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.

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"
by Frank Cox 04 Nov '13

My phone service provider offers a way to check my voicemail via a webpage. However, when I go to that webpage with Firefox and try to play back a saved message, a window pops up that says this: "The following plugin is required: text/html decoder" What is it looking for and how can I install it? I already have these totem rpms: totem-nautilus-2.28.6-2.el6.x86_64 totem-pl-parser-2.28.3-1.el6.x86_64 totem-mozplugin-2.28.6-2.el6.x86_64 totem-2.28.6-2.el6.x86_64 and the following gstreamer rpms: gstreamer-ffmpeg-0.10.11-2.el6.x86_64 gstreamer-0.10.29-1.el6.x86_64 gstreamer-devel-0.10.29-1.el6.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.23-1.el6.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-0.10.19-2.el6.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-extras-0.10.19-2.el6.x86_64 phonon-backend-gstreamer-4.6.2-26.el6_4.x86_64 gstreamer-tools-0.10.29-1.el6.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.29-2.el6.x86_64 PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin-0.5.8-21.el6.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.18-4.el6.x86_64 -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

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

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.

extremely slow NFS performance under 6.x [SOLVED]
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 04 Nov '13

04 Nov '13

I've posted here about this a number of times. The other admin I work with had been playing with it recently, with some real problems we'd been having, and this time, with a year or so's more stuff to google, and newer documentation, found the problem. What we'd been seeing: cd to an NFS-mounted directory, and from an NFS-mounted directory, tar -xzvf a 25M or so tar.gz, which unpacks to about 105M. Under CentOS 5, on a local drive, seconds; doing the above, about 35 seconds. Mount options included sync. Under 6.x, from the beginning, it was 6.5 to 7 *minutes*. The result was that we'd been keeping our home directory servers on 5. What he found was the mount option barrier. According to one or two hits I found, googling, it's not clear that 5.x even recognizes this option. From upstream docs, <https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux…>, it's enabled by default, and affects *all* journalled filesystems. Remounting the drive with -o nobarrier, I just NFS mounted an exported directory... and it took 20 seconds. Since most of our systems are all on UPSes, we're not worried about sudden power loss... and my manager did a jig, and we're starting to talk about migrating the rest of our home directory servers.... mark

root password required
by Valeri Shibaev 04 Nov '13

04 Nov '13

Hi, I've lost private key for my instance. So I've generated new Private/Public Keys, Created Image from my instance, and Launched new instance. Now I can ssh to this new instance: but it ask me for root password (which it did not on original instance): It looks like this is problem with MarketPlace AMI I was using originally: CentOS-6-x86_64-20120527-EBS-03-adc4348e-1dc3-41df-b833-e86ba57a33d6-ami-8f9af1e6.1 (ami-83cd5eb9). Any help with fixing this unexpected root password required problem?

Though I've used it countless times in the past, "yum update --skip-broken" doesn't work anymore... it doesn't skip over updates which have dependency problems. Is this a known issue? Is there a work-around for it? Has anyone else experienced this? tnx.
