Re: [CentOS-virt] i386 VM on x86_64 host in Xen

Christopher,

- Christopher G. Stach II [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 It would really suck to have 3795 virtual machines die all at the
 same time from a single kernel panic.

Yes, absolutely it would.  I use the OpenVZ kernels that are based on the RHEL4 
and RHEL5 kernels and I haven't had any problems with them... just like I 
haven't had any problems with the stock RHEL4 and RHEL5 kernels... nor CentOS 
kernels.

I usually end up rebooting host node machines because of kernel upgrades... so 
my machines don't get a chance to have longish uptimes... but on one remote 
colocation machine I have for hobby stuff... it currently has an uptime of 106 
days.  It has 7 VPSes on it and they are fairly fat as they all run a full set 
of services.  I know I've been running that machine for close to 2 years now... 
and if I remember correctly it started out with CentOS 4.0.  I've upgraded to 
each release (on the host node and the VPSes) and am currently at CentOS 4.5.  
I look foward forward to 4.6.

Here's what they look like (ip addresses and hostnames obscured):

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# vzlist
  VEID  NPROC   STATUS IP_ADDR HOSTNAME
   101 53runningxx.xx.xx.xxvps101.localdomain
   102 44runningxx.xx.xx.xxvps102.localdomain
   103 44runningxx.xx.xx.xxvps103.localdomain
   104 32runningxx.xx.xx.xxvps104.localdomain
   105322   runningxx.xx.xx.xxvps105.localdomain
   106 32runningxx.xx.xx.xxvps106.localdomain
   107 29runningxx.xx.xx.xxvps107.localdomain

Looking at the number of processes, can you tell which VPS is running Zimbra? :)

6 of the 7 VPSes are CentOS and the remaining 1 is Debian.

Speaking of uptimes, I have a legacy machine at work running Linux-VServer on 
a 2.4.x series kernel.  It had the longest uptime of any machine I've had... 
and was well over 400 days... when a power outage that outlasted its UPS took 
it down.  That particular machine runs three VPSes that are mail 
relay/frontends and they get pounded... so that uptime is notable.

So, my experience has been that physical failures and power failures (although 
pretty rare) are more common that kernel panics that take down all of my 
virtual machines.

TYL,

 or a small number of services... although the vast majority if my

Yes. It's good not to underestimate OS-level virtualization. Many people
used chroot to isolate certain processes. OS-level virtualization
provides better isolation and control, at only little extra cost.

Operating systems that provide binary compatibility for other systems
(like the BSDs or Solaris) can also use OS-level virtualization to
emulate a complete enviroment that resembles the emulated system.

The downside of most (if not virtually all) current OS-level
virtualization on Linux is that they do not have proper support for
SELinux. I suppose that things get more interesting in that respect when
container features are integrated in the mainline kernel.

2. edita el archivo /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/postfix.spec
cambia esta linea
%define MYSQL 0 -- %define MYSQL 1

3. compila
# cd /usr/src/redhat/

4 en el directorio RPMS tendras las versiones listas para instalarlas
con soporte a MySQL

[CentOS] Help with UML editor?

2007-12-11 Thread Scott Ehrlich
A colleague, using CentOS 5 64-bit, installed by me, asked me for the following 
assistance:


The site I was trying to get to was http://www.eclipsedownload.com/. I 
downloaded the EclipseUML free version, but it's obviously not giving me the 
information I need.  I have Java packages in Eclipse that I would like to 
display in a class diagram to show how they relate to one another. 
Theoretically, we have/had licenses for the Omondo tool.  I believe the studio 
edition will do what I need.  If we have no licenses, I can download the tool I 
used previously (http://www.soyatec.com/main.php), but that may have been the 
cause of my Eclipse crashing.  Then again, it crashes once a day or so now, so 
I don't know if the Soyatec's eUML2 tool will make it any worse.


If you find another tool I can use or test, please let me know.  I could use it 
as soon as possible.



Thanks for any assistance.

[CentOS] After 5.1 update $releasever is still 5

2007-12-11 Thread Robert Moskowitz
I have performed the 5.1 update via the 5 repo on a couple of systems.  
I then went to switch these systems to my new local repo using ther 
$releasever variable.  It still has the value of 5, not 5.1


Where is this set?  Why was it not changed to 5.1?

On the one clean install from the 5.1 isos, $releasever is at 5.1   I think.

Re: [CentOS] building a Xen guest image on straight LVM partitions?

2007-12-11 Thread Ross S. W. Walker

Amos,

The quickest way to deploy a Xen VM requires a little more prep work...

Use the regular (long) method as discussed. Most use an HVM to do the install 
but config it as a domU afterward as most installers only work reliably in a 
fully virtualized environment.

Create an LVM based guest for each distribution/OS you plan to use. Then for 
each Xen guest you want to create take an LVM snapshot of the distribution/OS 
of choice and use that for the guest.

This way guest deployment is very quick and disk space is conserved wisely. You 
can start with 1 or 2 GB snapshot and as space gets tight in the snapshot add 
more storage.

Re: [CentOS] unstable kernel after update to CentOS 4.5

2007-12-11 Thread Alfred von Campe

Kai:


I checked the filesystem in the evening and it's clean. I really doubt
there's anything with the disk.


That's what I thought too.  I had the same error you had, and  
initially the disk seemed to be OK.  It would run for weeks before  
the error showed up again.  But after I replaced the disk, the  
problem never occurred again.  The next time I got this error (on a  
different system), the drive also seemed fine otherwise.  I've  
learned my lesson.  When I see this error I just replace the disk.


If you have a spare disk, I would give it a try.  If your errors do  
not go away, then you can suspect something in the CentOS 4.5  
update.  But that update has been out for a while and I suspect it's  
running on thousands of systems without this problem.

(http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2492), but it's certainly a

  1. Anaconda doesn't think the package sysreport exists

  2. yum thinks it exists:
# yum list sysreport
Loading installonlyn plugin
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Available Packages
sysreport.noarch 1.4.3-13.el5  base

  3. But installing with yum fails:
# yum install sysreport
Loading installonlyn plugin
Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Parsing package install arguments
Package sos - 1.7-9.1.el5.noarch already installed and  
latest version

Nothing to do

  4. The sysreport file from the sos package fails to run:
# sysreport
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File /usr/sbin/sysreport, line 31, in ?
import sos.policyredhat
ImportError: No module named sos.policyredhat

  5. But if you extract /usr/sbin/sysreport from the sysreport  
package using

 rpm2cpio for instance, it works just fine.

So it would be nice if yum would allow installing the sysreport  
package (see step 3 above) as that would appear to solve all the  
problems.

[CentOS] Clustering MySQL

2007-12-11 Thread Steve Campbell
I'm just beginning to consider using the Clustering available with 
CentOS. We are going to spec out some new hardware, and after reading 
most of the Clustering manuals, I have a small question about MySQL.


I would like to run High Availability MySQL, in other words, similar to 
how you can run  HA HTTPD and the like.  The catch seems to be if I run 
MySQL on an individual server, with common MySQL replication to another 
server, how do failovers work? I see a real problem with table locking 
and the like. Is there a way to run multiple MySQL servers that get 
removed from the cluster as opposed to failing over when using the newer 
MySQL versions (I am running 3.23 now, so a little behind)?


Thanks for any insights.

The gam_server in gamin-0.1.7-1.2.EL4 occasionally goes into an
infinite loop (googling indicates there have been problems with this
in gam_server for a long time, I see another attempt to fix ...
dating from 2004).  Does anyone know whether a newer version of gamin

either someone changed that manually, or you are wrong. Please confirm

There are a number of ways to do it.  We currently have 1 master mysql

from the replicas and writes go to the master database (all handled in
the code).  But I saw a presentation at the Boston MySQL Meetup.com

implement this in the next few weeks.  If it's done this way both
reads and writes to the db can be load balanced.  We use

balancing.

You might be able to contact the Meetup organizer, Sherri

If you run fdisk /dev/hdc, you can change the partition types.
At the fdisk prompt, a p will list the partition table.
From there you use t to change a partition type.
Ext2/3 partitions are type 83 and linux swap is type 82.
Make sure you only change the partitions that you wanted to be ext3, and not 
your windows partitions.
A w will write the new table and exit, and a q exits without writing if 
you make a mistake.

A m gives a list of choices (menu).

You will definitely need auto_increment_increment and  
auto_increment_offset and replicate-same-server-id set to 0.


FYI, I recently took a MySQL High Availability class, and multi-master  
is definitely not a standard configuration. It was only briefly  
touched on, and only one other person there had it running in  
production. But, while it's not officially supported they do their  
best to make it work.


Specifically, what makes you say it is a 5.1 only feature? What does  
5.1 give you that makes it easier than 5.0?

[CentOS] LOTD with CentOS 5

2007-12-11 Thread Michael A. Peters
Howdy folks -

I just moved my laptop from Fedora to CentOS. FC6 was running rather
sweet, then they decided to EOL it, and F8 - while it had some nice new
features, it was just way to quirky for me. I no longer enjoy
re-installing the OS quite so often, hence my move to CentOS.

So I installed CentOS 5 on my laptop, and built a bunch of packages,
making yet another repo for CentOS.

These are primarily straight rebuilds (in mock) of Fedora 8 source rpm's
- taking care to avoid anything that conflicts with or replaces CentOS
packages.

I know there are a dozen or so addon repos already - and if you are
happy with them, stick with them.

My goal was to stay as close to Fedora 8 packaging for these addon
packages as possible, benefiting from their packaging guidelines, and
also to not replace the stable very well tested CentOS packages.

[yjl-misc] does not replace any CentOS packages and has stuff from F8
everything like AbiWord, Gnumeric, Bluefish, BitTorrent, etc. as well as
some multimedia related libraries.

[yjl-livna] has rebuilds of stuff from rpm.livna.org - mostly multimedia
related, including xine and totem-xine. Depends on [yjl-misc].

[yjl-php] has php 5.2.5 and does replace the CentOS php, it should
probably only be used if something you are doing requires php 5.2.x.

Re: [CentOS] Clustering MySQL

2007-12-11 Thread J. Potter



 - master A is at position X
 - master B, replicating from A, gets to position X
 - master A syncs to its filesystem that it's at position X

 - master A receives some inserts, and is now at position Y
 - master B, replicating from A, gets to position Y
 - master A crashes before the position gets synced to filesystem
 - master A gets rebooted, recovers from innodb log, but has itself
only marked at position X
 - master B requests position Y from master A, but that position
doesn't exist yet, so replication breaks.

Perhaps someone here knows the proper recovery procedure at this  
point?


If this were master-slave, I'd probably do an LVM Snapshot and get a
fresh copy of the master db.  The same could be done for
master-master.


I'm not sure this would work, since some data will have been inserted  
in on master B as well. I.e., with master-master, a one-way sync won't  
work. The only recovery option that I can see is to destroy Master A,  
and copy Master B -- either via an LVM snapshot or shutdown, sync,  
startup -- to create a new Master A.  Maybe this is what you're  
suggesting?


Is there a better way?

The problem is you'll have some inconsistency between your master A's

the data on master B. It would be nice to be able to merge any changes  
from B that hadn't made their way to master A yet. At that point  
you're examining binlogs.

[CentOS] Problems configuring SAMBA share on remote machine

2007-12-11 Thread Andrew Allen
I'm having problems getting a SAMBA share on a remote (Windows XP)
machine to allow me write access to files. I can copy/paste whole files
OK from my CentOS 5 box, but can't do any editing of files on the
Windows XP machine, which I use as a file server for most of my domestic
data (historical reasons for using Windows!). I've tried re-setting
permissions to allow write access to the cifs-mounted folders/files, but
without success - any suggestions please?

Thanks,
Andy

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 5 sysreport

2007-12-11 Thread Alfred von Campe

Well, care to elaborate?


Well, sysreport has been deprecated by sos in 5.1 :)


Oh, that problem.  Yeah, well, sosreport has the same problem on my  
system: it doesn't work.  The reason is that /usr/sbin/sysreport is a  
symlink to /usr/sbin/sosreport:


  -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 28439 Nov 11 20:02 /usr/sbin/sosreport
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root19 Dec 11 15:24 /usr/sbin/sysreport - / 
usr/sbin/sosreport


I kickstarted the system again, this time without applying the 5.1  
updates, and the problem persists.  If I remove sos, download the  
sysreport RPM and install it, I can get sysreport to work (without  
the above warning).


Hold the presses.  I just figured out the problem.  I had another  
version of Python in the path ahead of /usr/bin/python.  I have  
everything working now.  Sorry for wasting your time on what turned  
out to be a local configuration issue.

There are (were) two different bugs that chewed up 100% CPU time. One was
constantly polling, the other was doing nothing. An updated gamin was
released in 4.6 to fix the constant polling problem. I'm not sure if the
other has been addressed yet or not. The bugzilla's are in Redhat's systemif

It is most likely permissions on the XP machine. Service pack 2 added some 
more restrictions to remote access, and it might be quite a bit of trial and 
error to get it working the way you want.
Maybe you might need to break from history and do things differently since 
some of the rules seem to have changed.

[CentOS] vsifax on Centos 5.1

2007-12-11 Thread Gregory P. Ennis
All

I am trying to install vsifax on a 64 bit Centos 5.1 system.  The Esker
staff have been helpful but no cigar.

At first they thought the problem might be related to a 64 bit machine
so I tried to install vsifax on a 32 bit Centos 5.1 machine and received
the same error.

One of their installation scripts is trying to execute a binary called
eula which fails.  

 ./eula: cannot execute binary file

The tech support of vsifax advised me they had one other customer use
Centos 4.5 and succeeded in a vsifax installation.  

I was hoping whoever had the other vsifax installation might be
listening to this list and could give me a hand.

Thanks much!!!

[CentOS] yum --security and staying with 5.0

2007-12-11 Thread Amos Shapira
Hello,

So I've watched a few threads about the new 5.0 vs. 5.1 upgrade and
have a couple of (hopefully) practical questions about this:

Context - I'd like to stick to 5.0 at least for a while until the dust
around 5.1 settles down (and I'm back from holidays).
As an example - In Debian, as long as I stick to stable I can be
sure that the only updates I receive there are for heavily tested very
important bugs and security issues, so I should generally apply them.

1. If I read the FAQ correctly, in order to force yum to stay with 5.0
should I just manually edit /etc/redhat-release from:

CentOS release 5 (Final)

to:

CentOS release 5.0 (Final)

(i.e. add .0 to the version)? If not then what should I do?

2. I am hoping that yum-security will allow me to stick to the latest
security updates for 5.0 without forcing me to upgrade to 5.1 until
the dust settles down. Am I correct that this is possible with
yum-security and the repositories provided by CentOS? Will yum update
--security update packages with later versions only if those versions
fix security issues? Are security updates maintained for 5.0? Here is
what I get right now on one of my systems (without doing the change I
asked about in (1)):

If I drop the --security flag I indeed get a list of196 packages to upgrade.

So to clarify my question - is my system secure (in terms of package
versions) by sticking to yum update --security?

Thanks,

we've had load of issues with mysql-5.0 recently ( i think were just
tryign to use mysql like too much of a real database, while we seem to
have clearly outgrown its capabilities :( )

issues like cascading deletes not working as yet in replicas, and quite
a few issues with stored proc's etc.

 Context - I'd like to stick to 5.0 at least for a while until the dust
 around 5.1 settles down (and I'm back from holidays).

ok, so what do you mean by sticking to 5.0 ? you mean you dont want any
updates at all for those machines, even if they might be security issues ?

 As an example - In Debian, as long as I stick to stable I can be
 sure that the only updates I receive there are for heavily tested very
 important bugs and security issues, so I should generally apply them.

CentOS does not follow the debian release model.

 1. If I read the FAQ correctly, in order to force yum to stay with 5.0
 should I just manually edit /etc/redhat-release from:
 
 CentOS release 5 (Final)
 to:
 CentOS release 5.0 (Final)

no, there is no such mention abut anything in the FAQ or anywhere else
that I can find. What made you believe that changing stuff in that text
file will change the repo's your machine is looking at ?

 2. I am hoping that yum-security will allow me to stick to the latest
 security updates for 5.0 without forcing me to upgrade to 5.1 until

read the release notes about yum-security

has a live lvm-snapshot ever worked for you as a real move-data-around
policy ? you would, at the very least, need to flush in memory data, and
have a system wide write lock in place while the snapshot is created.

its been a tempting idea, but so far of the few people I know having
tried this lvm snapshoting, have never actually managed to get it
working right for mysql dumps. So, would be good to hear from someone
who has it working.

 The problem is you'll have some inconsistency between your master A's
 view of the database and the master B's view. You lose any changes to
 the data on master B. It would be nice to be able to merge any changes
 from B that hadn't made their way to master A yet. At that point you're
 examining binlogs.

I wonder if someone has spent the time to write such a tool, that would
workout what this diff/delta was, and then be able to bring both
machines upto speed, so after a period of time ( hopefully short ), they
 would both be in the same state.

I had the same problem with a clean fresh install of CentOS 5.1, kernel 
2.6.18-53.1.4.el5


Installing the lm_sensors-2.10.5-52.el5.x86_64.rpm package from ATrpms 
fixed the problem.


Looks like it's a bug in 5.1, either in the kernel or in the lm_sensors 
packages.

Re: [CentOS] vsifax on Centos 5.1

Does eula stand for End User Licensing Agreement, perhaps?  Just a guess.
If it's a script why don't you just look in it (the calling script) and
see what it's doing?
Also, maybe the eula binary exists (did you look for it?) but is not
executable, which should be easy to fix.

[CentOS] Tons of SNMP ?errors? in /var/log/messages

2007-12-11 Thread Timothy Selivanow
I'm running up-to-date CentOS 5 w/ Xen.  I'm getting tons (tons = 13787
just yesterday, presumably because I have a monitoring system poll every
5 minutes) of log entries of the following:

netsnmp_assert index == tmp failed if-mib/data_access/interface.c:467
_access_interface_entry_save_name()

and

netsnmp_assert rc == 0 failed if-mib/ifTable/ifTable_data_access.c:209
_check_interface_entry_for_updates()


When I do an SNMPWalk, everything looks ok (now that IPv6 is back on) on
the host doing the walking, but on the other side it is spewing the
above messages.  I have not been able to find out anything about these.
I had IPv6 turned off (by the alias net-pf-10 off method), but in
troubleshooting these messages I turned it back on (because there were
other snmpd messages complaining about unable to find ipv6 entries).

Anyone have some knowledge about this?

  Please note: the version number listed in the rpm -qa is 2.3.0, but the
  version number listed in the yum update confirmation is 2.0.4.
 

 rpm -qa --queryformat %{epoch}:%{name}-%{release}-%{version}.%{arch}

 I bet they have an epoch of 0, but the 2.0.4 packages have an epoch of 1,
 which means they are newer, even though the version number is smaller.

They work like the 2.0 version from before, meaning the same bug I moved to
2.3 to avoid.

So, I guess I'll put in an exclude until something else changes.

Thanks.

 I was thinking that CentOS 5.1 has allready a kernel patched , but as it
 seems NOT. Or am i wrong?

If upstream has not patched it, CentOS would not have either.  It
appears from the Red Hat Bugzilla entry that this is a likely
candidate for inclusion in 5.2 (assuming the patch is accepted
upstream - kernel.org that is for Red Hat).  The bug is currently in
POST state, which means that the patch has been submitted upstream but
not yet included.

In the meantime, you're free to use the patch provided in the Bugzilla.

 has a live lvm-snapshot ever worked for you as a real move-data-around
 policy ? you would, at the very least, need to flush in memory data, and
 have a system wide write lock in place while the snapshot is created.

 its been a tempting idea, but so far of the few people I know having
 tried this lvm snapshoting, have never actually managed to get it
 working right for mysql dumps. So, would be good to hear from someone
 who has it working.

I didn't put all the details, we have a custom script that we run
which locks the tables, does a flush, starts a lvm snapshot.  We can
then copy the mysql data, when the copy is done we've got a script to
release the snapshot.

The thing you need to remember when you image the server is to make
sure you leave some unused diskspace on your partition.  So for
example if you have a 100GB drive, put it all into the pv and lv, but
only create a 80GB vg.  That gives you 20GB for the snapshot.  Of
course when calculating how much extra space you need, you need to
think about how fast your data grows and how much time you need to do
a copy of the data.  If your snapshot is too small and you outgrow the
snapshot before you've finished copying your data, then the snapshot
will expire.  Works great for us in our master - multiple slave
environment.  Some of our slaves even have slaves. :)

 hummm, there is a livecd for centos-5.0 and we are

My apologies. I took another look at my favorite
mirror and there is one:

http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.0/isos/i386/CentOS-5.0-i386-LiveCD.iso

An ISO like this can easily be converted from ISOLINUX
to SYSLINUX for booting on USB flash. To run any Linux
on USB flash stick with a LIVE version.

ok, so what do you mean by sticking to 5.0 ? you mean you dont want any
updates at all for those machines, even if they might be security issues ?



(I also replied to David's message)

No. I'm trying to understand where does 5.0 stand now that 5.1 is out
- should I abandon 5.0 and upgrade to 5.1 if I want to stick to
secure, stable releases or is 5.0 going to be maintained in parallel
to 5.0 for security issues?

From your response so far I suspect that it's the former (must upgrade to 5.1).

  

As an example - In Debian, as long as I stick to stable I can be
sure that the only updates I receive there are for heavily tested very
important bugs and security issues, so I should generally apply them.
  

CentOS does not follow the debian release model.



This idea is beginning to sink in :^).

I just though that RHEL/CentOS is all about providing rock-solid,
tested stable releases but there are some noises on the net that the
new release might be giving early adopters some rough time.

  

1. If I read the FAQ correctly, in order to force yum to stay with 5.0
should I just manually edit /etc/redhat-release from:

CentOS release 5 (Final)
to:
CentOS release 5.0 (Final)
  

no, there is no such mention abut anything in the FAQ or anywhere else
that I can find. What made you believe that changing stuff in that text
file will change the repo's your machine is looking at ?



It doesn't explicitly say so but as David pointed out,
http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/CentOS5#q8 talks about the content of this
file as a way to know where the system thinks it belongs to now.

I now noticed the last sentence saying you are in the update release
stream for the 5.1 series and you will not move to a newer release
without making changes to the yum config.. What kind of changes does
this refer to? Overriding the $releasever in the repository URL's to
hard-coded 5.0 or what?

Thanks,

Hi Amos

My understanding is that unless you choose not to update your system at 
all you can not freeze on a point release.  So install from any 5.* 
media and when you update you will go to the latest point release.


What I would suggest if you are really worried about this is to 
configure /etc/yum.conf with a keepcache higher than 1 so that if an 
update is done you can roll back the rpm


I hope this helps

Re: [CentOS] How to disable hal's polling of CD-ROM drive in CentOS 5.1?

 How can I disable this polling in CentOS 5.1?

Run lshal and look for the block.device value that matches your drive.
Then find the value of the info.udi key in the same block and replace it
into the attached file. Then drop the file in /etc/hal/fdi/information
and restart haldaemon.
