If you're in the /etc/sudoers file...
$ sudo yum clean all
$ sudo rpm --rebuilddb

otherwise, try
$ su -c yum clean all
$ su -c rpm --rebuilddb

NB there are 2 dashes in front of rebuilddb.

[CentOS] Problem running yum update command

2014-04-05 Thread H
I am running CentOS 6.5 in a VZ container and today when I wanted to run 
yum update command I receive the following error messages:

rpmdb: unable to join the environment
error: db3 error(11) from dbenv->open: Resource temporarily unavailable
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Resource temporarily 
unavailable (11)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
CRITICAL:yum.main:

Googling the message I find several-year old posts where it seems that 
the database has been corrupted (or similar.) Has anyone else seen this 
recently and is there a recommended fix?

Thank you.

Hey cool, thanks, using the kernel-ml actually works and gives me a 
usable ethx device!
Ok, proves the concept, but is using a kernel-ml recommended for a 
production centos6 system?
Or should I rather get a different USB 3.0 NIC that actually works with 
centos6 ? Which one? (Has to be a Gigabit USB NIC)
Kind regards
Michael

I hear that this works pretty well on any drive that is not physically dead.

   EGO II,  If it turns out to be a bad harddrive, it could still be 
under warranty with WD.

Is it actually the drive making the click sound?  If so, it sounds like
a bad drive.  You can throw the drive at the WD drive tester and see
what it reports--it won't necessarily find every physical problem, but
it usually finds the most egregious ones.  (Unfortunately the WD tester
is a DOS program, so you can't run it under CentOS.  You can download
the Ultimate Boot CD, which has a large collection of these programs,
including drive testers for Seagate, Hitachi, and other drive vendors.)

Try to get some SMART data out of it if you can:

# yum install smartmontools

# smartctl -a /dev/sdX

Drive sounds dead. You could try and pull it out of the enclosure to
rule that out but sound's like you're making a trip to Fry's.

I just checked the device ID pair [0df6:0072] against the current
CentOS-6 kernel but it returned nothing. However, I did find the
driver in ELRepo's kernel-ml:

alias usb:v0DF6p0072d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* ax88179_178a

It shows that the driver that supports your device is ax88179_178a . I
suggest you try installing kernel-ml [1] and see if your NIC works. If
that works well, you'd want to ask ELRepo if backporting the driver
for EL-6 is possible.

[CentOS] USB 3.0 NIC / Sitecom NL-031

2014-04-05 Thread Michael Kress
Hi, I have a Sitecom NL-031 USB 3.0 NIC which I'd like to use under 
centos 6.5, but unfortunately I see no support. Or, I am doing something 
wrong.

According to LKDDb (Linux Kernel Driver DataBase), the correct driver is
"CONFIG_USB_NET_AX8817X: ASIX AX88xxx Based USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapters"
but obviously, I've grabbed a non matching "iProduct", because mine is 
obviously 0x0072 (see lsusb below) and the driver lists 0x0056.

 From the LKDDb:
vendor: 0df6 ("Sitecom Europe B.V."), product: 0056 ("LN-031 10/100/1000 
Ethernet Adapter")
vendor: 0df6 ("Sitecom Europe B.V."), product: 0056 ("LN-031 10/100/1000 
Ethernet Adapter")

When i modprobe for the NIC, I get something very unspectacular ...
root@mybox:/root [0] >modprobe asix

/var/log/messages:
Apr  5 20:02:23 mybox kernel: usbcore: registered new interface driver asix

dmesg:
usbcore: registered new interface driver asix

BTW, I got this passed on by ESXi to a CentOS VM.

Do you see any chance to get this running?
Thanks in advance
Michael
