How do we handle panics? Bug it here or RH or ignore it (been around *long* time apparently)?
by William L. Maltby 08 Sep '06

"Unable to handle kernel paging request". I've saved the OOPS data from the logs for 6 panics since the 4.4 update. Two before I turned on DRI for my radeon (why not? Couldn't be any less "stable"). Did my google work and became aware it is a long-standing unfixed problem (at least through kernel 2.6.15? IIRC). I've started reading what I can find on crash to see if I can get the whole thing. Do we have a kernel with debug symbols and associated? I don't know if I'll pursue this. Disabled swap and that seems to be working. I'm fortunate I can do this. Others may not be so lucky. I'd like to turn swap back on, but I'll probably have to disable all that read-ahead stuff again and find the thread on the swappiness switch and try and find the list of kernel parameters *again* (I know there in here somewhere)... Enough griping for today. Do I bugzilla CentOS, RH or ignore it? TIA, -- Bill

There is a bug introduced in autofs which breaks maps which are not stored in /etc. There is a patch but no official update yet. A patched version of autofs is available here: http://www.chrysocome.net/downloads/autofs-4.1.3-187.c4.1.i386.rpm See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=201084 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=202860 John. -- John Newbigin Computer Systems Officer Faculty of Information and Communication Technologies Swinburne University of Technology Melbourne, Australia http://www.ict.swin.edu.au/staff/jnewbigin

Upgrading from RH 9
by Zyxian 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Howdy. I've got a RH 9 server that has a 60 gig hard drive in it. I'm gonna replace it with a 100 gig and install CentOS 4.4. Can I just copy the password files, home directories, config files, etc. or does it need to be done some other way? Thanks

I like to keep my mails, additional to my privat I am following several mailing list, separated, so the quota is way to small. I feel like the best for me is to move my domain here, setting up my own server. I have been using djbdn and qmail earlier, but would like to change to something more standard, I should manage though, but I am a little afraid of the work load setting things up. So my question at the moment boils down to, witch supplier of dynamic dns service to use, that also mx forward without to many restrictions. Thanks Kai

I just joined the mailing list after seeing this e-mail in the mailing list archives. Does anyone have any idea as to why this may be happening? I am having this exact problem on a Dell Poweredge 1855. Jeremy Carrigan ****************************************Original E-mail from Mailing List Archives******************************************** * To: <centos@xxxxxxxxxx <mailto:centos@DOMAIN.HIDDEN> > * Subject: [CentOS] mount problem on LVM2 w/ kernel-2.6.9-42.0.2 * From: "Heitor A.M.

After the update it had a problem to mount LVM partitions, showing the follow error during boot: No volume groups found Activating logical volumes Unable to find volume group "lvm1" ERROR: /bin/lvm exited abnormally!

Root partition is a LVM2 on Software RAID. With old kernel (2.6.9-34.0.2) the system boot normally. Any idea what is error? Best regards Heitor Augusto

I'm seeing grep break when I grep large numbers of gzip files in /var/log. Posted bug on bugzilla. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=205534 Description of problem: grep errors with: --- *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (normal): *** Aborted. --- when doing recursive grep in /var/log, other places. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Linux 2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp 0x86_64, Linux 2.6.9-34.0.2.ELsmp i686 How reproducible: Consistently on i686 and x86_64 boxes Centos4.4. Recently upgraded from CentOS 4.3 to 4.4. I have large /var/log directories with plenty of gzipped logs. Steps to Reproduce: 1. cd /var/log 2. grep -ri "Check Spelling & Mumble" * 3. (or) grep -ri "Check Spelling & Mumble" *gz Actual results: Fails with: *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (normal): *** Aborted. Sometimes: *** glibc detected *** realloc(): invalid next size: 0x000.... *** Aborted. Expected results: No failure. Additional info: Grepping 7GB of compressed logs on one server, grepping 4GB logs on other server. x86_64 Server had 35M or 3G+cache ram free; i686 server had 374M ram free, 960M+cache.
