PE2950, RAID 0, failed disk
by Scott R. Ehrlich 09 Mar '08

09 Mar '08

I have a Dell PowerEdge 2950 with PERC 5/i, and 6 disks. Two disks have one logical volume via a hardware RAID 1 and consist of CentOS 5 64-bit; the remaining four comprise a logical volume via a hardware RAID 0, and is all user data. One drive on the RAID 0 went bad. I removed it while the system was on, tried a reboot, and the system hangs at RedHat Linux... Starting I tried to boot from a Fedora 8 CD, which sees the boot drives fine, but not the RAID 0 partitions. Visiting the PERC controller setup claims the RAID 0 volume is unavailable, or something similar, though it is defined, with one of the disks labelled as missing, since I removed it from the system. How do I get the partitions on the RAID 0 setup back? I have some of the data, but need the rest, if possible, and the remaining three disks appear physically healthy. I'm also going to work with Dell for some answers, and I've done a lot of googling. Thanks. Scott

There is ZERO redundancy in RAID0. Again, your data is gone. Replace the drive, partition it again, then use RAID1, 5, or 6 on your remaining drives to get some kind of redundancy. Then restore what you can from backups. -- Steven Haigh Email: netwiz(a)crc.id.au Web: http://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9001 6090 - 0412 935 897

Firefox and xmms issue
by Frank Cox 08 Mar '08

08 Mar '08

I'm almost certain that I had this working before, but it seems to have quit. I used to be able to go to a web page, click on a .wav file and have it automatically load into xmms and play, and that was all there was to it. Today, I click on a wav file and it opens another empty Firefox window, then loads xmms and sits there until I hit the play button on xmms. Worse, if I close xmms and the empty Firefox window, then click on another wav file in the original Firefox window, it goes through the same process but then when I hit play I'm listening to the first wav file again. So... what happened? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

C5 64-bit and software RAID 6?
by Scott R. Ehrlich 08 Mar '08

08 Mar '08

I have a Dell PowerEdge 2950 with 6 SAS disks and a PERC 5/i controller what won't do RAID 6. I plan to have 2 drives as RAID 1 for the OS, and the remaining 4 as RAID 6. Granted the PERC can do RAID 1, I'm tempted to do everything via software RAID. Thus, if anything goes wrong with the controller, I just need to obtain a new SAS controller and I'm back up. I learned my lesson about not using RAID 0 for important data storage when a drive goes bad! What are peoples' performance and reliability experiences with 64-bit C5's software RAID, particularly RAID 6? Thanks. Scott

Syntax question: svn propset on multiple file types?
by Niki Kovacs 08 Mar '08

08 Mar '08

Hi, I'm currently using SVN for writing some docs with LaTeX, and I wonder how I could possible tell SVN to ignore all *.log, *.aux and *.dvi files. I know how it can be done for one at a time. Let's say my files are in the docs/ directory. Then I'd go into the parent directory and do: $ svn propset svn:ignore *.log docs/ But what should the command be if I wanted to ignore *.log, *.aux and *.dvi? thanks, Niki

I have installed both: jdk-6u5-linux-i586-rpm.bin jre-6u5-linux-i586-rpm.bin But no Java plugin in Firefox.

Re: [CentOS] Unable open raw socket in CentOS 5 - SE Linux and kernelcapability interaction?
by Ross S. W. Walker 08 Mar '08

08 Mar '08

The raw socket option in the kernel only allows privileged processes to open them. Selinux controls which privileged processes have the right to. To allow an unprivileged process to access a raw socket you will need to write a proxy daemon that runs privileged and is allowed in selinux to create a raw socket. This daemon can then provide a unix socket to unprivileged processes whose access can be granted with it's security modes and ownership either manually or through udev. -Ross ----- Original Message ----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org <centos-bounces(a)centos.org> To: CentOS mailing list <centos(a)centos.org> Sent: Fri Mar 07 17:44:15 2008 Subject: Re: [CentOS] Unable open raw socket in CentOS 5 - SE Linux and kernelcapability interaction?

Re: [CentOS] Problem getting JavaRuntime EnvironmentinstalledintoOpenOffice
by Ross S. W. Walker 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

You may need to look at 'alternatives' and see if Sun java is still set and set it again if it isn't. If it still doesn't work after that try uninstalling OOo and reinstalling it. If it doesn't work after that, well you may want to try the 32-bit versions to see if they work together. Another good question, are you running the 32-bit or 64-bit version of OOo? I believe the 32-bit OOo will only work with the 32-bit Java, not sure if that is true the other way around though. Is there a reason the GNU Java won't work for your needs? -Ross ----- Original Message ----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org <centos-bounces(a)centos.org> To: CentOS mailing list <centos(a)centos.org> Sent: Fri Mar 07 17:40:07 2008 Subject: RE: [CentOS] Problem getting JavaRuntime EnvironmentinstalledintoOpenOffice >> Sure I'll give that a try.

system-config-display wrongly sets up Viewsonic VG730m monitor
by Anne Wilson 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

I originally set up this monitor with an analogue lead. Everything seemed fine, so I didn't check xorg.conf at all. Then I bought a digital lead, and since then the monitor blinks. Running system-config-display identifies it as a 1280 x 1084 CRT monitor. It is an LCD monitor. That model is not on the drop-down list, so assuming that a specific driver wasn't available for it, I tried telling system-config-display that it is a generic LCD 1280 x 1024 monitor - restarted X, then went back to system-config-display, where it showed up as a CRT monitor. The refresh rate set was way outside the manufacturer's recommendations (1280 x 1024 @ 60Hz). so I tried manually setting refresh rates to match the manual's recommendations. At the moment my xorg.conf has ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC: Identifier "Monitor0" ModelName "Monitor 1280x1024" ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC: HorizSync 60.0 - 72.0 VertRefresh 60.0 - 72.0 Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "nv" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 16 EndSubSection EndSection Attached is the relevant part of the specification page.

rsyslog repo?
by Johnny Tan 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

Does anyone know of a CentOS-5 (el5) repo for rsyslog, that's being maintained on a relatively regular basis? I checked all the usual suspects (dag, karan, epel, etc.), but they either don't have rsyslog at all, or they have an old version. Currently, I'm doing a rebuild of the Fedora-8 srpm, but it's at version 2.0.2. I wanted to move to 3.11.x for the disk-assisted buffering, and I was able to fix the spec file such that the package installs and runs. But I'm having other troubles with it (specifically with remote logging, which I was able to get working with the 2.0.2 version). So, I'm troubleshooting those problems as I speak(type), but perhaps rather than reinvent the wheel, I just wanted to check if there's an existing 3.x repo for el5, or if there are people out there who've worked out these problems already. johnn

Multi domU Xen Box Network Transparent Sound
by Ross S. W. Walker 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

(I tried cross-posting between centos and centos-virt, but it only appeared on centos-virt, maybe it was rejected?) I have a new development box at home that I am working on. Currently it has CentOS 5.1 + Xen 3.2 running several domUs. I am using XDMCP on the domUs and an X Chooser on dom0 for connecting to them and it works well, but now I want to be able to get sound from my domUs and I have been struggling. I can get some from network transparent sound by using ESD, but I have no way of controlling the mixer (volume) settings from within the domU which kind of sucks. I have been looking at the possibility of setting up a PulseAudio server in dom0 and installing the ALSA PulseAudio plugin on each domU set to use the dom0 server as from the web site it seems to be able to have remote mixer controls and can be handled as if it were a regular ALSA sound card, which should allow a majority of the apps to work as if there were a local sound card. My questions are: 1) Has anybody on the list used PulseAudio in this type of setup (not necessary Xen interface, but ALSA plugin to remote PulseAudio server)? 2) Does anybody on the list know a compatible repo that carries pre-compiled PulseAudio packages?

umask in nfs
by Craig White 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

Normal users umask is 022 set in /etc/bashrc Obviously I can change that value to 002 but that would affect all files created by each user. Is it possible to set a different umask on nfs mounts only so that user created files have a umask of 002 on files saved onto that mount? man mount shows this is possible on some filesystems but man nfs doesn't suggest that this is possible.

Moving from RAID 0 to LVM RAID?
by Scott R. Ehrlich 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

So I've learned a valuable RAID 0 lesson, and it fortunately was not a major catastrophy. I got lucky, and had a workable-enough backup on tape to make the user who needed some data happy. Now, from the OS side, LVM is an option. Say the RAID controller only allows hardware striping or mirroring for logical volumes, but I want to use more than two disks, and I don't want the RAID 0 problem again. When I get a replacement disk and build the system from the ground up again, I could, conceivably, use hardware RAID 1 for the OS on two disks, and CentOS 5 64-bit's LVM for software RAID 5 (or maybe 1+0 if available) on the remaining for 4 disks, maybe 3 disks as active and the 4th as a hot spare? I've never had much faith in software raid, since it is not hardware-based, and there would be a performance hit, but in this case, it could be an option. Insights from the OS-created RAID experience welcome. Thanks again. Scott

Perl-5.8.8-10 "use overload" backport breaks performance?
by Amos Shapira 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

Hello, There is text in the documentation of Class::DBIx as follows: There is a problem with slow performance of certain DBIx::Class operations in perl-5.8.8-10 and later on RedHat and related systems, due to a bad backport of a "use overload" related bug. The problem is in the Perl binary itself, not in DBIx::Class. If your system has this problem, you will see a warning on startup, with some options as to what to do about it. (from http://search.cpan.org/~ash/DBIx-Class-0.08010/lib/DBIx/Class/Manual/Intro.…) and indeed when I run a test I get: # perl -MDBIx::Class -e1 WARNING: DBIx::Class::StartupCheck: This version of Perl is likely to exhibit extremely slow performance for certain critical operations. Please consider recompiling Perl. For more information, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=196836 and/or http://lists.scsys.co.uk/pipermail/dbix-class/2007-October/005119.html. You can suppress this message by setting DBIC_NO_WARN_BAD_PERL=1 in your environment. Now it looks like the current solution is to compile a package by myself. Is there a way I can avoid this and just grab a fixed or older working version from some known repository? This is on a CentOS 5 with all updated packages ("yum update" doesn't update anything), rpmforge is enabled in case this matters. Thanks, --Amos

audio file validation tool ?
by John R Pierce 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

I need a command line tool to validate mp3 file(s).... just something that scans the file and looks for structural errors and reports it. background, I've recovered a few 1000 MP3 files off a dying disk drive for a radio station, some of the other files I recovered had several K byte long blocks of zeros splatted in the middle where the dying drive did bad sector remapping (SMART reported 1900+ sectors had been remapped)... this particular library was the playlist for an internet radio station run as a pet project by the program director of a FM station... said PD passed away from cancer last year, and the station management wants to put this internet station back online as a legacy to her. its a very obscure bunch of music, all old 'cowboy' songs. :)

Keeping machines online
by Jerry Geis 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

I am using centos 5.1. I want to keep my machines always powered on. Some machines (important ones) are UPS'd. I have also set in the BIOS (gigabyte motherboard) the power options that after power loss should do a full on. The other day we had just a momentary power drop. the UPS machines had no issue of course with that. However, the other machines did not come back on. Is there anything additional in Centos that can help ensure this machines turn back on. Perhaps something in acpi stuff? Does that need setup? Thanks for the discussion. Jerry

Re: [CentOS] Slightly OT: How to learn UNIX
by techlists＠comcast.net 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

I'm a big proponent of self teaching. In the IT field, it's usually hard to get an employer to pay for training, so if one isn't willing to self teach, it's hard to advance. Use user reviews on Amazon to get feedback on what books are good for learning a specific operating system. There's no substitute for hands on experience. With Solaris, you can always download ISO images and build your own test server on inexpensive x86 hardware. I don't know how you'd do that with AIX or HP, though. I've wanted to learn AIX myself, but am certainly not going to shell out several thousand bucks to buy a used AIX server.

5.0 -> 5.1

Hi folks, I have a production server that's currently running 5.0 with all updates. What's the easiest, or perhaps best way to upgrade it to 5.1, with minimal down time? The downtime is critical, so I need to have it be a short as possible. I can live with an hour or two, but larger is going to be a pain.

How do I control the order in the network manager? I have read the little doc on it. And I want wireless before wired, for example. If multiple wireless, I want to be at least asked, or to set my priority (like I could do in wpa_supplicant.conf).

ipw3945 wireless not working
by Robert Moskowitz 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

This is a new Centos 5.1 install on a HP nc2400 (that use to run XP). Completely clean install; blew away the XP partitions... After applying all the updates, and configuring for the rpmforge repo, I used yumex to install dkms and the dkms-ipw3945, ipw3945-firmware, and ipw3945d rpms. lsmod|grep ipw shows: ipw3945 180391 1 ieeee80211 33417 1 ipw3945 and dmesg)grep ipw shows: well a bunch of lines about the card including one with the Radio Frequency Kill Swithc is On But the card does not show in Network Manager. I added to modprobe.conf: alias wifi0 ipw3945 and rebooted (and power cycled) and no change. ifconfig wifi0 up gets: device not found Oh, this notebook has a Broadcom ethernet adapter that is working just fine at bootup But I have to get the wireless working today! Well maybe by tomorrow. (off to IETF next week, and IEEE 802 the following). ANy help would be greatly appreciated!

slow SMTP-AUTH
by Ugo Bellavance 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Hi, I installed sendmail on a centos-4 openvz VM. I set up SMTP-AUTH and when I try to send mail using this server, there is a big delay in which my e-mail client (Mozilla Thunderbird) just hangs. The server, on the other hand, is idle at the same time. It does that no matter if I use no encryption, TLS, or SSL. When the client is 'hung' sendmail, on the server side haven't logged anything yet for this connection. Any idea? Regards, Ugo

Source keychain credentials in Perl?
by Sean Carolan 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Keychain is quite a useful tool for automating SSH logins without having to use password-less keys: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/keychain/ Normally it is used like this to set the SSH_AUTH_SOC and SSH_AGENT_PID variables: source ~/.keychain/hostname-sh (This is what's in hostname-sh) SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-XXn47DUn/agent.16721; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK; SSH_AGENT_PID=16722; export SSH_AGENT_PID; I would like these environment variables to be made available to a Perl script so that any "system" commands contained in the perl script will inherit them. How do you do this in Perl?

RESTORING THUNDERBIRD FILES
by Chris Geldenhuis 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Hi All, Last night I downloaded the latest security updates to my Centos 4 system, and rebooted afterwards. This morning I wanted to check my mail, but when I opened Thunderbird, it asked me to set up a mail account. I saved the contents of the previous .thunderbird file structure with tar and created a new mail account with the same details (name, isp, pasword, servers etc.) as the previous account. All of my folders and history had disappeared when the "new" account was created. I tried restoring from the tar archive but can still only access mails downloaded after recreating the account. Any ideas on how to regain access to my mail archives? TIA ChrisG

hi all, assume apache runs under apache user/group and i have a user/group name "weber". i use "weber" user to upload files via ftp/sftp. where should i place my include files so that no one can access except apache b/c these files contained user/pw for mysql. i usually place them in /var/www/html/includes, but people can access to this folder, so i'm thinking place them in /var/www/includes. what should the permission for /var/www/html and /var/www/inclues/? what group should these two directories belong to??? thanks, t. hiep

I have been looking for environment variables for the %post section of kickstart. Namely if I start my kickstart command with "linux ks=http://serverip/ks.cfg" is there an environment variable that has serverip that I can use in the %post section? Also is there a way to pass a command line argument to the %post section when running kickstart command as the above http://serverip/ks.cfg Thanks, Jerry

Error reading block x (Attempt to read block...)
by Scott R. Ehrlich 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

A Centos 5 64-bit server reflected some SCSI kernel errors in the logs, so I opted to reboot, only to be prompted to perform a manual fsck, that an automatic fsck wouldn't be permitted. As a result, the fsck is taking a long time, as I have to babysit the server for every bad block that is reported and needs a forced rewrite. The exact error is "Error reading block x (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while doing inode scan. Ignore error(y)? Force rewrite(y)?" I say yes to both. Could I safely get away with booting from a CentOS 5 CD and performing a fsck with automatic system fixing to speed up the process, or do I need to be patient and just keep manually selecting Y for as long as it takes? Thanks. Scott

LVM: how do I change the UUID of a LV?
by Timothy Selivanow 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

I know how to change the UUID of Physical Volumes and Volume Groups, but when I try to do the same for a Logical Volume, lvchange complains that "--uuid" is not an option. Here is how I've been changing the others (note that "--uuid" does not appear in the man pages for pvchange and vgchange for lvm2-2.02.26-3.el5): pvchange --uuid {pv dev} vgchange --uuid {vg name} Any suggestions? I'm pretty much open to any arcane/convoluted procedure, but I refrain from copying the data to a temp place so I can re-create the LV as that would add too much work and would kinda defeat what I'm doing. Thanks! --Tim _________________________________________________________ / Obviously I was either onto something, or on something. \ \ -- Larry Wall on the creation of Perl / --------------------------------------------------------- \ \ \ \ /\ ( ) .( o ).

Overwrite target of ln
by Matt Arnilo S. Baluyos (Mailing Lists) 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Hi all, Sorry if this seems too basic. But is there a way to overwrite the target of a symbolic link without first deleting the symlink itself? For example, if I have this: public_html -> releases/b2b-20080228 ... and there's a new update, I can then just do the following: $ ln releases/site-latest public_html I tried using the -f option but it doesn't seem to work as expected. -- Stand before it and there is no beginning. Follow it and there is no end. Stay with the ancient Tao, Move with the present.
