[OT] PXE Boot / image server for non-profit's computers
by Jason Pyeron 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

This is the best collection of minds I can think of on this topic, that's why it is on this list. I think it is too subjective for stackoverflow. So here is the problem: The community center has multiple computers for the children (and adult students) to use. These computer are always donated and the hardware is all different. Currently the systems are running Windows (but this may change). Most days the systems are "hacked" by the kids and all is well, but sometimes the changes to the systems requires a reinstall. The staff are not presently qualified to diagnose any problems. Here is the draft idea: 1. Have a CentOS image / PXE server. 2. Make a (bootable) utility CD that: * has a program to "save" the state of the computer to the image server * on boot gives an option to re-image the computer * has a (boot-time or OS) diagnostic program to check network connectivity to the image server 3. Make a single page instruction sheet on using the utility disc, including on how to boot from CD Implementation suggestions? -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - - - Jason Pyeron PD Inc. http://www.pdinc.us - - Principal Consultant 10 West 24th Street #100 - - +1 (443) 269-1555 x333 Baltimore, Maryland 21218 - - - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message is copyright PD Inc, subject to license 20080407P00.

OpenSSL Heartbeat exploit agains KVM guest systems
by James B. Byrne 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

Is it possible to use this exploit against a kvm guest to read memory used by the host? In other words: if an exploitable service, say httpd with mod_ssl, is running in guest system 'vm1' hosted on system 'virthost' then what implications does that have with respect to guests vm2 and vm3 and to virthost itself? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

USB 3.0 NIC / Sitecom NL-031
by Michael Kress 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

Hi, I have a Sitecom NL-031 USB 3.0 NIC which I'd like to use under centos 6.5, but unfortunately I see no support. Or, I am doing something wrong. According to LKDDb (Linux Kernel Driver DataBase), the correct driver is "CONFIG_USB_NET_AX8817X: ASIX AX88xxx Based USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapters" but obviously, I've grabbed a non matching "iProduct", because mine is obviously 0x0072 (see lsusb below) and the driver lists 0x0056. From the LKDDb: vendor: 0df6 ("Sitecom Europe B.V."), product: 0056 ("LN-031 10/100/1000 Ethernet Adapter") vendor: 0df6 ("Sitecom Europe B.V."), product: 0056 ("LN-031 10/100/1000 Ethernet Adapter") When i modprobe for the NIC, I get something very unspectacular ... root@mybox:/root [0] >modprobe asix /var/log/messages: Apr 5 20:02:23 mybox kernel: usbcore: registered new interface driver asix dmesg: usbcore: registered new interface driver asix BTW, I got this passed on by ESXi to a CentOS VM. Do you see any chance to get this running? Thanks in advance Michael PS: the lsusb output ... root@mybox:/root [0] > lsusb -v -d 0df6:0072 Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0df6:0072 Sitecom Europe B.V.

Software RAID10 - which two disks can fail?
by Rafał Radecki 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

Hi All. I have a server which uses RAID10 made of 4 partitions for / and boots from it. It looks like so: mdadm -D /dev/md1 /dev/md1: Version : 00.90 Creation Time : Mon Apr 27 09:25:05 2009 Raid Level : raid10 Array Size : 973827968 (928.71 GiB 997.20 GB) Used Dev Size : 486913984 (464.36 GiB 498.60 GB) Raid Devices : 4 Total Devices : 4 Preferred Minor : 1 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Update Time : Mon Apr 7 21:26:29 2014 State : clean Active Devices : 4 Working Devices : 4 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Layout : near=2, far=1 Chunk Size : 64K UUID : 1403e5aa:3152b3f8:086582aa:c95c4fc7 Events : 0.38695092 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 8 6 0 active sync /dev/sda6 1 8 22 1 active sync /dev/sdb6 2 8 54 2 active sync /dev/sdd6 3 8 38 3 active sync /dev/sdc6 As far as I know raid10 is ~ "a raid0 built on top of two raid1" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_RAID_levels#RAID_1.2B0 - raid10). So I think that by default in my case: /dev/sda6 and /dev/sdb6 form the first "raid1" /dev/sdd6 and /dev/sdc6 form the second "raid1" So is it so that if I fail/remove for example: - /dev/sdb6 and /dev/sdc6 (different "raid1's") - the raid10 will be usable/data will be ok? - /dev/sda6 and /dev/sdb6 (the same "raid1") - the raid10 will be not usable/data will be lost? I read in context of raid10 about replicas of data (2 by default) and the data layout (near/far/offset). I see in the output of mdadm -D the line "Layout : near=2, far=1" and am not sure which layout is exactly used and how it influences data layout/distribution in my case :| I would really appreciate a definite answer which partitions I can remove and which I cannot remove at the same time because I need to perform some disk maintenance tasks on this raid10 array. Thanks for all help! BR, Rafal.

Ok....so after installing "smartmontools" on my CentOS machine...and connectiing this drive externally...i got positive reports from both the short and long tests...so the drive can obviously be "seen"....but when I look for it in the /dev/ directory...it doesn't show up.....I'm about to give the fdisk command line tools anonther shot....it allows me to format the drive...and to give it a file system...(ext4)....but it doesn't automaticcaly mount, nor can I format the drive using the Disk Utility in CEntOS.....I'm going to give D.B.A.N one more try since I was able to format it from the smartctl command line....hopefully it will "clear" whaever is locked up. if not...then I'll move onto the other recommendations and advice given by you "experts"! LoL! Thanks for all your help.....will kepp you posted. EGO II

I'm posting from my phone, so I have no choice but to top post. I have run across an issue like this. I have noticed the drives make a clicking noise if they are in an enclosure. I have then taken them out and they were perfectly fine. I found that the controller card in the enclosure was bad and not the hard drive. So take the drives out and they might be absolutely fine. -----Original Message----- From: "Eddie O'Connor" <eoconnor25(a)gmail.com> Sent: ‎4/‎5/‎2014 1:41 PM To: "CentOS mailing list" <centos(a)centos.org> Subject: [CentOS] HDD Problem....

The lights come on...it looks like its about to do something...and then the loud click and nothing happens. Can anyone volunteer some advice as to where I would look for troubleshooting this issue? I really am not interested in what's on it. I just want to re-format it and (possibly) use it for storage. I have tried using various toosl to try and wipe this drive but nothing seems to work...(SystemRescue CD....D.B.A.N.......PartImage....Hiram's BootCD....) Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks In Advance EGO II
