Problems switching from RHEL 6 to Centos 6
by Alois Treindl 30 Jul '17

30 Jul '17

I am trying to migratean existing RHEL 6 machine to Centos 6. I followed the instructions in https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/MigrationGuide I run into problems: when I run yum upgrade then yum tries to access a repository rhel-6-server-extras-rpms and then fails. What can I do that yum no longer tries to access this repository?

Getting started with mod_security
by Nicolas Kovacs 29 Jul '17

29 Jul '17

Hi, I'm currently fiddling with mod_security, and before going any further, I simply wanted to ask here for any recommended documentation/tutorials on the subject. There seems to be a lot of information about mod_security out there, and right now I have a bit of a hard time wrapping my head around it. I'm grateful for any suggestions.

vncserver died
by Robert Moskowitz 28 Jul '17

28 Jul '17

I get back from two weeks on the road, and try to VNC to my server and it fails. I ssh in and see that, yes vncserver is dead. I tried restarting it and see below for the failure messages plus my systemd setup. Can someone point me to trouble shooting why it says about resources (if that is the problem); # systemctl -l status vncserver@:3.service ● vncserver@:3.service - Remote desktop service (VNC) Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/vncserver@.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: resources) since Fri 2017-07-28 13:31:15 EDT; 54s ago Process: 19173 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/runuser -l root -c /usr/bin/vncserver %i (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 19170 ExecStartPre=/bin/sh -c /usr/bin/vncserver -kill %i > /dev/null 2>&1 || : (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Jul 28 13:31:12 homebase.home.htt systemd[1]: Starting Remote desktop service (VNC)...

NFS issue, C7
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 27 Jul '17

27 Jul '17

Actually, with C6, too. We've been fighting a problem with a server with a RAID appliance that's having issues. It's also serving /home/* and project directories for one team. What happens is when the issues happen, NFS on the other servers they use, of course, gags with timeouts. Now, my question is this: if we go to reboot one of the other servers where one or more home directories is being exported to, and is mounted by autofs, it hangs, and will *not* reboot, because it can't let go of the NFS-mounted directory, with the result that we have to physically go into the room and power cycle the box. Is there any way to configure NFS such that if a system is going down, NFS will wait a few minutes while it retries, then time out and let it reboot? mark

qemu-system-x86_64 does not support fw_cfg option
by Steve Rubie-Todd 26 Jul '17

26 Jul '17

Hi I am trying to run CoreOS (Container Linux) as a guest OS using KVM/QEMU. One of their suggestions is to pass config info into the VM using the "fw_cfg" option . When I try this I get the error "-fw_cfg invalid option". If I run the vm with the help option it does not list the fw_cfg option. However, according to the qemu documentation, see here <https://qemu.weilnetz.de/doc/qemu-doc.html#Debug_002fExpert-options>, they support this option. The command used to run the vm is: /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -name CL-IGN-1 -m 1024 \ -net nic,vlan=0,model=virtio \ -net user,vlan=0,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22,hostname=CL-IGN-1 \ -drive if=virtio,file=./coreos_production_qemu_image.img \ -fw_cfg name=opt/com.coreos/config,file=./CL-IGN-1.ignconfig qemu-system-x86_64: -fw_cfg: invalid option I also tried using /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm but got the same error. I am running:: CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core) qemu-system-x86-2.0.0-1.el7.6.x86_64 qemu-kvm-1.5.3-126.el7.x86_64 Thanks.

dbus-daemon and CentOS6
by isdtor 26 Jul '17

26 Jul '17

We are seeing high load developing over time on some machines that have dozens of user sessions. One common characteristic is that dbus-daemon uses near 100% cpu. Red Hat seems to be aware of the problem, but the solutions are available to subscribers only. https://access.redhat.com/solutions/110403 https://access.redhat.com/solutions/363554 Does anyone have access and can summarize here? Thanks.

Copying CentOS AMIs for EBS encryption
by Andrew Hodgson 25 Jul '17

25 Jul '17

Hi, I am trying to copy the latest CentOS image to my own AWS account so that I can enable EBS volume encryption. It currently looks like the option when sharing the image is not enabled to allow direct copying of the snapshots, and I am wondering if this could be looked at? I can start an instance with this AMI, then create a new snapshot for the purpose of enabling EBS volume encryption, but I want to keep the image as clean as possible, and am worried if I run the image then some scripts will get ran that will customise the image with keys etc. If there is a better way to do this then happy to discuss. Thanks, Andrew.
