Is there a partition on the lv that the installer can find? I run into this all the time when using an lv storage pool and an lv based virtio drive. I first have to fdisk the newly allocated drive and do a partprobe before the vm guest will recognize that it has the space. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Can,t get pam_mkhomedir to work...
by Nicolas Ross 08 Sep '12

08 Sep '12

On a ldap enabled CentOS 6.3 x64 system, I try to make it so home directories are auto-created. I added this : session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0077 to my /etc/pam.d/system-auth And it does nothing. I restarted messagebus (I've seen references to that) and sshd, and logs don't mention anything in regards to pam_mkhomedir... Any hints ?

centos email server suddenly much slower. What to do?
by Marco Fioretti 08 Sep '12

08 Sep '12

Greetings, I run my own email server for some domains I administer, on a centos vps server with a very small number of users. The only services are smtp, imap/pop, webmail Everything was running without problems until this morning. I left home for 1/2 hours, and when I came back everything had become about 100x slower (seriously!). The services were/are still all up and running, but practically unusable (even running mutt in my ssh session is almost frozen). I have not changed/updated anything in the last 1/2 weeks. I have already done a few checks with the VPS provider, and it looks like: network & hardware are OK there seem to be no strange processes running. I didn't manage to save the output of "top", but it didn't show anything that (AFAICT, of course) should not be there on an email server however, there is something that is using "much more memory than normal" (see the comment below from the hosting sysadmin after he checked user_beancounters). Initially we thought it was apache, but even switching it off didn't change anything. What now? Any help to understand what the heck happened, and find out what exactly _started_ to cause this problem is very welcome!

This means your VPS tried to use more RAM than what is available (e.g. more than 1GB RAM). If you are only running some basic mail services on your VPS, that's definitely not normal and you should investigate that accordingly. We have fully checked everything for hardware and network problems and everything is working flawlessly. In combination with the RAM shortage errors, it is safe to conclude that there's something within your VPS itself that's malfunctioning.

Unable to remove an lvm on CentOS-6
by James B. Byrne 07 Sep '12

07 Sep '12

I mistyped the storage allocation for an additional virtio drive for one of our vm guests and now I cannot get rid of the thing. I have discovered that this is probably, indeed almost certainly, related to udev but the few work arounds I have found all seem to fail for me. Does anyone here know how to remove these things? When I try this: # for i in {1..200}; do udevadm control --stop-exec-queue ; lvremove -f /dev/vg_vhost01/lv_vm_inet05.harte-lyne.ca_01; udevadm control --start-exec-queue; done I get hundreds of these: Logical volume vg_vhost01/lv_vm_inet05.harte-lyne.ca_01 is used by another device. # lsof /dev/vg_vhost01/lv_vm_inet05.harte-lyne.ca_01 # I recall that I ran into this before and I have a sinking feeling that the 'fix' was to reinstall the then new virtual host OS. I have (re-)opened a bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=855409 But if anyone has a recipe to deal with this I would be grateful if you would share it. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

odd dependency
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 07 Sep '12

07 Sep '12

I'm putting the finishing touches on a new server, which will be replacing an old one. It's got a non-rpm ruby package (I hear lots of not-nice things about the RH package). The new server had ruby installed, so I went to yum remove it. And it removed ibutils as a dependency of ruby or ruby-libs. rpm -qi of ibutils tells me Summary : OpenIB Mellanox InfiniBand Diagnostic Tools Description : ibutils provides IB network and path diagnostics. On 5.8, it's installed, and ruby isn't. Anyone have any idea why Infiniband utils should be required for ruby? mark

Simple routing question
by James B. Byrne 07 Sep '12

07 Sep '12

We use a dual homed CentOS-6.3 host for our Internet gateway router. Its internal nic (eth1) is configured such that the address 192.168.0.1 is one of its aliases. # cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1:192BOOTPROTO=none BROADCAST=192.168.255.255 DEVICE=eth1:192 IPADDR=192.168.0.1 IPV6INIT=no MTU="" NAME="LAN - Non-routable" NETMASK=255.255.0.0 NETWORK=192.168.0.0 ONBOOT=yes ONPARENT=yes Internal packets routed to 192.168.209.41 are passing through this router out onto the network. I am afraid that the reason is not evident to me and I have been unable to locate an answer. The primary address for eth1 has the following configuration: # cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 BOOTPROTO=none BROADCAST="" DEFROUTE=yes DEVICE=eth1 DOMAIN="hamilton.harte-lyne.ca harte-lyne.ca" GATEWAY=216.xxx.yyy.53 HWADDR=00:25:90:60:11:8D IPADDR=216.xxx.xxx.1 IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no IPV6INIT=yes IPV6_PEERDNS=yes IPV6_PEERROUTES=yes MACADDR="" MTU="" NAME="LAN Link - eth1" NETMASK="" NETWORK="" NM_CONTROLLED=no ONBOOT=yes PREFIX=24 TYPE=Ethernet UUID=9c92fad9-6ecb-3e6c-eb4d-8a47c6f50c04 What configuration setting am I missing that will cause packets to 192.168.ccc.ddd to stay on the LAN and not try and pass though the WAN interface? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
