systemd environment var composed of vars
by Leon Fauster 06 Jul '20

06 Jul '20

Is it somehow possible to use composed ENV vars in a systemd unit file? Simple example, env file has ADDRESS=foo PORT=bar LISTEN=${ADDRESS}:${PORT} putting ${ADDRESS}:${PORT} directly in the unit file works, $LISTEN not. Does systemd supports such var substitution? -- Leon

Hello, I will soon release a new open source project that may be of interest to the CentOS community. Can you suggest some place(s) where it would be appropriate for me to announce/promote it? Thank you, Michael Reilly

Hey! I have a strange condition in one of the servers that I don't where to start looking. I login to the server via SSH (cant doit any other way) and anything that I type is slow HTTP sessions timeout waiting for screen redraw. So, the server is acting "slow". server is bare metal. no virtual services. no alarms in the disk raid note: server was restarted because of power failure. Some outputs from this server that is a mail server: [root@correo ~]# top top - 09:54:43 up 23:51, 2 users, load average: 0.18, 0.23, 0.28 Tasks: 210 total, 1 running, 209 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie %Cpu(s): 0.2 us, 0.1 sy, 0.0 ni, 99.8 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st KiB Mem : 32606084 total, 25106412 free, 5932244 used, 1567428 buff/cache KiB Swap: 16449532 total, 16449532 free, 0 used. 26282624 avail Mem **iostat** [root@correo ~]# iostat -y 5 Linux 3.10.0-1062.12.1.el7.x86_64 (correo.binal.ac.pa) 07/03/2020 _x86_64_ (4 CPU) avg-cpu: %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle 0.05 0.00 0.05 0.05 0.00 99.85 Device: tps kB_read/s kB_wrtn/s kB_read kB_wrtn sda 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0 dm-0 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0 dm-1 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0 avg-cpu: %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle 0.05 0.00 0.05 0.05 0.00 99.85 Device: tps kB_read/s kB_wrtn/s kB_read kB_wrtn sda 21.40 0.00 169.60 0 848 dm-0 21.40 0.00 169.60 0 848 dm-1 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0 avg-cpu: %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle 0.60 0.00 0.05 0.45 0.00 98.90 Device: tps kB_read/s kB_wrtn/s kB_read kB_wrtn sda 1.20 16.80 0.00 84 0 dm-0 1.20 16.80 0.00 84 0 dm-1 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0 avg-cpu: %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle 0.05 0.00 0.00 0.05 0.00 99.90 Device: tps kB_read/s kB_wrtn/s kB_read kB_wrtn sda 8.00 0.00 100.20 0 501 dm-0 9.00 0.00 100.20 0 501 dm-1 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0 avg-cpu: %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle 0.45 0.00 0.35 0.05 0.00 99.15 Device: tps kB_read/s kB_wrtn/s kB_read kB_wrtn sda 1.00 0.80 3.20 4 16 dm-0 1.00 0.80 3.20 4 16 dm-1 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0 **dstop** [root@correo ~]# dstat -cd --disk-util --disk-tps ----total-cpu-usage---- -dsk/total- sda- -dsk/total- usr sys idl wai hiq siq| read writ|util|reads writs 1 0 99 0 0 0| 20k 17k|0.14| 1 1 0 0 100 0 0 0| 0 0 | 0| 0 0 0 0 100 0 0 0| 0 0 | 0| 0 0 0 0 100 0 0 0| 0 0 | 0| 0 0 0 0 100 0 0 0| 0 0 | 0| 0 0 0 0 100 0 0 0| 0 0 | 0| 0 0 4 0 84 11 0 0|2512k 228k|52.3| 123 2 31 4 58 7 0 0|1912k 1026k|38.1| 132 23 0 0 99 0 0 0| 0 0 | 0| 0 0 1 0 99 1 0 0|4096B 3819k|22.5| 1 270 0 0 100 0 0 0| 0 0 | 0| 0 0 13 1 83 4 0 0| 148k 2304k|15.3| 18 214 1 0 98 1 0 0| 140k 499k|9.70| 14 8 26 5 69 0 0 0| 0 1260k|1.30| 0 46 56 7 38 0 0 0| 0 204k|0.30| 0 12 14 11 75 0 0 0| 0 0 | 0| 0 0 22 10 68 0 0 0| 0 0 | 0| 0 0 16 10 71 3 0 0| 192k 37k|14.0| 12 2 0 0 100 0 0 0| 0 0 | 0| 0 0 0 0 100 0 0 0| 0 152k| 0| 0 2 0 0 100 0 0 0| 0 0 | 0| 0 0 1 1 98 1 0 0| 16k 2569k|14.8| 1 207 1 1 98 0 0 0|4096B 0 |1.10| 1 0 1 0 99 0 0 0| 0 0 | 0| 0 0 0 0 100 0 0 0| 0 600k|1.30| 0 51 2 0 98 0 0 0| 0 0 | 0| 0 0 4 0 96 0 0 0| 0 0 | 0| 0 0 0 0 100 0 0 0| 0 0 | 0| 0 0 -- --------------------- Erick Perez ---------------------

setting kernel IP boot values
by Jerry Geis 02 Jul '20

02 Jul '20

Hi I found this information: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/ht… Specifically: Set the configuration using the ip option on the kernel command line: ip<client-IP-number>:[<server-id>]:<gateway-IP-number>:<netmask>:<client-hostname>:<interface>:{dhcp|dhcp6|auto6|on|any|none|off} dhcp - DHCP configuration dhpc6 - DHCP IPv6 configuration auto6 - automatic IPv6 configuration on, any - any protocol available in the kernel (default) none, off - no autoconfiguration, static network configuration For example: ip=192.168.180.120:192.168.180.100:192.168.180.1:255.255.255.0::enp1s0:off but I am confused. I desire to set IP boot values with DHCP and name of machine say jerry. so I would use ip=::::jerry.domain:eth0:dhcp Is this correct ? Jerry

How to Mirror CentOS8 repository in CentOS7 Server via reposync
by psuresh 02 Jul '20

02 Jul '20

Hi I'm running CentOS7 server as ImageServer and local repository server. And i need to mirror CentOS8 repository (http://mirror.centos.org/centos-8/8.1.1911/AppStream/x86_64/os/ ) in my CentOS7 Server. If i mirror CentOS8 repository using repo sync command in CentOS7 it did not properly mirror centos8 repository, due to that when i install package from CentOS8 client machine getting following error. No available modular metadata for modular package 'python3-lldb-8.0.1-1.module_el8.1.0+215+a01033fb.x86_64', it cannot be installed on the system The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction. You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'. Error: No available modular metadata for modular package Can you please suggest proper way to mirror CentOS8 repository in CentOS7 Server? Regards, Suresh PanneerSelvam

Not getting bootloader installed with CentOS 8 + mdraid
by Chris Adams 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

I am trying to use a kickstart to install CentOS 8.2 on a server with a pair of drives with Linux software RAID 1. The install completes, but the resulting system will not boot - I get "Booting from Hard drive C:" from the BIOS (Dell in legacy BIOS mode, not UEFI) and it stops. If I then start the installer in rescue mode and run grub2-install on the two drives, it boots okay. If I take out the RAID config and just install on the first drive, it boots fine - it appears to just be an issue with RAID. I tried my kickstart in a KVM VM with two disks, and it works there (I get RAID and a bootloader). Anybody else run into this? Any ideas? I've been installing from kickstarts for ages, including software RAID, but not CentOS 8 with software RAID until now. -- Chris Adams <linux(a)cmadams.net>

[OT] Bacula offsite replication
by Alessandro Baggi 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

Hi everyone, I have updated my backup server to CentOS 8.2. It runs bacula performing backup on disks. I would like to replicate backups on another offsite machine. I read about the ability to configure a new storage daemon in the offsite location and create a Migration/Copy Jobs. If I'm not wrong, it replicates only volumes but not replicate the catalog. I will try this. Another way to replicate the volumes on another server is using rsync. What is your suggestion about this topic? Thank you in advance. Alessandro.

virt-manager guest display resize not keep
by Jerry Geis 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

Hi All, I have CentOS 7 has host and CentOS 8 as guest. I ran the command: virsh edit CentOS8 and changed the vgamem to 65536. I Now get higher resolutions in the guest - I select the 4K resolution, all works. Then when I reboot I am back to 1024x768. Any thoughts on getting the C8 guest to keep its screen resolution ? Thanks, Jerry
