CentOS Linux updates released (RSS Feeds)
by Johnny Hughes 21 Sep '20

21 Sep '20

As you may or may not know, we do not have the ability to currently announce CentOS Linux 8 announcements on the CentOS Annonuce Mailing List. We would like to add this in the future. For now, what we do have is an RSS feed for all updates that get released. Use your favorite RSS Feed Tool (I use Thunderbird .. lots of other things available). https://feeds.centos.org/ Subscribe to the xml file you are interested in .. for example, for normal CentOS Linux 8 x86_64 arch installs .. you would subscribe to: https://feeds.centos.org/centos-8-x86_64-BaseOS.xml https://feeds.centos.org/centos-8-x86_64-AppStream.xml This is for people who have asked about what rpms are updated and how to see when new updates happen on CentOS Linux 8. But it works for all versions of CentOS (There are xml files for all repos of CentOS Linxui 6. 7, and 8 .. Also CentOS Stream). Thanks, Johnny Hughes

CentOS 8 LSI SAS2004 Driver
by William Markuske 20 Sep '20

20 Sep '20

Hello, I've recently been given domain over a number of supermicro storage servers using Broadcom / LSI SAS2004 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Spitfire] (rev 03) to run a bunch of SSDs. I was attempting to do fresh installs of CentOS 8 and have come to find out that RedHat deprecated support for a number of HBAs for 8 including all running the SAS2004 chip. Does anyone know if there is a driver available for this chip from a third party repo? My google searches have led me to believe that EPEL 8 has a kmod-mpt3sas package but it does not seem to exist though multiple blogs have stated otherwise. If anyone knows if there is a solution for CentOS 8 that would be great or if I have to roll back to CentOS 7 for card support. Thanks, William

Drive failed in 4-drive md RAID 10
by Kenneth Porter 20 Sep '20

20 Sep '20

I got the email that a drive in my 4-drive RAID10 setup failed. What are my options? Drives are WD1000FYPS (Western Digital 1 TB 3.5" SATA). mdadm.conf: # mdadm.conf written out by anaconda MAILADDR root AUTO +imsm +1.x -all ARRAY /dev/md/root level=raid10 num-devices=4 UUID=942f512e:2db8dc6c:71667abc:daf408c3 /proc/mdstat: Personalities : [raid10] md127 : active raid10 sdf1[2](F) sdg1[3] sde1[1] sdd1[0] 1949480960 blocks super 1.2 512K chunks 2 near-copies [4/3] [UU_U] bitmap: 15/15 pages [60KB], 65536KB chunk smartctl reports this for sdf: 197 Current_Pending_Sector 0x0012 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 1 198 Offline_Uncorrectable 0x0010 200 200 000 Old_age Offline - 6 So it's got 6 bad blocks, 1 pending for remapping. Can I clear the error and rebuild? (It's not clear what commands would do that.) Or should I buy a replacement drive? I'm considering a WDS100T1R0A (2.5" 1TB red drive), which Amazon has for $135, plus the 3.5" adapter. The system serves primarily as a home mail server (it fetchmails from an outside VPS serving as my domain's MX) and archival file server.

storage for mailserver
by Michael Schumacher 19 Sep '20

19 Sep '20

hi, I am planning to replace my old CentOS 6 mail server soon. Most details are quite obvious and do not need to be changed, but the old system was running on spinning discs and this is certainly not the best option for todays mail servers. With spinning discs, HW-RAID6 was the way to go to increase reliability and speed. Today, I get the feeling, that traditional RAID is not the best option for SSDs. I am reading that all RAID members in SSD-arrays age synchronously so that the risk of a massive failure of more than one disk is more likely than with HDDs. There are many other concerns like excessive write load compared to non-raid systems, etc. Is there any common sense what disk layout should be used these days? I have been looking for some kind of master-slave system, where the (one or many) SSD is taking all writes and reads, but the slave HDD runs in parallel as a backup system like in a RAID1 system. Is there any such system? Any thoughts? best regards Michael Schumacher

Be sure it's the drive you want to find then put dd if=/dev/sdf of=/dev/null into a shell, but don't run it. Look at the drives and hit enter and watch for which one lights up. Then ^c while watching to be sure the light turns off exactly when you hit it.

Hi, > Thanks. That reminds me: If I need to replace it, is there some easy way to > figure out which drive bay is sdf? # smartctl -all /dev/sdf will give you the serial number if the drive. That will be printed on the disk label. But you still have to shut down your machine and pull all drives to find it. best regards --- Michael Schumacher

erasing a disk
by david 14 Sep '20

14 Sep '20

Folks I've encountered situations where I want to reuse a hard-drive. I do not want to preserve anything on the drive, and I'm not concerned about 'securely erasing' old content. I just want to be able to define it as an Physical Volume (in a logical volume set), or make it a ZFS disk, or sometimes make it a simple EXT3, ExFAT or NTFS disk. However, old 'signatures' get in the way and Linux sometimes refuses to let me proceed. I know that a fool-proof solution is to use the "dd if=/dev/zero bs=32768 oflag=direct" on the disk, but when we're talking USB-connected hard drives of 8 TB, that's an operation that can take days. The disk in question might even have been corrupted. This would make using 'zpool destroy' to clear out a ZFS disk, or I've tried erasing the first megabyte of the disk, but there are ZFS or LVM structures that get in the way. So, does anyone have an efficient way to erase structures from a disk such that it can be reused? Something like -erase first N blocks (block defined as 4096) - Erase <number> blocks starting at block <number> - erase last <number> blocks At least such an algorithm would be quicker than erasing 8 TB of data.

Server entering Emergency Shell, but continues fine after pressing Enter
by Quinn Comendant 12 Sep '20

12 Sep '20

Hello all, I've got an odd problem that doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere. I have several identical CentOS 7 servers (GCE instances). I recently ran `yum update` and rebooted all of them. All the servers came back fine except one. I opened a connection to the serial console of the broken server, and was greeted with this prompt: … Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked. See sulogin(8) man page for more details. Press Enter to continue. I pressed Enter, and the boot process continued successfully! Just to test, I restarted the server again, and the same thing happened: I had to manually log in to the console and press Enter before it would complete the boot process. No other step was required. I also tried creating a snapshot of the disk, and booted a new VM with a boot disk imaged from the snapshot. The same problem occurred, pressing Enter was all that was required. Earlier in the boot log, it shows "Started Emergency Shell", which is why there was a "Press Enter" prompt. The error that the "root account is locked" isn't the issue; the root account is locked on all our servers. So, in summary: something is causing the server to enter an Emergency Shell, but continues successfully after pressing Enter. That's odd because if Emergency Shell is loaded, usually something more serious is happening and requires more actions to get the server to boot. Anybody have any idea what could be causing this? I don't see any significant errors in the boot log, but I would appreciate if anyone has a moment to help me look for issues. Here's a copy of the serial console boot log – you can find the "Press Enter to continue" on line 536: https://write.as/dwuts24dcw6yh0kf.txt Thanks! Quinn

Thunderbird won't start after move to new box
by Gary Stainburn 12 Sep '20

12 Sep '20

I've tried moving my Thunderbird profile from one C7 box, a standard PC to another C7 box, a DELL server. I did this by rsync'ing ~/.thunderbird. However, on the new box, Thunderbird only starts if I run it -safe-mode. If I don't run it in safe mode I see the window flash up and instantly close. No errors or notifications appear in the terminal window., Anyone got suggestions on what could be wrong, or how I can diagnose it? Google just seems to bring up hits for problems on Windows boxes.

Plasma problem with numeric keypad
by Alessandro Baggi 08 Sep '20

08 Sep '20

Hi list, I'm running CentOS 8.2 with Plasma from EPEL and I noticed that I have problem using numeric keypad of my keyboard when using plasma application like Konsole, Kcalc, Konqueror and all application of Plasma. Using Firefox, Thunderbird, xterm, Libreoffice all works as expected. So this problem is related to Plasma application. I noticed the same problem on sddm login. I noticed that to make the numeric keypad to work I need to press SHIFT+NUMKEY. I tried to manage Plasma keyboard configuration but nothing worked. I tried my keyboard on other PC and distro but the problem does not occour. I should try this using GNOME or XFCE but being a KDE user I would avoid to install the others. There is a way to solve this problem? Thank you in advance. Alessandro.

Conversion from Centos 5 to Centos 7 & mailx changes
by Gregory P. Ennis 07 Sep '20

07 Sep '20

Everyone, I have just upgraded a Centos 5 server to a Centos 7 server and am having difficulty with a change of behavior of mailx with the use of a command line of : mail -s 'This is the subject' user(a)domain.com < text_file.txt On Centos 5 when mailx was used by a program started by a cron job we were able to send a text file as an email message and the headers did not contain 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64' On Centos 7 the headers contain 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64' and when the client gets the e-mail they are unable to open it up. The interesting thing is that on Centos 7 when the command line is used by typing the above command 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit' is placed in the header and the client can see the e-mail without a problem. I have looked for a way to control the 'Content-Transfer-Encoding:' header to '7bit' when we use a cron job, but I have not been able to figure out how. Your suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you, -- Greg Ennis

Updating ca-certificates

This is probably a stupid question: what is the correct way to update certificates if one has installed additional certs with update-ca-trust and the distro releases a new version of ca-certificates?

Tracking or checking backported kernel patches from upstream
by Carlos A. Carnero Delgado 02 Sep '20

Hi! I'm interested in finding out if a couple of upstream kernel patches were backported into CentOS (RHEL), in particular this one <https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?…> and this one <https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?…> . What's the procedure? After reading an article <https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/what-backporting-and-how-does-it-apply-rhel-…>, I went into Red Hat's bugzilla, and tried several search terms (including the kernel's commit ID) but found nothing. Thanks!
