My guess is you had old version of tzdata package, that was updated to current version sometime in the past. Now, if you look which package owns /etc/localtime and /usr/share/zoneinfo stuff, you get: # rpm -qf /etc/localtime glibc-2.3.4-2.13 # rpm -qf /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern tzdata-2005m-1.EL4 As far as I can see, tzdata package has no pre/postinstall scripts associated with it. That would mean /etc/localtime doesn't get updated when tzdata is updated. Unless I missed something, it's probably a bug in tzdata RPM package. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I am thinking of using this controller with 8 x 80gbyte SATA drives an Raid 5, on Centos 4.x does anyone have experience of this type of setup and what type of performance can I expect on a AMD dual 2.8Ghz MP cpu system with 2gb ram? Thanks Denis

Many thanks, that was basically the problem. It wasn't Canadian time, but it was the wrong /etc/localtime.

firefox update extensions
by Dave 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

The update feature in FF appears to be disabled, which is fine since I upgrade from the repositories. But it looks like the extension updates are disabled as well. Even if I go to the extensions menu, right click on update they don't seem to update. Is there a setting to enable extension updates? I set extension.update.autoupdate to true in about:config and that didn't seem to help.

Kernel compilation - 2.6, x86_64, CentOS4.1
by John Logsdon 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

Hi I am having trouble compiling some 2.6 kernels on a x86_64 box under CentOS4.1. I cannot use xconfig at all and menuconfig on my system is unreadable. It appears to be something to do with the Qt library but I have all the necessary bits installed: qt-devel-3.3.3-9.3 qt-3.3.3-9.3 but note that the second of these only is installed both for x86 and x86_64 - the first is installed for x86_64 only. I have tried both the standard kernel 2.6.9-11.EL-smp-x86_64 and also 2.6.11.12 and the same problem exists. Googling around, it appears to be to do with a makefile in scripts/kconfig and none of the fixes work. On issuing make xconfig, the messages always end up: HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/qconf /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/qconf] Error 1 make: *** [xconfig] Error 2 and the fixes suggest removing the middle two lines in scripts/kconfig/Makefile (starting at line 130 for the 2.6.11.12 case): LIBPATH=$$DIR/lib; LIB=qt; \ - $(HOSTCXX) -print-multi-os-directory > /dev/null 2>&1 && \ - LIBPATH=$$DIR/lib/$$($(HOSTCXX) -print-multi-os-directory); \ if [ -f $$LIBPATH/libqt-mt.so ]; then LIB=qt-mt; fi; \ But that still returns the same fault. Can anyone advise? The same kernel compiles perfectly on an x86 box.

Will running this update to centos 3.6 include the mail extensions for php-4.3.2-25.ent.centos.1? I cannot find any information listed as to the 0000999 bug report in either the php-4.3.2-25.ent.centos.1.i386.rpm or php-4.3.2-25.ent.centos.1.src.rpm files. Thank you!

root file system on multipathed device and some other questions
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

I was playing a bit with multipathed devices (over two FC HBAs on SAN) last week (I had some hardware for limited time to play with). The support for multipathing in device mapper seems to be a bit newer thing, and I was left with couple of questions (things I haven't managed to try out while I had the hardware)... Is it possible to have root file system on multipathed device? I guess in this case some multipathing setup would need to occur when init scritps from initrd image are run, but I don't think mkinitrd is capable of generating such scripts (I might create it by hand, though, but than it wouldn't be recreated correctly on kernel upgrades). What about LVM? If I define physical volume on multipathed device, when vgscan is run from initrd image, and say multipathing is not setup yet, it will scan (for example) /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, which both point to same device. Is it going to be confused when it finds something that looks to it as two identical physical volumes? Or if vgscan is run after multipathing is setup, it would see something that might look to it as three identical physical volumes. /dev/sda and /dev/sdb which represent two paths to the same device, and then /dev/mapper/WWPN (where WWPN is long hex number) which is just multipathed mapping to sda and sdb. Or would it be smart enough not to use sda and sdb in this case, and use only "multipathed" device entry from /dev/mapper? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

More info on 3Ware 9550SX from the field (in case anyone else is interested)
by Chris Mauritz 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

From a buddy of mine that has spent a little time with the new cards. This was in response to my email asking about his impressions of them: It just came out in mid-September. There are a couple reasons I'm not thrilled with it: 1) no 8-port multilane version (only 12) 2) the 8-port non-multilane version is a kludge, connector-wise (a row of 3 double-stacked connectors along the edge, for 6 ports, and 2 double-stacked connectors in the middle of the board, of which the first connector in the stack is a dummy) 3) They are only on the first release of the software (9.3.0, the first- ship release, didn't work, and they released 9.3.0.1). At some point they will ship a unified release for the 9550 and 9500, but that's a ways off 4) no BBU support (yet).

CentOS + GFS + EtherDrive
by Bowie Bailey 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

I am considering building a pair of storage servers that will be using CentOS and GFS to share the storage from a Coraid (SATA+Raid) EtherDrive shelf. Has anyone else tried such a setup? Is GFS stable enough to use in a production environment? There is a build of GFS 6.1 at http://rpm.karan.org/el4/csgfs/. Has anyone used this? Is it stable? Will I run into any problems if I use CentOS 3.5 with it's GFS package to access a shared 5TB filesystem? I've been googling on this stuff off and on for a month now. I've found a bunch of conflicting and confusing information, but no clear answers. I've been kind of hoping that the new GFS 6.1 packages would be released while I was waiting... :) I appreciate any suggestions or pointers. Bowie

vsftpd resource hogging on 4.2
by Chris Mauritz 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

I've just noticed an odd bit of behaviour with 4.2. I'm using FTP to send a number of large binary files from a windows 2000 machine to a CentOS 4.2 system. Both systems are similarly configured (Athlon64 3200+, 1gig RAM, 80gig system disk, 1.2TB scratch RAID 0 array, gigabit ether to a dumb switch on which they are the only hosts). On the very first file, about 17.5gigs, I got about 30MB/sec. Not spectacular, but reasonably fast. On subsequent files, I only get about 25% of that throughput and vsftpd on the CentOS machine is eating 99.9% of the cpu, which is probably what is killing performance. Both machines are reading or writing to a RAID 0 array of 4 reasonably fast drives so I'm assuming that's not the bottleneck. I've also disabled SElinux and iptables on the Linux machine since the machines are in a non-internet sandbox. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,

I am apparently doing something wrong somewhere, as I cannot get sendmail to listen on port 25. I've edited the sendmail.mc, commenting out the daemon process on port 127, rerun the m4 macro, rebuilt per documentation on sendmail, yet I still get a refusal on connection when trying to telnet to port 25. Is there something else I'm overlooking causing sendmail to not listen on port 25? Getting desperate now! Sam -- Snowman

Bother
by Sam Drinkard 05 Nov '05

05 Nov '05

This afternoon, after my fiasco with the other machine, I decided to bring the drive home and install it in the primary machine here, boot from the normal drive, then mount the 4.1 i386 drive so I could make changes and check things. What happened next was totally unexpected. After decompressing the kernel and starting the boot, there were all kinds of error messages scrolling off the screen, and so fast, I could not see what it was all about, but the boot halted at some point. After seeing that, I decided maybe it was not a good idea after all, but I'd done the same thing with an i386 version 3.5 with no problems. Is there some reason why I should not be able to boot from my normal drive, CentOS 4.2 x86_64, but still have the 4.1 i386 version on a secondary drive, even tho it was not automounted? Also, while on the subject, I found out that a FreeBSD drive is not mountable under Linux. It recognized the drive as a Sun ufs drive. Don't suppose there is any way around that problem is there?

Sendmail
by Sam Drinkard 05 Nov '05

05 Nov '05

I know this is a "generic" question, but fully CentOS related. I attempted to set up i386 v.4.1 on my primary computer at the co-located site, and thought I had everything squared away till I discovered the machine was refusing mail connections. AFIK, I had no firewall or other objects blocking port 25. It has been my experience that with most arch's and versions where sendmail is the stock mta, they always seem to work out of the box with no tweaking at all. I have got to get this set up but will do it on a test machine rather than the production machine. Between that prblem and the changes between bind 8 and 9, I was dead in the water from the outset. Back online with the BSD machine for the time being. Any reason why mail connections would be refused ? (yes sendmail was running too) Thanks.. Sam

Visibility aside, isn't rc.local much too late for setting up iptables? My /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/ has an S08iptables and an S10network, then lots more, including an S99local, and then after all this, rc.local is run. By this time, the network has already been up. It seems to me that if you want to do some iptables setup, it must be done before S10network, or it leaves a short-time security hole. Personally, I set up the iptables I want and then do service iptables save If I was worried about changes, I guess I'd modify S08iptables to check that nothing has changed, or add an S07checkiptables script.

Seeing the latest round of updates rolling in.... I just 'again' felt the need to say "Hats Off" (pun intended) to the CentOS team! The organization very much behind the scenes is not apparent, but very much must exist. It almost looks like there is an 'internal' competition between members, each trying to roll out the updates faster than the other. I know this must be a bit of a grueling task and one that interrupts the day's activities. Again, GREAT job folks!!! And a big THANKS!! John Hinton

multipath failover
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

I got a chance to play a bit with new device-mapper-multipath. Unless I missed something obvios, docs seems to still be in the making. Could somebody point me to some docs for /etc/multipath.conf file? Couple of questions (I have very limited time I'll have access to hardware, sorry if I'm asking some obvious stuff). I managed to get things working by typing "multipath" from command line (the device in /dev/mapper created and working OK). However if I start using the device (create file system, mount it, do some I/O on it), and than unplug active path, after short delay I get failover to secondary path. However, by that time ext3 device driver decides something went wrong with the journal, and file system goes to read-only mode. I can unmount it and mount it again rw, but, hm, that's not why I have multiple paths. Any way around this? Is it possible to have root file system on multipathed device? Asking for support for that in Anaconda is probably too much to ask, but is it possible to do it by little manual work?

Fwd: [Rpm-devel] rpm-4.4.3-0.34 for CentOS3
by James Olin Oden 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

If anyone would like to help test the latest RPM on Centos 3, heres your chance. There are several new features that are not mentioned in Jeff's email, but as he said he wants to make sure it does no harm more than anything else. As an example though, this version supports: - runtime depedency checking (think of being able to have cpan modules that weren't installed by rpm being detected, or crazy dependency like requires a particular processor of a particular stepping). - autorollback patches are worked in (this is still in progress and experimental, but, 4.4.3 will be the first official release of rpm with the latest autorollback code). There are other features add also, and of course many fixes. Cheers and Enjoy...james ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jeff Johnson <jbj(a)jbj.org> Date: Nov 3, 2005 5:47 PM Subject: [Rpm-devel] rpm-4.4.3-0.34 for CentOS3 To: RPM internals development and distro coordination <rpm-devel(a)lists.dulug.duke.edu> I've compiled rpm-4.4.3-0.34 against CenTOS3. There is a yum repository with the necessary packages at http://wraptastic.org/pub/i386-CentOS3-linux/RPMS Note that these packages are compiled with --with-mutex=UNIX/fcntl. If you are wrestling with NPTL issues and rpm databases, then these packages will almost certainly help.

There are still uses for fcntl locking with, say, build trees for - NPTL legacy linux systesm, like rpmforge, and perhaps others, are doing, where fcntl locking is a far saner choice than posix mutexes because of the mixed +/-NPTL environment. Any/all help checking the CentOS3 rpm-4.4.3-0.34 is appreciated. I'm mainly interested in verifying rpm-4.4.3-0.34 does no harm. on CentOS3 (and RHL9) rather than testing of new features.

CentOS for axp and sparc arch (info)

Hi, I have initiated discussion about arch specific list at least twice among out core people to no avail, so i did make something i can do about it and created few list on host that i do admin myself. The reason for this is that this list is far too high traffic for most of discussion. I've personally received questions about arch specific lists as this is just too high traffic and people has just unsubscribed from this. http://upi.iki.fi/mailman/listinfo/ I don't make any promises about how long those lists are hosted, but i try to keep those forever. Hope this makes some progress on discussion about problems with these 'out of mainstream' arches. -- Pasi Pirhonen - upi(a)iki.fi - http://iki.fi/upi/
