changing motherboards. kernel panic.
by Erick Perez 04 Apr '07

04 Apr '07

Hi, I just changed the motherboard of a centos 4.4 installation for a new one. this new one has a SIS chipset. Now when i boot from the hard disk i get a kernel panic (unable to find root, no hdd found , etc) I have identified the module I need to load to make centos "see" the disks. Now the question is what do I need to modify in my existing installation, to tell centos to use the new sis module and to *not* use the old intel? Thanks, -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Erick Perez ------------------------------------------------------------

Page cache flushing algorithm question
by Mark Hull-Richter 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

I have been studying this for the last several days, and the one thing that leaps out at me is that the page cache always flushes one page at a time. Always. To some extent, there is justification for this - what has to happen for each page that gets flushed depends in part on what file system is being written to and whether or not there is a function for that file system to handle the pages. However, as far as I can tell, if the mapping data for a page does not exist (mapping->a_ops->writepage == NULL), it is handed to mpage_writepage() for buffer management and i/o submission, whereas almost all of the file systems that do map this function map it to block_write_full_page. These two functions use completely different algorithms for flushing a page from the cache, or at least it sure looks that way. (This figures, because if the file system didn't buffer the pages, the kernel has to do it, whereas if the file system did, the flush is much simpler.) (The only ones that don't use block_write_full_page are reiserfs, which does some interesting things with small files, and the networked file systems, which don't write to a disk file per se.) My question is, is it feasible to tweak these functions so that it becomes possible to flush multiple pages at one time (with one function), or is that too large/complex a change to be worth the effort (which would be considerable)? This might be OT since it is a kernel question, but what the heck.... :-) Thanks.

NTP
by Mike 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Greets! Ok. I'm looking at a client that needs to keep their server time close as reasonably possible (within a minute) of the actual time of day. I've installed the RPM for NTP and I'm looking for tips on what the simplest setup should be, ie: What server(s) should I be using for sync? Should I just run it from a cron every 20 minutes or so? thx. Mike

CentOS 5 Dual Drive Confusion
by Brett Serkez 02 Apr '07

02 Apr '07

I performed a test install of CentOS Beta 5 on a system with two ~60 GB drives. When installing CentOS 4 on this system, I normally work thru setting up Software RAID with identically sized partitions on each drive. For my test, the CentOS installer only presented a single drive. I took the default of letting it do what it wanted. After looking over the system I have verified that /boot is using DMRAID, but it isn't not clear if the balance of the drive for the root file system is using both drives or not, I think it might be. Using fdisk, I can see both disks are carved out identically: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/hda2 14 7297 58508730 8e Linux LVM /dev/hdd1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/hdd2 14 7297 58508730 8e Linux LVM Using dmraid it *looks* like the drives are mirrored in total? dmraid -r -D /dev/hda: pdc, "pdc_bacfgfjaf", mirror, ok, 117231345 sectors, data@ 0 /dev/hdd: pdc, "pdc_bacfgfjaf", mirror, ok, 117231345 sectors, data@ 0 But then using df it is less obvious: df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 54G 1009M 50G 2% / /dev/mapper/pdc_bacfgfjafp1 99M 11M 83M 12% /boot tmpfs 125M 0 125M 0% /dev/shm pvs shows VolGroup00 as using pdc_bacfgfjafp2: PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree /dev/mapper/pdc_bacfgfjafp2 VolGroup00 lvm2 a- 55.78G 32.00M which is RAID1?????? Seems to be: dmraid -s *** Active Set name : pdc_bacfgfjaf size : 117231232 stride : 128 type : mirror status : ok subsets: 0 devs : 2 spares : 0 Am I properly understanding that by default, CentOS 5 is creating a full drive mirrored RAID? Then for other than the boot partition, it is laying LVM over this mirrored RAID, presumably to allow adjustments later? Thank you in advance, Brett

Software RAID 10?
by Mickey Everts 02 Apr '07

02 Apr '07

Hello... I have a server with 4 x SCSI drives and I would like to install Centos 4 (or 5) onto a software RAID 10 array. Do you know if this is possible? I noticed that under the Centos 4.92 beta, RAID 5 is an option but for some reason RAID 10 is not listed. There does appear to be a RAID 10 module.... /lib/modules/2.6.9-42.0.8.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/md/raid10.ko More info I found here: http://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/01093607424 Many thanks for any help on this; I hate to buy hardware raid controller if not needed....

LVM & Softraid & expansion
by Cen Tos 02 Apr '07

02 Apr '07

I've been reading the RHEL 5 manual/guide linked from centos, and the idea of LVM with expandable partitions seems like a great idea (yes duh why else would it exist if not?). Although the documentation shows a screenshot of how the final setup would look like with LVM & RAID together, it doesn't actually gives the step. 1. Am I correct in thinking it should be done in this way - setup Softraid - setup LVM on the raid partitions Secondly, LVM allows expansion of the LVM group when we add a new drive. But with softraid, how will this happen? Searching around does not turn up any guide on this. Am I correct in thinking I must always add new drives in pairs (for Raid 1), create a new softraid partition then assign this new partition to the LVM group? Thanks!

How to resolve an up2date package conflict?
by Olaf Greve 02 Apr '07

02 Apr '07

Hi, At present I'm setting up several CentOS (4 and 4.4) machines, and in the process of installing the several updates that are automatically mentioned by up2date as being available, I'm running into a package conflict. More particular, when trying to install several of the C compiler related packages (like gcc, cpp, etc.) I get the error message: "Test install failed because of package conflicts: The following packages were added to your selection to satisfy dependencies: (name) libtool (version) 1.5.6 (release) 4.EL4.c4.4 package libtool-1.5.6-4.EL4.1.c4.4 is already installed" Now.... this seems to be somewhat of what we call over here a "chicken-and-egg-problem", IOW, in order to resolve it libtool should be added, yet when adding it, libtool is already installed and causes the conflict; so which to solve first :P Can anyone let me know how I can manually solve this problem (note that libtool was not offered as a selectable package, but rather is enforced when trying to install e.g. gcc)? Tnx in advance, and cheers, Olafo

Wait for 5 or just use 4.4?
by Cen Tos 02 Apr '07

02 Apr '07

I'm a relative newbie to all this so pardon me if the following are all stupid questions. Firstly, I'm setting up a web server and gone from planning to use Ubuntu (due to some familiarity as a desktop at home) to CentOS based on recommendations by experienced webhosters. However now that I looked into CentOS, I find myself at a point where it's transitting to a major new version. So the key question for me is, should I wait for CentOS 5 to be released or just go for 4.4? Being rather new to Linux, my attempts to try to figure out the differences between the two has been rather futile since I can't readily tell what is really important to me or not. All that I think I'm sure of now is that 5 would support virtualization using Xen and 4.4 doesn't have it. This alone is food for thought since the idea of being able to compartalize each website in their own VM sounds good in the long run. I'm tempted to wait for 5 since I'm reluctant to run the risk of having to upgrade a live server to version 5 and have it failed specutacularly if I screw it up. On the other hand, it's uncertain when 5 will be out and definitely waiting more than another 2 weeks isn't quite acceptable without compelling reasons. Hence I'll appreciate it if the knowledgeable folks on this mailing list can advise which is the wiser route to go. Some additional information which may be relevant to the decision. 1. RAID : Was planning to run "hardware" RAID 1 on the server and has noted comments that software RAID 1 on Linux may be better than raid 1 using onboard firmware controllers. 2. Software that would be running on the server would include Apache 2.xwith ASPx support, php 5.x, MySQL 5.x, Exim, ProFTPD, Direct Admin (supposed to be developed on RH and one user apparently tested it to work right out of the box with 5 Beta, part of the reason why I decided to go with CentOS) 3. Hardware to be used would be Intel Core 2 Duo on an Asus P5B-VM-D0 (Q965, ICH8-D0, Intel GMA3000 GPU) with SATA hard disks. 4. Network bandwidth control based on request IP or domains (i.e. connections to IP #1 can be limited to 512Kbps, while connections to IP #2 can be limited to 1024Kbps, or connections to www.domainA.com is limited to 256Kbps etc. Thanks!

Missing samba binaries
by Mark Hull-Richter 02 Apr '07

02 Apr '07

I went to enable samba on my home machine, which has a largely plain vanilla install of CentOS 4.4 Plus, and the smbd and nmbd files are missing. As you may know, this makes it rather difficult to run samba. For some reason, the winbindd binary is present, and rpm reports: samba-common-3.0.10-1.4E.11 samba-client-3.0.10-1.4E.11 as present. So how do I retrieve the missing samba binaries/ Do I remove and reinstall the packages, or do I rebuild the latest samba from source, or . . . ??? Thanks.

Centos 4.92
by John Summerfield 01 Apr '07

I'm looking at the first ISO image (I only have two so far), and I don't see instructions a repo for preparing for a network install. It used to be basically copy all the RedHat/Fedora/CentOS directories to a common location. Then one booted from the network, CD or whatever and gor right into it. The last part I'm sure is substantially the same as before, but we do need a new recipe for creating the repo. If it's "on the internet," I can't get at it at present; nor will I for a few days. -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa(a)coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa(a)coco.merseine.nu Please do not reply off-list

kernel-devel rpm
by Dave 01 Apr '07

Hello, I'm trying to install VirtualBox on a test CentOS 4.4 system following the guide on howtoforge. As a preliminary i'm trying to retrieve the kernel-devel rpm, which contains the headers and libs needed to compile kernel modules. I've tried: yum install kernel-devel as well as added an arch to that in this case i686 and i keep getting the msg nothing to do. The only item i can think of is i have enabled the protectbase yum plugin, if this is my problem i'd like to make this file an exception. My kernel version is 2.6.9, the default one that came with CentOS if that matters. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks. Dave.

Beta question - initial install of packages
by Scott R Ehrlich 01 Apr '07

01 Apr '07

When I used Fedora Core 5, and got to the screen for packages to install, I had the option to Customize which packages I wanted to install, but never an option to install EVERYTHING. That annoyed me. When I use Redhat Enterprise 4, and get to the screen for packages to install, I have the option to Customize which packages I want to install. That leads me to a screen showing a tree of catatories. Towards the bottom, I find an "Everything" option. I almost always choose that. When I learned about CentOS 4.4, and got to the package install screen, the EVERYTHING option was there. I was thrilled! >From the CentOS beta, I thought I would again get the EVERYTHING option, but to my shock, the packages screen actually goes back to the FC5 days, thus no easy (that I could find) way to just select all packages. Am I missing something? If this is true, and the team is still in development stage, can the EVERYTHING option be restored? Thanks. Scott

Time 1 hour out
by Andy Wright 31 Mar '07

31 Mar '07

Hi list, Ever since the change to BST here in the UK (GMT to GMT+1) the clocks on all my Centos 4.4 servers are 1 hour slow. Timezone is set to Europe/London, and I've tried with and without "System clock uses UTC". If I disable NTP and set the time manually, then restart NTP, the time goes back 1 hour. Running `date` reports "Wed Mar 28 14:59:04 BST" - so it knows about the BST change, but that time is 1 hour slow - it's really 15:59 BST. All servers are fully patched - tzdata is at 2007d-1.el4 Any ideas anyone? Cheers, Andy.

Can anyone recommend a repo for the latest version of Bacula, compiled for x64? I see Singh has the i386 version in his Centos-Misc repo, but nothing shows up when I do a yum list bacula* on my 64bit systems. Thanks for any advice! Gordon

Booting stopped / System unable to recognized the form of picture - error
by Shameer Khadar 31 Mar '07

31 Mar '07

Dear All, After updating the CentOS system with: yum update,booting of my machine seems to be halted - I am getting the error "System unable to recognized the form of picture of '/usr/share/gdm/themes/Default/background.png'" I noticed this last week, I thought it will be alright with next update, I update once again using yum tonight. But the issue is still there.(this is not a specific update, inorder to update the OS, we used to update CentOS using yum update). I am able to login to the machine from another machines and httpd is also running, but Booting is halted and am not able to login directly. Webserver is up and working fine. I googled about the issue, it seems like bug in RHEL4/CentOS. I am not expert to fix such system related issues. Can you please tell me how to solve this issue. I am pasting few links that points to solution to same problem from RHEL and CentOS (Hope this will save your time) http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1666 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=229073 http://www.nabble.com/%22There-was-an-error-loading-the-theme-Default%22-t8… PS.In one of the earlier thread it is suggested to remove duplicate packages , it will be great if any one help with a command to do the same. I tried the softlink option explained in the last mail but didnt worked for me and I removed the softlink. Thanks in advance, -- Shameer Khadar

I'm having trouble updating my iscsitarget modules, and it seems to be related to a naming convention mixup? here's the output of the build command: [root@vmhost ~]# rpmbuild --rebuild --sign iscsitarget-0.4.14.96-0.amherst.src.rpm Installing iscsitarget-0.4.14.96-0.amherst.src.rpm error: Failed build dependencies: kernel-devel = 2.6.9-42.0.10.ELlarge is needed by iscsitarget-0.4.14.96-0.amherst.x86_64 here's everything my system knows about kernels: [root@vmhost ~]# rpm -qa|grep kernel kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.83 kernel-smp-2.6.9-42.0.8.EL kernel-largesmp-devel-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL kernel-largesmp-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL kernel-devel-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL iscsitarget-kernel-smp-0.4.14.78-2.amherst_2.6.9_42.0.8.EL kernel-smp-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL the kernel I'm currently running: [root@vmhost ~]# uname -a Linux vmhost 2.6.9-42.0.10.ELlargesmp #1 SMP Tue Feb 27 09:59:08 EST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux kernel-devel-2.6.9-42.0.10.ELlarge doesn't seem to exist. but I did find kernel-largesmp-devel, but that didn't help I'm not sure I need to run the largesmp kernel, but it does seem to gain me an extra gigabyte of ram when I run the "free" command. This box has a single quadcore xeon and 16 gigs of ram in it. Any thoughts or suggestions from the list? Thanks, Gordon

Really small Linux and NAS
by Robert Moskowitz 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

I have a really nice, old Libretto 110. Only 64Mb memory. I want to put Linux on it and have a network monitoring system and a traveling NAS. But all of the NASs have seemed to have grown beyond their original 64Mb size (FreeNAS now needs 128Mb). Only thing I have found is: http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS8289526009.html Talking about Unbutu 6.0 and the 'Server' install that can run in 64Mb and provide NAS. Any pointers?

Create CD from avi files

I have avi files in xVid format from my Camera, and I want to create a Video CD that can be viewed on any CD player. I have searched through the various repos (including rpmforage and kbsingh) and did not find anything that would burn. I have a number of programs that have no trouble displaying these files. Including xzine, Avidemux, and VideoLAN-Client). I unfortunately have to make these CDs for tomorrow morning, 8am for my wife to take to her class....

logrotate with only one SIGHUP for two log paths
by Martin Hamant 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

Hi, Not easy to write a quick subject about why i'm going to ask you ! I'm trying to rotate logs from an unique service (ie. apache) but located in two different locations; /var/log/httpd/ and /data/log/web/ I want /var/log/httpd/* to stay as it comes with the distribution and do a specific rotation configuration for logs in the second path /data/log/web/* The first idea is to create an additional logrotate file called for example /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-custom like this: /data/log/web/* { ...(specific configuration, compress & co)... sharedscript postrotate /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/httpd.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true } Problem : if both /data/log/web/* and /var/log/httpd/* is going to be rotated, TWO SIGHUP will be issued : i don't like this (I have bad experience with...) So here is my question : is it possible to do a similar configuration with only ONE SIGHUP if a rotation happen on one log ? Thank you ! -- Martin

RHEL4 - which yum version?
by Florin Andrei 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

I'm looking at this document to convert RHEL4 systems to Yum and setup an updates repository. http://sial.org/howto/yum/ Which version of yum would you recommend for that? What would be the dependencies that need to be installed? Any guidelines for installing Yum on RHEL4 without breaking the RPM dependencies and stuff (and with minimal changes to the system)? The document recommends yum-2.0.7, but that's pretty old, I guess. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
