[CentOS-docs] Notes on HowTos/Custom Kernel
Hello, Today I built a custom kernel in CentOS 5 following the instructions on this page: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel It's excellent, but I have some remarks I would add: 1. %define buildid .your_identifier In the commented line, there is a space after the % sign. You have to manually remove this space. I think someone was bit by this a short while ago. I think making this explicit on the Wiki would help, since it's not something obvious that is trivial to see and it leads to problems long after that. 2. Section Configuring your kernel You actually only have to do the instructions in that section if you want to reconfigure the kernel, but it's not explicitly said so anywhere. For instance, in my case, I only wanted to add a new patch, so I could use the default configuration (at least I believe I could), so there was no need to copy the configurations there, then running make menuconfig, then copying the configurations back, etc. I think this could be made explicit too. 3. How to build based on the CentOS Plus kernel? In my case, I actually wanted to build a custom kernel based on the CentOS Plus kernel, because I wanted XFS support. I just wanted to apply a small patch that adds hardware support for a specific adapter. I could follow the instructions to create a kernel based on the CentOS Plus sources, but many parts of it were not in the CentOS Plus specfile. For example, with_debug is already set to 0. The block that starts with #if a rhel kernel, apply the rhel config options is not present either, I believe it was already stripped when the CentOS Plus kernel was initially built. I also used Patch40:, since the latest patch in the CentOS Plus kernel is Patch9:, so to be safe I included it later. 4. echo %_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild .rpmmacros in I need the Kernel Source This is a really small one, but the command above will expand $HOME when you actually run the echo, I believe what you wanted was the command with single quotes, since that will expand the echo every time the rpm command is run. Otherwise, if you wanted to put the actual home directory there, you could have just used echo %_topdir $HOME/rpmbuild since that would have the same effect without using a shell escape from RPM. Well, as I said, the document is excellent in itself, these are very minor items that I believe could be improved. I volunteer to change the documents to reflect these, in that case, I only need write permission to the Wiki pages. My wiki username is FilipeBrandenburger. Thanks!

[CentOS] setting timezone from kickstart
Hi all, I used to do manual installs so I would set the timezone each time. I have now migrated to kickstart and I wish to use a command line (at boot) parameter to set the needed timezone. I am familiar with timeconfig and that works. I tried timeconfig --help (looking for command line arguments) and there appears to not be a command line way that I see to set the timezone. I have seen mention of changing symbolic links and stuff - but I was hoping for a system command to change the timezone. Like timeconfig --zone Denver or timeconfig --zone Mountain something like that. Is there something like that or do I have to use the symbolic links? Thanks, Jerry ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Questions on custom LiveCD
I tried making my own LiveCD according to the instructions on the project site. First, applause, the basic procedure works like a charm. It's really easy to do and works right from the beginning (I'm building it inside a VM). I tried the minimal and the desktop version (with a few changes). I have encountered a few problems and have some questions. The German keyboard I set in the kickstart file was setup correctly for text mode, but not for graphical mode. I can change it from within the account, so everything that needs to be there seems to be there. Do others have the same problem? The graphical mode just displays a blank screen on my laptop (contains some S3 UniChrome chip). Is this an expected problem? It's not a big problem that the X server doesn't run on that laptop, but I wonder if it's possible to use a more generic driver that would at least display in lower resolution or so? (as I don't know if the machine where the CD might get used also has an unsupported chipset.) The goal is to create a CD that provides a browser and a LAMP web application, so that a few people that don't have access to the net in their office can use/test a database project. So, going on, I would like to add the code and database to the CD, so that the user can open Firefox and use the application from the local webserver. I see that the structure of the CD is an ext3fs.img with the root filesystem in a squashfs.img in the iso file. If I change the content of the ext3fs.img can I put it back on the rw mounted squashfs.img and that in the iso? If yes, I assume I would need to cater for a necessary resize of the images. If no or if there is a better way, how?

There are many ways to do this depending on the type of program executed by the cron job (e.g. shell script, perl, python, or compiled program).

[CentOS] iSCSI ini and ESX Server
I always used IET on CentOS but I have a quick server to setup to backup some VM's, then migrate to DAS on another server and the easiest way for me will be to accomplish this via iSCSI vmfs stores.

Should it be trivial or are there any non standard configs that need to be used? Are you talking about using CentOS as an iSCSI server and having ESX talk to it via iSCSI client? Or are you talking about running CentOS inside ESX and using an iSCSI client from within the guest VM?

But how is it to be tested? here is the info ( nj.pem contains the Certificate and the Private Key ) $ openssl verify nj.pem nj.pem: /C=US/postalCode=9/ST=OH/L=Columbus/streetAddress=4111 Ave./O=XYZ Inc./OU=Secure Link SSL Pro/CN=xyz.foo.com error 20 at 0 depth lookup:unable to get local issuer certificate $ openssl x509 -noout -in nj.pem -issuer issuer= /C=US/O=Network Solutions L.L.C./CN=Network Solutions Certificate Authority So if append the correct CA certs to my nj.pem, then 'openssl verify' should be happy, is this correct? thanks! ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] Re: question about software Raid 1
Kay Diederichs wrote: Fact is that with CentOS-5 kernels (but not with CentOS-4, as this functionality became available in kernel 2.6.17) you could (or rather _should_ regularly) echo check /sys/block/mdX/md/sync_action to check agreement between the two (or more) copies. When this finishes, /sys/block/mdX/md/mismatch_cnt shows you the number of mismatches. You can fix these with echo repair /sys/block/mdX/md/sync_action This applies to at least RAID1 and RAID5. At this point the question arises: how does the repair job know which copy is the correct one? I have no answer to this question. Thanks for posting this. I have a machine that periodically had filesystem errors on a RAID1 volume that I eventually found were caused by bad RAM but even after replacing it I'd still see filesystem problems reappear every few weeks. It turned out that there were quite a few mismatched blocks between the mirrors and the fsck passes must have sometimes seen the good copy but subsequently the still-bad alternate would be used. Now I've done a repair and fsck and so far everything seems stable. It's hard to tell with problems that only happen once or twice a month, though. I suppose I have some files with corrupt contents on there but they are backups that will expire as more current ones are saved anyway. BTW, there is - even with current kernels - no speed gain in using RAID1 - see http://kernelnewbies.org/KernelProjects/Raid1ReadBalancing . I don't think I believe that - you can see the reads alternating drives by watching the lights. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

First, the '\' characters are unnecessary and confusing, except the
one that precedes the semi-colon.
Second, that won't work. Sed does not perform on files in place - its
output is sent to stdout unless it is redirected, and you can't
redirect it back to the original file. To do something this way,
you'd need a script that replaced the input file and used 'sed' to

The Bank's logo and any lines on the form print OK but the actual content is distorted beyond recognition - printing a series of special characters (!$%#'() instead of transaction descriptions or amounts. Has anyone else experienced this or have a suggestion on how to fix the problem. I have a similr issue with a Centos 4 system at work, on which i've installed FF3. My solution is to send my printouts to a different printer where they print perfectly! I've got an old HP Laserjet 4 at my desk, and that browser on that OS prints mostly junk characters on that printer. There's also a HP 4250 outside my door, and that browser/OS combination prints fine on that printer. There seems to be a known issue with Firefox 3 on all platforms, when printing to Postscript printers. I started a thread about it on the Mozilla support forums, did some experimenting, thought I'd fixed it, found I hadn't and in fact, have never resolved it. Things you might try: * Turning off Allow pages to choose their own fonts * Changing the default character encoding from Western (ISO-8859-1) to something else (and possibly back again) * Disabling the use of the printer's fonts in your driver It's been a show-stopper for me, and I'm thinking about going back to FF2.

First, the '\' characters are unnecessary and confusing, except the

Second, that won't work. Sed does not perform on files in place - its
output is sent to stdout unless it is redirected, and you can't
redirect it back to the original file. To do something this way,
you'd need a script that replaced the input file and used 'sed' to
