system hangs
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 26 Feb '14

26 Feb '14

Every so often, one of our servers will go into what I can only describe as an undefined state: it pings, but there's zero access - you can't ssh in, and if I go plug a keyboard and monitor into the server itself, you can see the monitor's live, it's not the "monitor turned off" color, but there is zero response to the keyboard. The upshot is that I wind up having to power cycle it. Well, it just happened again on one of our servers Friday evening, as I found this morning. Looking at the logs this morning, I see that sar last shows 10:20:01 PM all 34.38 0.00 8.29 0.00 0.00 57.33 On of my users dropped me an email at 22:45 that it was "off", and the last things I see in /var/log/messages are one of those annoying Feb 21 22:26:23 <server> kernel: INFO: task perl:20596 blocked for more than 120 seconds. Feb 21 22:26:23 <server> kernel: "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. I also see Feb 21 22:26:23 <server> kernel: perl D ffffffff80158250 0 20596 20557 which, as I just found by googling perl NOTLD, means that this is in a kernel uninterruptable state In addition, in the stack trace, some nfs messages Feb 21 22:26:23 <server> kernel: [<ffffffff886b58d1>] :nfs:nfs_wait_bit_uninterruptible+0x0/0xd So, it *appears* to be either an NFS issue, or a NIC issue. The user's home directory server is CentOS running 6.5, and the server that hung is 5.10. Mount on the formerly hung server, su-d to his account shows merely nfs, so I'm guessing it's NFS3. Looking at lsmod and /var/log/dmesg, I see it's running the tg3 NIC driver. Anyone else seeing this, and if so, any thoughts on the matter? Note that I've had this on Penguins, which are all Supermicro, and they're using the igb NIC driver, but the one this past weekend is a Dell, so it's not just one system. mark

Migration from 32 to 64 bits
by Fabrizio Di Carlo 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

Hello to all, currently I have CentOS 6.4 32 bit, very simple setup on my notebook, I want to migrate it from 32 to 64 bits cause I want to play with some VMs etc etc. Do you have some suggestions on how to do backup of folders (mainly I have 1 user) or just copy the user folder and stop?

To add to Les' points, Fedora has offered in place upgrade, going at least as far back as FC1 -> FC2.

Need help resolving yum update issues on mixed architecture system
by Alfred von Campe 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

I have been using 32-bit CentOS since the 4.X days without a real need for 64-bit, but in preparation for CentOS 7, I have installed 64-bit CentOS 6 on a test system to qualify all our builds. However, in order to build some of our current 32-bit applications, I had to install some i686 packages, including glib. Now when I try to do a "yum update" on this test system, I get the dreaded "Error: Multilib version problems found." issue. I have tried following the instructions from yum (--exclude=glib.i686, yum check, etc.) to resolve this to no avail. What is the best way to proceed with the "yum update" so that all (64-bit and 32-bit) packages are updated? Thanks, Alfred

Multicast packages dropped
by Uwe.Poliak＠amann.com 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

Hi, I have recently updated one of my systems from CentOs 6.4 to CentOS 6.5. This systems is used as a RIPv2 routing server with quagga which is the termination point of some GRE tunnels. While running CentOS 6.4 I see the multicast packages arriving at the eth0 and the GRE tunnel interface. While running under CentOs 6.5 I can see the multicast packages arriving at the eth0 but not on the GRE tunnel interface. I am receiving and sending routes at the eth0 interface, but I am only able to send updates through the GRE tunnel not receive them. All interfaces are multicast enabled: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:50:56:B8:27:52 inet Adresse:10.139.10.2 Bcast:10.139.10.255 Maske:255.255.255.0 inet6 Adresse: fe80::250:56ff:feb8:2752/64 Gültigkeitsbereich:Verbindung UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:7190594 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6209862 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:1000 RX bytes:2425775260 (2.2 GiB) TX bytes:2357002233 (2.1 GiB) net2bdo Link encap:UNSPEC Hardware Adresse 0A-8B-0A-02-FF-FF-E0-A4-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 inet Adresse:192.168.250.21 P-z-P:192.168.250.22 Maske:255.255.255.252 UP PUNKTZUPUNKT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1400 Metric:1 RX packets:118143 errors:7913 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:7913 TX packets:115334 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:0 RX bytes:21714417 (20.7 MiB) TX bytes:32111515 (30.6 MiB) net2bdp Link encap:UNSPEC Hardware Adresse 0A-8B-0A-02-00-00-E0-18-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 inet Adresse:192.168.250.25 P-z-P:192.168.250.26 Maske:255.255.255.252 UP PUNKTZUPUNKT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1400 Metric:1 RX packets:78025 errors:7001 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:7001 TX packets:85049 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:0 RX bytes:18388666 (17.5 MiB) TX bytes:38376786 (36.5 MiB) While doing a tcpdump (tcpdump –ni eth0 proto 47 | grep 224.0.0.9), I can see the multicast packages arriving inside the GRE tunnel (see last package): 10:40:34.366661 IP 10.139.10.2 > 192.168.252.26: GREv0, length 536: IP 192.168.250.25.router > 224.0.0.9.router: RIPv2, Response, length: 504 10:40:34.366680 IP 10.139.10.2 > 192.168.252.26: GREv0, length 536: IP 192.168.250.25.router > 224.0.0.9.router: RIPv2, Response, length: 504 10:40:34.366702 IP 10.139.10.2 > 192.168.252.26: GREv0, length 536: IP 192.168.250.25.router > 224.0.0.9.router: RIPv2, Response, length: 504 10:40:34.366721 IP 10.139.10.2 > 192.168.252.26: GREv0, length 356: IP 192.168.250.25.router > 224.0.0.9.router: RIPv2, Response, length: 324 10:40:39.830508 IP 192.168.252.26 > 10.139.10.2: GREv0, length 136: IP 192.168.250.26.router > 224.0.0.9.router: RIPv2, Response, length: 104 While doing the same on the Tunnel interface (tcpdump –ni net2bdp host 224.0.0.9), I do not see the incoming multicast packages any more: 10:42:32.391849 IP 192.168.250.25.router > 224.0.0.9.router: RIPv2, Response, length: 504 10:42:32.391887 IP 192.168.250.25.router > 224.0.0.9.router: RIPv2, Response, length: 504 10:42:32.391945 IP 192.168.250.25.router > 224.0.0.9.router: RIPv2, Response, length: 504 10:42:32.391975 IP 192.168.250.25.router > 224.0.0.9.router: RIPv2, Response, length: 324 I am using quagga 0.99.15 as the RIPv2 daemon.

Problem with cron
by Joseph Hesse 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

I have a root cron job that powers down my server every day at 1am and 6pm. The output of '# crontab -l' is shown below. * 1,18 * * * poweroff Last night, after the server powered down at 6pm, I decided I wanted to use the server so I started it with the power button. The server, after a minute or so, powered itself down. This behaviour happened repeatedly until I waited past 7pm. Then the server did not poweroff. Apparently a cron job that executed correctly at 6pm was executing minutes past 6pm when the server was restarted. This is totally unexpected behavior. Here is the output of the cron log file. The name of the server has been redacted. # grep -i 'Feb 22' cron-20140223 | grep -i poweroff Feb 22 18:00:01 xxxxxxxxxx CROND[2875]: (root) CMD (poweroff) Feb 22 18:12:01 xxxxxxxxxx CROND[1894]: (root) CMD (poweroff) Feb 22 18:16:01 xxxxxxxxxx CROND[1893]: (root) CMD (poweroff) Feb 22 18:18:01 xxxxxxxxxx CROND[1896]: (root) CMD (poweroff) Feb 22 18:22:01 xxxxxxxxxx CROND[1915]: (root) CMD (poweroff) Feb 22 18:25:01 xxxxxxxxxx CROND[1919]: (root) CMD (poweroff) Feb 22 18:34:01 xxxxxxxxxx CROND[1890]: (root) CMD (poweroff) Is there a fix for this behavior?

KVM and Win7-64 Sound
by david 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

Dear Gurus I have been unable to make sound (and microphone) work in Windows 7 (64-bit) as a VM with KVM. Google searches reveal this to be a common problem, with various solutions recommended, primarily Ubuntu oriented, none of which have worked for me. So I wonder if anyone has a working Windows sound condition with: Centos 6.5 with KVM, all on a 64-bit Intel platform. Sound works on the host machine, verified when I switch into GUI mode and run a sound-producing program Sound does not work in the Windows 7 (64-bit) PRO installation as a Virtual Machine, and I have tried specifying the emulated hardware as AC97, and ICH6. Any working examples? David

Hi Folks, I'd like to change from Samba 3.0.33 to 3.6.6. Reason: WINDOWS 7 and PDC Is something to consider when changing (config-Files or so on)? Have I to uninstall Samba 3.0.33 before or just run an update? Thx for hints. Timothy

Growing HW RAID arrays, Online
by Billy Crook 24 Feb '14

24 Feb '14

We add disks to an LSI raid array periodically to increase the amount of available space for business needs. It is understood that this process starts with metal, and has many layers that must each adjust to make use of the additional space. Each of these layers also says that it can do that 'online' without interruption or rebooting. But making it happen is not that easy. When the HW raid controller's grow completes, we echo 1 to /sys/bus/scsi/devices/#:#:#:#/rescan and the kernel notices and updates the size of the block device. (sdc in this case) sdc1 is the only partition on the device, and should consume the entire device. sdc1 is a PV in a VG that holds production data and must not become unavailable at any time. After growing sdc as mentioned earlier, parted notices that the end-of-drive partition table is missing, fixes it, and grows its disk size to match the new size of sdc. It all makes sense up to this point. but what happens next is what I need some advice on. How do we grow sdc1, online? parted says it doesn't support 'resize' on the filesystem (LVM PV). The usual answer to parted's lack of support for filesystems, and insistence to only resize partitions when it can stick its nose in the filesystem and do that too is: parted sdc rm 1, parted mkpart primary 0% 100% (thus making a new partition "Around" the old one) That should work, but I can't get the kernel to 'notice' that sdc1 is now larger. hdparm -z barfs up an error that sdc is in use. I know that rebooting likely will fix it. But we cannot reboot. We also cannot keep making more partitions every time we add a disk. So that's not a solution either. We need to GROW the gpt partitions online, or use another partitioning type that supports >6TB I've googled it for hours and found no good solutions. This same situation would affect VMs with virtual disks that grow over time to satisfy business needs, as well as servers mounting iSCSI/FC storage that grows over time. How would you grow this online? Going without partitions at all and putting the pv directly on sdc is no good either. So we need partitions, and msdos tables don't support >2TB and the only other in practical use that I know of is gpt, and thse aparently can't expand online! Here's where I'm at now in case you're curious [root@host lib]# parted /dev/sdc unit s print free Model: SMC SMC2108 (scsi) Disk /dev/sdc: 8189439999s Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 34s 8189439966s 8189439933s primary Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary.

transparent_huge_pages problem (again?)
by Dennis Jacobfeuerborn 22 Feb '14

22 Feb '14

Hi, I've experiencing problems with 6.5 guests on a 6.4 host when running hadoop with transparen_huge_pages enabled. As soon as I disable that feature everything returns to normal. I'm posting here because this issue cam up in the past: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5716 That bug was closed with "resolved in EL6.4" but now it seems to have returned. Apparently there exists an old bug (presumably resolved) upstream here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=805593 Since I don't have access to it I'm not sure what the current state is. What are my options here? Should I reopen the CentOS bug above or should I file a new one upstream? Regards, Dennis

KVM/NAT help requested
by david 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

Dear Linux Gurus I'm having problems with KVM and networking. My guest cannot use NAT through the host's connection. This is what I've done: I installed a new version of Centos 6.5 on the hardware. Starting with a Net-Install, I selected the Virtual Hosting, and later added "Desktop". I ran "yum update" with some reboots until nothing needed updating. The host networking is IPV4 only, using DHCP. (A different box on my home network provides DHCP and is a gateway to the internet. I have a reservation in that DHCP so that the host always gets a known IP address) Using a Gnome desktop, as a non-root user, I installed Windows 7 Pro from an image of an ISO I had copied onto the host. In the "Networking" configuration, I chose "DEFAULT". The documentation of KVM seems to imply that it should give me a NAT'ted interface to my host's connection (I wasn't worried about performance at this point). When the installation was complete, Windows tries to configure the network. Running the Windows command line "IPCONFIG" program, the Windows guest program does get an IP address from the host (192.168.122.xxx), but the guest cannot communicate to the outside world. I can ping the host, but nothing else. Is there some other magic sauce, perhaps in the IPTABLES of the host, that will allow the guest to use the internet? I'm baffled. On the KVM host, this is the result of "iptables -L" -------------------------------------- Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:domain ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:domain ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:bootps ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:bootps ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:ssh REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere 192.168.122.0/24 state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT all -- 192.168.122.0/24 anywhere ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-port-unreachable REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-port-unreachable REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination ------------------------------------- Thanks for your help.

eclipse now crashing on CentOS 5.10
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

Got a user screaming... his 5.10 workstation, first time since the upgrade java-openjdk 1.7.0.51-2.4.4.2 Anyone else seeing that? I logged onto his machine, and I don't use eclipse, at all, so there shouldn't be a lot of crap in my .eclipse, and it shows the splash window, then tells me it's crashed in another pop-up, and it's gone. The error log it tells me about says, in its very long java dump, at the end: !SESSION Fri Feb 21 11:50:46 EST 2014 ------------------------------------------ !ENTRY org.eclipse.core.launcher 4 0 2014-02-21 11:50:46.215 !MESSAGE Exception launching the Eclipse Platform: !STACK java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:186) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:606) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.invokeFramework(Main.java:336) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:280) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:977) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:952) Time to downgrade openjdk? mark

Best way to virtualize Windows XP on Centos
by Frank Cox 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

I may have a need to run some version of Windows (XP?) on my desktop. As this will likely be a short-term thing, and since I have never used Windows, I would like to do this in the most painless way possible. A method that requires me to make the least changes to my Centos computer would be nice, since I'll probably want to back it out again later. I have never used any of the current virtualization technologies, so it's all new to me. My objective is to have Window run in a window on my desktop. I don't want to dual-boot my computer. I was looking at virtualbox. Is this the best approach? I get the impression that there are special kernel modules that are required for virtualbox, but if I install dkms then that will be automatically handled for me whenever there is a kernel upgrade. Install dkms, install the virtualbox repo, install virtualbox rpms, set up image, done. Is that all there is to it? Would something other than virtualbox be better? Any recommendations or suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks! -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

failed drive on an HP dl580 G5
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

The hpacucli works... but what isn't clear to me, even with googling, is whether I have to do something from the utility, or whether I can just pull the failed drive out of the hot-swap bay and put another in. I *do* see that I have to re-enable the drive, or rescan it, but right now, I'm concerned about just pulling the dead one out. mark

Problem with wireless router
by Joseph Hesse 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

Hello, I am using wireless N on a DLink-655 wireless router. It is the "A" hardware version with the latest firmware. I am using a channel that no one in my vicinity is using, according to iwlist. I checked the Statistics from the router web interface and they are shown below for a period of less than an hour. It looks like the errors are excessive, especially the "RX Packets Dropped" Is this par for the course and TCP takes care of it or am I having hardware problems with my router? Thank you, Joe Wireless Statistics Sent :138143 TX Packets Dropped :41 Received :99485 RX Packets Dropped :50911 Errors :27

Old harware (intel 82845G card) stopped working after update (centos 6)
by Alain.Cochard＠unistra.fr 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

Hello. I apology in advance if I am not reporting things correctly, but my knowledge about these things is very limited. I have five Transtec computers, approximately born in July 2005; they have an intel 82845G video card. The last 'yum update' was on January 30, 2014. I did not reboot the machines at that time. I cannot be sure about the date of the 'yum update' preceding that one, but I think is was on September 7, 2013. Last Friday (February 14, 2014), 4 of those 5 computers stopped working properly after some action on them. The problem is: black screen with only the arrow of the mouse (mouse is working correctly :-). Apart from that, the computers are OK: one can use Ctrl-Alt-F1, etc. For sure, one of the action which led to the problem was a reboot. I cannot be 100% sure about the action, which was simply a change of screen: the machine was OK; then I changed the screen; it did not work any more; then I rebooted. But my experience is that, sometimes, even under normal condition, it does not work right away, or perhaps not at all, after changing the screen. The 5th computer, on which nothing has been done, is still working just fine. NB: for sure, there has been at least one reboot on at least one of the 5 machines between September (or whatever date at which the previous 'yum update' has been performed) and January, and the problem did not show up. For what it's worth, the following 2 packages are installed: xorg-x11-drv-intel-devel-2.21.12-2.el6.i686 xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.21.12-2.el6.i686 Also, here is the output of 'lspci | grep 82845': 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE/PE DRAM Controller/Host-Hub Interface (rev 01) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) Based on the data, my best guess is that the problem I have is due to some recent change in the centos packages. Perhaps it was supposed to be so? (I.e., no longer supporting old hardware?). If so, at any rate, I'll be grateful if someone can suggest a workaround, or perhaps a hint towards that goal.

Dug myself into a hole
by Styma, Robert E (Robert) 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

I just build a CentOS 6 machine to replace my old machine which broke to where I could not fix it. In attempting to get the applications running which had worked on the old machine, I did updates from several repos such as rpmforge, atrpms, livna, epel, etc. Some of the attempts ended going down blind alleys. Now I have a mix of rpm's from various sites that I do not need, but they are listed as dependencies of other rpm's. The rpmforge rpm's are marked with "rf". Is there a process to check which of these rpm's are also in the base libraries and force them back in? I really do not want to go back to square 1 and reload the system from scratch. Bob S

I've got a user that wants Japanese language support in firefox... our *stock* CentOS firefox, 24.3. I've yum installed i18, and i10, and no joy. Looked at firefox addons, and there's one, 27.0. Won't install, "not compatible". Neither is either 24.0, or 25.0. Anyone have a link to a compatible version? mark

Java versions in CentOS
by Tom Cartwright 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Hi All, Following the latest security updates from Oracle, the version of OpenJDK package is currently listed as: java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.51-2.4.4.1.el6_5.x86_64.rpm The Redhat security advisory lists these packages: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-0026.html but it makes no reference to the build number, which it turns out is important. The build on the package in centos 6.5 is currently listed as b02: [........]$ java -version java version "1.7.0_51" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (rhel-2.4.4.1.el6_5-x86_64 u51-b02) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode) However changes were being made in at least b10: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8028111 I guess this raises three questions: 1. How is the build of the JDK selected for a security update in RHEL/CentOS? 2. Could the b number be made more clear in the release information given its importance? 3. Is it possible to JDK package be updated to the latest build number, given the current one has missing backports?

Backing up Xen vm's
by Johan Vermeulen 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Dear All, because the organization I work for has to enter the 21 century eventually, and encouraged by the the excellent wiki's available, I'm giving Xen a try. I' ve tested setting it all up but I have this question concerning making backups. i' ve noticed that virsh snaphot-create does not work, and googling this, I can find many posts describing making backups with rbackup, lvm , dd, .... The thing is there is not always a date with these posts and articles, so before I dig into this: Is this still the way this is done, or is there now a more straightforward way to backup ( Xen ) vm's? Many thanks for any advise. Greetings, J -- Johan Vermeulen IT-medewerker Powered by Linux.

[OT] Video card radiator

17 Feb '14

Ok so I built the microserver as a centos box and now I have a strange one I built a Centos 6.5 box with a 3.6 raid ext4 data drive on it, shared with samba. Now when I browse these folders on the console I can see the files. when I sftp on the command line from another box I can see these files. But when I browse via samba or using a gui sftp client quite a lot of these files are missing... Any ideas?

deleting FakeRaid -> what happens to the partitions/data
by Jobst Schmalenbach 17 Feb '14

17 Feb '14

Hi A server has FakeRAID installed, I want to remove it to make it mdadm driven .... If I delete the FakeRAID including - disabling it in the BIOS - removing the dmraid driver from initrd - deleting all meta data from partitions - deleting all dmraid packages is the data still available on the drives, i.e. the partitions, filesystem and files are still ok? I know that FakeRAID controller is not a real hardware controller and the driver (thus CPU doing the work) makes it look like one drive ... So if you create a partition it would be a standard (and same) partition on each of the drive connected to a FakeRAID? This would me there are just normal drives with partitions and file system that is ready to be used after the deletion of the faeRAID? thanks Jobst -- Dont blink or you miss it! | |0| | Jobst Schmalenbach, jobst(a)barrett.com.au, General Manager | | |0| Barrett Consulting Group P/L & The Meditation Room P/L |0|0|0| +61 3 9532 7677, POBox 277, Caulfield South, 3162, Australia

Mirroring Disk (Apologies for the new thread I deleted the original)
by Jeff Allison 17 Feb '14

17 Feb '14

Answers to questions... It really depends on your use case. I'm looking to be able to pull out old dead drive, and replace it with new (almost up to date) drive and reboot. The USB disk is a 1TB disk in a case. > Been considering dump and restoring to the usb disk periodically? or > maybe something using LVM or maybe creating and breaking a RAID 1 > array? Constantly making and breaking a RAID1 with a USB drive is probably not helpful. It's just more wear and tear on the OS drive, because it has to be constantly read in order to mirror the target drive, and your USB drive is probably not what you want to boot off of if your system drive fails. You'd be much better off with a permanent RAID1, but if you can't do that then at least make a RAID1 to a USB enclosure which contains the same size and interface drive as your current system disk. This way if it fails you can swap in the backup drive and not have to boot from a USB drive. Yeah I thought that would be the case, as I said above I'd like to be able to boot from the USB enclosure but the plan is to replace the failed internal with the disk from the USB enclosure. Would LVM be any help or is it just a complication? I defiantly leaning to the nightly dump/restore into a similarly formatted disk.

Filesystem gets corrupted after kernel upgrade to 2.6.32-431.5.1.el6
by Max Grobecker 16 Feb '14

16 Feb '14

Hi, I recently installed some fresh CentOS 6.5 machines and it took only about 20 minutes until the file system (ext4) was broken. And with "broken" I mean, that the system wasn't able to find vital system libraries any more! I were able to reproduce it on highly different systems: - A fresh installed CentOS 6.5 64 Bit on a virtual machine (KVM) - A system which I installed some weeks ago (also a KVM machine) and did a "yum update" which upgraded to kernel 2.6.32-431.5.1.el6. - A fresh installed CentOS 6.5 64 Bit on native hardware on a RAID 5 assembled with mdadm - A CentOS 6.4 system installed some months ago on native hardware with mdadm RAID 5 The last system wasn't able to boot after the upgrade and crashed with several kernel panics which I can show as a screenshot if there's any interest - but the display resolution was quite low so there are not many helpful information :-( Actually, I assume that there's anything broken with the new kernel or at least the kernel module for ext4 file system. You can reproduce it by just doing a "yum update" and rebooting the system. If it comes up, reboot it again and manually do an offline filesystem check - or just do some writing activities on the disks. Is it just me? I don't use any 3rd party repositorys and it blows my mind that no one else seems to notice...! Greetings from Wuppertal, Germany Max

Emacs and Ispell, Aspell and Hunspell

CentOS members, This is another CentOS, Emacs upgrade question: Since upgrading from CentOS 5.10 and Emacs 21.4.1 to CentOS 6.5 and Emacs 23.1.1 I am trying to get a spell checker working in emacs. Previously I used aspell and everything "just worked". Now I gather that hunspell is the norm but after installing it, when I try it it "just doesn't work". If I try to (for instance) spell check a region (ispell-region) the session hangs and a "ps axfu" from another seesion reveals: mark 8464 0.0 1.2 313764 50252 ?

Is there an emacs guru amongst the CentOS bretheren who can help me with the following: Since upgrading from CentOS 5.10, Emacs 21.4.1 and Gnus v5.9.0 to CentOS 6.5, Emacs 23.1.1 and Gnus v5.13 HTML emails are now being renderd in a pretty reasonable way (thanks!), *but* non-breaking-spaces (nbsp's - UTF8 0xC2, 0xA0) and a few other "unusual" characters are always displayed (both in my graphical display and in terminals and PuTTY sessions) as octal bytes (e.g. \302\240) instead of being renderd as glyphs. Why? Is it to do with the locale? That says: $ locale LANG=en_US.utf8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8" LC_TIME="en_US.utf8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8" LC_PAPER=en_GB.UTF_8 LC_NAME="en_US.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8" LC_ALL= Something in Gnus. Something in emacs? Is it something else? If I make a file and insert UTF-8 characters using hexl-mode: C2 A0 0A C2 A3 0A I see the correct glyphs (nbsp (an underlined cell) and a pound sign) when I open the file in emacs. Some clue stick please... Greetings Mark -- If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple.

RSync Problem
by Joseph Hesse 14 Feb '14

14 Feb '14

I use an external USB drive and rsync to back up everything in /home. The USB drive has an entry in fstab and I mount it with "# mount /mnt" The rsync command I use is: rsync -av --delete --include='.thunderbird' --include='.filezilla' --include='.putty' \ --exclude='.*' --exclude='Desktop' --exclude='VirtualBox*' /home/* /mnt/home/ After I deleted one of the users on my system, including their home directory, I ran the rsync command. I found that the deleted user's home directory wasn't deleted from /mnt/home. I thought that the --delete option deleted everything on the destination that was not on the source. Please help. Thank you, Joe

OK all my HP Microserver is purring away nicely now, as usual I looking for the rainy day. Although my data is on a RAID 5 array my OS is on a single disk. Any suggestions as to the best way to have a copy of my OS on an attached USB Drive? Been considering dump and restoring to the usb disk periodically? or maybe something using LVM or maybe creating and breaking a RAID 1 array? Just not sure of the best plan at the mo. Any tips?

Centos 5.10, Firefox ESR 24.3.0, Rendering Failure
by Always Learning 14 Feb '14

14 Feb '14

Further to my very recent concerns that <ol type="a"> gives digits. type="a" was "depreciated" in HTML 4.1. "depreciated" means to me to be of a lesser value or to be prepared it may be abandoned. It does not, in my version of English English, mean removed from the HTML specification. Therefore it should function 'normally' in modern browsers like FF. HTML 5 has officially resurrected it. I now discover that <ol style="list-style-type:lower-alpha;"> also produces digits. Where should a BUG report be filled ? With Centos, the provider of Firefox ESR 24.3.0, or its parent Red Hat ? Thanks. -- Paul. England, EU. Our systems are exclusively Centos. No Micro$oft Windoze here.
