yum recovery?
by James B. Byrne 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

Note: As a digest subscriber the favour of a direct reply is requested in addition to the list. I had a network connection interrupted while running yum update on a remote server. The last line displayed showed 189/3?? updated. Subsequently I reconnected and now yum reports that there is nothing to do: Setting up Upgrade Process Setting up repositories update 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 addons 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion Is there any simple way to check what the actual state of that machine is or to force yum to reapply all outstanding updates regardless of whether they are already installed or not?

php update
by Melinda Odom 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

Hi, I need to run yum update on my server which uses centos 3.5 now. Included in that update is updating php-4.3.2-24.ent to php-4.3.2-25.ent.centos.1 plus and will be going to centos 3.6. Will running this update to centos 3.6 include the mail extensions for php-4.3.2-25.ent.centos.1? I cannot find any information listed as to the 0000999 bug report in either the php-4.3.2-25.ent.centos.1.i386.rpm or php-4.3.2-25.ent.centos.1.src.rpm files. Thank you!

root file system on multipathed device and some other questions
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

I was playing a bit with multipathed devices (over two FC HBAs on SAN) last week (I had some hardware for limited time to play with). The support for multipathing in device mapper seems to be a bit newer thing, and I was left with couple of questions (things I haven't managed to try out while I had the hardware)... Is it possible to have root file system on multipathed device? I guess in this case some multipathing setup would need to occur when init scritps from initrd image are run, but I don't think mkinitrd is capable of generating such scripts (I might create it by hand, though, but than it wouldn't be recreated correctly on kernel upgrades). What about LVM? If I define physical volume on multipathed device, when vgscan is run from initrd image, and say multipathing is not setup yet, it will scan (for example) /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, which both point to same device. Is it going to be confused when it finds something that looks to it as two identical physical volumes? Or if vgscan is run after multipathing is setup, it would see something that might look to it as three identical physical volumes. /dev/sda and /dev/sdb which represent two paths to the same device, and then /dev/mapper/WWPN (where WWPN is long hex number) which is just multipathed mapping to sda and sdb. Or would it be smart enough not to use sda and sdb in this case, and use only "multipathed" device entry from /dev/mapper? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

More info on 3Ware 9550SX from the field (in case anyone else is interested)
by Chris Mauritz 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

From a buddy of mine that has spent a little time with the new cards. This was in response to my email asking about his impressions of them: It just came out in mid-September. There are a couple reasons I'm not thrilled with it: 1) no 8-port multilane version (only 12) 2) the 8-port non-multilane version is a kludge, connector-wise (a row of 3 double-stacked connectors along the edge, for 6 ports, and 2 double-stacked connectors in the middle of the board, of which the first connector in the stack is a dummy) 3) They are only on the first release of the software (9.3.0, the first- ship release, didn't work, and they released 9.3.0.1). At some point they will ship a unified release for the 9550 and 9500, but that's a ways off 4) no BBU support (yet).

We were waiting to roll in new code for the xfs file system from SGI, but that code is not yet ready. This release of the CENTOSPLUS kernel has the 2.6.9-22.0.1.EL code from upstream and is built like the previous CENTOSPLUS kernels with all the same items enabled. When the new SGI code for CENTOSPLUS becomes available, it will be released in an updated kernel. The following updated files have been uploaded and are currently syncing to the mirrors: i386: kernel-2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported.i586.rpm kernel-2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported.i686.rpm kernel-devel-2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported.i586.rpm kernel-devel-2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported.i686.rpm kernel-doc-2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported.noarch.rpm kernel-hugemem-2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported.i686.rpm kernel-hugemem-devel-2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported.i686.rpm kernel-smp-2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported.i586.rpm kernel-smp-2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported.i686.rpm kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported.i586.rpm kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported.i686.rpm src: kernel-2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported.src.rpm

CentOS + GFS + EtherDrive
by Bowie Bailey 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

I am considering building a pair of storage servers that will be using CentOS and GFS to share the storage from a Coraid (SATA+Raid) EtherDrive shelf. Has anyone else tried such a setup? Is GFS stable enough to use in a production environment? There is a build of GFS 6.1 at http://rpm.karan.org/el4/csgfs/. Has anyone used this? Is it stable? Will I run into any problems if I use CentOS 3.5 with it's GFS package to access a shared 5TB filesystem? I've been googling on this stuff off and on for a month now. I've found a bunch of conflicting and confusing information, but no clear answers. I've been kind of hoping that the new GFS 6.1 packages would be released while I was waiting... :) I appreciate any suggestions or pointers. Bowie

"qc-usb" kernel module src.rpm for CentOs 4.2 compile issues
by J.J.Garcia 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

Hi Ignacio, I'm running Centos 4.2 on some machines and just wonder which is the correct procedure to build one of your packages i've fonund in the fedora.ivazquez.net for FC4 but for CentOs for kernel-modules: http://fedora.ivazquez.net/yum/4/i386/SRPMS.ivazquez/kernel-module-qc-usb-0… http://fedora.ivazquez.net/yum/3/i386/SRPMS.ivazquez/kernel-module-qc-usb-0… I've tried unsuccesfully (following dag's Faq for rebuilding against the current kernel): # rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'kernel $(uname -r)' --target $(uname -m)\ kernel-module-qc-usb-0.6.3-0.iva.1.src.rpm TIA JJ

I am trying to compile gtik and it needs/wants this applet-widget.h (gtik is a gnome app) also gtik is supposed to be included in gnome. I think i found that as /usr/bin/gtik.applet however when running I get cannot find libpanel_applet. a yum provides libpanel_applet results in nothing.. I am stuck. Any pointers is appreciated.
