mount.cifs install problem
by Nikos Gatsis - Qbit 06 Nov '13

06 Nov '13

Hello list After samba4 installation cant install cifs-utils. Is there an other way of mount an externall network drive without using mount.cifs? I try mount -t cifs //192.168.10.230/OpenShare/srvbackup /mnt/backup/ But I get "is not a valid block device" error I have centos-release-6-4.el6.centos.10.x86_64 This ext drive is also linked to a fedora server without problem. Thank you in advance. Nikos

iptables
by Wes James 06 Nov '13

06 Nov '13

I ran: iptables -L and see this: Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited Does the REJECT all over-ride the ACCEPT all Would "DROP all" be better so people banging on the ports don't see a reply? I ran the gui tool to open ssh and it is in between ACCEPT all and REJECT all. Why does it work if there is a REJECT all after it? Thanks, -wes

/etc/inittab
by Wes James 05 Nov '13

05 Nov '13

I noticed in /etc/inittab that it has this line: # 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this) It makes sense, but what if it did get set to 0 or 6? Is there a way to boot to single-user mode anyway to edit the file and change it to a correct value? What if it is set to a negative number or a value > 6? Does it default to a valid value.

building software raid.
by Johan Vermeulen 05 Nov '13

05 Nov '13

dear All, I'm spending the afternoon trying to build software raid using this ( excellent ) guide : http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Install_On_Partitionable_RAID1 I'm doing this not only because this machine has no raid controller - I could go out and buy one - but also because I hope software raid will provide easier monitoring. This is a newly installed, updated Centos6.4 standard machine. So far I arrived at part1 step 4: -----> mdadm --add /dev/md_d0 /dev/sdb and this is on 16.6 % Looking at part 2 , step 2 : ------------> Edit /etc/fstab, you must change all mounts from using LABEL= to explicit device names, like /dev/md_d0p1, /dev/md_d0p2, ... I'm wondering where I can find the names md_d0p1, p2 and so on. Can anyone help me on this? Thanks very much.

[OT] Building a new backup server
by Sorin Srbu 05 Nov '13

05 Nov '13

Guys, I was thrown a cheap OEM-server with a 120 GB SSD and 10 x 4 TB SATA-disks for the data-backup to build a backup server. It's built around an Asus Z87-A that seems to have problems with anything Linux unfortunately. Anyway, BackupPC is my preferred backup-solution, so I went ahead to install another favourite, CentOS 6.4 - and failed. The raid controller is a Highpoint RocketRAID 2740 and its driver is suggested to be prior to starting Anaconda by way of "ctrl-alt-f2", at which point Anaconda freezes. I've come so far as installing Fedora 19 and having it see all the hard-drives, but it refuses to create any partition bigger than approx. 16 TB with ext4. I've never had to deal with this big raid-arrays before and am a bit stumped. Any hints as to where to start reading up, as well as hints on how to proceed (another motherboard, ditto raidcontroller?), would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- BW, Sorin ----------------------------------------------------------- # Sorin Srbu, Sysadmin # Uppsala University # Dept of Medicinal Chemistry # Div of Org Pharm Chem # Box 574 # SE-75123 Uppsala # Sweden# # Phone: +46 (0)18-4714482 # Visit: BMC, Husargatan 3, D5:512b # Web: http://www.orgfarm.uu.se ----------------------------------------------------------- # () ASCII ribbon campaign - Against html E-mail # /\ # # This message was not sent from an iProduct! # # MotD follows: # Legacy MS Tag: PATH=C:\DOS;C:\DOS\RUN;C:\WIN\CRASH\DOS;C:\ME\DEL\WIN

Re: [CentOS] How should I reinstall CentOS?

I had an issue recently where a package (openoffice) would not work correctly and: yum reinstall openoffice\* #did not help rpm -Va #did not find ANY issues (which surprised me when I did figure out what was wrong) however doing a (I did a more restricted, to openoffice files, version of) find /usr/ -not -perm -o+r -exec ls -lhd {} + find /usr/ -type d -not -perm -g+x -exec ls -lhd {} + find /usr/ -type d -not -perm -o+x -exec ls -lhd {} + found files that were not even set to write for ROOT (and in general had NO permission for anyone else)! The idea is basically that almost all files in /usr/ should be READABLE by any user and almost all directories should be READABLE & EXECUTABLE by all so that they can list and read the files in them. I don't know if the commands at http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/reset-rhel-centos-fedora-package-file-perm ission.html would have fixed the issue, because I brute forced the perms to root writeable and then reinstalled the packages again. BTW, I still feel a little confused on what the OP's original problem was and why they are headed in the direction of a 'reinstall the system'. Seems a bit overkill for most problems. Even when this disclaimer is not here: I am not a contracting officer. I do not have authority to make or modify the terms of any contract.

ZFS on Linux in production?
by Lists 04 Nov '13

04 Nov '13

We are a CentOS shop, and have the lucky, fortunate problem of having ever-increasing amounts of data to manage. EXT3/4 becomes tough to manage when you start climbing, especially when you have to upgrade, so we're contemplating switching to ZFS. As of last spring, it appears that ZFS On Linux http://zfsonlinux.org/ calls itself production ready despite a version number of 0.6.2, and being acknowledged as unstable on 32 bit systems. However, given the need to do backups, zfs send sounds like a godsend over rsync which is running into scaling problems of its own. (EG: Nightly backups are being threatened by the possibility of taking over 24 hours per backup) Was wondering if anybody here could weigh in with real-life experience? Performance/scalability? -Ben PS: I joined their mailing list recently, will be watching there as well. We will, of course, be testing for a while before "making the switch".

What the heck is a "text/html decoder"

Firefox ESR and Coldfusion
by James B. Byrne 04 Nov '13

CentOS-6.4 x86_64 Firefox-17.0.10ESR I am getting a missing plugin report from Firefox when trying to load this url: http://yyyy.xxx.net//sco_launchv5.1.cfm?regKey=22349&CFID=0&CFTOKEN=1ED09F3… A Firefox search for plugins reports none found. I believe that this URL refers to a Coldfusion script. Given the context I am working in I believe that this script is an interactive training audio-visual. What client or plugin do I need for Firefox to run this script? Where do I get it? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
