Good news for virtual EL-4.x boxes
by Stephen John Smoogen 21 Apr '08

21 Apr '08

Currently, if you are running CentOS-4.x on a Vmware box you end up with time skew problems. The main fix has been using a set of recompiled kernel that has a HZ that is more fitting with what Vmware expects (eg 100 hz). The 4.7 kernels look like they will not need this: http://jons-thoughts.blogspot.com/2008/04/rhel-and-vmware-time-skew-problem… Well, I've gotten quite the number of questions over the last few days about time skew problems in RHEL4 and VMWare, so figured that I would write this. In RHEL4.7, there will be a kernel feature that allows you to pass 'divider=' on the command line in grub. The number must be a divisor of 1000, and the most common value is 10 (yielding an effective timer interrupt rate of 100Hz). I'm expecting the 4.7 beta to become available Real Soon Now(TM), though I have no information as to when that will occur. In the meantime, this change is available as a hotfix from Red Hat's Global Support Services. What this does is take the kernel tick rate (which defaults to 1000Hz) and divides it by the value of divider, to come up with an effective interrupt rate. You can verify that this is working by: Before making the change, use 'watch --interval=1 cat /proc/interrupts' and you'll notice that the timer interrupt is incrementing by 1000 every second. After you make the change, you you notice with the same command that it is incrementing via 1000/ every second. The vlaue of HZ that is exposed to modules is still 1000, thus not breaking module ABI. This same change is already present in RHEL5.1 today. In recent Fedora's, this is unnecessary due to the advent of the tickless kernel (which is useful for other reasons, including reduced power consumption on laptops). It is likely that RHEL6 will also be based on a tickless kernel. -- Stephen J Smoogen. -- CSIRT/Linux System Administrator How far that little candle throws his beams!

vmware free on Centos5.1 clock sync
by David Hláčik 21 Apr '08

21 Apr '08

Hi, i am running virtual machines on vmware free , both with Windows Server Enterprise 2003. Problem is with clock, they are allways goinng forward faster then should. dmesg informs about : dev/vmmon[21623]: host clock rate change request 83 -> 1043 /dev/vmmon[21623]: host clock rate change request 1043 -> 83 /dev/vmmon[21623]: host clock rate change request 83 -> 1043 /dev/vmmon[21623]: host clock rate change request 1043 -> 83 /dev/vmmon[21623]: host clock rate change request 83 -> 1043 /dev/vmmon[21623]: host clock rate change request 1043 -> 83 all the time. I found on centos wiki information ,about vmware kernel running inside linux virtual machines to change frequency to 100hz. Is there any workaround for this issue? Thanks! David

iSCSI + CentOS 5.1 +_netdev problem
by Santi Saez 21 Apr '08

21 Apr '08

Dear Srs, I'm trying to automount an iSCSI device at system startup, this is the configuration: - CentOS 5.1, with kernel 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5PAE, i686 arch - iscsi-initiator-utils 6.2.0.865-0.8.el5 - iSCSI target is a Infortrend A16E-G2130-4 I have solved the "initial_login_retry_max" problem [1] and Open- iSCSI logs into Infortrend target without problems, with 10 retries in the parameter, but the partition is not automounted. Start scripts order appears OK: # ls -1 /etc/rc3.d/S* /etc/rc3.d/S07iscsid /etc/rc3.d/S10network /etc/rc3.d/S12syslog /etc/rc3.d/S13iscsi /etc/rc3.d/S25netfs /etc/rc3.d/S55sshd /etc/rc3.d/S90crond /etc/rc3.d/S99local But "_netdev" marked iSCSI device is not mounted, this is the fstab file: LABEL=/vz /vz ext3 _netdev,rw,noatime,nodiratime,commit=60,data=writeback 0 0 I have tried using LABELs, UUIDs, device names in fstab file.. and the problem is the same. If I put a "mount /vz" into "/etc/rc3.d/S99local" partition is mounted without problem.. I think the problem is in the "netfs" start script, I see no option to mount "_netdev" marked entries.. only a call to the command: (..) fsck -A -T -R -a -t opts=_netdev (..) I have solved the problem adding a "sleep 1" before the fsck execution: (..) echo $STRING sleep 1 fsck -A -T -R -a -t opts=_netdev rc=$? (..) Anyone with the same problem? What can be wrong? I have no problem with the same scenario on CentOS 4.6.. thanks!! Regards, -- Santi Saez
