Clustering and ha planning
by Leandro 11 Oct '15

11 Oct '15

Hello , Centos users: My name is Leandro, I have been using Centos for 4 years and this is the first post in this mail list. I would like to study and introduce myself in clustering and high availability for Centos, currently I have not experience at all about it. I would like to ask about the newest method to achieve high availability , load balancing on linux / Centos. So far I have seen the Clustering docs writen for Centos 5 and the HA documentation from www.linux-ha.org that have been published in 2010. So, I would like to ask to comunity, which are the new methods for clustering and get HA and where to get updated documentation. Regards, Leandro.

filesystem mounting fails at boot
by Imre Gergely 10 Oct '15

10 Oct '15

Hi I have an IBM blade with internal harddisks, in hardware RAID1. I've installed a CentOS 6 64bit on it, everything works just fine. After the installation, I've presented a vdisk to the blade from an external SAN (an HP EVA4000), connected through FiberChannel. I've partitioned the disk, formatted it and mounted it under /store, then added it to fstab. Everything was fine, until I rebooted. At boot I'm getting the following error for /store: Mounting local filesystems: mount: special device UUID=2a587e95-4a6c-4336-bb8b-f0d066905bc5 does not exist It just goes on to boot without mounting this filesystem. After it boots, I can log in and give the command "mount -a", and it gets mounted without problems. As far as I can tell, the reason for this is that CentOS doesn't wait for the external disk to get initialized fully and it just doesn't find it at boot time. I have other CentOS blades, installed and booting from the same SAN and they work without problems, but I noticed that they wait a little bit longer at boot. Am I missing some stuff from initrd? What can I do to make it wait for the block device a bit longer before it tries mounting it ? Thanks! -- Imre Gergely http://havaz.net gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 0x34525305

CentOS 7 CUPS: where queue defaults are stored?
by Valeri Galtsev 10 Oct '15

10 Oct '15

Dear Experts, CentOS 7 outsmarted me (again...). Could someone tell me where cups print queues' default settings are stored? In the past I was doing rather trivial thing: I was setting up prototype machine (making kickstart file based on it), then I was configuring all printers on prototype machine. After which (with cups daemon stopped) I was just packing /etc/cups (and maybe /usr/share/cups/model if extra ppd's were added). Then as a post-install I was just moving /etc/cups off the way, and unpacking /etc/cups, and all my printer configuration was there on newly built machine. Not anymore! After done what is described above I indeed have all printers, but queue defaults a weird: "double sided short edge" instead of "double sided long edge" as was configured on the prototype machine. What is more setting off is: recursive grep of /etc does not reveal files containing these settings (OK, OK, I know, I'm stupid, I don't know what pattern to grep for, but they are definitely not in /etc/cups AFAIK, or at leas not as ASCII...). Any insight into the system with - *cough* *cough* - binary configuration files? Incidentally, how do _you_ replicate CUPS configuration on CentOS 7 ? Thanks a lot for your help !

CentOS-6 SSHD chroot SELinux problem
by James B. Byrne 09 Oct '15

09 Oct '15

I run a sshd host solely to allow employees to tunnel secure connections to our internal hosts. Some of which do not support encrypted protocols. These connections are chroot'ed via the following in /etc/ssh/sshd_config Match Group !wheel,!xxxxxx,yyyyy AllowTcpForwarding yes ChrootDirectory /home/yyyyy X11Forwarding yes Where external users belong to group yyyyy (primary). We have a problem with SELinux in that chrooted users cannot tunnel https requests unless SELinux is set to permissive (or turned off altogether). This problem does not evidence itself unless the account is chrooted. The output from audit2allow is this: sudo audit2allow -l -a #============= chroot_user_t ============== allow chroot_user_t cyphesis_port_t:tcp_socket name_connect; allow chroot_user_t user_home_t:chr_file open; #============= syslogd_t ============== #!!!! The source type 'syslogd_t' can write to a 'dir' of the following types: # var_log_t, var_run_t, syslogd_tmp_t, syslogd_var_lib_t, syslogd_var_run_t, innd_log_t, device_t, tmp_t, logfile, cluster_var_lib_t, cluster_var_run_t, root_t, krb5_host_rcache_t, cluster_conf_t, tmp_t allow syslogd_t user_home_t:dir write; My questions are: Do SE booleans settings exist that permit chrooted ssh access to forward https and log the activity? If so then what are they? If not, then have I made a configuration error in sshd_config? What is it? If not, then is this a defect in the SELinux policy? If not, then What are the implications of creating a custom policy to handle this using the output given above? -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail James B.

recommended methods/software for videocasting
by ken 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

An acquaintance is considering videocasting speakers at a conference and using a Twitter product called Periscope. I'd like to recommend an open source solution. While I've never offered videos over the web, I have made audios available, and all it entailed was placing the file on the website and putting its url on a visible webpage. I wouldn't think any more than that is required for video. True? "Live" videocasting is likely a different animal. How is this accomplished? Also, which video formats are recommended-- FOSS of course preferred, but a FOSS format for which there are readily available client apps on the major platforms (MS, Android, OSX, Linux). Thanks for your expertise.

Software RAID1 Drives
by Matt 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

I have 3 4TB WD drives I want to put in a RAID1 array. Two WD4000FYYZ and One WD4000F9YZ All enterprise class but two are WD Re and one is WD Se. I ordered the first two thinking 2 drives in the raid array would be sufficient but later decided its a long drive to the server so I would rather have 3 drives and ordered a third in accidentally did not get EXACT same thing. Would there be ANY issues mixing these?

OT hardware issue: HP controller to 3rd party RAID
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 07 Oct '15

07 Oct '15

Hi, folks, Got an old HP box with a P800 Smart Array controller. The HP RAID box plugged into it's failing, and we got a new JetStor. Anyone know if we can just plug the JetStor in and set it to passthrough, or if we have to use the P800's firmware to set up the RAID, or other gotchas? I *think* we could use the RAID boxes firmware to build the RAID, but last resort would be passthrough, and Linux RAID. mark
