CentOS, XFS, VirtualBox - can they just get along?
by Boris Epstein 25 Apr '12

25 Apr '12

Hello all, I am running VirtualBox 4.1 on CentOS 6 and I got this warning that putting your VM's into an XFS filesystem is risky. I have also heard some rumors on the net to this effect. Does anyone know in more detail what's behind those rumors? Thanks. Boris.

Does SMTP Connection Drop When Posfix Reload is Issued ?
by Prabhpal S. Mavi 25 Apr '12

25 Apr '12

Dear Community Friends Greetings, i work with ISP, we host email service for almost 500+ companies and 200+ mail servers relay through my smart host. i implemented something that when our smart host would become blacklisted. It will automatic switch to next available smart host (which is ready sitting). that mean it will start relaying message through another smart host automatically. i think i must tell little background as well. it is actually php script that perform blacklist check every minute through cron. if it found that IP is blacklisted. It will then insert "relay host =" value in main.cf and reload postfix service. When IP is no more blacklisted it will then remove the same directive from main.cf and reload postfix. everything is working as expected. i have one question, when we reload postfix does it drop active SMTP session? for example lets say that remote SMTP server is delivering message to my postfix that has 8MB attachment. message was not fully transferred. lets say that 4MB was transferred. and i issued "postfix reload". will that connection drop or continue to deliver the mail? Thanks / Regards Prabhpal S. Mavi

Latest 6.2 kernel is broken
by Lars Hecking 25 Apr '12

25 Apr '12

I just kickstarted a new machine with the latest CentOS 6.2 files, including kernel 2.6.32-220.13.1.el6.x86_64. It came up without network interfaces. dmesg says: bnx2: Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Driver bnx2 v2.2.1 (Dec 18, 2011) alloc irq_desc for 36 on node -1 alloc kstat_irqs on node -1 bnx2 0000:01:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 36 (level, low) -> IRQ 36 bnx2 0000:01:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 bnx2 0000:01:00.0: firmware: requesting bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1b.fw bnx2: Can't load firmware file "bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1b.fw" bnx2 0000:01:00.0: PCI INT A disabled bnx2: probe of 0000:01:00.0 failed with error -2 The firmware file is missing from /lib/firmware and the kernel-firmware rpm. I found a copy of it on a Fedora site and dumped it into the right location, but it wasn't found after a reboot. Yet, it was found after a second reboot. Why is that? Is a rebuild of initramfs triggered somehow? What I don't understand is: I have an identical machine that I installed under 6.2 a while back, and kept up to date, and it doesn't have this problem. However, it tells me it uses version v2.1.11 (July 20, 2011) of the driver, how is that possible? # grep bnx2 /var/log/messages Apr 23 17:10:03 localhost kernel: bnx2: Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Driver bnx2 v2.1.11 (July 20, 2011) Apr 23 17:10:03 localhost kernel: bnx2 0000:01:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 36 (level, low) -> IRQ 36 Apr 23 17:10:03 localhost kernel: bnx2 0000:01:00.0: firmware: requesting bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1a.fw Apr 23 17:10:03 localhost kernel: bnx2 0000:01:00.0: firmware: requesting bnx2/bnx2-rv2p-09-6.0.17.fw Apr 23 17:10:03 localhost kernel: bnx2 0000:01:00.0: eth0: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5716 1000Base-T (C0) PCI Express found at mem da000000, IRQ 36, node addr 78:2b:cb:67:3f:b6 [...] # modinfo /lib/modules/2.6.32-220.13.1.el6.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/bnx2.ko filename: /lib/modules/2.6.32-220.13.1.el6.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/bnx2.ko firmware: bnx2/bnx2-rv2p-09ax-6.0.17.fw firmware: bnx2/bnx2-rv2p-09-6.0.17.fw firmware: bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1a.fw firmware: bnx2/bnx2-rv2p-06-6.0.15.fw firmware: bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-6.2.1.fw version: 2.1.11 license: GPL description: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5706/5708/5709/5716 Driver [...] # lspci -v -s 01:00.1 01:00.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5716 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 20) Subsystem: Dell PowerEdge R410 BCM5716 Gigabit Ethernet Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 48 Memory at dc000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32M] Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [50] Vital Product Data Capabilities: [58] MSI: Enable- Count=1/16 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [a0] MSI-X: Enable+ Count=9 Masked- Capabilities: [ac] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Device Serial Number 78-2b-cb-ff-fe-67-3f-b7 Capabilities: [110] Advanced Error Reporting Capabilities: [150] Power Budgeting <?> Capabilities: [160] Virtual Channel <?> Kernel driver in use: bnx2 Kernel modules: bnx2

ldap, 2.3 primary, 2.4 secondary
by aurfalien 25 Apr '12

25 Apr '12

Hi all, Is it possible to use a 2.3 OpenLDAP primary while having a 2.4 OpenLDAP secondary? Currently I have all at 2.3 (Centos 5) but am needing to up a remote facility to Centos 6 before doing the main facility to 6. Hoping I can mix and match but it looks like I may not be able to. My LDAP secondaries pull the DB over pretty frequently so I would be doing the same thing here. I would have asked the OpenLDAP list but you are much nicer to an order of magnitude, seriously. Thanks in advance, - aurf

strange partitioning problem
by Boris Epstein 25 Apr '12

25 Apr '12

Hello listmates, Here's I am, trying to install Centos 6.2 64-bit on a server with 24 TB of disk RAIDed as RAID 6. So I get this 18 TB disk (the RAID is recognized as one disk) where I am trying to put my OS. And I can create a couple of partitions - let us say I defiine a 150 GB swap, a 150 GB "/", a 100 GB "/var". So far so good. Then I try to define the next one, say, a 100 GB "/tmp" and get a message stating there is not enough disk space whereas I still have over 18 TB free and the installation interface reflects that accurately! I am at a loss. Is that something related to the sheer size of the disk? Why would this happen - especially at so basic a stage of the process? At any rate, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Boris.

"rename3" ethernet NIC?

Hello listmates, Bizarrely enough, I ended up with what I intended to be called "eth1" being called "rename3". Would anybody have any idea what the cause could be of this? Thanks. Boris.

HI I have something in /var/log/audit/audit.log like: avc: denied { write } for pid=23739 comm="httpd" name="renderd.sock" dev=dm-0 ino=1183752 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0 tclass=sock_file use audit2allow it generates something like this: allow httpd_t var_run_t:sock_file write; Is the rule too liberal? that means httpd_t can write any var_run_t 's sock_file? Or I miss-understand something? Should it only allow httpd_t to write this specific render.sock file? If so, what's the right way to do? Thanks. min
