[CentOS] MegaRAID Storage Manager on CentOS 5.5?
Does anyone have the 'MegaRAID Storage Manager' GUI working on CentOS 5.5? I can run it, but it won't let me log in.

[CentOS] logwatch question
Hello A few weeks ago I started having problems with my system email or specifically my logwatch reports showing up in my inbox. I got most of those issues figued out except one now when i get an email from my system it has a title of this Cron run-parts /etc/cron.daily with this message /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch: Recipient names must be specified I have my aliases set right and have been googling for an answer and just cant seem to find anything pointing me in the right direction. But this has been going on for awhile now and i would like to get my normal reports back that i used to get. I have never had to do much else except set my aliases file up correctly and i just always got the daily reports. I am probably missing something amazingly simple but i just cant seem to find it any ideas, thanks.

[CentOS] how to get ASUS USB-N13 802.11n net adapter working on 5.5?
first, the short form of the question -- has anyone got that wireless adapter working on centos 5.5 and associated with an access point that uses WPA/WPA2 security? and the details. in a classroom where there is *no* wired networking at all, all PCs have only that wireless net adapter, which works fine on windows but, after installing centos 5.5, unsurprisingly, we have no networking. there is no backup wired network, and no other adapters. there is a CD that came with the adapters, with a Linux directory, so it was easy enough to dump that onto my personal centos 5.5 box, and run "make" which generated the loadable "rt3070sta.ko" module. and, yes, that module loads. so far, so good. however, that still doesn't do it as based on what i've read online), because the access point here uses WPA/WPA2, i need to use wpa_supplicant to be able to configure the wireless interface for that. and that's about when i got kicked out of the classroom as they were closing for the evening. thoughts? any advice humongously appreciated. rday -- Robert P.

True, traditionally fdisk has made the first partition start on sector 63 (sectors 0-62 holds MBR and maybe grub secondary loader) as that is what DOS did. Sector 63 is 1 sector before the 16th 4k block, thus every read and write will straddle two blocks, sequential IO will suffer since it will have to seek back one for each step forward (if the block isn't in cache), and each write will incur a read. This can be avoided by manually creating your partition at a given offset and/or manipulating your LVM metadata size so the first extent starts at the proper offset. Sector 2048 (1MB) was chosen because not only is it on a 4k boundary, but it is also aligned with most RAID chunk sizes, and thus won't straddle two RAID chunks which incurs another penalty. Windows 2008 and later default to sector 2048 and if you can control the partition offset it's recommended to do the same. Having said that I don't believe the OP's problem is completely due to misalignment, but a combo of that and hardware problems. -Ross ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] RAID rebuild time and disk utilization....
The samsung model is not a 4K sector drive, although I did tear it down and made the partition changes moving it to start at sector 64 vs 63 and also tried at 2048when all was said and done, no change in performance. One final step that I did make was to move the drive to a different port along with changing the cable, I moved to the port that the other drive was on and working fineafter doing that it appears the problem follows the drive...I am thinking of swapping out the drive and then going from there On Tue, Sep 28, 2010 at 9:10 AM, Ross Walker wrote: > On Sep 28, 2010, at 12:40 AM, John R Pierce wrote: > > > On 09/27/10 7:49 PM, Tom Bishop wrote: > >> How do I figure out if it's a 4k sector drive, I've read about that > >> but never looked into it...is there any way to tell, and when you mean > >> start my partition, I only have one large partition, since this is > >> just for my data filesso you mean I should start on 2048 and go up > >> from there???

If you know how to reinstall the multi-boot setup, you should be able to use clonezilla-live to clone specific partitions and either reinstall others or use a file oriented copy technique.

Hi , You can use this: kill -9 `netstat -antp|grep 8080|grep java|awk '{ print $7 }'|cut -d'/' -f 1` But if had to do the same thing I would search in the running processes instead using netstat, anyway you can extract the pid in the same way.

The following is from memory as the unit in question is not physically on, and not remotely reachable at the moment [As a bit of background, I was tempted by the price of an 'e-machine' box, while travelling and a laptop died while on the road -- the darn thing takes non-CentOS 'wl' Broadcom wireless drivers, and the 'atl1c' wired network driver, of which I solved one manually, and the other one with a package from El Repo /me waves to that fine effort ] It turns out not to be a 'dark art' to get wireless networking on the darn thing after all, but it was not trivial, either. I reading man pages, tailing logs, stracing stuff, and so forth. Most of the effort ended up in getting the configuration correct in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf AND having to add a custom add on initscript, and did edits in /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant to get the whole shebang working properly and hands off Quick answer is that a script to this effect ran at step S98, and basically: stopped networking stopped a running wpa_supplicant rpmmod'd an instance of my locally compiled wireless driver module re-loaded said custom wireless driver module # [ at this point the driver REALLY loaded ] [re]started the wpa_supplicant [re]started the networking and dhcp, and the wireless supplicant basically did a: iwlist eth0 scan ... which then walked the enumeration of ESSID's and looked for a match in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf Once found, wpa_supplicant hands along the required credential, and 'magic happens' I assume there are various GUI goop tools to this effect, but I am not much of a GUI person ;) I'll try to remember to write this up more formally.

However, (ta da!!!) I have a page on setting it up--mostly written for Fedora users who were getting bitten by NetworkManager, but it goes through testing and setting wpa_supplicant. http://home.roadrunner.com/~computertaijutsu/wireless.html It's not exactly a step by step, and was made for a different purpose, but see if it works for you. (If the wpa.conf test file that I mention works, then just copy it over to replace the /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf) I have another page, that also covers it, as well as having a link to a more in depth tutorial--again, it was for a specific Fedora issue, but does go through (in the link to Mike's tutorial) a more detailed write up of setting up wpa_supplicant.conf. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Spike: A, my head.

It involves a bit of manual work which all depends on how seamless you want failover. Which I assume is your problem so far. Client mount options play a more significant role in this setup. The drbd part is trivially provided by the included scripts. It will promote/demote from sec to pri as needed. The NFS part involves some work. http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/doc/nfscookbook.pdf If I can offer a small suggestion, if you're on CentOS, use the boxed RHCS, its very good to understate it. Drop pacemaker, but that's my $0.02 CAN:) It's as simple as yum install with some cluster.conf tweaking and voila to setup a cluster. If you don't care about the locks/states being available on the secondary when it gets promoted (I assume you're not using a cluster FS and running pri/pri) then it's easy. When I was learning RHCS I recall symlinking the appropriate dirs on the replicated block device. HTH, jlc ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Centos-ds directory console problem
I installed centos-ds on a 5.5 installation, following the instructions to a tee, however now when I log onto the Directory Console I only get the Servers and Applications and Users and Groups tabs - no Configuration or Tasks tabs. Initially I was using the wrong password for the Directory Manager user, but when I put in the correct password it just sat there saying "Authenticating Directory Manager..." (something like that). So I followed the instructions to change the password, but now it just does the same thing as before - lets me in, but with no Configuration or Tasks tabs. Obviously I'm being logged in as just an admin user as I can add users, groups and ou's to the tree. Any help on this would be most appreciated.

Yes, thanks for all your help. I have decided to use clonezilla, as I discovered on further reading about Acronis WD version that "clone" for them means "clone a whole disk"; and I couldn't find any firm statement that this operation actually left anything on the source disk. (They use the term "transfer" throughout.)
