Remove all 3rd party rpms
by Joseph L. Casale 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

How does one do this? Also, is it possible an rpm installed by rpm and not yum does not indicate what it provides to yum when yum queries needed dependencies for another package? Thanks! jlc

my centos switched alone its root fs to read-only
by Alain Spineux 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

My test server was in very eavy load, running kolab's components: postfix, cyrus-imap and openldap A second test machine was sending, and reading emails as fast as it can. The CPU was never idle ! I left the server at about 17H30 and at 22H I find it "uncommitted" (difficult to work when the partition in read-only !) However the mount command report it as RW ! The /boot is still RW for real indeed. some more info [root@c700 trunk]# touch /foo.bar touch: cannot touch `/foo.bar': Read-only file system [root@c700 trunk]# mount /dev/md1 on / type ext3 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/md0 on /boot type ext3 (rw) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw) sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw) max:/s0 on /s0 type nfs (rw,addr=192.168.*.*) [root@c700 trunk]# cat /var/log/messages Mar 30 04:02:13 c700 syslogd 1.4.1: restart.

HI folks, Apologies if this is OT. If it is, please msg me offllist and I'll carry on my searching elsewhere. Where does mysql actually store databases and tables in the filesystem? Thanks in advance -Ray

How to find available groups for installation via yum ?
by Primorec 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

Hi All, Short description of the problem: - I would like to install the complete 'xfce' desktop on CentOS5.x I've tried: yum groupinstall xfce yum groupinstall xfce4 yum groupinstall xfce* yum groupinstall xfce4* yum groupinstall xfce4.2 yum groupinstall xfce4.1 yum groupinstall xfce4.3 yum groupinstall xfce4.4 yum groupinstall xfce4.4.2 .... etc etc ... nothing worked then I've started googling the net and .... ____finally____ I found the magic combination. One very merciful soul posted the golden combination. yum groupinstall "XFCE-4.4" This did the trick. God bless him/her and all his relatives. He/She deserved it. question: Is there a way to check which packages are available for the installation as a 'group' using yum ? TIA Igor -- Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted. Randy Pausch

5.1 did not detect marvell e-net controller
by Clyde E. Kunkel 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

on an ASUS P5K-E wifi (wifi disabled in bios) board with: 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 12) centos 5.1 did not configure the device. Anyone else see this or have a solution? Tried forcing sky2 module, but init just says device does not seem to be present even tho lspci shows it on the bus. Is there another kernel module that also needs to be loaded besides sky2.ko? (got sky2 information from a fedora 8 install on same machine).

RAID1 migration - /dev/md1 is not there
by Sam Beam 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

I am trying to convert an existing IDE one-disk system to RAID1 using the general strategy found here: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2005-March/003813.html But I am stuck on one thing - when I went to create the second md device with mdadm, # mdadm --create /dev/md1 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/hdb2 missing mdadm: error opening /dev/md1: No such file or directory And indeed, ls /dev/md* shows only md0, which worked fine. I do have the 'raid1' kernel module loaded. What am I missing? Do I need to create the nodes manually now? thanks -S

Downgrade an rpm
by Joseph L. Casale 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

I have an app I suspect is not working right as certain rpm's are a higher version then it recommends. If I have used a 3rd party to install the app which dragged in many dependencies with it, what is the procedure to downgrade only the specific rpms I need? Thanks! jlc
