Natulius CD burner does not accept my 700Mb CD-R disks
by Robert Moskowitz 26 Dec '07

26 Dec '07

When I try to burn anything to cd, I get a message to insert a CD large enough for my file (normally an ISO image). Doesn't matter if the iso image is a 600Mb Centos ISO or a 48Mb DSL ISO. Same warning. My CD-Rs are Memorex 700MB/80min 52x disks that work just fine on XP systems. So what am I missing configuration-wise?

Once mounted, I get a CD icon on the desktop and this lets me open nautilus to the CD. And nothing like this happened with the external CDRW drive. Opening a terminal window and issuing mount, I see the /dev/hdc is on /media/060622_2133 type iso9660 Now lets test all this on the external again... so I insert the CD and again the light is flashing red. mkdir /media/cdrw mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrw and get the response: mount: No medium found I am going to dig out my portable CDRW from my notebook backpack (for my real work notebook that I am typing from now, not my 'corp' notebook!).

Regd: Ethernet Channel Bonding issue in Cluster
by Balaji 26 Dec '07

26 Dec '07

Dear All, I have configured Cluster Suite with 2 servers Server 1 : 192.168.13.110 IP Address and hostname is primary Server 2 : 192.168.13.179 IP Address and hostname is secondary Floating : 192.168.13.83 IP Address (Assumed by currently active server) I have configured Ethernet Channel Bonding in Each Cluster Nodes and Channel Bonding Configuration Details are 1) Created bonding devices in "/etc/modprobe.conf" file alias bond0 bonding options bonding miimon=100 mode=1 2) Edit the "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1" configuration DEVICE=eth0 USERCTL= no ONBOOT=yes MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes BOOTPROTO=none DEVICE=eth1 USERCTL= no ONBOOT=yes MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes BOOTPROTO=none 3) Created a network script for the bonding device is "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0" DEVICE=bond0 USERCTL=no ONBOOT=yes NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=192.168.13.1 IPADDR=192.168.13.110 4) Reboot the system for the changes to take effect. After i am rebooted both the server then cluster node becomes simplex and Services are started on both the nodes The cluster ouput in primary node Member Status: Quorate Member Name Status ----------- ------- --------- primary Online, Local, rgmanager secondary Offline Service Name Owner (Last) State --------- -------- ----------------- -------- Service primary started The cluster ouput in secondary node Member Status: Quorate Member Name Status ----------- ------- --------- primary Offline secondary Online, Local, rgmanager Service Name Owner (Last) State --------- -------- ----------------- -------- Service secondary started Before Ethernet Channel Bonding cluster services are active in one node and other nodes acts as passive node. But after Ethernet Channel Bonding cluster services are active on both the nodes I need to solve the following issue and services are run only active node. Can some one throw light on this peculiar problem Regards -S.Balaji

problems building appletalk module with new kernel

I've been doing this on CentOS 4 and CentOS 5 but after installing 2.6.18-53.1.4el kernel, I'm having a bit of a struggle... # make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.4.el5/build \ SUBDIRS=/usr/src/appletalk modules make: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-53.1.4.el5-i686' CC [M] /usr/src/appletalk/aarp.o CC [M] /usr/src/appletalk/ddp.o CC [M] /usr/src/appletalk/dev.o CC [M] /usr/src/appletalk/atalk_proc.o CC [M] /usr/src/appletalk/sysctl_net_atalk.o LD [M] /usr/src/appletalk/appletalk.o Building modules, stage 2.

hi, Just want to wish everyone a happy holiday season and a good new year ahead. Its been a great year for CentOS and for everyone involved with it including the developers, supporters, contributors, editors, bug reporters, everyone. You all know who you are. And I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for the time and efforts that you have put into the project. 2008 will be bigger, better, noisier and even more fun! Enjoy. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

Prelink: Something's happening here
by Benjamin Smith 24 Dec '07

24 Dec '07

Can anybody explain to me what's going on here? This is a CentOS 4 i386 system. [root@edison ~]# rm -f /etc/prelink.cache [root@edison ~]# /etc/cron.daily/prelink [root@edison ~]# rpm -qf /usr/bin/sqlite3 sqlite-3.3.6-2 [root@edison ~]# rpm --verify sqlite prelink: /usr/bin/sqlite3: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking S.?..... /usr/bin/sqlite3 [root@edison ~]# rpm -q --dump sqlite | grep "bin/sqlite3" /usr/bin/sqlite3 29044 1178360479 70e7158185e01e23dd2a62fa00f0f752 0100755 root root 0 0 0 X [root@edison ~]# md5sum /usr/bin/sqlite3 6e4b1dc7b0b5ade26448ed700c33e05f /usr/bin/sqlite3 [root@edison ~]# prelink -u /usr/bin/sqlite3 [root@edison ~]# md5sum /usr/bin/sqlite3 70e7158185e01e23dd2a62fa00f0f752 /usr/bin/sqlite3 [root@edison ~]# rpm --verify sqlite [root@edison ~]# prelink -f /usr/bin/sqlite3 prelink: /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5.4: .debug_loc adjusting unfinished [root@edison etc]# md5sum /usr/bin/sqlite3 70e7158185e01e23dd2a62fa00f0f752 /usr/bin/sqlite3 [root@edison etc]# How did the RPM database have the right values for the sqlite3 file before prelink was run? Or, another way, why was the file different in the first place, that running prelink against it fixed it? And if "undoing" the prelink changed something, why wasn't it "changed back" when I ran prelink against the sqlite3 file the second time? Finding this confusing as H__L. I have *alot* of files on this system with this issue - I discovered this while debugging a problem with MailScanner. And, why do I see similar behavior on another system that's freshly built? EG: just ran the installer and "yum update" and see the same issue with a smaller number of files? -Ben -- Only those who reach toward a goal are likely to achieve it. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

"yum --security" and staying with 5.0
by Amos Shapira 24 Dec '07

24 Dec '07

Hello, So I've watched a few threads about the new 5.0 vs. 5.1 upgrade and have a couple of (hopefully) practical questions about this: Context - I'd like to stick to 5.0 at least for a while until the dust around 5.1 settles down (and I'm back from holidays). As an example - In Debian, as long as I stick to "stable" I can be sure that the only updates I receive there are for heavily tested very important bugs and security issues, so I should generally apply them. 1. If I read the FAQ correctly, in order to force yum to stay with 5.0 should I just manually edit /etc/redhat-release from: CentOS release 5 (Final) to: CentOS release 5.0 (Final) (i.e. add ".0" to the version)? If not then what should I do? 2. I am hoping that yum-security will allow me to stick to the latest security updates for 5.0 without forcing me to upgrade to 5.1 until the dust settles down. Am I correct that this is possible with yum-security and the repositories provided by CentOS? Will "yum update --security" update packages with later versions only if those versions fix security issues? Are security updates maintained for 5.0? Here is what I get right now on one of my systems (without doing the change I asked about in (1)): # yum --security list updates Loading "security" plugin Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up repositories base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 updates 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 addons 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files Limiting package lists to security relevant ones No packages needed, for security, 196 available If I drop the "--security" flag I indeed get a list of196 packages to upgrade. So to clarify my question - is my system secure (in terms of package versions) by sticking to "yum update --security"? Thanks, --Amos
