Digital IO card and /proc/devices
by JCT 19 Jan '05

19 Jan '05

Hi all, I am having problems to get the SeaLevel IO card to work with CentOS distro. Basically the card is being recognised and shown by lspci BUT /proc/devices file is not updated with the new devices does anyone know why. ? Could someone tell me what/where infos are needed to get /proc/devices to be updated. The reason I require the /proc/devices infos is because I want to run a mknod command with those infos. This is rather urgent so any help will be much appreciated. ========= [root@machine]# ./seaio-load Warning: kernel-module version mismatch /opt/relay/lib/modules/seaio.o was compiled for kernel version 2.4.21-20.EL.c0smp while this kernel is version 2.4.21-20.0.1.ELsmp Warning: /opt/relay/lib/modules/seaio.o symbol for parameter break_on_load not found Warning: loading /opt/pmx-relay/lib/modules/seaio.o will taint the kernel: no license See http://www.tux.org/lkml/#export-tainted for information about tainted modules Warning: loading /opt/relay/lib/modules/seaio.o will taint the kernel: forced load Module seaio loaded, with warnings mknod: wrong number of arguments Try `mknod --help' for more information. mknod: wrong number of arguments Try `mknod --help' for more information. mknod: wrong number of arguments Try `mknod --help' for more information. mknod: wrong number of arguments Try `mknod --help' for more information. chgrp: failed to get attributes of `/dev/dio[0-3]': No such file or directory chmod: failed to get attributes of `/dev/dio[0-3]': No such file or directory lsmod output ========== Module Size Used by Tainted: PF seaio 8784 0 (unused) Kernel version :- ============ Linux pdc-svr3 2.4.21-20.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Dec 2 23:06:40 GMT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux lspci output ========== 03:06.0 Class ff00: Sealevel Systems Inc: Unknown device 8012 (rev 01) /etc/sysconfig/hwconf output ======================= class: OTHER bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: unknown desc: "Sealevel Systems Inc|unknown device 135e:8012" vendorId: 135e deviceId: 8012 subVendorId: 135e subDeviceId: 8012 pciType: 1 pcibus: 3 pcidev: 6 pcifn: 0 -- Regards JC

clamav-milter verification on Centos 3.3
by Joe Polk 19 Jan '05

19 Jan '05

Hello! I'm running clamav-milter, clamd, and sendmail on CentOS 3.3 (RHEL3). I'm trying to verify that my milter works. I've sent test emails from testvirus.org but they don't appear to be getting flagged. I don't see anything in the logs to indicate they were. Is there a sure-fire way to know? Also, how should the clamd work? Does it watch the filesystem? Or will it only work on a scan? -- <<JAV>>

SuperServer 6024H-82R and Centos 3.3
by Joe Polk 18 Jan '05

18 Jan '05

I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have any familiarity with this server? It uses the Super X6DH8-G2 motherboard. Currently, we've added an Adaptec 2120S Ultra320 RAID PCI Controller Card to get RAID 5 capability. The installation bombs and from what I can tell it looks like we're getting SCSI resets or the controller is going offline maybe. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. -- <<JAV>>

Mod_Throttle for Apache 2?
by Matt Shields 17 Jan '05

17 Jan '05

We have some custom software that is put out on our 6 clustered(balanced) webservers. Every 5 minutes that software checks into our server for a new version, if there is a new version it downloads it (20MB file). This happens about 2-3 times per month. Currently there are over 10000 clients that need to download the update. Up until this past week we were able to handle the load and this is putting a serious strain on our webservers. We were hoping to throttle the amount of traffic that each of the webservers would take and the bandwidth that each client consumes. Previously I've used Mod_Throttle for Apache 1.3 on other projects, but on our new servers they are running Apache 2. So are there any similar solutions for Apache 2? -- Matt Shields http://masnetworks.biz http://shieldsmedia.com (currently under construction) http://shieldsproductions.com (currently under construction)

bind and 3.4
by Francois Caen 17 Jan '05

17 Jan '05

Hello, I encountered a problem when upgrading from 3.3 to 3.4 on i386. The machine is a production name server running bind. Looks like the new rpm moved my named.conf to .rpmsave and chkconfig'ed bind to off. That's really bad. A more gentle behavior would have been to save the new named.conf to .rpmnew and not mess with initscripts. Anyone else notice that? Francois Caen

Guide to stripping Centos 3
by R P Herrold 16 Jan '05

16 Jan '05

I responded to a post in the Dell poweredge mailing list earlier today. My answer was off the top of my head, with a bit of experimentation. The content may be useful in the Cenyos context as well to admin's looking to strip the size of an install to the bare bones. Comment welcomed. Can anyone see any packages which I have missed? -- Russ Herrold ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 15 Jan 2005 12:29:12 -0500 (EST) From: R P Herrold <herrold(a)owlriver.com> To: linux-poweredge(a)dell.com Subject: Re: dell-lnx-pe] Re: Stripping RHEL 3.0? > At 07:58 PM 1/14/2005 -0500, David Hubbard wrote: >> Does anyone know of a good guide for stripping >> down RHEL 3.0? <snip> >> Due to all the dependencies >> I can't find a way to actually strip RHEL in a way >> that leaves everything happy. Great timing and a good question -- I was just building such a host. I'll test for a bit to minimize size. Kickstart and anaconda are your friends. Here is a quick guide: During each install, a file called 'ks.cfg' is left by anaconda in /root/ At the end of this post, I include the ks.cfg file which will build a stripped host. I have done a couple test installs, and gone through the resulting packagelist using; rpm -qa --qf '%{size} %{name} \n' | sort -n | less to see what I could add with the '-' prefix at the bottom of the file. (I have left in there a couple 'conveneince packages' and I usually add one extravagance -- I prefer 'konsole' to pop back as a remote terminal and so pay its space penalty, but comment it out here) As I said, I 'went hunting' and trimmed it down to 465 M ; more savings are possible. The worst remaining mandatory 'size offenders' in the install are: glibc-common 42M perl 27M kernel 22M Not much more we can do there. But ... Once the install is done, turn off auditting: chkconfig audit off service audit stop and reclaim the LARGE (100M) amout of room these files eat up cd /var/log/audit.d/ rm -f * Unfortunately the package is not deletable as there are dependency issues. As I say. I then end up at: 465M Using a network install from a local mirror and a ks.cf file permits 'gameing' to see what changed in the ks.cfg result in a given size profile. See my notes at: http://www.owlriver.com/tips/pxe-install/ for more information on setting up and debugging such an environment. It permits experimentation with fast test installs (under ten minutes per test shot, even on a low RAM host (64M)) to 'tune' for a desired result. -- Russ Herrold [root@ftp kickstart]# cat ks.cfg-Centos_34 # # Centos 34 server - built to be tiny as possible # install lang en_US.UTF-8 langsupport --default en_US.UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8 keyboard us mouse genericwheelps/2 --device psaux url --url ftp://10.16.33.105/pub/install/ftpinstall # xconfig --card "RIVA128" --videoram 4096 --hsync 31.5-35.1 --vsync 50-61 --resolution 1280x800 --depth 24 skipx network --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp # rootpw --iscrypted <elided> firewall --disabled # not yet in RHEL 3 # selinux --disabled authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5 timezone America/New_York bootloader --location=mbr # --append hdb=ide-scsi # The following is the partition information you requested # Note that any partitions you deleted are not expressed # here so unless you clear all partitions first, this is # not guaranteed to work clearpart --all --drives=hda part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=hda part / --fstype ext3 --size=1024 --grow --ondisk=hda part /var/spool --fstype ext3 --size=1024 --grow --ondisk=hda part /var/cache --fstype ext3 --size=1024 --grow --ondisk=hda part /var/log --fstype ext3 --size=1024 --grow --ondisk=hda part swap --size=128 --grow --maxsize=256 --ondisk=hda # basically a unconfigured server - the new 2005 Centurion %packages kernel elinks grub joe lftp lynx rdate rpm-build rsync yum # kdebase -apmd -autofs -centos-yumcache -comps -cups -cups-libs -eal3-certification -eal3-certification-doc -finger -freetype -ipsec-tools -iptables -iptables-ipv6 -irda-utils -iscsi-initiator-utils -isdn4k-utils -krb5-libs -krb5-workstation -krbafs-utils -kernel-pcmcia-cs -libwvstreams -mdadm -mgetty -mtr -nano -nfs-utils -pam_krb5 -pam_smb -parted -portmap -raidtools -redhat-config-network-tui -redhat-config-securitylevel-tui -redhat-logos -redhat-menues -redhat-lsb -rpmdb-redhat -stunnel -sysreport -talk -tftp -specspo -vconfig -wireless-tools -wvdial -xinetd -ypbind -yp-tools # If you use yum, you do not need: -up2date -up2date-update %post [root@ftp kickstart]#

Loosing keyboard
by dan1 15 Jan '05

15 Jan '05

Hello. I am experiencing a problem with CentOS 3, it's that when I start Xwindow, my keyboard is lost and I can't do anything anymore. The Num Lock doesn't react nor the Caps lock. It's like if it would just be disabled. If I quit Xwindow, then my keyboard comes back again, working perfectly. Did anybody also have this problem ? I had a look elsewhere but didn't see anything helpful. My XF86Config file has a normal input section and I tried to change it without success. The current one: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "keyboard" EndSection Of course I also changed the physical keyboard. Thanks for any pointers, Daniel No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. Version: 7.0.300 / Virus Database: 265.6.11 - Release Date: 12.01.2005

PHP+Oracle problem
by Mezei Zoltan 14 Jan '05

14 Jan '05

Hi! I have succesfully installed Oracle 9.2.0.4 on Centos. Everything is fine with it. Then I recompiled php-4.3.2-19.ent.src.rpm with rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'oracle 1' php-4.3.2-19.ent.src.rpm The compilation was successful, and I got the php and the php-oci8 rpms. Then I installed them both. After this one running the following PHP script: <?php $c = ocilogon("wonttell", "wonttell", "WONTTELL"); ocilogoff($c); ?> by issuing the command: php < oracle_test.php executed with segfault. The strace output is available at: http://www.telefor1.hu:7000/segfault.txt Strance, but when invoked the script from the web it runs flawlessly. Can anybody point to a solution that solves this problem? -- Zizi

Hey all - does RHES4/CentOS4 beta contain a recent integration of Subversion?

Problem with SCSI controllers: Anaconda (and kernel option for grub/lilo)
by Ralph Angenendt 13 Jan '05

13 Jan '05

Hi, I do seem to have a slight problem with upgrading two of our machines to CentOS (from SuSE, but that doesn't really matter). Both systems are IBM x-Series 360 with a ServeRaid controller for the "internal" hard disks an a QLogic QLA2200 fibre channel controller for an external stack of disks. On SuSE (kernel 2.4.26) the ServeRaid is controller 0 (resulting in the internal Raid Array being /dev/sda) and the QLogic controller is controller 1 (with the external disks being /dev/sdb). With CentOS (yes, I did an unattended kickstart install) the QLogic is recognized as the first controller, the ServeRaid as the second, so CentOS is installed on the external disks (which kills the database residing there). Is there any possibility (be it software or hardware if anyone knows the x360) to tell CentOS, that the ServeRaid controller has to be recognized as the first controller and the QLogic as the second? This goes for installation *and* operation later on, by way of a kernel command line or whatever.

I am having a problem during install of centos 3.4 I am getting an error which says: "The partition table on device /dev/sdb is of unexpected type loop for your architecture. Do you want to reinitialize the drive?" Searching google i found: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=90635 Which was from a while ago and its currently in closed status with no resolution provided?? Does anyone have any more info about this? I currently have FC3 installed on this machine and /dev/sdb is indeed working just fine. sdb is a sata drive connected to a promise controller on my motherboard. sda is also connected to this controller and it gets detected just fine. Any ideas? Thanks. -Jim

Removal of CentOS 3.1 from mirrors
by Lance Davis 12 Jan '05

12 Jan '05

With the release of CentOS 3.4 the decision has been taken to remove CentOS 3.1 from the mirrors. This will save approximately 18 GB of space and make room for new architectures and CentOS 4.0 . CentOS 3.1 was superceded by CentOS 3.3 in September, and at that time a new centos-release rpm was pushed into the 3.1 tree to update users to 3.3 . The only people that wont be updated are those that may have hardcoded 3.1 into their yum.conf and for them we have been pushing updates back into the 3.1 tree. Now 3.1 is a symlink to 3.3 so that even if they have hardcoded yum.conf (dont !!) they will now get the 3.3 tree, which will make little difference as the updates were all in the 3.1 tree anyway. 3.1 was only released for i386.

Re: [Centos] Regarding postfix dep for redhat-lsb

ok i checked the spec file and it has the path: Requires: /usr/sbin/groupdel Requires: /usr/sbin/groupmod Requires: /usr/sbin/sendmail <------- SENDMAIL mentioned here On my production server: I have the following: a symbolic link to the sendmail which qmail uses: sendmail -> /var/qmail/bin/sendmail I guess I could edit the SPEC file and remove the sendmail line, correct? or edit it in a way that it checks for either the symlink or the regular link for people who might be using qmail as there prefered mail system.

RE: [Centos] bind and 3.4
by Holmes, Brent 12 Jan '05

Heads up if anyone removes the caching-nameserver rpm after they fix their init scripts and replace their named.conf, it also renames your named.ca to named.ca.rpmsave( I believe this happens when you uninstall the caching-nameserver rpm, it also moves named.conf back to named.rpmsave again). So you have to move that back before you can successfully restart named.

The purpose of caching-nameserver is to setup a "caching-only-DNS" box ... the only way to setup a "caching-only-DNS" box is to remove the current named.conf file and replace it with a new one that defines it as a "caching-only-DNS" box :) The lesson learned is ... once you setup your box as a DNS zone control box, backup the named.conf file and remove the package caching-nameserver ... OR ... don't install it in the first place. My guide has been updated to remove the caching-nameserver package after finishing zone setup :). -- Johnny Hughes <http://www.HughesJR.com/> _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)caosity.org http://lists.caosity.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

CentOS-3 i386 errata : caching-nameserver 3.4 update causes problems
by Lance Davis 12 Jan '05

12 Jan '05

I have removed the updated caching-nameserver from the core OS repo of CentOS 3.4 i386 as there have been reports of nameservers losing their configuration and stopping when the update was applied. I have reverted caching-nameserver in the 3.4 core OS back to the CentOS 3.3 version caching-nameserver-7.2-7.noarch.rpm. The new version caching-nameserver-7.3-3_EL3.noarch.rpm is now in the testing repo of 3.4. The new version is still in the .isos but it should be safe for new installs. Lance
