can CentOS act as an iSCSI server?
by Rudi Ahlers 18 Nov '08

18 Nov '08

Hi all, I would like to know if I could share some space on on of my servers, to another server(s) using the iSCSI protocal? I can see that CentOS can connect to an iSCSI server, but can it act as a iSCSI server? Is so, does anyone have some good HOWTO / tutorials / docs on how to set it up? I'm running CentOS 5.2 -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers

library strangeness
by Craig White 17 Nov '08

while doing a yum update today, I noticed a few errors being reported that seemed strange to me... /sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 is not a symbolic link /sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 is not a symbolic link # ls -l /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Oct 13 18:38 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 -> libstdc++.so.5.0.7 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 733168 Jan 8 2007 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 804212 Oct 23 10:09 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 936908 May 26 15:16 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.8 # rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++-4.1.2-42.el5 # rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.8 libstdc++-4.1.2-42.el5 # ls -l /usr/lib/libxml2.* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1533932 Sep 15 17:59 /usr/lib/libxml2.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Oct 13 16:50 /usr/lib/libxml2.so -> libxml2.so.2.6.26 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1250176 Oct 23 10:09 /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1250176 Sep 15 17:59 /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.6.26 [root@srv-adv icons]# rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/libxml2.so libxml2-devel-2.6.26-2.1.2.6 [root@srv-adv icons]# rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.6.26 libxml2-2.6.26-2.1.2.6 so my inclination is to remove the /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 and create a symlink to libstdc++.so.6.26 to replace it. Does this make sense? What about the libxml2.so which apparently is there because of the devel package? Is this a CentOS packaging issue ? Craig

Re: [CentOS] Video Card [SOLVED]
by Tom Browder 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

A recap of the problems for my configuration: Centos 5.2, x86_64, PNY 9600 GT 512 Mb video, Rosewill R913J 19" LCD monitor, Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L mobo, Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 Gb RAM. Using the latest Nvidia x86_64 driver package (177.82) I could not get the 1280x1060 resolution (I could get nothing but 640x480). Additionally, while attempting various fixes, the monitor base color turned blue. Cure: 0. I set run level 3 in /etc/inittab and then executed 'telinit 3' to work from a text display. 1. I set the Rosewill in VGA (analog) mode--that is the only mode that will work with the Nvidia driver (discovered by trial and error). 2. I deleted the existing xorg.conf file (at /etc/X11). 3. I used nvidia-xconfig to write a new xorg.conf file. 4. I initially tested with startx, but that didn't work with my set up. I found that using "gdm" let me see a successful X server. 5. After a successful X start at the desired resolution, I then set run level 5 and executed 'telinit 5'. Weird monitor base color: 6. To reset the monitor base color back to normal I had to clear the BIOS CMOS memory and reload the BIOS defaults. Note that the Nvidia list of Linux-capable video cards at <http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_18897.html> (thanks to John Stanley) is the one to consult to ensure a card is usable under Linux. I have found no card manufacturers with any significant degree of tech support for Linux, so I cannot recommend one over the other (over the years I have tried cards from MSI, XFX, EVGA, PNY, and others, but it was always hit or miss--I usually looked at the READMEs with the Nvidia driver packages but that has proved to be unreliable for me--once more, thanks to John Stanley for pointing out the other list that I have always overlooked). I hope this helps others with weird video problems. -Tom Tom Browder Niceville, Florida USA

SVN missing libexpat.so.0 while it is present
by Berend Dekens 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

Hello, Hopefully I am sending this to the correct mailing list but it seemed best suited for troubleshooting :-) I am trying to fix Subversion which isn't working for me on one of our machines: every attempt to run 'svn ls' or 'svn co' ends in: svnserve: error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Which is strange as the symlink is present in /lib/libexpat.so.0 (which points to /lib/libexpat.so.0.5.0) and /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 - I even tried copying an identical libexpat.so.0.5.0 from another machine. Next I ran 'ldd -r /usr/bin/svnserve': || ldd -r /usr/bin/svnserve linux-gate.so.1 => (0x009df000) libsvn_repos-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsvn_repos-1.so.0 (0x008a1000) libsvn_fs-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsvn_fs-1.so.0 (0x00110000) libsvn_fs_fs-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsvn_fs_fs-1.so.0 (0x0034f000) libsvn_fs_base-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsvn_fs_base-1.so.0 (0x00c2d000) libsvn_fs_util-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsvn_fs_util-1.so.0 (0x00857000) libsvn_delta-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsvn_delta-1.so.0 (0x00f5f000) libsvn_subr-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsvn_subr-1.so.0 (0x00ac1000) libsvn_ra_svn-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsvn_ra_svn-1.so.0 (0x0094d000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x00d8d000) libaprutil-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libaprutil-1.so.0 (0x0026c000) libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x06dfd000) libldap-2.3.so.0 => /usr/lib/libldap-2.3.so.0 (0x005f6000) liblber-2.3.so.0 => /usr/lib/liblber-2.3.so.0 (0x007b5000) libdb-4.3.so => /lib/libdb-4.3.so (0x07144000) libexpat.so.0 => /lib/libexpat.so.0 (0x0086a000) libapr-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libapr-1.so.0 (0x00116000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00d74000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00d45000) libsasl2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libsasl2.so.2 (0x06c45000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x0036d000) libuuid.so.1 => /lib/libuuid.so.1 (0x00d64000) libpq.so.4 => /usr/lib/libpq.so.4 (0x00167000) libsqlite3.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.0 (0x0028b000) libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x0013e000) libssl.so.6 => /lib/libssl.so.6 (0x00a78000) libcrypto.so.6 => /lib/libcrypto.so.6 (0x004b0000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00bdd000) libkrb5.so.3 => /usr/lib/libkrb5.so.3 (0x009e3000) libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x001bb000) libgssapi_krb5.so.2 => /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.2 (0x00771000) libcom_err.so.2 => /lib/libcom_err.so.2 (0x00337000) libk5crypto.so.3 => /usr/lib/libk5crypto.so.3 (0x00187000) libkrb5support.so.0 => /usr/lib/libkrb5support.so.0 (0x005eb000) libkeyutils.so.1 => /lib/libkeyutils.so.1 (0x0033c000) libselinux.so.1 => /lib/libselinux.so.1 (0x001d2000) libsepol.so.1 => /lib/libsepol.so.1 (0x00dad000) As you can see, all libs are found and present. I tried installing a custom Subversion 1.5.1 RPM which also fails the same way. Finally I installed all build tools and build the SRPM into a binary RPM and guess what? It also fails... I tried rebooting the server, running 'yum update' a couple of times and right now I'm out of ideas.... I am running CentOS 5.2 - 32-bit in a virtual machine (don't think the latter matters but right now I don't know where to look for the cause). Regards, Berend Dekens

Video Card
by Tom Browder 16 Nov '08

16 Nov '08

I want to be able to use a late-model video card with either Nvidia or ATI (AMD) chips that have the capability to use the GPU for numeric processing through the CUDA or AMD Stream SDKs. I can't find any good source for hardware that really works under Linux, not to speak of Centos. I need a specific model and brand that a user has successfully been able to use the proprietary driver for under Linux. I have tried EVGA Nvidia 9500 GT with no luck. I have also tried XFX 6300 XT (not CUDA-capable) and cannot make it work under Centos, either I am using Centos 5.2, x86_64 on a Gigabyte mobo with Intel Core 2 Duo. I appreciate any help, -Tom Tom Browder Niceville, Florida USA

Somehow I did something that caused my gnome desktop to evaporate. The only thing that hasn't vanished is the task bar I have set up at the bottom of the screen.

Virtual NICs (aliases like eth0:1) won't come up after reboot
by Berend Dekens 15 Nov '08

15 Nov '08

With one problem down I still have another remaining. Since the installation of our primairy webserver we have had a problem with the network aliasses. Our server has 8 IP adresses so we used the tool provided in the GUI to specify (and name - for our own convinience) eth0 aliasses with the other 7 adresses. After setting them up, applying them, activating them and restarting 'networking' (I dare say this is a lot of button pushing just to enable one NIC) all is well and every program can use its preferred IP. However, after a reboot, all aliasses are disabled: they are present in the configuration but they are not activated. I feared I did something wrong so I removed all addresses, tried to find more clues in the docs and now I'm back where I started. How can I figure out what is wrong? I might add that I am not afraid of using a console (actually prefer it on linux servers) but I am new to CentOS so I tried to do everything by using the GUI - which in this case keeps failing...

NTP problems
by Anne Wilson 15 Nov '08

15 Nov '08

My server is supposed to be using ntp, with nothing changed from the defaults set up by CentOS5. However, daily I see log entries like Total synchronizations 2 (hosts: 2) **Unmatched Entries** sendto(193.6.222.20) (fd=21): Invalid argument: 1 time(s) sendto(141.89.226.2) (fd=21): Invalid argument: 1 time(s) Does this mean that ntp is failing? I assume so, and if so, how do I change the sources to something that will work? Anne

External ext3 USB Hard drive and selinux
by Al Freundorfer 15 Nov '08

15 Nov '08

I was directed to post this on the mailing list. See the following forum post as a reference. http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=16710&forum=42 I formatted my external ext3 372GB USB hard drive in ubuntu and now want to use it in Centos. I made sure that my group/user numbers were the same. I was not able to write to the mounted USB hard drive (HD). I suspected selinux and shut it of and I was able to copy the file! I set selinux back to enforce and rebooted. I like the security features of selinux. I tried: 1) chcon -v 2) restorecon -Rv /media/disk 3) cp -P and still am not able to write to the USB HD. The sad part is I can delete files from the USB HD. See forum post for details. I tried it in fedora 9 and it is able to write to the USB HD I tried an 32GB USB memory stick in Centos 5.2 and it worked! I am wondering why it doesn't work for my USB HD? The only difference is the the size. Your help would be much appreciated.

I've installed the latest FreeNX RPMs as described on the wiki: [james@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa |grep nx nxclient-3.2.0-9 freenx-0.7.3-1.el4.centos nx-3.2.0-8.el4.centos And I can NX in using two separate test user accounts. However when I try to enable shadowing I encounter two problems: 1) The shadow selection dialog doesn't show usernames (the column is simply blank). The result is that you need to know the display number in advance. 2) On choosing a display, I get an error connecting (and an authentication request is never shown on the display being shadowed). I can work around 2 by first doing 'xhost +' on the display which is about to be shadowed. But this isn't ideal... Any ideas / tips / pointers to more documentation appreciated! Cheers, James NXlog attached containing: 1 session created, followed by attempt to shadow from another user account.

Setting up eth0 with address 0.0.0.0
by Amos Shapira 14 Nov '08

14 Nov '08

Hello, I'm following instructions in http://www.austintek.com/LVS/LVS-HOWTO/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO.LVS-DR.html#route_on… to allow my xen guest real hosts to serve virtual IP's behind LVS without having to allocate real public IP addresses for each such xen guest. I have eth1 connected via a "back-end" switch to the eth1/xenbr1 of the xen host and the other physical servers, this is the interface that is used by LVS to switch packets over to the real servers. I managed to manually do: # ip route add to <default-router> dev eth0 # ip route add via <default-router> and before that, in order to allow outgoing packets to be sent via eth0, I did: # ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up and it works great, but when I try to configure this permanently via ifcfg-eth0 it says: Bringing up interface eth0: connect: Invalid argument [ OK ] Things seem to work OK - the server can serve over the Virtual IP, eth0 doesn't have an IP associated with it etc. But I'm worried about this message. Some relevant config files: ifcfg-eth0: To setup the routes, I followed http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Deployment_Guide/s1-networkscripts-st… and http://www.mail-archive.com/centos@centos.org/msg15253.html and put the following in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0: DEVICE=eth0 ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet IPADDR=0.0.0.0 NETMASK=0.0.0.0 route-eth0: to <router-address> dev eth0 via <router-address> output of "ifconfig eth0": eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:3E:19:E6:97 inet6 addr: fe80::216:3eff:fe19:e697/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2012 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:250 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:174268 (170.1 KiB) TX bytes:47731 (46.6 KiB) So - did I do this correctly and what should I do to fix the error message?

kmod-xfs and weak-updates
by Tony Schreiner 14 Nov '08

14 Nov '08

I installed kmod-xfs-0.4-2 back with kernel-2.6.18-92.1.13. I have updated kernels but there have been no new kmod-xfs. It still works because of weak-updates (I guess). Currently: # find /lib/modules -name xfs.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.13.el5/extra/xfs/xfs.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.13.el5/weak-updates/xfs/xfs.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.17.el5/weak-updates/xfs/xfs.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.18.el5/weak-updates/xfs/xfs.ko My question is: kernel 2.6.18-92.1.13 is now the oldest one present on my system and will be removed next update. Do I need to worry about that? Will it take the remaining kmod-xfs with it? Tony Schreiner

close open relay
by Jerry Geis 14 Nov '08

14 Nov '08

hi all, running centos 4.7 i686. I seem to have an o pen r elay sendmail server. How do I close it? I have the STRAIGHT centos install sendmail.mc file. Only thing I changed was: dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl so as to allow incoming email and not just localhost. however this seems to relay everyone. I looked at http://www.sendmail.org/tips/relaying but it just talks about (AFIKT) enabling specific relays to occur - not how to CLOSE the relaying. How do I close the relay? Jerry

bluetooth pand help
by Robert Moskowitz 14 Nov '08

14 Nov '08

Help, please. The man pand talks about a /etc/bluetooth/pan/dev-up; there is no such file on any of my Centos systems. I have studied http://bluez.sourceforge.net/contrib/HOWTO-PAN, so I have some of the basics. The only Centos related pand writeup I have found is http://howto.basjes.nl/linux/installing-my-new-server/networking. Should I just copy the dev-up file from there?

This won't get rid of any open relay problems but will at least fix the "example.com" issue: ... dnl # dnl # The following example makes mail from this host and any additional dnl # specified domains appear to be sent from mydomain.com dnl # MASQUERADE_AS(`davenjudy.org')dnl dnl # dnl # masquerade not just the headers, but the envelope as well dnl # dnl FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl dnl # dnl # masquerade not just @mydomainalias.com, but @*.mydomainalias.com as well dnl # FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl dnl # dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(localhost)dnl dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(localhost.localdomain)dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(local.davenjudy.org)dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(davenjudy.org)dnl As for possibly having an open relay, you also want to make sure that the following line is commented out (has dnl at the beginning): dnl # dnl FEATURE(`relay_based_on_MX')dnl dnl # Finally, you'll need a line like: FEATURE(`relay_entire_domain')dnl DO NOT uncomment any of the other lines in sendmail.mc regarding relay settings unless you know what you're doing. If you aren't sure what was changed from the default, remove the sendmail-cf rpm and reinstall it to get back to a clean, default sendmail.mc file. It's a good idea to explicitly run make in /etc/mail and then bounce sendmail rather than let the sendmail startup script decide something has changed since it's easier to catch syntax errors that way. Finally, get a free mail account at your provider of choice (Google, Hotmail, whoever) and use it for testing both sending and receiving mail. Cheers, Dave -- Politics, n.

Timeout for a script
by Jussi Hirvi 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

How could I make a script time out after nn minutes, if it's not finished by then? The practical context: I have a dozen or so of backup scripts in a directory "daily", and they are run by cron like this: > 0 23 * * 1-6 run-parts /root/daily Sometimes one of the scripts hang, in which case the rest of the scripts are delayed more than can be allowed. - Jussi -- Jussi Hirvi * Green Spot NOTICE: Due to the rising energy costs, as well as current market conditions, the Light at the End of the Tunnel has been turned off.

Fot the above heartbeat configuration i didnot found any suitable document for rhel. Can any one provide me the suitable link or guide me what are all the changes i have to made in my existing cluster.xml file for this private heartbeat configuration to work. Waiting for some one reply its urgent for me Regards, Lingu

Rsyncing UPdate repo yoyoing
by Robert Moskowitz 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

It has been crazy this past week how a rsync on the update repo keeps downloading a number of openoffice.org rpms then deleting them. And the repodata directory seems to be messed up so that I have problems on some systems doing updates with it. My rsync script is: #!/bin/sh rsync -auv rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.2/updates/i386/ \ --delete --exclude=debug/ /repos/centos/5.2/updates/i386 Oh, and today we have announcement of some Centos 5 updates, but nothing available yet.

iptables starts blocking outbound http traffic
by Neil Aggarwal 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Hello: I have a machine running CentOS 5 x86_64. It is running apache httpd and tomcat. For some reason, after running for a few days, web requests stop responding. It happened again this morning. I check the syslog and see a HUGE number of logs like this: OUTPUT IN= OUT=eth0 SRC=[MyIP] DST=[OutsideIP] LEN=532 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=52669 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=80 DPT=54697 WINDOW=61 RES=0x00 ACK PSH FIN URGP=0 Here are my iptables commands for http connections (I have the default policy set to drop): # Allow http connections from the outside world /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -d $ETH0_IP -p tcp --sport 1024: --dport http -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT /sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -s $ETH0_IP -p tcp --sport http --dport 1024: -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT Here are some strange things: 1. I have the exact same rules running on two other servers which do not give me any trouble. 2. If I stop and restart httpd and tomcat, the problem goes away. This suggests the firewall is not a problem. Any ideas what is going on? Thanks, Neil -- Neil Aggarwal, (832)245-7314, www.JAMMConsulting.com Eliminate junk email and reclaim your inbox.

Re: [CentOS] Running From Live DVD & Keeping Settings Between Boots
by Brent L. Bates 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Scientific Linux is one of the groups I read, in addition to CentOS, and that is why I couldn't find the email in the CentOS group. Also instead of saving the email, I saved the link to the information, only one of hundreds saved. I didn't think to look in my SL list of links, only CentOS. Sorry for the confusion everyone. Akemi, thanks for the pointer/reminder.

Re: [CentOS] Running From Live DVD & Keeping Settings Between Boots
by Brent L. Bates 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

I remember someone saying one had to include some options on the boot command line for this to work. Nothing was automated for this to work. It took a little bit of work and that is why I saved the email or at least meant to save it. I was almost positive it was the CentOS list that I saw the post(s). I know it wasn't Fedora, because I don't read any groups for that. It wasn't Knoppix. It was definitely a LiveCD/DVD.

bonding theory question
by Mag Gam 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Hello All, I am currently using bonding with 2 NICs (using mode 0). Its been working well, but I am trying to understand how it works (I am a total newbie). mode=0 (balance-rr) Round-robin policy: Transmit packets in sequential order from the first available slave through the last. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance. So I have 2 NICs (1 NIC attached to switch A, 2nd NIC attached to switch B). I have 1 virtual interface. bon0. Suppose data is being pushed out, it will go with 1st NIC and when it gets overloaded it will use 2nd NIC. The bonding driver will be responsible for it. Similar to the push, the pull will be very similar. The data gets pulled and the bonding driver will assemble the packets together? Does this sound right? Sorry for a newbie question... TIA

Autodetecing RAID members upon boot... need to update initrd?
by Tim Nelson 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Hello fellow CentOS'ers- I've got a system running CentOS 5.0. The motherboard has two onboard SATA ports with two drives attached. I installed the system on a RAID1 setup. However, I'd like to add a hotspare disk to the array. Since there are no additional SATA ports, I've installed an additional controller. After partitioning, the additional drive was easily and successfully added to the existing array as a spare. However, the problem is when the system boots. The hotspare disk is never detected and added to the array. I believe it could be due to the driver for the addon card not being in the initrd? If I run 'fdisk -l', I see this: ---BEGIN--- Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda2 14 523 4096575 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda3 524 60801 484183035 fd Linux raid autodetect Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 13 104391 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sdb2 14 523 4096575 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sdb3 524 60801 484183035 fd Linux raid autodetect Disk /dev/md2: 495.8 GB, 495803301888 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 121045728 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes Disk /dev/md2 doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/md1: 12.5 GB, 12584288256 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 3072336 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes Disk /dev/md1 doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/md0: 106 MB, 106823680 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 26080 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes Disk /dev/md0 doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/sdc: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdc1 * 1 13 104391 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sdc2 14 523 4096575 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sdc3 524 60801 484183035 fd Linux raid autodetect ---END--- If my assumptions are correct, the onboard drives are detected first, then the arrays assembled, and after the system has passed control from the initrd to boot, THEN the addon controller is detected and hence the third drive (sdc). If I am correct, then I need to update my initrd for the system to see and use that third drive during the boot process. Can anyone lend a few tips or pointers on how to proceed? I essentially need the sata_sil driver to be included in the initrd. All tips welcome. Thank you! Tim Nelson Systems/Network Support Rockbochs Inc. (218)727-4332 x105

Can expect do this?
by Fajar Priyanto 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Hi all, I'm trying to scp some files from machine1 to machine2. But, I'm in an environment where PubKeyAuthentication is not allowed in ssh :( So, I'm confused how to automate it as cronjob. However, I read somewhere that we can write a little bash script that will utilize 'expect' to answer for the ssh password prompt? Can we do this? Any examples are great help. Thank you.

Sync of csgfs and current centos 4 updates
by Aliet Santiesteban Sifontes 11 Nov '08

11 Nov '08

Hi list, I've been trying to update my csgfs stuff to 4.7 this week but I notice that current csgfs is built against kernel-2.6.9-78.0.1 and is required as a dependence, right now current kernel is 2.6.9-78.0.5 it would be great if csgfs can be rebuilt or updated to this, so dependences works ok??? Best regards
