolving 'hccforums.nl/ANY/IN': 2001:7b8:606::85#53 2014-02-08T23:03:10.008926-05:00 mailserver named[3497]: client 174.128.253.163#5209: view external: no more recursive clients: quota reached 2014-02-08T23:03:11.001878-05:00 mailserver named[3497]: client 173.234.39.133#5209: view external: no more recursive clients: quota reached 2014-02-08T23:03:12.000487-05:00 mailserver named[3497]: client 173.234.39.133#5209: view external: no more recursive clients: quota reached 2014-02-08T23:03:13.000820-05:00 mailserver named[3497]: client 173.234.39.133#5209: view external: no more recursive clients: quota reached 2014-02-08T23:03:14.001501-05:00 mailserver named[3497]: client 192.126.118.105#5209: view external: no more recursive clients: quota reached 2014-02-08T23:03:15.005720-05:00 mailserver named[3497]: client 192.126.118.105#5209: view external: no more recursive clients: quota reached I've tried changing the following in /etc/named.conf but it doesn't seem to have any affect so I commented them back out. tcp-clients 1000; recursive-clients 10000; I also see a chroot directory, but if I grep for named it doesn't appear to be using the chroot(?): # ps aux | grep named named 3497 0.4 0.7 170088 15836 ?

Much appreciated. James
