server fails to boot GRUB and flashing cursor
by Dan Carl 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

I have a power edge with raid5 that contains Centos 5.4. I had a drive failure, anyway the array is optimal now but the server won't boot. I can boot from a Centos 5.3 liveCD and all the data is still there. There is no grub.conf just shows a broken link. Is fixing this as simple as gub-install |--root-directory=/mnt/disc/sda3 /dev/sda| Before screwing things up I am seeking your all's advice. Thanks in advance Dan # fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 72.7 GB, 72729231360 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 8842 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/sda2 14 658 5180962+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda3 659 8842 65737980 83 Linux -- Dan Carl 651-766-2800 x218 651-491-9712 Mobile

glibc update
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

Still too much blood in my caffeine stream.... IIRC, someone was asking about a problem with DNS queries and IPv6 yesterday. I just got a notification from RH this morning, about a glibc bugfix update, and wondered if this might impact that problem.... Excerpt: This update fixes the following bug: * Prior to this update, glibc incorrectly handled the "options rotate" option in the /etc/resolv.conf file when this file also contained one or more IPv6 name servers. Consequently, DNS queries could unexpectedly fail, particularly when multiple queries were issued by a single process. This update fixes internalization of the listed servers from /etc/resolv.conf into glibc's internal structures, as well as the sorting and rotation of those structures to implement the "options rotate" capability. Now, DNS names are resolved correctly in glibc in the described scenario. (BZ#843571) --- end excerpt --- mark

Odd issue with fail2ban
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

We're seeing on a few of our servers - and sometimes it's only occasionally on some of those - where fail2ban's running happily, AFAIK, but there's an attack (from China, Brazil, etc) on ssh, and they don't seem to be banned; I see many, many sorries for wrong username or password. It *seems* to work again once restarted. mark
