sda and sdb reverse order with an external USB drive
by Joseph Hesse 04 Jul '13

04 Jul '13

Hello I am using 64 bit CentOS 6.4 on an i7 laptop with one sata drive and a CD drive. I installed CentOS by manually partitioning sda as: sda1 as /boot, sda2 as swap, sda3 as /. The booted system works great. When I insert an external USB drive, formatted as ext3, the hard drive on the laptop and the USB drive are either sda or sdb, depending upon the order on which I insert the USB drive and boot the system. Please see the two mount commands below for each of these situations. This seems to work in either order except for the fact that I don't want my USB drive to automount. What I want is that after I insert the USB drive in a running system and wait 15 seconds, I want to mount the USB drive with the command "# mount /mnt". To accomplish this I added a line to /etc/fstab but it didn't work. When I uncomment the last line in fstab (see below) the computer hangs and doesn't boot. I was successful with this strategy on a similar laptop with Fedora 18 but not my current one. Thank you, Joe Hesse ======================================================================================== The following mount command was issued by first completely booting CentOS and then inserting the external USB Drive. Note the sda3 is / and sda1 is /boot. [root@XoticPC ~]# mount /dev/sda3 on / type ext4 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext4 (rw) none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw) sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw) /dev/sdb1 on /media/GoFlex type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks) ======================================================================================== The following mount command was issued by inserting the external USB drive in a powered down computer and then booting. Note the sdb3 is / and sdb1 is /boot. [root@XoticPC ~]# mount /dev/sdb3 on / type ext4 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) /dev/sdb1 on /boot type ext4 (rw) none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw) sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw) /dev/sda1 on /media/GoFlex type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks) ======================================================================================== The /etc/fstab file was generated by the install process. The commented line at the bottom was added by me in an unsuccessful attempt to be able to insert the USB drive in a booted computer, not having it mount, and then control the mounting with "# mount /mnt". The last UUID is the UUID of sdb1 determined with the command "# blkid /dev/sdb1". # /etc/fstab UUID=1d7606b7-46b8-4b29-9a4e-a50a1f6a1759 / ext4 defaults 1 1 UUID=e0fdfeb1-e7a7-4a06-b5fa-7730c3c2e60d /boot ext4 defaults 1 2 UUID=d0e3c2ee-7c66-4d13-b387-1da958020b1a swap swap defaults 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 #UUID=3b550884-8d05-41a5-a205-17b6d7269dd1 /mnt ext3 rw,suid,dev,exec,noauto,nouser,async 0 2

Java/Solr - Could not reserve enough space for object heap.
by Rafał Radecki 04 Jul '13

04 Jul '13

Hi All. # cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 6.2 (Final) # uname -r 2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64 # rpm -qa | grep solr apache-solr-3.5.0-1.5... I have a solr installation which is invoked: /usr/bin/java -Xms25g -Xmx25g -DSTOP.PORT=8079 -DSTOP.KEY=mustard -Dsolr.solr.home=multicore -jar start.jar After start/when the java process is running: # free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 32093 23975 8118 0 189 5736 -/+ buffers/cache: 18049 14043 Swap: 4095 22 4073 So the machine has 32GB of RAM, and java process needs 25GB to start. When I make a restart the java process dies and in log: Jul 4 08:17:27 test.local solr: Error occurred during initialization of VM Jul 4 08:17:27 test.local solr: Could not reserve enough space for object heap Jul 4 08:17:27 test.local solr: [FAILED] Then a second restart is ok, the process starts and solr is responding. Have you had such problems? As I think during stop jvm gives back the memory to the operating system and then during start is requesting 25GB (can there be a lag in this process?). No other services are running on this machine. Best regards, Rafal.

Centos 6.4 and Virtualbox
by Mark H Needleman 04 Jul '13

04 Jul '13

I'm trying to install Centos 6.4 under Virtualbox on a Mac running Lion. I downloaded the 2 iso DVD files and set Virtualbox to boot from DVD 1 When I start the vm it puts out a lot of messages then asks me what kind of install I want to do. I select the basic install and it tells me it found the media ( the iso DVD file I downloaded) puts out a message about the anaconda ( I think) install starting then goes to a screen with the Centos 6 logo and appears to do nothing. No more messages appear. Should I be using the minimal iso install file? I have installed Windows XP, 7 and 8 under Virtualbox and they all work. I also installed Ubuntu but didn't like it so I removed it and thought I would try Centos Does anyone know what might be going on and how to get it working? Thanks for any advice or help Mark Needleman Sent from Mark Needleman's iPad

trouble with crash utility
by Keith Keller 04 Jul '13

04 Jul '13

Hi all, I recently had an issue where, running kernel 2.6.32-358.11.1, the box would be up for about five minutes, then would crash and reboot. kdump saved the vmcore files, so I was hoping to run crash against them to see why this was occurring. I copied the vmcores to another machine, installed the kernel-debuginfo package, and gave it a try, but had no success: $ crash /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.32-358.11.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64/vmlinux vmcore crash 6.1.0-1.el6 Copyright (C) 2002-2012 Red Hat, Inc.

Best practices to setup XEN running on CentOS 6.4
by PhantomNet 04 Jul '13

04 Jul '13

Hi everyone, I'm looking for advice on the best way to setup the guest disks on a single-server XEN system running on a Centos 6.4 fresh minimal install as the dom0. I currently have a system running a traditional VHD disk image for each guest but I'm having disk I/O difficulties and I am looking to optimize it the best way I can. The host disks are two classic 500GB SATA-III drives running in software RAID. My question is what is the best way to set this type of system up? Using the VHD disks or a dedicated LVM partition? Ideally the host will run a few VM's, development, MySQL/Memcached, and Web Server utilities. My current planned disk layout is to have a host system running a raid'd root 20GB partition, leaving the rest for VM's. Should the remaining block be a complete LVM device and carve that up for VM's, or is there a better "accepted practice" for a setup like this? Thanks

Weird Okular/KDE error - thousand procs spawned
by Kwan Lowe 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

Hello all: I'm trying to troubleshoot a strange and repeatable error and not sure where to log the bug report. I subscribe to Linux Journal and download their PDF. The DLJ230.pdf opens in the Okular PDF reader from Konqueror. If I scroll down to the ad for some colo site (www.ovh.com) and click the right side of the page, I immediately start getting hundreds of alerts on the desktop. These all say: www.ovh.com contacted. Waiting for reply... Source: http://www.ovh.com/us/index.html They appear at the rate of about one per second. A "ps -ef" shows hundreds of new processes such as: kwan 27155 24731 0 18:21 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit4: kio_http [kdeinit] http local:/tmp/ksocket-kwan/klauncherT24732.s kwan 27169 24731 1 18:21 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit4: kio_http [kdeinit] http local:/tmp/ksocket-kwan/klauncherT24732.s kwan 27177 24731 1 18:21 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit4: kio_http [kdeinit] http local:/tmp/ksocket-kwan/klauncherT24732.s kwan 27184 24731 1 18:22 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit4: kio_http [kdeinit] http local:/tmp/ksocket-kwan/klauncherT24732. I let it run for a few minutes to see if it would time out but it just keeps growing until I finally kill all the kio_http procs (killall kio_http). It's reproducible on at least two CentOS 6.4 builds. Not sure if it's an Okular bug or something else.

Adding browsers
by Beartooth 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

Recently, I put CentOS 6.4 on one of the four PCs I keep behind a KVM switch. I like it a whole lot in most ways, but Fedora has spoiled me : I install almost every browser I can, and generally keep half a dozen or more open, mostly with several tens of tabs open. Iow, I use browsers as I used to use books, back in the Carboniferous when I had a desk in the stacks. Are there ways a subtechnoid can run Arora, Dillo, Epiphany, Konqueror, Midori, Kazehakase, Rekonq, Opera, and Pan on this CentOS -- without falling into the bad old pit of dependency hell? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
