anyone else having flash trouble?
by fred smith 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

On my centos 5.7 system, using Firefox 10.1, suddenly flash videos have stopped working, like, today. they worked yesterday. Now all I get is an error message that the flash plugin has crashed, reload page and try again. strangely, my centos-6 machine using the same firefox and the same flash plugin works fine.

LDAP encryption, not sure.
by Fajar Priyanto 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

Hi all, I'm setting up a local LDAP server with a pass-through authentication to another LDAP. I'm not clear about the encryption. Say the case is like this. CompB is set to have LDAP authentication. A ---> SSH ---> CompB ---> Local LDAP:389 ---> SASLAUTHD --> Global LDAP: 636 1. Password on the SSH session would be encrypted, isn't it? 2. How about when it goes to the local LDAP:389, would it be encrypted? Thank you. Fajar.

question on unused directories in /usr/lib and /usr/lib64
by Craig Thompson 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

I was working on archiving an old virtual server today and was reminded of how much space is wasted by some of the default installations on CentOS. I think this was a 5.x box. Anyway, in /usr/lib/64 (and probably /usr/lib on non-64 systems), there were a lot of directories which have no bearing on a basic server. I saw firefox, openoffice and many, many other directories -- replete with enough files to seriously affect backup space over time. Does anyone have an available script or list of commands for removing most or all of these "generally unused" directories, packages or whatever they are? I found something a while back for shutting off unused services, but this seems to be a gaping hole in available archives. Thanks. CT

OT: Anyone out there using Openfreezer?
by Alan McKay 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

If so, could I ask you a few questions? I am in contact with their tech support as well but I think someone here could be more helpful if they are using it. My questions are technically OT for this list since it pertains to moving from RHEL 5.7 to Ubuntu 11.11 Though it is really about Python / Apache config. -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

Centos 5.7--desktop icons are now a blank sheet of paper with the .desktop filename and they don't work
by fred smith 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

Just rebooted my box (switched keyboards, and since it's a PS/2 keyboard, it needs to be done at poweroff) and when it came back up, (almost) all the desktop icons I've created (as distinct from the ones that came with the system) now don't display correctly. Instead of the graphic assigned to each, it's just a picture of a blank sheet of paper with the corner folded over, and the icon text is the name of the .desktop file that defines the particular item. worse, when I click one, they don't work... I get a popup window containing this text (when attempting to fire up a local rebuild of Audacity, or the appropriate name when attempting to use one of the other ones): The filename "Audacity (local build).desktop" indicates that this file is of type "desktop document". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type "desktop configuration file". If you open this file, the file might present a security risk to your system. Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or received the file from a trusted source. To open the file, rename the file to the correct extension for "desktop configuration file", then open the file normally. Alternatively, use the Open With menu to choose a specific application for the file. I don't really know what settings could have changed, but the ownership and permissions look reasonable to me: the files in my ~/Desktop folder look like this: $ ls -l total 88 -rw-rw-r-- 1 fredex fredex 305 Jul 9 16:15 Audacity (local build).desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 fredex fredex 859 May 22 16:24 bar-008d741c23.desktop -rw-rw-r-- 1 fredex fredex 376 Nov 11 09:16 Firefox-4.desktop -rw-rw-r-- 1 fredex fredex 311 Nov 10 14:00 fred's desktop on cibf-fred1pc.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 fredex fredex 442 May 27 19:53 gegl-00efc0b78f.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 fredex fredex 981 Oct 30 2009 greasy-00f830171b.desktop -rw-rw-r-- 1 fredex fredex 288 Jun 25 2010 Osmos.desktop -rw-rw-r-- 1 fredex fredex 369 Jul 10 23:14 Pysol-FC.desktop -rw-rw-r-- 1 fredex fredex 378 Feb 22 2011 quadra.desktop drwxrwxr-x 2 fredex fredex 4096 Jan 27 2011 radio stations -rw-rw-r-- 1 fredex fredex 359 May 24 21:14 razorsql.desktop and the Desktop folder's permissions are: $ ls -ld Desktop drwxr-xr-x 3 fredex fredex 4096 Oct 25 15:03 Desktop note that the Desktop folder contains a subdirectory named "radio stations", and that its representation on the desktop looks correct. but when I click on it to open up that folder, all its contents are also broken in the same way.

corrupted /etc/mtab
by Dvorkin, Asya 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

Hello everyone, It seems like we have a corrupted /etc/mtab file and I just wanted to check that my plan of action is correct. df -k returns: df: cannot read table of mounted file systems: No such file or directory ls -la mtab: ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? mtab messages full of errors: EXT3-fs error (device cciss/c0d2p1): ext3_lookup: unlinked inode 847444 in dir #846977 I would like to fsck / partition, but, obviously, can't do it on a live system. The plan is to touch /forcefsck and to force fsck during reboot. Please let me know if you see a problem with my plan or have any other suggestions. Thank you, Asya

bug in repo affecting perl
by Blake Hudson 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

I seem to running into the following bug when attempting to perform a yum update: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5322 I have been skipping perl to move on. However, I am unable to update perl to the latest i386 release due to what appears to be a mistake in the centOS repo. The CentOS mirrors have the following: http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/perl-5.8.8-32.el5_6.3.i38… http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/perl-5.8.8-32.el5_6.3.x… http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5/updates/i386/RPMS/perl-5.8.8-32.el5_7.6.… http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5/updates/x86_64/RPMS/perl-5.8.8-32.el5_7.… *http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5/extras/x86_64/RPMS/perl-5.8.8-32.el5_6.3.i386.rpm* ??? When I run a "yum list perl" or "yum update perl.i386" all I see is 5.8.8-32.el5_6.3 in the extras repo. It seems like this file shouldn't even exist. If I disable the repo my yum finds nothing for the i386 release of perl, even though the RPM is present in the updates directory. Could a maintainer of the repository please put some emphasis on this 2 month old bug? Thanks, --Blake

QEMU configuration not persistent
by Emmett Culley 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

Since switching from CentOS 5.7 to CentOS 6.x I find that one of the VMs will not restart upon system reboot. I finally figured out that the video is always set to vmvga after rebooting. In addition the VM's storage always reverts back to IDE from virtio and is set to use the wrong image. It may be related to the fact that I moved the XML files that defined the VMs from the old (CentOS 5.7) /etc/libvirt/qemu directory to the new (CentOS 6.2) /etc/libvirt/qemu directory. The images are stored is the same LVM partitions as they were on the CentOS 5.7 Any ideas why a VM would revert back? I've checked the XML file before rebooting and it always has the correct info in it, until after the reboot. Emmett

schily tools
by Joerg.Schilling＠fokus.fraunhofer.de 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

Let me comment some questions in one single mail: > My basic requirement with what I'm doing is to use standard tools and > formats so that archives I write today can be readable in 10 years. Star becomes 30 in 4 months, any archive created since it's early beginning in summer 1982 can still be read back. > I don't think there is any such general consensus. Are you reading > something that favors Solaris/*bsd over GNU based systems? Schily tools (and in special star) implement support for Linux specific extensions. This is what you do not get from gtar at all. So why do Linux distros prefer gtar even though there is no Linux support? > I doubt if they are as well maintained in linux distros as the GNU > tool set, particularly in terms of having recent fixes backported into > the versions carried in enterprise distros. gtar still did not fix bugs I reported in 1993 (e.g. the bug that causes gtar to complain with "skipping to next header" even on it's own archives). I am thus sure that star not not worse than gtar.... > It shouldn't matter if you don't use either of the version's > extensions, and for archiving you probably don't need them. For > example, star and GNUtar use very different concepts for incremental > backups - star is sort of like dump and must work on filesystem > boundaries where GNUtar's --listed incremental needs a file to hold > state but will work on arbitrary directories and can span mount > points. But for archiving, you probably only care about the maximum > size of a file it can handle. When I implemented incremental restores for star in September 2004, I wrote a simple script for a incremental testcase and tested the deltas with ufsdump/ufsrestore, gtar and the star version at that time. Gtar was unable to deal with my testcase, so I stopped testing it any further. If you like to discuss incrementals, you definitely need to discuss behavior at restore time and restoring incrementals definitely does not work correclty with gtar if you renamed directories. Star is used to do incremental backups/restores on a dayly base in Berlios since September 2004. Since Spring 2005, not a single problem was seen, so there are more that 2500 successful incremental restores that verify no problem even under stange conditions. > I don't think so - I'm fairly sure I've seen GNUtar complain about bad > headers, say 'skipping to next header' and then find something. It > won't do that if you used the -z option because you generally can't > recover from errors in compression. But, I've never seen a tape drive > recover from an error and continue past it anyway so in practice > that's not going to matter. If you are concerned about errors, keep > more copies. This problem is not caused by compression or not, it is a general gtar bug that I reported in 1993 already. Nobody knows why it hits and the structure of the gtar sources makes it really hard to debug this problem. The FSF was interested to throw aywa gtar and replace it by star 10 years ago for this kind of problems in gtar. > afio is an archiver (available from third-party repos, not base) which > can compress yet still recover--it basically compresses each file > individually instead of compressing the entire archive, so the file > might be unrecoverable but the rest of the archive is still intact. > I use it for my tape backups (though your point of not knowing if > it'll fit on the tape is valid). Be careful with what you believe. The CPIO archive format in general is worse with resyncing to a defective archive that TAR is. Also note that afio greates arhives that may start to be non CPIO compliant somewhere in the middle. So you can never know whether you are able to restore with anything other than afio. What if afio does not compile on your new platform because it is no longer maintained? Also note that the POSIX standard dropped CPIO as an actively supported archiveformat because (different from TAR) any extention to CPIO results in creating a new incompatible archive format. The following other problems are known with gtar: - gtar is with aprox. 5% probability unable to read it's own continuation archives from multi volume archives. This cannot be fixed as it is caused by the concept used for multi volume archives in gtar. - gtar created archives with defective sparse file until a few years ago (up to ~ 2005) in case a file was bigger than a few GB. - gtar has much less features than star - gtar does not inlcude libfind, so there is no support for the find(1) command line syntax in gtar. - gtar needs aprox. 3x more CPU time as star Jörg -- EMail:joerg@schily.isdn.cs.tu-berlin.de (home) Jörg Schilling D-13353 Berlin js(a)cs.tu-berlin.de (uni) joerg.schilling(a)fokus.fraunhofer.de (work) Blog: http://schily.blogspot.com/ URL: http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/ ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schily

iptables nat PREROUTING chain
by Nataraj 14 Feb '12

14 Feb '12

Is there a way to add a rule to the nat table (CentOS 5.7) that would alter the port number of tcp packets destined for the server itself? I have ip_forwarding enabled, but the packets don't seem to hit the prerouting chain. I have the following redirect rule in the prerouting table. I also tried DNAT, but if the packets don't hit PREROUTING, it won't work either. iptables -t nat -L -v -n Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT 16079 packets, 896K bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 0 0 REDIRECT tcp -- * * 10.10.10.0/24 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:25 redir ports 12345 aspen 2# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward 1 Thanks, Nataraj

Dovecot problems
by Steve Campbell 14 Feb '12

14 Feb '12

Actually, I'm having problems with pop and imap. I changed mailservers this weekend, going from a Centos 3 box to a Centos 6 box. The Centos 3 box used the old standard imap and pop servers. We use horde for our webmail. The pop3 mailboxes (mbox) were in /var/spool/mail and the imap folders were in /home/user/mail, which horde took care of. Upon starting the Centos 6 box, I ran into tons of login and viewing problems. I tried Cyrus for imap, could log in, but couldn't see mail in the imap folders. Using dovecot for pop, I eventually could get logged in, but kept getting the "couldn't open INBOX" message, so no one could download their email, even though sendmail was delivering it properly. So here's my question: Can (should) dovecot be used for both imap and pop when considering the above setup of mbox in /var/spool/mail and imap folders in ~/mail? Horde will read the mbox to display new messages in it's screens. If so, does anyone have a pretty good link to how to make dovecot function using the old Centos pop/imap scheme? Should I try and convert the old mbox files to another format or destination to make this work? Thanks for any help. It's been a long night, going on about 14 hours now and I'm just getting the old server back to current until I figure this out. steve campbell

my notes on bond, bridge, network, kvm, host and virtual so far
by Bob Hoffman 14 Feb '12

14 Feb '12

I put this page together just so I won't spam the board anymore begging for help..lol http://bobhoffman.com/vmissue.html This shows a working effort of bonded eths, bridged into a vm, and a few other things. The only missing thing is something on the host that ends up putting the VM internet connection into some kind of limbo. Whether it is hardware related, bug related, libvirt nat related, I don't know. I will only post here on this issue again if it ever gets solved. At this point the server is a no go and getting shelved until I can find a tech that knows this stuff and can fix it. right now: unsolvable. I may just put some websites on the host computer until I can find a reliable way of keeping the virtual guest connection 100% up. Hope this helps someone wanting to bridge or bond. bob

MySQL/file system question
by Boris Epstein 14 Feb '12

14 Feb '12

Hello listmates, I got a rather strange situation that I can't quite make sense of. OK, I've got a very large data file to sort (hundreds of millions of lines) and I decided to use MySQL for the purpose. I inserted the stuff into a table easily enough. Then I decided to sort it and got stuck as it turned out that MySQL, unless specifically configured to do otherwise, puts temporary files in /tmp which simply was not sufficiently large. Then I changed that directory to a partition that had more space (let's call the new temp driectory /home/big-temp) and now as I am running the query aimed at sorting the data it seems like space, according to the df, is no longer being used up under / (which was there /tmp was) but is now being used up in the right partition ( /home, the large one). Yet /home/big-temp is still empty! So how is that possible? I know there are all kinds of file locking possible depending on the circumstances, file system type, etc - but how can it be that the files, if they exist, are not even visible to ls, even "ls -a", even run by root? Thanks in advance for any clarification. Cheers, Boris.

oops, or how to bring a datacenter router down with one setting
by Bob Hoffman 14 Feb '12

14 Feb '12

so I gave up on bonding. I found about 300 posts showing eth0 and eth1 both pointing to br0 (bridge) as interfaces. I followed them correctly, or so I thought. I pointed both ethx to the bridge, restarted network and bam...!!! entire ip block went out. when I called datacenter they told me the router was under attack and I was like 'uh oh' and told them to just shut off my computer I would be there to fix it. They did not believe me. An hour later I was there and deleted the eth1 point to the br0 and all was fine. Meanwhile they were all around the router trying to stop the attack. (it was just the router for me and others in that room....oops) I wonder if they will boot me from the center now? How is it possible that it did that so quickly? Such an easy way to bring down routers, wow, a hacker could have a field day. Apparently there is more to making to eth ports go to the same bridge than a simple point. I have since tried bridge_ports command as listed online, however that must be deprecated. I think I am just gonna stay with multiple bridges with one eth on each for a while until I can test this stuff in a safe environ. I never had a chance to recover, the second the network came up I lost all contact with my ip block. The ratelimit number got this high by the time I got there.

displaying user and group names in chroot sftp
by James B. Byrne 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

I am testing a chrooted environment for sftp using the internal-sftp subsystem. Now that I seem to have SELinux mostly out of the way, when I do an 'ls -l' after the sftp login I see only numbers for the uids and gids. When I was using scponly I simply had a local version of /etc/passwd and /etc/group but these are evidently not used by the internal sftp subsystem. Is there a way to get the internal sftp subsystem to deliver names instead of the numbers? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Anyone already tried to backport the latest ASPM kernel patch to 6.2?
by Michael Lampe 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

After going from CentOS 5.7 to 6.2, a lot of things turned out to be much better, but there are also quite some regressions. The most obvious one is power consumption on my notebook. It was notably lower before. The ASPM issue introduced in 2.6.38 was widely reported and discussed, and the 6.2 kernel has exacatly this code as a backport. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdi… So I started to experiment with the upstream patch: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=commitd… To make it apply, one needs to change 'pci_is_pcie(pdev)' into 'pdev->is_pcie'. One also needs to fiddle a little with the first chunk. I came up with the patch attached, but unfortunately the new kernel showed no improvement. Most probably I got something wrong. Anyone else here who tried this or is interested in sorting this out? Thanks, Michael

Perl Libraries
by Matt 12 Feb '12

12 Feb '12

Having troubles with perl libraries. Does everyone use yum to install perl modules on CentOS 5.x? I have installed the rpmforge repository. I am having terrible luck with installing libraries though. Needed Mechanize for one script but had all sorts of conflicts. Ended up installing mechanize manually from rpm and adding it to yum exclude. Right now I am trying to get Net::SSH::Perl installed and run this script: http://www.perlhowto.com/execute_commands_on_remote_machines_using_ssh Would think it would be as simple as 'yum install perl-Net-OpenSSH' but it does not work. It installs but perl complains when using it. Is it better to use CPAN instead of yum? For those doing a good deal of perl scripting what are you using to manage libraries? Any pointers would be great.

Can I get rid of i86 packages and libraries on an x86_64 virtual server?
by John J. Boyer 12 Feb '12

The server is a vpn with only 20 GB of storage. I would like to free up disk space. Even if I must keep some i86 stuff, I think I can get rid of the dev packages for it. Thanks, John -- John J.

Key auth question
by Jussi Hirvi 12 Feb '12

I have a problem getting key authentication to work with one remote user (git), even though it works fine for the remote user "root". The remote file .ssh/authorized_keys is identical for both users - I cp'ed it from the root account to the git home dir.

python26-memcached on centOS 5.5
by Anand Jeyahar 12 Feb '12

12 Feb '12

Hi, Is anyone here running memcached + python2.6 + django setup on a CentOS 5.5?? Am trying to set one up here and have trouble with the python26-memcached installation. So far i have installed (via yum): 1.python26 2. python26-memcached 3. libevent 4. memcached-devel Now when i try to run `import memcache` from the python2.6 shell i get an ImportError: No module named memcache. The python26 installation picks up other modules(django etc..) fine. So there's no configuration problem from python26 interpreter. I am not able to figure out the problem. Any ideas/suggestions? Is building from source my only way out??

TLS support on postfix
by Kumar Krishna 11 Feb '12

11 Feb '12

Hi List, I have a postfix server based on CentOS 5 in which I have been trying to add TLS encryption support for SMTP. From the localhost when I do an EHLO, following is the output [root@xxxxxxx ~]# nc localhost 25 220 xxxxxxx.xxxx.xxx.xx ESMTP Postfix EHLO localhost 250-xxxxxxx.xxxx.xxx.xx 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 41943040 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-STARTTLS 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN 250-AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-8BITMIME 250 DSN However from a remote location when I do the EHLO, the response does not contains STARTTLS, ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES and DSN krishna@L03:~$ nc xxxxxxx.xxxx.xxx.xx 25 220 xxxxxxx.xxxx.xxx.xx ESMTP Postfix EHLO localhost 250-xxxxxxx.xxxx.xxx.xx 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 41943040 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN 250 8BITMIME I have done some googling and found this might be because of the Cisco Router's "ESMTP Fix". However Can someone here tell me if there are any settings in master.cf or main.cf that might result in similar behaviour? Regards, KRiSHNA

Terminal settings with Putty?
by Lists 11 Feb '12

11 Feb '12

Trying to use Putty 0.62 (the most current version I can find) and when I use the c compiler, I see a bunch of terminal codes that obfuscate the output of the compiler. (Teaching my son some programming) Anybody know what I should be setting to what? It's pretty much a CentOS6 server set up with defaults. You can see what I'm talking about http://i.imgur.com/dpwLg.png Thanks in advance... -Ben

advice on bind/dns and many sites
by Bob Hoffman 10 Feb '12

10 Feb '12

hi all, currently my websites are sharing one server, also having bind running on that server for all of them. I am now breaking the sites on to different machines. So what would you do on bond/dns? I was thinking of making two servers as nameservers, one master, one slave, for all my domains. For resolution of the server itself I was originally going to make a recursive caching nameserver for the domains to go to. However, instead I was thinking of running bind as a caching server on each websites machine, with a couple extra points to online servers like googles (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) I was hoping to limit cpu/mem needs by putting the recursive/caching on a separate machine, but perhaps it is better to put it on each machine. what would you do?

advice on having php 5.2.x:
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby 09 Feb '12

09 Feb '12

Hi all, My goal is to have PHP 5.2.x on a centos virtual machine (LXC) Looking at the repositories: - 6.2 has php 5.3: ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.centos.org/6.2/updates/i386/drpms/ - 5.7 has php 5.1 ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.centos.org/5.7/updates/i386/RPMS/ I'll have to rebuild a source RPM in order to have what I want: - Which base should I install for a php 5.2 VM? 6.2 or 5.7? - Which release of CentOS had a php 5.2 source rpm that I could just rebuild without too much extra patching? Thank you all. Side note: For legacy projects, I'll also have to have a php 4, but there, no problem: ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.centos.org/4.9/updates/i386/RPMS/ has a php 4.3.9, so, no problem. The machines are simply development machines, on the LAN, in order to keep (very) old projects running if we ever have to get back on them. These are not for public or production use. -- RMA.

starting haldeamon on 6.2
by Jerry Geis 09 Feb '12

09 Feb '12

haldaemon on 6.2 is not starting for me. (so I cannot run X). doing dmesg and tail /var/log/messages refeals nothing. doing strace -fv service haldaemon start says that g_malloc_n is not found or undefined symbol What might I be missing? I am fully upto date with yum. (x86_64 ) Very puzzling. I have other boxes running just fine. Its just this one being stubborn. Any thoughts. Did a bunch of searching and seems like they are talking about titanium which I do not have. Thanks Jerry

python26-memcached on centOS 5.5
by Anand Jeyahar 09 Feb '12

09 Feb '12

Hi, Is anyone here running memcached + python2.6 + django setup on a CentOS 5.5?? Am trying to set one up here and have trouble with the python26-memcached installation. So far i have installed (via yum): 1.python26 2. python26-memcached 3. libevent 4. memcached-devel Now when i try to run `import memcache` from the python2.6 shell i get an ImportError: No module named memcache. The python26 installation picks up other modules(django etc..) fine. So there's no configuration problem from python26 interpreter. I am not able to figure out the problem. Any ideas/suggestions? Is building from source my only way out??

Eeek, my centos6 box won't boot after broken update, need help w/ yum
by wwp 09 Feb '12

09 Feb '12

Hello there, I think I've shutdown my box right in the middle of a yum update.. The latest kernel installed won't simple boot, and the old one can, but only in init 3 mode (tty). From a console, I wanted to complete the yum update and it suggested me to do a `yum-complete-transaction`. yum-complete-transaction tells me that 447 elements are left to run in 1 transaction, runs and show lots of "Removing <packagename> - ud from the transaction" then processes lots of stuff, and ends with listing lots of duplicate packages (mostly Xorg stuff) and.. and that's all. Same stuff if I start that command again. A `yum cleanup` doesn't change it. Any hint how I could get of that deadly loop? Regards, -- wwp

sar -n DEV does not show bonded interfaces
by Sean Carolan 08 Feb '12

08 Feb '12

Anyone know how to get statistics on bonded interfaces? I have a system that does not use eth0-3, rather we have bond0, bond1, bond2. The members of each bond are not eth0-3, rather they are eth6, eth7, etc. I didn't see anything in the man page about forcing sar to collect data on specific network interfaces.

Centos 5.6 3ware raid 5
by Ken Smith 08 Feb '12

08 Feb '12

Hi, I've seen comments about the poor performance of these cards with raid 5 configs. I have an old card with 3 x 500G IDE drives connected in raid 5 and I'm getting around 10mb/s write performance. :-( I'm seeing high iowait figures at times and associated very high cpu load average figures, probably because, under load, everything is stacked up waiting for the disks to actually do something. A non-raid sata disk in the same machine manages 70mb/s Does anyone know what the performance is like if I used the 3ware just as an IDE controller? I could then switch to software raid5?

PCIe AER support in 5.5
by Baylis, Neil 08 Feb '12

08 Feb '12

I have a question about getting PCIe advanced error reporting to work on 5.5. The info I need to start with is the following: 1) Is PCIe Advanced Error Reporting (including error injections) known to work in 5.5? 2) What configuration options do I need to select in order to enable it? I'm using the following configs: CONFIG_ACPI=y CONFIG_PCI=y CONFIG_PCI_DIRECT=y CONFIG_PCI_MMCONFIG=y CONFIG_PCIEPORTBUS=y CONFIG_PCIEAER=y CONFIG_PCIE_ECRC=y CONFIG_PCIE_AER_INJECT=y CONFIG_PCI_DOMAINS=y CONFIG_PCI_MSI=y I also have the kernel boot parameter aerdriver.forceload=y With this config, I see that the relevant devices appear to support Advanced Error Reporting (visible in lspci -v output). However, when I attempt to inject errors to them the injections fail for various reasons. None of them (out of about a dozen candidate devices) succeeds. The aer_inject facility is currently the only means I have of testing this functionality. Note that on the same hardware with a RHEL-6 based (2.6.32) kernel, the injections work correctly. I need to make them also work with 5.5. Before I go and track down those various errors, I want to verify that I have the right kernel and that it's configured correctly. The required code seems to be present in the kernel. I suspect there's something going wrong during driver initialization and device probing. Once again, I need answers to these two specific questions: 1) Is PCIe Advanced Error Reporting (including error injections) known to work in 5.5? 2) What configuration options do I need to select in order to enable it? Thanks, Neil Baylis

about major version upgrades
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

Hi all, In http://goo.gl/Krjfh I read: +++++++++++++++++++++++ Upgrading from CentOS-4 or CentOS-5: We recommend everyone run through a reinstall rather than attempt an inplace upgrade from CentOS-4 or CentOS-5 +++++++++++++++++++++++ Do you ever now if that advice will be up to date for the 6 to 7 upgrade? What is the preferred upgrade process if some want to upgrade inplace? I mostly run virtual guest in a one-VM-per-service (MySQL, php, Mail, DNS, NFS/SMB) basis, with a main + spare physical machine. I'm installing 6.2 on our dev servers and try to pre-evaluate the amount of work when 7 will be released. -- RMA.
