RPM verify weirdness
by Gavin Carr 19 Mar '08

19 Mar '08

Hi all, Can anyone explain this to me? (CentOS 4/5) # rpm -qf /etc/exports setup # rpm -V setup S.5....T c /etc/bashrc S.5....T c /etc/printcap ..?..... c /etc/securetty # echo '#### foo' > /etc/exports # cat /etc/exports #### foo # rpm -V setup S.5....T c /etc/bashrc S.5....T c /etc/printcap ..?..... c /etc/securetty I thought verify was supposed to check every file in the package?

rpm build machines
by Johnny Tan 18 Mar '08

18 Mar '08

How similar should my rpm build machine be to my target deploy machines? Like, do you have to build on a multi-core machine if you plan to run on a multi-core machine? Or as long as the arch is the same, nothing else matters? johnn

DRBD question.
by Steve Campbell 18 Mar '08

18 Mar '08

I'm going to have to be a little vague on this one, but hope I provide enough to make the question clear. I'm not doing the work on this server, a co-worker is, but I said I would ask for him. He is trying to get DRBD installed. He's using Centos 5.1 and the yum repos, but is getting problems with things like the kernel, drbd.so, and the likes. All install fine, but I'm not sure he is getting the proper kernel with the drbd stuff. Almost sounds like he needs a dev rpm from somewhere because drbd.so isn't on the machine after installing the RPMs. (Can't do the insmod drbd.so). Does anyone have a quick and easy(?) step by step to get it installed? He'll figure out the config if he can get it installed properly. Right now, he's running from source OK, but you all know the arguements for source versus rpm. Thanks for any help. I'll try and get caught up on what he's doing to better answer any questions presented. Steve Campbell

php-pear-SOAP
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 18 Mar '08

18 Mar '08

Hi All, Anyone know of a CentOS 5 package for php-pear-SOAP? I'm installing Centreon, and that's the only pear package I have not been able to find packaged as a RPM for CentOS 5. I did find this, though: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/i386/repoview/p… I should be able to just install the Fedora 6 package, but I'd rather use one built on CentOS 5.

SOLVED: [CentOS] CDRW-DVD Mount Problem, Centos 5.1, Intel board...
by Pam Astor 18 Mar '08

18 Mar '08

Problem has been solved: "sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom -o" mounted the drive after adding "mount /mnt/cdrom" to /etc/festab. ----- Original Message ---- From: Pam Astor <pamastor(a)yahoo.com> To: centos(a)centos.org Sent: Monday, March 17, 2008 1:45:16 PM Subject: [CentOS] CDRW-DVD Mount Problem, Centos 5.1, Intel board...  I'm having a problem mounting my new CDRW DVD in my new machine I just built. The motherboard is an Intel DP35DP, and I connected the CDRW DVD via ribbon cable into the motherboard IDE slot. Centos 5.1 is installed and functioning fine so far (other than this problem). I can't mount the CDRW-DVD unit. I was able to run cdrecord with the command: cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=6,0,0 -data /home/mydir/Desktop/backup_bootimage.iso to copy a file that I downloaded, apparently the data copy went fine, but when I ejected the CD and then tried to re mount the same CD to read the file, it would not mount. So then I tried mounting the Centos 5.1 distro disk that I used to install the OS, and am having the same problem with the distro disk. If anyone could give me some suggestions or insights I'd appreciate it. I have provided some data below. I tried the below commands after ejecting the CD and then executing the commands while the drawer is open, and I got the below outputs: # sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom mount: special device /dev/sr0 does not exist And: # mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: you must specify the filesystem type And: # mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: you must specify the filesystem type And: #sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so And: sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom -o ro,unhide mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so And: sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom -o ro,unhide mount: special device /dev/sr0 does not exist Here is info from cat /etc/fstab, cat /proc/mounts, fdisk -l, and cdrecord -scanbus and dmesg | grep -i -e CD -e CD-ROM respectively: >From cat/etc/fstab: /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 11 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfsdefaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs/sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 00 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 >From cat /proc/mounts: [root@localhost/]# cat /proc/mounts rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 /dev/root / ext3rw,data=ordered 0 0 /dev /dev tmpfs rw 0 0 /proc /proc proc rw0 0 /sys /sys sysfs rw 0 0 none /selinux selinuxfs rw 00 /proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0 devpts /dev/ptsdevpts rw 0 0 /dev/sda1 /boot ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0 tmpfs/dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0 none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw0 0 sunrpc /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs rw 00 /etc/auto.misc /misc autofsrw,fd=6,pgrp=2758,timeout=300,minproto=5,maxproto=5,indirect 00 -hosts /net autofsrw,fd=11,pgrp=2758,timeout=300,minproto=5,maxproto=5,indirect 00 fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units =cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start EndBlocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/sda2 1460801 488279610 8e Linux LVM Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB,500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes DeviceBoot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 60801 488384001 8eLinux LVM >From cdrecord -scanbus: scsibus6: 6,0,0 600) 'TSSTcorp''CDDVDW SH-S202J ' 'SB00' Removable CD-ROM 6,1,0 601) * 6,2,0602) * 6,3,0 603) * 6,4,0 604) * 6,5,0 605) * 6,6,0 606)* 6,7,0 607) * >From dmesg | grep -i -e CD -e CD-ROM: [root@localhost etc]# dmesg | grep -i -e CD -e CD-ROM uhci_hcd 0000:00:1a.0: UHCI Host Controller uhci_hcd 0000:00:1a.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1a.0: irq 193, io base 0x000030e0 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1a.1: UHCI Host Controller uhci_hcd 0000:00:1a.1: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1a.1: irq 74, io base 0x000030c0 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1a.2: UHCI Host Controller uhci_hcd 0000:00:1a.2: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1a.2: irq 177, io base 0x000030a0 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: UHCI Host Controller uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 4 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: irq 82, io base 0x00003080 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.1: UHCI Host Controller uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.1: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 5 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.1: irq 201, io base 0x00003060 usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.2: UHCI Host Controller uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.2: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 6 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.2: irq 193, io base 0x00003040 ohci_hcd: 2005 April 22 USB 1.1 'Open' Host Controller (OHCI) Driver (PCI) ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.7: EHCI Host Controller ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.7: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 7 ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.7: debug port 1 ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.7: irq 177, io mem 0xe3225c00 ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.7: USB 2.0 started, EHCI 1.00, driver 10 Dec 2004 ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: EHCI Host Controller ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 8 ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: debug port 1 ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: irq 82, io mem 0xe3225800 ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: USB 2.0 started, EHCI 1.00, driver 10 Dec 2004 usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 usb 3-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 Vendor: TSSTcorp Model: CDDVDW SH-S202J Rev: SB00 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 05 sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 48x/48x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 sr 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!

Which sasl?
by Anne Wilson 18 Mar '08

18 Mar '08

I'm trying to set up imap resources in kmail, and from the logs it looks as though I have to set up sasldb. I've found some documentation, but it seems that I need to know whether I'm using sasl or sasl2. How can I tell? I seem to have several packages installed that are returned with I query yum, and both versions get mentions. Anne
