connecting 2 servers using an FC card via iSCSI
by Erick Perez 19 Mar '09

19 Mar '09

Hi there, I have one server acting as a iscsi target running windows storage server r2 sp2 and the other server is running centos as an initiator. They are connected to a switch over a 1Gbit ethernet connection. the target is a Dell NF600 and the server running centos is a Poweredge R900. We want to move this configuration to a FC based installation using a Dell QLE2462 HBA (this is the hba we can get here). So, i would like to ask before i make a mistake..... :) If I purchase an ethernet fiber switch and add a Dell QLE2462 HBA to both servers and connect the servers to this ethernet switch, will I be able to use this configuration as iscsi target/initiator? will i be able to add a new server (initiator) to this configuration? or the whole thing is totally impossible? -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Erick Perez Cel +(507) 6675-5083 ------------------------------------------------------------

$ gpg --list-key 7049E44D025E513B pub 1024D/025E513B 2004-03-15 [expired: 2009-03-14] uid CentOS-3 Key <centos-3key(a)caosity.org> The key you signed with has expired. I tried refreshing it, but it had not changed. Is there any particular keyserver I should update it from? cheers -- Spiro Harvey Knossos Networks Ltd 021-295-1923 www.knossos.net.nz

wifi and the default keyring
by Michael Klinosky 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

Hello. I'm using my laptop (an Acer Aspire 3680, with built-in Atheros wifi). I installed 5.2 on it, and it's working nicely. But, I have an issue with the keyring. I should mention that this is my *first* experience with keyrings. When I set up the wifi, it stated basically that "nm-applet wants to access the default keyring, but it's locked. Enter password." So I did. (I made one up.) So, every time I boot, it asks for the password. Then, I found out about the trick of making it the same as the user's login password. Yes, that works, _but only if 'auto-login' is disabled_. It amounts to having to enter the login pw on every boot, or the default keyring pw. So, my question: * Can I totally disable (remove?) the keyring stuff, and set up nm-applet another way to get the wifi passphrase? - or - * Can I _permanently_ unlock the default keyring? - or - * Another trick? Whatever circumvents having to enter the keyring password with 'auto-login' enabled.

syslog: CPU stuck for 10s!
by tblader 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

Hi All, I have a Centos 5 box serving NFS3 shares from an LSI megaraid card. The box has been up and down for about a week and trying to figure out what's up. Found a syslog message today about "APIC error on CPU" and after rebooting with NOAPIC, I now get this: # cat /var/log/kernel | grep BUG Mar 17 09:51:05 ofdmz kernel: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 10s! [migration/0:2] Mar 17 09:52:21 ofdmz kernel: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 10s! [ssh:3491] Anyone know what this means? I found a thread* from 2006 on this list that mentions updating the bios, but thought I would get a message out early in case this doesn't fix it. Thanks [*] - http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2006-June/023933.html

Changing Color Mappings
by Brian Becker 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

I have been tasked with finding a way to change the color mappings on a CentOS 5.2 system. Basically I want to make an image that is black and white appear in different shades of gray by adjusting the color mappings. I need to know the starting point for the color maps however so I can make the appropriate adjustments. I have been told this should be some kind of look up table array of 256x3 elements. I have searched through the frame buffer in the kernel and the driver area for the intel frame buffer but haven't found anything that looks appropriate. Does this table exist or is the problem being tackled completely wrong. Any help, ideas, or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Brian

How to get usb storage under /media in runlevel 3?
by Kimmo Koivisto 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

Hello I have previously used Centos 4.x in runlevel 3, when I plug in my usb storage device/cd in cd-rom, it is shown under /media, for example /media/MyUsbStick. Now in Centos 5.2, when I insert usb storage device, nothing is shown under /media (runlevel 3). When I have runlevel 5 and X running, usb stick / cdrom is automounted fine. I can mount the stick using /dev/xxx device, but would prefer if: a) cdrom and usb-stick would appear under /media automatically and I could manually mount it b) cdrom and usb-stick would be automounted when inserted (like in runlevel 5). Any ideas, how to accomplish (a) or (b)? Regards, Kimmo Koivisto

Correct way to provide kernel patch
by Chris Miller 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

I work with a USB device that is intercepted by the USB HID driver. In order to stop this behavior, the device needs to be added to the HID blacklist (hid-core.c) and a custom kernel needs to be compiled. If I create a CentOS specific patch, it appears I need to create the patch against an already patched source tree (i.e. after running rpmbuild -bp) because other patches exist that add items to the blacklist that would break my diff patch. Seems like this would be a never ending battle as new patches get added to new kernels. What's the correct way to get this device added to the kernel? Do I submit my patch to the CentOS dev team, to the kernel.org folks, or both? What's the timeline (if accepted) to actually seeing this in a production kernel? On the CentOS kernel build how-to, the kABI fixes won't make it into CentOS until 5.4, and 5.3 hasn't been released yet. Thanks in advance... Regards, Chris

Streaming video with Centos 5.2...how to?
by Gilbert Sebenste 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

Hello all, I am a noob to streaming video, and I have a file I'd like to stream (a .wmv file...sorry. ;-) ). In any case, how can I do this on my website using Centos 5.2 and Apache 2.2.8, rather than making people download a 20 MB video? Can someone point me to some URL's and some software? Thanks for any help, I greatly appreciate it!
