CentOS: Install Packages Via yum Command Using DVD / CD as Repo
by Al Sparks 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

I'm confused about this. Is this supposed to work without me mounting my CD/DVD? If you are supposed to mount it, what path should you use to make this work? http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/centos-linux-install-packages-from-dvd-using-y… === Al

Advanced Persistent Threats; Why aren't we confining Firefox and Evolution?
by David McGuffey 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Moat of the advanced persistent threats (APT) are initiated via e-mail. Opening an attachment or clicking on a web link starts the process. Why isn't Firefox and Evolution confined with SELinux policy in a way that APT can't damage the rest of the system? Why are we not sandboxing these two apps with SELinux? I've discovered some guidance for sandboxing Firefox using the 'sandbox' command. Once I test it a bit, I'll post the results back here. Seems to me that if this works, it should be the default.

Newer version of ftdi_sio
by Stephen Harris 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

I have just bought an FTDI USB UART New USB device found, idVendor=0403, idProduct=6015 New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Product: FT231X USB UART Manufacturer: FTDI However this appears to be slightly too new for the ftdi_sio driver in C6.4; it's not detected. If I force it modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0x0403 product=0x6015 then it gets detected as a FT232RL which is _close_... but doesn't seem to quite work. If I use "kermit -l /dev/ttyUSB0 -C 'transmit foo,quit'" then I get "Timeout" errors from kermit. If I plug the same adapter into a Ubuntu 12.10 instance it detects as FT-X and the same kermit command works correctly. So I guess I need a newer ftdi_sio driver; has anyone built such, or have instructions? -- rgds Stephen

difficulty saving pdfs

Often when I try "Save a copy" from a pdf viewer, I get a nyet, no such file as /tmp/s.../... . Making the indicated directory allows the save. What is the problem? Is it a gnome thing?

CentOS 6.4 kickstart bonding
by Baptiste AGASSE 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

Hi all, Someone played with kickstart bonding with centos 6.4 ? CentOS 6.4, as upstream now support ifcae bonding in kickstart network section. I've an issue with configuring a second bonding iface in kicstart on CentOS 6.4. The first bonding (bond0) works as espected but the second is not configured during installation. I've a 6 nic server (two for "puclic" network, two for cluster network, two for iscsi network) here is my "network" kickstart section: # "Public" network, bond0 created, it works fine, network --device=bond0 --noipv6 --bootproto=static --onboot=yes --hostname=box.example.com --ip=192.168.1.3 --netmask=255.255.255.0 --gateway=192.168.1.1 --nameserver=192.168.1.1 --bondslaves=p1p1,p1p2 --bondopts=mode=active-backup,primary=p1p1,miimon=80,updelay=60000 # Cluster network, not created on install network --device=bond1 --noipv6 --nodns --nodefroute --bootproto=static --onboot=yes --ip=192.168.2.2 --netmask=255.255.255.0 --bondslaves=em1,em2 --bondopts=mode=active-backup,primary=em1,miimon=80,updelay=60000 # ISCSI network network --device=p1p3 --noipv6 --nodns --nodefroute --bootproto=static --onboot=yes --mtu=9000 --ip=192.168.3.1 --netmask=255.255.255.0 network --device=p1p4 --noipv6 --nodns --nodefroute --bootproto=static --onboot=yes --mtu=9000 --ip=192.168.3.2 --netmask=255.255.255.0 # bond slave network --device=em1 --noipv6 --nodns --bootproto=static --onboot=yes # bond slave network --device=em2 --noipv6 --nodns --bootproto=static --onboot=yes # bond slave network --device=p1p1 --noipv6 --nodns --bootproto=static --onboot=yes # bond slave network --device=p1p2 --noipv6 --nodns --bootproto=static --onboot=yes when i check anaconda-ks.cfg on the installed host, the second bonding iface (bond1) is not present. No error displayed during install or present in install log files on installed hosts. Maybe Have a nice day. Regards. Baptiste.

Greetings Dear CentOS List Guys i have some specific requirement but at this point i only with to know if the following is possible. 1.) CENTOS Machine Acting as Router 2.) Machine is part of 10 VlANs Using 10 local interfaces Is it possible that i can identify the source traffic and forward it to the specific interface. i.e. Remote packet coming from 192.168.21.0 should be forward to 192.168.20.20 (eth1) Is that possible ?

Making a clone of an LVM-based EL5 install
by Lists 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

Does anybody here have any idea how to make an exact copy of a drive that has LVM partitions? I'm having trouble using dd to do this for an EL5 server. We're trying to diagnose a software problem of some kind and would like an exact, perfect copy of the software running so that we can see exactly what the problem is without disturbing our production copy. It's been admin practice to set up a single server with the ideal image as desired, and then use DD to replicate that image to multiple hosts. We've done this a large number of times. The exact procedure followed is: -) Perform typical file-level backups with rsync -) Install additional HDD (hereafter sdb) as least a big as the HDD to be duplicated. -) Boot off a CentOS install DVD with "linux rescue" -) Where /dev/sda is the original drive and /dev/sdb is the new drive, run: dd bs=8192 if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb; -) shutdown the server upon completion of the previous command and remove 2nd drive. Hereafter, using systems NOT running lvm, we have a bootable drive that can be installed into a 2nd machine and generally expect things to "just work" after sorting out a few driver issues. (EG: /dev/eth#s change) Following this exact procedure with partitions on LVM does NOT result in a booting system! -) When booting from the newly imaged drive, it starts the boot just fine but quits at: ---------------------------- Activating logical volumes Volume group "VolGroup00" not found Trying to resume from /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 Unable to access resume device (/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01) Creating root device. Mounting root filesystem. mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root' --SNIP-- switchroot: mount failed: no such file or directory Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! ---------------------------- -) Running Linux rescue, at the shell: ---------------------------- # pvscan PV /dev/sda2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [153.28 GiB / 0 free] Total: 1 [153.28 GiB] / inuse: 1 [153.28 GiB] / in no VG: [0 ] # vgscan Reading all physical volums.

What am I missing?!?!

New locales on C6...
by John Doe 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

Hi, I am trying to add esperanto and a modified greek locales... but I am not sure I am doing it right... On C5, a long time ago, I would: - grab eo_XX and el_GR from the net and put them in /usr/share/i18n/locales - localedef -c -i eo_XX -f UTF-8 /usr/share/locale/eo_XX.utf8 - localedef -c -i el_GR -f UTF-8 /usr/share/locale/el_GR.utf8 The thing is in my archives, I would have locales in both: /usr/lib/locale/ /usr/share/locale/ I do not remember if I just copied the share one in the llib one... Now, on C6, I see only /usr/share/locale/ populated... Does anybody have any experience with modifying/adding locales...? Thx, JD

unexpected 'reinitialize disk?' prompt form anaconda during kickstart with zerombr
by Duncan Hutty 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Anyone have any thoughts on why anaconda might be prompting me to reinitialize the disk during the kickstart of a Centos6.4 install on hyperV when a) the kickstart file contains "zerombr" as referred to in the installation guide[1] b) installation proceeds with no prompt on KVM hypervisors and succeeds? I have read the release notes[2]/tech notes[3] for 6.4 and noted lots of changes concerned with virtualization in general and hyperv hosts in particular, but I don't see anything that appears to be directly pertinent. I did try using the "clearpart --initlabel --all" approach (although that appears to be removed from 6.4), but I get the prompt with that as well.

Policy kit issue on new install of 6.4
by Emmett Culley 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Twice I've done a fresh install of a "Development" machine. In both cases pkexec as a normal user always returns "Error executing command as another user: No authentication agent was found." This keeps me from getting a root command line and prevents yumex from starting from the launcher. I've googled and found nothing accept some references to installing virtual box. Checking the man pages for polkit was no help either. Since this only happens when I install the "Development" group I must assume that some package is missing, and I am at a loss as to where to look. Any clues? Emmett

kickstart bonding
by Artifex Maximus 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Hello! I would like to use the new bonding feature of kickstart in release 6.4. My setup is one bonding interface (bond0) with two (eth0, eth1) ethernet cards. I am using two VLANs on bonding interface so I have no IP for bond0 but have IPs for bond0.1 and bond0.2. If I create config by hand it works. Now I would like to convert my kickstart file using the new bonding feature. The kickstart file has: network --onboot=yes --noipv6 --device=eth0 --bootproto=static network --onboot=yes --noipv6 --device=eth1 --bootproto=static network --onboot=yes --noipv6 --device=bond0 --bootproto=static --bondslaves=eth0,eth1 --bondopts=... Kickstart gives an error to the bond0 line saying "The provided network interface bond0 does not exist". Why? Then I put a 'modprobe bonding' line to my %pre section. Now same error in the following line: network --onboot=yes --noipv6 --device=bond0 --vlanid=1 --bootproto=static --ip=192.168.1.1 --netmask=255.255.255.0 It is clear as I do not have bond0.1 but why should I have at setup time. I do not want to use at setup time only in my final installation. I am lost that point so I turned to the list. I do not really understand why kickstart use interface bond0 and others at the setup time. Is it just parameters for making config file to my installation. Any idea what is the problem or a good tutorial on this new feature? Thanks, a

CentOS 6.4 kickstart bonding
by Baptiste AGASSE 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

Hi all, Someone played with kickstart bonding with centos 6.4 ? CentOS 6.4, as upstream now support ifcae bonding in kickstart network section. I've an issue with configuring a second bonding iface in kicstart on CentOS 6.4. The first bonding (bond0) works as espected but the second is not configured during installation. I've a 6 nic server (two for "puclic" network, two for cluster network, two for iscsi network) here is my "network" kickstart section: # "Public" network, bond0 created, it works fine, network --device=bond0 --noipv6 --bootproto=static --onboot=yes --hostname=box.example.com --ip=192.168.1.3 --netmask=255.255.255.0 --gateway=192.168.1.1 --nameserver=192.168.1.1 --bondslaves=p1p1,p1p2 --bondopts=mode=active-backup,primary=p1p1,miimon=80,updelay=60000 # Cluster network, not created on install network --device=bond1 --noipv6 --nodns --nodefroute --bootproto=static --onboot=yes --ip=192.168.2.2 --netmask=255.255.255.0 --bondslaves=em1,em2 --bondopts=mode=active-backup,primary=em1,miimon=80,updelay=60000 # ISCSI network network --device=p1p3 --noipv6 --nodns --nodefroute --bootproto=static --onboot=yes --mtu=9000 --ip=192.168.3.1 --netmask=255.255.255.0 network --device=p1p4 --noipv6 --nodns --nodefroute --bootproto=static --onboot=yes --mtu=9000 --ip=192.168.3.2 --netmask=255.255.255.0 # bond slave network --device=em1 --noipv6 --nodns --bootproto=static --onboot=yes # bond slave network --device=em2 --noipv6 --nodns --bootproto=static --onboot=yes # bond slave network --device=p1p1 --noipv6 --nodns --bootproto=static --onboot=yes # bond slave network --device=p1p2 --noipv6 --nodns --bootproto=static --onboot=yes when i check anaconda-ks.cfg on the installed host, the second bonding iface (bond1) is not present. No error displayed during install or present in install log files on installed hosts. Maybe Have a nice day. Regards. Baptiste.

evaluating backup systems: rsync
by ken 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

Considering using rsync on a couple systems for backup, I was wondering if it's possible, and if so how difficult is it, to delete files which have been backed up (in order to save space on the backup media). Anyone with experience doing this?

Mounting USB drives read-only by default?
by James Pearson 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

Is it possible to configure the automounting of USB drives to mount read-only? Is there some gconf/udev/udisks/hal/whatever setting to alter the default mount options when USB disks are plugged in by users? Thanks James Pearson

Kernel panic after update
by Kwan Lowe 17 Mar '13

17 Mar '13

Hello all: I just updated yesterday and rebooted when I received this error: compat: exports duplicate symbol pcmcia_loop_typle (owned by kernel) FATAL: Error inserting dm_mod (/lib/modules/2.6.32.-358.2.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64/kernel/drivers/md/dm-mod.ko): Invalid module format compat: exports duplicate symbol pcmcia_loop_tuple (owned by kernel) It is a centos-plus update however. Is this the correct forum to discuss issues with the plus repo? Thanks, Kwan

moderate rant un updates
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 16 Mar '13

16 Mar '13

So, another admin I work with rolled out most (but not kernel) updates to 6.4... but including xorg. I log out the end of the day, and I'm hosed - no X. Now, my not-two-year-old workstation has an nvidia card, and I'd installed kmod-nvidia from elrepo. I figured I'd fix my problem by finishing the upgrade and rebooting. Nope. I try to upgrade kmod-nvidia from elrepo. Anyone got any good explanations as to why they'd put kmod-nvidia-310.40 in the repo, with the previous version not obvious... AND NOT HAVE THE *REQUIRED* nvidia-x11-drv-310.40 in there? Why not wait until both pieces could be uploaded, since kmod-nividia WILL NOT INSTALL without the other...? I then stupidly uninstalled the previous kmod-nvidia & nvidia-x11-drv, hoping it would allow a good install. Nope. Found the proprietary installer on the NVidia site, and I'm up. <rant, snort> On a related note, does anyone have a link to a howto build the NVidia proprietary driver on a kernel that's *not* running, so we could prebuild it before the reboot? I see there are options in the script, but no examples. Also, is dkms coming in, or deprecated? mark

Lockups with kernel-2.6.32-358.0.1.el6.i686
by Ian Pilcher 16 Mar '13

16 Mar '13

I updated my home server with the 6.4 CR packages, and I've experienced 3 or 4 hard lockups since. The server is a fanless VIA C7 "CentaurHauls" system with a 1GHz CPU underclocked to 800MHz and 1GB of RAM. It has a dual-port Intel 82546GB NIC in its single PCI slot. (It also has an on-board Realtek RTL-8110SC/8169SC NIC that is plugged in, but doesn't currently have an IP address configured.) This server provides a number of services -- DNS, DHCP, routing between VLANs, DLNA media server, CUPS, etc. Most importantly, it runs Asterisk and manages all of the phones in the house. There's absolutely nothing in the logs related to the lockup. The system simply becomes totally unresponsive, to the point that the console cursor stops blinking. A hard reset is required to bring it back. kernel-2.6.32-279.22.1.el6.i686 seems to be completely stable. I don't really expect to be able to figure this out, but I thought I'd post here to see if anyone else is experiencing anything like this with this kernel. Thanks! -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher arequipeno(a)gmail.com Sometimes there's nothing left to do but crash and burn...or die trying. ========================================================================

There are three more like that. Yes, kernel "358". the "359" was a typo. And... the kernel panic lines were transcribed for a photo I took of the screen after the failed boot. On second look I see that the version is 2.6.32-358.0.1.el6.x86_64. So let's start again. Kernel panic - Not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Pid: 1, comm: init not tainted: 2.6.32-358.0.1.el6.x86_64 #1 After yum upgrade --enablerepo=epel on two of five machines, one of which is the host for the three VM's that succeeded and the one that failed, just as the host. I have a screen shot of that VM's boot failure, but I don't know the proper way to include it in a post. I've uninstalled that kernel and ran yum upgrade again, it still fails on that kernel, on both the host and the VM. I suppose the good thing is that it happened on a VM guest that is not critical, so I don't have to experiment with the host that has four important guests running on it. Any ideas? Emmett

The url will still respond and redirect people to a page that explains the situation. In the mean time, we are kicking off a stream of efforts to try and get better test coverage, more automation, more frequent test runs and above all - better communication to everyone on what the test results are, while further dropping the barriers for people to come along and write tests, help us push better code. Two efforts currently underway are getting a status like page online, that also shows recent history ( ref: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2013-March/009099.html ) and getting the Linux test project content included in the regular test suite that we run ( ref: http://ltp.sourceforge.net/ and http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2013-March/009099.html ) How can you help ? Drop in on those conversations and talk to us, help us put in place the best possible solution.

Maybe you'll end up using the CentOS base and need to build a newer kernel yourself to have the proper driver for that Atheros chip. Since that unit will probably not be an Internet-facing host, you can run a custom kernel without any drawbacks. Since CentOS 6.[34] is running a 2.6.32 kernel, I don't know that I place much belief in this information [0] (see post #4) helping. And this poster's Atheros is an AR5001.

Re: [CentOS] UC OT: A lightweight monitor software
by Rushton Martin 15 Mar '13

We run ganglia on a 35 node cluster (plus a few odds and ends). It seems pretty lightweight. I've just finished installing the latest versions at home on old slow 32-bit kit and it seems again to be very lightweight. You will need to install libconfuse and RRD though, the former comes as a tarball. You'll need to configure/make/make install and then tell yum to ignore the missing dependency.

usb device path/name translating

cgroups not working?
by Dennis Jacobfeuerborn 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

Hi, I'm trying to use cgroups to limit the apache webserver but this doesn't seem to work as far as I can tell. I modified cgconfig.conf like this: group webserver { cpu { cpu.shares="250"; } } and addes this to cgrules.conf: *:httpd * webserver Looking into the "webserver" cgroup shows that the pid's of the httpd processes are correctly assigned: $ cat /cgroup/cpu/webserver/tasks 6191 6193 6194 6195 6196 6197 6207 Yet when I run a php file with a dummy loop I get a process with 100% cpu usage until the script times out which is not what I expect. Am I doing something wrong or why doesn't the cpu.shares setting seem to take? Regards, Dennis

SOLUTION: Atom Processor D4xx/D5xx/N4xx/N5xx Integrated Graphics Controller - GDM login doesn't show up
by Frank Cox 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

This problem is so damn weird and frustrating that I thought it would be worthwhile to post this solution for anyone who may run into this situation in the future, since I was unable to find any mention of this after much searching, and no error messages appear in any logfiles that I could find either. This applies to a machine with a Atom Processor D4xx/D5xx/N4xx/N5xx Integrated Graphics Controller (according to what lshw tells me). PROBLEMS FOUND: Live CD: When booting off a a Live CD, the computer boots off of the CD and then loads to the point where the GDM login should show up (and then say "automatic login"), but it stalls at that point and nothing further happens. The blue gdm background screen appears but nothing more. Net Install CD: When installing from a netinstall CD, the entire installation works perfectly (in graphical mode). After the installation is completed you reboot the machine and the usual firstboot stuff (set timezone, create username, etc) comes up and runs as usual. After finishing the firstboot stuff, you reboot and the machine loads to the GDM background screen. The "enter password" box never appears on the screen. If you log in to text mode, then type startx, the gnome desktop loads to the point that the blue background screen shows up, and that's it. Nothing further happens until you ctrl-alt-backspace and kill the Xserver. There are no unusual error messages in any of the log files (/var/log/Xorg.0.log, /var/log/messages or any of the log files under /var/log/gdm), which makes this issue a challenge to run down. SOLUTION: Running GDM and X on the Atom Processor D4xx/D5xx/N4xx/N5xx Integrated Graphics Controller requires that you create a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d that I named 10-monitor.conf. Here is 10-monitor.conf: QUOTE Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "intel" #Choose the driver used for this monitor EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" #Collapse Monitor and Device section to Screen section Device "Device0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 16 #Choose the depth (16||24) SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1920x1080" #Choose the resolution EndSubSection EndSection END OF QUOTE Change the Modes line to match the resolution of your monitor, of course. That's it. Problem solved. GDM loads and Gnome works as expected. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com www.creekfm.com - FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS of POW WOW POWER!

Shorewall and upgrade from 6.3 to 6.4

Just got burnt by this one this morning. If you are upgrading from 6.3 to 6.4 and you use shorewall, you will want to run restorecon -Rv /sbin before rebooting.

Kernel panic after update to 6.4
by Emmett Culley 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

After successfully updating three CentOS 6.3 VM guests to 6.4 I decided to update the host as well. And it failed to boot. Kernel panic - Not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Pid: 1, comm: init not tainted: 2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86_64 #1 Plus a call trace I couldn't see Luckily I was able to boot from the previous kernel and get my system back up. After booting to the previous kernel I removed the "358" kernel and all of it's related module and devel packages using yum remove, then did yum update again, as I could only guess that the install somehow didn't complete. But it still fails to boot. Now the kernel panic has happened to a 6.3 VM guest I upgraded, now it isn't just the host hardware that is a problem. Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas where to start troubleshooting? Emmett

ntfs-3g

I'm looking for ntfs-3g. I'm getting lots of hits through google, but I'm suspicious of some of the sites. The one rpm I downloaded from rpmfind wouldn't install because of some missing library. Where's a good place to get the tarball? === Al

by Robert Moskowitz 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

I have a few oqo2 units that I use for testing, normally using the dongle for ethernet connection. Well supposedly they have atheros wifi. in dmseg I see: ath5k 0000:03:04.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 ath5k 0000:03:04.0: registered as 'phy0' ath5k phy0: Couldn't identify radio revision. ath5k 0000:03:04.0: PCI INT A disabled I press magic <fnc-?> per http://www.expansys.com/ft.aspx?k=119902 but NetworkManager is not adding wifi as a networking device. There is no file under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifc-* either. How can I get the wifi working?

[OT/HW] hardware raid -- comment/experience with 3Ware
by Arun Khan 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Greetings, I am looking for a hardware raid card that supports up to 4 SATA II hard disks with hot swap (compatible raid cage) I have short listed two LSI/3Ware cards: 1. 9750-4i 2. 9650SE-4LPML Both appear to be well supported in Linux. I would appreciate your personal experience with the CLI tools provided by LSI. Can they be configured to send email for disk failures or SMART errors? Is there a Web interface for monitoring? Any preference between 1 and 2 above. Thanks for your time and suggestions. -- Arun Khan

UEFI Bootable ISO HowTo
by Skeeve Stevens 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Hey all, We've developed our own microserver platform sitting on top of CentOS 5.4. We deploy them in many locations and normally use netbooks for this purpose. This has worked fine for years, except most netbooks have started to disappear (in Australia). The lowest price hardware I found the other day was the ASUS F201E (X201E in USA). It is the right size at the right price... but it runs on UEFI Bios. This has caused me to burn hours trying to figure what is going on until someone pointed me to: CentOS-6.3-x86_64-minimal-EFI.iso - which worked fine (except no LAN drivers for this device are present - damnit). As we roll our own ISO... I want to re-build our platform on top of CentOS 6.4 - or something current, but while the OS isn't an issue... the EFI aspect is... and I can't seem to find out how to roll and ISO with EFI support. Does anyone know of a doc out there which might be able to assist me with getting something going? ...Skeeve *Skeeve Stevens - *eintellego Networks Pty Ltd skeeve(a)eintellegonetworks.com ; www.eintellegonetworks.com Phone: 1300 239 038; Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 ; skype://skeeve facebook.com/eintellegonetworks ; <http://twitter.com/networkceoau> linkedin.com/in/skeeve twitter.com/networkceoau ; blog: www.network-ceo.net The Experts Who The Experts Call Juniper - Cisco - Cloud

replacing joe

Morning everybody, I am still using good old joe editor on my CentOS machines although it is no longer included in the CentOS repositories. Is there any comparable "wordstar" compatible editor that is part of the standard distribution? And no, I don't want to use Emacs. :-) best regards --- Michael Schumacher

Where's crm (from pacemaker-cli) on CentOS 6.4?
by Antonio da Silva Martins Junior 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Hi, After upgrade the nodes on one of my HA clusters I find that "crm" isn't on the pacemaker-cli package. After some research on the web I find this: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linuxha/pacemaker/84376?page=last That thread points to this OpenSuSE repo: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/ha-clustering/RedHat_RHE… Which suply the new "crm" from "CRM shell" project: http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/crmsh/ Then, after upgrade, put the new repo on, and install "crmsh". Hope this helps. Att., Antonio. -- +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Antonio S.

looking for bind 9.9 for Centos 6 - found 'CentAlt'
by Robert Moskowitz 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Yesterday, in a hall conversation, I was strongly directed to bind 9.9. It can do the inline signing of a zone changes that 9.8 can't. So today, I went digging for someone supplying it all nicely packaged for me; my servers are all i386. I found a couple sources but the one that I found is: http://pkgs.org/centos-6-rhel-6/centalt-i386/ but digging deeper I found it pointing to: http://centos.alt.ru/repository/centos/6/i386/ So I am not so sure I want to get it from there. What are my choices? I found another site, but it only has x86_64 rpms.

Weird mouse behaviour (after upgrade to CentOS 6.4?)
by Toralf Lund 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Hi. For a few days now I've had some pretty annoying mouse-related problems on my CentOS setup. I'm not sure if I get "false" mouse events or what it is, but quite frequently I find that the system has somehow got into a state where mouse clicks are not properly received - although I can move the pointer all right, and they keyboard also works just fine. The only way I've been able to get back to a sane state, is to switch to a different virtual console via Ctrl+Alt+F-key, then back in a similar manner. This seemed to start after the last round of automatic updates, which took me to CentOS 6.4, although I suppose this might be coincidence. Has anyone else seen this kind of behaviour? Any idea at all what's going on? - Toralf This e-mail, including any attachments and response string, may contain proprietary information which is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Postfix setup
by Austin Einter 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Dear All I am planning to setup mail server for my domain. Which one is preferred postfix or sendmail. I came across a link * http://ostechnix.wordpress.com/2013/02/08/setup-mail-server-using-postfixdo… * for postfix mail setup. It says, Prerequisites: - The mail server should contain a valid MX record in the DNS server. Navigate to this link how to setup DNS server<http://ostechnix.wordpress.com/2013/01/25/setup-dns-server-step-by-step-in-…> . - Firewall and SELinux should be disabled. I have disabled iptables as my m/c is behind the firewall. It says I need to disable firewall. Is it really required. Kindly let me know. Best Regards Austin

CentOS 6.3 - fail2ban not working properly + workaround
by SilverTip257 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

I recall others on this list are using fail2ban to block brute force login attempts. Packages are from the EPEL repo, so I'm just sharing some knowledge here. For about two months now I've had a CentOS 6.3 box (web host) in production that occasionally is ftp brute forced. Oddly enough fail2ban wasn't nabbing the perpetrators. I found that the iptables chain for VSFTP isn't created for one. I have finally come to find [0] that indicates there's a problem with the inotify backend. Setting backend=gamin in /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf gives me the iptables chain I expect to find and one blocked host. Hope this is helpful to somebody until a new version is commited to EPEL. <quote> yarikoptic: ok -- that point was not yet good ;) now (0.8.6-95-gc0c1232) that branch seems to work just perfect. If I hear no complaints or do not see problem with my instance -- I will merge it into master tomorrow, thus closing this issue </quote> [0] https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/issues/44 ---~~.~~--- Mike // SilverTip257 //

6.x - USB key
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

I just had to rebuild my USB key for a generic install (got to do that for a drive to send with the system back to the OEM for repair, y'know). This time, I used unetbootin, which took a while to build the key, and worked *almost* well. The two annoying hangups: it took a *long* time to extract the packages and put them all on the USB key, looking like a repo... EXCEPT that during the install, anaconda *demands* the .iso. I went back, deleted /mnt/usb/Packages, since it's only an 8G key, and just copied DVD 1 onto it. anaconda stopped, asked me where, I told it, and it happily went on its way. Then, it doesn't give you any kind of default grub.conf Oh, well. Drive's built and boots. mark

CentOs 6.4 and video drivers
by Yves Bellefeuille 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

The release notes for CentOS 6.4 state as follows: > With this release the ABI for the X.org video drivers changes, > possibly resulting in a failing X-Session. If you are running 3rd > party drivers - i.e. vBox addons, nVidia, ATI or ELRepo - you need to > ensure a compatible driver is loaded. I use flgrx from ELRepo. Does this mean that fglrx is now incompatible with CentOS? Yves Bellefeuille

Solr 4.1 - how to check replication staistics using wget?
by Rafał Radecki 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Hi All. I am currently migrating from solr 3.6 to solr 4.1. In 3.6 to check the status of solr master/slave replication I've been using url: http://${SOLRMASTER}:${SOLRPORT}/solr/admin/replication/index.jsp from script. After migration to 4.1 this url is no longer available. Can you tell which url can be used from script to check replication status? Best regards, Rafal.

CentOS 6 early panic on ESXi 4.1.0 build 800380
by Tilman Schmidt 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

I run VMware vSphere 4 Essentials with three almost identically configured ESXi 4.1 hosts and a mix of 32 and 64 bit guests including Windows 2003 and 2008 as well as CentOS 5 and 6. Recently I updated one of the hosts to build 800380. The new build runs Windows and CentOS 5 VMs fine, but CentOS 6 guests won't come up. I tried two different CentOS 6 VMs. Both have the latest standard kernel (2.6.32-279.5.2.el6.x86_64). Both run perfectly fine on one of the other VMware hosts still running ESXi 4.1.0 build 702113. On build 800380, both display the GRUB menu alright but freeze immediately afterwards, emitting the message PANIC: early exception 0d rip 10:ffffffff81038879 error 0 cr2 0 on the bottom of the virtual console. Both run perfectly fine again once I move them back to the host with the older ESXi build. From one of the failed boot attempts, I captured a VMware debug log which shows: Sep 11 17:21:19.628: vcpu-0| RDMSR: unknown MSR[0x1a0] (read as zero): rip=0xffffffff810388db count=1 Sep 11 17:21:19.628: vcpu-0| RDMSR: unknown MSR[0x1a0] (read as zero): rip=0xffffffff810388db count=2 Sep 11 17:21:19.629: vcpu-0| X86Fault_Warning: vmcore/vmm64/cpu/interp.c:427: cs:eip=0x10:0xffffffff81038879 fault=13 Sep 11 17:21:19.632: vcpu-0| Vix: [1125838 vmxCommands.c:9609]: VMAutomation_HandleCLIHLTEvent.

sendmail stops accepting e-mail after sending 40 to 50 messages
by pedro figueiredo 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

i have a centos box (vps) with sendmail and i'am using it to send a newsletter to mail clients. I'am using a machine in my local network to send the e-mails via SMTP (AUTH PLAIN) but after sending some e-mail (35 .. 50) the connection starts to get closed by the server (centos/sendmail) I've searched google for a limit configuration on number of e-mails in sendmail but didn't find anything. any ideias on what configuration can i use to allow me to send more e-mails?

SSL Certificate
by Austin Einter 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Dear All This is my continuation of postfix setup. Following link http://campworld.net/thewiki/pmwiki.php/LinuxServersCentOS/Cent6VirtMailSer… postfix setup. At one stage it says, Configuring The Server Setup SSL Certificate Now generate an SSL certificate for postfix and dovecot to have TLS support. Replace mail.example.com with your server hostname. > genkey --days 3650 mail.example.com My doubt is , 1. I have to install a SSL certificate for for web server (apache case). I am planning to purchase a SSL certificate and put it. The same certificate will be useful for both web server and mail server OR both web and mail server needs to separate separate SSL certificates. 2. I hope for web server case, one must purchase a ssl certificate and use it (so that browsers will work smoothly without complain). For mail server can one use locally generated ssl certificate? Kindly let me know. Best Regards Austin

I have been running Sendmail from version 8.6 in 1995 on HP-UX 9.02 to 8.13 at the present on CentOS-5.9 as these were the default MTA's shipped by the vendor. When RHEL-6 switched from Sendmail to Postfix I decided to bite the bullet and change my public MX servers to Postfix as and when I upgraded them to CentOS-6. This was not without difficulty and unhappiness, for I miss the command line email trace facility that Sendmail provides out of the box, but it was not traumatic either. The main benefit to using Postfix over Sendmail is that Postfix definitely places a lower intellectual load on its administrators. For that reason alone I would recommend it over Sendmail. While M4 macros take most of the arcana out of Sendmail's configuration files they are no where near as easy to understand as Postfix's simple config files. The only 'rule' I have to suggest is: The mail server host and all of its MX records must resolve to a DNS 'A" or 'AAAA' record. Do not use CNAME records with any MX host or you will learn why not to do this the hard way. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

serving a kickstart file over https with self-signed certificate
by jortega 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

I am currently using https for the --url and --repo options in a kickstart file. The yum repo files are also set to do the same. Both of them have a setting (noverifyssl and sslverify=no, respectively) and this works as expected to pass --insecure to curl. However, I cannot figure out how to also serve the kickstart file itself. ks=user:pass@url works as a url, but I get the "Problem with the SSL CA cert" error. Is there a kernel cmdline option? I have tried different variations of noverifyssl and rd_noverifyssl but haven't lucked upon the right one and I'm not finding the answer in google. This is centos6, btw. Thanks!

Somehow my vnc session (desktop) just disappeared in the middle of the job, while I was running "yum update" on the remote host machine and two other computers. Perhaps the "yum update" that was running on the remote host machine killed VNC -- in hindsight perhaps I shouldn't have done that. My google searching leads me to suspect that initramfs may be missing on those computers. If that is the case (which I will verify later this afternoon) then I'm thinking that perhaps chrooting to the hard drive followed by a simple yum remove kernel-2.6.32-358.0.1 and yum install kernel-2.6.32-358.0.1 will fix it. It's funny that all three of them died in the same way, though I guess they were all at about the same stage in the update process when my VNC session disappeared. Running "yum-complete-transaction", followed by "package-cleanup --cleandupes", followed by "yum update" seems to have put everything back the way that it should be, with the exception of whatever it is that prevents the machine from booting. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com www.creekfm.com - FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS of POW WOW POWER!

kickstart %pre vda/sda troubles

hi, The problem: for kvm/qemu disks are /dev/vdx devices when using the virtio driver. For vmware, drives are /dev/sdx devices. For hp servers, /dev/ccisss/whatever (sorry, no proliant with an array controller handy to check it). in order to just have one kickstart script to maintain I am trying to use the %pre section but getting a bit stuck. This is what I have: %pre if [ -b /dev/sda ] then zerombr clearpart --all bootloader --location=mbr --timeout=0 --driveorder=sda --append="crashkernel=auto rhgb quiet" part /boot --fstype=ext4 --size=500 part pv.008002 --grow --size=1 volgroup vg_host --pesize=4096 pv.008002 logvol / --fstype=ext4 --name=lv_root --vgname=vg_host --grow --size=1024 --maxsize=51200 logvol swap --name=lv_swap --vgname=vg_host --grow --size=512 --maxsize=1024 fi elif [ -b /dev/vda ] then zerombr clearpart --all bootloader --location=mbr --timeout=0 --driveorder=vda --append="crashkernel=auto rhgb quiet" clearpart --linux --drives=vda part /boot --fstype=ext4 --size=500 --ondisk=vda part pv.008002 --grow --size=1 --ondisk=vda volgroup vg_host --pesize=4096 pv.008002 logvol / --fstype=ext4 --name=lv_root --vgname=vg_host --grow --size=1024 --recommended logvol swap --name=lv_swap --vgname=vg_host --grow --size=512 --maxsize=1024 fi else echo unknown disk fi But when kickstarting a guest on a kvm host, I get this error: the kickstart configuration file is missing required information that anaconda cannot promtp for.

question after updating to 6.4
by Jerry Geis 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

My video driver for AMD HD 4200 did not work after upgrading. I tried to fix it with 13.1 legacy drivers but that did not work I then just grapped a AMD HD 5200 video card and put on AMD 13.1 "regular" and that worked. however, After updating x86_64 to 6.4 and when I compile my project I get this message make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.4.6/include/stddef.h', I have done a "make clean" and the message persists. there is no directory /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.4.6 - there is a 4.4.7 which matches the "gcc --version" Where is this message coming from and how can I remove it. Thanks, Jerry

Older versions of packages disappearing from yum repos
by Brian Lalor 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

I've been designing the infrastructure for a new team using CentOS 6 and Puppet. I'm still learning Puppet, but thought I had things pretty well under control. After this week, I'm beginning to wonder… :-) In the last week I've had versions of three packages disappear from the yum repositories I'm using, both EPEL and the standard ones from a base CentOS 6.3 install. Since I'm trying to install specific versions of packages with Puppet, this is a problem. The most recent one that just turned up this morning is kernel-devel. I have the following resource defined in one of my Puppet manifests: package {"kernel-devel-${::kernelrelease}": alias => 'kernel-devel', } I'm trying to ensure that I've got the kernel-devel package installed that matches the kernel I'm currently using. I naively assumed that once a package was made available via the official CentOS mirrors that it would never disappear. That doesn't appear to be the case. I have kernel-2.6.32-279.19.1.el6.x86_64 installed. kernel-devel-2.6.32-279.19.1.el6.x86_64 is gone, apparently replaced with kernel-devel-2.6.32-358.0.1.el6.x86_64. I have a couple of other packages that have given me problems, too, namely ngircd which was upgraded from 18 to 20.1. How do I manage this problem? Do I need to maintain my own mirrors? That seems like a horrible solution. Is there another CentOS repository I should be using? Am I just going about this all wrong? Thanks, Brian -- Brian Lalor blalor(a)bravo5.org

Just panicsville. I am trying to pack up to fly to meetings tomorrow, and saw this big update. It has been too long since I was serious with Centos, and forgot that dot releases are major changes to the life of your server. No way to bite off small bits. So I will download the full current repos to my server over the week way, then apply them after I get back. Just a case of bad timing on my part, resulting in an unnecessary panic. Sorry all.

yum update gone wild? - new base?

I am being hit on a number of my systems with yum update reporting 270+ rpms to update, and MOST are coming from the base repo. I checked a few out, and yes, they are of a higher release. I don't recall ever seeing the base repo change; it is almost like it is picking up the the 6.4 base repo instead. Anyone else seeing this. I JUST did an install from my local repo copy of the 6.3 base and update using a netinstall kickstart, then yum tells me that there are 270+ updates...

I have posted it months ago here: http://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/Skype-for-Redhat-Enterprise-6/td-p/1210… Actually, I also posted to the c6 fora back then and suggested to document it more precisely in the wiki. That posting was immediately closed without further ado. Someone even followed me to the skype fora, only to state that I'm just talking bullshit and that http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Skype has all you need to know. And of course yes: Skype-4.1 is running nicely here on x86_64 for all these months. And it doesn't require anything special -- and certainly not breaking your installation with some weird Qt-4.7.

CentOS 5 sshd does not log IP address of reverse mapping failure
by Tilman Schmidt 10 Mar '13

10 Mar '13

I'm running a mix of CentOS 5 and 6 servers reachable by ssh from the Internet. Of course I allow only public key authentication and no root login. In addition I'm running fail2ban to block obnoxious brute force attack sources. On CentOS 6 this is working pretty well, but on CentOS 5 there's one class of attacks fail2ban fails to ban. (No pun intended.) This isn't fail2ban's fault, but openssh's. When the source IP address of a failed attempt fails the reverse mapping check, CentOS 6 (openssh-server-5.3p1-81.el6_3.x86_64) logs: Mar 3 04:06:34 posthamster sshd[1718]: reverse mapping checking getaddrinfo for hn.ly.kd.adsl [61.163.113.72] failed - POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT! from which fail2ban can pick up and block IP address 61.163.113.72 just fine. CentOS 5 (openssh-server-4.3p2-82.el5) OTOH logs: Mar 3 04:44:48 gimli sshd[12870]: reverse mapping checking getaddrinfo for hn.ly.kd.adsl failed - POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT! without the IP address. The name is of no use because sshd just confirmed that it doesn't really correspond to the attacker's IP address. Any ideas how to remedy that situation?

lost connection during yum update
by Frank Cox 10 Mar '13

10 Mar '13

During today's big Centos 6 update I lost my connection to a machine during the "yum update" and when I logged back in and ran yum update again it told me to run yum-complete-transaction. When I ran yum-complete-transaction I got screen after screen of "x is a duplicate with x" where x consists of a huge list of packages. "package-cleanup --dupes" gives me a huge list of packages. I think that my next step here should be "package-cleanup --cleandupes" but when I do that it tells me that it will remove 800-plus mb of files. I suppose it's the the same list that I get with "package-cleanup --dupes". Do I want to do this or will that nuke the operating system? If not, what should I be doing? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com www.creekfm.com - FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS of POW WOW POWER!

Wireless cannot ping gateway after 6.3 CR updates
by b.j. mcclure 10 Mar '13

10 Mar '13

I'm having a wireless connection issue with an HP laptop and a Zotac media server after the 6.4 package updates from CR repository. Nothing changed with wireless config as far as I can tell. Both have been working fine with previous releases of 6.x. Oddly, if a cat 5 cable is connected for a few seconds and then disconnected the wireless works fine and survives a 'service network restart' but does not survive a reboot. A laptop running Ubuntu 12.04 continues to connect normally. The boxes in question appear to connect to the router/accesspoint, are assigned correct static IPs, but cannot ping any box on the intranet including the router. No other boxes on the intranet can ping the hp or zotac, Once a network cable is inserted and removed all is well with that box. The zotac box uses the ath9k wireless driver, the HP uses b43. Same result using DHCP instead of static IP. Output of iwconfig appears normal on both errant boxes and does not change from non-working to working state. Google has not been much help. FWIW, here is output of iwconfig and ifconfig. ~]$ ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:2E:BC:74:14 inet6 addr: fe80::201:2eff:febc:7414/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:9 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:1249 (1.2 KiB) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:89 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:89 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:8807 (8.6 KiB) TX bytes:8807 (8.6 KiB) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 74:F0:6D:8C:FE:CF inet addr:192.168.1.208 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::76f0:6dff:fe8c:fecf/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:732 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:79 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:107489 (104.9 KiB) TX bytes:9217 (9.0 KiB) [LSF@nra ~]$ iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"toadnet" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: 00:24:93:38:89:80 Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:on Link Quality=70/70 Signal level=-28 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:29 Missed beacon:0 Any thoughts appreciated.

XKB: Failed to compile keymap

10 Mar '13

I had to stop using the fglrx video driver from ELRepo, which isn't supported with CentOS 6.4. Now I can't start X; I get the following: > (II) [KMS] Kernel modesetting enabled. > The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: > Error: Cannot open "/tmp/server-0.xkm" to write keyboard > description > Exiting > The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: > Error: Cannot open "/tmp/server-0.xkm" to write keyboard > description > Exiting > XKB: Failed to compile keymap > Keyboard initialization failed.

Re: [CentOS] Apache setup problems
by Bruce Whealton 09 Mar '13

09 Mar '13

Hello, Yes, I have installed php with yum. I used php* and just recently was told that there is nothing to install, it is all up to date. I did a yum search php first, and tried to install a bunch of php modules, all of which are already installed. I had done that a while back. I think I might have done that from the Centos desktop and now I'm working mainly from ssh. By not working, I mean that the index.php file does not get processed as php - yes, I checked that the file was renamed .php and that there is no .html file that could be run instead of the php file. So, I added to a test file named index.php, and in the body I have a simple <?php phpinfo(); ?> In the tutorials I found online, there is mention of the php configuration can be in the httpd.conf file or it can be called from that file. I have this line in the httpd.conf Include conf.d/*.conf Will that work? I am calling that from the file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf so it seems like a relative path would be ../conf.d/*.conf, unless this is relative to this: ServerRoot "/etc/httpd" So, inside /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf I have # # PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language which attempts to make it # easy for developers to write dynamically generated webpages. # <IfModule prefork.c> LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so </IfModule> <IfModule worker.c> LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5-zts.so </IfModule> # # Cause the PHP interpreter to handle files with a .php extension. # AddHandler php5-script .php AddType text/html .php # # Add index.php to the list of files that will be served as directory # indexes. # DirectoryIndex index.php # # Uncomment the following line to allow PHP to pretty-print .phps # files as PHP source code: # AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps That should be enough at least get the phpinfo(); command to run. At some point, I got a message about there not being a php.ini file anywhere. Also, none of the other various php modules are being called anywhere. Still, I'm perplexed that I cannot get anything to run in terms of php. I could try a simple echo command to test something even simpler. Thanks, It's great that there is such active response on this list... fast response times when seeking help. :-) Bruce _______________________________________________________ Bruce Whealton - Web Design/Development/Programming Future Wave Web Development: http://futurewaveonline.com Developing for the Desktop as well as for Mobile Devices - Smartphones/Tablets Call 919-636-5809 _______________________________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: Reindl Harald [mailto:h.reindl@thelounge.net] Sent: Saturday, March 09, 2013 2:17 PM To: CentOS mailing list Cc: Bruce Whealton Subject: Re: [CentOS] Apache setup problems Am 09.03.2013 20:02, schrieb Bruce Whealton: > The problem was with the SELinux.

Question around updates and drpms directory
by Stephen Harris 09 Mar '13

09 Mar '13

Looking at the nice new 6.4 tree (thanks!!!) I see there are already a few updates. eg Packages/firefox-17.0.3-1.el6.centos.i686.rpm Packages/firefox-17.0.3-1.el6.centos.x86_64.rpm So far, so normal. These occur because of timing. That's not a problem; it's expected. What confuses me, though, is the drpms directory where there are 33 firefox drpm files compared to the 2 Packages, including firefox-3 versions! The drpms directory is around 3.3G whereas the Packages directory is only 680M. Is the drpms directory carrying legacy files? Or is this to be expected? -- rgds Stephen

Cannot mount 3TB MyBook USB HD
by Miller,Jason [Burlington] 08 Mar '13

08 Mar '13

Hello, new Linux user here and I cannot mount a new (empty) WD MyBook Essentials 3TB USB external hard drive (Model WDBACW0030HBK-NESN). I'm only about 3 weeks into this linux thing and so please forgive me if any of my syntax is off My linux OS is CentOS 5.4 x86-64 running on a dedicated HP z400. The WD MyBook is to back up the large data files we are creating on the HP400 (it's used to run a DNA sequencer) I plugged the brand new MyBook into my XP system and cleaned out all the pre-installed WD files as soon as I got it, then plugged into my Linux system (2 completely separate machines). It failed to auto-mount with this error: Failed to read last sector (732558079): Invalid argument HINTS: Either the volume is a RAID/LDM but it wasn't setup yet, or it was not setup correctly (e.g. by not using mdadm --build ...), or a wrong device is tried to be mounted, or the partition table is corrupt (partition is smaller than NTFS), or the NTFS boot sector is corrupt (NTFS size is not valid). Failed to mount '/dev/sdc1': Invalid argument The device '/dev/sdc1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around? I've been searching in many forums and such but so far nothing I've tried has worked, including: Reformatting the HD (on the XP machine), NTFS format using 4096 byte allocation size (slow format, took hours) Reformatting the HD (on the XP machine), NTFS format using 512 byte allocation size (that the size used on the two ext3 internal drives; used "quick format" option this time) Adding a new directory: # mkdir /media/MyBook Then changing fstab to add line: /dev/sdc1 /media/MyBook ntfs-3g rw,umask=0000,defaults 0 0 Then: # mount /media/MyBook Which returned the same error each time I installed gparted, then opened the GUI program. It nicely displays the info on the two installed ext3 hard drives but that's all it shows Here's some info on other packages which were investigated, installed or updated in an attempt to mount this USB drive: ntfs-3g would not install, yum reported conflicts with fuse-ntfs-3g dkms-fuse is not installed dkms not installed fuse-ntfs-3g (updated to latest version) parted (updated to latest version) When I run # parted /dev/sdc Or # parted /dev/sdc1 I get this message: Warning: Device /dev/sdc has a logical sector size of 4096. Not all parts of GNU Parted support this at the moment, and the working code is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL. When I use "print" command in gparted I get Error: unable to open /dev/sdc (or /dev/sdc1) - unrecognized disk label I also tried fdisk # fdisk /dev/sdc And received this message: The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 45599. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other Oss (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) WARNING: The size of this disk is 3 TB DOS partition table format can not be used on drives for volumes larger than (2199023255040 bytes) for 512-byte sectors. Use parted(1) and GUID partition table format (GPT). Similar results when I used # fdisk /dev/sdc1 Except some number were different (ie number of cylinders report as 12180) What am I doing wrong? Is all this problem simply due to the size of the hard drive (3TB)? I also have a 1TB Seagate used to backup several other computers (all XP or Win7). Would I be better to use the Seagate on the linux and the WD on the windows systems?

UPS batteries, resolved
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 08 Mar '13

08 Mar '13

Well, whoever (or whoevers) recommended BatterySharks, thank you. I just got the order today, a bit sooner than I expected, and it was *exactly* what I'd asked for (HR batteries, all of them) and at their open market price, it was *low*, so it saved a non-defense sector of the US federal gov't a nice chunk o' change. Thanks. mark

recover lvm from pv
by Harold Pritchett 08 Mar '13

08 Mar '13

I have a vanilla CentOS 5.9 system. I have a pair of 2Tb sata drives with a RAID 1 array on them. This array contains an LVM physical volume. I have added these two drives to my system and now need to access the volume group on this physical volume. This volume group, vg0, contains 10 ext3 file systems and I need to get the data from them. What do I know: [root@mickey ~]# pvscan PV /dev/sda2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [465.66 GB / 0 free] PV /dev/sdb1 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [465.75 GB / 0 free] PV /dev/md125 lvm2 [1.81 TB] Total: 3 [2.72 TB] / in use: 2 [931.41 GB] / in no VG: 1 [1.81 TB] [root@mickey ~]# The first two contain the running system. The third one, /dev/md125 is my lvm physical volume. [root@mickey ~]# pvdisplay --------- snip first two pvs ------- "/dev/md125" is a new physical volume of "1.81 TB" --- NEW Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/md125 VG Name PV Size 1.81 TB Allocatable NO PE Size (KByte) 0 Total PE 0 Free PE 0 Allocated PE 0 PV UUID UB2Zs1-2bau-frhn-TdQb-hXNi-H6c1-OgA6XZ [root@mickey ~]# I have spent the last 8 hours or so searching the web for the next command(s) I need to enter to mount this vg and the 10 filesystems in it. What other information do I need which may be available? Help! Thanks Harold
