using KVM Virbr0 with bonded nics?
by Bob Hoffman 25 Oct '11

25 Oct '11

Interested in bonding my 2 on board nics along with my add on card NIC for a total of 3. How would this work with the virtual machines? My eths/IPs ---> bond0, bond0:1, etc ---> ? ----> virbr0,virbr0:1 (each machine to have own IP address, one machine may have some virtual sites needing more than one ip, so multiple ips added to mix..) add something to the bond0 file, or just leave it alone and mess with the virbr0 files? I heard something about network manager not liking bonding and bridging... anyone do this kind of thing?

How to remove a Trash folder from a mounted ntfs partition
by James B. Byrne 25 Oct '11

25 Oct '11

CentOS-5.7 using fuse-ntfs-3g I have a HDD from a laptop that is being returned for repair replacement. I wish to remove certain files before sending the laptop back with the HDD. I have mouunted the HDD on my desktop as an ntfs filesystem using an external SATA / USB adapter. As root I then used the gnome desktop to move the desired files to trash. Now I wish to delete the contents of the trash folder and the folder itself. This I cannot do. I have tried deleting using rm -rf ./.Trash-root but the command simply has no effect. It raises no error and it does not remove the Directory or its contents. For convenience I renamed the directory to DeleteME using move, which worked. As expected through, all attempts to remove DeleteME still fail silently. The permission bits are set thus: dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 488 Oct 21 10:54 DeleteMe I have tried chmod -R 777 DeleteMe but this has no effect on the permissions. How do I get rid of this thing? I realize that after the trash directory is removed I will still have to over-write the unused space on the drive to scramble the contents but I cannot get to that stage until I free the space. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Netapp like snapshots using Centos 5/6 direct attached storage
by Scott McKenzie 24 Oct '11

24 Oct '11

Hello, I'm researching the best method of providing about 20 users in a production environment the same functionality as they would have on a Netapp NFS share. The O/S I will be using is CentOS 5 or 6 (max flex on which one) and the hardware is a disk array directly (12 SAS disks 7TB un-configured brand new) attached to a HP 580 G 7. I've done some reading on ZFS on Linux ,fuse-ZFS, BRTFS ,rsnapshot, snapFS. Any one have some advice or experiences to share? Thanks, spuds

Centos 6 - named with internal zone file and forwarding
by Giles Coochey 23 Oct '11

23 Oct '11

Hi All, I have two Centos 6 servers running BIND. I have configured the two servers to run internal zones as a master / slave setup. My gateway runs DNSmasq and I would like all other requests for lookups to be sent to the DNSmasq system. I have added the following: forward first; forwarders { 172.16.0.1; }; Where 172.16.0.1 is the host running DNSmasq. For some reason I still cannot resolve anything outside my network. Any pointers? Thanks Giles

Live CD boot for KVM guest. How?
by Müfit Eribol 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

Hi, My host and guest are CentOS 6. The guest is going to be a web server in production. I am trying to resize (extend) of the base partition of my guest. But I can of course start the installation of CentOS 6 guest all over again with a larger image size. However, just for the sake of better understanding I an trying to solve things not to be end up in a dead end after some years. 1. I created a guest CentOS 6 with 12G total disk (on a iscsi drive). No Desktop, just for terminal use. No LVM, just a simple basic partitioning. 2. Later I wanted to increase the size of total image to 200G. 3. I managed to resize the image to 200G on my iscsi drive. So, there is 188G unallocated/unformatted volume within the guest image. Now, the hardest part. I have to resize the partition. I have been trying to find a way to do that. A search on Google showed that GParted is tool to do that. I had to install all Desktop and X as Gparted is a GUI tool. Installed vncserver. Then, I found out that GParted can not resize the live guest. So, I downloaded GParted Live CD. Now, the questions: 1. If it was a physical machine I would boot from the CD. If I can boot it from host CDROM but then how should I operate on a specific guest? What is the easiest way to access GUI of the guest if I boot from Live CD. 2. I am wondering if a simple LVM route at the beginning would be preferred. Changing size of the iscsi volume on my NAS is easy. I thought there was no need for more complication, so went with basic /boot / and swap partitions. Is resizing partitions for LVM easier than basic partitioning (without LVM)? 3. Is there a specific tool in KVM suit which performs resizing partition within the image? Or as I prefer command line tools, is there a way to achieve resizing without any graphical tool like GParted? With GParted I had to install all the X and Gnome files, vncserver which otherwise I don't need. I would appreciate any information/hint/experience. All the best.

What replaces /sbin/hotplug in CentOS 5?
by Robert Heller 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

What subsystem replaces /sbin/hotplug in CentOS 5? The older hotplug package is missing from CentOS 5 and /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug yields an empty string. Since hotpluging for standard devices still seems to work, I presume that something replaces the hotplug helper found on CentOS 4. Can someone point me in the right place? All of my Googleing points me back to the (obsolete?) /sbin/hotplug subsystem (Google is just not being helpful!). I'm guessing udev and/or HAL are involved somehow, but I am having a hard time figuring out what I need to do. Specificly, I have a special USB device (a PI Engineering Rail Driver Console device) that I have written a daemon for that I need to launch when the device is plugged in and when the device is unplugged, the daemon needs to be killed. For CentOS 4, I used a script fired up from the /sbin/hotplug via /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap -- what to I use for CentOS 5 (and eventually CentOS 6)? -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 / heller(a)deepsoft.com Deepwoods Software -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ () ascii ribbon campaign -- against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org -- against proprietary attachments

Missing stuff in /bin
by Mikko Koivunen 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

Hi all Having a weird issue with CentOS 6. I lost a lot of stuff in /bin/ (cp,rpm,cat and others) on one host, but that was a development machine and I'm not really sure what happened there. But now I ran into a similar problem (missing at least /bin/vi and /bin/cp) on a host where I'm a lot more certain of all that has been done on the machine. This is what happened, it's a _complete_ list of what I have done on the host: - installed centos 6 from dvd .iso, into esxi 4.1 vm - selected "web server" as base packages in install - configured network interface - configured some variables in /etc/profile.d (with vi - note this later) - installed mysqld and some php packages - created a backup script in /etc/cron.daily (just does mysqldump and /var/www gzip'ing) - removed postgresql - put some data in mysql db + apache documentroot - ran yum update - tried to configure an apache virtualhost - noticed that vi is missing - noticed that /bin/cp is missing as well - coreutils & vim-minimal are installed according to rpm Yum.log shows that during the yum update vim-minimal was updated, coreutils not, no package removals visible. Can't see anything in dmesg, root's history, /var/log/secure, /var/log/messages that would explain this. No one else has access. I am certain I have not accidentally removed the files.. Anyone seen anything similar? I'm a bit hesitant to say it's a bug or claim that yum update is to blame, because then I'd think a lot of folks were bitten by similar problems. regards Mikko Koivunen

CentOS 5.7 Ethernet bonding - order of enslavement matters?
by whitivery 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

Setting up bonding in active-backup mode 1 (using ARP monitoring) on a server, it looked OK, but pulling the active link cable didn't actually work, it didn't fail over. Eventually with manual playing around with modprobe, ifconfig, ifenslave, etc., a solution was stumbled upon: enslave the eth1 device before eth0, and all is good. Why this should matter is a puzzle - I could not find anything in bonding.txt or on the web about it. I had to change ifup-eth to fix the problem. Any ideas on why the enslavement order matters, or a better solution to work around it? The rest of this post is details. To fix this, I had to patch /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-eth to reverse the order when it is updating the sysfs slaves list. A 1-line change, from: for device in $(LANG=C egrep -l "^[[:space:]]*MASTER=\"?${DEVICE}\"?" /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*) ; do to: for device in $(LANG=C egrep -l "^[[:space:]]*MASTER=\"?${DEVICE}\"?" /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* | sort -r) ; do With that change, everything works perfectly. I don't like this solution (changing standard system files) but it seems like the best one for now, and should not break anything. Maybe it's the particular network devices. Platform is VIA M850 running CentOS5.7 64-bit, original content from DVD (no yum update done). Eth0 is the onboard device, using an updated VIA Velocity driver (velocityget 1.42 instead of default via-velocity): 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6120/VT6121/VT6122 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev 82) Eth1 is a Linksys (Cisco) USB300M USB-Ethernet dongle, using asix driver: Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0b95:7720 ASIX Electronics Corp. AX88772 Modprobe.conf: alias eth0 velocityget With the network service enabled (NetworkManager disabled), this is my setup: ifcfg-bond0: DEVICE=bond0 BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=10.6.0.90 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=10.6.0.1 BONDING_OPTS="mode=active-backup arp_interval=300 primary=eth0 arp_ip_target=+10.6.0.1 arp_ip_target=+10.6.0.2" ifcfg-eth0: DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=10.6.0.90 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=10.6.0.1 HWADDR=00:1F:F2:03:FA:45 MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes ifcfg-eth1: DEVICE=eth1 BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=10.6.1.90 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=10.6.0.1 MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes HWADDR=58:6d:8f:3d:8d:4f

Backup live system
by ken 20 Oct '11

20 Oct '11

Though I've worked with enterprise systems, I'm not familiar with FOOS backup software. Which of those recommended would allow me to backup a system while users are active on it? If it matters the system uses LVM. I'd also like to be able to avoid needing the network if possible. That is, I'd plug in a disk into a USB port and backup the system onto that... again, while the system is live. Thanks much. -- War is a failure of the imagination. --William Blake

C6 compatible wireless printers?
by nux＠li.nux.ro 20 Oct '11

20 Oct '11

Hi, Any success stories with C6 and wireless printers? Or maybe horror stories and what products to avoid? I'm looking at some HPs on amazon right now, some quite cheap, ~ £50, not bad. Ideally they should have easy to refill cartridges. Thanks.

Silly logrotate question
by John Kennedy 20 Oct '11

20 Oct '11

Ok, I have Googled this and either I am not asking the right way or I just can't see what's in front of me (sorry)... We have log files called app.2011-10-119.log (with the date changing every day). The log is created by the application each day at midnight. I have logrotate set to rotate files ending in .log at 4am, with copytruncate on by default. If I list the files I see all the old app.2011-10-<X>.log files with a 0 file size. If I turn off copytruncate, the current days log file will be removed everyday at 4am. How can I satisfy both the need to remove yesterday's log file while keeping the current day? Here is the logrotate file: /var/log/app/*.log { daily rotate 10 compress missingok notifempty create 0644 user user } I added notifempty to keep the old empty log files from being compressed... Thanks, John John Kennedy

[HW] Do the HDD cages in rack mount chassis indicate visual/audio HDD failure?
by Arun Khan 20 Oct '11

20 Oct '11

I have no personal experience with rack mount chassis. >From the past postings, I reckon there are members, in this list, who have experience in rack mount setups and would like get their advice. To reduce the H/W cost, I am considering Linux mdadm RAID10 on a 2U chassis. I would appreciate clarification on the following: In rack mount chassis, do the cages that house the hard disks have the following feature? (a) Indicate disk failure. LED lights up and/or audio alarm? (b) The failed HDD can be swapped. TIA. -- Arun Khan

network mapping software
by Jure Pečar 19 Oct '11

19 Oct '11

Hi all, I'm looking for network mapping software that would walk the local subnet and using snmp/cdp/nmap & friends produce a picture of network connections for documentation purposes. I've seen some for wintendo, but haven't found any decent for linux and CentOS specifically. Something like cheops-ng.sf.net would fill my needs, but before I start a fight with 5+ years old code to get it compiled, I'd like to hear what you guys are using. -- Jure Pečar http://jure.pecar.org http://f5j.eu

Is there something that could have triggered this between 6.0 and 6.1? This server was updated to 6.0 CR around the same time this began happening, so I want to make sure if it's an issue in CR that I can file a useful bug report. When updating selinux-policy, do I have to update all the RPMs listed or will that one package suffice? Thanks - Trey

L9 - what is true?
by Jussi Hirvi 19 Oct '11

19 Oct '11

This code: boolean(null); ', '; boolean(string); ', '; boolean(integer);', '; boolean(array); ', '; boolean(map); ', '; gives: false, false, false, true, true This is different from L8. Is this intentional? If so, why? This has consequences which I think are counterintuitive: if(array(1) -> find('whatever')); This evaluates as true. - Jussi

Xfce from minimal install
by Johan Vermeulen 19 Oct '11

19 Oct '11

Dear All, because I have a lot of older machines and laptops (512Mb) I would like to use Xfce. So I installed CentOs 6 from the normal netinstall cd and selected minimal ( just over 200 packages). From there I enabled EPEL repo and did : #yum groupinstall Xfce after that I installed Xorg and the driver for Intel ( it's on a Dell laptop ) after startx I get a get a lot of gnome-session warnings; 'Unable to find provider 'gnome-panel' of 'gnome session: Pango warning ' and many more. So can anyone help me make further adjustments? thanks for any tips in advance. greetings, James Opensource Software is the future.

CentOS 6.0 i386 DVD
by William L. Maltby 18 Oct '11

18 Oct '11

Anybody have tricks to write the i386 ISO image to DVD? I've tried DVD+-RW, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD-R in both Windows 7 (two different writers) and rebooted into CentOS 6 (x86_64) and tried cdrecord (now called wodim). On wodim I've tried overburn, reducing speeds, etc. All give the same results: the same number of bytes are written - indicating the disc is full (according to my calculations) and wodim exits thinking it had a buffer underflow problem. I had no problem creating the x86_64 install DVD, which is smaller, and installing it next to my Windows. I just plug in a usb thumb drive and hit <ESC> when I want to run CentOS there and it works fine. The inability to create the i386 DVD initially prevented me from trying to install a desktop system on an old Acer running 4.8 (hasn't been booted in ... nearing a year?). I got around that by deciding to put the iso image on an external usb drive, exporting it via nfs and doing a network install. It had been so long since I dinked with any of this stuff it took me a couple of days of googling around, reading man pages, ... to get that working. Mostly having to do with iptables ports not being open. Sheesh! Black Hats create a lot of grief with their shenanigans! Anyway, then it panics when it starts writing the hard drives - I'll post another mail on that. Anyway, my life would've (will be) a bit simpler if someone can clue me in to how to get that image onto a DVD using either CentOS 6 or Windows. Checksums pass. Any hints gratefully accepted. TIA, Bill

Yes, I can boot the Supermicro system from a previously formatted 500Gb disc that already has CentOS-6 installed on it. Further, if I install the 1Tb disk, now formatted and with CentOS installed courtesy of the other host, then the Supermicro system also boots from it. > What I'm looking for is whether you have a hardware > problem, either m/b or drive... or controller card. It does not appear to me to be hardware related, at least not directly. I suspect a bug in Anaconda. There are reports of a similar issue in Fedora last year and the bug was supposed to have been fixed in June of 2010, if indeed my problem is the same thing or something related. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

CentOS-6 install on 1 Tb drive fails
by James B. Byrne 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

I am attempting to load CentOS-6 onto a ST31000524AS 1Tb SATA drive in a Supermicro 5015A-EHF-D525 system. The BIOS sees the drive and the CentOS install process sees and initializes it as well. However, even when I accept the default partitioning, I get an error during the drive formatting prior to installing the OS. The error message is: "Could not commit to disk /dev/sda". I get this error whether the drive is configured as IDE or AHCI in BIOS. The advanced BIOS configuration section makes reference to LBA addressing and a maximum value of 137 Gb. However, I had previously equipped this very system with a 500 GB SATA drive and had not experienced any problems. Does anyone have any idea as to what might be happening here?

L9 - what is a value
by Jussi Hirvi 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

This code: var('i') = string; boolean($i); ' '; var('i') = array; boolean($i); ' '; gives: > false > true So an empty array gives "true" but an empty string "false". This is different from L8. Is this intentional? If so, why? This has consequences which I think are counterintuitive: var('i') = array(1); if($i -> find('whatever')); i 'true'; ' '; $i -> find('whatever'); ' '; /if; The if clause evaluates as true and gives as output: true array() - Jussi

SELinux triggered during Libvirt snapshots
by Trey Dockendorf 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

I recently began getting periodic emails from SEalert that SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm "getattr" access from the directory I store all my virtual machines for KVM. All VMs are stored under /vmstore , which is it's own mount point, and every file and folder under /vmstore currently has the correct context that was set by doing the following: semanage fcontext -a -t virt_image_t "/vmstore(/.*)?" restorecon -R /vmstore So far I've noticed then when taking snapshots and also when using virsh to make changes to a domain's XML file. I haven't had any problems for the 3 or 4 months I've run this KVM server using SELinux on Enforcing, and so I'm not really sure what information is helpful to debug this. The server is CentOS 6 x86_64 updated to CR. This is the raw audit entry, (hostname removed) node=kvmhost.tld type=AVC msg=audit(1318634450.285:28): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=1842 comm="qemu-kvm" name="/" dev=dm-2 ino=2 scontext=system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c772,c779 tcontext=system_u:object_r:fs_t:s0 tclass=filesystem node=kvmhost.tld type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1318634450.285:28): arch=c000003e syscall=138 success=no exit=-13 a0=9 a1=7fff1cf153f0 a2=0 a3=7fff1cf15170 items=0 ppid=1 pid=1842 auid=4294967295 uid=107 gid=107 euid=107 suid=107 fsuid=107 egid=107 sgid=107 fsgid=107 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="qemu-kvm" exe="/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm" subj=system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c772,c779 key=(null) I've attached the alert email as a quote below, (hostname removed) Any help is greatly appreciated, I've had to deal little with SELinux fortunately, but at the moment am not really sure if my snapshots are actually functional or if this is just some false positive.

CentOS 6.0: panic installing i386 on old Acer Desktop
by William L. Maltby 16 Oct '11

16 Oct '11

Well, after much trial and tribulation I got to the point I could nfs mount the CentOS 6.0 i386 iso image and try an install. So I stuck in the net install CD (latest from CentOS), mounted the nfs iso image and gave it several shots. It goes swimmingly until I click "write disks". Then there's a kernel panic. This with both the graphic and text mode installs. As mentioned, I've not yet researched/figured how I might capture this from my KVM. I've got some 5.x and 6.0 (with cr updates) and windows units available on my homegroannetwork LAN if there's a way to do it over a network. I've got some old serial cables (and various null modem ones and/or adapters) and Wyse-60 terminals but I don't even know yet if I can boot this with output to a serial port. I'll be checking that. If someone has figured out how to capture the output in my situation during initial system install, I'm all "ears". The system still boots the old CentOS 4.8 (first boots in around a ... year(?)) and I did dmidecode and a couple other short commnds that I hope is enough for someone to offer further direction or suggestions. Apologies for the size but it's been so long since I did any low-level stuff I was afraid I'd snip something important. I tried, based on *old* memories, adding kernel arguments of noapic and nolapic (IIRC). Still no joy.

Virtual host package, command line, I need help
by Bob Hoffman 15 Oct '11

15 Oct '11

I am at wits end with this KVM. It is hard to get the information needed to do this properly with centos 6 and KVM since it is so new and the googling of 'KVM' brings up everything except kernel based virtual machines. What I have done... 1) my cpus have virtualization 2) centos 6, selected 'virtual host' package 3) it goes to command line 4) I have made virtual guests with virt-install, in LVM folders, not images 5) 'cannot display' is all I get from command line The packages installed seem to have many gnome and vnc rpms. (and x-windows stuff too) Virt-manager was installed but only produces errors when run from command line I am unable to get anything past getting the guest running since I cannot open any kind of display. I have been able to easily do this in a gnome desktop, but figure command line is going to be less overhead for the server. I have added --vnc and tried some other things, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get a graphic or text install to come up on the local machine to save my life. With all the gnome packages (and there are quite a few) that were installed with the 'virtual host' package I figured something would come up, but all attempts have failed miserably. I am stuck in command line with no way out. I do plan on putting up a step by step video when I finally get one working, but after a few days of this (and seeing hundreds of websites with others having the same issue) I am wondering if anyone has ever got it working and what they did? This is just a pure install of centos 6, 'virtual host' package, command line, yum updated, able to make guests, no video options working for me. what is the magic command to bring up some of that gnome stuff for virt-manager or to just see the install window for a guest?? any help appreciated and most welcomed. Thanks.

PAM unable to dlopen(/lib64/security/pam_fprintd.so)

Hello the logwatch from my CentOS 6 / 64 bit machine (minimal install, with permissive SELinux) keeps reporting me: **Unmatched Entries** PAM adding faulty module: /lib64/security/pam_fprintd.so: 9 Time(s) PAM unable to dlopen(/lib64/security/pam_fprintd.so): /lib64/security/pam_fprintd.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory: 9 Time(s) I've found this bug report - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=656434 But I'm not sure what's the best workaround for me - if I'm just running an Apache (Drupal) + PostgreSQL website? Should I install fprintd-pam (got that from "yum whatprovides") Thank you Alex

List, Is it possible to do a text install (<512RAM) of C6 server, with support for X11 forwarding over ssh, and get geany (editor) to work over ssh?

pvresize on a cLVM
by Antonio da Silva Martins Junior 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

Hi, I'm needing to expand a LUN on my EMC CX4-120 SAN. (Well I already had done it). On this LUN I had a PV of a cLVM VG. Know I need to run pvresize on it. Has anybody done this on a cLVM PV ? I'm trying to rescan the devices, but I can't "see" the new size. And, googling on it I can only find RHEL5.2 responses.

Centos 5.7 - bridging firewall crash (only since the update) - dmesg output included - Trying to vfree() nonexistent vm area (ffffffff885d9000) ....
by Morgan Cox 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

Hi. We have several Centos 5 firewalls in our company - they are all in bridging mode. We updated them to the latest Centos 5.x last night. 4 hours later there was a crash.. (previously it had never crashed - and had been running for at least 1.5 yrs) The crash occurred when someone added a rule, after rebooting it was fine - the thing is it can't have been a bad rule as the first thing the server does is load the firewall (same) rules.. In /var/log/messages I can see:- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: Trying to vfree() nonexistent vm area (ffffffff885d9000) Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: WARNING: at mm/vmalloc.c:329 __vunmap() Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: Call Trace: Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: [<ffffffff800a8b6b>] sys_delete_module+0x1b3/0x1d4 Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: [<ffffffff8005d28d>] tracesys+0xd5/0xe0 Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Followed by (a few times) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: WARNING: at mm/vmalloc.c:97 vmap_pte_range() Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: Call Trace: Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: [<ffffffff884e7000>] :iw_cm:iw_cm_init_qp_attr+0x0/0xb1 Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: [<ffffffff800d3e04>] map_vm_area+0x216/0x306 Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: [<ffffffff80001ff8>] _stext+0xff8/0x1000 Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: [<ffffffff800d4219>] __vmalloc_area_node+0x134/0x15c Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: [<ffffffff800403a4>] load_module+0x961/0x19f5 Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: [<ffffffff800a2dfd>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x2e Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: [<ffffffff8000e0aa>] do_mmap_pgoff+0x3d7/0x780 Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: [<ffffffff8000e2e8>] do_mmap_pgoff+0x615/0x780 Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: [<ffffffff800b9c60>] audit_syscall_entry+0x1a8/0x1d3 Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: [<ffffffff800a92f0>] sys_init_module+0x5b/0x206 Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: [<ffffffff8005d28d>] tracesys+0xd5/0xe0 Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: WARNING: at mm/vmalloc.c:97 vmap_pte_range() Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: Call Trace: Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: [<ffffffff800d3e04>] map_vm_area+0x216/0x306 Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: [<ffffffff80001ff8>] _stext+0xff8/0x1000 Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: [<ffffffff800d4219>] __vmalloc_area_node+0x134/0x15c Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: [<ffffffff800403a4>] load_module+0x961/0x19f5 Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: [<ffffffff800a2dfd>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x2e Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: [<ffffffff8000e0aa>] do_mmap_pgoff+0x3d7/0x780 Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: [<ffffffff8000e2e8>] do_mmap_pgoff+0x615/0x780 Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: [<ffffffff800b9c60>] audit_syscall_entry+0x1a8/0x1d3 Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: [<ffffffff800a92f0>] sys_init_module+0x5b/0x206 Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: [<ffffffff8005d28d>] tracesys+0xd5/0xe0 Oct 13 09:27:46 new kernel: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any ideas what caused this ?

Hello List, i am new to Centos and did my first install on a server. I got it working that also looks inzo the epel repositorie. Now i want to install DRBD. But yum search drbd returns me only a package i dont need. Do i have to enable the epel-test repo to get itß But test sounds not stable for me and we switched to centos for stability. anyone here can help me or give me any hints on drbd on centos 6? Do i have to compile by hand? marko

CentOS 5.7 PHP upgrade
by dev＠nkmo.com 13 Oct '11

I have 3 servers 2 of which run CentOS 5.5, and one with 5.7. I was able to easily upgrade the PHP version to PHP 5.3.8 on the CentOS 5.5 boxes but was thwarted on the 5.7. Does anyone have any tips for how to get PHP 5.3.x installed on CentOS 5.7?

A SATA backplane likely will have a signal bus connector (Suoermicro server backplanes do) but onboard controllers probably won't supply the other end Built servers definitely will as john points out. Better hardware RAID HBAs probably shoild have the complimentary signal bus connector. Make sure your system builder or supplier gets you the right cable bits - i'm pretty sure they're not universal. - csawyer
