VMware not correctly configured for running kernel
by Rogelio 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

Something happened over the weekend power-related on my VMware test server, and when I came back and restarted my VMware server box (running CentOS), I got the following message: "VMware Server is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured for the running kernel. To (re-)configure it, invoke the following command: /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl." I ran that .pl script, answered all the questions (just entering in the default values), and all seems to work ok now. Is this someting VMware related? CentOS 4 related? Or possibly some misconfiguration on my part? This box has been working fine for months (and has been rebooted many times), so I'm not sure what "changed" (certainly nothing on the host OS level). Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

kmod-drbd
by Ross Cavanagh 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

hi, I was following this wiki http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Ha-Drbd for my CentOS 5 installation, but it appears that the kmod-drdb is not for the newest kernel. Would anyone know how long before this is updated? kmod-drbd i686 8.0.6-1.2.6.18_8.1.14.el5 extras kernel i686 2.6.18-8.el5 installed

yum update question and kernel-smp-devel
by James Pearson 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

I have a local yum repository for CentOS4, and from time to time I add new (custom) kernel RPMS. However, when I run 'yum update' on an SMP box, yum 'installs' the new kernel, kernel-devel and kernel-smp packages, but 'updates' the kernel-smp-devel package. i.e. I end up with multiple versions of the kernel, kernel-devel and kernel-smp packages, but only the latest kernel-smp-devel What do I need to do to get the kernel-smp-devel RPMS to 'install' instead of 'update'? Thanks James Pearson

Quota inside chroot environment
by David E. Meier 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

Hi List, I have users chroot'ed on a CentOS 5 server. They should be able to check their current disk usage with the quota command. Basically, it works - however, there are some drawbacks I hope someone can help me on: In order for the user to access the aquota.user file I hard-linked it into the users root. Unfortunately the users do not 'see' any changes in disk usage until quotaoff/on is executed. I have a FreeBSD 5.3 server with the same setup where this step is not required. I also noticed while quota is enabled I cannot even create the hard link on the aquota.user file into a users root. Can someone explain what's wrong about my setup or does anyone have another approach to get quotas working for chroot'ed users? David

group descriptors corrupted on ext3 filesystem
by Barry Brimer 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

I am unable to mount an ext3 filesystem on RHEL AS 2.1. This is not the boot or root filesystem. When I try to mount the file system, I get the following error: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdj1, or too many mounted file systems When I try to run e2fsck -vvfy /dev/sdj1 I get the following error: Group descriptors look bad... trying backup blocks... Segmentation fault When I try running e2fsck -b 294912 -vvfy /dev/sdj1 (providing backup superblock location ..which I tried several of) I get the following error: Segmentation fault In dmesg, after trying to mount the filesystem, I get the following error: EXT3-fs: group descriptors corrupted ! EXT3-fs error (device sd(8,145)): ext3_check_descriptors: Block bitmap for group 128 not in group (block 523)! Any ideas? Thanks, Barry

btw - I installed your x86_64 rpms that has the ich9 patch directly on that box but it still will not boot without all the options. --- Michael Rock <mikerocks65(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > > David wrote: > > Now there are right md5sums and even > > x86_64 iso.delta. > > David > > I tried using applydeltaiso and it creates a 2gb ISO > but I notice it fails on applying. > > kdnssd-avahi-devel.i386: copying unchanged payload > kernel-xen.x86_64 (???): applying delta > new payload open failed > > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam?

Centos 5 on Large Disks.
by Anup Shukla 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

Hi All, Sorry if this has been answered many times. But i have been going through a lot of pages (via google search). The more i search, the more its confusing me. I have a server with 6 (750G each) SATA disks with H/W Raid 5. I plan to allocate the space as follows swap 8G /boot 100M / 20G -- and remaining space to /data{1,2,3,N} (equal sizes) However after the installation and reboot, i got an error about bad partition for /data8 I had hit the 2T limit. Then i found this page at http://www.knowplace.org/pages/howtos/linux_large_filesystems_support.php which speaks of using Parted/LVM2 and XFS. If i understand this correctly, I need to have 1 disk to host the CentOS installation. And i can use the other 5 disks in a RAID array (label type gpt...) Is it not possible to partition and use the existing RAID 5 volume? I really am not sure about how to proceed for this big disk problem. Any ideas/links will really help. Thank you. Regards, A.S
