Problem upgrading CentOS 4.4 installation
by Jens Ahlin 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

Hi all, I'm trying to upgrade a Dell Inspiron 5000e laptop with CentOS 4.4 installed. When dependencies is checked I receive error "Cannot unmount CD /mnt/sources...". I have CD media and I have tried both text and graphical installer. Anyone have a clue ? Maybe the spec for this laptop is to weak and I must stick with my 4.4 installation... 700Mhz 512Mb ram. When I use the graphical installer, the X server starts but does not display correctly. It is possible to use but you have to guess what and where to click sometimes. Jens

CentOS 5 gotchas
by Jim Perrin 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

As some folks on irc have pointed out, and has been covered a bit in the beta discussions: There is no longer a 'Minimal' install option for centos5 in anaconda, however if you choose 'Customize Now' and uncheck all the selections, you will get a minimal install that only requires disk1, and weighs in at around 594MB. With kickstart it is possible to further reduce the package set. Also, for folks who are used to using vga=foo type settings as kernel options, support for this appears spotty on the initial release, and this is an upstream issue as well. Bugs have been filed in the appropriate place. For now, the workaround for some folks is to remove the 'rhgb quiet' kernel options. For others, no amount of vga= trickery seems to work. YMMV. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. George Orwell

A working SIP Phone for Centos44?
by Theo Band 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

I tried numerous but most of them just don't work. They fail on the quality of the microphone. I tried two that support alsa. Kphone does, but dtmf (the numbers) are not recognized by Asterisk :-( I tried X-lite, but that has really terrible voice quality (mic). I tried Sflphone (has alsa support) and that worked on FC4 (not on FC3) and it does not work on Centos44 either: [root@raaf ~]# rpm -i sflphone-qt-0.6.2-1.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.4) is needed by sflphone-qt-0.6.2-1.i386 sflphoned is needed by sflphone-qt-0.6.2-1.i386 yum provides libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.i386 3.4.6-3.1 installed Matched from: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 [root@raaf ~]# ll /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Mar 9 05:56 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 -> libstdc++.so.6.0.3 I'm lost. It complains about something missing that is installed?? I try to find a softphone that works with Asterisk and Centos44, does anyone has a good suggestion or is it better to buy a hardphone? Thanks, Theo

Read performance on software RAID1?
by WipeOut 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

Hi, Since the data is available in two places on a RAID1 array does the code in any way make use of that for improved performance by reading (different) data form both disks at the same time? Or is the one disk simply a slave that just receives copies of the data and is never really read from at all? Thanks

NVidia Quadro4 200/400 NVS CentoOS 4.4
by David A. Woyciesjes 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

I've put a Nvidia Quadro card in my machine. It was first detected as Quadro4 200/400 NVS. I have the pigtail for dual monitors. I've tried tweaking the xorg file to get it working, to no avail. So I then downloaded the 9631 version driver from Nvidia. The readme for the newer files said that they didn't support this card. I run the installer, it builds the module, but gets stopped at "-1 Invalid module format" Now, what to do? -- --- David Woyciesjes

CentOS 4.4 LiveCD instructions
by Andy Allen 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

I'm upgrading my current RedHat9 installation to CentOS 4.4, so decided to buy the 4.4 LiveCD (rather than downloading and burning an ISO). I thought the LiveCD was simply a 'reduced' version and that I could install from it, but I find I don't actually know what to do with it and can't find any relatively simple instructions (I'm a bit of a newbie to linux but think it's great!). Any advice gratefully received - thanks. Andy

CentOS 5 64-bits support (desktop environment)
by Leonardo Pinheiro 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

Hello, Does CentOS 5 use a better approach to 64-bits and 32-bits packages existing on the same machine? How is Upstream package selection comparing 32-bits and 64-bits editions? Should we expect third-party repositories (mainly rpmforge) to better support 64-bits packages? I want to figure out if I should use CentOS/RHEL 5 x86_64 in desktop environment.

bonding
by Scott McClanahan 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

I four nodes setup to do active-backup bonding and the drivers loaded for the bonded network interfaces vary between tg3 and e100. All interfaces with the e100 driver loaded report errors much like what you see here: bonding: bond0: link status definitely down for interface eth2, disabling it e100: eth2: e100_watchdog: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex bonding: bond0: link status definitely up for interface eth2. This happens all day on every node. I have configured the bonding module to do MII link monitoring at a frequency of 100 milliseconds and it is using basic carrier link detection to test if the interface is alive or not. There was no custom building of any modules on these nodes and the o/s is CentOS 4.3. Some more relevant information is below (this display is consistent across all nodes): [smccl@tf35 ~]$uname -srvmpio Linux 2.6.9-34.ELhugemem #1 SMP Wed Mar 8 00:47:12 CST 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [smccl@tf35 ~]$head -5 /etc/modprobe.conf alias bond0 bonding options bonding miimon=100 mode=1 alias eth0 tg3 alias eth1 tg3 alias eth2 e100 [smccl@tf35 ~]$cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v2.6.1 (October 29, 2004) Bonding Mode: fault-tolerance (active-backup) Primary Slave: None Currently Active Slave: eth0 MII Status: up MII Polling Interval (ms): 100 Up Delay (ms): 0 Down Delay (ms): 0 Slave Interface: eth0 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 0 Permanent HW addr: 00:10:18:0c:86:a4 Slave Interface: eth2 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 12 Permanent HW addr: 00:02:55:ac:a2:ea Any idea why these e100 links report failures so often?

Upgrade from 3.x to 4.x via yum
by Jeff Coleman 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

Sorry for the noob question. I am trying to upgrade an older server from 3.x to 4.x via yum. Yum is resolving the original 3.x repositories and does not appear to be moving to 4.x due to the fact it still wants to use a 2.4.x kernel. Do I need to point yum to another set of repos in order to upgrade versions? Thanks -jeff

Relocating /boot and /
by Mark Hull-Richter 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

Due to the peculiar way that my root drive is configured (incomplete advance planning for Windows to Linux conversion), I have had thoughts about moving /boot and / to a different place on the drive. Current configuration is: sda1 - 30Gb primary partition (was the E: drive) sda2 - 120 Gb primary partition (was my H: drive) sda3 - 100Mb /boot primary partition sda4 - Extended partition sda5 - 4Gb swap partition sda6 - 145Gb / partition I was thinking about rearranging the disk to a more conventional layout where /boot is first, swap next, / next and the rest after that. It probably isn't necessary since the drive runs fine (well, almost - last night /boot developed a weirdity in its superblock and I had to recover with the install DVD in rescue mode and using the alternate superblock, but it's back up and running, having survived the boot fsck), but I was wondering if anyone had tried something like this before. Besides, having a backup (or new) /boot might not be a bad idea after last night.... Are there any serious advantages/disadvantages to having /boot in the middle of the disk and / after it? I was thinking that I could remove the 1 & 2 partitions, recreate them with a hole in between for a (new/replacement) swap, and copy the original partitions to the new locations, then update the grub.conf and voila! (I would hope....) I'm also wondering about complications from having the swap and / partitions inside the extended partition.... Comments / suggestions / feedback (preferably polite) welcome.

Hello, I've got a centos 4.4 box and i'd like to make some rpms for it. My first task is to recompile an srpm removing some options to customize it. I tried rpmbuild, which worked on a fedora install, but that command wasn't available. What rpm do i have to install to make rpms? I've got rpmdb, rpm, and rpm-libs already installed. I thought the missing one was rpm-utils, but no go. Thanks. Dave.

Headers update frequency in local repo

Hi all, I'm trying to build a local repo as a mirror of basic repos ([Basic], [Update],[Addons], [Extras],[CentOSPlus]) and popular third part repos ([Dries],[DAG] and [kbs]). The doubt I have is ¿Is needed that I regenerate the repo headers [1] every time when I've updated the local mirror repo [2]? [1] Eliminate old headers and generate new ones with createrepo script. [2] I'll use rsync tool to syncronice the repos. Thanks in advance.

Updates?

I just installed CentOS 4 on a new server and now I'm looking for updates that have been released. I like to keep a local mirror of all the updates so I can apply them to other machines easier/faster (this of course assuming I end up installing CentOS on more servers.) So, where are those updates mirrored? With RH/FC, I can hit any mirror and rsync the updates folders. Is there an equivalent with CentOS? -- A -- H | It's not a bug - it's an undocumented feature. +-------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashley M.

HD/Partitions/RAID setup
by Ashley M. Kirchner 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

I have a machine that's been configured as follows using its BIOS tools: SATA-0 is a 160 GiB drive used as boot SATA-1 and SATA-2 are both 500 GiB drives and were configured as a RAID-1 in BIOS. When the system boots up, BIOS reports 1 160 GiB SATA drive, and 1 Logical volume as RAID-1 ID#0 500 GiB, which is what I would expect it to report, as the two drives are now raided together. However, when I boot into the Centos installer and I get to configuring the partitions, it lists both sda, sdb, and sdc as available. Both sdb and sdc are 500 GiB. I would've expected to only see one drive for the RAID setup. Can someone explain why I see both drives and how am I supposed to configure them? I thought if I configured the BIOS to raid them, I wouldn't have to do anything in the OS other than to format the thing and expect it to work. -- W | It's not a bug - it's an undocumented feature. +-------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashley M.

How to create a virtual machine? (Centos-5-beta-xen)
by Marcelo Maia Garcia 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

Hi, I am trying to create a virtual machine with FC6 inside a Centos 5 (beta) Xen host. I am following the documentation of Fedora[1]. I used the "virt-install" command, and every went fine until the moment to create the partitions on the virtual disk (file "/var/xen/fc6.iso" with 10GB). No matter with option I choose: remove all partitions, remove linux partitions, use free space, etc, does not work. The message is: "An error has occurred - no valid devices were found on wihich to create new filesystems. Please check your hardware for the cause of the problem." The documentation seems so straightforward! Any hint or comment will be welcomed. Cheers Marcelo [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC6

Does LVM affect performance
by WipeOut 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

Hi, Pretty simple questions but probably not such a simple answer.. Does using LVM affect disk and system performnace? There must be some overhead involved (memory, cpu or disk IO) in using LVM but is that overhead measurable or is it insignificant?? Would be interesting to hear your thoughts or from anyone who has tested it.. Thanks..

Dependency problem - libijs.so

Have loaded trixbox/CentOS server successfully and am trying to retrofit X server and GNOME progs. Have run into same issue as discussed in this thread. Followed through to last message. But, lacking enough experience w/yum, didn't quite get the punch line. Is there a work around? Can I manually load it from some rpm and bypass this dependency?

2.6 memory management question
by tblader 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

Hello all. I have a centos 4.4 box (2.6.9-42.0.10.ELsmp) with 7gig of ram that doesn't seem to be using swap (also 7gig now). I say "seem" because I've noticed ram utilization run around 95% (with oracle and friends running) and then firing up a couple apps to use that last 5% will stop the machine dead in it's tracks. I ran across some reading[0] about /proc/sys/vm/swappiness and how it affects the kernels decisions when dealing with swap, but it's not all that clear to me whether this is the source of the problem. It seems like the kernel just isn't using swap at all. I've double checked my swap partition in fstab, ran mkswap again, double checked it's availability with vmstat -s but still it's just not getting used. Sunday, the box died around 3am and sar seems to show memory use on the rise right up till it hurled[1] (I just stuck another gig in the box monday, so sar only shows 6gig on sunday) Anyone know whats up with this? PS: swap is an LVM partition.

Eventually I managed to create an rpm from the source (actually, that's fairly easy when onw knows to say "python2"), but python-urlgrabber has completely defeated me. According to Dag, the problem is that "upstream" doesn't see the need to support RHAS2.1/Centos2.1/RHL7.x amd such. While I can, if forced, solve the problem by a personal visit to the site or by creating a repo on the other side of the Internet, there should be a better general solution. What is it? -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa(a)coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa(a)coco.merseine.nu Please do not reply off-list

UPS question
by Ashley M. Kirchner 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

Hello folks, I'm about to install Centos on a new server and this will be my first "exposure" if you will to Centos. I come from an RH/Fedora background. Anyway, is there a list somewhere that will tell me what UPS batteries are compatible with Centos 4 (brand/model)? I figured before I go out and buy something I better check to see what's supported.

3ware cards and new firmware in 9.4.1 codeset
by Scott Silva 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

I just saw the following in the release notes for the new firmware for the later 3ware cards; Improved CIFS performance The firmware has been tuned to greatly increase performance with CIFS (Common Internet File System) protocol. However, this has resulted in performance with the Linux ext3 file system that is slower than earlier releases. We recommend that you use other Linux file systems, such as XFS. So it looks like ext3 performance would be worse. What are they thinking? They are going to drive linux people away. -- MailScanner is like deodorant...

CentOS 4 - prevent X from installing?
by tony＠softins.clara.co.uk 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

So, I've just gone through a enw CentOS 4.4 install. I selected the "Custom" installation type, and then in the part for selecting which packages to install, I specifically did NOT select X, Gnome or KDE, nor any of the graphical tools. However, when it finished installing and rebooted, I still ended up with X installed, a graphical login screen and default run level of 5. Does anyone know which default packages might have caused X Windows to have been dragged in? I'll do some digging, but I had an idea this might be a common problem.

Hello, Anyone know a method to discriminate traffic by preference?, for example this channels: High preference traffic. Low preference traffic.

When high preference channel is not used low preference channel should be caught all line speed. Anyone know if tc command can help to make this? -- -- Publicidad http://www.pas-world.com

ClaSS (ClaSS Student System) - error
by Indunil Jayasooriya 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

Hi, I want to set up a Student Tracking system. So I installed ClaSS (ClaSS Student System). I set it up according to the README file. After configuring, I had to do a few things via web browser to configur the database by using the below URL. http://localhost/class-site/class/install/ Therafter I got the below info and I also had to fill a little bit. Welcome to the ClaSS Installation script. What you are doing. You should have already unpacked class into the top-level of your web directory. You should have already created a MySQL user account (with full privileges) to connect to the MySQL server. You will need to give a name for the ClaSS database you want created and of a separate password for ClaSS to use when connecting to MySQL. Need I say you should be running Firefox as your browser (with Javascript and Cookies switched to on). In other words, you need to know what you are doing... If you would like any further help or documentation please refer to the Your MySQL Account. Please supply details of an existing administrator's account on the MySQL server you are installing to. Name of host machine: User-name: Current Password: The ClaSS MySQL Account. The database to be created could be called anything but usually related to the school it serves. WARNING: any existing database on this server with that name will be forever overwritten! You may want to back-up first. A new MySQL account will be created for ClaSS with limited privileges. Be aware that if you have other installations of class running on this MySQL server then changing the ClaSS Connection Password here WILL STOP them connecting. In that case you must use the same password here! Name of ClaSS Database: ClaSS Connection Password: Re-enter Connection Password: Go Install. If you have completed all the above information: I configured the database. Then, It gave a sucessfull message. Then, Finnaly, I had to browse with below URL. http://localhost/class-site/ But , I got a blank page. Why is that? Is anybody out there runnging ClaSS? ClaSS documentation says, below list is fine with ClaSS. PEAR::DB 1.6.2 PHP 4.3.10-13 Apache 1.3.33 MySQL 4.0.24 But, My list is aliitle bit diffrent. I am running apache 2.x on CentOS 4.4. Can You help me? Can you also tell me some of open source student tracking systems. BUT RPMS are prefered.

hard disk move to another server
by dan1 09 Apr '07

09 Apr '07

Hello everyone. I am looking for a way to move a CentOS 4 installed production hard disk to another system (which has another hardware). The first has an nvidia sata controller (sata_nv), but the second has a via sata (sata_via). For all the rest of the hardware it can upgrade well I know, but if the sata driver is different, then the system doesn't boot because the proper driver is not included in the initrd file (grub still boots OK). Here is the error message: Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel. Red Hat nash version 4.2.1.8 starting mount: error 6 mounting ext3 mount: error 2 mounting none switchroot: mount failed: 22 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Does anyone know how I could upgrade easily this initrd file to contain the proper driver, and even from another partition? Would it be possible to keep an old config-xx file and do an rpm upgrade which would automatically recompile a proper initrd-xx file for that new system? Thanks for any help. Daniel

I, for one, have experimented quite enough, and I am looking for a desktop distro that is good for the long haul. I currently run Kubuntu 6.06 LTS, and I like it, but I don't like the support plan. My impression is that CentOS upgrades, following the upstream vendor, are going to be more solid than those of other distros, genuinely upgradeable, and supported for a sensible length of time. And I like the tone of the mailing list. There has been a rapid increase in Linux use over a very few years. Most people will have tried Fedora, Ubuntu, SUSE, etc. for a year or two, and many will now have refined their requirement to match the CentOS virtues. The historical hit rates on DistroWatch make an interesting study, revealing not only the changes in volume of interest, but also the changes in relative popularity. CentOS came in at 62 in 2004, in 2005 it was at 15, where it stayed for 2006, but a current 30 day span brings it up to 11. I would say this indicates increased curiosity, surely the imminence of CentOS 5 cannot be a coincidence?

XEN Paravirtualized CentOS5 beta on CentOS5 beta
by Patrick Lodder 08 Apr '07

08 Apr '07

Dear All, I'm trying to install CentOS5 beta as paravirtualized guest on a CentOS5 Xen host using virt-manager. Everything seems to go OK. I'm able to run virt-manager and fill-out all the details. Because you can only do a http/ftp/nfs install when setting up a paravirtualized guest using virt-manager, I made the whole contents of the CentOS5 beta DVD available via ftp. The start of the system looks fine. I can provide details about networking, but then I get a screen which ask me to fill-out the CentOS install directory(is "suggests" the same directory I used in virt-manager). But whatever I use it doesn't accept it. I am confident that I provided the correct directory, because the screens show CentOS on it. Also I created the ftp install-source as per the documentation. I've also tested it with fedora core 6 as described in the screenshots on virt-manager.et.redhat.com (e.g used the same install-source: ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/) but no luck there. A screenshot is attached that contain the screen I get over and over. Did anybody succeed in getting CentOS5 running as guest in CentOS5? Kind regards, Patrick

I just need to ensure the second command does just continue to run and run and run. Thanks, Jerry

CentOS 4 DNS Server not listening
by Michael Barnes 08 Apr '07

08 Apr '07

I installed CentOS 4 on a new box to use as a DNS server. It is a basic server install. I configured named and it is all up and running fine. It just isn't listening on Port 53. It also (obviously) does not respond to DNS requests. Requests from the machine itself are processed just fine, so the service is working. It just can't be used by other machines. Not good for a public DNS server. I did install and turn on SELinux. Maybe that was a mistake? I've not worked with SELinux before. Thanks for any ideas, Michael

We are not looking for a single sign-on style solution just the ability to connect. I have tried searching google but I did not find anything really usefull as most of the hits pointed toward SUSE and in our case we have need to stick with a RHEL style distro. If anyone has done this type of setup I would appreciate any information you have. Thank you, Rob

intel se7501wv2 interrupt problem?
by Michael Best 06 Apr '07

06 Apr '07

I'm having some really odd issues with the networking on this old Intel se7501wv2 The network card onboard is an Intel Corporation 82546EB I'm getting quite a lot of "[Errno 4] Socket Error: timed out" when I attempt to download updates on this machine. Other machines on my network do not appear to be plagued with the same disconnect problems. Not sure what kernel flags I should try, I've tried noht and noapic at the moment. I've also tried setting the network card to half duplex to see if that helps. ethtool -s eth0 duplex half No luck so far. -Mike

Funny that IBM went one better and open sourced JFS instead. I'm in kind of the same boat as you since I was an OS/2 user before I switched to Linux. I think the HPFS information was from a discussion as to why IBM couldn't open source OS/2 as a means of continuing support. Remember, we're talking about the same Microsquish that has attempted to patent the FAT file system. I'd be very surprised if NTFS wasn't IP encumbered. Debian tends to be very paranoid as to technical features and stability but they don't have the financial exposure that Red Hat has when it comes to infringing IP. Cheers, Dave -- Politics, n.

It's all dependent on the circumstances. Mark: If you are running a non production box, give CentOS 5 a shot. I plan to do that, but having had a bad out of the box experience with FC6, I will be prepared to return to CentOS 4.4, rapidly, after installing CentOS 5. If you are running production machines, then it is *NOT* a good idea to be the first one on your block with a brand new OS. Best to be conservative and let others find the problems that will bite you in the rear. HTH, Lanny

Reboot Issues
by James N. Smith 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

Hello Everyone, I've got Centos 4.4 installed and fully updated on an ASUS M2NBP-VM CSM Motherboard. When I issue a 'shutdown -r now' or an 'init 6' it goes through the shutdown sequence and then after the final message "rebooting system" it just sits there and has have it's reset switch manually pressed. When I issue a 'shutdown -h now' or a 'halt -p' it shuts down and powers down properly. My bet is that it's an ACPI issue but I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting it. Any thoughts?

Remtoe Install/Anaconda
by Matt Martz 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

I have started playing around with remote installs using vnc and kickstart files. However I cannot seem to find a good listing of anaconda parameters. And where I am running into problems is with the display. Say that I am using a kickstart file and I don't want it to establish a vnc connection or to show progress on the console what can I provide to anaconda to do this? When I add text to the kernel line then it goes into an attended install and doesn't read from the kickstart file. If I sepecify nothing for the display it prompts at the console what display to use. And I can specify vnc but I don't always want to watch the automated install. Any suggestions? -- Matt Martz CentOS Mirror Admin mdmartz(a)gflug.net

any help installing 4.4 for s390 (or s390x) on Z9-BC?
by Kelly F. Hickel 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

I should start off by saying that I know a lot more about linux than I do z/series hardware.... I've tried centos 3.3 and 4.4 for s390 and s390x, if it make any difference.... Trying to install 4.4 on an lpar on a z9-BC and having trouble figuring out how to get the OSA adapter working. I've been told that when I ftp-boot from the iso image, I should choose "eth" for adapter type, and enter "0xe38,0xe39,0xe3a" for the addresses. For the additional parameters, I've tried: add_parms,0x10,(0xe38,0xe3a),portname:CHIP00 portname:CHIP00 and just hitting enter (which looks like it's supposed to work with centos 4.4, but not 3.3) After subsequently entering the various IP params (addr, net addr, mask, fqdn, and so on), I typically get messages somewhat like the one below (copied verbatim from the s390x with 4.4 attempt): IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver divert: not allocating divert_blk for non-ethernet device sit0 qeth: loading qeth S/390 OSA-Express driver cat: /sys/devices/qeth/0xe38/if_name: No such file or directory SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device Can anyone shed a little light on what I should be doing? I have a feeling that I'm just not seeing the 800-lb gorilla in the room..... Thanks, -- Kelly F. Hickel Senior Software Architect MQSoftware, Inc 952.345.8677 kfh(a)mqsoftware.com

Problems with SATA DVD+-RW drive
by Jay Leafey 04 Apr '07

04 Apr '07

I just got a Dell Dimension e521 (AMD 64 x2, nVidia MCP51 chipset) and so far it has been fine. Today I tried to burn some CD-R and DVD-R disks and have been able to do nothing but make coasters. The drive is a TSST TS-H653a (Samsung OEM) and does have the current firmware. Playing back data, audio, and video disks work just fine, but recording is a different matter. The drive shows up as /dev/scd0 and all the symlinks for /dev/cdrom, /dev/cdwriter, /dev/dvd, and /dev/dvdwriter point to that device. Both cdrecord and growisofs complete without any errors, but when I try to remount the just-recorded disk I get an error: [jleafey@jaybird Downloads]$ mount /media/cdrecorder/ /dev/scd0: Invalid argument mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only /dev/scd0: Invalid argument mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified I have also tried to explicitly mount it specifying the device and fs type: [jleafey@jaybird Downloads]$ sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 \ /media/cdrecorder/ mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0, or too many mounted file systems The output of dmesg shows the message "cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!" when this happens. Since I also get an error on the eject command UNLESS RUN AS ROOT (eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device) I thought it might be a permission problem, but the device (/dev/scd0) is showing up as being "owned" by me, courtesy of Gnome no doubt. I get the bad burns whether I run as root or a regular user. At this point I don't know whether to think the problem is with cdrecord or the sata_nv driver. Anybody got any ideas on where to look next? Thanks! -- Jay Leafey - Memphis, TN jay.leafey(a)mindless.com

Cluster Services
by Scott McClanahan 04 Apr '07

04 Apr '07

Hello, we are running CentOS 4.3 and the latest cluster suite packages from the csgfs yum repository for this release and need to delete a cluster member. According to the documentation we need to restart all cluster related services on all remaining nodes in the cluster after the node has been removed. This is a four node cluster so removing one node obviously degrades the cluster to three nodes, but we can have the remaining cluster members recalculate the number of votes to remain quorate. It still surprises me that we have to bring down the entire cluster just because we are deleting a node. Any feedback as to why this might be?

Partitioning with LVM
by Cen Tos 04 Apr '07

04 Apr '07

I've been reading up on recommended partitioning scheme and looking at Centos 5 beta's default scheme, it struck me that with LVM, it doesn't matter any more as long as we leave aside enough room for /boot, does it? Or am I still missing something here? Thanks!

Problem with gettid() on CentOS 5/gcc 4.1.1
by Alfred von Campe 04 Apr '07

04 Apr '07

I can't get the simple program below to compile on CentOS 5 beta. It compiles (and runs) just fine on CentOS 4.4, and I'm using gettid() as described in the man page. I wonder if this is a problem with RHEL 5 as well, but I don't have a system to test on. I also wonder if this is a gcc 4.1.1 issue or something missing in CentOS 5. The issue is that the _syscall0 macro is not defined anywhere. If I copy and paste the following definition for _syscall0 from a CentOS 4.4 system into the test program, it works just fine: #define _syscall0(type,name) \ type name(void) \ {\ return syscall(__NR_##name);\ } Has anyone else run into this problem? Alfred #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <linux/unistd.h> #include <errno.h> _syscall0(pid_t, gettid) int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { printf("My tid is 0x%08x\n", gettid()); }

CentOS 4.4 32 bits not recognizing disks
by Mário Gamito 04 Apr '07

04 Apr '07

Hi, I have to install this server with an Intel motherboard ASUS, model P5VDC-MX. It has a VIA hardware RAID controller model VT-8251. The two hard drives are SATA (don't know if II) and are Maxtor STM380211AS. Problem is that CentOS installation doesn't recognize any hard drives at all. The BIOS setup doesn't have an option to turn off SATA. Any ideas ? Thanks in advance. -- :wq! Mário Gamito
