Centos as a file storage/backup destination (Advice)
by Roland Roland 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

Hello all, am considering setting up centos as a file storage/ backup destination for Mac's TimeMachine. all my users would get synced directly to specific folders on this machine.. needless to say space is of importance. where every user has an average 200 GB of data to b synced (entire system)... I have 27 users hence 27 *200 equals to almost 6 TB so I was considering getting either 4 * 1.5 TB or 6 * 1 TB to be used on one PIV with a 1 GB ethernet. but the thing is, I'm an expert with this! so I'm seeking your help.. is there any other way to do so ? is there any limitation hardware/centos wise for the amount of drives available on a system? is Motherboard available sata/ide slots is the only limitation? how about using a USB hub and plugging them as such? any advice is greatly appreciated thanks and excuse my newbie question. best, Roland

Nothing in iptables. Same config I have used for a long time. I regenerated my keys and all is well.

How Can I change CentOS CLI Screen Resolution to smaller text (without GUI)?
by Sam Acosta 09 Nov '09

Hi, I'd like to view the Screen resolution in smaller text on my server terminal. The server is not installed with any GUI so it's in plain text mode. Thanks.

kernel: target...SCSI
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

Folks, I've now got two systems that have been upgraded to 5.4, and that are sending out log entries like target2:0:0: FAST-80 WIDE SCSI 160.0 MB/s DT (12.5 ns, offset 62) with the only differences being the target. I see no errors per se in the logs. Googling shows posts with different offsets, and actual errors in the logs. Does anyone have any ideas why these systems are sending this out, and how I turn them *off*, if they're not errors? mark

Cluster server options?
by Scott Ehrlich 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

I have a 10 blade cluster of just hardware - I can install what I want, how I want. What options are there if I wanted to build the 10 blades as one large beast, but _NOT_ necessarily for someone doing grid-type work? Some users don't now how to program that way, but they'd like to have their program run on something that acts like a single processor, but a massive single processor with lots of memory. Some code is designed for a single, powerful workstation. I'd like this cluster to act as one powerful workstation. Thanks for insights. Scott

The EPEL mirrors for EL4 no longer have a headers directory, just repodata. This means that up2date has stopped working. Is this a problem with EPEL or with my system? Ron

GUID Partition Tables and Ext3 Partition Size
by Manish Kathuria 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

Hello, Does CentOS 5.4 support large ( > 2 TB) external storage devices using GPT (GUID Partition Tables), while the main OS resides on smaller hard disks using MBR. In this scenario, what can be the largest possible size of an ext3 partition (and filesystem) which can be created on the storage array under CentOS 5.4 ? Thanks, Manish

connection refused resolving - after 5.4 upgrade
by Rob Kampen 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

Hi all, prior to 5.4 upgrade, my two DNS servers would only get 'connection refused resolving .....' on rare infrequent occasions (once or twice a month) after upgrade to 5.4 I get 500+ per day. Google has suggestions for |logging category lame-servers null; ; ; |however this strikes me as severe overkill as it will mask genuine problems. Anyone else noticed this? Suggestions as to why or what is causing? Thanks Rob

Net-SNMP interfaces out of order
by Bob Puff＠NLE 08 Nov '09

08 Nov '09

Hello Centos People, I have a CentOS 5.3 box that had a total of 5 ethernet cards in it. It functions to share an internet connection with 4 different subnets. All works fine, except I'm noticing that my MRTG traffic graphs are wrong. Further digging with snmpwalk reveal that the order of the ethernet interfaces changes every time the machine is rebooted to a different order. For example, I currently see: IF-MIB::ifDescr.1 = STRING: lo IF-MIB::ifDescr.2 = STRING: eth3 IF-MIB::ifDescr.3 = STRING: eth4 IF-MIB::ifDescr.4 = STRING: eth0 IF-MIB::ifDescr.5 = STRING: eth1 IF-MIB::ifDescr.6 = STRING: eth2 IF-MIB::ifDescr.7 = STRING: sit0 Why is this not in proper order? Other servers seem to be ok. my snmpd.conf file has little, if anything as far as config. Is there something I need to put in there for persistence? Bob

Problem: NVIDIA C73 & 1440x900
by MIKE - EMAIL IGNORED 08 Nov '09

08 Nov '09

As mentioned in my previous thread, I can't get my Video card: NVIDIA C73 [GeForce: 7100/ nForce 630i] to display 1440x900 on my CentOS 5.4 on my HP Pavilion with monitor Dell E198WFPV. Googing around, I see that others have had this problem with the NVIDIA card. In one case, it was solved by gaining access to card parameters and setting them directly. I can't find a way to do this on my box. One solution might be to just insert another video card in the bus, and ignore the NVIDIA. Would this work? I have a card that I know works. Thanks in advance for your advice. Thanks, Mike.

administering an MS Windows partition under Linux
by Boris Epstein 08 Nov '09

08 Nov '09

Hi all, If I have a dual-boot machine (Linux and Windows) would I have any good tools under Linux that would allow me to look at the content of the Windows boot partition, administer it, clean up the registry, remove viruses if any, etc? The Windows installation seems to be so defective as to be quite useless so I am trying to think of a good strategy for dealing with the situation. Thanks in advance for any and all advice. Boris.

Question - Xen host, DHCPD and guest VMs
by Scot P. Floess 07 Nov '09

07 Nov '09

I have a question about a Xen host that runs dhcpd and installing guest/running guest VMs (that use DHCP)... On other hosts or hosts running VMs, they are absolutely able to get DHCP addresses no trouble... However, the fun begins when the machine I run dhcpd on is also hosting VMs. I can see in /var/log/messages the request and ack from dhcpd but the guest VM never hears it. If I should bounce dhcpd prior to a guest install or start a guest VM - everything works just fine. I'm guessing, perhaps, there is some iptables rule I need to set up? Based on the init scripts, dhcpd definitely starts before xend and xendomains and ultimately the xen bridge... Anybody know what I need to do :) I've been bouncing dhcpd in /etc/rc.local and starting any VMs there. Although annoying, I'd rather do it "right" so I can auto start my Xen guests... Thanks ahead of time! Scot P.

my cpanel can not shows up after running 'latest'.
by Ricky Tompu Breaky 07 Nov '09

07 Nov '09

Dear my friends... I am still new in CentOS. I use CentOS 5 for my new server with cpanel. I have installed the cpanel. The steps were: 1. cd /tmp 2. wget http://layer1.cpanel.net/latest 3. sh latest The installation show a message that the cpanel installation was completed. But I can not see the cpanel login form on my server, either: "http://WWW.MYWEBSERVER.COM:2082" or: "https://WWW.MYWEBSERVER.COM:2083". I thought it was just caused by my firewall so I open the ports with this way: 1. setup; 2. I chose the 'firewall menu'; 3. Allow incoming: ssh, www(http), secure www(https), telnet, samba, nfs4, ftp, mail, pop3:tcp infowave:tcp radsec:tcp gnunet:tcp eli:tcp sep:tcp nbx-ser:tcp nbx-dir:tcp . But opening the tcp ports does not make any change at all. Please tell me where my mistake. Thank you very much.

centos 5.3 install ncview X libraries error and netcdf header error
by Dave 07 Nov '09

07 Nov '09

I was trying to install software named ncview on a centos 5.3 box. ./configure command gave this error: Error, the X libraries and development headers must be installed for ncview to work! I was surprised that there were many google hits related to ubuntu, none for centos. So even though I eventually figured out what to do, I decided to share this with the list anyhow, so maybe next time I google that error I'll get this post. The X error message would have been much more helpful if it was more specific about what exactly is missing. "X libraries and headers" just covers too much territory. Google said the ubuntu flavored problem was solved by ./configure --x-libraries=/usr/lib64 (or wherever the necessary libraries are). After much finagling, I solved my problem by installing xorg-x11-proto-devel-7.1-13.el5 package (has headers in it) and using this command: ./configure --x-libraries=/usr/lib64 --x-includes=/usr/include/X11 That got past the X check, but then I got this error: checking for /sw/include/netcdf.h... no Fatal error: I cannot find the directory that holds the netcdf include file netcdf.h! A bit more digging and success with: ./configure --x-libraries=/usr/lib64 --x-includes=/usr/include/X11 --with-netcdf_incdir=/usr/include/netcdf-3 I'm still not sure exactly which X libraries were required in addition to the header package (xorg-x11-proto-devel-7.1-13.el5). Fedora has (used to have?) an rpm for ncview, I wish centos did. best, Dave p.s.

Its how you split > state and policy - puppet isnt all that great at state management but > does a great job of policy management and enforcement for that state. > > But then again it depends on how you play your setup, and exactly how > you define what 'management' really is. I am personally not that big fan of Puppet, as things are getting quite complex in large scenarios and as Puppet does not scale well (this has been improved in the latest version if you are using passenger instead of webrick). If you are willed to set up complex configurations with depends and variables, Puppet may be a good choice. In addition of Cobbler or TheForeman you will get provisioning functionality, too. IMHO you should also be familiar with Ruby, too. Spacewalk is one single tool for all Lifecycle Management task. It is capable of bare provisioning (using Cobbler integration), re-provisioning (using Koan), configuration management, errata generation and package management. It also scales quite well if you are using Oracle Standalone instead of XE. With PostgreSQL, a free database backend will be integrated in the near future. We are using Satellite/Spacewalk to manage about 2500 Clients and Servers. Best Regards Marcus

Right way to set IO scheduler on CentOS
by Amos Shapira 06 Nov '09

06 Nov '09

Hello, I'd like to set the io scheduler on some of the disks on our Dom0 (CentOS 5) to "deadline". The way I found to do this is with "echo deadline > /sys/block/sdb/queue/scheduler". What is the Right Way(TM) to set this automatically during boot? I sort of expected to use sysctl but it appears to only deal with pseudo-files under /proc/sys, not /sys. Also "sysctl -a" doesn't list such options. Searching the web also only comes up with the "echo" method mentioned everywhere. Is my only way to add some /etc/init.d script or /etc/rc.local line? Thanks, --Amos

I uploaded and tried to surf to this page: http://209.216.9.56/global_solutions/index.py?w=1024 but the code is displayed, not executed. Is it that I need to inform Apache that *.py files are to be interpreted by python? Please advise, and if easy, tell me what to do. TIA, Victro

SMART errors
by Michael A. Peters 06 Nov '09

06 Nov '09

I dumpster dived an older low end Dell (actually, found it in a field in a fresh dump pile). Case looked good, only flaws appeared to be missing cdrom bezel and the heat sink clamp was off (but not broken). After cleaning cpu/heat sink and fresh thermal paste, I found out why it was dumped - the internal hard drive was bad, and the optical drive is going bad. I had an old 80 GB Seagate and the optical drive was good enough to boot the boot.iso and do a network install, so I put CentOS 5.4 on it. It is working extremely well as a small headless server, but my Seagate drive has given some SMART errors. This is a drive that has been out of service for several years, I had 60GB worth of flac files on it, and had no trouble getting them off before formatting (and all matched their md5sum). It appears all the errors happen at boot - IE Error 10 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 1248 hours (52 days + 0 hours) When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was active or idle. After command completion occurred, registers were: ER ST SC SN CL CH DH -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 84 51 00 65 69 db e1 Error: ICRC, ABRT at LBA = 0x01db6965 = 31156581 Commands leading to the command that caused the error were: CR FR SC SN CL CH DH DC Powered_Up_Time Command/Feature_Name -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ---------------- -------------------- c8 00 10 65 69 db e1 00 00:37:33.571 READ DMA c8 00 08 7d 4b db e1 00 00:37:33.515 READ DMA c8 00 30 4d 4b db e1 00 00:37:33.458 READ DMA c8 00 40 65 48 db e1 00 00:37:33.456 READ DMA c8 00 28 3d 48 db e1 00 00:37:33.419 READ DMA etc. - and no errors since boot. Is that drive about to go south, or are the errors just symptoms of it being older? Are there steps I should take? drive info: === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Family: Seagate Barracuda ATA IV family Device Model: ST380021A Serial Number: 3HV09PHE Firmware Version: 3.05 User Capacity: 80,026,361,856 bytes Device is: In smartctl database [for details use: -P show] ATA Version is: 5 ATA Standard is: Exact ATA specification draft version not indicated Local Time is: Fri Nov 6 10:36:25 2009 PST SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.

recommend benchmarking SW
by Alan McKay 06 Nov '09

06 Nov '09

Hey folks, We've got some new hardware and are trying to figure out what best to do with it. Either run CentOS right on the bare metal, or virtualize, or several combination options. Mainly looking at : - CentOS on bare metal - CentOS on ESXi 4.0 with local disk - CentOS on ESXi with 1 VM running Openfiler to serve disk to other VMs And want to benchmark these 3 scenarios So far all we have is a dd-based disk IO benchmark. What else can you all recommend. BTW, we also ideally want to try each of the above with a Postgres DB as well (and once without) thanks, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

Certificates Revocation Lists and Apache...
by John Doe 06 Nov '09

06 Nov '09

Hi, already asked in the openssl mailing list, but just in case you already went through this... I need a little help with Certificate Revocation Lists. I did setup client certificates filtering with apache and it seem to work fine so far (used a tutorial on http://www.adone.info/?p=4, down right now). I have a "CA" that is signing a "CA SSL". Then, the "CA SSL" is signing the clients certificates.

CentOS Social, London, UK : 10 Nov 2009
by Karanbir Singh 06 Nov '09

06 Nov '09

Hi Guys, Some of us are yet-again going to be getting together for a CentOS Beer evening on the 10th Nov 2009 at the Kings and Queens. The Pub is mostly quiet during the week, has a fair selection of drinks and is central enough to most people in the city. The full address is : King & Queens, 1 Foley St, London, W1W 6DL‎ Here is a Google Street view of the place http://bit.ly/1PchSO We should be there from about 6:30pm onwards. And depending on how people feel about it, will move around the corner to Ragham, for some food around 9pm. When you get there, keep an eye out for people in CentOS T-Shirts/ Shirts. There is no real agenda except focus on beer and the food! However, you are welcome to bring laptops around and show off any cool stuff you've been working on ( iirc, there is no internet at the pub though ). -- Karanbir Singh London, UK | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

Who's eating our bandwidth?
by Niki Kovacs 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Hi, I've recently setup a new server for our public libraries. For the last two years, this has been my first "big" job, since it involves networking eleven small to medium size public libraries. There was a hiccup some time ago when the administration hiring me wanted to do it on their own, but it took them less than two weeks to get the server hacked and lose everything. So they decided to hire me back :o) I've rented a little dedicated server at the french provider Ikoula. Really a small thing, a KVM amounting to 1/2 a processor core, 512 MB RAM and 25 GB of disk space. Usually there should be no more than like ten people working simultaneously on the library management software (running atop MySQL). For the last few days, users reported that the install was "terribly slow". I checked, and indeed, the application took quite some time to respond. First thing, I wonder if the configuration I chose is too modest for the setup. Then, I took a peek in /var/log/httpd and the *-access.log files show quite some activity. Some haphazard whois on various IP addresses show me that these are no library users from around here. Like: Bogota?!? Peking?!? And quite some search engines. Since I don't need search engines for our application, I'm going to have to find a way to banish these. The log files are not very handy to decipher, so I googled a bit, and I think today I'm going to check out AWStats, which seems to be the right thing to use in that case. I'm also wondering about activity on other ports, but here also I'm taking stabs in the dark. Probably SSH, but I don't know where eventual failed attempts get logged. I also googled a bit, and I think in this domain, fail2ban will be my next experiment. I have this strange feeling that the next step in the "wise" direction consists in describing my ignorance :o) Any suggestions? Cheers from the sunny south of France, Niki

Real world report for the Newsletter
by Geerd-Dietger Hoffmann 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Hey The last "Newsletter survey" found that many people are interested in how CentOS is used and what people do with it, I would like to invite anyone who has some spare time or has something to share to write a little article about how they are using CentOS. I suppose interesting stuff would be how many machines, how you manage them, what programs you use, stuff that has happened and stopped production (even funny stuff of the likes of "rat in fuse") and pretty much what ever you want. If you don't want personal data appearing for security reasons we can work something out so that your server safety is not affected. Cheers and thanks for the help.

>> http://gosa-project.org/ This looks VERY interesting!!! As for the requirements for a latter version of PHP, is this for every host? Or just the management host? I'm not opposed to running a recent copy of Fedora Core for this. Or not even opposed to using a more recent version of PHP than is in the Centos Distro. cheers, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

Redhat 7.3 as CentOS 5 domU
by Mindaugas Riauba 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Hello, What is the simpliest way to run Redhat 7.3 server as CentOS 5 domU? I see that Xen emulates Intel PIIX ATA controller for HVM domUs but latest kernel of Redhat 7.3 (2.4.20-20.7smp) has no ata_piix kernel module yet. Is it possible to download it somewhere or there is another way? :) And I'd like to avoid reinstalling them with the new OS. Preferably they'd just die their own death in their little domUs. :) Regards, Mindaugas

user management solution needed
by Alan McKay 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Hey folks, What is the best way to manage users across multiple CentOS boxes? Ideally what I'd like to be able to do is have central control over who has access to which box from a minute-to-minute basis. e.g. User X needs access to Box A for 30 minutes - clickity, clickity and they have access for that long after which their access is automatically turned off. thanks, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"
