[CentOS] Table *** is marked as crashed and should be repaired
Hi, I've started migrating my sites to mariadb which is supposed to be a drop-in replacement of mysql. Both run on the same C6 box. DB folders were moved to a new location after both DB servers were stopped and properly upgraded. There were no reboots or power failures. Nevertheless I see these error messages in the logs: # cat /var/opt/rh/rh-mariadb102/log/mariadb/mariadb.log ... 2020-11-29 16:38:23 139882501732320 [Note] /opt/rh/rh-mariadb102/root/usr/libexec/mysqld: ready for connections.

When most of us had storage on rotational storage, the fastest, lowest latency access was close to the physical center of the disc, which corresponds to the start of the disk. You’d want swap to be highly responsive in case it was used for active processes. Now, SSDs don’t have the same physical characteristics, so it doesn’t matter. Also, cloud storage and virtual machines don’t even have real hardware. The partitioning is handled by different code starting in el7, and this seems to be the logic built in. I feel like it was written to assume that root and swap are on LVM. When it comes to resizing file systems, it might make sense to put the root ext4 at the end of the disk, so it is actually counterproductive to put swap at the end. -- Jonathan Billings ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Upgrade OpenSSH version to the latest stable version on CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core).
Hi, I am running CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core).
