automounted filesystem appears empty on first reference
by Dan Halbert 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

I have an odd automount problem. The first time I look in an automounted filesystem (when the mount is requested), it is empty; the second time it is not. Moreover, I only see this behavior on Centos 4.x systems, but not on Centos 5.0 systems going to the same fileserver. Here's an example, with some details simplified to clarify. In this example, fileserver1 is exporting fs1. centos4$ /bin/ls /mnt/fileserver1/fs1 # first time, directory looks empty centos4$ /bin/ls /mnt/fileserver1/fs1 # second time, I see the contents file1 dir2 I don't see this on Centos 5, which comes with a new (v5.x vs v4.x) version of automount: centos5$ /bin/ls /mnt/fileserver1/fs1 # I see the contents right away, on the first try file1 dir2 I watched the logs on fileserver1, and automount request is logged immediately after the first ls prints nothing. The automount maps are stored in ldap. The Centos4 and Centos5 systems are referencing the same maps. The entry in auto.master for fileserver1 (for cn=/mnt/fileserver1) is: ldap:ou=auto.fileserver1,ou=autofs,dc=example,dc=com --timeout=86400 --ghost -o rw,hard,async,noatime,intr,retrans=4,timeo=100,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 and in auto.fileserver1 is (for cn=*): fileserver1.example.com:/export/& At first I thought it had to do with the --ghost, but I took that out and adjusted things and still had the same problem. It is completely reproducible if I umount the automount between tries. Any idea what is causing this? I have been unable to find a similar-sounding problem, even with extensive Googling. Why does the first automount appear to be asynchronous, with some kind of race condition, and the second is synchronous? I even see a little hesitation on the centos5 box before ls prints the directory contents, so it appears to be waiting for the automount to complete. All the Centos 4 and Centos 5 boxes are current with "yum update". This problem is causing failures on some of our applications because they don't see their data the first time they run, when the automount occurs We see this across many boxes, and several fileservers (the fileservers are Fedora Core 5 and 6 machines, for stupid reasons). Thanks, Dan

Cross-platform GUI libraries with drag 'n drop IDEs
by Ioannis Vranos 03 Oct '07

03 Oct '07

OS: CentOS 5.0 x86. I am a programmer, relatively new to GNU/Linux and am looking for cross platform GUI development, mainly for EL5 and Windows. I have found wxWidgets so far. I prefer drag 'n drop programming IDEs, QT seems to provide this for GNU/Linux, but it isn't free for Windows. Does anyone know of any decent GUI cross-platform library for EL5 and Windows with a drag 'n drop IDE? Thanks.

excluding directories in rsync
by Ski Dawg 03 Oct '07

03 Oct '07

Hello Everyone, I am trying to exclude a directory (and all file and sub-directories under that directory) when using rsync. I have spent two days on google, but everything that I can find there involves excluding individual files, not an entire directory. I have tried the following commands, but in each case the remove_dir and all of its sub-directories and files area still sent to the remote server. 1) rsync --delete --compress --archive --rsh=ssh --exclude="**/remove_dir/**" /local/path/ $user@$host:remote/path 2) rsync --delete --compress --archive --rsh=ssh --exclude="\*\*/remove_dir/\*\*" /local/path/ $user@$host:remote/path 3) rsync --delete --compress --archive --rsh=ssh --exclude="/local/path/**/remove_dir/**" /local/path/ $user@$host:remote/path 4) rsync --delete --compress --archive --rsh=ssh --exclude-from=/path/to/exclude_file /local/path/ $user@ $host:remote/path and the /path/to/exclude_file contains: # don't include these files/dirs - **/remove_dir/** Any thoughts on the proper way to exclude an entire directory and its sub-directories and files when doing an rsync? -- Doug Registered Linux User #285548 (http://counter.li.org) ---------------------------------------- Random Thought: QOTD: If it's too loud, you're too old.

Peculiar situation while build httpd-2.2.6 from provided spec
by Anup Shukla 03 Oct '07

03 Oct '07

Hi all, While build a rpm from the httpd-2.2.6 sources (spec file included in the source package), i had a situation where packaging would fail at the step where several link are created for "logs" etc directories. <<..snip from httpd.spec...>> # symlinks for /etc/httpd ln -s ../..%{_localstatedir}/log/httpd $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/httpd/logs ln -s ../..%{_localstatedir}/run $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/httpd/run ln -s ../..%{_libdir}/httpd/modules $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/httpd/modules ln -s ../..%{_libdir}/httpd/build $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/httpd/build <<......>> It had me scratching my head for quite a while before figuring out that the %_sysconfdir macro wrongly gets translated to /usr/etc (should be /etc) Putting "%_sysconfdir /etc" in my .rpmmacros file did the trick and the package got built cleanly. Does this qualify as a bug? Anyone else faced the same problem? Regards. A.S.

External view in sample BIND named.conf
by Kenneth Porter 03 Oct '07

03 Oct '07

I just want to confirm that this is a "bug" before reporting it to Bugzilla. I started with the sample named.conf included in the distribution and found that I couldn't query my server from outside my LAN. I finally traced it down to the match expressions in the sample's external view. bind-9.3.3-9.0.1.el5 /usr/share/doc/bind-9.3.3/sample/etc/named.conf The view has these match settings: match-clients { !localnets; !localhost; }; match-destinations { !localnets; !localhost; }; Changing these to "any" allowed queries to get in. Is the ! syntax invalid for this version of BIND? I don't see anything in Buzilla that looks like this issue: <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?component=bind&order=bugs.bug_id>

PHP5/CentosPlus big mess.
by David Mackintosh 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

Ok, so if you tuned in last time, I couldn't make the installation/upgrade of PHP5 from the Centos4 CentOS Plus repository work. Not one to be easilly dissuaded, I shapened my shovel and dug myself a hole. So using the exclude= lines in the repository config file backfired big time: even if I excluded the exclude= lines, yum continued to exclude the files on those lines, and only deigned to update three php files. Thus, my user complained that the mysql pieces were not there. So what I did was install CentOS 4 fresh into a VM, update it, then I just did a: # yum --enablerepo centosplus --exclude php-pecl-ssh2 --exclude php-eaccelerator --exclude php-pear-Image-GraphViz --exclude php-pear-PHPUnit2 install php php* (see the explanations for the --excludes on http://wiki.xdroop.com/space/CentOS/4/Updating+to+PHP+5) Please with my illusion of progress, I then copied the RPMs from the local cache to my target machine, and installed them with # rpm -Uvh --nodeps --replacefiles *rpm The --nodeps was because some other package not otherwise updated depended on the previous version of php-pear, and the --replacefiles was because rpm was complaining that some file owned by mysql-4 conflicted with the mysql-5 package even though it was going to be "upgraded". Now, my users are complaining about errors like: [28-Sep-2007 10:32:29] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/fileinfo.so' - /usr/lib/php/modules/fileinfo.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 [28-Sep-2007 10:32:29] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/apc.so' - /usr/lib/php/modules/apc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 [...repeat for each file in /usr/lib/php/modules/...] However, those "files" are there: # ls -l /usr/lib/php/modules/fileinfo.so /usr/lib/php/modules/apc.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 75652 Nov 24 2006 /usr/lib/php/modules/apc.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10580 Nov 24 2006 /usr/lib/php/modules/fileinfo.so I don't know anything about how to get php to show these errors, since the simple phpinfo.php file works (but admittedly it doesn't really do anything). Can anyone point me in the right direction, or perhaps offer me other directions in which to dig? -- /\oo/\ / /()\ \ David Mackintosh | dave(a)xdroop.com | http://www.xdroop.com

RPM package wish list
by mark pryor 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

hello, Does our beloved Centos project have a page where one can request that an RPM package be built, especially for C5? How about alerts when those requests have been satisfied? I know about 3rd party repos like rpmforge, epel, and kbextras. I can search those in YUM. Centos seems to have specialized as a server OS in the past, but my experience is that it is an up and coming desktop/workstation OS too. Many folks might like to see packages built that are more Desktop oriented, which are not available in upstream, nor in the 3rd party repos. thanks for your info, Mark --------------------------------- Moody friends.

Anaconda Partial Freeze...
by semi linux 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

Hey, I'm trying to run a kickstart script on a new piece of hardware... I've never used this HW before, so it's possible that there may be something faulty... After the DVD boots, I type "linux ks=http://blah/blah.ks" and hit enter. Once I get to the anaconda line which says "running /sbin/loader", the machine sits in a frozen state for a long time (3-5 minutes)... anyone have any clue what's going on here? Or at least how to debug it? It's too early to switch tot he other terminals, so I'm a little lost. I've tired testing the RAM and reseating, etc... nothing seems to works. - G.
