Muchas gracias por sus respuestas y tiempo.

He utilizado la herramienta CloneZilla y la verdad que funciono
perfectamente para mi necesidad.

Saludos y muchas gracias por su colaboración.

  arranca el sistema con un iso de clonezilla, accederás por ahi a los

If it's on a different file system than mkfs is the fastest. ;)

[CentOS] Make server reboot by itself instead of dropping to kernel debugger

2013-08-23 Thread Alexander Farber
Hello,

on OpenBSD if you put ddb.panic=0
into /etc/sysctl.conf, the server won't
drop into debugger on kernel panic.

Is there please a similar setting
for CentOS 6.4 / 64 bit?

The background is that I have a new
dedicated server with Haswell CPU
and once a month it is stuck, displaying
kernel trace (the other users at my
hoster have similar problems).

So the users of my web site complain.

I'd prefer my web server to just reboot

Thank you
Alex

 I agree with what you are saying, and I think you may even want to use
 unlink() if they are all files, no dirs. remove() actually will call
 unlink() so you may be able to save few function calls and logical
 statements.

I doubt saving functions calls is going to gain you anything in this 
case as 99.9% of the time the rm takes is on disk I/O. If you want to 
reduce the rm time you have to find a way to reduce the disk I/O it 
requires.

Correct.

If it's a whole directory (tree) that needs removing then I find

  mv dir dir.o ; mkdir dir ; chown ##:## dir; chmod ### dir ; rm -r dir.o 

type stuff works just fine; the rm can chunk along in the background
while there's now a nice clean empty directory for the application.

 good point. I should have known that's what you meant.

one so far, but it's a high-end 5.1 model and costs USD$40), and ordering from 
the U.S. is a multiweek turnaround time. Hence, I decided to ask first and 
suffer the wrath of the list for asking the obvious.

If your servers have a watchdog timer (most with IPMI/iLO/iDRAC/etc do), 
you can enable it. The OS will then have to kick the timer periodically 
to restart it's counter. If the OS panic's, it won't be able to reset 
the timer. Once the timer expires, it reboots.

Re: [CentOS] yum update after update from 6.3 to 6.4 - problems with epel repository.

2013-08-23 Thread Will Public
Have you tried a `yum clean all`

Also the base arch is your code base, x86_64 etc.

Try commenting out the mirrorlist= and hit the baseurl= directly.

baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/$basearch
#mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-6arch=$basearch


If you change this you will have to do a `yum clean all`

[CentOS] Setting Up LVS to Load Balance DNS

2013-08-23 Thread Trevor Kates
Greetings, all:

OS: CentOS 6.4 x86_64
Kernel: 2.6.32-358.14.1

I could use some assistance with setting up pulse to load balance my dns
servers. I've configured tcp and udp port 53 with the piranha gui, set up
arptable rules on the real servers and added the virtual ip to the bond0
interface on the real servers, but I'm still having no luck in getting
things going. A dig against the virtual ip address simply times out and
ipvsadm shows no servers under the UDP connection for the virtual IP I
defined in lvs.cf. Nanny also complains in /var/log/messages like so:

READ to x.x.x.x timed out

I've attached my lvs.cf and sysctl.conf files for the lvs server and real
dns servers. Any help or nudges in the right direction would be greatly
appreciated!

Thanks.

Re: [CentOS] RHEL Subscriptions

 It says if you let ALL your subscriptions expire.   I read that to mean
 after you have no active subscriptions, you can use the software.   Seems

 the detailed contract version it says clearly 'use or execute':
 This clause is almost certainly to prevent folks from having a single
 subscription and then using that to update all the others in the
 environment. I don't have a problem with it; we do have several
 hundred RHEL systems. There are alternatives though. CentOS works for
 many companies. Even Oracle manages to rebuild the Red Hat packages
 and sell support around it.

Right .. you CAN NOT get all the Red Hat RPMs from one RHEL subscription
via RHN and use those RPMs on 20 other machines that have no RHEL RHN
subscription.

You CAN have 20 CentOS machines, getting updates from CentOS and also
have licensed RHEL machines on your network with the RHEL machines
getting updates from Red Hat.  You can also convert RHEL machines to
CentOS or CentOS machines to RHEL machines, etc.

What you would do to convert a RHEL machine to a CentOS machine is to
replace all the RHEL RPMs with CentOS RPMs ... that is very easy to do
... with CentOS-6, you can just do:

replace the redhat-release* rpm with the centos-release rpm

remove any Red Hat repos from yum

yum upgrade

then

yum reinstall *

That would replace any Red Hat RPMs with CentOS RPMs ... except the
kernel which would need to be done manually.

But if you want SLA type support for your machines, that is what RHEL is
for ... so buy it if you need it.

Re: [CentOS] Make server reboot by itself instead of dropping to kernel debugger

2013-08-23 Thread Alexander Farber
I am not sure though, if I need to start
the watchdog daemon at all -
because I altready have these lines in my dmesg:

iTCO_vendor_support: vendor-support=0
iTCO_wdt: Intel TCO WatchDog Timer Driver v1.07rh
iTCO_wdt: Found a Lynx Point TCO device (Version=2, TCOBASE=0x1860)
iTCO_wdt: initialized. heartbeat=30 sec (nowayout=0)

Does it mean there is some hardware watchdog
active at my CentOS 6.4 / 64 bit (Haswell CPU) server already?

Thank you for any hints
Alex

[CentOS] System Hang on busy NFS server

2013-08-23 Thread James A. Peltier
On a busy NFS server I've started receiving the following error messages and 
the system hangs with high load but no work being done.  The system is a Dell 
R510 with 12 x 3TB drives in a RAID-50 configuration.  The RAID-50 device is a 
full disk LVM (no partitions) and one large (36TB) data volume and the system 
is running CentOS 6.4 fully patched for OS and firmware.

Anyone have any hints as to what might be causing this.  It looks to me like 
the system is starting to swap and then failing and then XFS starts to throw a 
hissy fit because it can't start allocating pages for it's buffers.  Eventually 
then the system just deadlocks.  I'm just looking for someone to confirm my 
findings and let me know if this is a bug or not.

I've posted the dmesg output onto pastebin http://pastebin.com/YQbhsN6a

Any help is very much appreciated!

 This error shows up every time I run fsck.ext4 on this partition.

 How can I fix this? The file system seems to work ok otherwise, I can
 mount it and it doesn't complain, using it looks like it's ok, etc.

Re: [CentOS] LVM RAID0 and SSD discards/TRIM

2013-08-23 Thread Joakim Ziegler
Yes, I read that, I was wondering if anyone had actual experience.

Lacking that, I tried to just set it up. So far, it seems like it's 
working, mkfs.ext4 did discards on format, and I can mount with the 
discard option. I'm currently running some batches on it to see if 
speeds keeps up, but it's looking good.
