centos8 / anaconda EFI regression / HFS+ ESP
by Leon Fauster 12 Nov '20

12 Nov '20

Hi folks, years ago I had no problem installing CentOS7 on my iMac workstation (iMac Late 2015). The installation worked out of the box. Today I wanted to upgrade to CentOS8 and while configuring the partitions I get an error that the installation can not start because: "HFS+ ESP needed and mounted on /boot/efi". In fact they are the same partition as for CentOS7. Is this a regression of anaconda, implying that the EFI partition must be HFS based? I can boot CentOS7 with the vfat EFI partition ... -- Leon

BIOS RAID0 and differences between disks
by H 12 Nov '20

12 Nov '20

My computer running CentOS 7 is configured to use BIOS RAID0 and has two identical SSDs which are also encrypted. I had a crash the other day and due to a bug in the operating system update, I am unable to boot the system in RAID mode since dracut does not recognize the disks in grub. After modifying the grub command line I am able to boot the system from one of the harddisks after entering the LUKS password, seemingly without any problems but am obviously not running in RAID0 mode. When I booted in single-disk mode I am sure there were some new files created on the single SSD the system sees but I fairly quickly shut it down until this can be fixed. My question is: once the operating system fix has been released and I can once again boot in BIOS RAID0 mode and decrypting both SSDs (same password entered only once of course), how will the BIOS RAID0 react? How will it handle new files on one disk, altered timestamps etc.? Thanks.

Error from unix_chkpwd
by Sergio Belkin 10 Nov '20

10 Nov '20

Hi, On CentOS 7.7.1908 I've got the following error message: unix_chkpwd[1026]: could not obtain user info (root) I dont' know why... There are no SELinux errors, and the permissions of relevant files are: ls -Z /etc/shadow /etc/passwd /usr/sbin/unix_chkpwd -rw-r--r--. root root system_u:object_r:passwd_file_t:s0 /etc/passwd ----------. root root system_u:object_r:shadow_t:s0 /etc/shadow -rwsr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:chkpwd_exec_t:s0 /usr/sbin/unix_chkpwd Any idea? Thanks in advance! -- -- Sergio Belkin LPIC-2 Certified - http://www.lpi.org

systemd / services / current process list
by Leon Fauster 08 Nov '20

08 Nov '20

Hi, following requirement is needed here (forced by application migration from C6->C8): I have two services running under supervision by systemd. ServiceA: runs as user AppUser ServiceB: runs as user AppUser ServiceB can see "all" processes from AppUser (ps aux) running by systemd (in fact it sees no other processes). So ServiceB can see the processes of ServiceA. I have also a cron job that runs every 5 minutes as user AppUser. Now the problem is, that ServiceB via ps aux can't see the process of the cron job albeit running by the same AppUser. Which security feature of systemd can be altered to allow seeing all or at least AppUser's processes? ServiceA as only this "features": PrivateTmp=true ServiceB as only this features: PrivateTmp=true RuntimeDirectory=calculation RuntimeDirectoryMode=0755 Any hints would be great! Thanks, Leon

LibreOffice locking up
by H 07 Nov '20

07 Nov '20

I am running LibreOffice 5.3.6.1 under the latest update of CentOS 7 and the Mate desktop. Not infrequently LibreOffice Calc locks up and I have to force close the application. Altough the spreadsheet is rather large I would not consider it complex. This has been going on for some time and I am curious if the bug might be in LibreOffice or if there is some interaction with the Mate desktop that might be responsible. Both CentOS, LibreOffice and Mate have been regularly updated from the standard repositories for a long time. Does anyone else have the same problem?

Centos 8 and xfs_quota
by david 06 Nov '20

06 Nov '20

Folks I'm trying to use xfs_quota to keep track of disk space usage for my users. The documentation states that I should specify "uquota" as an option on the mount data in /etc/fstab. Yet, I cannot find the entry in fstab that corresponds to the Logical Volume that ends up being mounted on /home1. The system in question was installed on a single disk system. Later, after install, I added a second disk, created a Logical Volume on it, and mounted it as /home1, where all the user data gets stored. It holds an xfs file system. Upon examining /etc/fstab, there's no evidence of the second disk, yet it does get mounted: [root@ape ~]# cat /etc/fstab # # /etc/fstab # Created by anaconda on Fri May 1 21:05:38 2020 # # Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk/'. # See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or blkid(8) for more info. # # After editing this file, run 'systemctl daemon-reload' to update systemd # units generated from this file. # /dev/mapper/cl_ape-root / xfs defaults 0 0 UUID=d5a206d6-7ea1-42b7-8f52-071e98d09f98 /boot ext4 defaults 1 2 /dev/mapper/cl_ape-swap swap swap defaults 0 0 [root@ape ~]# Yet, when I look at the current mounts of xfs file systems: [root@ape ~]# mount | grep xfs /dev/mapper/cl_ape-root on / type xfs (rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota) /dev/mapper/vg_abcde-lv01 on /home1 type xfs (rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota) [root@ape ~]# the LV of the second disk shows up. lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 25G 0 disk +-sda1 8:1 0 1G 0 part /boot +-sda2 8:2 0 24G 0 part +-cl_ape-root 253:0 0 21.5G 0 lvm / +-cl_ape-swap 253:1 0 2.5G 0 lvm [SWAP] sdb 8:16 0 5.2T 0 disk +-vg_abcde-lv01 253:2 0 5.2T 0 lvm /home1 sr0 11:0 1 597M 0 rom [root@ape ~]# How do I enable quotas on a file system that is being mounted but not in fstab? I suspect systemd has a role here, but I can't find any evidence. David
