My brother, using a 32-bit system, has used Jason Litka's repo with
no problems.

I tried to use it on a 64-bit system which also had 32-bit packages
installed (see related recent thread), and ran into dependency problems,
because he hadn't put the 32-bit packages also into the 64-bit tree.

I didn't have time to pursue it, so I gave up for the time being.

Re: [CentOS] Server HD failed and I think I am hosed

2010-02-19 Thread Steve Brooks

Do not use fsck on faulty hardware.

I would remove the drive attach it to another linux box with free storage 
space on a file system larger than that of the whole damaged drive. Use 
"ddrescue" to rebuild as much of the failed drive as possible them mount 
the image produced from ddrescue and copy all you can from that.

Best Wishes,

Steve

Well, you can use dd_rescue to copy contents of disk to another disk
and then mount it
(or use expensive data rescue company)

Given the partition which is a physical volume can be enlarged because
there is free space directly after the end of the current partition, you
then can do following very easily:

1) fdisk /dev/
1a) delete the partition to enlarge
1b) re-create the partition from the same starting point to the new size
1c) save the changes

2) partprobe /dev/
   to let the kernel know about the change

3) pvresize /dev/
   increases the PV to maximum partition size (just as the manpage says)

4) pvdisplay /dev/
   should show you now free physical extends (vgdisplay as well)

5) lvresize -L +100%FREE /dev/mapper/
   expands the volume to use all free extends
   or split up the additional size to several volumes

6) resize2fs /dev/mapper/
   to let the filesystem know about the additional space

Alexander

First extend the physical media (resize the partition, LUN, whatever), then 
just pvresize the new partition

Use with care, test it a few times in a test box or VM, then try it in 
production, if you screw up you'll lose your data.

And I deal with hardware with drives, and memory, and the occasional m/b
failing at less than five years old. Depends on the manufacturer, the q/c
they had at the time it was manufactured, and the day of the week, as the

I think of mine about the same way as light bulbs.  They'll work for

NFSv4 support is already compiled into the CentOS kernel so no extra 
installation is necessary. To force NFSv4 on the server set the following 
options in /etc/sysconfig/nfs:

a) MOUNTD_NFS_V2="no"
b) MOUNTD_NFS_V3="no"
c) RPCNFSDARGS="-N 2 -N 3"

You have to take mission statements with a grain of salt.  There was a 
time when you would get java-1.6.0.openjdk from epel instead of the 
stock version - and things like that will probably happen again as the 
base repos decide to duplicate things that already exist in 3rd party 
locations.  They have a history of never making any effort to coordinate 
that process.

[CentOS] CentOS and Bash History

2010-02-19 Thread Robert Spangler
Hi,

I was wondering if bash or inputrc has changed form CentOS v4 to CentOS v5?  
Reason I ask is at the bash cli I can type, for example 'su' and then with 
the up and down arrows I can scroll through my history and will only see the 
commands that begin with 'su'.  In CentOS 5 this isn't the case.

I have added some code to my inputrc file to make this work in CentOS 4 as 
follows:

# Search History for previous used commands
"\M-[A":history-search-backward
"\M-[B":history-search-forward
"\M-[C":forward-char
"\M-[D":backward-char

And this works well in CentOS 4 but I cannot get it to work in CentOS 5.
Anyone know why or what I have to change?

Re: [CentOS] best practice: how to setup a central "network installation server"?

2010-02-19 Thread Ausmus, Matt
If you want to invest a little extra time you can install Spacewalk (the
open source version of Red Hat's Satellite) which has Cobbler built into
it plus it provides centralized management of your devices both for
monitoring services as well as being able to deploy config files,
updates , etc.  It provides a nice clean interface for Cobbler and it is
fully integrated into it.

Installing just Cobbler is definitely the quick way to get this going
but taking the time to deploy Spacewalk (especially if you manage lots
of servers) is worth the effort.  We've been running it for less than a
year and we're very happy with it.

Install cobbler, it makes building a netinstall server as easy as 1 2 3

cobbler handles pxe, dhcp, http repo setup, kickstart  and such. 

I've used it many times, it takes less than 15 minutes from "yum install
cobbler"  to the start of the network installs of the client machines.

Once you set it up, just power on the client machine and watch it
install automagically

[CentOS] Dependency problem with yum-utils when installing Cobbler on CentOS

2010-02-19 Thread Marcelo M. Garcia
Hi

I'm trying to set up a Cobbler server, and when I run "cobbler check", I 
got the following message:
The following potential problems were detected:
#0: yum-utils need to be at least version 1.1.17 for reposync -l, 
current version is 1.1.16
[r...@tannat ~]#

I'm using Cobbler 1.6.6-1, CentOS-5.4 (x86_64), and (as the message 
says), yum-utils 1.1.16.

Is there a way to fool "Cobbler check"?

I usually just hit ctl-R for the reverse-i-search function.  It's a

Does it give you a way to add additional things to boot?  That is, could 
you patch in the clonezilla boot that drbl has for the times you want 
image copies while still using its native facilities for Centos targets?

Will this work if any partitions on  are mounted?  When I have
run fdisk to modify a partition table, the kernel complains that it
can't reread the partition table if there are mounted filesystems on the
target disk.  If the root filesystem is on the target disk, a reboot
might be required.  (In the past, fdisk has alerted the kernel if
there's been a partition table change, so partprobe might not be
needed.)

And of course, have backups when messing with the partition table.  :)

It is usually up to the client what they want to download, how many 
times they do it (a user may have different clients and may reconfigure 
them to drop and re-add an account, etc.), and when they delete from the 
server.  I'd be surprised if any servers strictly limit repeat 
downloads.  On the other hand, any sensible mail client will track the 
messages it already has and not download them again.  If something is 
doing it repeatedly it is probably broken.

Here's one example: me. When I'm not at home, I read my email via webmail.
I could, I suppose, d/l it *without* deleting from the server. Then, when
I get home, I fire up t-bird, and d/l all my mail, this time deleting it.

I might assume that some folks d/l frequently, but do not delete from the
server, thus saving space on their own system, but storing everything on
the server.

What mail client are you using?

My people use Thunderbird, it keeps track of the emails that it has 
downloaded and doesn't download again...

I had this problems years ago with earlier versions, but only at random 
and on different clients and at different time, it was unrepeatable..

Most pop3 servers will start from the beginning of a mailbox;  if the
last download of mail was not completely successful (from start of
mailbox to end of mailbox), you get the situation you describe if I
understand your comments.

e.g., a customer on dialup that receives a 10 MB email message, can't
download it, and tries again.

It's possible that the client is having trouble downloading one particular 
message and that's causing it to repeat all the downloads (this used to 
happen a lot with pop-3 clients). Find and delete the offending message and 
the problem should be solved.

Are you talking about IMAP or POP3 - they behave differently. With POP 
each client location has to download and choose to keep original on 
server, otherwise only one client can see the email. With IMAP one has 
the option to see the headers and by default leaves the server as the 
master. This does put more traffic on an IMAP server as a rule, but I 
use IMAP in preference if possible so that I can access emails via my 
iPhone and my T-bird clients, but only deal with mail once.

I use a service from www.fusemail.com. It's worked quite nicely for my and our 
small company.  I've setup multiple email accounts and they all gel pulled 
into the same inbox at my fusemail account.  I've setup multiple folders and 
rules to segregate the various email accounts, mailing lists, etc.  I use an 
IMAP connection for my mail client, so any actions I take on the web interface 
(away from my laptop) such as deleting emails, creating new folders, etc are 
automatically reflected in my mail client (in my case Kmail) the next time I 
connect. Thus, if I delete messages from the web interface then my mail client 
never tries to download those same messages, and if my client has already 
pulled them then they simply disappear on the next check.

I've noticed some similar but not identical oddness. My most annoying

repeat/edit it, I get the command previous to the pasted command, as

I haven't seen that in CentOS 5.

On the other hand, the ->bug<- that drives me crazy in X is when I'm
writing something, like an email in t-bird, and the cursor shows at the
left of the window, but is actually somewhere else on the line, and even
locating the cursor using the mouse doesn't change this And yes, it's
*very* repeatable.

Thanx Dan,

I have done that, but it seems that either these settings don't work on
CentOS5.4, or I'm doing something wrong.

r...@mars:[~]$ mount.nfs4  master1.mydomain.co.za:/ /bck
mount.nfs4: Protocol not supported


I did some google search on this, and apparently I need to change some
settings in /etc/init.d/nfs on like 97, but my /etc/init.d/nfs looks
different from those in the search results. So, I guess the search results
are related to older versions?

Here's a snippet from a google search:

edit your "/etc/init.d/nfs" file as follows:

Comment out line 97 and add the following line (which removes the -N 4.1)


echo -n $"Starting NFS daemon: "
# For now, turn off the nfs41 support
#   daemon rpc.nfsd -N 4.1 $RPCNFSDARGS $RPCNFSDCOUNT
daemon rpc.nfsd $RPCNFSDARGS $RPCNFSDCOUNT


Then, restart your NFS server (service nfs restart)

It should then work (mine does)




This one site (
http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/linux/using-nfsv4.html) though had
a walkthrough, but I still don't get it to work.

Any suggestions?

I've never seen that - and it doesn't make much sense because the 
character-based shell should have no way of distinguishing between typed

That sounds like a bug in your video driver.  I never see that, but I'm 
almost always running via freenx and an NX client that is usually

Yes, if the client in question is using pop, switching to imap is 
probably a good idea.  There is an option in tbird (and probably others) 
for whether to download all the messages or wait till you read them.

I'd think it's the video driver - I've got an older nvidia card, here at
work, but I see it sometimes (I think) on my system at home, with a

Not sure which option it is, but you can try binding each entry until

Is the remote machine also CentOS 5?  NFS v4 is a relatively recent

Are both machines in the same NFSv4 domain? You need to define the

+1; the idmapdomains have to be the same and the users accessing the
nfs share have to be "known" on the server either in its /etc/passwd
or through nis-nisplus-ldap.

Also, an nfsv4 mount invocation is different from a previous nfs
version's mount invocation.

If you are exporting
/path/to/shareddir
from nfsserver, you have to mount
nfsserver:/ /path/to/mountpoint
on your client

You may have to export with
fsid=0
or
fsid=root
but it may be assumed if there isn't a directory exported at a higher
level, but I have not tested it is assumed without.

2010-02-19 Thread Hadi Motamedi

Dear All

I have put tcpdump trace on port 4957 on my CentOS server , as the following :

#tcpdump port 4957

I want to obtain the payload data to see what is realy being exchanged between 
my CentOS server and the outside network element . Can you please let me know 
how I can modify my command ?

Thank you

[CentOS] Limiting bandwidth

2010-02-19 Thread Rajagopal Swaminathan
Greetings,

Scenario:
Centos box with eth1 (10.0.0.0/24) and eth0 (192.168.0.0/24)
segment on eth0 has access to full bandwidth of uplink
Both are on 100mbps switches

Requirements:
bandwith on segment on eth1 needs to be throttled to different speeds - say
32, 64, 128kbps and the such. Required for application performance testing
purposes.

As usual my girlfriend google is very verbose. (Sometimes I feel there
should be utility like googlegrep or something :\ ) I am going through the
excellent documentation from:

http://linux-ip.net/articles/Traffic-Control-HOWTO
LARTC.org

Its all a bit too much for me to handle at this point in time and I am a bit
pressed for time.

Yes, havent worked much on tc / iproute2. In fact not much knowledge in
networks in general.

Any help appreciated.

TIA

Regards,

Rajagopal
