simple NFSv4 setup
by Joshua Baker-LePain 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

I'm trying to setup a simple NFSv4 mount between two x86_64 hosts. On the server, I have this in /etc/exports: /export $CLIENT(ro,fsid=0) /export/qb3 $CLIENT(rw,nohide) ON $CLIENT, I mount via: mount -t nfs4 $SERVER:/qb3 /usr/local/sge62/qb3 However: $ touch /usr/local/sge62/qb3/foo touch: cannot touch `/usr/local/sge62/qb3/foo': Read-only file system I'd really rather not export the pseudo-root read-write, so how do I get this working? Any hints would be appreciated -- thanks. -- Joshua Baker-LePain QB3 Shared Cluster Sysadmin UCSF

Recommended approach for adding PATA_IT8213 support via RPM
by Kurt Newman 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

My question is: Anyone know of a howto of some sort (or perhaps any instructions) for creating a kernel module to add support for a particular device. I need to get support for the PATA_IT8213 hardware. Supplementary information: I've read http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BuildingKernelModules and http://www.kerneldrivers.org/RedHatKernelModulePackages. However, it seems the underlying assumption for these two HOWTOs is that you have separate source code for the modules. Support for the PATA_IT8213 is already in the kernel. However, the stock rhel kernel does not support it, even as a module. I know I could simply rebuild the source RPM with modified kernel config files, but that feels less than satisfactory since I'm not forced to maintain my own kernel module if I decide to upgrade. Any suggestions?

Intel i7-940, DX58S0 motherboard, Radeon X1950 Pro video card
by Frank Cox 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

This computer is my main desktop machine --- an Intel i7-940 CPU and DX58S0 motherboard with a Radeon X1950 Pro video card. It's currently running Fedora 11 and working just fine. However, I have been slowly moving all of my "computer stuff" off of Fedora and onto Centos, and this (and my Acer Aspire One laptop) are the only Fedora installations that I now have left. Does anyone have any experience with this CPU, motherboard and video card on Centos? This hardware (sound, video, ethernet, what-have-you) works fine on Fedora 11; can I expect it to also work fine with Centos 5.4? The ethernet isn't a big deal because I can easily slap another network card into it, but the rest isn't quite so easy to substitute. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

kdump location recommendations?
by Florin Andrei 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

I need to make a decision on the configuration of the kdump location for a bunch of new machines. It seems like using a raw partition directly is the safest choice, right? If I configure it to dump vmcore on a filesystem, and the filesystem gets corrupted somehow, then the dump will fail. Same for network-based dumps (the remote end may be unavailable due to a number of reasons). The local storage is a couple SATA drives with hardware-based mirror RAID. The chassis is a Dell PowerEdge. Also, what it the recommended size for a dedicated raw partition for kdump? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org

Problem with Samba on CentOS 5.3
by Kaplan, Andrew H. 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

Hi there -- I am having an issue with the Samba package, release 3.033375, that came bundled with the CentOS 5.3 distribution. It seems that even though I created the smbpasswd file, located at the /etc/samba directory, I am unable to modify the password of the users listed in it. I can run the /usr/bin/smbpasswd -a <username> command as root, and even though there are no errors, a subsequent check of the smbpasswd file indicates the username in question is still listed with the series of X's and NO PASSWORD indicator. I have confirmed through the find command the only instances of smbpasswd are those at the /etc/samba and /usr/bin locations. Has anyone seen this issue, and aside from installing samba from source, have a solution to this problem? Thanks.

All, I'm running CentOS 5.4 and I've installed the CentOS Directory Server by running yum -y install centos-ds* without any errors. But as soon as I attempt to run the setup I get the following: [root@jpdsys3 ~]# /usr/sbin/setup-ds-admin.pl Can't locate Setup.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib64/dirsrv/perl /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 .) at /usr/sbin/setup-ds-admin.pl line 24.

High load averages with latest kernel and USB drives?
by Benjamin Smith 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

I'm having a server report a high load average when backing up Postgres database files to an external USB drive. This is driving my loadbalancers all out of kilter and causing a large volume of network monitor alerts. I have a 1TB USB drive plugged into a USB2 port that I use to back up the production drives (which are SCSI). It's working fine, but while doing backups (hourly) the load average on the server shoots up from the normal 0.5 - 1.5 or so up to a high between 10 and 30. Strangely, even though the "load is high" the server is completely responsive, even the USB drives being accessed are! Backup script is really simple, run via cron, pretty much just: #! /bin/sh hour=`date +%k`; pg_dump <options> mydatabase > /media/backups/mydatabase.$hour.pgsql; where /media/backups is the mount point for the USB drive. Using top to diagnose, nothing seems to be particularly high! IoWait seems reasonable (10-30%) and CPUs are 0.5%, Idle is 70-90%. Even accessing the USB partition while the load is "high" is responsive! I'm guessing that something changed in how load average is counted? Server Stats: Late model 8-way Xeon, SuperMicro brand. CentOS 4.x / 64 (all updates applied, booted after last kernel update) Kernel 2.6.9-89.0.16.ELsmp 4 GB ECC RAM 300 GB SCSI HDD. Standard Apache/PHP, Postgres 8.4. Any idea how to revert to the old load average tracking behavior short of using a stale and potentially insecure kernel? -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
