AW: [CentOS] CentOS 5 release for IBM z/Series?
by Nils.Reimann＠izb.de 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Hi dag! Thx for your reply! So, there will be no release in the near future of centos 5 for Z? At the moment we got a realy small z/linux installation, but i love it. Keeping the TCO as low as we can was necessary to satisfy the decision-maker. So we decided to choos a free linux distribution, centos was a good decicion we thougt. (redhat / fedora was always my favorite flavor *g*) It would be great if we can give something to the community! Personaly i can't help very much cause i'm the only knowledge carrier here for z/linux, with anoter colleague, and so we havent much time. How is development going on for centos on z and how can we help so i can talk with my head. Thx for reading!

We definitely are looking for people to show their interest and to help out. If you feel strong about having an s390 release, maybe we could create an s390 Special Interest Group, hopefully if enough interest exists and we have to resources (mainly manpower) to build and support it once again, it can happen. More information about Special Interest Groups: http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup I have heard other people voice interest in a recent s390 build, but with nobody taking initiative and without hard numbers of interested people it may not be forthcoming. -- -- dag wieers, dag(a)centos.org, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors] _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

by Thomas Antony 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Hi. I added a disk to a hardware raid 5 array and now i want to expand the LVM physical volume. There are now 4 sas 146GB disks in the server. The virtual disk /dev/sdb from the raid controller has been resized successfully with the server management software osma. [root@srv1 ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 438.4 GB, 438489317376 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 53309 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 35539 285466986 8e Linux LVM When i run "pvresize /dev/sdb1" the output tells me it has been resized, but actually the physical volume didn't expand to the partition size 438GB. [root@srv1 ~]# pvresize /dev/sdb1 Physical volume "/dev/sdb1" changed 1 physical volume(s) resized / 0 physical volume(s) not resized [root@srv1 ~]# pvdisplay /dev/sdb1 --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/sdb1 VG Name VolGroup01 PV Size 272.24 GB / not usable 24.17 MB Allocatable yes (but full) PE Size (KByte) 32768 Total PE 8711 Free PE 0 Allocated PE 8711 PV UUID TCE2wI-U5kt-e8hd-d4gU-ug7Y-aEp9-k5QwG6 How can i resize the physical volume sdb1 to the partition size 438GB? Thank you in advance, Thomas

forcing Y on yum upgrades
by Rogelio Bastardo 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

I'd like to be able to do a "yum upgrade" without having to hit Y each time. While "yum install -y [program]}" seems to work, "yum -y upgrade" doesn't seem to. Is there a way to easily do this?

File retrieval from outside hangs, internally is okay, only Centos5 affected
by Bent Terp 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Hi! I have a really weird problem with some of my servers, namely all the ones running Centos5 When I try to download a file from the server to a machine outside our Cisco 6500 router/firewall, the download hangs about half the times (15 out of 40) when less than half a megabyte into the transfer (varied from 76 kb to 496 kb). One server has a portchannel (Cisco speak for ethernet bundle), others do not, some use e1000, some use broadcom, I've tried httpd and scp transfers, I've tried from three different clients, Here's the really annoying part: the problem only occurs when downloading from outside the firewall, not when transferring files internally in the serverroom! And the switch is the firewall is a modular chassis, so the data comes over the same backplane regardless. And there's 42 files in /proc/net/sys/ipv4 which differ between EL4 and Centos5, so I'm a little lost here Anybody got some ideas? with kind regards, Bent PS Crossposted from Centos Forum, in case sombody on the list, who doesn't read the forum, can help me

Intel G33 Compatibility for Centos Server
by Michael Rock 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Been running rock solid servers on Centos 3 and 4 for years but equipment is starting to die so it is time. I was thinking along the lines of an Intel Q6600 on an Asus P5K-VM mobo with the new G33 chipset utilizing SATA. Is anyone having success with this board or any of the G33 chipsets where I am not going to run into all kinds of install problems? I see these other threads of install problems with the new chipsets so are a bit leary of making the purchase without hearing of some success stories. Any recommendations? thx -- Mike ____________________________________________________________________________________ Tonight's top picks. What will you watch tonight?

IPV6 warnings/errors
by Steve Campbell 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

I have just installed my first CentOS 5 server. I run proftpd on the server and I am getting a lot of warnings about IPV6 things. I do not have ip6tables turned on, but figure there is something else I have not done properly. A few of the errors are like: Deprecated pam_stack module called from service "proftpd" pam_unix(proftpd:session): session opened for user steve by (uid=0) Deprecated pam_stack module called from service "proftpd" library2.cnpapers.com (::ffff:216.30.205.128[::ffff:216.30.205.128]) - error setting IPV6_V6ONLY: Protocol not available I also see, when I do an ifconfig, references to inet6 lines such as inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host for my loopback and similar lines for my eth devices. Am I in trouble and is there something I need to do? Thanks for any help. Steve Campbell

pam_ldap + nscd
by Felix Schwarz 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Hi, I'd like to use nscd for passwd+group caching. pam_ldap is configured and works (e.g. 'id foo' returns the correct user id if foo is present in ldap). If I start nscd manually (not started by default), 'id foo' returns 'No such user'. As soon as I stop nscd, 'id foo' starts working again. I suspect nscd is only looking at /etc/passwd because 'id root' always works (root is present in /etc/passwd). This is on a CentOS 5 system. Disabling SELinux did not help. I did not attach any config files purposefully because I don't know where to look for the problem and attaching nsswitch.conf, ldap.conf etc. would result in a huge post. Nevertheless, I will consider any information needed to diagnose the problem although I suspect that this a very simple configuration problem. Thank you very much :-) fs

anaconda kernel parameter to load module
by Farkas Levente 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

hi, how can i add kernel parameters to anaconda to load a module? in a normal booting initrd contains an init script so i can modify it load a given module (after i put it into the initrd). but in case of installer the initrd contains a binary init so i can't modify it. in this case how can i define kernel param (eg: through isolinux.cfg) to load additional modules? suppose i've got an xfs partition on which the installer reside and i use lilo to load the kernel and initrd, but after that the kernel can't read anything from the partition since it's not load xfs. is there any way to load kernel modules in this case trough kernel params (ie. append)? thanks. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"
