Persisting module loading
by Diogo Sperb Schneider 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Greetings! I have loaded a few modules: modprobe ip_nat_ftp modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp And now I'd like to persist those so they're loaded when the system boots up. I'm doing this by means of calling a specific script from /etc/rc.d/rc.local but I believe there must be something cleaner than that, like another existing file. I tried the /etc/rc.modules thing as shown in http://centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-kernel-modules-pers… but /etc/rc.modules was not being called automatically until I called it from /etc/rc.d/rc.local Thanks in advance, Diogo

Repair Filesystem prompt , after inode has illegal blocks
by McCulloch, Alan 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

hi All, A fault on our SAN dropped us down to a read-only filesystem and after reboot, we have an "Unexpected Inconsistency" and I am being instructed by the boot to run fsck manually without -a or -p (this was after I think processing around 15% of the filesystem) The specific message is "inode 27344909 has illegal blocks" I recall running fsck some years ago on smaller and simpler systems - am broadly familiar with what it is but have no expertise in using it to repair a filesystem. Would be grateful for advice on whats the quickest / usual way to get us back up from this. We do have a good backup for restoring unrecoverable files - i.e. I assume I am going to end up asking fsck to repair the filesystem itself and then clean up any mess that results. This is fsck 1.39 , Linux version 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5 , Red Hat 4.1.2-42 thanks for any tips.

Problems setting terminal size in termcap/xterm
by Marcelo M. Garcia 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Hi I'm trying to set the terminal size in /usr/share/vte/termcap/xterm, but it seems that CentOS doesn't look at this file. I know this works in REHL 4.7 and Fedora 10, 11. Does anyone know a work around to this? Thanks Marcelo

abnormal freezes
by attila.mathe＠orange-ftgroup.com 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Hi, I'm having a linux box running with Centos 5.3 x86 (kernel 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5xen) which is freezing time to time and can't login neither trough console. The only thing what I can do, to pass the situation is to power off/on the pc. The pc is used only as a torrent server running with transmission 1.74. There are days when 400GB data traffic goes through the pc, and there are days when after 50Mb freezes. What I checked: - Network card doesn't show any error (netstat -in) - /var/log/messages (nothing serious is mentioned) - Router logs (nothing) - temperature (sensors show normal parameters, which are true measured manually also) Do you have any idea how to troubleshoot the situation, what I'm missing ? I'm thinking that there may be some hardware issues, but the thing was running fine for 1 month, and didn't do much beside yum update on it.

qla2xxx 0000:05:0d.0: Mailbox command timeout occured. Scheduling ISP abort.
by McCulloch, Alan 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

hi All, Re below - thanks for the replies to the fsck question. I have run fsck -r /data and this eventually completed with several changes made. Now I am getting the following error from the qla2xxx driver on boot . . . qla2xxx 0000:05:0d.0: Mailbox command timeout occured. Scheduling ISP abort. qla2xxx 0000:05:0d.0: Mailbox command timeout occured. Scheduling ISP abort. . etc . It looks like some administration of the HSV controlled SAN device layer itself is required - we are now not even getting the boot process as far as the filesystem layer. (Anybody know exactly what that message indicates - e.g. whether a hardware fault or HSV SAN config issue ?) googling this , somebody suggested a media scan from my storage array firmware, then backing up the array and reinitializing logical disks and started fresh....however if anybody has some more specific info than that, that would be great. (I don't have administrative access to these devices in any case) Looks like may have fsck'd on top of a wobbly device layer which probably does not bode well :-( (I will summarise all of this to the list at some stage ) Cheers AMcC (Original post : ) >A fault on our SAN dropped us down to a read-only filesystem and after reboot, >we have an "Unexpected Inconsistency" and I am being instructed by the boot to run fsck manually >without -a or -p (this was after I think processing around 15% of the filesystem) >The specific message is "inode 27344909 has illegal blocks" >I recall running fsck some years ago on smaller and simpler systems - am broadly >familiar with what it is but have no expertise in using it to repair a filesystem. >Would be grateful for advice on whats the quickest / usual way to get us back up from >this.

trouble playing quicktimes at apple.com/trailers
by fred smith 13 Sep '09

13 Sep '09

I've been able to view the movie trailers at apple.com/trailers for years on my old Centos box (5.3). so in July I built a new box and also used Centos 5.3. I recall being able to view them on the new box too, back in July. now, none of them work on either the old or new box. Firefox by default uses mplayer for this purpose. mplayer starts up, says it's playing it displays the url on the screen for about a half second then stops. over and over again. I should have all the right plugins since it's worked before. Is anyone else having trouble with that? or to ask another way, can any of you still watch them? Thanks! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ------------------------------- Romans 5:8 (niv) ------------------------------

CentOS 5.3 - Activating laptop wireless card
by Andrew Allen 13 Sep '09

13 Sep '09

I've just installed CentOS 5.3 on my Dell laptop and it seems to have detected and set-up my wireless card (BCM 4311) correctly as eth1. However, so far I haven't been able to activate it and have read the wiki http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless#head-320d6fcf09b7e16e0b15d19… which indicates that this card isn't actually supported in CentOS - but there has been an improvement over earlier kernels because the card wasn't even detected in CentOS 5.0. So do I need to get the Windows driver from http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php and do I need ndiswrapper as well? Andy

Quo vadis?
by A. Kirillov 13 Sep '09

13 Sep '09

Hi, In the course of my experiments with rt kernels it so happens that the gui versions of tuna built from upstream (RHEL, F11) SRPMs show wrong affinity settings for IRQ threads. Where would be a proper place to report this and get some help on other rt-related issues? Thanks, Sasha
