XML parsing in shell script
by H 20 Mar '21

20 Mar '21

I have a challenge I am interested in getting feedback on. I will on a regular basis download a series of data files from the web where the data is in XML-format. The format is known in advance but is different between the various data files. I then plan to extract the various data items ("elements?") from each data file, do some light formatting and then save desired parts of each original data file as a formatted CSV-file for later importing into a database. As the plan is to use a bash shell script using curl to get the files, I have begun looking at external XML parsers that I can call from my script, perhaps specify which elements I want, get the data back in some kind of bash data structure and finally format and save as CSV-files. There seems to be a number of XML parsers available but perhaps someone on the list has a recommendation for which one might suit my needs best? I should add that I am running CentOS 7. Thank you.

CentOS-7-x86_64-dvd-2009.iso is too big for DVD blanks
by Robert G. (Doc) Savage 19 Mar '21

19 Mar '21

I need help from someone experienced with the CentOS bug tracking system. I gotta say it is one of the most complicated and imposing front ends I've ever seen. Could anyone familiar with it please file a bug on my behalf? Particulars: "CentOS 7.9.2009 DVD iso image too large" ISO image: CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-2009.iso 4.7GB raw CD image Wed Nov 4 05:37:25 2020 Burners: Both K3B and Brasero Media: Both DVD-R and DVD+R single-layer disks iso image: 4,712,300,544 bytes User Anthony F McInerney advises Wikipedia says DVD-R capacity: 4,707,319,808 bytes (max) I have tried burning this same iso image on two different machines: a CentOS 7.9 server and a Fedora 33 laptop. Same failure on both. We need to ask the developers to make a re-spin that's about 5MB smaller. And before someone suggests it, the 2010-vintage server I'm trying to install CentOS on does not support booting from a thumb drive, so that option is not available. Thanks, --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL

Hello, I wonder if you could help. I have a requirement to load CentOS 7.3 on to a server. I have the distribution on a bootable USB key. CentOS boots to the first menu but when I select the option to install almost immediately I get the error below: NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#82 stuck for 23s! [system-udevd:1221] The above error is output every 23s This is a repeatable error condition. When I load CentOS 7.4 on to the server I get no problems. When I load the above CentOS 7.3 distribution on to an older server I get no problems. Has anyone every seen the NMI watchdog error and found a resolution.

Supergrub will boot some .iso files. In the past, I have directly booted a partition I made from a fedora .iso file. Another option *might* be making another .iso file. Mount the file. Copy its filesystem to a directory. Remove some stuff you can live without. Make another .iso file using directions for making a bootable disk. Burn the .iso file to disk. -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a heiroglyph, and the blood of a virgin." -- someeecards

Samba config question
by Robert G. (Doc) Savage 16 Mar '21

After setting up /etc/samba/smb.conf and running "testparm" in CentOS 7.9.2011, I have noticed that the list of parameters echoed back for the [global] section do not match those in the smb.conf file.

Re: [CentOS] Bare metal vs. virtualization: Proxmox + Ceph + CentOS?
by Blaž Bogataj 15 Mar '21

15 Mar '21

Hello I'm using ProxMox as virtualization, from verson 2.x. For around 20 servers (most of them are Centos machines) for different services (Zimbra, Apache, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, EDB, ..) and also for MS servers (AD, Exchange, fileserver, MSSql Express, .). They all are running on 5-6 HW servers, different brands and all of them are pretty old. As backup use Synology NAS and nfs with 10gb fc to FC switch. So speed for backup really is not a problem. I slowly moving sata disks to ssd, in same hardware and this is really big advantage in speed. In time of changing disks move virtual machines to other hypervisors. HW Raid5 is really nice with ssd. In 3 years of changing to ssd disks only one fail, but system running and change of disk without downtime ... If I want to test, move, . backup and restore is not an issue. For this year plan is to put one NAS to other location for disaster . ProxMox and software defined storage on 4-5 machines I think for us is the best solution. In point of maintaining there is no problem with upgrading from one release to other - now is version 6.x. Only issue is probably my knowledge how to put this together. All the best Blaz

Restore mails using Thunderbird
by Nicolas Kovacs 15 Mar '21

15 Mar '21

Hi, One of my clients is running CentOS 7 on his workstation. He's using Mozilla Thunderbird with an IMAP account at Infomaniak to manage his mails. Two days ago he shot himself in the foot by playing around with Thunderbird's auto-cleaning features. He enabled "delete all mails older than 60 days" and managed to wipe most of his 13 GB of archived mails. Fortunately his local network has a local backup server (running CentOS 7 and Rsnapshot), which keeps daily snapshots of his workstation. Thunderbird keeps all configuration and mail in ~/.thunderbird, so I simply renamed this to ~/.thunderbird.bak, searched for the latest correct version of ~/.thunderbird three days ago and restored that. Now here's what happens. 1. When starting Thunderbird all the old mail folders and messages appear correctly. So it looks good. 2. After a few minutes most of the messages disappear. Not good. I don't know exactly what's going on here, but it looks like the server is trying to keep the upper hand here by restoring the last (wrong) state of things. Any suggestions ?

remote disk decryption on centos?

15 Mar '21

Hi I was reading about how unlock encrypted root partition from remote (unattended). I'd like asking what is compatible way for this in centos and commonly used by administrators? I think most simple is install dropbear in initramfs for allow remote SSH and manual enter passphrase. I find many HOWTO for that on debian/ubuntu, but nothing for centos. Is there any help, recommend or HOWTO available for centos? Example reference: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/161974/unattended-disk-encrypt…

Bare metal vs. virtualization: Proxmox + Ceph + CentOS ?
by Nicolas Kovacs 15 Mar '21

15 Mar '21

Hi, Last week I had a disaster which took me a few unnerving days to repair. My main Internet-facing server is a bare-metal installation with CentOS 7. It hosts four dozen web sites (or web applications) based on WordPress, Dolibarr, OwnCloud, GEPI, and quite a number of mail accounts for ten different domains. On sunday afternoon this machine had a hardware failure and proved to be unrecoverable. The good news is, I always have backups of everything. In that case, I have a dedicated backup server (in a different datacenter in a different country). I’m using Rsnapshot for incremental backups, so I had all data: websites, mail accounts, database dumps, configurations, etc. Now here’s the problem: it took me three and a half days of intense work to restore everything and get everything running again. Three and a half days of downtime is quite a stretch. As far as I understand, my mistake was to use a bare-metal installation and not a virtualized solution where I could simply restore a snapshot of a VM. Correct me if I’m wrong. Now I’m doing a lot of thinking and searching. Proxmox and Ceph look quite promising. From what I can tell, the idea is not to use a big server but a cluster of many small servers, and aggregate them like you would do with hard disks in a RAID 10 array for example, only you would do this for the whole system. And then install one or several CentOS 7 VMs on top of this setup. Any advice from the pros before I dive head first into the documentation?

That may not be *generally* possible. You can load-balance your network streams (connections), so that you'll utilize the bandwidth of two physical links in sum, but each individual network stream is going to traverse just one physical link, and will never be faster than whichever link is selected for that stream when it is initiated.

Disk read io very high, but no process perform io read
by yf chu 12 Mar '21

12 Mar '21

We have experienced a very weird problem. The load of the server machine is very high. We use "pidstat" and find that the disk read io is very high. But the processes running on this server do not perform any disk read operation. We also noticed that when we execute "top" command, for most of processes, the values in "SHR" column are zero. Compared with other normal servers, we found that by executing "free -m", the result shows that the buff/cache value in this server is lower than the value of other normal servers. We also found that there were lots of major page faults by executing "ps -o majflt,minflt". Swap is not enabled on this server. What could be the reason for this issue?

R730xd & SD card identfication
by Gregory P. Ennis 10 Mar '21

10 Mar '21

Everyone, We have migrated a platform to a Centos 8 host using kvm guest machines Recently I tried to copy one of the guests to the external SD card on the back of the Dell R730xd, but I have not been able to get the Centos 8 host to recognize the SD card. I can use DRAC interface of the R730xd to see that the SD card is being recognized and the status of the external SD slot is turned from inactive to active when the card is inserted. I have used lsblk, fdisk -l, and 'dmesg | tail' none of which demonstrate that the Centos 8 host is recognizing the SD card. You help would be appreciated. Thanks !! -- Greg Ennis

SHR in top command is zero and major page fault is frequent
by yf chu 08 Mar '21

08 Mar '21

Recently, I found that many processes in our server experienced high frequency of major page faults. The disk IO on this server is also very high. I also noticed that when I execute "top" command, for some processes, the value in SHR column became zero. when I restart these processes, the values of SHR became non-zero again. What could be the reason for frequent major page fault? Is there any connection between zero SHR and major page fault?

I had previously used: npm install electron --save-dev which installs fine but does not seem to use mkdtemp. yum provides mkdtemp ends up not finding anything but perhaps someone knows this better?

proper recipe for local mirror
by Adrian Sevcenco 07 Mar '21

07 Mar '21

Hi! What is the proper solution for a local mirror for centos 7 (or oven 8) repositories? trying with rsync, while the packages are downloaded but the repodata is not and is actually impossible to be used by clients. while i try to recreate the repodata with createrepo -C -d --workers=4 ${repo} where ${repo} is the sync destination where it contains %arch/{Packages,repodata} directories the clients throw errors like: <LOCAL_MIRROR>/mirrors/centos/7/updates/x86_64/repodata/51d63b04c8bb74c5d9f09ae65f763f319a69492d9a8fac5ea0bf9b63bf347c5c-primary.sqlite.bz2: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404 - Not Found What am i missing? Thanks a lot! Adrian

tracking samba changes
by Christopher Wensink 06 Mar '21

Good morning everyone. This morning when I came in my boss said that he doesn't have access to the R: drive, which is a samba share to a folder called RP. I looked in /etc/group and his username was not in there. He's had access to this group for years, since before I was at the company. Yesterday I added a new employee to two other groups, saved the change and exited, and I took out an old username out of a few groups but I did not touch my boss's username at all. Is there any kind of trace log that shows changes to a group or to /etc/group that tracks / logs all individual changes that I can trace back to what might have happened that's turned on in the system, to show changes to /etc/group, or does that only get captured through an outside backup?
