rsync backup to fileserver - mystery
by Frank Cox 02 May '15

02 May '15

I have an Intel SS4000E fileserver that I've been using for several years to backup my home directory to. I have a daily cron job that runs the following command: rsync -av --delete /home/frankcox/ /mnt/fileserver/backup I have a directory named misc/sheet-music/classical. About a week ago I created a new subdirectory there, /home/frankcox/misc/sheet-music-classical/Russian\ and\ Eastern\ European/ Notice the spaces in the subdirectory name; I don't know if that's relevant or not. I store a number of bzip-ed pdf files in that subdirectory, like this: BARTOKA.pdf.bz2, BARTOKB.pdf.bz2 and so on. Now for the mystery. The rsync command above gets me a report in my email from cron telling me what files were changed or deleted since the last backup run. And ever since I created that misc/sheet-music-classical/Russian\ and\ Eastern\ European subdirectory, it appears that the files in that subdirectory are getting copied to the fileserver again every day, since they are all listed in the email report that I receive. diff -r --brief /home/frankcox/misc/sheet-music-classical/Russian\ and\ Eastern\ European/ /mnt/fileserver/backup/misc/misc/sheet-music-classical/Russian\ and\ Eastern\ European/ That command gives me no output, so the contents of that subdirectory appear to match on both machines. So why is that subdirectory getting copied again every day when it hasn't changed? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

eno1 and eth0 on centos 7.1
by Jerry Geis 01 May '15

01 May '15

I installed 7.1 with the command line values biosdevname=0 net.ifnames=0 thinking this would result in ifcfg-eth0 being the file to use... The system still created an ifcfg-eno1 file and that was what is being used for network config information. I remove the ifcfg-eno1 and rebooted - got no network. I then copied back the ifcfg-eth0 to ifcfg-en01 and changed the device name in the file and rebooted and back to the correct network. How can I get just the old behaviour of ifcfg-eth0 ? Thanks, Jerry

Centos 7.1
by Jerry Geis 01 May '15

01 May '15

Still new to 7.1... I noticed today that when I did a cp command on the console and it asked me to overrite (as it should) the file name had a lower case a with a ^ above the a. Never ran across that before. What might I have not configured? Thanks, Jerry

Cron Issues
by Matt 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

I have noanacron installed on a fresh centos 7 install. I added this too settings. nano /etc/cron.d/0hourly */5 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.fiveminutes */1 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.minute 0,30 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.halfhour and then created the directories for it. Now I keep getting these errors in secure log. **** pam_systemd(crond:session): Failed to create session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. Can anyone tell me how to resolve it?

Hi, I was using CentOS 7 and when I ran some custom commercial security scan on my machine, I found about 122 vulnerabilities. Can you help me on how to get security upgrades on top of my existing CentOS? # cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core) Thanks for the help. -- Thanks & Regards, Venkateswara Rao Dokku.

nfs (or tcp or scheduler) changes between centos 5 and 6?
by Matt Garman 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

We have a "compute cluster" of about 100 machines that do a read-only NFS mount to a big NAS filer (a NetApp FAS6280). The jobs running on these boxes are analysis/simulation jobs that constantly read data off the NAS. We recently upgraded all these machines from CentOS 5.7 to CentOS 6.5. We did a "piecemeal" upgrade, usually upgrading five or so machines at a time, every few days. We noticed improved performance on the CentOS 6 boxes. But as the number of CentOS 6 boxes increased, we actually saw performance on the CentOS 5 boxes decrease. By the time we had only a few CentOS 5 boxes left, they were performing so badly as to be effectively worthless. What we observed in parallel to this upgrade process was that the read latency on our NetApp device skyrocketed. This in turn caused all compute jobs to actually run slower, as it seemed to move the bottleneck from the client servers' OS to the NetApp. This is somewhat counter-intuitive: CentOS 6 performs faster, but actually results in net performance loss because it creates a bottleneck on our centralized storage. All indications are that CentOS 6 seems to be much more "aggressive" in how it does NFS reads. And likewise, CentOS 5 was very "polite", to the point that it basically got starved out by the introduction of the 6.5 boxes. What I'm looking for is a "deep dive" list of changes to the NFS implementation between CentOS 5 and CentOS 6. Or maybe this is due to a change in the TCP stack? Or maybe the scheduler? We've tried a lot of sysctl tcp tunings, various nfs mount options, anything that's obviously different between 5 and 6... But so far we've been unable to find the "smoking gun" that causes the obvious behavior change between the two OS versions. Just hoping that maybe someone else out there has seen something like this, or can point me to some detailed documentation that might clue me in on what to look for next. Thanks!

Emacs issue in CentOS 7
by Greg Lindahl 29 Apr '15

29 Apr '15

Sometimes when I save a file in emacs, it thinks that the buffer is still dirty. If I use C-x C-w to write the file, I get an overwrite warning but the buffer always goes clean. Perhaps this is related to the file atime? My /home is btrfs with relatime. I always thought emacs was smarter than that, for example I run emacs on files mounted noatime on CentOS 6 without any issues. A bit of searching the interwebs did not provide any clues. Anyone? -- greg
