C7 live CD does not like F33 ext partition
by Michael Hennebry 21 Apr '21

21 Apr '21

I've been trying to backup the root partition of my F33 installation. To that end, I'm running a C7 live CD. C7 won't mount the partition. tune2fs likes it, but [root@localhost mnt]# mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/a5 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda5, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so.

No idea why the journal should be a problem. I used gnome to do the reboot. I can boot back into F33. How do I figure out what is going on? What can I do about it? -- 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

devtoolset-10 -- built but not released?
by Kris Knigga (TT) 20 Apr '21

20 Apr '21

Hello, devtoolset-10 has been out for a while now and it looks like Centos packages for it have been built for a few months ( https://cbs.centos.org/koji/packages?tagID=2186). Will these be released soon? Or, perhaps is there anything I can volunteer to help with to get devtoolset-10 ready for release? Thank you, Kris

Code of Conduct
by Rich Bowen 19 Apr '21

19 Apr '21

You may have seen, a few days ago, that the Fedora project announced[1] a new Code of Conduct for their community. What you may not have known is that the CentOS project was involved in the crafting of that Code, so that we could also use it here. Yeah, I know, this is something we should have done a long time ago. But, you know what they say about the best time to plant a tree. (The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is today.) As we continue to work to make all aspects of the CentOS Project more open and transparent, it is important that we create an open, welcoming community where all people, from all backgrounds, feel safe in their participation. This allows for a broader contributor pool, with more ideas and more community ownership of the resulting outcomes. And it's just the right thing to do. It is our intent to take the text of the Fedora CoC, and replace 'Fedora' with 'CentOS' everywhere, and propose it here. There will, of course, be other small changes to the text (Board vs Council, and so on) but not to the details of the Code itself, and how we intend to address reports. We're holding off on those edits so that our version doesn't drift from theirs, during their 2 week comment period. (Ends April 26th.) The document is derived from the Contributor Covenant, along with work that has been ongoing in the Fedora project for some time. Note also that the Contributor Covenant is also the source material for the CoC used by the Linux kernel project.[2] To that end, we encourage you to engage in the discussion around the Fedora CoC, because any changes made there will influence what we end up with here. And we also encourage discussion on centos-devel[3], for anything that you feel is specific to our community. --Rich, on behalf of the CentOS Board of Directors [1] https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/policy-proposal-new-code-of-conduct/ [2] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?… [3] https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel

I am planning to migrate a EL7 host to CS8 and noticed that an "application" runs via /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 . Its seems its from EPEL. Stock C8 does not ship it. Any SIG repository with "qemu-system-x86_64"? Thanks, Leon

by Łukasz Posadowski 19 Apr '21

19 Apr '21

Hi everyone. I decided to go container with Centos Stream, but I keep having errors about "unknow capability: CAP_PERFMON". I tried minikube, as well as standard podman and toolbox container creation: $ toolbox create --distro fedora --release 34 --container test3 $ toolbox create --distro rhel --release 8.3 --container test4 Containers are created, I can list them with toolbox and podman. $ toolbox enter --container test4 Error: failed to start container test4 $ podman start test4 Error: OCI runtime error: unable to start container "[longhash]": container =_linux_go:370: starting container process caused: unknow capability "CAP_PERFMON" thanks -- Łukasz Posadowski

enough free pages but high number of major page faults and page reclaims
by yf chu 17 Apr '21

17 Apr '21

We find that for some servers io disk read is very high. We also notice that there are many major page faults on those servers. But we checked the /proc/zoneinfo, there are enough free pages. Here is the content of /proc/zoneinfo: pages free 3913507 min 11333 low 14166 high 16999 scanned 0 spanned 16777216 present 16777216 managed 16507043 nr_free_pages 3913507 We also use "perf" to monitor the event of "mm_filemap_delete_from_page_cache".

Proxmox Backup Server equivalent for the RHEL/CentOS world ?
by Nicolas Kovacs 17 Apr '21

17 Apr '21

Hi, I've just spent a couple weeks experimenting extensively with Proxmox VE (Virtual Environment) and Proxmox PBS (Backup Server) on a couple of sandbox servers. I must say I'm impressed, especially of the elegance and simplicity of the backup solution. Running virtual machines can be backed up efficiently, combining deduplication and incremental backups. A bit like Rsnapshot, only for whole VM images. Both PVE and PBS are based on Debian, and now I wonder if RHEL-based systems have something similar to offer. Any suggestions ?
