[CentOS] disable auto-negotiation gigabit ethernet

2012-03-20 Thread sebastian
I can not disable the auto-negotiation (eth1) on my centos 6.2 via 
ethtool or /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

the eth1 is a private network on a cheap gigabit-switch (under controll 
from a serverhoster). sometime the ethernet-card lost the "speed" and 
"duplex" information and change it to "unknown". i can only fix this 
with a network-restart (or ifup/ifdown).
now i will disable the autonegotiation - but i does not work.

thanks sebastian

Thanks, but is a remote-server, the server is in another datacenter. I 
can not change or check the cables/switch - and the stuff in the 
datacenter is not very usefull. I'm hoping to solve the problem with 
disable the auto-negotiation.

[CentOS] lib-problem

2012-03-26 Thread sebastian
I have a CentOS 6.2 Desktop-Version (my Laptop). I have install remmina 
via rpm and want now install a plugin (rpd).

I have download the pluging from:
http://pkgs.org/centos-6-rhel-6/russian-fedora-free-i386/remmina-plugins-rdp-0.9.2-5.el6.R.i686.rpm.html

But now my system is missing 3 libraries. The freerdp.i686, 
freerdp-devel.i686, freerdp-libs.i686 and freerdp-plugins.i686 from epel 
are allready installed.

rpm -ihv remmina-plugins-rdp-0.9.2-5.el6.R.i686.rpm

Where I could get this libraries for CentOS 6.2.

yes, of course, the hardware is defective. I was confused because I've 
only works something like this more often, and otherwise a resync works.

I have create a l2tp-vpn server on centos 6.3 like this how-to:
http://www.maxwhale.com/how-to-install-l2tp-vpn-on-centos/

The vpn-connection works with an Mac-client and an Iphone too.

I thinks thats a very simple config and exactly is the right to begin. 
My problem is now the client-configuration for an centos 6.3 (no GUI) 
--- client setup. How it works? xl2tpd as client?
I have no solution approach

[CentOS] device in use after a reboot

2013-05-17 Thread sebastian
Hello,

I have a server with an 17tb scsi-storage. In past, the storage has a 
"jfs"-filesystem. Now i want to create a "ext4"-filesystem. I have 
update the e2fsprogs from 1.41 to 1.42 (16tb limit >1.41).

Now I have an 17tb-storage as /dev/sda1 with ext4. I can mount this 
device as /home/ (/etc/fstab "/dev/sda1/home/ext4 defaults   1 
2". Now I start a e2fschk /dev/sda1 (umounted). No error-messages are in 
the screen.

If I now reboot the server, the server does not started:

<---//
Checking filesystems
/dev/md2: clean, .
/dev/md0: clean, .
/dev/sda1 is in use.
e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting.


*** An error occurred during the file system check.
*** Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot
*** when you leave the shell.
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D to continue):
//--->


I think thats can be a problem with the e2fsprogs 1.42, now i reinstall 
the server with the default e2fsprogs 1.41 from CentOS 6.4 and create 
only a 16tb /dev/sda1 partition with ext4. But if i start a "e2fschk 
/dev/sda1" and reboot the server, i have the same message in the 
boot-screen and the server does not boot.

Why the system thinks that the device still be in use? How can i change 
this?

yes it does - take a look at the centos announce mailinglist and see 
that the last update for centos 7 was pushed out on feb 25

you might want to have a look at the archives...

[CentOS] DMAR Problem since 6.5

2013-12-07 Thread Sebastian Marten
Hello List,

I updated my server to CentOS 6.5. When i boot the system with the new
kernel: 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 I get repeating the following message:

dmar: DRHD: handling fault status reg 3
dmar: DMAR:[DMA Read] Request device [00:02.0] fault addr 1fc0
DMAR:[fault reason 06] PTE Read access is not set

I use a Intel Core i5-3550 CPU  with vt-d enabled to use a DVB-S Card
inside a Windows VM (kvm).

With the old 6.4 Kernel all works (2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.x86_64)

lscpi shows this:
[...]
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd
Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
[...]

Is this a problem with the intel driver or anything else?

[CentOS] Samba problems on 5.1

2007-12-13 Thread Sebastian Marten
Hi list,
Since I've upgraded from Version 5.0 to 5.1 i have strange problems with
samba.
Since 5.1 the connection from a XP client to the samba server disconnect
often, especially then i write a file to the share after some idle time.

Some informations of my config.

The Box is a Samba PDC for a little Windows Domain with a ldap backed.
I used this config on Centos 4.x and 5.0 without problems.

For 5.1 i installed a new server and copied the config 1:1 to the new
hardware.
Since then i have this problems.

go to the mysql site and grab the binary distribution

the right way would be rolling your own rpm, in your own repository.
name the rpms something liky mysql41 and make sure that the rpm provides
"mysql" and all the other things that the original mysql package from
centos provides.

Yes.

Are you running all of the gss services?
Is portmap running?
Did you uncomment the SECURE_NFS="yes" in /etc/sysconfig/nfs?
Was your kerberos principal created with:
"addprinc -randkey -e des-cbc-md5:normal nfs/server.domain.com"
Was your keytab entry created with:
"ktadd -e des-cbc-md5:normal nfs/server.domain.com"
Do you have gss/krb5p just before the nfs options in parentheses?



I've done all this + add princs for the host. (tested with ds and 
ds.example.lan)


I get this error:
ds rpc.svcgssd[4686]: ERROR: GSS-API: error in gss_acquire_cred(): 
Unspecified GSS failure.  Minor code may provide more information - No

But: kadmin.local listprincs return:

The hostname is ds.example.lan

kinit and klist works

There is my problem?

Yes, NFS4 works with Kerberos on Centos5.
But the kernel only supports  es-cbc-crc:normal, so when you add the key
for NFS to the keytab, use: 
ktadd -e des-cbc-crc:normal -k /tmp/keytab nfs/myclient.mydomain

Re: [CentOS] Getting info on hardware RAID

2007-08-27 Thread Sebastian Walter

Hi,

one solution which works for sure is to reboot your server, and then 
soon after the Dell logo disappears, a message is shown from the PERC 
(that's how the dell raids are called I think), where you can press 
-a or something like this. Then you are in the raid management 
tool where you get all the detailed infos about your disks as well as 
raid configurations.


Only if rebooting is an option for you, of course.

Sebastian

Re: [CentOS] OT: 4 dual cores agains 2 quad cores

2007-09-01 Thread Sebastian Walter

Hi,

performance measurement is always strongly dependent on the kind of 
computation you are performing. So to really find out, you need to do 
benchmarks with the programs you want to run.


If the price is not important, I would buy four quad cores with each 
3GHz per server.

Hi people,
Do you have pointers to web documents that help me make comparisons
between buying a server with two quad core 2.33 ghz or buying a 4 dual
core 2ghz server?
I am trying to answer a question of performance. It is not important
the redundancy/failover or the price of the server. Just the
performance.
obviously all the hardware specs are the same, the question is the CPU.

Try it. Most probably the system will tell you that the disk is in use.
What you could do then is booting from a live CD and resize it from
there (System will be offline, of course).

although not the freshest, this site always turned out to be helpful
getting infos for SATA "raid" cards (the "fake check"):

http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html

In the according document,

http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sas.html

nothing is stated about a fake SAS card (but indeed about linux
compatibility). Maybe in this league, cheating customers is not so
common. Does anybody know a SAS/SCSI raid card which does hidden
software raid instead of hardware?

Sebastian

First we should clearly distinguish between SAS and SATA raid cards ;)

As far as I see, the Adaptex AAC-RAID card is a SATA card, while
Adaptec's SAS cards are called AIC, ASC/ASR or ASR (please correct me if
I'm wrong! Accept my apologies in advance if I am). According to the
link posted earlier (http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html), your
Adaptec card is real hardware (I would also agree on your definition of
fakeraid as being dependent on drivers, but these could also be set up
in BIOS!). Many other (expecially cheap) Adaptec cards are fake raid cards.

Thanks for pointing this out.

See a comment about this here:

http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html#ibm

It seems IBM uses Adaptec controllers. Some of IBMs are also Intel
IHC-oriented and therefore fakeraids. They are called "HostRAID".

You can see the chunk size either in the raid's BIOS tool (Alt-3 at
startup) or, if installed, in the 3dm CLI (defaults to 64k, I think).
