Indeed. I wonder whether there exists some difference between CentOS
kernel and genral kernel from www.kernel.org?
If so, maybe I should download the CentOS kernel source code and patch
it to run PF_RING.

Any help?

My machine used to be installed PF_RING is exactly DELL PowerEdge 1950,
with 8-core CPUs and 4G RAM, 80G disk.  I don't think it is out of date.

[CentOS] PF_RING crashed the CentOS5 - BUG: soft lockup - CPU#7

[Ian jonhson]

Hi all,

The PF_RING seems not to work smoothly in CentOS 5.
Several day before, I patched the kernel 2.6.25.3 and
installed the PF_RING-patched kernel in my CentOS5.
Based on the PF_RING, I developed my program to capture
the network packages. I wished it can work until the
machine power is off. Unforturnately, no matter how to
adjust my program, whole system can not run more than
48 hours. Finally, whole system crashed and syslogd said
it found the following kernel output.

I have contacted CentOS people, but they said they had not
met the same problem in their operating system before.

I googled the internet and found similar bug occurred in Ubuntu
on the same hardware platform: Dell poweredge. However, the
fixing has to patch current kernel source code.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/linux/+bug/214814

Also, I don't know what kernel they used. I downloaded the kernel
source codes from www.kernel.org and patched it with PF_RING. Then,
I setup the pathed kernel to run CentOS 5.

I would like to know whether I can avoid the bug if I used the
original CentOS kernel code, not the one from www.kernel.org.

Are there anyone who meet the similar trouble?

Thanks a lot.

[CentOS] Cyrus + Ldap...

[Sergio Belkin]

Hi,

I have a server running with Centos 5.1  and:

Cyrus: Lan POP and IMAP server  both with SSL and plain and login mechanisms

LDAP with SSL + SASL

User passwords in LDAP are encrypted.

Everything works fine. But I'd want to reduce overhead due SSL and
change to Cyrus with md5 mechanism (or another nonplain mechanism) Can
I do that? Please bear in mind, that I don't want to use
non-encrypyted passwords on LDAP.

Thanks in advance!

If the purpose of the encrypted bootloader was to load an encrypted
filesystem/s, then there must be a spare MBR on your drive somewhere.
Its not standard to have more than one MBR, but my spidey sense is
tingling and telling me any half-decent software encryption software
wouldnt rely on a single fragile point of failure such as an mbr which
is easily overwritten by viruses and installations.

Providing you are still on the net, send an email to one of your tech
guys asking for either the location of the spare MBR, or if there isnt
one, a new MBR to replace yours - they should have a copy of your
original.
Alternatively, if you know the name of the software package doing all
this, you may be able to find (if you have a spare MBR) out on the net.
FWIW, I wouldnt bother any PHB's with this - they will definitely not be
amused.

Re: [CentOS] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 61s!

[Ian jonhson]

google said that is a bug of kernel in network driver.

And, someone seems to present a patch to fix the bug, however
I would like to know whether it can work from others' works becuause
reinstalling a new kernel may let us cost a lot.

No, why would I do that?

I uninstalled nspluginwrapper and mplayerplug-in reinstalled the
64-bit Seamonkey, then reinstalled all the plugins.  Everything is
installed and working EXCEPT nppdf.so (the Adobe Read plugin) and
Adobe's flash plugin - they're all in the right places, there are
nswrappers for 32_64 and 64_64 for both of them in the plugin-wrapper
directory, but they neither register nor work in the browser.

I have run mozilla-plugin-config several times, and it lists both of
these plugins, but they don't show up in the About Plugins and they
don't work.

What next?

I'd probably remove everything older than 2.6.9-67   your grub currently

pssst.  he said ENCRYPTED boot loader.this is probably involved with

It's Dell SAS 6iR and HP "8 Port HBA Host Controller" (as they call it). 
Both are LSI 1068-based, not sure if exactly the same chip.

Yes. XP. But with the corp encrypted bootloader

No install CD. Well I do have an XP install CD here. Also Ghost 9.0

Nope, I don't believe there is a backup of the mbr anywhere - that it 
the partition table that has two copies.

Kind of figured that. Where I missed the beat was at the bootloader 
install. I was NOT paying attention.


And I am off to Europe with no helpdesk contact info. And I only get to 
my office (I am in Detroit, my office outside of Harrisburg PA) once a 
quarter. So I am trying to contact a colleague in the local office to 
get me the tech support guy. He straighted out the boot loader on this 
box once when the auto encypt install failed

Shouldn't there be another "layer" ?

Is this a real hardware raid controller?

I do not remember the specifics, yet when we did this on HP proliant boxes
with hardware raid, we had to play with the config files and setup for the
raid *drivers* so to speak

On old boxes with raid5 we would be monitoring something like

/dev/ida/c0d0

And on newer boxes with raid1 or raid5 we would be monitoring something like

/dev/cciss/c0d0

meeting.  I have to get this working on my own.


I hope there is another copy of the old boot loader somewhere on that 
system and some way to copy it?



Nope

whose bootloader was it? 


Microsoft? You can re-install by booting installation CD and going to
recovery console and running 'fixmbr'
  

Yes.  XP.  But with the corp encrypted bootloader

No install CD.  Well I do have an XP install CD here.  Also Ghost 9.0 
that has some sort of bootloader fixer?


I seem to recall that there are two copies of either the bootloader or 
partition table, one as a backup?  But which is it?

[CentOS] Now you did it Olly

[Robert Moskowitz]

Oh, Boy.  I am in trouble now

I just installed Centos on a USB drive on my corp notebook.  To not 
TOUCH my corp drive.


I spent time with the drive partitioner to make sure that nothing was 
done to the internal hard drive...


Well I missed something and I overwrote the encrypted bootloader on the 
hard drive.


Now what?  Can I rescue things?

I am leaving for my flight in a couple hours to Dublin for IETF 
meeting.  I have to get this working on my own.


I hope there is another copy of the old boot loader somewhere on that 
system and some way to copy it?

Re: [CentOS] smartd on RAID controllers?

/dev/sda is the virtual disk as it appears to CentOS as I can access

with hdparm.
Do I need to use another device for the RAID array (which?) or is it
impossible to smart monitor "thru" a RAID controller?




What controller would that be?

This depends on the raid controller. 3ware and a few others will pass
info, though you have to tell smart about them in the config. Many
hardware raid controllers will not pass smart info, as it's not just
one drive you're watching, and the vendor has their own solution for
that.

[CentOS] smartd on RAID controllers?

[Kai Schaetzl]

It seems I can't smarm monitor disks on RAID controllers? I tried on 
several machines with two different controllers and on all I get this when 
starting up smartd:

Jul 27 14:36:43 c1 smartd[5944]: Opened configuration file 
/etc/smartd.conf
Jul 27 14:36:43 c1 smartd[5944]: Configuration file /etc/smartd.conf 
parsed.
Jul 27 14:36:43 c1 smartd[5944]: Device: /dev/sda, opened
Jul 27 14:36:43 c1 smartd[5944]: Device: /dev/sda, Bad IEC (SMART) mode 
page, err=4, skip device
Jul 27 14:36:43 c1 smartd[5944]: Unable to register SCSI device /dev/sda 
at line 32 of file /etc/smartd.conf
Jul 27 14:36:43 c1 smartd[5944]: Device /dev/sda not available

/dev/sda is the virtual disk as it appears to CentOS as I can access it 
with hdparm.
Do I need to use another device for the RAID array (which?) or is it 
impossible to smart monitor "thru" a RAID controller?

List,

I have an 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5xen X86_64 machine that is failing to update
perl.  I did not see any bugs reported on the list and was wondering if
anyone else had the same problem with a solution.

Thanks,

Greg Ennis

looks like you have both perl i386 and x86_64 installed ... do you need 
both?


If so, make sure extras is also enabled.




Just saw the same issue here:

Removing perl.i386 fixed it.
