kernel compile for i586
by Jerry Geis 05 Jun '08

05 Jun '08

I created a i586 install image with qemu. I downloaded the SRPMS package for the kernel and installed it. I cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS rpmbuild -bp --target i586 kernelXXX.spec I does a bunch of things but it did not build a new kernel and put it in /boot I think I am missing a command to actually BUILD the kernel. What is it? Thanks, Jerry

tcp_tw_recycle / tcp_tw_reuse
by nate 05 Jun '08

05 Jun '08

Anyone have experience with these kernel parameters? I can't find a whole lot of info on them. I have a situation where I'm trying to stress test a server, dual proc quad core with a tomcat application that is really fast. We can get it to about 60% CPU usage, and processing about 1,350 requests a second but we can't get much past that. It seems we are maxing out the sockets on the system, with more than 60,000 connections in TIME_WAIT. Our requests are really small and light and short lived. So I was thinking of using these parameters to get more out of the tcp stack. Our load balancer is configured to terminate connections to the world after 25 seconds(a typical request takes 0.1 seconds to complete), but I'm not sure if that applies to the systems behind the load balancer as well(I suspect not because there's no apparent setting for that). Currently I have the system configured to take a lower amount of traffic, hovering at around 47% CPU, at around 833 req/s and it has 43k connections in these states: #### state ------------------ 65 CLOSING 94 ESTABLISHED 172 FIN_WAIT1 50 FIN_WAIT2 10 LAST_ACK 497 SYN_RECV 43480 TIME_WAIT On a side note, the 'active tcp sockets' reported by sar seems wildly inaccurate, it reports only ~10 active tcp sockets, it barely varies from the system being idle to the system being maxxed out. The docs I can find says seek expert assistance..any experts reading this ? Running CentOS 4.6 thanks nate

rpm -q versus what's installed
by Scott R. Ehrlich 05 Jun '08

05 Jun '08

I am trying to install Oracle client 10g (10.2.0) on a 64-bit CentOS 5.0 system. 'rpm -q make gcc glibc etc' reveals some packages as "not installed", yet a yum install <package name> consistently returns Nothing to do. Yum list available <package name> yields nothing needed. If rpm -q <list of packages> lists some that are "not installed" but every variant of yum install and yum list I've tried and googled claiims nothing more needs to be installed, either the OS is misreporting (I doubt that) or I'm missing something that is not easily being revealed, or that I haven't used in a long time and outright forgetting. I still need (per rpm -q): compat-gcc compat-gcc-c++ compat-libstsdc++-devel openmotif21 gnome-libs There has been a suggestion of the version of Oracle (32 or 64 bit) I'm trying to install, but after thinking about it, I believe this question is a more fundamental operating system issue. Thanks for any insight. Scott

tzdata, Greenwich zone: URGENT!
by Guy Boisvert 05 Jun '08

05 Jun '08

Hi! It appears that there have been some changes to tzdata recently. We run an application that needs the server to stay at GMT. Previously, we used the Casablanca timezone but now there seems to be a 1 hour difference to GMT. I checked the London zone and they seem to change time too. I tried to change the zone to GMT with system-config-date (i'm using command line remotely) but didn't find the Greenwich zone! Is there any way to fixed this ? [boig01@iode ~]$ date Tue Jun 3 14:10:21 WEST 2008 [boig01@iode ~]$ date -u Tue Jun 3 13:10:24 UTC 2008 Thanks in advance. Guy Boisvert, ing. IngTegration inc. P.S.: As i'm writing this, our application just started to desync !!! HOW CAN I ROLL BACK TZDATA ???? I Googled all over without finding any way to do it!

Mounting cifs shares by non-root users on CentOS 4.6
by James Pearson 05 Jun '08

05 Jun '08

I'm trying to set up mounting of a Windows share for non-root users via /etc/fstab on a CentOS 4.6 box - I've followed the instructions at: <http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/WindowsShares> Using something like the /etc/fstab example given in the wiki page (with, of course, using a valid share, username and password for my set up): //winbox/getme /mnt/win cifs user,uid=500,rw,suid,username=sushi,password=yummy 0 0 When as a non-root user I do: % mount /mnt/win mount error 1 = Operation not permitted Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) Running mount as root works fine, but I can not get it to work for non-root users. Any ideas? Thanks James Pearson

I am building a latest CentOS5 and every newest stuff is ready. All are in directory "/linux/CentOS/5-respin/os/x86_64". My OS is CentOS5 too. I want to add some other pictures during installation process, so anaconda adjustment is needed. When I run command "anaconda --test --method=http://192.168.0.3/linux/CentOS/5-respin/os/x86_64", a error message followed: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/anaconda", line 702, in ? for i in os.listdir("/mnt/runtime/usr/sbin"): OSError: [Errno 2] There is no such file or directory: '/mnt/runtime/usr/sbin' I mkdir -p /mnt/runtime/usr/sbin,than it works.Followed the steps and configured to kickstart page, clicked "Next" button.There is a message said: 09:59:09 CRITICAL: Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/urlinstall.py", line 95, in systemMounted self.loopbackFile = "%s%s%s" % (chroot, File "/usr/lib/anaconda/yuminstall.py", line 1330, in doPreInstall if self.method.systemMounted (anaconda.id.fsset, anaconda.rootPath): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/backend.py", line 180, in doPreInstall anaconda.backend.doPreInstall(anaconda) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 201, in moveStep rc = stepFunc(self.anaconda) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 124, in gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1018, in nextClicked self.anaconda.dispatch.gotoNext() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 243, in renderCallback self.intf.icw.nextClicked() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1045, in handleRenderCallback self.currentWindow.renderCallback() IndexError: list index out of range Which option should I added?
