Problems with CentOS 8 kickstart
by Hooton, Gerard 07 Jul '21

Hi All, I am having problems with a kickstart install of CentOS 8 When I try to do a completely automated install using PXE/UEFI it get to the point where it reads the kickstart config file. Then I see the following message "kickstart install Started cancel waiting for multipath siblings for nvme0n1" This is what I have in the kickstart file # Clear the Master Boot Record zerombr # Partition clearing information clearpart --all --initlabel autopart --nohome --type=lvm --fstype=xfs ================ When I install from a USB drive it works OK and I have the following in /dev/disk/by-id lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 13 Jul 5 10:28 nvme-SAMSUNG_MZVL2512HCJQ-00BL7_S64KNE0R161810 -> ../../nvme0n1 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 13 Jul 5 10:28 nvme-eui.002538b11102f46d -> ../../nvme0n1 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 15 Jul 5 10:28 wwn-eui.002538b11102f46d-part3 -> ../../nvme0n1p3 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 15 Jul 5 10:28 nvme-SAMSUNG_MZVL2512HCJQ-00BL7_S64KNE0R161810-part3 -> ../../nvme0n1p3 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 15 Jul 5 10:28 nvme-eui.002538b11102f46d-part3 -> ../../nvme0n1p3 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 15 Jul 5 10:28 lvm-pv-uuid-5Dg4mg-saHa-hJJ6-n5a8-MxBS-gdFi-5jPoNn -> ../../nvme0n1p3 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 15 Jul 5 10:28 wwn-eui.002538b11102f46d-part2 UNG_MZVL2512HCJQ-0-> ../../nvme0n1p2 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 15 Jul 5 10:28 nvme-SAMSUNG_MZVL2512HCJQ-00BL7_S64KNE0R161810-part2 -> ../../nvme0n1p2 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 15 Jul 5 10:28 nvme-eui.002538b11102f46d-part2 -> ../../nvme0n1p2 drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 400 Jul 5 10:28 . lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 15 Jul 5 10:28 wwn-eui.002538b11102f46d-part1 -> ../../nvme0n1p1 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 15 Jul 5 10:28 nvme-SAMSUNG_MZVL2512HCJQ-00BL7_S64KNE0R161810-part1 -> ../../nvme0n1p1 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 15 Jul 5 10:28 nvme-eui.002538b11102f46d-part1 -> ../../nvme0n1p1 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 10 Jul 5 11:07 dm-uuid-LVM-qQok4M7AOo1TxZZ42GwZcbuVNBs0hnkKtEdtLjwJQyIdxJcSvPv8TEAjwYGMv6yU -> ../../dm-0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 10 Jul 5 11:07 dm-uuid-LVM-qQok4M7AOo1TxZZ42GwZcbuVNBs0hnkKAooqrczySYJyiHvUAUji9oScPN2cVi7J -> ../../dm-1 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 10 Jul 5 11:07 dm-name-cs_uews027-swap -> ../../dm-1 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 10 Jul 5 11:07 dm-name-cs_uews027-root -> ../../dm-0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 10 Jul 5 11:07 dm-uuid-LVM-qQok4M7AOo1TxZZ42GwZcbuVNBs0hnkK5HZXbR2ow5xKGuD7jVe4UPzZm2qRLLXI -> ../../dm-2 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 10 Jul 5 11:07 dm-name-cs_uews027-home -> ../../dm-2 It's looks like that I am not doing the disk drive stuff in the config file correctly. -- Gerard Hooton.

Re: [CentOS] CentOS Digest, Vol 198, Issue 6

Hi Leon, Thanks a lot for taking a look at my test and the suggestion. We have tested this suggestion echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled Unfortunately, the Ram usage was the same with this option changed as well. Just to give some additional context to the original question to all, We see 10-25 percent more RSS on CentOS 8 ( as compared to CentOS 7) for the same Java vm process that we are benchmarking . And in that case , the RSS growth for the executable and the shared library of our application is considerably higher. Perhaps, for the big server use cases the rss growth did not matter, but for us, we are trying to use it in an embedded scenario and this is a major issue. We will be glad to hear any further suggestions/ tests that we could check to further understand the differences between the 2 versions.

RSS usage on centos8.4 is higher for user-application compared to centos7.9
by Anand Babu 06 Jul '21

06 Jul '21

Hi Centos Community, This is my first time here and I apologize in advance if I made a mistake here and hope you will correct me , if i made any. With that said, This is a native example that was written to narrow down the higher RAM usage that we see when we are using Centos8 as opposed to Centos7. The c-code is very small and looks like this : #include<stdio.h> #include<unistd.h> int main() { pause(); return 0; } I compile and run the binary on centos7 and memory backed section of pmap output looks like below: pmap -X $(pidof sleep) | head -n -2 | awk '{ if (NR > 2 && $5 > 0 ) printf "%12s %8s %8s %4s %s\n", $1, $6, $7, $2,$13}' 00400000 4 4 r-xp sleep 00600000 4 4 r--p sleep 00601000 4 4 rw-p sleep*7f54514f9000 1808 204 r-xp libc-2.17.so <http://libc-2.17.so> *7f54516bd000 2044 0 ---p libc-2.17.so 7f54518bc000 16 16 r--p libc-2.17.so 7f54518c0000 8 8 rw-p libc-2.17.so 7f54518c7000 136 108 r-xp ld-2.17.so 7f5451ae8000 4 4 r--p ld-2.17.so 7f5451ae9000 4 4 rw-p ld-2.17.so and ps says the following: ** ps -o rss= pidof sleep 352** Running the same binary on centos8 leads to ** ps -o rss= pidof pause 784 ** and the pmap output looks like below: 00400000 4 4 r-xp pause 00600000 4 4 r--p pause 00601000 4 4 rw-p pause* 7f24029a8000 1776 788 r-xp libc-2.28.so <http://libc-2.28.so> * 7f2402b64000 2044 0 ---p libc-2.28.so 7f2402d63000 16 16 r--p libc-2.28.so 7f2402d67000 8 8 rw-p libc-2.28.so 7f2402d6d000 176 176 r-xp ld-2.28.so 7f2402f99000 4 4 r--p ld-2.28.so 7f2402f9a000 8 8 rw-p ld-2.28.so For running the same executable, the libc.so takes 788KB(204KB on centos7). Note: 1. This is not the only library that is showing this behavior, but we see the same behavior for other shared-library as well as executables that were compiled on centos7. Running the same executables/shared objects take a higher amount of pages on centos8 than on centos7. 2. Since the glibc version on Centos8 was 2.28 , i have compiled 2.17 version and then used patchelf to patch the centos7 built binary to make use of 2.17 glibc on centos8 host like patchelf --set-interpreter /home/babu/RSS_measurement/2_17_downloaded/glibc_home/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --set-rpath /home/babu/RSS_measurement/2_17_downloaded/glibc_home/lib /tmp/pause and then run it under LD_DEBUG=libs and verified the 2.17 version of libc libraries were used and still the memory usage on centos8 was higher than on centos7 (about the same numbers as above). What could be the reason for the higher RAM usage on centos8 vs centos7? I can imagine some defaults have changed on centos8 and that has meant this impact and i could change this default and could reproduce the same RSS numbers on centos8 as well? I am posting my environment details in the P.S below. Regards, -Anand P.S: cat /etc/centos-release CentOS Linux release 8.4.2105 [root@localhost RSS_measurement]# cat /etc/centos-release CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core) I am running both the centos versions under Virtualbox.

Centos 8 crypto-policy to get SSL Labs A rating
by Adrian Jenzer 05 Jul '21

05 Jul '21

Dear Community I try to get an SSL Labs A rating for my CentOS8 Apache-server. I'am sure it has to do with my lack of understanding the crypto-policies configuration, can anybody give me an advice where i am wrong? My understanding is that the configuration in the pmod-file will override the ssl.conf values if PROFILE=SYSTEM is active. *** # Current runtime policy dump # DEFAULT:HTTPS arbitrary_dh_groups = 1 cipher = AES-256-GCM AES-256-CCM CHACHA20-POLY1305 AES-256-CTR AES-256-CBC AES-128-GCM AES-128-CCM AES-128-CTR AES-128-CBC group = X25519 X448 SECP256R1 SECP384R1 SECP521R1 FFDHE-2048 FFDHE-3072 FFDHE-4096 FFDHE-6144 FFDHE-8192 hash = SHA2-256 SHA2-384 SHA2-512 SHA3-256 SHA3-384 SHA3-512 SHA2-224 SHA1 ike_protocol = IKEv2 key_exchange = ECDHE DHE DHE-RSA DHE-PSK ECDHE-PSK ECDHE-GSS DHE-GSS mac = AEAD HMAC-SHA2-256 HMAC-SHA1 UMAC-128 HMAC-SHA2-384 HMAC-SHA2-512 min_dh_size = 2048 min_dsa_size = 2048 min_dtls_version = DTLS1.2 min_rsa_size = 2048 min_tls_version = TLS1.2 protocol = TLS1.3 TLS1.2 DTLS1.2 sha1_in_certs = 1 sign = ECDSA-SHA3-256 ECDSA-SHA2-256 ECDSA-SHA3-384 ECDSA-SHA2-384 ECDSA-SHA3-512 ECDSA-SHA2-512 EDDSA-ED25519 EDDSA-ED448 RSA-PSS-SHA2-256 RSA-PSS-SHA2-384 RSA-PSS-SHA2-512 RSA-SHA3-256 RSA-SHA2-256 RSA-SHA3-384 RSA-$ ssh_certs = 1 ssh_cipher = AES-256-GCM AES-256-CCM CHACHA20-POLY1305 CAMELLIA-256-GCM AES-256-CTR AES-256-CBC CAMELLIA-256-CBC AES-128-GCM AES-128-CCM CAMELLIA-128-GCM AES-128-CTR AES-128-CBC CAMELLIA-128-CBC ssh_etm = 1 ssh_group = X25519 X448 SECP256R1 SECP384R1 SECP521R1 FFDHE-2048 FFDHE-3072 FFDHE-4096 FFDHE-6144 FFDHE-8192 tls_cipher = AES-256-GCM AES-256-CCM CHACHA20-POLY1305 AES-256-CBC AES-128-GCM AES-128-CCM AES-128-CBC *** cat /etc/crypto-policies/policies/modules/HTTPS.pmod cipher = ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 *** Part of /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf *** # SSL Engine Switch: # Enable/Disable SSL for this virtual host.

BTRFS to ext4
by Christopher Wensink 05 Jul '21

05 Jul '21

Hello Everyone, We have two virtual machines running CentOS 7, one for file sharing and one for email. Both base Filesystems run BTRFS. I need to convert both filesystems over from BTRFS to ext4. Both guest VM's are in a vmware environment on the same server. The file server has 2.8 TB of space total allocated to it, 2.1 TB of total used space The mail server has 2TB allocated to it, and 982 GB of total used space. The host it is attached to has 13.97 TB of total usable space, with 3.4 TB free. What steps would you go through to migrate the file systems over? Would you set up a duplicate VM and rsync data over? Expand the capacity of the existing VM, add a new partition then move data over from one partition to another from within the same VM? What are your thoughts? -- Christopher Wensink IS Administrator Five Star Plastics, Inc 1339 Continental Drive Eau Claire, WI 54701 Office: 715-831-1682 Mobile: 715-563-3112 Fax: 715-831-6075 cwensink(a)five-star-plastics.com www.five-star-plastics.com

Two directories for 8.4.2105 and 8-stream in the centos mirrors
by Burn Alting 05 Jul '21

05 Jul '21

Recently, it appears that two directories for 8.4 and 8-stream are being distributed in the Centos mirrors. You can't see it if you view the mirrors, but if one downloads the filelist.gz file and grep for '^\.\/\.' one will see the directories, with content, .8.4.2105 and .8-stream. Can this be explained? An error or a new distribution concept?? Rgds
