Or consider putting "* * * * * /sbin/ifup eth2" in root's crontab. If eth2 is up, it simply rereads the configs (which haven't changed).

It's great the the Supermicro controllers can do this, but I know from experience that in the general case with multiple controllers and on CentOS 6 this will not work.

'replace the drives with > the red blinking lights' is much simpler than 'figure out what > /dev/sdac is on server 12' This is what I love about real RAID controllers or real storage array systems, like NetApp, EMC, and others. Not only does the faulted drive light up amber, but the shelf/DAE also lights up amber. I told an EMC VP a week or so ago that 'anybody can throw a bunch of drives together, but that's not what really makes an array work.' The software that alerts you and does the automatic hotsparing (even across RAID groups (using EMC terminology)) is where the real value is. A bunch of big drives all lopped together can be a pain to troubleshoot indeed. I've done arrays with a bunch of COTS drives; and I've done EMC. Capex is easier to justify than opex in a grant-funded situation, and that's why in 2007 we bought our first EMC Clariions (44TB worth, not a lot by today's standards), since the grant would fund the capex but not the opex, and I've not regretted it once since. One of those Clariion CX3-10c's has been continuously available since placed into service in 2007, even through OS (EMC FLARE) upgrades/updates and a couple of drive faults. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Merging os and updates
I've been able to successfully kickstart CentOS 3.9 from the base repo, but no such luck after merging os and updates. I think I did everything right - updated base/comps.xml and regenerated hdlist/hdlist2. Updated the yum repo as well although I'm pretty sure it's not used by anaconda. This is difficult to debug. The setup is running under kvm on a CentOS 6.4 host, and for some reason, a completely headless install fails (--graphics none; virt-viewer complains loudly and dies). A graphical install with vnc looks quite different from newer OSes' ks installs, there is no VC showing package install progress or an interactive shell. I.e. I cannot tell what exactly fails. Yes, there is a specific legacy reason for using 3.9 here. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

You should not have removed the i686 packages. The packaging system ensures that there are no conflicts. I suggest that you reinstall them. It may be that there is no need of them, but second-guessing the packaging system is never a good idea, unless you know *exactly* what you are doing.

[CentOS] Problem getting mysqldump on Centos 5.x server
Hello all, I have a dedicated hosting account that I am closing down but I am having problems getting an access denied error when I run the mysqldump command from the ssh prompt, logged in as root. So, the hosting provider, who saw the same error, reported, " Hence, we would suggest you directly FTP the database from server to your machine by using ssh client." I am not sure what that means. Unless it means going into the /home/msyql directory and then into the corresponding directory for the particular db that I am trying to get. This is for a joomla installation. So, there are files that include db.opt and then jos_banner.frm, jos_banner.MYD, jos_banner.MYI, and etc. So, do I download all those files? I am wanting to move the site to another server which is a VPS hosting account that also runs Centos 5.x.

As for getting the mysql dump itself, if he's not sure what privileges are set up, I'd probably skip resetting permissions and instead taking the dump from a daemon running under --skip-grant-tables.

The only thing I would say is if getting the dump under --skip-grant-tables you need to make absolutely sure external access to the database is blocked as the daemon will presumably be running a lot longer in --skip-grant-tables to complete a dump than it would be just to reset a password. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Clint, Thanks for the tip. The server is running but I noticed when I was inside a mysql session, I was getting messages that the mysql went away and then came back. Anyway, I updated the password and now I have 'Got error 28 from storage engine' when trying to dump tablespaces mysqldump: couldn't execute 'show fields from `jos_banner`': Got error 28 from storage engine (1030) So, it might be getting stuck on the first table.

I'm a bit confused here. If I get a tarball and compress that, then is that for download and moving to the other server? Is this just in case the mysqldump does not work at all. > > As for getting the mysql dump itself, if he's not sure what privileges > are set up, I'd probably skip resetting permissions and instead taking > the dump from a daemon running under --skip-grant-tables. So, I start mysql-server with the option --skip-grant-tables and then try to do the mysqldump? > > It all depends on how much time he has before the system becomes > unavailable to him. > > In my previous email, I point out that the error now is different. It is error 28 from the storage engine. So, I have to google that and see what that means.
