As, as you already noticed, my [ancient, maybe] reasoning makes me arrive at an opposite conclusion. (but mine is pure security consideration with full trust vested into sysadmin, see below...) On a second guess: it is just for a separation of privileges, and accounting of who did what which sudo brings to the table... Right? Thanks in advance.

I have check my /tmp folder with "find ./ -atime +10d" and there are some folders that appears as "accessed" more than 10 days ago... so I don't understand why automatic deletion system has not deleted them.

Booting from an ISO file in a XFS /boot partition
by Gestió Servidors 08 Apr '21

08 Apr '21

Hi, I want to boot with a customized iPXE iso boot file from my GRUB2 menu. My system is running CentOS-7, with /boot formated as XFS filesystem. After copying my iPXE.iso into /boot, I have created a custom GRUB2 file in /etc/grub.d/40_custom like this: menuentry "iPXE" { set isofile="/ipxe.iso" loopback loop (hd0,1)$isofile linux16 (loop)/ipxe.lkrn } After regenerating grub2.cfg with "grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2.cfg , I have rebooted my system, I have chosen "iPXE" entry, but system doesn't boot. I receive this error: error: file '/ipxe.iso' not found. Starting /ipxe.iso... error: no server is specified. Press any key to continue... However, in another similar system that runs /boot in EXT4 filesystem, that ISO file boots perfectly with the same configuration, so it seems the problem is with XFS. Could you help me? Thanks.

Re: [CentOS] almalinux?
by Jack Aboutboul 08 Apr '21

08 Apr '21

Thanks Rich for the kind words and Johnny for the support as well. Rich is correct about the non-profit foundation that was setup to facilitate community ownership and involvement. No one party owns or controls AlmaLinux. We don’t view anyone as "the other team” either, and we are glad, and here, to work together with everyone. The way we see it is that we are all family now as well and people have different needs. We are sure CentOS Stream is going to be great for those whose needs it fills and you really can’t beat the engineering team behind it. Time has already proven their prowess and some of them are close personal friends. That being said, we are trying our absolute hardest to make sure that we are the best community and distribution for people whose needs fall on the other side of the road. We are here to work together to build an ecosystem that is greater than the sum of its parts. I’ve spent, at this point, the majority of my life in the the EL extended family (including Fedora) and I can confidently say it is the most powerful platform for innovation, certainly of my generation. It has helped either directly or indirectly spawn or support probably most of today’s most leading technological advancements, everything from the the way we develop and deploy software, huge advancements in space exploration, particle physics research, AI, biological breakthroughs, art, finance and everything in between. It’s taken a collaborative, global effort to make that materialize and we are here to keep that going. There is no horizon we cannot explore, no sea we cannot cross and no peak we cannot summit. Together. Thanks, Jack

Binutils-2.30-98.el8.aarch64 broken on raspberry Pi4
by Maurice Smulders 07 Apr '21

07 Apr '21

The recent update of binutils/binutils-devel on aarch64 totally breaks gcc. When running gcc over a simple program with main - executing it results in a SIGSEGV, as the _start prologue calls a NULL pointer. I haven't figured out yet how to build a new build using git.centos.org, but I noticed that there is a -99 variant out there... -90 worked fine. What's the quickest way to get this back to being operational? The instructions to build a new package look to be a bit scattered - and how can I build a working one if any update picks up a borked one... Maurice

Anyone looked into almalinux? I was sort of waiting for rocky, but I see from over the weekend on slashdot that almalinux stable is released. mark
