How to remove LVM Physical Volume from Volume Group?
by Ljubomir Ljubojevic 26 Jun '14

26 Jun '14

Hi. I have a volume group (let's say) vg_data. It consists from /dev/sdd5 sdd6 sdd7 I added sdc5 Now I want to remove (free) sdd7 and you is to for RAID partition. What are the commands (ordered) I need to perform? I failed to find clear howto. vg-data has only one partition, total size is over 1TB, free space is about 500GB so there is a plenty or room. -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe StarOS, Mikrotik and CentOS/RHEL/Linux consultant

grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template
by Matt Garman 25 Jun '14

25 Jun '14

I did a bulk "yum update -y" of several servers. As a sanity check after the upgrade, I ran a grep of /etc/grub.conf across all updated servers looking to ensure the kernel I expected was installed. Two servers came up saying /etc/grub.conf did not exist! I logged into the servers, and /etc/grub.conf was a broken link. (It points to /boot/grub/grub.conf). My systems are all setup with a dedicated /boot partition. Sure enough, /boot was not mounted. Furthermore, I saw no /boot entry in /etc/fstab (which all my other servers contain). So I mounted /boot, and the the grub.conf file was not consistent: it did not have a stanza for the kernel I wanted installed. So I did a "yum remove kernel ; yum install -y kernel". Both the remove and the install resulted in this message getting printed: grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template Just for kicks, I renamed both the /etc/grub.conf symlink as well as the actual /boot/grub/grub.conf file, and repeated the kernel remove/install. This did NOT produce the above error; however, no symlink or actual grub.conf file was created. I did a little web searching on the above error, and one common cause is that there is no valid "title..." stanza in the grub.conf file for grubby to use as a template. But my file does in fact contain a valid stanza. I even copied a valid grub.conf file from another server, and re-ran the kernel remove/install: same error. Clearly, something is broken, but I'm not sure what. Anyone seen anything like this? By the way, these machines were all 5.something, being upgraded to 5.7. Thanks!

Shared libs, bad programming, ... can all easily cause a small rpm to cause more disk space, memory and CPU usage than a larger one. If I have to do something remotely or just want a quick glance at something, I still use xpdf. Old interface but just like vi, once you got used to it, it's just quicker and easier than most modern alternatives. Peter.

firefox keeps downloading .iso files
by Michael Hennebry 23 Jun '14

23 Jun '14

Whenever I start firfox, it tries to download two .iso files into Desktop. Until recently, I wouldn't notice until it announced that it had run out of room. At that point I would click on the messages to make them go away. In the mean time, it had been chewing up bandwidth. One file, I had tried to download by mistake. Don't remmeber what I did with it on purpose. The other I downloaded into a partition with more room. I found this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/926609 I did not like the side-effects. For now, I've stopped the downloads by replacing the target files with empty unreadable files. Now I get an error message right away and it does not chew up my bandwidth. I'd lke a better solution. Any ideas?

mdraid Q on c6...
by John R Pierce 23 Jun '14

23 Jun '14

so, I installed a c6 system offsite today, had to do it in a hurry. box has 2 disks meant to be mirrored... I couldn't figure out how to get anaconda to build a LVM root on a mirror, so I ended up just installing a /boot and vg_system on sda and raid it later. every howto I find for linux says to half-raid the OTHER disk, COPY everything to it, then boot from it and wipe the first disk and then bond it as a mirror of the 2nd. Thats kind of ugly. in solaris, you can tell it that your existing partition is half of a mirror, update /etc/vfstab, then reboot, and then join a mirror to it. this seems much cleaner to me than copying everything. I tried to do this the solaris way, and at the first step, am told... # mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=mirror --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda2 missing mdadm: cannot open /dev/sda2: Device or resource busy /dev/sda2 contains the LVM root vg... so... I'm thinking I''ll boot a rescue system from usb, create the half mirror, then reboot to the incomplete raid and add mirror /dev/sdb2 will the VG be found on /dev/md0 instead of on /dev/sda2 ? if so, is there any other reason this won't work? -- john r pierce 37N 122W somewhere on the middle of the left coast

mail delivery question
by Chuck Campbell 23 Jun '14

23 Jun '14

I've built a new mail system with Centos 6.5, and I'm running fetchmail - sendmail - procmail to maildir. I have all of this working at the moment.(I know, postfix was the default, but for lots of other reasons, I switched, and that isn't an issue, I don't think). I am using dovecot as an imap server. Procmail won't update indexes during email delivery, so I'm having some performance delays and lags when accessing the emails via imap. I would like to use dovecot-lda for delivery, but I get permission denied errors, and I don't know why or where they are coming from. Here is the .procmailrc and procmail log file response when I try to use dovecot-lda from procmail: .procmailrc SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=$HOME/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/contrib/bin:. # one page suggested MAILDIR has no trailing slash, but DEFAULT should have one MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/ # You'd better make sure it exists ' DEFAULT=$MAILDIR LOGFILE="$HOME/procmail_log" LOCKFILE="$HOME/.lockmail" LOCKEXT=.lock :0 * . { LOG="$NL default recipe using copy to .ham_to_learn/ (maildir version) $NL" } :0 c .ham_to_learn/ :0 | /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -m $DEFAULT I get this in my log file: procmail: [27709] Fri Jun 20 14:00:17 2014 default recipe using copy to .ham_to_learn/ (maildir version) procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=.ham_to_learn/new/1403290809.27709_3.helium" procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -m /home/campbell/Maildir/" procmail: Notified comsat: "campbell@:/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -m /home/campbell/Maildir/" >From campbell(a)accelinc.com Fri Jun 20 14:00:06 2014 Subject: Re: Uruguay gravity model description Folder: /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -m /home/campbell/Maildir/ 10470 procmail: Unlocking "/home/campbell/.lockmail" procmail: Executing "/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver,-m,/home/campbell/Maildir/" /bin/sh: /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver: Permission denied ls -laFZ /usr/libexec/ <snip> drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0 dovecot/ <snip> ls -laFZ /usr/libexec/dovecot <snip> lrwxrwxrwx. root root system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0 deliver -> dovecot-lda* -rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:dovecot_deliver_exec_t:s0 dovecot-lda* <snip> It doesn't matter whether I reference the link file, or dovecot-lda directly, I get the same result.

CentOS 6.5 driver for a Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 chipset
by HM Johnson 22 Jun '14

22 Jun '14

Hello CentOS admins. I am an AIX admin bent on learning CentOS. Yesterday I downloaded CentOS-6.5-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso, burned a DVD and loaded it onto a Lenovo IdeaPad N585 laptop. All went well, except for getting the integrated wireless to work. Here is some info and what I tried so far. # lspci|egrep -i wireless 06:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) # uname -r 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 I found these instructions for building a driver for the BCM4313 chip set: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless/Broadcom?action=show I went to this site: http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php and downloaded this file: hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_141.tar.gz No problem with this: yum install kernel-headers kernel-devel gcc I extracted the file: mkdir -p /usr/local/src/hybrid-wl cd /usr/local/src/hybrid-wl pwd tar xvfz /root/Downloads/hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_141.tar.gz chown -R root.root /usr/local/src/hybrid-wl Now is where the issues begin, with the make (I know bug surprise): # make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/ M=`pwd` make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64/build/: No such file or directory.
