EL9 says: pcp-pmie[2870]: Low random number entropy available 15.6%
by Simon Matter 04 Mar '23

04 Mar '23

Hi, I've discovered an issue which I don't understand. On a new test install of EL9 I saw this message in the logs: Mar 01 08:09:18 <hostname> pcp-pmie[2870]: Low random number entropy available 15.6%avail(a)beta.corp.invoca.ch This is on a 64 core "AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 6282 SE" server but I also got the same low entropy on an EL9 KVM guest running on a "AMD EPYC 7601" server. After a lot of searching the net I understand that rng has been reworked in 5.x kernels and /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail reaches only 256 in default configurations. But why does it go too low on a test system with almost not load? Is this an issue with AMD CPUs or does it also happen on other systems? Thanks for any insights, Simon

EL9/udev generates wrong device nodes/symlinks with HPE Smart Array controller
by Simon Matter 02 Mar '23

Hi, I see some strange and dangerous things happening on a HPE server with HPE Smart Array controller where EL9 ends up with wrong device nodes/symlinks to the attached disks/raid volumes: (I didn't touch anything here but at 08:09 some symlinks were changed) /dev/disk/by-id/: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 1 07:57 scsi-0HP_LOGICAL_VOLUME_00000000 -> ../../sdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Mar 1 07:57 scsi-0HP_LOGICAL_VOLUME_00000000-part1 -> ../../sdc1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Mar 1 07:57 scsi-0HP_LOGICAL_VOLUME_00000000-part2 -> ../../sdc2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 1 07:57 scsi-0HP_LOGICAL_VOLUME_01000000 -> ../../sdb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 1 08:09 scsi-0HP_LOGICAL_VOLUME_02000000 -> ../../sda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 1 07:57 scsi-0HP_LOGICAL_VOLUME_03000000 -> ../../sdd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 1 08:09 scsi-SHP_LOGICAL_VOLUME_500143801722C0B0 -> ../../sda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Mar 1 07:57 scsi-SHP_LOGICAL_VOLUME_500143801722C0B0-part1 -> ../../sdc1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Mar 1 07:57 scsi-SHP_LOGICAL_VOLUME_500143801722C0B0-part2 -> ../../sdc2 /dev/disk/by-path/: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 1 07:57 pci-0000:03:00.0-scsi-0:1:0:0 -> ../../sdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Mar 1 07:57 pci-0000:03:00.0-scsi-0:1:0:0-part1 -> ../../sdc1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Mar 1 07:57 pci-0000:03:00.0-scsi-0:1:0:0-part2 -> ../../sdc2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 1 07:57 pci-0000:03:00.0-scsi-0:1:0:1 -> ../../sdb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 1 08:09 pci-0000:03:00.0-scsi-0:1:0:2 -> ../../sda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 1 07:57 pci-0000:03:00.0-scsi-0:1:0:3 -> ../../sdd After rebooting, the things are different but also wrong: (here nothing has changed after boot but symlinks are already wrong) /dev/disk/by-id/: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 1 10:56 scsi-0HP_LOGICAL_VOLUME_00000000 -> ../../sdb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Mar 1 10:56 scsi-0HP_LOGICAL_VOLUME_00000000-part1 -> ../../sdb1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Mar 1 10:56 scsi-0HP_LOGICAL_VOLUME_00000000-part2 -> ../../sdb2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 1 10:56 scsi-0HP_LOGICAL_VOLUME_01000000 -> ../../sda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 1 10:56 scsi-0HP_LOGICAL_VOLUME_02000000 -> ../../sdd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 1 10:56 scsi-0HP_LOGICAL_VOLUME_03000000 -> ../../sdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 1 10:56 scsi-SHP_LOGICAL_VOLUME_500143801722C0B0 -> ../../sda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Mar 1 10:56 scsi-SHP_LOGICAL_VOLUME_500143801722C0B0-part1 -> ../../sdb1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Mar 1 10:56 scsi-SHP_LOGICAL_VOLUME_500143801722C0B0-part2 -> ../../sdb2 /dev/disk/by-path/: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 1 10:56 pci-0000:03:00.0-scsi-0:1:0:0 -> ../../sdb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Mar 1 10:56 pci-0000:03:00.0-scsi-0:1:0:0-part1 -> ../../sdb1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Mar 1 10:56 pci-0000:03:00.0-scsi-0:1:0:0-part2 -> ../../sdb2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 1 10:56 pci-0000:03:00.0-scsi-0:1:0:1 -> ../../sda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 1 10:56 pci-0000:03:00.0-scsi-0:1:0:2 -> ../../sdd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 1 10:56 pci-0000:03:00.0-scsi-0:1:0:3 -> ../../sdc Note that two things are strange: 1) the /dev/sd* nodes are in a random order after every restart. # lsscsi [1:0:0:0] storage HP P410i 6.64 - [1:1:0:0] disk HP LOGICAL VOLUME 6.64 /dev/sdb [1:1:0:1] disk HP LOGICAL VOLUME 6.64 /dev/sda [1:1:0:2] disk HP LOGICAL VOLUME 6.64 /dev/sdd [1:1:0:3] disk HP LOGICAL VOLUME 6.64 /dev/sdc 2) some symlinks created by udev are just wrong and therefore very dangerous to use: scsi-SHP_LOGICAL_VOLUME_500143801722C0B0 -> ../../sda scsi-SHP_LOGICAL_VOLUME_500143801722C0B0-part1 -> ../../sdb1 scsi-SHP_LOGICAL_VOLUME_500143801722C0B0-part2 -> ../../sdb2 While 1 may be expected(???) I think 2 should really not happen. I've tried to find out where things go wrong but the whole udev stuff started to hurt my brain :) I'm quite sure HPE Smart Array based servers are quite common so my big question is: do others see that same? While it's possible to live with this mess I'd really like to fix it somehow. Thanks, Simon
