mount problem on LVM2 w/ kernel-2.6.9-42.0.2
by Heitor A.M. Cardozo 01 Sep '06

01 Sep '06

Recently I update a server running CentOS 4.3 to kernel 2.6.9-42.0.2. 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! (pid 199) Creating root device Mounting root filesystem mount: error 6 mounting ext3 mount: error 2 mounting none Switching to new root switchroot: mount failed: 22 umount /initrd/dev failed: 2 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! 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

Right...(rolls up sleeves and takes a deep breath) I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay [the] mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing "Hallelujah."

Postfix and PostgreSQL
by Matthew O'Connor 01 Sep '06

01 Sep '06

Hello all, I require Postfix to have PostgreSQL support. Unfortunatly the RPM (nor the SRPM or it's SPEC file) that ships with CentOS doesn't include this. The SRPM (and it's associated SPEC file) that are made by Simon Mudd ( http://postfix.wl0.org/en/ ) do have PostgreSQL support, so I have downloaded that, tweaked the SPEC file and rebuilt an RPM that has PostgreSQL support. However, I would like to get the RPM that ships with CentOS to include this also, I know I have to contact the upstream vendors Postfix rpm maintainer, but I don't know who that is. Does anyone know who I should contact? Thanks, Matt

latest kernel
by Micha Silver 01 Sep '06

01 Sep '06

Today I updated several servers running CentOS 4.3, and got the new 2.6.9-42 kernel. One of the machines serves as our firewall. After rebooting I lost all forwarding thru the machine. I reverted back to the 2.6.9-34 kernel and connectivity returned. During the few minutes that the new kernel was running I checked that the routing table looked OK, and with tcpdump I saw that indeed no traffic was going thru from the externel interface to any of the internal interfaces. Has anyone seen similar behavior??

Hi all, Recently i have updagred my firewall box from CentOS 3.7 to 3.8. All works ok, except logwatch. All jobs that I have on cron works ok without problems, and system defaults crons too except logwatch. I have tried to run it manually without luck. How can I debug logwatch or how can I fix this? Many thanks. -- CL Martinez carlopmart {at} gmail {d0t} com

Dump problem on USB drive
by John Masters 01 Sep '06

01 Sep '06

Hi. I am running CentOS 4.3 on a small home server just dishing up mail, music etc. to the household. I had been doing irregular backups to a 160GB USB external drive /dev/sda1 mounted as /mnt/backup using tar. Then I read somewhere that dump was better so I tried that after clearing the drive (formatted as ext3). dump -0u -f /dev/sda1 /shared took a while to finish but gave no errors however ls showed no files and df -h showed /dev/sda1 to be 4.4T in size and 100% full. I've looked at the man pages but I must be missing something! Regards, John

bootloader installed at wrong place during install
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 01 Sep '06

01 Sep '06

Hi, I've just started testing CentOS 4.4 installs. When installing on two mirrored drives, the bootloader got installed into the first partition, instead of MBR. It was a kickstart install, and I used "bootloader --location=mbr" in the kickstart file (which is also a default). However, when looking into /root/anaconda-ks.cfg file, misteriously it was changed to "bootloader --location=partition" by Anaconda!? I've noticed this happening only when installing on two mirrored drives. If installing on a single drive, the boot loader ends up in MBR as it should. The partition config was relatively simple. Two partitions on each disk, mirrored. One for /boot, one for LVM (which than contained everything else). Has anybody else experienced same problem? -- NOTICE: If you are not intended recipient, you are hereby notified that by reading this message you agreed not to disturb frogs during mating season.
