System goes into read only mode - not the same as posted earlier
by Stephen Moccio 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

Hello all, I’m at my wits end trying to resolve this. We are running centos 4.5 on Intel hardware. Dual SCSI disk drives mirrored on an LSI Logic controller. Every once in a while and not always on the same server and not only on the local SCSI Drives. System A – Dual internal drives on /dev/sda System B – Dual internal drives on /dev/sdc with a DAS on /dev/sda. Each of these systems experienced a kernel mptbase error and placed /dev/sda into read only mode. Note again the /dev/sda isn’t always local. For system A – remounting in ro mode didn’t work and the system had to be rebooted. File system check and bad block checks showed nothing and when the system was rebooted – it was fine. A portion of the messages log is below. I would appreciate any ideas or directions. Thanks, Steve Moccio Aug 7 01:00:06 sshd(pam_unix)[18336]: session opened for user root by (uid=0) Aug 7 09:00:36 kernel: mptscsi: ioc1: attempting task abort!

RADVD address timeouts
by Robert Moskowitz 27 Aug '08

27 Aug '08

I am using RADVD to assign IPv6 addresses. It works for 'static' devices. I want it to work for devices that move to different networks without having to restart the network on those devices. So if I have a notebook on network Lab1 getting prefix 2607:7:4:1::64 and moves to network Lab2 where RADVD advertises prefix 2607:7:4:2::/64, I want the host to switch to the new address. This is NOT for MobileIP. Right now I get the new global address, but the old address never goes away. I have tried setting AdvPreferredLifetime, but that has not helped.

OT - Offline uncorrectable sectors
by Lorenzo Quatrini 27 Aug '08

27 Aug '08

I have few disk that have offline uncorrectables sectors; I found on this page how to identify the sectors and force a write on them to trigger the relocation of bad sectors on the disk: http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/BadBlockHowTo.txt My question is: since I'm too lazy to follow all the procedure, do you think that a force rewrite of the full disk would work? Eg. "dd if=/dev/sda pf=/dev/sda bs=512" Shoudl this be done at runlevel 1 or offline or I can do it without too many worries, since I'm reading and rewriting the same data on the disk? TIA and sorry for the OT Lorenzo Quatrini

restarting static-routes-ipv6
by Robert Moskowitz 27 Aug '08

27 Aug '08

I want to change the contents of my /etc/sysconfig/static-routes-ipv6 and NOT restart the network. Is there a way to do this??? I know about ifup and ifdown for interfaces, but what about routing (and IP6 at that).

Logwatch doesn´t report on dovecot
by henry ritzlmayr 27 Aug '08

27 Aug '08

Hi List, Centos 5(.2) ships with dovecot-1.0.7-2.el5 and logwatch-7.3-6.el5 However the shipped logwatch is not aware of dovecot 1.x meaning none of the log entries (var/log/maillog) are processed at all. Should I file a bug report on this? Upstream? cheers Henry
