help with rebuilding md0 (Raid5)
by Daniel Bird 21 May '09

21 May '09

Sorry, this is going to be a rather long post...Here's the situation; I have 4 IDE disks from an old snap server which fails to mount the raid array. We believe there is a controller error on the SNAP so we've put them in another box running CentOS 5 and can see the disks OK. hda thru hdd looks like this Disk /dev/hdd: 185.2 GB, 185283624960 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 22526 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdd1 * 1 2 16041+ 83 Linux /dev/hdd2 3 70 546210 83 Linux /dev/hdd3 71 138 546210 5 Extended /dev/hdd4 139 21781 173844468 83 Linux /dev/hdd5 71 104 273104+ 83 Linux /dev/hdd6 105 138 273104+ 83 Linux I can mount hdX1 and hdX2 (hdx2 is xfs) on all disks. Now /etc/raidtab (from one of the hdx2 partions) has the following entry which I'd like to re-create on the CentOS box raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level 5 nr-raid-disks 4 nr-spare-disks 0 persistent-superblock 1 chunk-size 64 device /dev/hda4 raid-disk 0 device /dev/hdc4 raid-disk 1 device /dev/hde4 raid-disk 2 device /dev/hdg4 raid-disk 3 I've also checked the superblocks /dev/hda4: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 00.90.00 UUID : a72e334f:a9ccba81:bba665d8:82a3c378 Creation Time : Mon Jun 30 12:00:28 2003 Raid Level : raid5 Used Dev Size : 173844352 (165.79 GiB 178.02 GB) Array Size : 521533056 (497.37 GiB 534.05 GB) Raid Devices : 4 Total Devices : 3 Preferred Minor : 0 Update Time : Tue May 19 21:40:43 2009 State : active Active Devices : 2 Working Devices : 2 Failed Devices : 1 Spare Devices : 0 Checksum : cbe14089 - correct Events : 0.22 Layout : left-asymmetric Chunk Size : 64K Number Major Minor RaidDevice State this 0 3 4 0 active sync /dev/hda4 0 0 3 4 0 active sync /dev/hda4 1 1 22 4 1 faulty /dev/hdc4 2 2 0 0 2 faulty removed 3 3 34 4 3 active sync /dev/hdb4: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 00.90.00 UUID : a72e334f:a9ccba81:bba665d8:82a3c378 Creation Time : Mon Jun 30 12:00:28 2003 Raid Level : raid5 Used Dev Size : 173844352 (165.79 GiB 178.02 GB) Array Size : 521533056 (497.37 GiB 534.05 GB) Raid Devices : 4 Total Devices : 3 Preferred Minor : 0 Update Time : Sat Aug 2 19:26:28 2008 State : active Active Devices : 3 Working Devices : 3 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Checksum : ca62ce2c - correct Events : 0.21 Layout : left-asymmetric Chunk Size : 64K Number Major Minor RaidDevice State this 1 22 4 1 active sync /dev/hdc4 0 0 3 4 0 active sync /dev/hda4 1 1 22 4 1 active sync /dev/hdc4 2 2 0 0 2 faulty removed 3 3 34 4 3 active sync /dev/hdc4: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 00.90.00 UUID : a72e334f:a9ccba81:bba665d8:82a3c378 Creation Time : Mon Jun 30 12:00:28 2003 Raid Level : raid5 Used Dev Size : 173844352 (165.79 GiB 178.02 GB) Array Size : 521533056 (497.37 GiB 534.05 GB) Raid Devices : 4 Total Devices : 4 Preferred Minor : 0 Update Time : Sun Jul 22 22:33:00 2007 State : active Active Devices : 4 Working Devices : 4 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Checksum : c871f493 - correct Events : 0.18 Layout : left-asymmetric Chunk Size : 64K Number Major Minor RaidDevice State this 2 33 4 2 active sync 0 0 3 4 0 active sync /dev/hda4 1 1 22 4 1 active sync /dev/hdc4 2 2 33 4 2 active sync 3 3 34 4 3 active sync /dev/hdd4: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 00.90.00 UUID : a72e334f:a9ccba81:bba665d8:82a3c378 Creation Time : Mon Jun 30 12:00:28 2003 Raid Level : raid5 Used Dev Size : 173844352 (165.79 GiB 178.02 GB) Array Size : 521533056 (497.37 GiB 534.05 GB) Raid Devices : 4 Total Devices : 3 Preferred Minor : 0 Update Time : Sat Aug 2 19:26:28 2008 State : active Active Devices : 3 Working Devices : 3 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Checksum : ca62ce3c - correct Events : 0.21 Layout : left-asymmetric Chunk Size : 64K Number Major Minor RaidDevice State this 3 34 4 3 active sync 0 0 3 4 0 active sync /dev/hda4 1 1 22 4 1 active sync /dev/hdc4 2 2 0 0 2 faulty removed 3 3 34 4 3 active sync This is my fist stab and re-assembling an array after moving the disks so I though I'd double check how I would go about re-assembling this Can I simply do mdadm --assemble --scan ? Or do I need to reset the superblocks and re-assemble in degraded mode somehow? TIA Dan

Squid proxy as a Gateway Server
by Ashish Gangani 21 May '09

21 May '09

Hi all, Good Day for all, I need Help to Setup Squid proxy as a Gateway Server. The Idea is to use the (Server and Gateway) configured with Squid to run using AUTH_Pam or AUTH_ncsa , but additionally we need to filter some access via group, following the standard filter group used Filter Group 1 - blocked users (no access) Filter Group 2 - standard users (standard access rights) Filter Group 3 - guest users (limited access rights) Filter Group 4 - power users (more generous access & file download rights) Filter Group 5 - admin users (unlimited access) So in this cases all users are authenticated by the Server Only when their try to access internet, they received access denied if user is has no access based on group membership. Thanks and Regards, Ashish Gangani,

Missing Thunderbird Updates
by Filipe Brandenburger 21 May '09

21 May '09

Hello, I recently noticed that Thunderbird updates are missing from CentOS 5. First, I noticed that Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 is available in the "updates" repo of CentOS 5.2, but not on the "updates" repo of CentOS 5.3. The version in the "os" repo of CentOS 5.3 is 2.0.0.18. - Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 in CentOS 5.2 updates repo: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.2/updates/i386/RPMS/thunderbird-2.0.0.19-… - Thunderbird 2.0.0.18 in CentOS 5.3 os repo: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.3/os/i386/CentOS/thunderbird-2.0.0.18-1.e… - No Thunderbird in CentOS 5.3 updates repo: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.3/updates/i386/RPMS/ Then I went upstream to confirm which versions were available there. To my surprise, I found out that there is a src rpm for Thunderbird 2.0.0.21 that dates from March 22. - Thunderbird 2.0.0.21 SRPM in RHEL 5Client: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Client/en/os/SRPMS/thunde… CentOS Developers, could you please build the RPMs for the latest version 2.0.0.21, and investigate why the issue with 2.0.0.19 not being present in the "updates" repo 5.3 happened, and why the new package 2.0.0.21 was not rebuilt even though it dates from more than one month ago? Thanks! Filipe

Cron for spamassassin
by Bob Hoffman 20 May '09

20 May '09

Hi all, Question: Do you run the cron.d for updating spamassassin that came with the distro (centos 5.x)? I tried doing it when it was first set up and it just kept failing. Although set to run, neither sa-update logs nor cron logs show any activity at all on this cron. And thus I usually do it by hand, running sa-update -D on the command line every week or so. The cron.d/sa-update file is chmod 0600 and owned by root. The contents are as was installed -------------------------------- 10 4 * * * root /usr/share/spamassassin/sa-update.cron 2>&1 | tee -a /var/log/sa-update.log -------------------------------- When running the cron manually from the command line, it says: -------------------------------- /etc/cron.d/sa-update: line 9: 10: command not found --------------------------------- And the cron log will say ------------------------------- "May 18 18:56:01 mail crond[3919]: (*system*) BAD FILE MODE (/etc/cron.d/sa-update)" ------------------------------- All research online and in bugs only refer to an old syntax error that is no longer in the code. I did find quite a few posts from people all over the web that this was not working for them. Not one was fixed or resoved. I tired making the cron 0755 but that did not change anything. I could find no bug reports on this on either rhel or centos. So, I was just thinking about making a crontab to run sa-update daily and see if that works. I would like to use as intended though. Has anyone experienced this problem, and has anyone figured out what is wrong? Thanks in advance.
