[CentOS] Centos 5.2 mysql build
Greetings, I wanted to enable blackhole and CSV engine in the mysql server so downloaded the SRPM from Centos Site, setup the rpmbuild envronment with mighty help from the our own Russ's Owlriver website and tried building it. I have a 5.2 centos box on which I need to enable this so took the 5.2 SRPM (mysql-5.0.45-7.el5.src.rpm) from vault.centos.org.(mysql The Build did not complete throwing errors during testing about unable to connect using ssl or something. I tried from 5.4 SRPM at least the build went thru. Was 5.0.45 srpm broken? or did I get it horribly wrong somewhere as it is my first attempt to build from srpm. Now I have a situation wherein the PHDs refuse to work with the Mysql 5.0.77 (y'know those typical silly scared rabbits who will never move from status quo no matter what) I fished around and found that there was a BIG thread on this issue. I understand it is a upstream issue. But in the EOD, I need a tested stuff not homegrown one (according to the PHDs and I am new in this job, never mind I will be completing 26 years in IT field on 3rd Feb...). Has anybody come across this error? if so how it was mitigated? The issue here is we need to show it working on centos and then when going live the production will be switched over to RHEL (Sorry Centos guys... That's the way this Indian (1/6th) part of the world goes about: kinda successful POC first and then I give hard cash).

FYI: I am not using a /boot partition, all of centos is in sdb5. I am using grub, but it is installed into a small ~ 10 Mb grub-only partition sdb9.

[CentOS] centos 5.2 install: mbr or no bootloader ?
I recently used a purchased centos 5.2 dvd to install. It all went smoothly, and I am up and running automagically it seems to have upgraded itself to 5.3 Final One peculiarity: I believe I was given the choice of: --installing the bootloader into mbr or --no bootloader install I did not want my mbr overwritten, so I chose no bootloader Why is there no choice of 1st sector of root partition? or did I just miss it? I wanted to chainload the centos install, but that requires grub installed into 1st sector of root partition. So after the os install I used knoppix livecd to grub root (hd1,4) # sdb5 is my centos partition setup (hd1,4) and centos now loads from a chainloader +1in my grub partition So I have fixed it; but curious as to why the install dvd didn't give me the choice there.

Its been my general experience that many KVM switches don't handle the VESA VDID stuff at all well, and whenever you reboot the system, you have to be sure to have the monitor selected to that system until its fully up, or the VGA BIOS and the system driver doesn't get the VDID monitor detection at all correct. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Centos 5.2 live cd won't boot
Hello All Anyone have a workaround for booting the 5.2 LiveCD? I'm getting this error: no root yet, udev rule will write symlink Then I drop to a shell, with a message to create a symlink to /dev/root and then exit the shell. There is also a message that it cannot find the root filesystem. Is there a way to disable udev with grub?

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 5.2 and SATA HotSwap
Hi, On Wed, Feb 18, 2009 at 10:57, Julio Rodanes - KNET ju...@knet.es wrote: I have read that the AHCI module allows hotplug but when I add a hot new SATA disk, the system don't detects it . Any idea of what the problem is? Even though it's hotplug, you have to give Linux a command so that it will scan the bus and add the disks to its internal tables. To do that, first you have to identify which SCSI host it will be your SATA controller, you can see a list of the ones you have with this command: ls /sys/class/scsi_host/ To identify which one is your SATA, look in /proc/scsi/scsi, for instance, if it's scsi4 there, it will be host4 in /sys. You can also look at dmesg or /var/log/dmesg and see the messages of when your other disks were detected, it will show it with names as scsiX or sd X:0:0:0. Also grep for ahci in dmesg, it might give you a clue. You might have multiple hosts in one AHCI controller, you might have to figure out which one your disk is connected, or scan all of them. Once you found which host it is, issue the following command as root: echo - - - /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/scan I wrote hostX above, but you have to use the proper number, like host4 if your SATA is scsi4. This should work. Let us know how that goes. HTH, Filipe ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] CentOS-5.2 su -l is failing
I am encountering an odd problem with su. Up until quite recently I was able to connect to one of my servers (CentOS-5.2) via ssh as an ordinary user and then, from the shell, perform an $ su -l to obtain root access. Now when I try to do this I see the following: $ su -l Password: su: incorrect password If, instead of I ssh to this machine as the root user ($ ssh -l root host) and enter exactly the same password from the same keyboard then I log in successfully as root. I have made no conscious changes to the target system configuration files and I know that the first method, logging in as a normal user and then su -l to root, was working just a few days ago. Review of the man and info pages does not enlighten me as to what might be wrong.

[CentOS] CentOS 5.2 running in VMWare 6.5 Firefox failed to connect, but konqueror works well
Hello I am running CentOS 5.2 in VMWare 6.5. Firefox doesn't run but Konqurer does. VMware host (Vista) is connected to the internet via a DSL router. CentOS VMware network is brided, DHCP is activated, no firewall is acive. Perhaps somebody can help me. Thank you in advance Josef ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] CentOS 5.2 + iptables + memcached Problem
I do have such a rule at the top of the rule set. Sorry I did not provide more context. The basic structure of my rule set is: 1. Deny some known bad packet types. 2. Accept ESTABLISHED, RELATED traffic. 3. Accept rules of various sorts (such as the memcached rules). 4. Deny all (catch all rule). I'm not an iptables newbie - I have used it for years and understand its basic operation. All my other rules work perfectly. This is why I am perplexed as to the memcached rules not working as expected and why I suspect a bug of some sort.

[CentOS] Centos 5.2 yum check-update fails - repo change?
A couple of days ago I run yum update to take care of installing new updates for evolution.i386, evolution-data-server.i386 and nscd.i386 . The update went through with no fuss. Yesterday when I ran check-update I got the exact same updates list. So I did not run yum update, thinking this was a sync error or a repo issue. Today (just a few minutes ago) I ran the update check again and got the same list. So I ran yum clean all and now I get a different error, detailed below. Anyone know why this happens or what to do?

[CentOS] CentOS 5.2 + iptables + memcached Problem
Hi, I'm experiencing the most perplexing problem with iptables on CentOS 5.2. I'm hoping someone can point out what I must be missing here. I have memcached set up on several nodes on an internal network. I have the following rules set up to allow traffic between memcached nodes: IPTABLES -A INPUT -i bond0 -p tcp -m tcp -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 192.168.1.0/24 --dport 11211 -j ACCEPT IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i bond0 -p tcp -m tcp -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 192.168.1.0/24 --dport 11211 -j ACCEPT IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -o bond0 -p tcp -m tcp -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 192.168.1.0/24 --dport 11211 -j ACCEPT IPTABLES -A FORWARD -o bond0 -p tcp -m tcp -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 192.168.1.0/24 --dport 11211 -j ACCEPT And yet, iptables continues to drop memcached packets. It appears to simply skip these rules and fall through to the default CATCH-ALL policy. Here are some iptables log messages notifying of the dropped packets: Dec 12 20:33:53 s1 kernel: DROP -- Catch All: IN= OUT=bond0 SRC=192.168.1.1 DST=192.168.1.2 LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=11211 DPT=47567 WINDOW=0 RES=0x00 RST URGP=0 Dec 12 20:33:59 s1 kernel: DROP -- Catch All: IN= OUT=bond0 SRC=192.168.1.1 DST=192.168.1.2 LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=11211 DPT=47771 WINDOW=0 RES=0x00 RST URGP=0 Dec 12 20:34:00 s1 kernel: DROP -- Catch All: IN= OUT=bond0 SRC=192.168.1.1 DST=192.168.1.2 LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=11211 DPT=35600 WINDOW=0 RES=0x00 RST URGP=0 Dec 12 20:34:12 s1 kernel: DROP -- Catch All: IN= OUT=bond0 SRC=192.168.1.1 DST=192.168.1.4 LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=11211 DPT=52823 WINDOW=0 RES=0x00 RST URGP=0 Dec 12 20:34:40 s1 kernel: DROP -- Catch All: IN= OUT=bond0 SRC=192.168.1.1 DST=192.168.1.4 LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=11211 DPT=44946 WINDOW=0 RES=0x00 RST URGP=0 Dec 12 20:34:42 s1 kernel: DROP -- Catch All: IN= OUT=bond0 SRC=192.168.1.1 DST=192.168.1.3 LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=11211 DPT=45046 WINDOW=0 RES=0x00 RST URGP=0 Dec 12 20:37:40 s1 kernel: DROP -- Catch All: IN= OUT=bond0 SRC=192.168.1.1 DST=192.168.1.4 LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=11211 DPT=58825 WINDOW=0 RES=0x00 RST URGP=0 Dec 12 20:37:49 s1 kernel: DROP -- Catch All: IN= OUT=bond0 SRC=192.168.1.1 DST=192.168.1.2 LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=11211 DPT=44183 WINDOW=0 RES=0x00 RST URGP=0 I am not seeing anything like this with any of the other filtered ports in my ruleset.

[CentOS] CentOS 5.2 with IBM SERVERAID 6i
I need to install CentOS 5.2 on a IBM Server xSeries 226, which comes with a IBM SERVERAID 6i RAID card. I think it is not a true hardware RAID card. I has, nevertheless, an interesting feature: 128MB of cache with battery backup. I launched the CentOS boot DVD and CentOS correctly identified the card and the RAID 5 array as configured by the controller's BIOS. My question now is: what would be the better way to implement RAID 5 on this server? Should I use the detected array and respective driver or should I delete the array and go for Linus Software RAID? If both solutions are in fact Software RAID, is there any particular reason to prefer one of the methods? I know that Linux RAID will create a universal, more compatible array, readable on any Linux machine. But is there some other reason that makes it preferrable to use the SERVERAID driver provided by CentOS? Is it optimized in any way that recommends its use? Will the controller still make use of its cache and battery backup if configured as a plain SCSI controller with Linux Software RAID? I hope that some more experienced list member can ellucidate me on this. Thank you! PS - The machine is powered by a Intel P4 Xeon processor served by 2.5GB of RAM.

I always prefer hardware raid over software raid primarily for hot swap purposes, if a drive is dead I just yank it, replace it and don't have to worry about it, rebuild is automatic. This may be the case with linux software raid now I'm not sure, a few years ago hot swap was somewhat iffy and results varied widely on the controller(e.g. could panic/hang the box in some situations). Also root on raid is much simpler with hardware raid than software raid. If you have battery backed cache as yours appears to have, you have the added advantage of write back caching which can give higher performance. Out of the 400 or so raid cards I've used over the years I recall only 2, maybe 3 of them having trouble(failing/faulty). So in short I always prefer hardware raid because it is simpler to operate for me at least. That is provided it is a true hardware raid controller, there are a lot of shit hybrid software/hardware raid cards out there, I do not trust them. nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Can I use this to backup my linux mail server with Zimbra services shutdown? Can I use this to backup windows server machine without using Samba or it is the only way to go. I intend to read manual of these two when I got my machine to test, for a while maybe I can get some insight from those who have already experience using these tools. You can do all that with both tools. Bacula is tape oriented, so if you're backing up to tape it's going to be the tool for you. It also supports backing up to disk, but it backs up to disk as if it was a tape (a set of tapes, actually) which is kind of awkward. In my opinion, Bacula's user interface is kind of weird too. Backuppc backs up to disk only, but it has a great advantage that it finds duplicate files and uses hardlinks to reduce storage usage, so it can usually back up much more data than Bacula in the same space. Another advantage of Backuppc is that it backs up using rsync or tar over ssh or smbtar for Windows, so in general you don't need to install an agent on the client machines. It's web interface is also very good. So, you should choose mainly based on the media you're using for backups. IMHO, if you still use tapes, forget the past and move to the future of disk-based backups, and adopt Backuppc as your tool. HTH, Filipe Hi Filipe, Thanks for giving me insights. I have HP StorageWorks D2D2500 machine on the way, I wonder if I can put CentOS on the machine then putting Backuppc after or the machine is already ready to use without needing additional software to install.

On the other hand, given bandwidth suitable for keeping up with changes via rsync, backuppc is perfectly capable of maintaining offsite backups over a vpn without transporting anything. And for life span you can use raid mirrors and replace a drive every couple of years. Also, backuppc can generate a tar imaage that you can write to other media for archival storage and the ability to restore without the application running - it isn't particularly handy but it is possible. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Yes, tape for offsite copies are fine, but these days I don't see any reason why to back up directly to tape instead of staging to disk first. If you do backups to disk with BackupPC, you can use dump to efficiently create an image of that filesystem to tape, and then send that tape offsite. Or, as another poster already mentioned, you can do your offsite through the network by using a remote BackupPC server or using rsync to keep a copy of your local backups on a remote machine.
