Centos 5.8: starting firefox-16.0.1 kills X
by fred smith 19 Oct '12

19 Oct '12

This just started happening this evening. a little history: way back last year, or thereabouts, I posted about a weird problem I was having. over the course of 2 or 3 days I figured out how to fix it, but not what the cause was. the fix amounts to navigating to my user's .local/share/mime directory and removing the file named "globs". So, back in the present: this evening that same problem recurred for the 3rd or 4th time since the original event mentioned above. so I deleted that file, logged off and back on (without the log off/on, the problem still occurs). Having done that, I went to fire up firefox and KABOOM!! X dies and I land back at a login prompt. several times. every time. tried running firefox from a terminal but I don't see anything echoed to the terminal before it is blown away. I still have the tarball from mozilla.org, so I moved aside the directory where the firefox runtime stuff is, re-extracted the tarball and it still croaks in the same way. I'd appreciate some ideas to try, if anyone has any. Thanks in advance! In the meantime, Opera works (though I can't install 12.0.2 for lack of a suitable version of rpmlib, so I'm not left browseerless.

CentOS6 and pam_access
by lhecking＠users.sourceforge.net 19 Oct '12

19 Oct '12

I just realised that pam_access no longer works under CentOS6 - or it works differently from CentOS5. Under CentOS5, I used this configuration to restrict access to root only: # cat /etc/security/access.conf + : root : ALL - : ALL : ALL # cat /etc/pam.d/system-auth-ac ... account required pam_access.so account required pam_unix.so account sufficient pam_localuser.so account sufficient pam_succeed_if.so uid < 500 quiet account required pam_permit.so ... # Under CentOS6, this has no effect and I can still login as non-root user. What am I missing?

Hi Guys, Has anyone used the EPEL packages associated with rabbitvcs-nautilius on centos 6.3 (fully patched)? I have it installed, but it doesn't add the additional menu options when I right click a folder within nautilus.

Linux Software RAID 1 - Unequal Sized Hard Disks
by Manish Kathuria 18 Oct '12

18 Oct '12

Has anyone created or rebuilt a Linux Software RAID having mirrored partitions on unequal sized hard disks ? There is a CentOS 5 server having two 400 GB hard disks with five mirrored partitions (software RAID 1) and one of the hard disks is dying. Since new 400 GB HDDs are not available here, we are exploring the possibility of replacing the faulty hard disk with one of a higher capacity (500 GB or more). And once it is fully replicated, we plan to replace the other 400 GB HDD also with another hard disk of the same higher capacity. Just want to know if anyone has done something similar and what are the chances of success (or data loss) ? Thanks, -- Manish

Debugging I/O Errors that abort the journal
by james 18 Oct '12

18 Oct '12

I got a I/O error on one of my disks that caused the journal to abort (error below) and be mounted in read only mode. I rebooted and the file system check ran automatically and resolved the error. I did some searching around and couldn't find a likely cause (the disk is a virtual disk, shared from a SAN for VMWare ESXi5.0). An hour after bringing the system back up, we got another one. Same sort of error, different inode. Went to run level 1, and ran fsck manually (running now). I don't see any obvious errors in the vmware-log file for the VM. Or on the SAN. All the other VMs are running fine and I don't see any issues there. Is there a good process to follow when trying to debug an I/O error like this? There are so many variables in this case. Wasn't sure if there were any ext3 utilities that I don't know about but should be using Error: Oct 18 02:52:38 shiva clamd[3978]: SelfCheck: Database status OK.

Remember Linux Soft RAID is for partitions not disks, then, you need to create the new partitions on the bigger drive at the same size of the old ones. Then replicate. When you had changed the two drives you can create a new soft RAID partition on the space leaved. But, if you are already planning on change the two disks. You can mount a new RAID1 schema using the new drives and then copy the data to the new disks. As for guarentee the safest of the data, first backup :D Antonio. -- +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Antonio S.
