Re: [CentOS] Simple routing question
by James B. Byrne 06 Sep '12

Well, I seem to be getting somewhere, although where exactly is open to question. I did this. I put the virtual interface address 192.168.0.1 back onto eth1 of the gateway host and restarted the network services. The ifcfg file looked like this: BOOTPROTO=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 After the restart ip addr showed this: 3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 00:25:90:60:11:8d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet aaa.bbb.ccc.1/24 brd aaa.bbb.ccc.255 scope global eth1 inet 192.168.0.1/24 brd 192.168.255.255 scope global eth1:192 inet6 fe80::225:90ff:fe60:118d/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever Note the cidr suffix on 192.168.0.1 = 24 That is not what I expected. Restarting with the same config did not change the initially observed outcome. SO, I edited ifcfg-eth1:192 and added exactly one line: PREFIX="16" and restarted the network. ip addr now shows this: 3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 00:25:90:60:11:8d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet aaa.bbb.ccc.1/24 brd aaa.bbb.ccc.255 scope global eth1 inet 192.168.0.1/16 brd 192.168.255.255 scope global eth1:192 inet6 fe80::225:90ff:fe60:118d/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever Note that the cidr suffix is now 16. Now, when I try and ping an address on the 192.168 netblock from host C I see this: # ping 192.168.209.43 PING 192.168.209.43 (192.168.209.43) 56(84) bytes of data. >From 216.185.71.1: icmp_seq=2 Redirect Host(New nexthop: 192.168.209.43) >From 216.185.71.1: icmp_seq=3 Redirect Host(New nexthop: 192.168.209.43) >From 216.185.71.1: icmp_seq=4 Redirect Host(New nexthop: 192.168.209.43) >From 216.185.71.1: icmp_seq=5 Redirect Host(New nexthop: 192.168.209.43) >From 216.185.71.1: icmp_seq=6 Redirect Host(New nexthop: 192.168.209.43) My question now is how do I get to 192.168.209.43? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

C6 VM text install not recognizing LV
by Leonard den Ottolander 06 Sep '12

06 Sep '12

Hi, I am trying to install a C6 VM on C6 using the text installer using: # virt-install -n C6_1 -r 3072 --os-variant=rhel6 -l \ ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/site/centos.org/CentOS/6.3/os/x86_64/ --disk \ path=/dev/VG1/vm_c6_1 -w network:default --nographics \ -x "console=ttyS0" --autostart /dev/VG1/vm_c6_1 has been successfully created. The installation starts but once I get to the disk partitioning no disk is listed and I cannot continue the installation. Even worse, if I press space on the empty list CPU usage goes up to 100% for the qemu-kvm process. ps shows root 26769 0.0 0.1 305120 22108 pts/2 S+ 16:34 0:00 /usr/bin/python -tt /usr/sbin/virt-install -n C6_1 -r 3072 --os-variant=rhel6 -l ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/site/centos.org/CentOS/6.3/os/x86_64/ --disk path=/dev/VG1/vm_c6_1 -w network:default --nographics -x console=ttyS0 --autostart qemu 26801 1.0 3.4 3490408 564540 ?

Where else could it go? Or is that 2nd 169.254.0.0 a typo? <--- You see, this is the question I am trying to fathom. Once upon a time, 2 days ago, the interface on the gateway system included ifcfg-eth1:192 which had the address 192.168.0.1 and the netmask 255.255.255.0. At that point I was not aware of any underlying problems and virtual interfaces on other hosts which had addresses like 192.168.216.ddd could be found and connected to from internal host addresses of the form aaa.bbb.ccc.0 where aaa.bbb.ccc is our publicly routable C class assigned address block. The difficulties started when I began testing a new virtual host which eventually will be moved off-site to our DR facility (which is a lot less impressive in fact than it appears when I write that, but at least we have one). On that machine, for no particular reason, I decided to use a different sub-net for the 192.168 IP on the VM guests eth1 i/f. When I did that the kvm host could connect to those i/f, presumably because its own eth1 was set to an address on the same netblock (192.168.209.43) but no other host could connect to either the host's eth1 or any of the running guests' eth1. This is what prompted the question which has turned into this thread. When I set this network up many ages ago I added 192.168.0.1 to the internal i/f of the gateway router in the apparently unfounded belief that if the router knew that the internal i/d had an address in the 192.168 address space then it would not try to route traffic destined for those addresses through the router. As I say, my knowledge of this is very limited. Although, to be fair, everything has worked as I expected up to now and this situation is simply an experiment of my own devising. So, I am hardly a walking accident waiting to happen. What I wanted to have happen was for all traffic destined for 192.168.anything to stay inside the LAN and attached to the specified address, while any traffic that originated from 192.168.anything destined to anywhere else would route through the gateway; where it is NAT mangled. I just want to understand what is going on in this specific case without delving deeply into the subject of routing, for which I do not have the luxury of time. This not impacting anything of significance so I take it up on a time available basis. On the other hand, I am definitely gaining an education in the process. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Advice on partitioning a Dell MD1200 disk array
by Tony Molloy 05 Sep '12

05 Sep '12

Hi, I've just got possession of a Dell PE R720 with 2 MD1200 disk enclosures. Both MD1200 are fully populated with 12 x 3 TB disks The system will basically be a student file-server running CentOS 6.x serving various size files from small c programs to multi gigabyte audio and video files over GB ethernet. The first MD1200 will be configured as the NFS disk. The requirements are for 6 fixed equally sized partitions, one for each cohort of students. For this I was thinking of splitting the MD1200 into 2 RAID5 arrays with a hot spare each. Then partitioning each into 3 ext4 partitions. The second MD1200 will be used to backup the first, using BackupPC and for other storage purposes. As I won't know the storage requirements for the "backup partition" and they will probably change over time anyway. I was thinking of using LVM for it. So how to partition the MD1200 for LVM. I don't want to put all 12 disks in a RAID5 and put a LVM volume on it. Can I split it into 2 RAID5 and have a LVM volume spanning both. Any suggestions. Just remember I'm due to retire at the end of this month so this will be my last big job for the Dept. And due to financial constraints I will not be replaced. So I will be handing this machine over to a co- worker who is basically a Windoze admin with only a basic knowledge of Linux so nothing too fancy. ;-) Thanks, Tony -- Tony Molloy CTO, Dept. of Comp. Sci. University of Limerick Limerick. Ireland

Booting and ignoring sysct.conf...
by John Doe 05 Sep '12

05 Sep '12

Hi, just wondering if there was a way to boot while ignoring sysctl.conf... A colleague messed up one parameter, that ended up crashing the server at boot time. Booting in single was not helping. Fixed it by booting on a live CD and modifying the sysctl file but, it would be convenient to know if there was a kernel parameter to add to the grub entry or something to bypass it... But I see it is run in /etc/init.d/functions, so maybe it is not avoidable. Thx, JD
