CentOS 6 mount of ntfs formatted usb stick fails
by Rob Kampen 19 Apr '14

19 Apr '14

I recently received an 8GB usb stick that fails to mount on my fully patched CentOS 6.5 desktop machine. The stick works just fine on a windoze 7 laptop (my daughter's) with no special drivers installed. fdisk -l /dev/sdf gives the following: Disk /dev/sdf: 8004 MB, 8004829184 bytes 102 heads, 38 sectors/track, 4033 cylinders Units = cylinders of 3876 * 512 = 1984512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0xc3072e18 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdf1 3 4034 7813184 7 HPFS/NTFS mount -t ntfs /dev/sdf1 /mnt/usb gives: NTFS signature is missing. Failed to mount '/dev/sdf1': Invalid argument The device '/dev/sdf1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around? as does mount -t ntfs /dev/sdf /mnt/usb NTFS signature is missing. Failed to mount '/dev/sdf': Invalid argument The device '/dev/sdf' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around? I have the following installed: ntfs-3g-2011.4.12-5.el6.x86_64 ntfsprogs-2011.4.12-5.el6.x86_64 Has there been a change to the NTFS system with the advent of windoze 8.0/8.1?? Any help appreciated. TIA Rob

Problem with blades that wont kickstart
by Dan Hyatt 18 Apr '14

18 Apr '14

About 15% of my blades wont kickstart. I checked to see, and they all seem to be 100% compatible. I currently do not own/direct access the kickstart server, I will build one later. Is it possible they fat fingered the MAC address of the problem blades when they put them into the PXE server? As I can build them from a locally mounted virtual CD, but cannot build from PXE At first I was getting a grub error. When I installed a baseline Centos locally, and then pxe booted for the build. I got a cannot find C0T0 which indicates it cannot find the first drive (kickstart uses sda1), yet I look in the drac and I can see C0T0 drive as well as C0t1 drive (this is a raid 1 virtual drive no mirror) So here is my big question: can I put my primary drive in slot sda2 on the blade... then DD the drive from the working blade, change the MAC address in the network interface, change the hostname/IP address in /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/eth0 to build the drives? What are the risks? what are the gotcha's? what problems will I have DD ing a drive that is currently the boot drive? Any suggestions are welcome -- Dan Hyatt

cannot kickstart centos 6 on Dell Blade error cannot find c0t0
by Dan Hyatt 18 Apr '14

18 Apr '14

I have an intermittent problem with my Dell blades, out of 80 blades 69 of them kickstarted Centos 6 fine using PXE The other 11, I get a c0t0 not found error (indicating it is not finding the local disk on the blade). I can remote mount the iso image and do a basic install of centos on these blades, but when I go to do a pxe boot it gives me that error again. I have googled the issue and come up empty handed. Dell told us to install centos 6 minimal ISO then pxe install the server. This has been unsuccessful. I get the local ISO to install but the pxe fails again. Since the kickstart file defines the disk as sda1 I am supposing that it is really a hardware problem. But I am told by coworkers who handed it off to me that it is a known issue with centos and Dell blades. These are two internal disks on the blade. Any suggestions? -- Dan

yum - package version database
by neubyr 17 Apr '14

17 Apr '14

When I query for installed package on the system, I get following result: # yum list installed openssl Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, tsflags, verify, versionlock Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Installed Packages openssl.x86_64 1.0.1e-16.el6_5.4 @updates/$releasever When I try to install already installed package (just playing with yum), I get following result: # yum install openssl Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, tsflags, verify, versionlock Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Setting up Install Process Package matching openssl-1.0.0-27.el6_4.2.x86_64 already installed. Checking for update. Nothing to do Note, the version reported in both commands is different. Are they referring to different rpmdb state? Appreciate any information on this discrepancy. - thanks, N

semi-OT:R and rkhunter
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 17 Apr '14

17 Apr '14

The latest version of rkhunter is complaining about "suspicious file types" in /dev/shm. Thing is, they're being created on the fly by R, and then seem to be a random name (5d1f...), and I have zero expectation that R will only create shm files beginning with those characters. For those running rkhunter, if you've run into something like this, how have you handled it - told rkhunter to ignore /dev/shm, or lived with the regular complaints in the logs, or...? I note that of the three files created by R, one ends in _counter, and another starts with sem.(same long random name as the other files)_counter_mutex. The third has neither prefix nor postfix. mark "and googling on rkhunter "R language" keeps getting me repos, since both R and rkhunter are under the letter r.... mark "brought to you by Arrrghh...."

I have been looking at replacing our current login systems with a single login solution. In the process I managed to get sidetracked into investigating pam_pkcs11. My question, which no doubt reveals the depth of my ignorance, is: Can a simple USB flash memory stick be configured to work with this or some similar module of which I as yet know nothing? Everything I have managed to find about this method of loging on to CentOS implies that either a special smart-card and dedicated reader or a purpose-built usb smart-token is required. Is this in fact so? Is there no way to just use a standard usb flash memory 'key' to achieve the same effect? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
