Samsung f3 hd502hj and Centos 5.4
by Tom Bishop 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Not sure if anyone has seen this probably not but thought that I would throw it out there, running centos 5.4 on a tyan s4985 and I wanted to add a hot swap drive cage to it so I added a supermicro cage and bought some drives, not wanting raid but something for storage and rsync backups. Well I decided to buy some of the newer samsung F3 hd502hj 500Gig hard drives, supposedly good performance for the price since they didnt have enough of them I bought some WD black 500G drives also. Well when I got everything back together I noticed that I was getting errors when centos was first trying to boot, the error was Comreset -16 sata1.... wash and repeat 4 times, then it did it a second time, finally it would time out and and start to boot. Once booted it did not see the 2 samsung drives but saw all of the other drives, didn't matter what channel etc...whether it was in the drive cage or not. I orginally thought it was the bios of the tyan board, which is bad, but to no avail. I finally booted one of the newer buntu livecd and all drives were picked up, so i wonder if it is a kernel issue..if anyone has any ideas or would like more info please let me know....other wise I will need to swap/sell some drives....Thanks. Here is the output from dmesg.... ***Failed**** ata7: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x3048 ctl 0x303c bmdma 0x3010 irq 98 ata8: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x3040 ctl 0x3038 bmdma 0x3018 irq 98 ata7: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x3048 ctl 0x303c bmdma 0x3010 irq 98 ata8: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x3040 ctl 0x3038 bmdma 0x3018 irq 98 ata7: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0) ata7: COMRESET failed (errno=-16) ata7: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0) ata7: COMRESET failed (errno=-16) ata7: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0) ata7: COMRESET failed (errno=-16) ata7: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps ata7: COMRESET failed (errno=-16) ata7: reset failed, giving up ata8: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0) ata8: COMRESET failed (errno=-16) ata8: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0) ata8: COMRESET failed (errno=-16) ata8: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0) ata8: COMRESET failed (errno=-16) ata8: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps ata8: COMRESET failed (errno=-16) ata8: reset failed, giving up

upgrading 32-bit installation to 64-bit
by fred smith 07 Mar '10

07 Mar '10

Hi! I've got a 32-bit Centos installed on an AMD Phenom II X2 processor and I'm interested ni making it 64 bit instead. But I'd sure like to avoid having to go back thru the whole installation again... in part because I've got sotware RAID set up and I'm assuming that I can't do a fresh install into it without having to re-configure the whole thing. So, is it possible (and practical) to upgrade a 32 bit system to 64? Thanks! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .---- Fred Smith / ( /__ ,__. __ __ / __ : / / / / /__) / / /__) .+' Home: fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us / / (__ (___ (__(_ (___ / :__ 781-438-5471 -------------------------------- Jude 1:24,25 ---------------------------------

is it possible to recover LVM drive from accidental Fdisk?
by Rudi Ahlers 07 Mar '10

07 Mar '10

Hi all, Does anyone know if it's possible to recover an LVM partition from a drive that was fdisked? I accidently fdisk'd the wrong drive (had to fdisk a lot of 160GB drivers from old servers and one still has important data on that client now wants) by running fdisk /dev/sdc & deleting the partitions. The drive is still in a another machine and hasn't been rebooted yet, but there's no no partition on it. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

upgrading a wordpress install
by David Mehler 07 Mar '10

07 Mar '10

Hello, I'm running wordpress via rpm on centos 5.4 i believe it is. There's a new version out v .92 and am wanting to upgrade to it. I'm trying the automatic install and am being prompted for credentials. Googling shows this is most likely a permissions problem. I was wondering what the right permissions were to allow automatic upgrades of wordpress, plugins, and/or themes? Thanks. Dave.

iptables bugs going untended?
by Paul Graydon 06 Mar '10

06 Mar '10

Hi, I submitted a bug report, 0004193 and did a forum post: http://centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=24748&forum=42 regarding a bug / problem I keep coming up against with CentOS 5.x's kernel. I've done a load of searching on the subject but can't see any references on any CentOS list or mantis, so I'm trying to follow up and see if anyone can work on it, though there are references to it occurring in other distributions/kernels, though I'm yet to see a reference to a solution though it logically must exist. This problem is way beyond my expertise. Unfortunately I've not seen any response at all with the bug submission, and checking over mantis it would appear not much is done regarding iptables, there are a number of bug reports that are sitting in a new state (http://bugs.centos.org/search.php?project_id=0&search=iptables&sticky_issue…) having been automatically assigned to kbsingh(a)karan.org. Is there any chance someone can help me progress with this bug at all? I really do want to avoid compiling iptables and ipset and using them on the servers not out of inability or laziness, but from the patching, security and server consistency perspective (one of the bonus points of using distributions like CentOS) Paul
