easily mount .iso files on CentOS
by Wes James 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

Yes I know you can use the command line to mount an iso, but does anyone know of a tool like mounty for deb systems that you can use a menu to find the iso and and mount it? Windows 8 has right-click and mount, os x has had double-click to open for years. Why do we need to revert to the command line for something like this on linux? Thanks, -wes

Getting yum to install to python 2.7 dir
by Larry Martell 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

I am running CentOS 6.5, which has python 2.6. I need python 2.7 so I installed that and it works and is my default python. But yum does not work with that, so I changed the shebang line for yum to /usr/bin/python2.6 and then yum works again. But when I install a python package with yum it get installed to /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/. How can I get yum to install to /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages? Thanks!

Ext4 mess .... and EXT4-fs error (device sdc): ext4_mb_generate_buddy
by Götz Reinicke - IT Koordinator 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

Hi, I'm faced with a very strange behaviour: Centos 6.5 server, Hardware ISCSI HBA from Emulex OneConnect, most recent drivers and firmware from emulex installed. Directly attached a 10G ISCSI Storage from QSan. Two Raid volumes, Raid 5, 8 Disks each at 2 TB so 14 TB each logic raid volume. Both volumes are logged in and usable as sdb and sdc to the server. Formatted with ext4 -m 0 -v /dev/sd... Now I copied about 600 GB from an old server to one of the new volumes. No problems at all. But moving other data from the old server to the second volume shows the error in the logs: EXT4-fs error (device sdc): ext4_mb_generate_buddy: EXT4-fs: group 2592: 0 blocks in bitmap, 24544 in gd group grows by 16. But the more strange thing I realised today is, that all the data on the first volume (on sdb) shows up on sdc as well + the new data too. Now I'm totally confused and currently there are no more messages in the system log. The files on sdc don't show up on sdb! If I do e.g. a md5sum on the files on both volumes they are the same as is the contents of e.g. some textfiles I checked. May be someone has an idea what might cause a) the error and b) why dose the data from sdb also shows up on sdc? b) also occurred also with the original redhat/centos driver for the ISCSI HBA. May be I have to use partitions and not the whole device or LVM, ... xfs? Other storages from Qsan dont show that problem and other storages with bigger filesystems or e.g. xfs are o.k. too. confused regards . Götz

Mailman 2.1.16 or later for CentOS 5
by Robert Heller 27 Apr '14

27 Apr '14

Is there a repository with a newer version of mailman for CentOS 5? CentOS 5 ships with mailman 2.1.9 and it looks like I need some of the features of newer version of mailman to cope with DMARC issues relating to aol, yahoo, and hotmail with at least one of my mailman lists. -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 / heller(a)deepsoft.com Deepwoods Software -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ () ascii ribbon campaign -- against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org -- against proprietary attachments

[OT] how do I remove a battery
by Michael Hennebry 26 Apr '14

26 Apr '14

I've got an MSI K9N Platinum MS 7250 VER 1.1 motherboard with a dead battery. The battery mounts vertically: http://www.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/~hennebry/computer/battery.png To me, the tab on the right would seem to need moving. It does not want to move. I am reluctant to apply any more force than I already have without knowing how to apply it. How do I remove the battery? -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "SCSI is NOT magic.

Some basic SELinux questions
by Stephen Harris 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

At my place we don't use SELinux because we have a gazillion tonnes of legacy software that just are not compatible with the default policies. No one wants to go to the effort of working out everything that needs changing. We also use cfengine for central management. Which somestimes causes a problem when CFe modifies a file that I don't want modified on my machine. So I want to be able to track when specific files were changed. My obvious thought was "create an SELinux audit policy that can track file changes, raise a log message", and we can monitor the logs. At this point I'm at a loss. Let's say I want to know when /local/app/my_app/etc/myfile.conf has been modified; how would I do this? Any ideas? Failing that I guess I could use inotify, but I don't know how well this would scale to 100s of files. Thanks! -- rgds Stephen
