 Was that *ext4* single quoted? If not bash seems to grab that glob
 and find the doesn't get passed what you want (at least I think that
 is what happens). If you're not too fussy about the source of the
 file, Google shows up a ext4.h with a search for the same.
 
  currently, i have no ext4.h header file anywhere under /usr/include,
 and i have both packages kernel-devel and kernel-headers installed.
 i'm sure i'm doing something stupid.

Sorry, I replied off list before. I've put it back on in case anyone else can 
help.

What about the kernel SRPM? In the SL6 kernel SRPM there is a tar.bz2 file 
which contains the full source including fs/ext4/ext4.h and a bunch of other 
related headers. SL5 will be similar I would think.
 


gnome desktop with garbled letters and glibc problems

2011-03-14 Thread Sigurdur Jonsson
Hi,
I'm trying 6.0 version out if it is a good choice for production servers. This 
is not an major issue, just a pain in the ass. All the letters on the Gnome 
Desktop (i think) are all garbled. Tried looking language packs with no luck. 
i18n is configured to use en.US utf-8. There isnt a xorg.conf to configure the 
language. Maybe its deprecated. Anybody have a solution for this one? Maybe it 
works after selecting during install, but I tried the minimal install to see 
just how minimal it is. Another problem, there seem to be 2 glibc packages with 
different versions and I cant delete either of them. Had to exclude glibc* in 
yum.conf in order to update recent packages. We wont be using them as desktops, 
I have Ubuntu for that. But this should work out of the box in my opinion. 
Glibc 
is a far more serious issue. I want the newest version, of course. Anyways keep 
up the good work. Thinking about changing from CentOS to SL but I am not so 
sure 
anymore.

  As part of upgrade planning for my main workstation at home (an
  updated SL 5.2 system), I booted from the live CD just to see if all
  the major devices worked. Everything worked :). Unfortunately, that
  act rendered my existing system unbootable.
 
  When I booted from the live CD it found and started my md RAID1
  partitions, including my system root partition. Nice, I had all my
  data there to play with. I noticed that where I had previously used
  /dev/md0, /dev/md1, etc..., the live CD system had created them as
  /dev/md122, /dev/md123, and so on, and not in the original order. I
  didn't think much of this, figuring my regular system would start them
  back in the original configuration, but apparently some metadata
  somewhere got changed by the live CD system and now the original
  system would not get past switching to the root file system with a 'no
  such device' error. I could see, just before going off the screen,
  where it had started my root partition as /dev/md125 rather than
  /dev/md0.
 
  I tried a couple of things to recover from this: I tried stopping and
  reassembling the RAID sets with the desired device names from the live
  CD system, and repackaging my initrd with device files for the
  /dev/md12* devices, but no luck. At that point I decided that, since I
  had already done my backups and was planning on eventually going to
  SL6, that I'd just push forward with a fresh install of SL6. It took a
  few hours that I hadn't planned on to get everything back up to speed,
  and I have one issue yet to work and a couple of minor things to
  configure.
 
  I have another retired box with the same RAID setup and it too, got
  hosed by the live CD. I'm going to play with this box to see if I can
  find a way to recover from this.
 
  Beware.
 
  Thanks for letting us know!
 
  I would be very interesting in a recovery procedure.
 
  I guess that it should be possible to re-assemble the raid device. So in
  case /dev/md0 was renamed to /dev/125 and was setup with /dev/sda1
  /dev/sdb1, you may get /dev/md0 back, if you do
 
  mdadm --stop /dev/125
  mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
 
  Are your raid partition of the type 0xfd (Linux RAID autodetect) or 0x83
  (Linux)?
 
  If this is a general problem with the LiveCD and software raids, I would
  like to fix it on the LiveCD.
 
  Usually md devices are renamed/renumbered when /etc/mdadm.conf has
  HOMEHOSTsystem set and the metadata in the superblock has a
  different homehost value.

 The file /etc/mdadm.conf does not exist on the LiveCD. Therefore the md
 devices should not be renamed...? Bluejay, do you see /etc/mdadm.conf, if
 you boot your system with the LiveCD?

I had a similar problem with disks when I lost a system disk and needed to 
rebuild the file system.   Thank god I had a hard copy of print out of df 
before it crashed.
This is crude but effective.  I used the install disks - got to the area that 
allowed me to set up and format hard disks.   I named them correctly, and 
organized the data as on hard copy.   The data is still there but the install 
program plays dumb but will allow you to rename everything - set do not 
format.  Continue and when it gets to asking for application - bail out.  
(reboot) and you are there.  Now you have to work on /etc/fstab to make all 
drives physical mounts.  (get rid of logical drive names).   Once this is 
done you should be able to reboot and recover you old data.  You will notice 
that you have a new fstab.
After you have everyting saved to a back up.   Then you can replace disks / 
rename them and use the same scheme to restore you system to use LVM.
A hard way around the apple tree but sometimes it's desperate measures by 
desperate men.   Its crude / rude but effective.

A very usefull utility would be a partial install disk that allows you to do 
disk management and quit the install.

   i'm fairly familiar with the layout of the kernel source and i can
 assure you that that ext4.h file above doesn't represent the layout of
 the ext4 filesystem.  it's under the include/trace/events directory so
 it's clearly related to system tracing, not filesystem structure.
 
   let's just put all this on hold until i have the time this evening
 to do a more thorough search.

just try

yum whatprovides */ext4.h

to find out what rpms contain that file.

 Bluejay, do you see /etc/mdadm.conf, if you boot your system with the

I've checked the Live CD that I have and it doesn't have
/etc/mdadm.conf. The install that I made with the Live CD does have
one though, which I find confusing because I thought (incorrectly it
seems) that a Live CD install is made from the same image as the Live
CD itself. It doesn't have HOMEHOSTsystem but it is set to
automount some arrays.

I don't know through what mechanism arrays are renamed when they are
assembled on a foreign box and *stay*renamed* when are re-assembled
on the home box. I know that it's happened to me and others with
more than one distribution and that the resolution is to boot from a
rescue disk, run hostname host, and assemble the array(s) with
--update=homehost.

Debuginfo repositories

2011-03-14 Thread Vaclav Mocek

Hello,

I am wondering why Scientific Linux doesn't support debuginfo 
repositories in the same way as Red Hat does (disabled in *.repo files, 
distributed directly in the directory with binaries).
I found some debug information 'hidden' in the directory 
/linux/scientific/6rolling/archive/debuginfo/, however I am not sure 
if it contains all debuginfo from all other binary directories and is 
already in sync.


There are two reasons, why we shall care about debuginfo as a first 
class citizen:
1) ABRT 
(http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/ch-abrt.html;)
2) SystemTap 
(http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/SystemTap_Beginners_Guide/index.html;)


Without debuginfo it is difficult to generate a sensible crash log 
(ABRT) and it helps [Red Hat] developers a lot. If one wants to analyse 
and tune the performance of the system, the SystemTap is absolutely 
essential and it needs debuginfo as well.


Best Regards

Vaclav M.

In the LVM way of things, if I connect this disk to another computer,
would these /boot partitions collide and prevent the computer from booting?


That volume is just a regular partition since /boot can't reside on a LV.
