storage servers crashing, hair being pulled out!
by Gordon McLellan 21 Dec '09

21 Dec '09

I have a trio of servers that like to reboot during high disk / network IO operations. They don't appear to panic, as I have kernel.panic = 0 in sysctl.conf. The syslog just shows normal messages, like samba complaining about browse master and then just syslogd starting up. The machines seem to crash when I'm not near the console, usually when I'm trying to pull data off them to another machine running backups. But, they've also crashed trying to copy data off them to other servers (via iscsi). Also, they have crashed being on the receiving end of data via nfs. Two of the servers are linked using drbd and heartbeat, the third is stand alone. Centos 5.4 x86-64 is the flavor of linux on all of them, pretty much vanilla except for the drbd/iscsi stuff. I want to go after the motherboard manufactorer, since I'm more willing to suspect three mobos in a bad lot than three CPUs, especially since one cpu is completely different than the other two. The other variable is the two machines running drbd have promise raid cards in them. I also have the same raid card in my personal server at home. That server also has a nack of crashing during heavy disk IO to the raid volume. The entire OS doesn't crash, just the raid volume, and the only way to bring it back is a reboot. I'm really at a loss on what to do next... Any suggestions?

Hi list, after some discussion on #IRC on PowerPC I was waiting for some commitment on supported architectures in RHEL 6. As I just learnt, Itanic will be dumped, but there will be a PowerPC release: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/12/18/redhat_rhel6_itanium_dead/ Best, Timo (happy PowerPC enthusiast :)

College student printer for CentOS 5.4 x86_64?
by David McGuffey 21 Dec '09

21 Dec '09

Oldest son came back from college and wants a printer for his Dell laptop. I built it with CentOS 5.3 x86_64 several months ago and will upgrade it to 5.4 The Cannon printer he now has (bought with the laptop and Vista through the university book store), doesn't seem to have linux drivers. I built the machine with Vista and CentOS in dual-boot, so he could manage his iTunes and use the printer under Vista. He does almost all his college work under CentOS. Most of his papers are submitted electronically, but occasionally he has to print one. What would the community recommend? His needs are simple...mostly B&W papers. On rare occasions he needs to print a paper with color photos/graphs embedded. Not looking to spend a lot, just enough to satisfy the requirement. DaveM

Maybe with port aggravation it's possible. Can you give some more info about that guys.

Re: [CentOS] Optimizing CentOS for gigabit firewall
by sadas sadas 21 Dec '09

I will explain more deeply. I need to deploy a firewall(s) in front of web server farm because I need to do billing - I will use CentOS with iptables + ipset to store a list if my clients so when client doesn't pay his server's IP is out of the list and he can't access the web server. Second - I know that iptables is very heavy and it's not recommended to use it in gigabit firewall but I don't have a choice as far as I know only ipset works with iptables. I don't know can pf store 500 IPs in one list. Ipset is written for that purpose. I can't find information is there linux or BSD distribution with effective firewall that uses optimized algorithm to store hundreds of IPs and to forward huge traffic. Any idea? regards I'll second damn near everything nate said, and hopefully add a tidbit or two. If you're new to BSD, you may want to consider the pfsense project in the aforementioned active-active configuration. It gives you a nice, intuitive gui to manage your failover firewalls, if you insist on putting a firewall in front of your web servers. Better to secure the box, leave only the ports you need open on the public interfaces, and don't firewall them. Also, I'd strongly consider running your firewalls with no disk at all. A Live CD, CF card or USB Flash to boot off of, remote syslog and one less subsystem (disks) to buy/fail makes for some mighty cheap 1U servers. A single dual-core with core speeds above 3.0Ghz and 4GB of RAM is to pass Gb @ line rate - ethernet overhead. Truth be told, it's already being done on much less than that. You can also load balance your traffic, albiet somewhat primitively with it. If you really want massive throughput, consider toying around with extremely expensive 10G gear, size RAM appropriately, and see how PF performs under multi-processor, high-core speed. but if you're handling over a Gb of traffic and you can't split the application into multiple farms, that's the best move. Akamai, for instance, runs 10G to each rack, each rack has around 20-24 servers, and they run GB to the server. pfsense.org has extensive information about hardware requirements, features, and what you're looking to do. https://calomel.org/network_performance.html is an excellent BSD firewall performance site. One thing to note, you are claiming to want to deploy this as a passive bridge. You cannot do what you want to do running anything in bridge mode. The packets need to route somehow. Get a /29 from your colo provider and ask to have your existing block routed through it once you've tested it. Another option for a seamless failover, is to alias a different range of IP's to the server interfaces, put a /29 and whatever netblock you want to end up being your public IP block on the PFSense hardware. When you're convinced everything's working through rigorous testing, put a test domain up pointing to that block, modify virtualhost entries on the servers to respond to that domain with your production web site, and test some more. Once you're convinced that's working perfectly, make the changes in DNS to point your production domain at the IP's you want, and failover will happen with DNS convergence.

What > configurations I need to do to achieve very hight speeds and thousands of > packets? iptables makes a TERRIBLE firewall, use pf instead http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/index.html Also consider how your going to provide redundancy, if you have a web server farm you want to protect them with at least two firewalls, not one. http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/carp.html I haven't used CARP myself but did setup a pair of pf firewalls about 5 years ago in a large network in bridging mode, the layer 3 fault tolerance was provided by OSPF on the core switches, the firewalls were active-active(with pfsync) since they were layer 2 only. Maybe someday linux will fix the overly complex iptables system to something that is more manageable, not holding my breath though. If you want really high speed(say multi GbE) though you'll want/need to go with an appliance based solution. Also since your referring to a web server farm, it is perfectly acceptable to not use firewalls these days, if you have a good load balancer that serves the same role as a firewall in that it only passes traffic that you specifically configure it to pass. Also in high traffic environments the performance of load balancers destroys most firewalls, making investing in a high end firewall a very expensive proposition. I've worked for the better part of the last 10 years with companies who did not have firewalls in front of their web servers for this reason, it didn't make sense $ wise, because the benefit wasn't there, and the added complexity, and performance implications wasn't worth it either. Talk to most load balancing companies and they'll tell you this themselves. nate

Supsend/hibernate on Samsung NC10
by Mathieu Baudier 20 Dec '09

20 Dec '09

Hi, I cannot have suspend and hibernate working on a Samsung NC10 (netbook) running CentOS 5.4 i386. When I try suspending/hibernating the screen becomes black (with a few logs, like "shrinking memory" for hibernate) and then the computer hangs and I have to force a shutdown with the power button. This wiki page seems to say that it should work out of the box: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Samsung/NC10 I tried to add the kernel arguments described here, to no avail: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2007-June/040633.html Anyhow the problems doesn't seem to be the resume but rather getting into the suspended/hibernated state. When I log after a failed attempt, GNOME shows a popup saying that apparently we failed to recover from a suspend/hibernate state and that this may be a driver problem. A few more information about my settings which may be useful: - the root filesystem is installed on an LVM - I use the NetworkManager and not the network service - I disabled bluetooth (in order to remove all unused devices that may impact this problem) - [mbaudier@localhost ~]$ lshal | grep suspen org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.method_execpaths = {'hal-system-power-suspend', 'hal-system-power-suspend-clear-error', 'hal-system-power-hibernate', 'hal-system-power-hibernate-clear-error', 'hal-system-power-shutdown', 'hal-system-power-reboot', 'hal-system-power-set-power-save'} (string list) power_management.can_suspend_to_disk = true (bool) power_management.can_suspend_to_ram = true (bool) power_management.can_suspend = true (bool) Thanks in advance if somebody can tell me how I can analyse further / solve this. Cheers, Mathieu

mdadm help
by James Bensley 20 Dec '09

20 Dec '09

Hey List, So I had a 4 drive software RAID 5 set up consisting of /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdc1, /dev/sdd1 and /dev/sde1. I reinstalled my OS and after the reinstall I made the mistake of re-assembling the array incorrectly by typing "sudo mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sde" in a moment of stupidity. Obviously this didn't work and the array wouldn't mount and after a short period I realised my mistake and re-issuing the same command but specifying each drive partition (sdb1, sdc1 etc) instead of the drives (sdb, sdc etc) meant the raid would assembled and mount just dandy. My problem is that when I issue "sudo mdadm -E --scan" I get the following results: ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid5 num-devices=4 UUID=fde94900:3f3f3bf6:e368bf24:bd0fce41 ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid5 num-devices=4 UUID=3a2f1919:52f73b40:e368bf24:bd0fce41 These entries aren't in mdadm.conf but mdadm keeps picking up my first mistake and tries to make a raid out of my four drives and not the four partitions (the bottom line is the four UUIDs for the partitions on each drive, the top line is the four UUID for the drives). So now every time I restart the machine, the array isn't mounted because mdadm (I guess) doesn't know what to do as it has two sets of devices defined as /dev/md0. I can issues "sudo mdadm --stop /dev/md0" and "sudo mdadm --remove /dev/md0" and then re-assemble specifying the four partitions and carry on as normal but I can't work out how to tell mdadm to "forget" about the the top line of those results, if that makes any sence? I have removed the entries from fstab and from mdadm.conf so when I boot up the machine doesn't automatically try and mount the incorrect device but I still can't remove the top line from the results of "mdadm -E --scan" no matter what I do. I have rebooted and issued the command "sudo mdadm --assemble /dev/md1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1" and I can mount my array as normal but I was hoping that now there wouldn't be a clash in the results of "sudo mdadm -E --scan" (which there isn't, the second lines says "/dev/md1"), meaning that after a reboot the array would mount properly but that isn't the case. It is still trying to assemble the top line. Does anyone have any idea how I can rectify this? Thanks for reading. -- Regards, James ;) Ted Turner - "Sports is like a war without the killing." - http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/t/ted_turner.html

Removable drive configuration
by Bob McConnell 20 Dec '09

20 Dec '09

I have a box running CentOS 5.3 with two Dataport removable drive bays installed on the second IDE interface (/dev/hdc and hdd). I want to configure it so I can plug in and mount various drives at different times, including different size drives. So far it will only recognize the first drive I plug in, and only if I boot the box after inserting the drive. Is there any way to set it up so I can mount different size drives freely without having to reboot each time? Thank you, Bob McConnell N2SPP

Evolution search menu
by Frank Cox 20 Dec '09

20 Dec '09

When I switched my main desktop computer from Fedora to Centos, I moved my email from Sylpheed to Evolution. (Reason: Sylpheed for Centos doesn't boldface unread messages in the message list box and newer Sylpheed versions won't compile on Centos.) Evolution works fine, but I can't figure out how to get rid of the "previous/next" buttons that appear at the bottom of the Evolution window after I do a search. Detail: I enter a search term in the "Search" box over the message list. Two buttons "previous" and "next", plus a "match case" checkbox and "Matches: X" (where X is the number of matches found in the message) appear at the bottom of the Evolution window, just below the message text. That bar is fine while I'm doing the searching, but the only way I can get rid of that after I complete my search is to exit and re-load Evolution. Is there another way to get rid of it? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

Sorry, I think I am missing something. What is the rpm/package called? So is it i386 installed on x8664, or what? Google's website still claims it requires a 32 bit OS.

yum quit working in CentOS 5.4 x86_64
by David McGuffey 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

Have been running 5.4 x86_64 for a couple of months now. Every once in a while, I would get a notice that updates were available. It appears that about 3 weeks ago, yum stopped notifying me of updates. Over that time, I've manually done a 'yum update' from a command line, with an output that there are no updates. I know this cannot be true, because I watch the 'centOS-announce Digest' messages come through and see that there are updates for my installation. I tried 'yum clean all' followed by another 'yum update' and still no updates are listed as available. I have the priorities plugin installed and here is the output I get: [root@desk ~]# yum update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * addons: ftp.lug.udel.edu * base: mirror.rackspace.com * centosplus: mirrors.netdna.com * extras: ftp.lug.udel.edu * rpmforge: fr2.rpmfind.net * updates: mirrors.adams.net 598 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Setting up Update Process No Packages marked for Update [root@desk ~]# Here is the contents of CentOS-Base.repo: [root@desk yum.repos.d]# cat CentOS-Base.repo # CentOS-Base.repo # # The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the # update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and # geographically close to the client.

NIS failover

We just updated our configuratiosn to have multiple NIS servers, when we initiated a test of client failover, we were disapointed. It seemed that the only way to get a filaover was to /etc/init.d/ypbind restart.

mountd and statd at specific ports - nfs firewall
by Carlos Santana 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

Hi, I am configuring firewall for NFS. I see that statd and mountd start at random port. Is there any way to force it to start at specific port each time. The '-p ' option would work, but how do I configure it to start at specific port number each time. I mean where do statd and mountd look for default configuration options? Any clues? - CS.

Security advice, please
by Anne Wilson 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

I run chkrootkit daily. For the first time I've got reports of a problem - Checking `bindshell'... INFECTED (PORTS: 1008) The page http://fatpenguinblog.com/scott-rippee/checking-bindshell-infected- ports-1008/ suggests that this might be a false positive, so I ran 'netstat - tanup' but unlike the report, it wasn't famd on the port. It was tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1008 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3797/rpc.mountd It looks as though certain services are marked as suspicious when they grab port 1008. I tried to find how to restart the service, but without success, but a reboot put rpc.mountd onto another port, and chkrootkit no longer reports a problem. (I had rebooted last evening after an update including a kernel version.) I think that it really was a false alarm, but I would really like to know how I could restart that service without rebooting. system-config-services didn't do the trick, and I simply didn't know what else to try. In case I meet this again, can you please advise me? Anne -- KDE Community Working Group New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org

i386 and x86_64 packages on an 64bit system after fresh install - why?
by Götz Reinicke - IT-Koordinator 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

Hi, I recetly set up a brand new fres Centos 5.4 64 bit system and found a lot of i386 packages installed along with the x86_64 packages. My questions: Why is this done? May I remove the i386 packages? (rpm -e ....) I wanted to update today the installed packages and do get some dep messages: --> Finished Dependency Resolution glibc-2.5-42.i686 from installed has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.5-42 is needed by package glibc-2.5-42.i686 (installed) Error: Missing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.5-42 is needed by package glibc-2.5-42.i686 (installed) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: package-cleanup --problems package-cleanup --dupes rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

Help With Glade and C5 64-bit?
by Scott Ehrlich 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

I have a user with C5.4 64-bit, fully updated, performed a yum install glade, it claimed to have installed everything, but we cannot get it to run. Neither whereis nor locate revleal an executable. We obtained the latest glade source from the project's web site, attempted to configure it, until it complained of needed dependencies, namely gtk+ (newer than what was on the system). So I got the newest source from the gtk project web site, tried to compile it, until it complained of at least needing a newer glib. So I grabbed the newest glib, compiled and installed, ran ldd, and tried gtk+ source compile again. I still claimed glib wasn't new enough. What am I missing? I followed the glade install notes as best I could. Thanks for any help/insight. If need be, I'll look for a glade forum to post to, but since this _is_ Centos 5 spedific for the machine I'm working on, I felt it appropriate to ping this list first. Thanks. Scott

Silly question x64 vs i386
by Scot P. Floess 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

I have a really silly question... but just want to ask... I have one box on my home network that is x86_64 capable... My other boxes are all i386. As this x86_64 machine can, at most, house 4 GB of RAM (currently only has 1 GB) - is there any advantage to my running x86_64 on that machine instead of i386... Long story as to why I am asking - but before I go off and moveit down to i386 - just wanted some opinions :) Scot P.

Problems with nss_ldap - where to start?
by Peter Serwe 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

I've been unsuccessfully trying to get nss_ldap to work. I've chased down hundreds of google searches over the last 3 days, and I can't seem to get a centos system to authenticate against ldap. Every daemon on the system is running into the same problem: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable sshd, nscd, httpd, you name it.. slapd is clearly running, telnet localhost 389 actually connects me to it. I've run authconfig, /etc/sysconfig/authconfig agrees. I'm at a complete and utter loss. I've followed every how-to out there, RH, Openldap, Debian, FreeBSD I can verify ldap is working, I can't seem to get any PAM applications to use it.

acpi for Intel p45 chipset (C2Duo)
by Mr. X 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

Hello, First time I install Centos (5.4) on a consumer Intel Motherboard. I've done 5+ AMD (am2 form factor) installs. The MB is Gigabyte ep45-ud3r with a CPU:Intel LGA 775 E7600 wolfdale I cracked the lm_sensors nut with 2 modules and lm_sensors from elrepo. The modules were kmod-coretemp kmod-it87 Now I'm trying to get cpuspeed to behave, or at least understand what it's doing. Here's my bios objects ------------ snip dmesg--------- $sudo dmesg | grep state ACPI: CPU0 (power states: C1[C1] C2[C2] C3[C3]) ACPI: Processor [CPU0] (supports 8 throttling states) ACPI: CPU1 (power states: C1[C1] C2[C2] C3[C3]) ACPI: Processor [CPU1] (supports 8 throttling states) ---------- unsnip ---------- In the advanced bios menu I enabled all the switches for CPU state management. If not enabled there is no acpi. My CPU is OC'ed to 3.74 Ghz The Intel state management hands it off to the kernel with max frequency of 2.8Ghz but bogoMips is unchanged and reflects OC'ed value. There are supposed to be 8 throttling states, but acpi-cpufreq (driver) only uses 3 states (1.6 Ghz - 2.8 Ghz). Has anyone found another driver to work better? I tried speedstep-centrino but it refuses to load. There is also p4-clockmod too, but I had doubts about it. Is this the best I can do? So far benchmarks are very good and the acpi power management does not hurt them. -- Mark

Munin issue
by Joseph L. Casale 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

Hey Guys, I am trying to wrap some loose ends up before we close tomorrow and have one last thing. I have been asked to monitor tunnel bandwidth for vpn clients over the holidays and whipped up a quick Munin plugin to do this. It works well but one problem is that when a client disconnects, the plugin stops submitting graph data for it, so the png's don't show the user anymore, kinda hard to see what's been done over the time period they "were" connected. How can I tell Munin to retain the data it has seen? I would rather this approach then hardcode the users in, as I have to manually maintain that list then... Thanks! jlc

NTP

Hi folks I have a Centos 5.3. I'm wondering how can I make this linux box to act as a time server for my small network. I just need this Centos PC act as a time reference for the other PCs so they can keep the time exact the same as the Centos server. Don;t need to syncronize the server with tyhe internet, just keep my local network with the same time in all the PC. Thanks in advance David

Image conversion with ImageMagick doesn't work on CentOS, but it works fine on Debian Lenny.
by Peter Serwe 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

I recently came across the need to convert jpg images with IM, did a standard install of "yum -y install ImageMagick" and found that images converted with CentOS's base port of IM would actually corrupt the images, yet using the same (albiet different version, different distro) software didn't corrupt the images at all. By corrupted, I mean, the bottom portion of the image under *some* webservers looked completely wrong, and had strange checkering of the image in stripes across the bottom. At the time I had this problem, I took the issue to IM's forum, to no avail. I ended up just using it on a Debian machine instead. Peter -- Peter Serwe http://truthlightway.blogspot.com/

Red Hat commercial support for CentOS/Fedora

Someone told me that if you have a CentOS or Fedora server, you can pay a Red Hat yearly fee and get them to support it (because the environments are so similar). Can anyone here substantiate this claim?

OT: Google Earth - How to uninstall, before installing newest version?
by Lanny Marcus 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

Desktop is CentOS 5.4 (32 bit). I have Google Earth version 4.2.205.5730 (13NOV2007 build date) installed. I have checkinstall (spelling?) installed, but am not sure if that was installed before or after Google Earth was installed. I have the Google Repository installed, but apparently Google Earth cannot be updated via yum and probably it was not installed via yum. Question: What is the best way for me to uninstall this version of Google Earth, completely, before I install the newest version? (This also applies to removing Skype, which I am certain was not installed via yum, before I install the static version of Skype, that was recently recommended on the list). TIA and Happy Holidays!

Subversion server: v1.4 (centos) vs. v1.6 (rpmforge)
by Mathieu Baudier 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

Hi, I'm planning to upgrade an old public/internal development infrastructure and will use CentOS 5.4 x86_64 as basis. One of the critical server is Subversion (as an Apache httpd module). We currently use Subversion v1.4 on the server and v1.6 on our clients. While I was very happy with the v1.4 server over the years, we now sometimes have weird issues which seem related to compatibility with the v1.6 clients (typically working copy depth related). I also want to take the chance of this major overhaul of our infrastructure (and related testing etc.) to upgrade the various components and I'll be happy to benefit from Subversion improvements on the server side as well (especially if it then the version in production for another few years). The Subversion version in CentOS 5.4 is v1.4, whereas RPMForge provides v1.6. I use the RPMForge version as my client on the desktop. - Has anyone of you experience running Subversion servers on CentOS? - Would you in general consider as less secure / safe / stable to use RPMForge packages for such critical tasks? Thanks in advance for your thoughts! Mathieu

Apache + auth_mod_kerb + Active Directory = SSO
by James Bensley 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

Hey List, I have been setting up SSO on our Intranet Apache server. All seems well, I think I have just about cracked it but it seems a little rough around the edges; I enabled auth_mod_kerb, and created a test directory in my web root (/secure) and added a directory directive under the httpd.conf, I created a user in Active Ditectory, used ktpass.exe to map the user to the service principal and put the key tab on the Apache server and all seems well. I am testing this with FireFox and Internet Explorer (Both on Windows XP Pro SP3 Client). FireFox works only with the FQDN of the Intranet server (and not just http://hostname/secure, this gives an authentication error), and only with our domain name set in "network.negotiate-auth.delegation-uris" and in "network.negotate-auth.trusted-uris". Internet Explorer however only works with http://hostname/secure and not f.q.d.n/secure? (Integrate with Windows Authentication IS enabled). Obviously as this point the reason I am posting here is because I am trying to eliminate the reasons for this. If it is a client side problem I need to seeks some more savvy IE/Windows users maybe but I am posting here to enquire if anyone has any thoughts about it possibly being DNS related or some sort of server misconfiguration? uname -a Linux hades.nr5project.co.uk 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 09:19:18 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Apache/2.2.11 (Unix) mod_auth_kerb/5.4 DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.11 OpenSSL/0.9.8k PHP/5.2.9 mod_apreq2-20051231/2.6.0 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.0 Thanks for reading. -- Regards, James ;) Charles de Gaulle - "The better I get to know men, the more I find myself loving dogs." - http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/c/charles_de_gaulle.html

LVM, usb drives, Active Directory
by Scott Ehrlich 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

I have a client with a handful of USB drives connected to a CentOS box. I am charged with binding the USB drives together into a single LVM for a cheap storage data pool (10 x 1 TB usb drives = 10 TB cheap storage in a single mount point). The next fun piece is how to incorporate that storage space into an existing Active Directory structure to apply AD acls for limited access. I'd rather not use Samba, as that is its own infrastructure and maintains its own credentials database. What are my best options? Thanks. Scott

Canon Printer Woe
by Colin Coles 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

Hi, Has anyone had any success using a Canon LBP5300 with CentOS or any other RH type os for that matter, using the rpms and intructions downloaded from the Canon website? I have it working on XP and OS X both via USB and network but am having no success with either on CentOS 5.4 . Print jobs seem to be processed correctly by CUPS but the printer doesn't respond at all and the jobs show up as completed in the CUPS job list. I do not know how to test the ccpd daemon but it seems to be running. Any pointers greatly appreciated. Cheers, Colin.

bnx2 losing connectivity
by nate 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

Hoping someone else has seen this before. I have a few dozen Dell R610 systems with CentOS 5.2 that are using kernels from 5.3 and 5.4 (2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 & 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5), that at random lose layer 2 network connectivity either partially or totally. Running tcpdump on the interface reveals only ARP broadcasts, no responses. Switch reports no packets being received on the interface. Systems can run for days/weeks or even months without an issue then drop off the network. At first I thought it was the Dell switches which we had lots of problems with but it has happened on two other brands of switches as well(Cisco and Extreme), so I no longer believe it's the switch but rather the systems. The workaround is to restart the network on the system. I have even configured the bonding driver to do ARP requests and fail over to the backup link in the event that fails but wasn't successful there either as both links can go down, and/or the system can go into "degraded" state where it can reach some systems but not others. I have ESXi systems running on the same hardware and to-date have not seen any of them drop off the same way. System can be under high traffic load at the time or completely idle, it doesn't seem to make a difference. No log entries indicating what might be going on. I have a case open with Dell but am not expecting a whole lot from them, maybe I'll get lucky though. They asked me to upgrade the NIC firmware which I did on a batch of systems to no avail(the release notes for the firmware said nothing about any fixes that sounded like my issue). Driver versions: ESXi (vSphere): Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Driver bnx2 v1.6.9 (December 8, 2007) Most linux systems(5.3 kernel): Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Driver bnx2 v1.7.9-1 (July 18, 2008) Some linux systems(5.4 kernel): Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Driver bnx2 v1.9.3 (March 17, 2009) Happens across at least a dozen systems spread over 4 data centers. Never seen this sort of behavior before in the hundreds and hundreds of systems I've run. These systems are all new, the R610 hardware was released around May 2009, and we've been having issues since day 1, but only recently have been able to rule the switches out as the cause. The latest driver on Broadcom's site is 1.9.20b which seems odd since CentOS 5.4 seems to come with 1.9.3(the date on the Broadcom site is more recent than the date on the linux kernel driver in 5.4) Most of the fixes in the recent driver versions seem to focus around iSCSI, which I'm not using. lspci says: 02:00.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 20) Subsystem: Dell Unknown device 0236 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 114 Memory at dc000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32M] Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [50] Vital Product Data Capabilities: [58] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit+ Queue=0/4 Enable- Capabilities: [a0] MSI-X: Enable- Mask- TabSize=9 Capabilities: [ac] Express Endpoint IRQ 0 Capabilities: [100] Device Serial Number c9-dc-93-fe-ff-9b-21-00 Capabilities: [110] Advanced Error Reporting Capabilities: [150] Power Budgeting Capabilities: [160] Virtual Channel I suppose I could go build the latest driver from their site and see how it goes.. thanks nate

Is ext4 safe for a production server?
by Miguel Medalha 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

I am about to install a new server running CentOS 5.4. The server will contain pretty critical data that we can't afford to corrupt. I would like to benefit from the extra speed and features of a ext4 filesystem but I don't have any experience with it. Is there some member of the list who can enlighten me on whether ext4 is mature enough to be used on a production server without too much risk? Thank you!

OT: GNOME Panel Menu - Notification Area 2.16.1- operator error
by Lanny Marcus 15 Dec '09

15 Dec '09

Apparently I clicked wrong this morning and now instead of the menu (panel) with "Applications, Places, System", etc. being on the right side of my screen, it is in the middle of the screen, vertically, from the top. When I click in a vacant place in that menu, the "Properties" option is no longer there, but I was able to get into "Properties" (not sure how I was able to do that) and it still shows that the menu should be on the Right side of my screen. I restarted the box, but still have this minor, but annoying problem. This is a CentOS 5.4 (32 bit) Desktop. How can I get this GNOME Panel Menu back on the right side of the screen? TIA!

Home LAN server - dnsmasq
by M. Milanuk 15 Dec '09

15 Dec '09

Hello all, I'm testing a home LAN server inside Virtualbox - figured it'd be easier to build (and fix) things inside a virtual sandbox first, and then migrate over to a physical install once I have most of the kinks worked out. The host OS is Windows Vista; the guest OS will be various Linux distributions for education/entertainment purposes. First, a little explanation on the 'lay of the land': The first virtual machine is a gateway/router box running CentOS 5.4. The 'outward' facing NIC is eth0, and it picks up an IP through the NAT interface provided by Virtualbox. That part seems to be working fine at the moment. The VM has CentOS 5.4 installed, downloaded and installed updates, and can browse the web, etc. The 'internal' network adapter (eth1) is connected to a virtual LAN 'intnet' that is otherwise not accessible from the 'outside' world at this point. It has a static IP assigned (10.0.0.1/255.255.255.0), and dnsmasq is running. Here is the contents of /etc/dnsmasq.conf: domain-needed bogus-priv filterwin2k except-interface=eth0 dhcp-range=10.0.0.50,10.0.0.100,1h dhcp-host=asmodean dhcp-host=demandred dhcp-host=lanfear dhcp-authoritative conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d and here is the contents of /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost ::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6 10.0.0.1 rahvin.local rahvin 10.0.0.2 asmodean.local asmodean 10.0.0.3 demandred.local demandred 10.0.0.4 lanfear.local lanfear What I *want* to happen is to be able to give a fixed dhcp lease to a client that sends a particular name from /etc/hosts - that way I just have to maintain /etc/hosts on the gateway/router box for local DNS, and I don't have to fiddle around finding and recording and entering the MAC addresses for each network card on each machine (actually easier on a 'virtual' lan than in real life, but still a minor PITA). I got the idea from this clause in the original dnsmasq.conf file: # Enable the address given for "judge" in /etc/hosts # to be given to a machine presenting the name "judge" when # it asks for a DHCP lease. #dhcp-host=judge The specific problem I'm having is that of the virtual 'clients', only one of them is getting assigned an IP address from the list in /etc/hosts. 'asmodean', running Ubuntu 9.10 gets its IP address of 10.0.0.2 as planned. The other two, demandred (running F12+LXDE) and lanfear (running Debian 5.03 Lenny), get randomly assinged IP addresses from the pool defined in dnsmasq.conf (10.0.0.50-10.0.0.100) like one would normally expect for a *dynamically* assigned lease. Except I wanted them to get fixed leases based on /etc/hosts. I've looked at most everything I can think of on both hosts... it doesn't seem to much matter if I set the hostname to 'demandred.local' or just 'demandred'. I'm not sure how to tell if the clients are sending that information in their requests? Any other ideas or suggestions? I realize the problem may not be strictly with the CentOS box, but any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA, Monte

Samba, ADS & Winbind Separator on CentOS 5.4
by Guy Boisvert 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

Hi! I have a little problem with Samba. I have an ADS integrated CentOS 5.4 server. I had frequent access problem when M$ users create directories and files. So i thought to force users' persmissions by way of the "force user" parameter in smb.conf. First problem is that the forced users i want to apply are ADS users and named like "MYDOMAIN#Joe" in passwd file. When i use this name in smb.conf, i get this error when i run testparm: "ERROR: the 'winbind separator' parameter must be a single character.", even if i used "winbind separator =#". If i use "winbind separator =\" and name my users like "MYDOMAIN\Joe" in smb.conf, i have no error but users cannot access the share. Actually, i know that "#" is sometimes used for comments on the config file and "\" is sometimes used to escape characters. Now, what should i do to fix the problem? Change Winbind config to use another character? Use some kind of escaped character in smb.conf? I'm a little lost! Thanks! Guy Boisvert, ing. IngTegration inc.

Device enumeration during kickstart
by lhecking＠users.sourceforge.net 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

By default, a kickstart installation will spread the configured partitions over all disks that are found, and the only way around that is to use --ondisk or ignoredisk. But I was wondering how reliable this method is. E.g. if there are four SATA ports on the system board, can I blindly assume that port one will always correspond to sda, port two to sdb, and so on? Can I assume that a second disk added to a one-disk system will always show up as sdb, and sda will remain sda?

486 custom kernel
by Jerry Geis 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

Hi all, Is it possible to take the 686 CentOS 5, install that in virtual machine, install a custom kernel that is the 486 flavor, take that image and put it on a 8G CF card - insert that into a small form factor 486 class machine and have that work? I am hoping the extra instructions in a 686 (MMX, SEE etc) are not used by any libraries that I would be using (just standard stuff) and the new 486 compiled kernel would not be using those instructions either. Can this possible work? I am hoping to not use debian i386 basically. Thanks, Jerry

Firewall for virtual machines
by MHR 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

I realize I'm not getting a lot of questions answered here lately, and I'm going to presume that this is for legitimate reasons (i.e., people don't know or are too busy to think about it), not because they seem stupid (if they do, please tell me, on the list or privately). I run Windows as a VMWare guest on top of my CentOS host, and I generally have not used a firewall on the guest. This is partly because I only run it rarely, and it seems like a waste when it's running on a host that has its own, pretty effective firewall, but today I began to wonder - would it be a bad idea (or a complete waste) to use a firewall, like ZoneAlarm, on my Windows guest OS? Opinions welcome. Thanks. mhr

XFS and LVM2 (possibly in the scenario of snapshots)
by Timo Schoeler 13 Dec '09

13 Dec '09

Hi list, during the last days there was a discussion going on about the stability of XFS; though I myself used XFS heavily and didn't run into issues yet, I'd like to ask something *before* we create our next generation data storage backend... Les Mikesell wrote in [0] about issues in the combination of XFS and LVM -- however, it was being discussed in context of using 32bit kernels. What I specifically need is to run XFS (or something similar, I am *not* forced to use XFS, but it was my preference for some years now, and I didn't have any issues with it yet) on top of LVM to be able to create snapshots. We're talking about several file systems of a size at about 4TiByte each. On another place [1] I read that there were issues with that. Can anyone shed some light on this? Would be very appreciated.

CentOS 5.4 - Problem with Enumeration of NICs
by Miguel Medalha 13 Dec '09

13 Dec '09

I just made a new CentOS 5.4 installation. The machine has an Intel 10/100 and an Intel GB on board, and a Broadcom GB card on a PCI-X (64 bit) slot. After the install finished, I noticed that the order and naming of the Ethernet interfaces is totally screwed up. Under Network Manager, the Intel GB card shows the MAC address of the Broadcom and vice-versa. As a consequence, none of them works. When I push the Probe button, they show each other's MAC Adress. The names of the devices do not correspond to the names of the interfaces. If I correct the problem by manually editing the configuration files, they MAY get wrong again upon reboot. Only the 10/100 interface stays put. After a remote reboot for kernel update, I just lost connection with the machine, so I guess it happened again. This NEVER happened with CentOS 5.2 or 5.3 on the same machine. I want to manually assign a ID to the cards and let them keep it forever. Will the manual entry of the HWADDR=/ /parameter in the ifcfg-eth<x> files fix this for good or will it be overrided by some other component of the OS? Thank you.

moving from live partitions to raid1 on an eserver
by David Milholen 13 Dec '09

13 Dec '09

I have a qtp (qmail toaster plus) machine on an ibm 326 eserver that has 2 sata 250GB drives. The problem I have is that when the Os was installed I thought I had hardware raid on but to my avail the Os assumed to drives an installed accordingly. Here is what df has for the partitions. # df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sdb1 240362656 17843040 210309816 8% / /dev/sda1 101086 11843 84024 13% /boot none 2047316 0 2047316 0% /dev/shm I need a raid in place on this machine. This is a live machine but I do have a lab machine to break. I really need to move this in a live fashion without losing the data of course I have complete backups to start a new if need be but it would be nice to be able to make the change and have raid1 in place to have a some better redundancy. I guess what I am asking what are the basic steps and what warnings to look for? Thanks --Dave

How do I link to custom libs without affecting system libs (LD_LIBRARY_PATH)
by Chris Morley 12 Dec '09

12 Dec '09

Hi, i am getting an issue with rtorrent that is related to my curl libaries. In summary it requires a later curl libary than CentOS 5.4 uses for its system files (CentOS uses curl libs version 7.15.5, rtorrent requires 7.19.2 or greater). To get around this I would like to download the latest curl version and compile and link to rtorrent without affecting system files. How can i statically link the latest Curl libs to my rtorrent build? I belive its to do with LD_LIBRARY_PATH but i am not sure howto proceed: wget http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.19.7.tar.gz cd curl-7.19.7./configuremakemake install The above make install would overwrite or upgrade the existing curl, worried about breaking existing system!

ntop from rpmforge
by Ausmus, Matt 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

I don't know why I haven't signed up for this list before since we use CentOS all over the place. The list is very useful and it is good for me to participate and "give back" to the community. Anywho, I wanted to post this response to a thread that was created back in November 2008 about the ntop daemon failing to start. I'm currently setting up ntop as a NetFlow & SFlow collector and came across the issue. A quick refresher, the init script for ntop has an issue where it can't parse the ntop.conf file correctly if switches are entered before the "@/etc/ntop.conf". The suggested work around was to move the "-d -L" switches from in front of the "@/etc/ntop.conf" and put them behind it. This is definitely the fix. There is a caveat to that and I haven't found anyone that has mentioned it so I thought I would. According to the documentation, if you add the switches after the "@/etc/ntop.conf" those will override the configurations in the ntop.conf file. While this isn't an issue with the "-d" option, if you decide to use a custom syslog level and add it to the conf file, the "-L" switch after the conf file will override your custom log facility. In my init file I left the "-d" but removed the "-L" expecting me to put my own syslog entry in the conf file. ____________________________ Matt Ausmus Network Administrator Chapman University 635 West Palm Street Orange, CA 92868 (714)628-2738 mausmus(a)chapman.edu <mailto:mausmus@chapman.edu> "Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on." - Churchill's Commentary on Man

Hi all, I have a PowerEdge 1950 that was acting weird. Network connectivity was only performing at a quarter of what was expected (if that). Even if I scp'd something to localhost it would perform poorly. Rather than fight with it, I just decided to reload it. It was running 5.3, and it is now running 5.4. However, when I go to boot it gets stuck at starting udev. If I let it sit long enough it will then give me errors with something along the lines of: Dazed and confused, but trying to continue Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 00 Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled? Wondering if anyone has an idea.. Thanks, Ryan

Problem mounting CIFS shares with credential file after SAMBA update

I remember time ago was an issue with the format of credentials file (something about a LF at the end or something else) I've checked the file, added spaces between "=", added a line at the end, between username and passwd... but it doesn't work, i always get an error like (when i do mount -a): mount error 13 = Permission denied Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) (this is repeated for every CIFS share mounted in fstab) If i mount it "by hand" it works fine: # mount -tcifs -ousername=xxxx //192.168.0.100/xxxxx /media/xxxxx Password: And then, if i do a mount -a then works!

I just created a 4 drive mdadm --level=raid10 on a centos 4.8-ish system here, and shortly thereafter remembreed I hadn't updated it in a while, so i ran yum update... while installing/updating stuff, got these errors: Installing: kernel ####################### [14/69] raid level raid10 (in /proc/mdstat) not recognized ... Installing: kernel-smp ####################### [19/69] raid level raid10 (in /proc/mdstat) not recognized is this a problem? the raid10 'seems' to work....

Migrating to RAID
by Matt 11 Dec '09

I have CentOS 4.x installed on a single 500GB SATA drive. Drive is about 10 percent used. I would like to migrate to software RAID 5 without reinstalling the OS. Was thinking 3 500GB drives. Is that possible or must I reinstall? Matt

An error message I don't recognize
by Bob McConnell 10 Dec '09

I have recently been told I will have to maintain some CentOS servers at work. Since I have only been using Slackware for the last 16 years, I decided to install CentOS on one of my servers at home to get an idea of the differences. I installed CentOS 5.4 from CD with no problems, did a yum update, set up a couple of samba shares and started to copy over some files from one of my other servers. Everything looks ok, but I keep seeing this message on the active console. I have no idea where it comes from nor what it means. type=1400 audit(1260446462.444:9): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=2200 comm="smbd" path="/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc" dev=binfmt_misc ino=4348 scontext=root:system_r:smbd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:binfmt_misc_fs_t:s0 tclass=dir What is it, what is triggering it and how do I fix it? Thanks, Bob McConnell N2SPP
