how about doing a 'yum clean metadata; yum makecache' about 30 min

timedhosts.txt is NOT in the rpm.  It is created when you run yum and
contains the names of the mirror sites yum tried to access.  Johnny
wanted to know which site yum attempted to use.  If you do not see
this file even after yum was run, then something is amiss there.

My bad! It's there. I was looking in the wrong directory and didn't
notice until later. The file currently contains:

mirror.centos.org 1.90688800812

Shouldn't yum update kernel update all kernel rpms installed? Rpm -q
kernel returns all kernel rpm's I have installed (ie kernel-2.6.18-8.el5
kernel-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5)

I tried this (yum update kernel) which reported: Could not find update
match for kernel. How do I find what arch yum is using? This may be a
clue why the kernel only is not being updated. This is what uname -rmpi
returns:

uname -rmpi
2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 i686 i686 i386

[CentOS] sleepy disk drives

[Aleksandar Milivojevic]

Hi,

I'm having a grief with Seagate FreeAgent Pro drive connected to
CentOS 4 box via USB.  The problem is that drive is factory configured
to take a nap (spin down) after some 15-20 minutes of inactivity, and
there doesn't seem to be a way to disable it.  Since it's USB
connected, hdparm can't be used on it.  Getting the drive out of the
case is not an option either, since it would probably void the
warranty (and there's still 4.5 years of it left).  There's eSATA
connector on the drive too, but I don't have anything on the PC side
to connect it to.  There's also FireWire connector, but somebody at
big red company decided users don't need FireWire (and I'd probably
have same problem if the drive was connected via FireWire too).

The problem with the drive spinning down is that Linux doesn't really
like when that happens.  It reports that drive is not responding,
spits bunch of I/O errors for the device in the logs, and refuses any
operation on the file system(s) that are on that drive.  In contrast,
Windows, Mac OS X and some other boxes I tried to connect the drive to
have no problem with it (drive simply spins up when accessed).  There
was a patch in relatively recent Linux kernels that adds allow_restart
option (accessible from /sys), which apparently should solve the
problem for Linux (described here:
http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/DealWithAutoSpinDownOnSeagateFreeAgent).
 When allow_restart is set to 1 (default is 0), Linux will do what all
other operating systems do by default, spin up the drive on access.
However, kernel included with CentOS 4 is not recent enough, and
doesn't have that option.

Anyhow, my question is (after probably describing things a bit too
much), does the kernel included with CentOS 5 supports allow_restart?
Could somebody (anybody) running CentOS 5 could check if either of
these paths exists on his/her system:

/sys/block/sda/device/allow_restart

or

/sys/class/scsi_disk/0:0:0:0/allow_restart

If they do exist, I'll be probably upgrading my box to CentOS 5
pronto...  If they don't, well, might still upgrade but it won't solve
the problem I'm having...

Thanks,
Alex

[CentOS] Raid controller issue under CentOS 5.1

[Joseph L. Casale]

I have an LSI ELP with an external enclosure and two arrays in it. I needed 
some quick storage so I put two drives in some open slots and created a span. 
One drive failed, but I have seen multiple failures on this port so I suspected 
either a bad controller port/cable/backplane. I offlined the remaining good 
drive and removed them both, I reinserted them to see if the bad drive was bad 
and it would seem that made the system unhappy. I attempted to reboot at which 
point it hung partially through the reboot. I attached the messages log, can 
anyone shed some light on what happened?

Thanks for any guidance!

It's fairly easy to roll your own.
I got livecd-tools.  I think I got it from the fedora project, but I'm not 
sure... or maybe from the CentOS Wiki.
I also got a couple of Kick-Start files...

livecd-creator --config=centos-livecd-minimal.ks --fslabel=1st_live_cd

Add you have the ISO.

The problem with that is ... OF COURSE ... it requires a version of

That is why the official Live CD is not installable, it requires too 
much devastation from the original anaconda.


That version does SEEM to work OK, in a NON-SUPPORTED kind of way though.

all of this stuff is well documented on the Trac instance for the project.

However, installing from the livecd the way it is setup at the moment is 
a really bad idea. There are a few options on how one might sanitise the 
install process - but I am not committing to doing yet another thing :D

[CentOS] ls : not UTF-8 compliant?

[Mufit Eribol]

Sorry bugging you for this simple command.

ls command displays question marks for the local characters (ones not 
included in 8859-1 space) in filenames.


ie.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] aa]# touch çarp
[EMAIL PROTECTED] aa]# ls
??arp
[EMAIL PROTECTED] aa]# ls -b#for octal escapes
\303\247arp
[EMAIL PROTECTED] aa]#

However, ls|less, ls|more or vi  all display filename 
correctly. Also, the  completes such filenames in the correct way. 
Even, logsave command for the ls output prints the right characters.


So, I assume the filesystem keeps the filenames in UTF-8 encoding, but 
somehow ls can not show them properly.


Any workaround or a replacement for ls? BTW The system is Centos 5.1 and 
locale shows the encoding as UTF-8.


Thank you.

The anaconda package does not need to be present on your build system.
It needs to be present on the LiveCD.

That's a totally different question.  You must be a ubuntu user...

There are several ways of doing this.  My favorite is to put the initrd 
and vmlinuz files onto an existing bootable usb (RIP Linux). 
Specify a kickstart file or specify method=ask on the kernel options.


When I'm working on a machine where the BIOS doesn't support USB boot, 
I use CD #1, specify kickstart/method on the command line.

Right,

 And there are a couple other packages too (pykickstart, dosfstools and
 syslinux) that are modified. For the most part the modified version
 works just fine, but there are things about it that are not officially
 supported.

 It should be stated the the purpose of the live CD is NOT to install
 centos (unless you want to, as a convenience use the Network install
 provided on there, which is fully supported) ... but to use to test your
 hardware and to use as a recovery disc.

If you are only doing a system or two, you can down the live cd and do a net

XD No, no, I'm not a Ubuntu user ;) in fact, I prefer Mandriva, or
even Fedora, if you are talking about desktop  systems... I am pretty
sick of the Ubuntu hype...

It happens that in my job I suggested to change from Fedora to Centos
(installed on servers) and my boss liked the idea of having a free Red
Hat Enterprise clon. But, I had some problems with mirrors using
netinstall method, so I was not looking an dummy installation, I
repeat I was looking for one CD install. It's different when you can
get a minimal system installed (for example Mandriva has a mini CD,
with a bare way of installation adn then you can download what you can
install what you want, and please, don't say me now: "So use
Mandriva", I am interested of using Centos on servers). We have one of
the main servers running Centos 5.1 and we will move others from
Fedora to Centos... using Xen too :)

If you don't want to grab the whole LiveCD for a net install, all you
really need is the boot.iso image from the install directory for the
$ARCH, e.g.:

lftpget http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5.1/os/i386/images/boot.iso

Sorry bugging you for this simple command.

ls command displays question marks for the local characters (ones 
not included in 8859-1 space) in filenames.


ie.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] aa]# touch �arp
[EMAIL PROTECTED] aa]# ls
??arp
[EMAIL PROTECTED] aa]# ls -b#for octal escapes
\303\247arp
[EMAIL PROTECTED] aa]#

However, ls|less, ls|more or vi  all display 
filename correctly. Also, the  completes such filenames in the 
correct way. Even, logsave command for the ls output prints the 
right characters.


So, I assume the filesystem keeps the filenames in UTF-8 encoding, 
but somehow ls can not show them properly.


Any workaround or a replacement for ls? BTW The system is Centos 
5.1 and locale shows the encoding as UTF-8.


Thank you.


Works for me.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ touch �arp
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ ls
çarp
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$

Interesting! Perhaps it is a quirk of ssh using PuTTY. I haven't 
tried it on the monitor connected. Did you try in on the monitor and 
CLI (no X, no Gnome etc)?
Remember that putty defaults to an iso character set unless you change 
the defaults.




No way! I use UTF-8 for "Character set translation on received data" of 
PuTTY. Centos is a fresh install with the default LANG setting. What 
else should I try?

Thank you for your support!

Re: [CentOS] C5 64-bit on Dell not seeing 1 GB link

Are you using CAT5e or CAT6 cabling? What brand of switch are you using?


I was misinformed.   The desktop connections are actually 100 Mb.

But, we did get to learn about a few tools and methods to check the link 
and make changes, so it was not wasted time.


Sorry 'bout that.

I've got a Dell Precision Workstation 490 with 64-bit Centos 5, fully
updated, with an on-board Broadcom 57xx gigabit Ethernet controller,
updated BIOS, 1 GB switch, and /var/log/messages and dmesg both claim the
link is 100 Mb, not 1 GB.

I tried setting eth0 to mtu 9000 but got an error in going so.

What do I need to do to have the card see 1 gb?

Thanks.

italianiceboy,

 

go the the directory that root.cache should be in

 

im guessing that the commands should be like this

 

cd /var/named/chroot/var/named

 

dig @a.root-servers.net . ns > root.cache

 

chown named:named root.cache

 

service named restart

 

and all should be well
