Re: [CentOS-es] Error con libsqlite3.so.0
Ya quedo ... hice los siguiente .. Primeramente me enviaron buscar el apquete rpm2cpio .. bueno el sistema ya lo traía instalado pero no me funcionaba, asi que busque el código perl de este. Lo pueden ver en este enlace, fue el que use: http://linuxmafia.com/pub/linux/utilities-general/rpm2cpio A continuación .. lo natural darle os permisos: chmod +x rpm2cpio.pl un aves hecho esto cree los directorio de instalación para ver que fichero utiliza tal paquete y ver cual me faltaba. Con anterioridad ya había bajado el paquete sqlite. Se hizo de la siguiente forma: # ./rpm2cpio.pl sqlite-3.3.13-1.9.el5.al.i386.rpm | cpio -iduv CPIO archive found! ./usr/bin/sqlite3 ./usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.0 ./usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.0.8.6 ./usr/share/doc/sqlite-3.3.13 ./usr/share/doc/sqlite-3.3.13/README ./usr/share/man/man1/sqlite3.1.gz 2606 blocks Ya con esto tuve la estructura de donde estaban los paquetes que necesitaba y si me faltaba alguno. checando en mi sistema localice lo siguiente: ls usr/lib/ libsqlite3.so.0 libsqlite3.so.0.8.6 Pero al parecer el enlce o el paquete se daño, asi que los ficheros descompactados con el rpm2cpio los use en mi sistema como si fueran una instalacion normal, realice los siguiente: elimine los que tenia en mi sistema: # rm /usr/lib/libsqlite3.so* rm: ¿borrar el enlace simbólico «/usr/lib/libsqlite3.so»? (s/n) s rm: ¿borrar el fichero regular «/usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.0.8.6»?

If you open these two links in a browser window... http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/4/updates/i386/RPMS/ http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/4/updates/s390/RPMS/ and compare the available rpms, the s390 version of samba is 3.0.25b, while the i386 version of samba is only 3.0.10. 2) On a related note, why does it appear that a recent security update was not applied to the CentOS 4 i386 architecture version of samba? If you look at the top two patches listed on the Samba homepage here: http://us3.samba.org/samba/history/security.html You will see that they should apply to all versions of samba from 3.0.0 to 3.0.26a. So that would include the i386 CentOS 4 version of samba because it's 3.0.10. I am on the CentOS Announcements mailing list, and I still have not seen an announcement that this has been fixed in the i386 CentOS 4 version of samba. I have seen announcements for CentOS 3 i386, CentOS 3 x86_64, and even CentOS 4 s390. But not for CentOS 4 i386. What gives? Thanks, - Bit I think this is part of 4.6, coming to mirrors near you maybe this week. Correct ... CentOS-4.6 will be released soon, then they will be in sync again. There are different maintainers for different arches and different approaches. But I am the i386/x86_64 maintainer ... and 4.6 will be released as a whole and not in pieces. That is because in the past, certain security upgrades caused bugs when built against a newer package set but released on the older tree. We can not afford for things not to work together so will these two arches (which make up 90% of CentOS users) as upstream did ... with all of the bugfixes, security updates, enhancements together. That is just how they are built and the only way everything is known to coexist. We just released 5.1 and we have to give our mirror infrastructure time to peak and go back down before we can release 4.6, since we do not have unlimited mirror resources like the upstream guys.

Earlier today we found an issue with the CentOS-5.1 x86_64 CD iso set,
distributed via direct download, wherein CD-2 was not passing tests, to
rectify the issue we have refreshed the images on all mirrors. The
changes have now propagated through the mirror network.
md5sum and sha1sum's published have also been updated to reflect this
change.
x86_64 CD isos distributed via bittorrent are not affected by this issue.
x86_64 DVD isos distributed via bittorrent and direct downloads are not
affected by this issue
None of the i386 iso images are affected by this issue.
The correct MD5's for x86_64 CD ISOS are :

Before CentOS 5 x86, I was using Scientific Linux 4 and they were keeping 4.x trees (e.g. 4.0, 4.1 etc) and for having an upgrade to the latest tree automatically, we were using a plug in or something (installed as an rpm). Those without that rpm were kept to their release (tree) and were getting only the updates for their release (4.0, 4.1 and so on). At the same time, I remember (either saw at the CentOS site, or someone mentioned it in the SL mailing list), that CentOS was keeping up only with the latest release (tree) of Red Hat EL4.

You need to set up DNS so that the dynamic IP address assigned internally resolves to a hostname that your system likes. It may be sufficient to do this in the /etc/hosts file.

[CentOS] Filesystem that doesn't store duplicate data
Is there such a filesystem available? It seems like it wouldn't be too hard to implement... Basically do things on a block by block basis. Store md5 of a block in the table, and when writing a new block, check if the md5 already exists and then point the new block to the old block. Since md5 is not guaranteed unique, might need to do a diff between the 2 blocks and if the blocks are indeed different, handle it somehow. When modifying an existing block that has multiple pointers, copy the block and modify the new block. I know I'm oversimplifying things a lot, but something like this could work, no? Would be a great filesystem to store backups on, or things like vmware volumes...

Re: [CentOS] Filesystem that doesn't store duplicate data
NetApp's WAFL with A-SIS (advanced single instance storage) does this. From a quick google: http://searchstorage.techtarget.com/originalContent/ 0,289142,sid5_gci1255018,00.html says: ... calculates a 16-bit checksum for each block of data it stores. For data deduplication, the hashes are pulled into a database and redundancy candidates that look similar are identified. Those blocks are then compared bit by bit, and if they are identical, the new block is discarded. The pre-sales engineer I spoke to regarding this said that it's not done on demand but rather by a periodic background process. It's pitched for backup and archiving functions. If you have NetApp kit it can apply this to any of your data on the Filer, be it via CIFS, NFS, FC or iSCSI. While this isn't available on Linux it proves that there is market demand for it, that it can be done and probably also appears to some kernel hackers as a challenge... cheers Luke On 06/12/2007, at 1:33 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there such a filesystem available?

For data deduplication, the hashes are pulled into a database and redundancy candidates that look similar are identified. Those blocks are then compared bit by bit, and if they are identical, the new block is discarded. The pre-sales engineer I spoke to regarding this said that it's not done on demand but rather by a periodic background process. It's pitched for backup and archiving functions. If you have NetApp kit it can apply this to any of your data on the Filer, be it via CIFS, NFS, FC or iSCSI. While this isn't available on Linux it proves that there is market demand for it, that it can be done and probably also appears to some kernel hackers as a challenge... cheers Luke Yea, I originally got the idea from the NetApp marketing materials.

Imagine a hardware optimized data de-duplication disk controller, similar to raid XOR optimized cpus. Now that would be cool. All it would need to store was meta-data when it had already seen the exact same block. I think fundamentally it is similar in result to on the fly disk compression. Actually, the impact - if the filesystem is designed correctly - shouldn't be that horrible. After all, Sun has managed to integrate checksums into ZFS and still get great performance. In addition, ZFS doesn't directly overwrite data but uses a new datablock each time... What you would have to do then is keep a lookup table with the checksums to find possible matches quickly. Then when you find one, do another compare to be 100% sure you didn't have a collision on your checksums. If that works, then you can reference that datablock. It is still a lot of work, but as sun showed, on the fly compares and checksums are doable without too much of a hit. Peter. I'm not very knowledgeable on how filesystems work. Is there a primer I can brush up on somewhere? I'm thinking about implementing a proof of concept using Java and Fuse. How about a FUSE file system (userland, ie NTFS 3G) that layers on top of any file system that supports hard links, intercepts the FS API and stores all files in a hidden directory and names them after their MD5 hash and hard links to the file name in the user directory stucture. When the # of links drops to 1 then the hash is removed, when new files are copied in if the hash collides with an existing one the data is discarded and only a hard link is made. Of course it will be a little more involved then this, but the idea is to keep it really simple so it's less likely to break. -Ross __ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.

Walker Sent: December 5, 2007 15:49 Google 'sdparam' Thanks. While that seems to be on the right track it does not appear to dump/display the bad block table. I think most drives hide that info, although the manufacturers probably have diagnostics that can get to it. While that may be the case with IDE/SATA drives it should not be the case with SCSI (not sure about SAS). The reporting should be pretty standard for all SCSI drives. I think you are looking for something similar to what you you did with the old MFM drives when you entered the bad block table in at format time. No, I am definitely thinking SCSI. I would like to get at the same information that SCO OSR5 would report with the badtrk utility. Smart utilities usually can only tell you how many spares are used and how many are left, or just if there are more bad sectors than the drive had spares for. For SCSI this table should be available for display. According to the SCO OSR5 badtrk man page: Bad tracks/blocks listed in the table are ``aliased'' to good tracks/blocks; when a process tries to read or write a track/block listed in the bad track/block table, it is replaced by one of the alias tracks/blocks. The bad track/block table and alias tracks/blocks are stored in the disk partition, after the division table and before division 0. Now that I have reread that several times it is starting to sound more like this functionality may have been implemented a the OS level and not in the drive as I had previously thought. I will have to go back and find our for sure. You know it amazing sometimes how you can have a wrong perception in your head for years and never have it challenged or have cause to question it. When I say years I mean many years. I have had 20+ years of using UNIX systems and this is the first time that I have ever had cause to question this. Just goes to show you live and learn! Once that happens, it is time to go drive shopping, and do a full backup (backup first I would say). Agreed. In my case all drives are mirrored (most H/W mirroring on MegaRAID controllers and some S/W RAID on Adaptec controllers) so that is usually not a problem for me. The MegaRAID controllers are really spoiling me. If a drive fails I just pull the bad drive, pop in a new drive and the controller takes care of the rest. You hardly even notice any degradation while the new mirror is constructed. The modern controllers shouldn't have bad blocks mapped to usable sectors unless the drive is heading to the great e-waste box in the sky. Again I was not thinking of the controller (or HBA) I was thinking of the drive itself. Anyway thanks for all your comments. I found what I think your looking for, sg3_utils, it's in extras I believe. Part of that set is sginfo and that command takes a -G parameter which will show the grown defect list if the device supports it. Neither my SATA nor SAS disks here support it so I wasn't able to get anything useful out of it. -Ross __ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
