DRBD Problem
by centos＠bathnetworks.com 25 Jun '06

25 Jun '06

Hi all, I've been wrestling with a problem with drdb and centos. I have successfully created one drbd resource, but when I try the create a 2nd, I get an error on one of the nodes: Lower device is already mounted. Command 'drbdsetup /dev/drbd1 disk /dev/hdd1 internal -1' terminated with exit code 20 The partition is not mounted from fstab etc and is newly created with parted after wiping this disk with dd. On the node with the problem I see: cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name 3 0 60034968 hda 3 1 514048 hda1 3 2 1534207 hda2 3 3 57986617 hda3 22 0 120060864 hdc 22 1 114688003 hdc1 22 64 117220824 hdd 22 65 114688003 hdd1 253 0 117219800 dm-0 253 1 114688003 dm-1 147 0 114556928 drbd0 On the other node the dm-0 and dm-1 do not occur. Being new to Linux, I am not sure where these come from. I have tried google, but nothing makes sense. This maybe a red herring, but dm-1 has the same number of blocks as hdd1 which I am trying to mount so I'm guessing that this is the cause of the problem. As I have tried changing every thing I can except the mb/processor and reinstalling, I'm really stuck. HELP Please. Rob

Evolution bug in CentOS 4.3
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 24 Jun '06

24 Jun '06

Hi Everyone, A client has an email in Evolution with an attachment: CNH_Specialized_Bid_Letter_Web_Ex_#1.doc When the file is opened directly from Evolution, OOo Writer complains: /home/rob/.evolution/cache/tmp/evolution-tmp-inF1Pe/CNH_Specialized_Bid_Letter_Web_Ex_ does not exist. But, the user's Evolution temp cache has a copy of the file: -rw-rw---- 1 rob rob 30208 Jun 23 00:43 CNH_Specialized_Bid_Letter_Web_Ex_#1.doc This problem appears to be similar to this bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341482 It's not exactly the same: the effect is, though. I want to see if the posted patch will work. But, I'm also wondering if this is on the upstream distro's radar for U4. I search their bugzilla - didn't find anything. Anyone else run into this?

command to echo size of images
by Jerry Geis 23 Jun '06

23 Jun '06

All, Is there a command line program in centos to echo back the size of an image (gif,jpg,png)? I did see that file image.jpg sometimes works but reports the wrong image size. I see xview image.jpg reports the correct size but I dont want to see the image just get its size. Thanks for any suggestions. Jerry

Need help configuring additional serial ports
by Alfred von Campe 23 Jun '06

23 Jun '06

I installed a 2 port serial PCI card on a system running CentOS 4.3, but I can't get the additional serial ports to work. The card I used is from StarTech (http://www.startech.com/Product/ItemDetail.aspx? productid=PCI2S550&c=US). When it is detected by kudzu, it shows up as a "NetMos Technologies PCI 9835 Multi I/O Controller". I've included the output of "lspci" and "cat /proc/pci" below. The (very sparse) instructions for Linux support for this card state that you should look for the string "serial port x" in the contents of /proc/pci, and then use that information with the setserial command to configure the port as follows: # setserial /dev/ttyS2 port 0xc000 uart 16550 irq 11 baud_base 115200 The problem is that I can't find the equivalent of the "0xc000" and the IRQ on my system in the contents of /proc/pci. Here is what the built-in, working serial port looks like: # setserial -a /dev/ttyS0 /dev/ttyS0, Line 0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4 Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 500, divisor: 0 closing_wait: 30000 Flags: spd_normal skip_test auto_irq Any ideas how to get these serial ports working?

Installing from a usb drive
by Emmanuel Seyman 23 Jun '06

23 Jun '06

Hi, all. We've make custom isos of CentOS and having trouble during the installation. Here's what we did : Add our rpms to CentOS/RPMS Add a folder of scripts and two kickstart files to the base directory run "pkgorder /path/to/base i386 CentOS > /tmp/foo.txt" run "genhdlist --fileorder /tmp/foo.txt /path/to/base" rerun the pkgorder command Add a custom group to CentOS/base/comps.xml run "buildinstall --pkgorder /tmp/foo.txt --version 4.2 --product "CentOS" --release "BAR_V1" --discs "BAR" --prodpath CentOS --comp BARv1 /path/to/base" change isolinux/isolinux.cfg to add two labels, one for each ks file run "mkisofs -o foobar.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -R -J -v /path/to/base" to generate the DVD iso. This iso works fine when we burn it to dvd and install from it but when we boot from DVD and select the kickstart file that installs from a USB drive, we get the following error : "trying to mount already-mounted image!" Could anybody explain why ? Emmanuel

x86 uniprocessor 4GB memory
by Bruno Sousa 23 Jun '06

23 Jun '06

Hi there, I'm currently using CentOS 4.3 (Server edition) in a HP DC 5100 with the IntelR 915GV chipset, powered by a PIV 3.0GHZ. Now I'm facing a problem, with memory. I got myself 4GB of memory, the system bios detects it correctly, but in Linux can only see around 3.5gb memory. With the default kernel-smp (I use hyperthread) or with kernel-hugemem , I have the same results. Is there any way to workaround this issue? Thanks in advance, Bruno Sousa
