fsck.ext4 Failed to optimize directory
by Joakim Ziegler 24 Aug '13

24 Aug '13

I had a rather large ext4 partition on an Areca RAID shut down uncleanly while it was writing. When I mount it again, it recommends fsck, which I do, and I get the following error: Failed to optimize directory ... EXT2 directory corrupted This error shows up every time I run fsck.ext4 on this partition. How can I fix this? The file system seems to work ok otherwise, I can mount it and it doesn't complain, using it looks like it's ok, etc. -- Joakim Ziegler - Supervisor de postproducción - Terminal joakim(a)terminalmx.com - 044 55 2971 8514 - 5264 0864

LVM RAID0 and SSD discards/TRIM
by Joakim Ziegler 24 Aug '13

24 Aug '13

I'm trying to work out the kinks of a proprietary, old, and clunky application that runs on CentOS. One of its main problems is that it writes image sequences extremely non-linearly and in several passes, using many CPUs, so the sequences get very fragmented. The obvious solution to this seems to be to use SSDs for its output, and some scripts that will pick up and copy our the sequences in proper order once it's done. I have two 512GB SSDs, and I've used LVM to set up a RAID0 between them. I've got that part running, but since I'm on CentOS 5.8 (which is what this application officially supports), I don't have a kernel with SSD discard support, and after a few days (I told you, this application is write intensive), things get very slow. Using hdparm to secure erase the drives and recreating the LVM RAID0 gets things back to speed again, but that's obviously not ideal. So, from what I understand, if I can get this thing running on CentOS 6.4, I'll get kernel discard support, and discard support in LVM when running a RAID0. I'm using ext4. Is that correct? Will this solve my problem? I want to confirm that discard support works on a RAID0 of SSDs using LVM and ext4 before I start working on getting this legacy application to run on a newer CentOS. -- Joakim Ziegler - Supervisor de postproducción - Terminal joakim(a)terminalmx.com - 044 55 2971 8514 - 5264 0864

Setting Up LVS to Load Balance DNS
by Trevor Kates 23 Aug '13

23 Aug '13

Greetings, all: OS: CentOS 6.4 x86_64 Kernel: 2.6.32-358.14.1 I could use some assistance with setting up pulse to load balance my dns servers. I've configured tcp and udp port 53 with the piranha gui, set up arptable rules on the real servers and added the virtual ip to the bond0 interface on the real servers, but I'm still having no luck in getting things going. A dig against the virtual ip address simply times out and ipvsadm shows no servers under the UDP connection for the virtual IP I defined in lvs.cf. Nanny also complains in /var/log/messages like so: READ to x.x.x.x timed out I've attached my lvs.cf and sysctl.conf files for the lvs server and real dns servers. Any help or nudges in the right direction would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. --

Make server reboot by itself instead of dropping to kernel debugger
by Alexander Farber 23 Aug '13

23 Aug '13

Hello, on OpenBSD if you put ddb.panic=0 into /etc/sysctl.conf, the server won't drop into debugger on kernel panic. Is there please a similar setting for CentOS 6.4 / 64 bit? The background is that I have a new dedicated server with Haswell CPU and once a month it is stuck, displaying kernel trace (the other users at my hoster have similar problems). So the users of my web site complain. I'd prefer my web server to just reboot Thank you Alex

RHEL Subscriptions
by Anthony K 23 Aug '13

23 Aug '13

Hello List Members. I was recently approached by Dell stating that I HAVE TO renew my Red Hat Subscriptions. I challenged this statement and was informed that this has always been the case and that all servers I have bought off of Dell over the years need to have current subscription! I've been searching the Red Hat website to find where this is stated but can't seem to locate this info. So, is Dell having me on? Cheers, ak.

Re: [CentOS] k3b -> cddb doesn't work
by Lamar Owen 23 Aug '13

23 Aug '13

Whee. Here we go again. There are properly built and packaged RPMs for Jorg's (sorry, android keyboard I'm using doesn't have the proper marking for the o there) cdrtools, for EL6. I'm using them on a few installs where wodim just simply does the wrong thing and cdrtools does the right thing. Those packages properly obsolete the wodim ones and install in the correct places with the correct dependencies; I want to say they're from the city-fan.org repo. (I'm not on my EL6 laptop, but on my phone right now,so I can't easily check). In my case, I rebuilt from the source RPM, and that worked well. Once I'm back where I can check I'll verify the repo and provide a pointer (again; it is in the archives of this list.....).

USB Audio sound card
by Glenn Eychaner 23 Aug '13

23 Aug '13

All- Ah, the saga of the 1U workstation continues. So, in all my work configuring the thing, I completely forgot about AUDIO; I only realized my mistake when I went on a cable-measuring expedition this morning. Unfortunately, none of the 1U servers I've been looking at come with audio outputs (there aren't even audio headers on the motherboard), and I've used the only availabnle slot for my fancy graphics card! Now, a lesser (or maybe smarter) individual would give up at this point, and go back to MiniITX or a 2U rackmount (if I could find a short-depth one). "Nay!" I say. What about USB Audio? I don't need 5.1 or 7.1 audio here; I'm plugging in a Dell monitor soundbar. A quick search of the web says that yes, these devices will work under CentOS and show up as /dev/dspX devices. So, do devices like these: SYBA SD-CM-UAUD USB Stereo Audio Adapter http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812186035 Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Amigo II USB Interface Sound Card & Headset Adapter http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829118008 StarTech ICUSBAUDIO USB to Stereo Audio Adapter Converter http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829128002 work under CentOS 6? Is there one that anyone can recommend? -G. -- Glenn Eychaner (geychaner(a)lco.cl) Telescope Systems Programmer, Las Campanas Observatory

Slightly OT: PCIe x16 card in x8 slot
by Glenn Eychaner 22 Aug '13

22 Aug '13

So, in the ongoing saga of the unusual 1U short-depth workstation, we have narrowed the field to two choices. Both entrants are configured with 16GB memory (4x4GB), two 2.5" drives (1x250GB SSD and 1x1TB HDD), and an NVIDIA NVS510 graphic card (quad display): 1) SuperMicro 5017R-MF, Xeon E5-2609 processor 2) SuperMicro 5017C-LF, Xeon E3-1220 processor (I wish SuperMicro had a list of their servers by chassis somewhere.) I have no preference between the solutions for right now, though I have a major concern with the second solution; the PCIe slot is only x8, and the NVS510 is a x16 card. The vendor assures me that a riser/adapter can be found to plug the card into the slot, and that it will work, but I am highly concerned about the performance. I know nothing about PCIe (I haven't built a system in 10 years, though I have read the PCIe Wikipedia entries and some guides); what kind of performance hit can I expect? Also, are there any solutions I have overlooked? Thanks again, -G. -- Glenn Eychaner (geychaner(a)lco.cl) Telescope Systems Programmer, Las Campanas Observatory

http://www.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/yum-repo/ is the city-fan.org repo master; you will likely want to us the University of Seville mirror at http://nervion.us.es/city-fan/yum-repo/ . Do note that installing these packages will replace what could be considered core portions of the system; you're on your own as far as support is concerned, in other words. I did not check if the version of cdrtools there is the absolute latest; it wasn't when I first found this repo, which is why I rebuilt from the source RPM (using the latest cdrtools upstream source and slightly modified city-fan spec file; city-fan updated not long afterwards, and this package has been recently updated, as recently as this month). k3b and other tools can use this package just fine; while there are some neat features that k3b and other GUI frontends don't expose, that's ok for most purposes. You can add your own command line parameters in the k3b setup. But the EL6 version of k3b is quite old at this point. YMMV, you break it you keep the pieces, etc.

Problem with DHCP and default route in CentOS
by Joshua J. Kugler 21 Aug '13

More browsers!
by Beartooth 21 Aug '13

21 Aug '13

I'm running CentOS 6 on one machine, plus my wife's. She's OK with it, but every time I use it, I miss the glorious plethora of browsers that Fedora has gotten me used to. I have epel and rpmfusion (both free and unfree) enabled; is there some other repo I can safely add? -- Beartooth Implacable, Curmudgeonly Codger Learning Linux On the Internet, you can never tell who is a dog -- supposing you care -- but you can tell who has a mind.

Triple- or Quad-display single-card graphics solutions
by Glenn Eychaner 20 Aug '13

20 Aug '13

So, after some discussion of our new control workstations, we are iterating in on a solution; we are looking at a 1U short-depth SuperMicro SuperServer 5017R-MF with a graphics card in the PCI-Ex16 expansion slot. However, the display requirements have increased to 3 or more monitors for future expansion, so I was wondering whether anyone had any experience with triple- or quad-display single card solutions. Thus far, I have found two promising solutions: NVidia NVS 510 or 450 Matrox M-series M9138 or M9148 Both these solutions claim to have Linux support, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with them in CentOS 6.4? And if there were any other solutions I had overlooked? Thanks, -G. -- Glenn Eychaner (geychaner(a)lco.cl) Telescope Systems Programmer, Las Campanas Observatory

mail server: sendmail with integrated AD
by Riccardo Castellani 20 Aug '13

20 Aug '13

I'm preparing my new Sendmail mail server with pop3s + smtps where user authentication occurs through Microsoft Active Directory by Winbind daemon. OS is Centos 6.4 and Sendmail is 8.14 Mailboxes will be in this server but how to create them !??! It's necessary to add user by 'useradd' command into /etc/passwd or It's only necessary add new entry in '/etc/aliases' file for every AD user like in following example ?! mark.landers: marklanders - 'marklander' is the user account in Microsoft AD - user mail is 'mark.landers(a)example.com' POP3s the account name (AD user), which I'll use to access my mailbox by pop3s, must have the same name of mailbox file ? According to previous example: if I wanted to download email of 'mark.landers(a)example.com', in my client I shall have to type 'marklanders' with its password, so my requirement is to have this mailbox file into my mail server: <mail path>/<user> for example: /var/spool/mail/marklanders I think pop3S WILL SEARCH mailbox with the same name of account name ! What do you think ?

Really Weird Question.....
by Eddie G. O'Connor Jr. 20 Aug '13

20 Aug '13

So I just got ahold of an old e-Machine (Model EL1600) with 1GB of memory. I was going to install CEntOS on it and try to run VirtualBox for other OS'es. I am curious to know if I have to stick with the 2GB "max" the specs say the machine can take or if its possible to install a 4GB module that is designed the same? In other words I have seen 2GB DDR PC2700 memory that will fit the casing and work, but I have ALSO seen 4GB DDR PC6400 memory modules with the same number of pins (240) will this work? I would want to have as much memory in there that will allow the VirtualBox to run smoothly.....any help would be appreciated! EGO II

Re: [CentOS] qemu-kvm package?
by Gene Poole 19 Aug '13

19 Aug '13

Let me say that your question does not match your subject. I run a 32-bit CentOS with virt-manager installed to monitor the virtual machines running on a 64-bit CentOS. That leaves the following: Is it because I'm running CentOS 5.9 in both cases? Or is it because I performed a full install from a DVD in both cases? That being said, It's a fact that virt-manager will run on a 32-bit OS. Thanks, Gene Poole

Xyratex disk units
by Tony Schreiner 19 Aug '13

19 Aug '13

I am wondering if any one knows of a way to manage Xyratex disk shelves from CentOS (in particular CentOS 4). More details: Some years ago I installed a NAS unit from Exanet which consists of 2 rebadged IBM x3650 head nodes and a couple of Xyratex disk shelves with a total of 96 TB of raw disk, connected by fibre channel. The operating system is based on CentOS 4.4, but is modified, and runs a proprietary file system. It has pretty good performance and I'm happy with it. You may know that the company went bust some years ago, so I have been running this system unsupported. I am loath to give up the disk space though. The two things I worry about are, the fibre channel connection and the external disk trays. Unfortunately, what I know about fibre channel is very little. They are emulex HBAs, and I guess there used to software called lputil, but this is no longer available at the Emulex site. It has been replaced by something called HBAnywhere, but I have not succeeded in building that on CentOS 4. Uprading the OS is out of the question I would think while maintaining the file system capability. And the other question is how to manage the LUNs on the Xyratex's. I'd be grateful for any info anyone has on either. Tony Schreiner

Red Hat CEO: Go Ahead, Copy Our Software
by Robert Arkiletian 18 Aug '13

18 Aug '13

http://www.businessinsider.com/red-hat-ceo-go-ahead-copy-our-software-2013-8 Title says is all. Nice to know RH understands and accepts the relationship between CentOS and RHEL. Although it is complex. After all, if too many choose CentOS, there may no longer be a CentOS. However, I don't think I would refer to CentOS as a "parasite" as the author Matt Asay does. More appropriate to call it symbiotic. Is the relationship a 50/50 affair? Not sure. Complicating matters even more is Oracle Unmistakable Linux.

Back-up connection
by Timothy Murphy 18 Aug '13

18 Aug '13

Some weeks ago, I asked if anyone had set up a backup scheme for a remote server. By backup here, I mean an alternative arrangement that can be called upon if eg the DSL connection to the remote machine fails. I received one interesting reply: ====================== At home, besides my fixed lines, I have two gsm-modems, one low-speed (that came free of charge with one of my fixed lines), the other is high speed, but pre-paid, normally off) ====================== I meant to respond at the time, asking for further details, but forgot, and now I have lost the original message. So now I am posting again, asking if anyone has implemented any such arrangement. If you have, I would be very interested to hear the details. In my case, I spend time in two countries - Ireland and Italy - and have servers in each place. The problem in both places is that the ADSL modem sometimes goes off, and the only way to turn it back on seems to be to disconnect and re-connect the power supply. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

OT: laptop recommendations for CentOS6
by carlopmart 17 Aug '13

17 Aug '13

Hi all, First of all, sorry for the OT. I need to buy a new laptop for my work. My prerequisites are: - RAM: 6/8 GiB (preferably 8 GiB) - Processor: Core i7 - Disk: up to 500 GiB for SATA, 128 GiB for SSD. - Graphics card: Intel HD (I really hate to use Nvidia or ATI Radeon graphics cards). The most important tasks will be: - Surf the web :) - Read email - And the Most important task: I need to install complete virtual test labs on it using KVM, Xen and VMware suites to run several different types of OSes: RHEL, CentOS, OEL, Solaris-like, BSD, Windows 2012/2008 R2, etc. Any suggestions?? My first choice will be Toshiba or Lenovo laptops and of course it needs to be 100% compatible with CentOS6 (or almost at 95%). Thanks.

If the threat of such consequences aren't a restriction, what would be? I realize that Red Hat does, in fact do more than required in other areas so this is just a philosophical point, but I don't see how their treatment of binaries meshes with the letter of the GPL. I also realize that since CentOS and other derivative distros rely on the 'more than required' parts (non-GPL'd parts, source in easily reusable form, etc.), it could all go away on a whim, just like the freely redistributable binaries did, so even if you are happy with today's scenario, there's no reason to expect it to last. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

They are not considered differently in terms of restrictions you can apply or adding to 'works as a whole' in copyright terms. If the distribution of any part of a work is only permitted by the GPL and you don't follow the GPL terms (say, by adding restrictions of your own), you would not be permitted to distribute at all. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

Everything is about derived works. So binaries cannot be exempt from the requirement that the work as a whole can only be distributed under a license that permits free redistribution and that additional restrictions cannot be added.

minimal X applications needed to export to remote server?
by Joseph Spenner 16 Aug '13

16 Aug '13

I'm running a piece of network backup software called 'bacula', on a minimal CentOS 6.4 install. I got everything working pretty well, but there's one piece giving me some problem-- a component which gives status info via a GUI. In the past, on previous installations, I could ssh to the bacula server with the -X option, and run the application (called 'bat'), and it would display back. I'd have to make sure the sshd_config permits Xforwarding, but that was all. On my new CentOS 6.4 minimal, I always get: bat: cannot connect to X server I tried the usual tricks of exporting the display to my system where I want to see the GUI, which shouldn't be necessary anyway due to the 'ssh -X', but I thought I'd give it a shot. Still no go. I figured something was missing, since it is a minimal install, with no X. So I installed 'xlogo', thinking maybe all the X stuff needed to display that would be installed. By installing xlogo, I got a bunch of X stuff, including: xorg-x11-apps-7.6-6.el6.x86_64 I also have: libXau-1.0.6-4.el6.x86_64 libX11-1.5.0-4.el6.x86_64 libXrender-0.9.7-2.el6.x86_64 libXcursor-1.1.13-2.el6.x86_64 libXft-2.3.1-2.el6.x86_64 libXxf86vm-1.1.2-2.el6.x86_64 libXi-1.6.1-3.el6.x86_64 libXmu-1.1.1-2.el6.x86_64 libXaw-1.0.11-2.el6.x86_64 libX11-common-1.5.0-4.el6.noarch libXext-1.3.1-2.el6.x86_64 libXfixes-5.0-3.el6.x86_64 libXdamage-1.1.3-4.el6.x86_64 libXrandr-1.4.0-1.el6.x86_64 libXinerama-1.1.2-2.el6.x86_64 libXv-1.0.7-2.el6.x86_64 libXt-1.1.3-1.el6.x86_64 libXpm-3.5.10-2.el6.x86_64 But I still get the error.

RocketRAID cards (actually, solved)
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 16 Aug '13

If anyone's got old RocketRAID cards, I just had to deal with one. They are years behind in updating their drivers - googling, I find the last time some were supported was CentOS 5.2. At any rate, I have just managed to build 1.8 of rr232x successfully, and am building filesystems on the drive as I type. I d/l the compressed tarballs from HighPoint's site. The changes to make it compile were: 1. /* if (bdev && blkdev_get(bdev, FMODE_READ, 0 __BDEV_RAW)==0) { # Above for < 2.6.28 */ if (bdev && blkdev_get(bdev, FMODE_READ)==0) { Note that the last two parms from the original call were removed. 2. /* blkdev_put(bdev __BDEV_RAW); (or, in another case, just BDEV_RAW) # above < 2.6.28 */ blkdev_put(bdev, FMODE_READ); 3. In osm_linux.h, their definition redefines what the Linux header files say. I made the following change. Note that I wanted to make sure IRQ_HANDLED was defined, presuming it's in use elsewhere, and I'm making minimal changes to the code. /* #ifndef IRQ_HANDLED */ #ifndef _LINUX_IRQRETURN_H 4. In osm_linux.c, I changed from the first line below to the second. /* SCpnt->result = ((DRIVER_INVALID|SUGGEST_ABORT)<<24) | (DID_ABORT<<16); */ SCpnt->result = ((DRIVER_INVALID|TASK_ABORTED)<<24) | (DID_ABORT<<16); Again, some defines are long gone. I chose TASK_ABORTED because it had the same hex value as SUGGEST_ABORT, 0x20, and seemed appropriate. Then it was cd into rr232x-linux-src-v1.8/product/rr232x/linux/, make clean, make, make install. The install does the depmod and modprobe. mark

But regardless of how much you care about my opinion, can you seriously say that you like the fact that the community of free users that helped take the Red Hat product from something that barely worked up to the fairly robust and usable 7.x version has been split into a set that favors stability using CentOS where there is really no way to contribute improvements and the wild and crazy fedora set that doesn't care about stability or maintaining compatible interfaces across versions. With the fedora set driving new development... -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

Their product is support and not software. I think we all know that rebuilding SRPMS and development are different worlds but that doesn't mean that the community wouldn't come together to continue moving it forward. I know I'd try to help... The biggest challenge would be in developing the next major iteration but for a product already deep into its cycle like CentOS 6 it wouldn't be very difficult at all. It may shed a number of CentOS users on the front end, but a large number of them would come back.
