Kickstart putting /boot on sda2 (anaconda partition enumeration)?
by Bryce Evans 04 Apr '19

04 Apr '19

Does anyone know how anaconda partitioning enumerates disk partitions when specified in kickstart? I quickly browsed through the anaconda installer source on github but didn't see the relevant bits. I'm using the centOS 6.10 anaconda installer. Somehow I am ending up with my swap partition on sda1, /boot on sda2, and root on sda3. for $REASONS I want /boot to be the partition #1 (sda1) My kickstart storage config looks like this: bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=sda,sdb zerombr ignoredisk --only-use=sda,sdb clearpart --all --drives=sda,sdb part raid.boot0 --size 1000 --ondrive=sda part raid.swap0 --size 8192 --ondrive=sda part raid.root0 --size 8000 --grow --ondrive=sda part raid.boot1 --size 1000 --ondrive=sdb part raid.swap1 --size 8192 --ondrive=sdb part raid.root1 --size 8000 --grow --ondrive=sdb raid /boot --fstype ext4 --device md0 --level=RAID1 raid.boot1 raid.boot0 raid swap --fstype swap --device md1 --level=RAID1 raid.swap1 raid.swap0 raid / --fstype ext4 --device md2 --level=RAID1 raid.root1 raid.root0 The anaconda-ks.cfg file that gets written out to /root (after kickstart finishes) looks like this: #zerombr # The following is the partition information you requested # Note that any partitions you deleted are not expressed # here so unless you clear all partitions first, this is # not guaranteed to work #clearpart --all --drives=sda,sdb #ignoredisk --only-use=sda,sdb #raid /boot --fstype=ext4 --level=1 --device=md0 raid.008018 raid.008002 #raid swap --level=1 --device=md1 raid.008017 raid.008001 #raid / --fstype=ext4 --level=1 --device=md2 raid.008019 raid.008003 #part raid.008001 --size=8192 #part raid.008002 --size=1000 #part raid.008003 --grow --size=8000 #part raid.008017 --size=8192 #part raid.008018 --size=1000 #part raid.008019 --grow --size=8000 I'm assuming that my swap is being put on sda1 because for some reason that partition gets the lowest numeric value in the name (raid.008001) But I don't see why that is happening, nor am I sure how to tell anaconda that I want /boot on the first partition (other than doing it in %pre) I cannot specify the 'onpart=sda1' option because I use 'clearpart' in the script, and according to the docs: "If the clearpart command is used, then the --onpart command cannot be used on a logical partition." The partition table on disk ends up looking as such: bash-4.1# parted /dev/sda GNU Parted 2.1 Using /dev/sda Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands. (parted) p Model: HP LOGICAL VOLUME (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 480GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 1049kB 8591MB 8590MB primary raid 2 8591MB 9640MB 1049MB primary ext4 boot, raid 3 9640MB 480GB 470GB primary raid Anyone know where I should be looking, or have a workaround besides doing my partitioning in %pre? Thanks

nobody:nobody
by Mark LaPierre 03 Apr '19

Hey Y'all, For the last week or more I've been trying to get NFS and OpenLDAP to play nice with each other. I've pretty much worn the Google machine out trying to find a solution. I've found several that said "Solved" but none of those solutions solved my nobody:nobody problem. In the past I've used NFS in conjunction with NIS to share home directories from my NFS server but I read that NIS is deprecated in favor of LDAP so, being a sucker for new ideas, I decided I would use LDAP too like the big boys do. I think I'm regretting this decision. Now the question: Is there something I need to configure on the client side of the relationship that all the Google wisdom has failed to mention? All the guides/tutorial/etc... talk extensively about configuring the server, many giving conflicting information, but have nothing to say about the client. I've even found a couple that talk about configuring CentOS 6 but contain commands found only in CentOS 7. Makes one go hmmm? Here's the basic details: Server: CentOS 6 openldap-2.4.40-16.el6.i686 openldap-clients-2.4.40-16.el6.x86_64 perl-LDAP-0.40-3.el6.noarch sssd-ldap-1.13.3-60.el6_10.2.x86_64 openldap-2.4.40-16.el6.x86_64 openldap-servers-2.4.40-16.el6.x86_64 python-ldap-2.3.10-1.el6.x86_64 apr-util-ldap-1.3.9-3.el6_0.1.x86_64 smbldap-tools-0.9.6-4.el6.noarch nfs-utils-lib-1.1.5-13.el6.x86_64 nfs4-acl-tools-0.3.3-8.el6.x86_64 nfs-utils-1.2.3-78.el6_10.1.x86_64 Client: CentOS 7 KVM VM running on the server sssd-ldap-1.16.2-13.el7_6.5.x86_64 python-ldap-2.4.15-2.el7.x86_64 openldap-2.4.44-21.el7_6.x86_64 nfs4-acl-tools-0.3.3-19.el7.x86_64 nfs-utils-1.3.0-0.61.el7.x86_64 libnfsidmap-0.25-19.el7.x86_64 Both machines are fully updated. Would you like to see any of the myriad of configuration files for these applications? Just ask and you shall receive.

git.centos.org migration, please read
by Fabian Arrotin 02 Apr '19

02 Apr '19

As pre-announced a long time ago (see https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2018-October/016997.html) , we'll migrate git.centos.org to a new host/platform (pagure/repospanner) The current migration is planned for : April 8th (more details later about the exact hour, as we need to have acknowledgement from all involved people). Instead of writing a long email, we instead decided to put focus on a dedicated page, that will , after migration, replace the current one. - current one : https://wiki.centos.org/Sources - new one : https://wiki.centos.org/Sources_new After migration, we'll rename/swap both pages, to reflect the changes that will go live next monday. As a reminder : we had https://git.stg.centos.org and https://src.stg.fedoraproject.org in "sync" since October, replicating to each other instance. We also got good feedback from CentOS contributors who started to use it to test the new features, including the automatic ACL for protected branches, and some pkgs from CentOS distro were even built through that staging instance , to validate that it was working the way it was designed. So please read that wiki page (https://wiki.centos.org/Sources_new) and we can also add/correct things in that page, based on future feedback. WRT existing repositories : they'll all be imported (already validated) but if you had access (RWC) to a specific project, you'll have *first* to login with your ACO account, and then ask to be added to the ACL, as well as changing the "git remote" url, to point to ssh (all pushes are going through ssh, as previous gitblit/git.centos.org allowed https pushes) PS: while the date is normally April 8th, if there is a chance that we'd need to change that date, we'll post an update in this thread PS2 : Fedora infra is in "freeze" mode , meaning that during our migration, we'll start with only the CentOS branches, and Fedora will import their repositories/branches in the existing repospanner cluster later, and so the Fedora/EPEL branches will then automatically appear on https://git.centos.org -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 56BEC54E | twitter: @arrfab

udev rename NIC failed
by wuzhouhui 01 Apr '19

01 Apr '19

Hi, Sometimes, I found one of my Mellanox NIC renamed to rename6, instead of eth1. The right names of NICs in my system should be: eth0 Mellanox NIC eth1 Mellanox NIC eth2 Intel NIC eth3 Intel NIC eth4 Intel NIC eth5 Intel NIC eth0 and eth1 will combined as bond1 with mode 4. However, the current names are: eth0 Mellanox NIC rename6 Mellanox NIC eth1 Intel NIC eth2 Intel NIC eth4 Intel NIC eth5 Intel NIC And bond1 still consist of eth0 and eth1, but eth1 is Intel NIC, instead of Mellanox NIC.

Getting slapd under CentOS 6 to log connections, etc.
by Robert Heller 31 Mar '19

31 Mar '19

I am running the stock OpenLDAP-servers on a CentOS 6 system. Everything is working just fine, but I am trying to debug connections from a Ubuntu (18.04) system and want to turn on logging in slapd, but although I can get slapd to create a log file, it never actually writes anything. I have these two lines in /etc/openldap/slapd.d/cn=config.ldif: olcLogFile: /var/log/slapd/log olcLogLevel: conns BER config ACL stats none And although /var/log/slapd/log gets created, nothing is ever written to it.

CUPS issues

We've got this huge HP DesignJet Z9 printer, for printing posters. Except... I got the latest hplips installed, it knows this printer... but there are no poster-sized settings. Now, I've started hacking the .ppd, as I did six year ago for the old poster printer, but it seems, after a good bit of googling, that it would be easier, when I hit print from okular, and get the dialog window, to go to properties->page, and set it to custom, and set the width and height... except I can't: both width and height are grayed out. Now, I'm running as me. For reasons I don't need to get into, I shouldn't be doing this as root. Anyone know what I need to modify to all me to set this? Hacking the .ppd is half a day or a day of tedious work. mark
