[CentOS-virt] overlay image on centos 6 do not work
Hello, I have some problems with overlay images on a host running centos 6.0 * I have 2 physical hosts, one running centos 5.5, the other running centos 6.0 * I created a virtual linux host with a raw file image centos6.img I can start this vm on both machines. * then I created an overlay of the file image with qemu-img create -b centos6.img -f qcow2 centos6.ovl when I start the VM from the ovelay on the centos6 machine I get: --- Booting from Hard Disk... Boot failed: not a bootable disk No bootable device --- When booting from the raw-image and adding the overlay as second disk I see the following: == cut here == fdisk -l Disk /dev/vda: 8598 MB, 8598323200 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1045 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000bb12f Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/vda1 * 11046 8395776 83 Linux Disk /dev/vdb: 0 MB, 262144 bytes 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 0 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x Disk /dev/vdb doesn't contain a valid partition table == cut here == As one can see, the overlay image does not have any partition table. Starting the vm with exactly these images (per nfs-mount) on the centos-5.5 host works properly. Is my problem an known bug or is it an old feature that has been removed?

Re: [CentOS-virt] kvm-qemu: unable to execute QEMU command savevm (monitor missing?)
Hey Trey, just a quick update.

Unfortunately I haven't found a solution either, but here's an interesting bug report that shows this effects all the way up to Fedora 15, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727709. The one fix mentioned 89241fe0, I've actually patched into the CentOS libvirt RPM, but from testing it doesn't seem to be enough. I now can run the snapshot-create command without error, but nothing appears to happen. I've tested creating files, taking a snapshot, deleting files and reverting and nothing comes back or changes. Also the qcow2 images don't change at all during this time either. I'm working on applying the other commits mentioned in Comment #4, but am running into problems since most of those commits are 0.9.0+ and I'm patching CentOS's 0.8.1. I'd love to know if anyone actually has snapshots working in CentOS 5 or 6.

[CentOS] CentOS 6: Increase shared memory limits permanently
Hello again, on CentOS 6 / 64 bit what is please the best way to permanently increase the shared memory? I'd like to give shared_buffers = 4096MB to PostgreSQL 8.4 on my machine with 16 GB RAM, but I currently only have: # sysctl -A|grep shm kernel.shmmax = 33554432 kernel.shmall = 2097152 kernel.shmmni = 4096 and this produces the error in /var/lib/pgsql/pgstartup.log: FATAL: could not create shared memory segment: Invalid argument DETAIL: Failed system call was shmget(key=5432001, size=4399202304, 03600). HINT: This error usually means that PostgreSQL's request for a shared memory segment exceeded your kernel's SHMMAX parameter. You can either reduce the request size or reconfigure the kernel with larger SHMMAX. To reduce the request size (currently 4399202304 bytes), reduce PostgreSQL's shared_buffers parameter (currently 524288) and/or its max_connections parameter (currently 103). If the request size is already small, it's possible that it is less than your kernel's SHMMIN parameter, in which case raising the request size or reconfiguring SHMMIN is called for. The PostgreSQL documentation contains more information about shared memory configuration. And I wonder if I should set shmmax or shmall and also if these 2 limits are total for all machine processes or per process? (i.e. should I allow a bit more for processes besides PostgreSQL)?

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 6: Increase shared memory limits permanently
* shmall is total for all processes (in pages) * shmmax is the maximum size of single contiguous shared memory segment (in bytes) Both should be tuned to be large enough (obviously shmmax should be able to fit into shmall) If the memory is locked you may need to tune /etc/security/limits.conf too. Another setting which affects shared memory are huge pages (I don't know if PostgreSQL could utilize that feature) On Tue, Oct 4, 2011 at 18:53, John R Pierce pie...@hogranch.com wrote: On 10/04/11 8:45 AM, Alexander Farber wrote: on CentOS 6 / 64 bit what is please the best way to permanently increase the shared memory? /etc/sysctl.conf -- john r pierceN 37, W 122 santa cruz ca mid-left coast ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 6: Increase shared memory limits permanently
Seems OK for PostgreSQL. You should also take into account the requirements of the other applications on that server too (if any). Actually it's 5 000 000 000 2097152 * 4096 == 8 589 934 592. Which is OK. You can use ipcs monitor the allocated shared memory segments and their actual size. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/kernel-resources.html http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Oracle_Tuning_Guide/(This is for Oracle but its memory tuning is quite similar and you may find some useful information in this guide).

In CentOS 5 you would create a script in /etc/init.d and start the service from there.

I'll try your suggestion later though with my development VM. Could the reason also be that I've started with a minimalistic CentOS 6 installation and was missing the cyrus-sasl-plain and cyrus-sasl-md5 packages? I personally have found postfix much easier to deal with in all phases, especially with details such as sasl and ldap. I think your issue was not understanding what the certificates are, how they are created, how they interact, etc. and thus your issue really isn't going to be solved with either postfix or sendmail but rather certificates in general. If you are going to have self-signed certificates, you need a mechanism to: 1 - create a CA (Certificate Authority) and generate a private key and a CA Certificate. This private key would be needed to sign certificate requests. 2 - generate a signing request for various services such as an SMTP server - this should include a directive to output the key into a separate file. This key is NOT the CA key. 3 - sign the request which generates a PEM encoded certificate and thus you should end up with 3 files useful for your SMTP server: - ca certificate - smtp certificate - smtp key (for the certificate) This methodology counts on various SMTP servers to not verify the client certificate your SMTP server presents (ie, Google in your case if I recall correctly) which is generally the case. I have implemented a reasonably feature complete set of scripts to be my own CA with 4 distinct certificate types (1 for HTTP server, 1 for IMAP servers, 1 for SMTP servers and 1 for LDAP servers) and a reasonably feature complete set of scripts for an LDAP server (master), LDAP server (slave aka replicant) and LDAP clients and at some point, I will try to figure out a way to pass this info on to others but I suspect that it will take a long time to document because I would suspect that the target audience isn't fully up to speed. I don't think either of the 2 cyrus-sasl packages you mentioned are required to send e-mail via tls to Google's SMTP server but I haven't installed RHEL or CentOS 6 so I wouldn't know but those are very small packages and won't hurt to install... I think they are both geared to your server authenticating users but I am not sure. Craig ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
