It holds the box through power variations, and can supply power for a couple of minutes - enough to allow a shutdown, since that box is never running unattended. I got it when we upgraded the company one - it was our (the company's) first, attached to the file-server, so replaced at a reasonable age. Anne

card reader issue
by Frank Cox 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

I have never done anything with a card reader before so I have no idea what I'm doing here. I have a laptop with a card reader in it and when I put the card in I see this in /var/log/messages: Feb 5 13:28:58 localhost pcscd: winscard.c:304:SCardConnect() Reader E-Gate 0 0 Not Found This comes up many times in the log. I suspect that this means that I'm missing some package that I should have installed, but what is it? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com DRY CLEANER BUSINESS FOR SALE ~ http://www.canadadrycleanerforsale.com

udev by-id symlinks randomly missing for tape drives on centos5
by Pasi Kärkkäinen 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Hello! I'm having problems with udev /dev/tape/by-id/ symlinks.. it seems symlinks to tape drives are sometimes (randomly) missing after reboot. Server in question has IBM TS3200 tape library connected with 2 drives in it.. so /proc/scsi/scsi shows 3 devices: 2 tape drives, and 1 medium changer (tape library). So I should have 3 symlinks in /dev/tape/by-id/ directory.. 2 symlinks to tape drives, and 1 symlink to mediumchanger/tapelibrary. Running 'udevtrigger' _sometimes_ creates the missing links, and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes if all the symlinks are there to begin with, and you run 'udevtrigger', some of the tape drive symlinks might get removed too.. The symlink for the mediumchanger seems to be there always though.. Has anyone seen this behaviour? How to fix it? Whenever I run 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi' I can see all of the devices listed there. IBM 'itdt' tape drive / tapelibrary diagnostic tool works OK too, and always shows all the devices. I don't have any errors in the dmesg/syslog, and the devices work OK if I use /dev/nst* (tape drives) or /dev/sg* (mediumchanger/tapelibrary) devicenames to access them. I'd like to be able to use /dev/tape/by-id/<foo> symlinks to make sure correct devices are accesssed. The server in question is running CentOS 5.2 x86_64 (with latest updates installed). Any thoughts? -- Pasi

Missing latest kmod-xfs and kmod-drbd82?
by Alan Sparks 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Since December there have been several kernel updates to the centosplus repository for centos4... but no updates to kmod-xfs or kmod-drbd82. Latest kernel is 2.6.9-78.0.13.plus.c4, but latest kmod-xfs is 2.6.9_78.0.5.plus.c4. Latest drbd82 kmod is also for 78.0.5. I know there was a mention on the list that these modules are not kernel dependent anymore... but yum and rpm seem to indicate otherwise, and trying to install kmod-xfs-smp or update kmod-drbd82-smp on my servers is not possible. $ rpm -qRp kmod-xfs-smp-0.4-1.el4.2.6.9_78.0.5.plus.c4.x86_64.rpm /bin/sh /bin/sh /sbin/depmod /sbin/depmod kernel-smp-x86_64 = 2.6.9-78.0.5.plus.c4 rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 Above, the last available version of the module shows a dependency on the 78.0.5 kernel. These modules will of course also install in the wrong /lib/modules/ location. I've over the last two months opened tickets on bugs.centos.org on the issue (tickets 3360, 3316, 3291). However, these tickets are still new and have had no comments. Anyone have any advice on dealing with the missing RPMs or the dependency issue? Thanks in advance. -Alan
