Centos5: RAID1 on root/boot? [+lilo mkinitrd issues]
by Pekka Savola 23 Apr '07

23 Apr '07

Hi, I did a command-line upgrade of a RHL73 server to Centos 5. It was a bit rocky road, but in the end it was successful. There's one thing that bugged me. I'm using software RAID1 consisting of /dev/hd{a,c}. No LVM or anything fancy, a number of /dev/mdX partitions, including the root (+/boot). I'd have preferred to continue using lilo as it works more easily with RAID1 root/boot setups. The deployment guide for Centos5 claims to support RAID1 boot partitions (RHEL4 didn't, and provided a pointer a site in UK which no longer works for more info), it's not clear how exactly a redundant boot block configuraton is achieved with that -- so that if you remove the primary drive, it'll still boot. Anyone have pointers for this? [I've gone through a number of sites with various hacks how to install grub on both disks, but I'm not quite sure which ones are valid, and whether those are needed anymore] .. read on if you're interested about the lilo/mkinitrd problem .. However, lilo doesn't really work, the root cause as far as I've been able to go is that '/dev/root' isn't recognized and as such not mounted. With grub this works. The init script in the initrd includes the following (automatically generated): ===8<== echo Creating root device. mkrootdev -t ext3 -o defaults,ro /dev/md0 echo Mounting root filesystem. mount /sysroot ===8<== And looking at the vast amount of RH bugs about this, it seems this root autodetection has caused significant grief, e.g., https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=197701. However, no bugs on this (or similar) have been filed under RHEL5. Any thoughts? Anyone run with similar setups? *) =======8<==== md: autorun DONE .. Creating root device Mounting root filesystem mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root' Setting up other filesystems Setting up new root fs setuproot: moving /dev failed: no such file or directory no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults setuproot: error mounting /proc: no such file or dir setuproot: error mounting /sys: no such file or dir ... and finally, a kernel panic. =======8<====== -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds."

Cent LDAP server
by Chris 23 Apr '07

23 Apr '07

Forgive my ignorance on this topic - I would like to build an LDAP server at our shop. We a native 2k3 domain and would like this Cent LDAP server to pull in all the info from AD. Then periodically, have the Cent server sync with new addition/subtractions of AD. Is there a How-To out there somewhere that someone can point me to? I don't want to recreate the wheel by hand-inputing information into the Cent LDAP server. TIA and thanks for the patience and understanding. -- Best regards, Chris Motorized vehicles only.

Re: [CentOS] JPackage, Java 1.5.0, and CentOS 5?
by Ioannis Vranos 22 Apr '07

22 Apr '07

I have downloaded and installed JDK 1.5.0_11 by downloading and running it from SUN's site. No needs for any HOWTOs, except for how to create a link to mozilla/plugins available on SUN's site, so as to use the jre from firefox.

find-requires on rpmbuild
by Yuji Tsuchimoto 22 Apr '07

22 Apr '07

Dear all, It may be not problem of CentOS, but I need your help. I am using CentOS 5. It is very good distribution. When I build rpms from src.rpm using icc(intel C compiler), Some shared objects' requirements contain path of .so files. For example, in case of libjpeg, Requires: .libs/libjpeg.so()(64bit) libc.so.6()(64bit) ... should be Requires: libjpeg.so()(64bit) libc.so.6()(64bit) ... I think the extra path can be removed using basename command. But I have no idea where I should insert it. ( /usr/lib/rpm/find-requires is not call from rpmbuild? ) Thank you in advance.
