OOM condition with file-4.17-9.0.1.el5
by John 17 May '08

17 May '08

Hello all, We just encountered several serious Out of Memory Problems caused by the file 4.17-9.0.1.EL5 utility on our mail Gateway. CentOS 5.1 kept it self alive by killing it parent process Amavisd-new. Manually restarting Amavisd-new and flushing the mail queue caused same problem. Disabling file for the moment, caused Amavisd-new to fail, and also defer all mail. My quick and dirty solution was the download the Fedora Core 9's file.4.23-5.src.rpm. and rebuild it on CentOS 5 After upgrading file, restarting Amavisd-new and flushing the Postfix queue, all mail was delivered without problems. Because our mail system went down, it didn't have the time to trace the message causing the problem. But I want to share here that the Redhat / CentOS EL5 file utility has problems and provide a quick workaround for the problem. Regards, John The Netherlands

Centos Freezing
by Robert Spangler 17 May '08

17 May '08

Hello, For some reason at different times Centos will freeze and not allow me to do anything. This doesn't happen while I'm working on the system but after I have locked my session and then return. It could goes days without a lockup and then the next time I try to log in it'll be frozen. I would like to know if anyone else has seen this or knows of a fix or where I could start to look to find out if there is a process or something causing this. I normally have the same programs running so I don't think it could be caused by me starting and then leaving something new running. Thanks for your help. -- Regards Robert Smile... it increases your face value! Linux User #296285 http://counter.li.org

ext3 errors
by Les Mikesell 17 May '08

17 May '08

I recently set up a new system to run backuppc on centOS 5 with the archive stored on a raid1 of 750 gig SATA drives created with 3 members with one specified as "missing". Once a week I add the 3rd partition, let it sync, then remove it. I've had a similar system working for a long time using a firewire drive as the 3rd member, so I don't think the raid setup is the cause of the problem. I may have had problems with the drive power connectors initially but I think that is fixed now and I can't see any hardware errors being logged (the system/log files are on different drives). About once a week, I get an error like this, and the partition switches to read-only. --- Feb 24 04:48:20 linbackup1 kernel: EXT3-fs error (device md3): htree_dirblock_to_tree: bad entry in directory #869973: directory entry across bloc ks - offset=0, inode=3915132787, rec_len=42464, name_len=11 Feb 24 04:48:20 linbackup1 kernel: Aborting journal on device md3. Feb 24 04:48:20 linbackup1 kernel: ext3_abort called. Feb 24 04:48:20 linbackup1 kernel: EXT3-fs error (device md3): ext3_journal_start_sb: Detected aborted journal Feb 24 04:48:20 linbackup1 kernel: Remounting filesystem read-only Feb 24 04:48:33 linbackup1 kernel: EXT3-fs error (device md3): htree_dirblock_to_tree: bad entry in directory #4212181: rec_len % 4 != 0 - offse t=0, inode=4054525677, rec_len=1183, name_len=121 ---- 'fsck -y' seems to fix it up, but it keeps happening. Is this likely to be leftover cruft from the hardware issues or are there problems in ext3/raid1/sata drivers? The way backuppc stores data with millions of hardlinks in the archive it isn't really practical to copy it off, reformat, and start over. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

xen kernel showing only one processor on SMP machine

Hi there, I'm running an ibm xseries 345/dual Xeon 2.66GHz, 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5xen #1 SMP, and cat /proc/cpuinfo shows me only one processor. Apparently something strange happening with ACPI.

It comes with almost all features in exchange except the webmail. We are using it for the last 5 months, and look good so far. It can do load balance and clustering.

samba & samba-common installed then erased, but by whom?
by Johnny Tan 17 May '08

17 May '08

I saw this in Logwatch today for one of my servers: --------------------- yum Begin ------------------------ Packages Installed: samba-common.i386 3.0.23c-2.el5.2.0.2 samba.i386 3.0.23c-2.el5.2.0.2 Packages Erased: samba-common samba ---------------------- yum End ------------------------- No one, including myself, has even logged into this box in the past few days (verified by asking the only other two people who have access and also looking at the last & secure logs). And neither /var/log/yum.log or /var/log/rpmpkgs shows samba at all being installed/erased/present. I ran both chkrootkit and rkhunter, and both turned up clean. Since this box is behind a firewall with only a few IPs given access to it, I'm thinking that it's not been rooted, but I can't seem to find any other explanation for this. The only thing that runs on this server is httpd and jetty. Everything else is done manually including yum updates. And nothing that runs on this machine would ever need samba. Has anyone ever encountered something like this? johnn

has something happened to grep
by Jerry Geis 17 May '08

17 May '08

Hi all, when I do a "grep JERRY *.h" nothing is returned which is what I expect. This is in my source directory... when I do a "grep JERRY *" every file is returned an a line printed even though there is no JERRY on the line. Then if I do a "grep JERRY *.c" just the 4 lines that have JERRY are returned. This is what is prints for "grep JERRY *" src# grep JERRY * | more grep: JERRY: No such file or directory access_manager_help.htm:<FONT COLOR="#CCCCCC"> </FONT> so why is is skipping JERRY as the search item? The name JERRY is not the problem I can do this with any name and the same happens when searching all file "*". Thanks, Jerry
