RE: [CentOS] kbcached tuning on CentOS 4
by Justin Randall 16 Sep '06

16 Sep '06

Thanks for the response. The real concern comes from administrators or other less technical staff logging into the box, and getting concerned at the amount of memory used up. Although user education is always positively accepted, the general comfort level would be much higher if they could login to a host and not see that 98% of memory is in use. Regarding performance, this isn't much of a concern, although this host is intermittently hit with large work loads (which is why the kernel cache reaches the point of consuming all memory) which consume much memory, and another thought was that when these sporadic work loads proceed, there would be a slight performance hit waiting for free memory to be available as the cache is cleared. If this thought is misguided please let me know. Either way, what would be the correct method for tuning the kernel parameters?

Linux is pretty smart about managing caches and buffers, and will grow/shrink the cache depending on the amount of memory. -- Daniel _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Pentium M in desktop system.
by Chris Weisiger 16 Sep '06

16 Sep '06

I have a Gigabyte 8S661FXMP motherboard. It had a P4 2.4Ghz processor in it. I have a laptop which cant be fixed and has a Pentium 4 M 2.8Ghz. I put the Pentium M in my desktop and it boots fine and runs fine, yet I have only been running it for about 30 minutes and shut it down. I have now run it for a complete 2 days without lock ups or anything. I have just been letting it idle, although I did do a defrag of a 120Gig hard drive which the hard drive was thoroughly fragged. So that was the first intensive thing done to my desktop with the pentium M processor. I runs at a cool 24 degress C. I did read that some laptops were socket 479 but i double checked my laptop and it is definitely socket 478. Both my desktop and laptop are socket 478. When I boot my system up, it does tell me that its a Mobile processor. What kinda issues would I need to look for as far as capatibility issues. I kinda took the situation as, it boots up and runs so it should be fine.

Strange screen-blanking problem
by Bart Schaefer 16 Sep '06

16 Sep '06

My desktop at work is CentOS 3.8, using the motherboard's onboard Intel 865 (82865G) graphics controller. Most of the day today I've been having sporadic instances where the screen simply goes black for about 2 seconds. It has nothing to do with whether I'm using the mouse or keyboard (or not) and the delay before it comes back on is not correlated to whether I *continue* to use the mouse or keyboard. This has happened a few times before. Sometimes the system is up for weeks at a time without showing any sign of this, sometimes it re-appears every few days. I've tried shutting down and restarting X11, but that doesn't get rid of it -- it seems only a full reboot will do so. And the longer I wait to reboot, the more often it happens. It doesn't seem to be related to the clock or to ntp (I've seen ntp clock syncs trip the screen saver in X11 before), I've tried shutting down ntpd without any change in the behavior and the system clock is not drifting from other machines on the LAN either way. There's nothing in the log files indicating any activity that might be connected. Anyone have a clue where I might begin looking? Having to reboot a linux machine with only 6 days of uptime galls me.

Using CentOS 3 in and LVS?
by Bart Schaefer 16 Sep '06

16 Sep '06

Is it possible? For LVS you have to deal with something called the ARP problem (viz., the realservers should not respond to ARP requests for the hardware address associated with the virtual IP). This is solved with some sysctl stuff for kernel 2.2.x and for 2.4.26+, but of course CentOS 3 is 2.4.21. There's a kernel module "noarp" that's suppoed to work for all 2.4.x kernels but I can't get its configure to work properly. Does anyone have any experience with this module? Is there an RPM somewhere?

My yam.conf is identical to above except that I've removed the 'os' line and added this: iso = CentOS-$release-$arch-disc?.iso Yam now populates the RPMS.os directory with links into the ISO mounts, but it does not create the repodata directory. I'm going to attempt to create it myself with the createrepo command, but it should happen automatically, right? -- Bowie

Shrinking a volume group
by Steve Bergman 15 Sep '06

15 Sep '06

I did something stupid when setting up a server which is now live. I think I'm stuck. I set up swap on Raid1 which is decidedly non-optimal. I'd prefer 2 independent swap partitions at the same priority. Here is the set up: /dev/sda1 + /dev/sdb1 -> md0 (raid1) md0 -> VolGroup00 VolGroup00 -> VG00LV00(/), VG00LV01(/home), VG00LV02(swap) I've gotten as far as : Turning off swap and removing LV02. Next step would be to shrink VG00. But it looks like you can only shrink a volume group by removing entire PV's. I only have 1 PV. So I think I'm stuck. Any ideas? Thanks, Steve

Hyperthreading ON causes OOPS on boot
by Mark Strong 15 Sep '06

15 Sep '06

I just tried to install CentOS (x86_64 4.4 and i386 4.3, not both at once, when I found the 64bit version didn't boot, I tried the 32bit version, same result) on a dual Naconda Xeon system. I get an OOPS just after the IDE info is printed on the screen during boot (this is booting off the CD during the install phase). After mucking about with the bios settings (and many reboots later), I found with Hyperthreading off it boots and installs ok (installed the x86_64 version once I got it going). After YUM updating, and getting a new kernel I thought I'd try turning the Hyperthreading back on, crashed in the same spot during boot. Since I'm going to use it as a MySQL server and Hyperthreading seems to make MySQL slower, it not a problem that it won't work with Hyperthreading enabled, but it would be interesting to know why. Any ideas??? Its a ASUS NCL-DS with Dual 3.4G Xeons, 8G of DDR2 ram, and a 3ware raid controller 8500LP.

Hey Tim, Found this during my evening reading! http://www.dur.ac.uk/a.d.stribblehill/mirrored_grub.html "The purpose of this document is to suggest a way of configuring grub on a system where the operating system is mirrored between two disks, so that if the first disk fails completely, the system will boot automatically from the second disk." Hope this helps!

Maybe someone can clear up the grub conf for me. Has anyone gotten this to work: two IDE/ATA drivers. Slave is a spare duplicate of the master. Goal is to be able to boot to Spare at any time and run it instead. What step am I missing? When I tried to duplicate a system I failed using this method due to the /boot configuration being specific to the disk layout in the box. That is, if I copied disk A to disk B and then wanted to boot to B I believe I would have to remove A and strap B as the master. Combined SCSI and ATA totally failed on GRUB knowing which disk is which. Ended up having to first install the target slave disk and then moved the disk. Copied everything except /boot. My impression is RAID is the only thing which would work. My goal was actually to create several systems based on the install of one master system. The other systems had random numbers of disks and such. The only way i got it to work was Ch1Master had to be the boot disk in all of them. I mucked around with /boot/grub/grub.conf and device.map to no avail.

Re: CentOS-announce mailing list

This is a small thing; apologize if it's been previously discussed. In user options for the CentOS-Announce mailing list options page: http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-announce you can subscribe to architectures of interest. To receive posts about the i386 architecture, for example, the mailing list pattern (as a regexp) is: CentOS.4.i386 whereas the one for all 4.x architectures is: CentOS.4 The problem is that if you are only subscribed to the i386 subset you will miss architecture independent announcements, such as the recent ones regarding CentOS 4.4 availability. A solution would be to include a pattern for all relevant architectures on the subject line for general release announements, which would allow the existing regexp's to work. However this would make subject lines too long as John pointed out. Better might be to modify the existing regexps to additionally accept subject lines where no architecture is shown. Thanks, Neal

bind errors after yum update to 4.4 CentOs
by eric＠austinconventioncenter.com 14 Sep '06

14 Sep '06

I recently upgraded my name server to CentOs 4.4 from CentOs 4.3 and bind was one of the many packages upgraded. I get the following message when performing an rndc reload " rndc reload rndc: connection to remote host closed This may indicate that the remote server is using an older version of the command protocol, this host is not authorized to connect, or the key is invalid." which odd as I am doing this on the master dns server for the zones. I made sure that my key in rndc.key and rndc.conf match. Anyone else having similar issues? Thanks, Eric

backup server..
by Sebastien Tremblay 14 Sep '06

14 Sep '06

Hi, I've been playing with CentOS quite a bit lately (and I must say it's growing on me!! :) and I was now able to convince my boss that we could get a box and gradually start migrating our hosting from win2k3 to centos. So anyway, I've got a new box at the colo ready up and running - P4 3Ghz w/HT 2Ghz RAM 2x70Gb HDD, running Centos4.4 fully up-to-date. Now my two questions are; (1.) In terms of backup, I'd like to have a cron sending out an nightly incremental backup of user files. I'd also like to have HDA to be copied backed up entirely (maybe weekly) onto HDB (were're not going to use 140GB anyway!) so that is hda crashes, I`d swap both of the hdds and boot from the backup. Now for that second step, I was reading that dd was quite CPU intensive? Would there be other alternatives? Advices on doing backups? (2.) I've got no physical access to the box, and the box has obviously no video or sound. Considering this, would it possible to remotely administer the box using VNC in a GUI environment? - I figured 2Ghz could probably handle me starting x sometimes...! So if possible.. How would I do it? I`m assuming there are no `yum install x`.... Anyway.. Thanks for any input you may have on the both topics!

That's actually a very good point. The only thing is that the machine doesn't generate any revenue and so it'll heavlily depend on the price of the RAID controler really... I know there is none at the moment which is why I was looking into dd and tar. I've read that dd physically read/write every blocks of the disk whereas tar handles `zero-files` differently... Thus my question! > Never a good idea to run X when you dont need to. All > Administration can be done via config files on the command-line > and any system-config gui programs usually have a commandline > replacement anyway. But if you really wanted X check out > 'yum grouplist' and 'yum groupinstall "X Window System"' Good point, and I'm fully aware that one of the reasons win2k3 requires so much ram is the bloody UI! But I figured that with 2 ghz... I might give it a try! My concern tho' is really about configuring X... I've installed Centos on a test server here, and the X config is based on the server video/audio cards + monitor... What happens there there are none!!? :P Thx for your time... You made me realise that even RAID1 could be usefull (don't know why, I was under the impression that with only two disks raid wasn't worth it...!? Cheers Brad!

Hey John, that's a very interesting point you're raising. However how 'compatible' is openvpn with an M$ network? I mean is it a seemless integration or are there flaws? Having a quite Microsoft oriented network the idea sure would help in integrating new non-Ms servers to the network... Thanks for your input!

network prob on Centos 4.4/HP DL320 G2
by fredex 14 Sep '06

14 Sep '06

Hi! I've installed Centos 4.4 on a machine at work (it's a HP Proliant DL-320 G2 rackmout server that serves my desktop). In recent days (Centos 4.4 has only been installed for a little over a week), like, since Wed or Thu last week, every time I reboot Kudzu wants to remove the network adaptors then reinstall them and breaks the network. I've gone to the point of disabling one of the network ports in the BIOS (since I only use one of them anyway), and at first it worked when I rebooted, after doing the obligatory net configuration. Then the next time I rebooted Kudzu again wanted to remove and reinstall the network and it again didn't work after the reboot. Today I had to reboot again (because X went nutso and I lost my mouse pointer--I know, a reboot is overkill, don't remind me) and once again it broke the network when it rebooted. The network config GUI applet could not activate the net, it kept complaining that the MAC address of the adapter was not the one it expected. I removed (as the previous time) all the NETWORK items from /etc/sysconfig/hwconf and rebooted again, after which it came up. But I fully expect it to be broken yet again when I reboot next time. This machine ran RHEL WS 2.1 for something like 3 years and never had this kind of trouble, even with both ports enabled in the BIOS. I always used the tg3 driver that came with Linux, not the driver that HP offers. The only RPM I've installed that I got from HP is the one that installs "hpasm", because that's the one that turns the fans from "screaming jet engine" into "low roar". (this system contains a dozen or so small fans, all of which rotate at a gazillion rpm, all not quite the same speed, so you get a dozen slightly different pitches, causing heterodyning and the resultant throbbing along with the screaming if you don't use the hpasm module.)

If you're looking for a one command solution after making the required configuration changes, using the "service network restart" is likely your best bet. If you don't want to restart the entire network (which can cause service interuption depending on what is being serviced over the network), simply carrying out the steps you originally outlined while killing the dhclient process acting on the interface is probably the best approach since there is no association between ifconfig and dhclient.

Disabling IPv6 in Centos 4.x Experiences
by Erick Perez 13 Sep '06

13 Sep '06

Hi there, While I was looking "how to disable ipv6 under centos" I have found a gazzillion pages about how to do it and some of then even list things that i am not sure where they came from, so for the record I list most of them here in case someone else need them. Some of the methods involved the direct modification of system scripts, and I am against that so I wont list them here (removing the entire section of ipv6 calls in IFUP is not a good idea). How to disable ipv6 support in Centos 4.x Pick any method, a combo or all of them Method 1, add the line: alias net-pf-10 off to the /etc/modprobe.conf Method 2 Add to /etc/sysconfig/network file: NOZEROCONF=yes # Bonus: Disable the ugly generation of 169.254 zeroconf networks. NETWORKING_IPV6=no Note about method 2. I must mention the fact that I actually READ the entire ifup script and dependencies and I found that it calls at line 361: # if [ "${NETWORKING_IPV6}" = "yes" ]; then # /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ipv6 ${CONFIG} However adding the NETWORKING_IPV6=NO has no effect whatsoever because even after a reboot the interfaces continue to load an ipv6 address. BTW it does the same for zeroconf and doesn`t work either. Method 3: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-XXXXX file; IPV6INIT=no So pick your best method or a combo and let us know which one worked for you: In my case Centos 4.3 2.6.9-34.EL i386 with a pair of 3COM 3c905CX lan boards did not responded to Method 1 and 2 and 3. So I'm still battling with this ipv6 thing. Let me know your comments.

Unless this device is going to be switching from DCHP to static frequently, wouldn't simply killing the dhclient process be sufficient? If not, you could always simply write a shell function for ifconfig (if you're using bash, ksh or sh) that checks for an associated dhclient process when and interface is "down"'d and kills the associated dhclient process. Hope this helps, Justin. -----Original Message----- From: Alfred von Campe [mailto:alfred@110.net] Sent: Wednesday, September 13, 2006 2:06 PM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: [CentOS] Lingering dhclient issue I recently reconfigured some CentOS 4.3 systems that were using DHCP to use static IP addresses. At the same time, the systems were moved to a new VLAN. Here is the approximate sequence of events that took place: 1. ifdown eth0 2. edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 with static IP address 3. wait for network folks to reconfigure switch 4. ifup eth0 I may have reversed steps 1 and 2 on some of the systems. The problem was that the dhclient process didn't go away, and kept renewing the old lease. Our DHCP server is configured to contact the DNS server and update the entry for each host it serves. So the DNS entries for these systems were pointing to the old address in the old VLAN. The eth0 interface itself just kept the static IP address for which it was configured. It took me a while to figure out what was going on. My question is, what could I have done to avoid this (other than killing the dhclient process)? Is there a better way to reconfigure an interface to use a static address? I am not interested in solutions that involve using a GUI (i.e., only command line solutions).

Revisited - No fullscreen on FreeNX
by Jay Leafey 13 Sep '06

13 Sep '06

This topic came up some time back and I pretty much ignored it, but the "itch" came back to find out why. Searching through the FreeNX/knx list came up with the reason sessions did not come up full-screen even though the session definition was set to fullscreen. Apparently there is an oversight in /usr/bin/nxnode, the script is never retrieving the fullscreen flag from the parameters passed from the client. This is the case even in freenx-0.5.0-9.c4, the current version for CentOS 4. Here's a quick patch against the freenx-0.5.0-9.c4 version of /usr/bin/nxnode that resolves this issue: ***PATCH START*** --- nxnode.save 2006-09-13 12:01:31.000000000 -0500 +++ nxnode 2006-09-13 12:02:08.000000000 -0500 @@ -626,6 +626,7 @@ imagecompressionmethod=$(getparam imagecompressionmethod) imagecompressionlevel=$(getparam imagecompressionlevel) geometry=$(getparam geometry) + fullscreen=$(getparam fullscreen) keyboard=$(getparam keyboard) kbtype=$(getparam kbtype) media=$(getparam media) @@ -661,7 +662,6 @@ status=$(getparam status) host=$(getparam host) - fullscreen="" [ "$geometry" = "fullscreen" ] && fullscreen="1" [ "$EXPORT_USERIP" = "1" ] && export NXUSERIP="$userip" ***PATCH END*** After this patch, nxnode will respect the fullscreen flag if it is set in the configuration.

HAL Problems
by Christian Bolz 13 Sep '06

13 Sep '06

Hi, since the last few days my system crashs at startup of gdm (on system boot). If I choose runlevel 2, the system doesn't crash. I found out, that HAL is the problem. After disabling hal (chkconfig haldaemon --off) no crashes appear. The system freezes completly so I can't look into the logfiles. I removed an reinstalled hal already, but nothing changed. I tried older kernels releases and nothing changed. Any help would be nice! Regards, Christian

Another Tar stopper
by Robert Moskowitz 12 Sep '06

12 Sep '06

Well, I have been busy getting child #4 off on her way to college (joining #2). So now it is quite with just the 2 youngest and I can get work done again!. tar stops as follows: /root/.nautilus/metafiles/x-nautilus-desktop:%2F%2F52F.xml tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors. I thought perhaps this is some file locked becuase I was running from a terminal session in gnome. So I switched over to init 3 and ran the tar process from the text session. Still got this error. How do I figure out what is wrong and how do I find any similar show-stoppers?
