Looking for experiences with filesystem choices....
by Tom Bishop 21 Mar '10

21 Mar '10

Lots of opinions out there and I have read and read, so I have a home server that I have finally setup with a hot swap hdd cage and what I am planning on doing is copying my data drive every other day and rotating them offsite, haven't figured out how often though. So I did my first test last night and the backup drive was formatted with ext3 but looking to try to speed things up and was wondering what would be my best choice. Most of my data is on VM's and the hdd files on some of them are quite large, I have used JFS and reiser in the past and was leaning on going with JFS but am tempted to look at XFS. So what I was wondering are what are folks experiences (instead of opinions) with different filesystems and while I want speed it needs to be reliable since it will be my back up data....running centos 5.4 x64 Thanks in advance...

How to add virtio modules automatically to initrd in CentOS4?
by Felix Schwarz 21 Mar '10

21 Mar '10

Hi, I migrated a physical CentOS 4.8 server into a VM on a CentOS 5 KVM host. Everything works fine, I even can use the paravirt drivers for network and disk. However the required kernel modules are not put into initrd somehow. Of course I can call "mkinitrd --with virtioblk ..." manually but that's too easy to forget. I searched the web but I didn't find any similar reports... I found some references to /etc/sysconfig/mkinitrd/ but this doesn't work for me. So how can I make sure that the initrd always includes the virtio stuff? fs

Multipath and iSCSI Targets
by Joseph L. Casale 20 Mar '10

20 Mar '10

Just started messing with multipath against an iSCSI target with 4 nics. What should one expect as behavior when paths start failing? My lab setup was copying some data on a mounted block device when I dropped 3 of 4 paths and the responsiveness of the server completely tanked for several minutes. Is that still expected? Thanks, jlc

Add default quirk to pm-utils (CentOS 5.4)
by Martin Jungowski 20 Mar '10

20 Mar '10

I've installed CentOS 5.4 on my new Lenovo Ideapad S12 (Atom-based 12" notebook) and need to add a quirk to pm-suspend in order for the laptop to actually go to sleep. There's a couple of quirks that work just fine so I really don't have a preference. I found several instructions but most of them have failed me because CentOS's pm-utils is too ancient. Newer versions come with a parameter that adds the quirk to hald automatically, the CentOS version of pm-utils does not have this function yet. I've tried adding a /etc/pm/ config.d/99local config file with DISPLAY_QUIRK_VBE_POST="true" and a /etc/ hal/fdi/information/99local-pm-utils-quirks.fdi manually to no avail: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>   <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <merge key="power_management.quirk.dpms_on" type="bool">false</merge> <merge key="power_management.quirk.dpms_suspend" type="bool">false</merge> <merge key="power_management.quirk.vbe_post" type="bool">true</merge> <merge key="power_management.quirk.vbemode_restore" type="bool">false</ merge> <merge key="power_management.quirk.vbestate_restore" type="bool">false</ merge> <merge key="power_management.quirk.vga_mode_3" type="bool">false</merge> </device> </deviceinfo> But nothing seems to work. Running pm-suspend does not do anything, running pm-suspend --quirk-vbe-post puts the Laptop to sleep. Any ideas?

[OT] Small touch screens that works with CentOS
by Pascal Robert 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

Hi, We want to display on a small LCD screen next to our meeting rooms and optionally let people book the room from the panel. We looked at different providers and those solutions either works with Exchange or Lotus Notes... Since I already have code to fetch events from any CalDAV/WebDSV servers, I'm looking at building the system myself. So I'm wondering if any of you can recommend small LCD screen that works well with Linux (the app would be a full screen Web app, browser have to be Gecko or WebKit based), and even better if the screen can have « touch buttons » (so that people don't have to use a physical keyboard to book the room), that's even better. I guess my other option would be a iPad. -- Pascal Robert probert(a)macti.ca AIM/iChat : MacTICanada LinkedIn : http://www.linkedin.com/in/macti Twitter : MacTICanada

How to disable selinux protection interfering with pppd? I tried audit2allow, but policy does not load. Is there an seboolean?
by Aleksey Tsalolikhin 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

CentOS release 5.4 (Final) I run pppd on this system, it accepts dial-in connections, logs people in over ssh/sftp. I had selinux disabled on this system originally, but I recently enabled it, and selinux is blocking this pppd service. "audit2allow -M" has generated the following policy based on AVC denial messages: module fixdialinserver 1.0; require { type pppd_t; type shadow_t; type chkpwd_exec_t; class file { read execute }; class netlink_audit_socket create; } #============= pppd_t ============== allow pppd_t chkpwd_exec_t:file execute; allow pppd_t self:netlink_audit_socket create; allow pppd_t shadow_t:file read; However, I am unable to load this module due to conflict with another policy: # semodule -i fixdialinserver.pp libsepol.check_assertion_helper: assertion on line 0 violated by allow pppd_t shadow_t:file { read }; libsepol.check_assertions: 1 assertion violations occured libsemanage.semanage_expand_sandbox: Expand module failed semodule: Failed! # Is there an seboolean I can tweak to allow me to load this policy?

MySQL max clustering package?
by jchase 18 Mar '10

18 Mar '10

Can anyone tell me what the scoop is on this? I read that CentOS was releasing the enterprise/cluster capable MySQL in the CentOS-Plus repo's but I don't see it there. I don't want to use the mysql.com packages (if they are even available -- didn't they stop supplying the binaries for this to the public)? I'm trying to setup failover, load balancing clustering of MySQL.I'm a bit confused on what the current story is for doing this. Thanks, James

cron.hourly runs twice
by Timothy Murphy 17 Mar '10

For some reason I cannot fathom, cron.hourly runs twice each hour on one of my two CentOS-5.4 systems, as reported in /var/log/cron: ------------------------- Mar 16 14:01:01 helen crond[27833]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) Mar 16 14:01:01 helen crond[27834]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) ------------------------- On the other it just runs once, as expected. ------------------------- Mar 16 13:01:01 althea crond[23373]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) Mar 16 14:01:01 althea crond[23553]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) Mar 16 15:01:01 althea crond[23695]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) ------------------------- This doesn't have any bad effect, but it does run the scripts in /etc/cron.hourly twice. I just wonder if anyone has come across this curiosity? Or can suggest any possible cause. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Back to apcupsd
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 17 Mar '10

17 Mar '10

Ok, so another apc UPS 3000 complained about bad batteries, and I changed them out from the same order that I'd gotten in a couple of months ago. The APC SmartUPS 3000 started connecting and disconnecting the USB connection. I brought down and up the service, no joy. Finally, after googling, I found a *completely* undocumented way to start apcupsd, that a few years ago someone was told to try, so as to log debugging info, to send to a developer: apcupsd -d1000 -T I've just skimmed the man page, and the online docs, and there is *no* mention of either parm. I found nothing in the logs. However, when I kill -HUPped it, and restarted the service, the USB stuff had stopped. Ok, one problem down. The change battery light's still on. I'll see if it still is in the morning. One thing I did note, while skimming the docs, and comparing my results from apcaccess, was that while the nominal voltage for the APC SmartUPS 3000 is 48V, the new batteries are showing 55.4V. Anyone have any idea if this could be why the replace battery light's on - it's more than 5V difference? mark

I would use iostat -x and see if there is a disk or group of disks that show abnormal service times and/or utilization. Are there any errors in the logs? How are the disks configured? Software raid? Is the adapter's firmware at the latest revision? Was .128 kernel running stock drivers?Is .164 kernel running stock drivers? (maybe weak-updates from .128 kernel?) What IO scheduler is this? Default CFQ? I would move this discussion to 'CentOS Users' as that is the more appropriate list for this. -Ross

APIC error on Intel Atom CPU, CentOS 5.x
by Bill Campbell 17 Mar '10

17 Mar '10

I am seeing ``APIC error on CPU3: 60(60)'' warnings from dmesg periodically on a CentOS 5.4 box, kernel 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5. The CPU is an Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU 330 @ 1.60GHz. I am not a hardware type, and don't have a clue what this means. This is occurring while an rsync-3.0.4 process is receiving data sent by a machine running rsync-3.0.7 (I just updated the CentOS box to rsync-3.0.7 since noticing that it was a bit dated). This is the only significant load on this machine at this time. This machine has locked up requiring a hard reset twice while this rsync process has been running at night with no problems at other times. Any suggestions? Thanks.

CPU Upgrade
by Kevin Kempter 17 Mar '10

17 Mar '10

Hi all; I have a Dell 2900 with a single Quad core chip and an expansion slot for a second Quad core chip. I have CentOS 5.4 installed on the server now. If I add the second Quad core chip do I need to change anything per the install? Do I have to re-install the OS? Or will CentOS simply see the second chip once I reboot and just work? Thanks in advance

fuse filesystem mount issue
by fred smith 17 Mar '10

17 Mar '10

Hi! I'm using the ntfs-3g module for my portable USB hard drive on Centos 5.4. When I plug it into my centos box it mounts fine, but its owned by root and nobody but root has permission to write to it. I've been perusing the ntfs-3g and fuse man pages (and other docs) and they all seem to say that the default settings should be to allow RW access to everyone. but that isn't what I'm getting. Mount says this: /dev/sdd1 on /media/SeagateUSB type fuseblk (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) but right-click/properties on the desktop icon shows no write permission if yer not root: onwer: root, group: root, and all the "folder access" lines are greyed out. How would one approach solving this problem?

Unable to remove interface (5.4)
by Jason Gates 16 Mar '10

16 Mar '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 So here is my problem: I'm unable to remove an interface on CentOS 5.4 (/etc/init.d/network restart keeps enabling it again) Background: The system had several interfaces set (eth0 eth0.6 eth0.7 eth0.8) 1.) I added a test interface...eth0.9 2.) but later deleted the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.9 file (since i no longer needed it) 3.) I then did ifconfig eth0.9 down 4.) I then setup eth0.7 with the same IP address settings that eth0.9 had. 5.) Upon a restart of /etc/init.d/network all the interfaces come up including eth0.9 This obviously causes a problem...are there any recommendations how to remove this "deleted" interface? Many thanks! Side note: rebooting the computer isn't an option. - -Jason -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.14 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAkuf6LoACgkQ3BaZWzk6Q2eVugCg1gi6W19J9F2UTKyA+3nPVWqk evwAniLKv2Vx4qZI7ITZC4wZ+AJ2Vj5A =Mvtr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Whether need to run CentOS Certification test suite to get the CentOS logo
by zhang hualan 16 Mar '10

16 Mar '10

Howdy, I have searched related information on the CentOS website, and only get the answer "Except for CentOS CD/DVD ISOs, you may not use CentOS logos on merchandise without an individual agreement with the CentOS Project.We need to approve the use of the logos and will require that you donate a percentage of your total sales on items using the CentOS logos in this manner". But I'm still not sure whether CentOS have certification test suite and we need to run it first, such as we can get Redhat "hardware certified logo" if we pass the RedHat Certification test suite,eg V7. Thanks for your attention Donna

How can I access a ZIP file that's over 2Gb?
by Stephen Harris 16 Mar '10

16 Mar '10

I have a zip file. It is over 2Gb in size: -rw-r--r-- 1 sweh sweh 2383956582 Mar 13 13:44 test.zip The standard "unzip" program barfs: % unzip -l test.zip Archive: test.zip End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of test.zip or test.zip.zip, and cannot find test.zip.ZIP, period. This is because the info-zip utilities can't handle ZIP files over 2Gb in size. Windows can access it just fine. Anyone have any recommendations on a unix tool that'll let me access these large files? -- rgds Stephen

mailman and postfix on CentOS
by David Mehler 15 Mar '10

15 Mar '10

Hello, I'm trying to get postfix and mailman going on CentOS 5.4. I had this working previously, six to eight months ago, and shut it down since the need for use was no longer there. I've now reactivated mailman and set up a list. The software versions I'm using are httpd 2.2.14, postfix 2.3.3, and mailman 2.1.9. All the services are started, the list is created, and email is sent to the list owner. The problem is reply addresses for subscriptions are being sent to mailman(a)domain.com rather than mailman(a)lists.domain.com as i want. In the email all the email addresses point to mailman(a)lists.domain.com except for the reply to header that goes to as i said mailman(a)domain.com. The lists.domain.com is a subdomain dedicated to the mailing list.The mailman newlist command correctly creates list aliases in /etc/mailman/aliases file. Any ideas? Thanks. Dave.

Kernel Panic with wl.ko (Broadcom wireless driver) [CentOS 5.4]
by Martin Jungowski 14 Mar '10

14 Mar '10

Been experimenting with CentOS 5.4 some more. In order to get my wireless card to work (Broadcom BCM4311) I need Broadcom's wl.ko driver (http:// www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php) It compiles fine after the necessary modification in typedef.h, loads and wireless works. However, as soon as I put some load on that interface (scp something from another machine, download something with Firefox, etc.) the machine kernel panics. I've tried the stock 2.6.18 kernel, the latest 2.6.18-164-11, and the latest patched 2.6.18-164-11-bug4139.4192.4196 (necessary to get my ALPS touchpad to work). I've tried two different versions of Broadcom's driver: 5.10.79.10 and 5.60.48.36. It doesn't kernel panic when I unload the wl kernel module, plug in a network cable and copy those files over ethernet. I downloaded the 2.6.27 kernel source and compiled my own kernel and it seems to work with that. However, for some weird reason, with any given self-compiled kernel (tried 2.6.18-8, 2.6.25 and 2.6.27) klaptop won't allow me to configure any standby/hibernation options because it doesn't recognize any of them. They do work perfectly fine though, I can pm- suspend the laptop from command-line. Any idea what else I could do? Either getting wl.ko to work with 2.6.18 (does somebody have a version older than 5.10.79.10 that they could email me?) or getting klaptop to realize that the laptop does indeed know how th suspend and hibernate with a non-CentOS-kernel would be fine.

mailman on CentOS with multiple virtual hosts
by David Mehler 13 Mar '10

13 Mar '10

Hello, This isn't exactly CentOS specific, but it does reference the CentOS way of doing things, so offlist replies might be better. I'm running a CentOS 5.4 server with postfix as MTA with virtual mailbox domains. I have set up a mailing list server lists.example1.com using apache virtual hosts and the mailman rpm. Now i want to add a second one call it lists.example2.com and am not sure how to pull this off. If anyone has a multiple virtual host setup i'd be interested. Thanks. Dave.

Hi, Does anyone know how I can monitor our server's for blacklisting? We run a large amount of shared hosting & reseller hosting servers and from time to time one of the IP's will get blacklisted. I'm looking for a way to be notified if any of our IP's get blacklisted. Is this possible? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

drbd-kmdl packages question
by Nicholas L. Soms 12 Mar '10

12 Mar '10

Dear collegues! I've got one question about drbd-kmdl packages. As I can see at $ rpm -qp --qf "%{DESCRIPTION}" kmod-drbd-8.0.16-5.el5_3.i686.rpm This package provides the drbd kernel modules built for the Linux kernel 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5 for the i686 family of processors. So, the question is - kmod-drbd is for kernel 128.4.1 (or build for this kernel version), but current kernel is 164.11.1. Does that means that kmod-drbd should be rebuild for each kernel or it works vell without rebuild? -- Best regards, Soms N. L. _______________________
