mysql Workbench
by Rajagopal Swaminathan 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

Greetings, Is there a centos repo with mysql workbench anywhere. In the same vein, is there a publicly available build system for centos where people can submit the source tar.gz and get hotly baked rpm and the icing would be with some way to resolve dependencies?? It would be great to have one.. Regards and thanks, Rajagopal

cryptoloop
by Morten Sundstrøm 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

Hi. Have a problem that i need som help with: 1. Have multipple raids working in a encrypted filesystem in CentOS 5.4 (i386): script file, crypt.sh modprobe cryptoloop losetup -e aes /dev/loop0 /dev/md0 (inserting password here) then run mount -t ext3 /dev/loop0 /mnt/raid5 Have been using this in CentOS for a long time and works like a charm. 2. Raids is now moved to another server with ubuntu server 9.10 (64bit) Raid is detected fine and working. Do the same thing again and get: sudo modprobe cryptoloop (ok) sudo losetup -e aes /dev/loop0 /dev/md0 (ok) sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/loop0 /mnt/raid5 (failes with the following msg) mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so ubuntu: cat /proc/crypto |grep aes name : ecb(aes) driver : ecb(aes-asm) name : cbc(aes) driver : cbc(aes-asm) name : cbc(aes) driver : cbc(aes-asm) name : aes driver : aes-asm module : aes_x86_64 name : aes driver : aes-generic module : aes_generic Is there compatible issues here? Can it be that the old server was using i386 arch and the new is 64bit? losetup version differs? Any insight is appreciated.

perl updates always break perl programs, how to fix?
by James Chase 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

I realize this is my fault because once upon a time I installed a package using CPAN and probably other admins on the system have as well but now whenever I update perl I have to jump through hoops to get perl applications to work again (usually updating Scalar::Util and another package with CPAN). I would love to figure out how to fix this so it's not such a headache to keep up to date with perl, but I can't figure out how. I tried moving my /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl directory out of the way and installing perl-Scar-Util using yum but it doesn't let me because the perl-5.8.8 rpm owns the man file for that. I'm not sure why the default Scalar-Util (isn't it built in to the base install of perl on CentOS) doesn't work in the first place? Also I do add perl packages via the dag/rpmforge repo, not sure if that messes up the perl updates too. Sorry I realize this could also be classified as a perl question -- but I'm hopeful other centos admins found a way to get their centos back into compliance with the yum updates.

Like i have understood, xen could be also present and support on RHEL6 and in this case, it could be supported until the cycle of RHEL 6. But is it preferable to migrate all your xen to kvm in a near furtur. Kvm is a REDHAT project and REDHAT want to put all ressources to improve and develop KVM instead of xen.

In some years? It is supported until support cycle is over. So, in RHEL 5.4 due date is: 31 Mar 2014 Anyway, the same gui tools works for xen and kvm also.. -- Eero, RHCE _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

routing multiple network cards on a single subnet
by Frank Cox 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

I have dealt with machines that have multiple network cards in them before, but never when they were on the same subnet so this issue has never come up before. My problem is that I can only access one IP address at a time. I started out using dhcp and found that if I went through the dhcp song-and-dance then that address became active and the other one was disabled, and vice versa. On our local tech mailing list, a couple of the guys advised me that this is due to a routing issue and, after a bit of googling around I now understand why that is. However, I have so far been unable to fix it. I got rid of dhcp and set up static addresses using system-config-network. This machine has three network cards in it, eth0 is 192.168.1.5 and I use that one to ssh into the box from this computer. (I really don't want to lose my ability to connect to eth0; this machine runs headless on a shelf about 7 feet above the floor and it would be quite an undertaking to dismantle it and bring it down to hook a monitor and keyboard to it again.) The solution to this problem appears to be easier to describe than to implement, at least for me. I need to have each network card reply back on the same interface that it received a request from. eth1 is 24.89.92.178 eth2 is 24.89.92.180 The gateway for both of these is 24.89.92.1 The suggestion that I got was to add two entries to the end of /etc/iproute2/rt_tables (which I did with a text editor) and run a series of ip route commands which set up a custom routing table but I'm missing something because while the custom routing tables appear to be getting set up, it's still not working. I have studied the suggested routing commands and I think I understand what they are doing and what is supposed to be happening. But something is still missing because it's not working. Here is what I did and what the results are. If I have missed anything let me know; this covers what I think is the relevant information as I currently understand it. I would sincerely appreciate any further advice regarding this situation. I really would like to know what I am doing wrong and also why (in the interest of learning something from this situation). It's new territory for me.

Which is not a bad thing at the moment. Once I have this nailed down should I put the "ip route" commands into /etc/rc.local? Or is there a better place? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

error rsyncing large file
by Joseph L. Casale 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

Trying to rsync a rather large file from a windows server to a centos server and all but this is working fine. As it's a 20 gig file I am trying to send the diff of with a -c, I suspect over the low bandwidth this presents an issue. I also stage this file locally on another centos server and could calc the diff and create a patch and send that, comparing checksums etc... A quick look at bsdiff and bspatch and the mem requirements on my 20 gig file make that solution rather not acceptable. Anyone know a better solution to accomplish this? Thanks! jlc

Hi, is there a way / software to find out which security patches my different CentOS systems are missing? Maybe with the according CESA announcement displayed? TIA, Frank.

I can confirm, after my last discussion with Redhat, is it better to learn KVM. Xen is going to die on redhat and centos in some years.

I agree. Since RH is moving to KVM, it is better to learn KVM if you have a choice.

centos courseware?
by Robert P. J. Day 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

does anyone here have pointers or access to courseware that could be used to teach centos (5.4, i believe)? publicly-available, free C/W would, of course, be ideal, but if you have some decent training manuals that you're willing to license on a per-manual basis, i'm still willing to chat. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

followup to request for centos C/W
by Robert P. J. Day 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

just to follow on my earlier post, i have pointers to a couple commercial C/W manuals for RHEL administration, but both of them use an entire chapter discussing virtualization using Xen. i'm under the impression that RH is firmly in the KVM camp (at least for now), and that learning Xen on red hat/centos wouldn't be as useful as learning KVM. thoughts? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
