Thanks muchly, Dan. mark

daemon in /etc/init.d/functions creates no pifile?
by skotthof 03 Jun '15

03 Jun '15

Hi, we started using centos7 to run kvm+libvirt. For novnc to virtual machines I like to start websockify as a daemon by libvirt (as a hook) Under Debian I used the line: # start-stop-daemon --start --chuid $RUNUSER --make-pidfile --pidfile $PIDFILE --startas $PROGRAM -- $OPTIONS which creates a nice pidfile. In Centos I figured out, to include /etc/init.d/functions and I tried: # daemon --user $RUNUSER --pidfile=$PIDFILE $PROGRAM $OPTIONS But this seems not to create a pidfile at all. It checks only if a pidile exist already. This is executed at the end # $cgroup $nice runuser -s /bin/bash $user -c "$corelimit >/dev/null 2>&1 ; $*" Am I missed something?

Lirc 0.9.0
by Kirk Bocek 03 Jun '15

03 Jun '15

Does anyone have any experience getting LIRC 0.9.0 up and running on CentOS 6.6? I have the packages from EPEL installed: lirc.x86_64 0.9.0-8.el6 @epel lirc-doc.x86_64 0.9.0-8.el6 @epel lirc-libs.x86_64 0.9.0-8.el6 @epel lirc-remotes.x86_64 0.9.0-8.el6 @epel And my IR driver loads fine and creates /dev/lirc0: IR NEC protocol handler initialized IR RC5(x) protocol handler initialized IR RC6 protocol handler initialized Registered IR keymap rc-rc6-mce input: Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared Remote Transceiver (0471:0815) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.3/usb5/5-1/5-1:1.0/rc/rc0/input12 rc0: Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared Remote Transceiver (0471:0815) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.3/usb5/5-1/5-1:1.0/rc/rc0 mceusb 5-1:1.0: Registered Philips eHome Infrared Transceiver on usb5:2 usbcore: registered new interface driver mceusb IR JVC protocol handler initialized IR Sony protocol handler initialized lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 247 rc rc0: lirc_dev: driver ir-lirc-codec (mceusb) registered at minor = 0 IR LIRC bridge handler initialized I added LIRC_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0" to /etc/sysconfig/lirc. I have my configuration in /etc/lirc/lircd.conf that was working with LIRC 0.8.6. But when I run irw, I get no output. I do see in the log: Jun 1 06:04:04 marble lircd-0.9.0[1787]: lircd(default) ready, using /var/run/lirc/lircd Jun 1 06:06:08 marble lircd-0.9.0[1787]: accepted new client on /var/run/lirc/lircd Jun 1 06:06:10 marble lircd-0.9.0[1787]: failed on bit 1 Jun 1 06:06:10 marble lircd-0.9.0[1787]: failed on bit 1 And a whole bunch of failed on bit messages. Does anyone have any ideas?

Supervisord - is it really needed?
by Rafał Radecki 02 Jun '15

02 Jun '15

Hi All :) In Centos 7 we have systemd. Is in this case supervisord needed? What are your experiences? systemd can clearly be used to respawn processes in case they will die. BR, Rafal.

Try II: selinux, xfs, and CentOS 6 and 5 issue
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 02 Jun '15

02 Jun '15

Tried just the selinux list yesterday, no answers, so I'm trying again. I partitioned GPT, and formatted, as xfs, a large (3TB) drive on a CentOS 6 system, which has selinux in permissive mode. I then moved the drive to a CentOS 5 system. When we run a copy (it mirror-copies from another system), we get a ton of errors. I discovered that the CentOS 5 system was enforcing. I changed it to permissive, I labelled the directories and files w/ semanage, did a restorecon, and even did a fixfiles, and *then* I tried /.autorelabel and rebooted, and we still get a ton of errors: Jun 1 17:01:32 <server> kernel: inode_doinit_with_dentry: context_to_sid(unconfined_u:object_r:file_t:s0) returned 22 for dev=sdd1 ino=2151541032 I had to reboot to disabled to get it to shut up. So: is there something that selinux does in CentOS 6 that is in the labelling on the xfs filesystem that I can do something about on the CentOS 5 system, or do I just have to leave selinux disabled (until, maybe in the next year, we can rebuild to 7....)? mark

Native ZFS on Linux
by Chuck Munro 02 Jun '15

02 Jun '15

I have a question that has been puzzling me for some time ... what is the reason RedHat chose to go with btrfs rather than working with the ZFS-on-Linux folks (now OpenZFS)? Is it a licensing issue, political, etc? Although btrfs is making progress, ZFS is far more mature, has a few more stable features (especially Raid-z3) and has worked flawlessly for me on CentOS-6 and Scientific Linux-6. I used ZFS for a couple of large file servers with no problems. The only annoying part was having to manually install the kernel module each time a kernel update was issued. Because FreeBSD has built-in drivers for LSI cards (I use JBOD mode) and strong ZFS support, I've switched to FreeNAS with it's default native ZFS and driver support for LSI. I would have preferred to stick with CentOS, but FreeNAS just made things easier to manage. It also seems about twice as fast as ZFS on Linux (same hardware), but that may simply be a tuning issue. Is there any chance that a native ZFS (rather than btrfs) will ever emerge in RHEL/CentOS? Just curious, because I'd love to return to CentOS/SL next time I build large file servers. As an aside, I have used only WD Black and WD RedPro drives for RAID, and not had any issues. Green drives are scary :-) Chuck

Project Management Software
by H 01 Jun '15

01 Jun '15

I have a need to use a project management software package under Centos 6.6 and have started looking at ProjectLibre which is a Java package. Unfortunately it seems to have shortcomings when it comes to following up projects and my current understanding is that it falls short of Microsoft Project 2010, i.e., a previous version. Does anyone have experience with this type of software and what would you recommend? Thank you in advance.

Redistributing CentOS as part of a package
by Digimer 01 Jun '15

01 Jun '15

Hi all, I'm developing a program that is not a distro, per-se, but sort of acts like one. Basically, it's a modified CentOS ISO with some extra RPMs added, unneeded RPMs removed and containing a modified boot screen and install selection list. The list says "CentOS", so a user knows the installed appliance will be based on CentOS, but it also has our project's branding along with it (splash screen, our custom installer's images and text, etc). We do not modify /etc/issue, /etc/redhat-release or so one. So I wanted to ask the community if this is OK, as I think I'm sitting in something of a gray area between a straight custom CentOS ISO and a new distro. If this isn't the right place to ask, a pointer to the right place would be much appreciated. I am happy to answer any further questions (here or in private) from the CentOS team if it would help clarify things. Cheers! -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.ca/w/ What if the cure for cancer is trapped in the mind of a person without access to education?

nginx conflicting server name ignored warning
by Tim Dunphy 01 Jun '15

01 Jun '15

Guys, I'm getting a strange warning whenever I do a config test or a restart of nginx 1.0.15 [root@aoadbld00032lb nginx]# nginx -t nginx: [warn] conflicting server name "aoadbld00032lb.company.com" on 0.0.0.0:80, ignored nginx: [warn] conflicting server name "logs.pcf.company.com" on 0.0.0.0:80, ignored nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful And as far as I can tell I only have one server_name directive in the whole config: [root@aoadbld00032lb nginx]# grep -r server_name * conf.d/kibana.conf: server_name aoadbld00032lb.company.com logs.pcf.company.com; fastcgi_params:fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name; scgi_params:scgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name; uwsgi_params:uwsgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name; It's more of an annoyance than any kind of real problem, as far as I can tell. Because the site I'm trying to put up with it appears to be working. I'm using this host as a logstash server. But does anybody have any ideas as to why this may be happening? Or of any potential problems that this may cause? Thanks, Tim -- GPG me!! gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys F186197B
