CentOS Enterprise IPA (Identity, Policy, and Audit) Server
by Johnny Hughes 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

I have just completed building the RPMS for the CentOS Enterprise IPA (Identity, Policy, and Audit) Server. This is based on the sources from the Red Hat Enterprise IPA server. Documentation can be downloaded here: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/pdf/eipa/1.0/ The RPMS are located in the testing repository. http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/SRPMS/CEIPA/ http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/i386/RPMS/CEIPA/ http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/x86_64/RPMS/CEIPA/ For anyone who wants to test EIPA, please install and provide feedback on this thread: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3880 Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Capturing video
by centos＠911networks.com 17 Nov '09

Hi, I'm trying to watch: http://www.video.bhphotovideo.com/?fr_story=a405075c1837a65dbee4f4d48db9a26… It's within flash and the problem is that even in slow mode I get 20 seconds, then a few minutes later another 10 to 20 secs... I have CentOS 5.3, Firefox 3.0.15 with the flash enabled. Is there a way of capturing the whole video, and then playing it locally? -- Thanks

You want it somewhere that is in that. And I vaguely think that you might need to "register" it using pear. mark

Um, yes. Is "advanced graphing class" a package, like mediawiki, or is it a php module? A php class is something that's part of the language and code, so asking how to set it up doesn't make sense here, that's programming. mark

Adaptec SCSI Card 2930LP supported by CentOS 5.x?
by Frank Thommen 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

Hi, for a specific application we need a low-profile SCSI card (PCI) with external 50pin connector. I thought about getting an "Adaptec SCSI Card 2930LP". However I was not able to find any usable information about wether this card is supported by Linux/CentOS 5.x or not. Does anyone have this card working with a CentOS 5.x machine? Alternatively: Are there any linux-supported low-profile PCI SCSI cards with 50pin connector which are supported by CentOS 5.x and which you can recommend?

RAIDs and JBOD?
by James Bensley 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

Hey Guys, I have some questions regarding a new home server I am going to build in the hopefully very near future (ASAP, I just need to finish planning everything and this is the penultimate hurdle), I will be creating a software RAID... Lets say I have three drives "knocking" around which are all 1TB SATA II drives but each made by a different manufacturer. I am going to guess that these couldn't be used in a RAID 5? Or could they? However could a similar result of 2TBs of data with redundancy be achieved with JBOD? Also regarding RAID 5, three drives of data to one for parity is the max ratio I believe? I.e. to expand this by adding another data drive, the original parity drive would no longer cover this and another would be required, is this correct? One more question about hot swappable drives, I understand that you can create RAID arrays with and without hot swappable drives but I am confused by this concept. I'm my experience with RAIDs I have only every delt with a RAID 1 that has degraded. I simply set the drive as offline, replaced it, set it to online and the RAID rebuilt itself all without restart the server and operation was never interrupted. So we can presume the server had hot swappable drives enabled yes? (It was a hardware RAID). With a software RAID is this still achievable? Thank you for reading.

errors on multimedia guidance for x86_64
by David McGuffey 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

I have a fresh install of 5.4 x86_64 from a dvd .iso. All has worked well for several days, including kvm and WinXP running in a vm. Decided it was time to get the multimedia stuff up and running so I could listen to music CDs and watch DVD movies while working. I followed the guidance on the "Tips and Tricks" page for multimedia. Had no problem with the "priorities" or the rpmforge installs. Here is where it went south: [root@desk Desktop]# yum install libdvdcss libdvdread libdvdplay libdvdnav lsdvd mplayerplug-in mplayer mplayer-gui compat-libstdc++-33 flash-plugin gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-ffmpeg libquicktime Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * addons: yum.singlehop.com * base: mirror.fdcservers.net * extras: mirrors.liquidweb.com * rpmforge: fr2.rpmfind.net * updates: centos.mirror.nac.net 440 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Setting up Install Process ... --> Finished Dependency Resolution gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.8-3.el5.rf.x86_64 from rpmforge has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: libfaad.so.0()(64bit) is needed by package gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.8-3.el5.rf.x86_64 (rpmforge) libquicktime-1.1.3-1.el5.rf.x86_64 from rpmforge has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: libfaad.so.0()(64bit) is needed by package libquicktime-1.1.3-1.el5.rf.x86_64 (rpmforge) Error: Missing Dependency: libfaad.so.0()(64bit) is needed by package libquicktime-1.1.3-1.el5.rf.x86_64 (rpmforge) Error: Missing Dependency: libfaad.so.0()(64bit) is needed by package gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.8-3.el5.rf.x86_64 (rpmforge) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: package-cleanup --problems package-cleanup --dupes rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package. [root@desk Desktop]# First question: Is the guidance for multimedia accurate for an 5.4 x86_64 load? Second question: is rpmforge fully ready for 5.4? Dave

2 TB limit on USB drive
by Gareth Tupper 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

Hallo I submitted this as a bug several weeks ago, but I wanted to ask around & see if anyone else has come across this.... I have a USB Buffalo Drivestation Quattro, with 4 1TB disks configured in raid5 as one 2.8TB (or so) disk, attached to a Cent 5.4 64 bit server (completely yum'd up to date) The disk is labeled as GPT, and formatted as a 2.8 TB ext3 partition (this issue also happens with xfs). I used a gparted boot disk to create the partition. When I attach the drive I see this in messages: Nov 2 14:26:55 kernel: usb 1-5.2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7 Nov 2 14:26:56 kernel: usb 1-5.2: configuration 0000001 <http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1> chosen from 1 choice Nov 2 14:26:56 kernel: scsi5 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Nov 2 14:26:56 kernel: usb-storage: device found at 7 Nov 2 14:26:56 kernel: usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning Nov 2 14:27:01 kernel: Vendor: BUFFALO Model: HD-QSSU2/R5 1 Rev: 2.02 Nov 2 14:27:01 kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 Nov 2 14:27:01 kernel: sdc : very big device. try to use READ CAPACITY(16). Nov 2 14:27:01 kernel: sdc : READ CAPACITY(16) failed. Nov 2 14:27:01 kernel: sdc : status=0, message=00, host=5, driver=00 Nov 2 14:27:01 kernel: sdc : use 0xffffffff as device size Nov 2 14:27:01 kernel: SCSI device sdc: 4294967296 512-byte hdwr sectors (2199023 MB) Nov 2 14:27:01 kernel: sdc: Write Protect is off After this failure, the disk is either a) inaccessible, or b) reports only a 2 TB partition. The latest Ubuntu can read the disk, presenting the full 2.8 TB just peachy. This server is up to date: uname -a: Linux myserver.mydomain.com 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Nov 3 16:18:27 EST 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux cat /etc/redhat-release: CentOS release 5.4 (Final) [root@myserver ~]# cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name ... 8 32 2147483648 sdc << the disk showing incorrectly with only 2TB of storage This bug seems very similar to a previous bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=502944 which was reported fixed in 5.4 Anyone seen this before, or have any ideas how I can get CentOS to see the disk? Cheers, Gareth
