rpm spec file for "fakejava"
by Dan Pritts 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

Interestingly, i just posted to the list a similar SPEC file. look at the thread on CGI.pm. I've attached my spec file for "fakejava" as well. It was a lot of trial and error to make it work. None of the documentation I could find was for modern versions of RPM, and IIRC the documentation i did find for older versions was incorrect somehow. I think I had to specify a source package, but i didn't have to actually do anything with it. I'm cc'ing the list on this so it makes it into the archives.

Software RAID muck up
by Lee W 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

Hi, I hope someone can help. Just started to play with software RAID on Centos 3.5 and was trying to simulate a faulty drive by using the -f switch on mdadm to mark the partition (drive) as faulty and I then I removed and readded the drive, which quit happily rebuilt according the /proc/mdstat and the output from the --detail switch of mdadm. After all this mucking around I shutdown the system and tried to restart it in the morning but the system now won't boot, it gets as far as "GRUB loading" and just stops I have hard reset to get it to reboot. I have rebooted using the install CD in rescue mode and I can see that all the arrays are setup quite happily (all RAID 1's if it matters) and mdstat reports the status as "dirty,no-errors". Is that status normal? all the how-tos I've seen about software RAID show this as the status, so I have kind of assumed that is okay. Given that all the data is readable from the arrays, I'm guessing that I had to do something to GRUB prior after rebuilding the arrays and before shutting down the system. Can anyone help fill in the gap in my knowledge as to what I should have done? Thanks for any help. Regards Lee

Dear All, anyone installed IMP4 on Centos 4.1 yet, http://www.horde.org/imp/4.0/ if so what problems did you have, I have a webmail server I am going to upgrade to Centos 4.1 and Imp 4 from its current centos 3.3 implementation and imp3 This is going to be a labour intensive manual task, and I wondered if anyone else out there was mad enough to have tried it already.... Failing that just advice on IMP4 installation on Centos 4.1 will be fine :-) P.

nfs install : kernel panic
by Rénald Legendre 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

hello, i just downloaded centos 4.1 dvd iso through bittorrent, compared it with the md5 checksum (result ok), and burned the 5Mb iso boot file, in order to make a nfs networked install. my nfs server is on 192.168.0.6 and i did a mount of the iso to /mnt/centos, then inserted the boot cd in the to-be-installed server, did a "ok, your ip is 192.168.0.7, the nfs server is 192.168.0.6, and the directory is /mnt/centos/", but there is a kernel panic... can someone tell me if there is something wrong with this please ? i already tried ftp & http installs, but it tells me "ftp://192.168.0.6//mnt/centos/(...)/net2(...).sys don't exist" (remark the two // after the ip address, both in ftp & http installs. i tried to do mnt/centos but the installer told me "no!"). thanks, legendre renald

Re: autofs handling of nis maps - Centos4

It seems to be > ignoring the key in the map pertaining to the host if it's not a valid host. > Does anyone know of a way to make it restrictive again and fail the > mount if the hostname match isn't valid? Hmmm, interesting. Normally if you don't have anything front of the ":", it assumes localhost. In your case, are you saying this didn't happen before when you have it an invalid hostname? Also, are you sure it's not DNS? Sometimes your local resolver automatically appends domainnames in your search. And some admins setup a "default" IN A record to be 127.0.0.1 on any lookup for a domain that doesn't properly resolve. I know that's kinda outside of your issue, but it's still something to check "just-in-case." Anyhoo, my typical "Golden Rule of Thumb" is to always export with the system name as part of the share. I find it avoids a lot of issues for myself, and it would in this case as well. I.e., only the system with the sharename that has the systemname could be mounted, and anything else would fail. Especially when it comes to systems with NFS automounts that host home directories that also share via Samba. I _avoid_ the default "homes" share, and explicitly setup a share that points to only an specific local path where user home directories could be located on that specific system. Now Samba does have good automounter support, and newer SMB has a DFS renaming approach, but it's still a nice option that works with any legacy setup (even when you have automounter and/or DFS in your Samba config). See page 1101 of "Appendix A" in "Samba Unleashed" on this -- as well as pages 1100-1102 for a general discussion of integration of NIS Automounter maps with Samba (non-DFS). It's circa 2000, but is still my recommended approach, even when Samba has been built with automounter and/or SMB DFS capability. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org
