CentOS-5.7 + megaraid + SELinux : update problem
by Philippe Naudin 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

Hello, After updating to CentOS-5.7, I have a (small) problem : The context of /dev/megadev0 is now defined (in /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts) as system_u:object_r:removable_device_t:s0. This cause smartmontools to fail : avc: denied { read write } for pid=2847 comm="smartd" name="megadev0" dev=tmpfs ino=8284 scontext=system_u:system_r:fsdaemon_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:removable_device_t:s0 tclass=chr_file Changing the context (of megadev0) to fixed_disk_device_t solves the problem, but is this the best solution ? Thanks, -- Philippe Naudin UMR MISTEA : Mathématiques, Informatique et STatistique pour l'Environnement et l'Agronomie INRA, bâtiment 29 - 2 place Viala - 34060 Montpellier cedex 2 tél: 04.99.61.26.34, fax: 04.99.61.29.03, mél: naudin(a)supagro.inra.fr

VirtualBox on CentOS 6.0?
by David McGuffey 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

I have an older quad-core AMD processor that supports hardware virtualization on a motherboard that does not support it in the bios. Eventually I'll swap the mobo out on this box for one that will support hardware virtualization and use qemu-kvm. I prefer kvm because of SELinux and sVirt that protects the host from VM breakout should a VM become hostile. In the meantime, I want to start work on a web project and want to use this idle machine and CentOS 6.0 in a VM. What I prototype and learn will eventually be moved to the production machine using kvm and sVirt. So...I downloaded and installed Virtualbox 4.x but haven't yet had the time to check it out. Any tips/tricks concerning it? Dave

What happened to 6.1
by Jerry Geis 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

Hi gang - Love CentOS - you guys to a fabulous job. It has been a while since I saw any update... I went to twitter.com/centos nothing there, twitter.com/centos6 nothing there, went to the qa calendar stuff nothing there. Last I saw was something in September saying all RPM's are built and doing ISO's. Then nothing. I know the whole story about its ready when its ready and I'm all for that... Its simply I went looking today and saw no status and was wondering what happened. Perhaps I am looking in the wrong place. Thanks! jerry

CentOS 4 Dovecot Problem
by John Hinton 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

For those of you that still are running CentOS 4... I have one system that is still going... there is a problem with the newest release of Dovecot under mbox. Certain spam is causing this error when users try to log on. file lib.c: line 37 (nearest_power): assertion failed: (num <= ((size_t)1 << (BITS_IN_SIZE_T-1))) Rolling back to a previous release fixes these issues. I'm not bothering to file a bug with Redhat as the EOL is rapidly approaching and I just about have my one system's users moved to a new server. I have not as of yet seen this problem on CentOS 5 mbox systems, but I don't have many users on those systems either as I'm 'slowly' migrating all to CentOS 6 Maildir systems. -- John Hinton 877-777-1407 ext 502 http://www.ew3d.com Comprehensive Online Solutions

NSS ldap problems
by Mitch Patenaude 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

I'm having trouble setting up ldap based authenication. I have a virtual (KVM) CentOS 5.4 box set up to authenticate to a 389 (fedora) directory server, and that works fine. However, I set up a virtual box running CentOS 6, and I can't get it to authenicate. I've run authconfig with the appropriate flags, ldapsearch properly finds the data, but I can't log in. /var/log/secure shows that it doesn't find the user, and as a test I came up with the following perl snippet: perl -e 'print join(" ",getpwnam("testuser")),"\n";' And it properly finds the test user on the 5.4 box, but not the 6.0 box. I've checked /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/openldap/ldap.conf and both seem about right. Here are the ldap related packaged installed on the 6.0 box: [root@vburntest02 ~]# rpm -qa | grep ldap openldap-2.4.19-15.el6_0.2.x86_64 pam_ldap-185-5.el6.x86_64 nss-pam-ldapd-0.7.5-3.el6.x86_64 openldap-clients-2.4.19-15.el6_0.2.x86_64 apr-util-ldap-1.3.9-3.el6.x86_64 Any idea what to check next? Thanks, -- Mitch

Duplicated packages in CR repo?
by Patrick Hurrelmann 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

Hi all, during upgrades of my systems via spacewalk and the continuous release repository, I encountered a problem with the rsyslog packages. It seems that the last update was build twice. Once with a correct name and once with a broken one (missing dot in the name before el6). On CR-repo mirrors: rsyslog-4.6.2-3.el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm 19-Oct-2011 13:04 rsyslog-4.6.2-3el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm 19-Oct-2011 13:04 rsyslog-gnutls-4.6.2-3.el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm 19-Oct-2011 13:04 rsyslog-gnutls-4.6.2-3el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm 19-Oct-2011 13:04 rsyslog-gssapi-4.6.2-3.el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm 19-Oct-2011 13:04 rsyslog-gssapi-4.6.2-3el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm 19-Oct-2011 13:04 rsyslog-mysql-4.6.2-3.el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm 19-Oct-2011 13:04 rsyslog-mysql-4.6.2-3el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm 19-Oct-2011 13:04 rsyslog-pgsql-4.6.2-3.el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm 19-Oct-2011 13:04 rsyslog-pgsql-4.6.2-3el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm 19-Oct-2011 13:04 rsyslog-relp-4.6.2-3.el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm 19-Oct-2011 13:04 rsyslog-relp-4.6.2-3el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm 19-Oct-2011 13:04 The same is true for several other packages uploaded to CR repo on 19-Oct-2011: - corosync - xorg-x11-server Corosync also exists with a correct name in the repo, but xorg-x11-server does not. Maybe someone can have a look on this or am I overreacting? I successfully fixed my broken updates by a manual downgrade followed by an update with the correctly named package. Best regards Patrick

ibm m1015 w/sandy bridge boot failure
by Matt Garman 31 Oct '11

31 Oct '11

I have a server running CentOS 6.0. Last night I replaced the CPU and motherboard. Old hardware: Supermicro x8sil-f + x3440. New hardware: Supermicro x9scl+-f + E3-1230. This is a new Sandy Bridge Xeon. Everything else remained the same, including an IBM m1015 SAS HBA. This is just an IBM re-branded LSI 92xx-8i (9220-8i specifically I believe), which uses the LSI SAS2008 chipset and the megaraid_sas driver. It worked without any issue on the old motherboard/cpu. However, with the new motherboard/cpu, the system makes it through the BIOS POST without any issue. But about half-way through the kernel initialization, it basically locks up. It will sit there for several minutes, doing nothing, then start printing out error messages (I was unable to get a screenshot or take note of the errors). But if I take the m1015 card out, the system boots quickly and without issue, as it always has. I saw this post[1] on the forums, which suggested that Sandy Bridge really needs 6.1, which, for those of us using CentOS, we can only get sorta close to by using the continuous release. So I did a "yum install centos-release-cr ; yum update". I let everything install (there were no install errors or problems), and rebooted with the m1015 in back in the system, but the problem remains. So now I'm at a loss. Anyone have any thoughts?
