[CentOS] Error reading block x (Attempt to read block...)

[Scott R. Ehrlich]

A Centos 5 64-bit server reflected some SCSI kernel errors in the logs, so 
I opted to reboot, only to be prompted to perform a manual fsck, that an 
automatic fsck wouldn't be permitted.


As a result, the fsck is taking a long time, as I have to babysit the 
server for every bad block that is reported and needs a forced rewrite.


The exact error is "Error reading block x (Attempt to read block from 
filesystem resulted in short read) while doing inode scan.   Ignore 
error(y)?


Force rewrite(y)?"

I say yes to both.

Could I safely get away with booting from a CentOS 5 CD and performing a 
fsck with automatic system fixing to speed up the process, or do I need to 
be patient and just keep manually selecting Y for as long as it takes?


Thanks.

[CentOS] satisfying netdirector package dependencies

[Greg Wallace]

Hello,

we're looking at packaging up our current NetDirector bug fix release
and we want it available as .rpm

at this moment, the maintainers don't have a test environment for Centos

does anyone know whether the latest versions of and Centos can satisfy
Tomcat 5 and Java 1.4 JDK as dependencies?

thanks in advance!

Depends what's on the disk. Sounds like it's going, or has gone bad.
Disks have a bunch of blocks on them that the end user can't see and
they usually automatically re-map bad blocks into this region. So once
you start actually seeing bad blocks that means this region is
exhausted, and you have a LOT of bad blocks.

Hope you have a good backup. As it sounds like you may be looking at
massive data loss on that disk.

If it were me, and there was important data I needed I would try to
force mount the partition(in read only mode) and recover the data that
I wanted and then run the diagnostics provided by the manufacturer
of the disk and then RMA it. Even one bad block that is visible is
enough to authorize an RMA from any manufacturer that I've dealt
with in the past several years.

If it didn't mount, then try a automatic fsck and pray it doesn't
render the file system any more unusable.

I haven't had good luck with the java and tomcat that ship with

I ended up installing the Sun runtime and the tomcat binaries from

[CentOS] Source keychain credentials in Perl?

[Sean Carolan]

Keychain is quite a useful tool for automating SSH logins without
having to use password-less keys:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/keychain/

Normally it is used like this to set the SSH_AUTH_SOC and
SSH_AGENT_PID variables:
source ~/.keychain/hostname-sh

(This is what's in hostname-sh)
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-XXn47DUn/agent.16721; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK;
SSH_AGENT_PID=16722; export SSH_AGENT_PID;

I would like these environment variables to be made available to a
Perl script so that any "system" commands contained in the perl script
will inherit them.  How do you do this in Perl?

where should i place my include files so that no one can access except

i usually place them in /var/www/html/includes, but people can access to

If the variables are exported when you call Perl, they will be
available inside Perl. And, when you call "system", they will be
available for those processes as well. Are you having any specific
problems doing this? If you can't make it work, please send more

Just so it is clear what I am trying to do, there are some scp and ssh
commands like:

system ("/usr/bin/scp /tmp/filename server1:/tmp/filename");

we want the scp command to use the running ssh-agent's credentials to
log onto the remote server.

[CentOS] ipw3945 wireless not working

[Robert Moskowitz]

This is a new Centos 5.1 install on a HP nc2400 (that use to run XP).  
Completely clean install; blew away the XP partitions...


After applying all the updates, and configuring for the rpmforge repo, I 
used yumex to install dkms and the dkms-ipw3945, ipw3945-firmware, and 
ipw3945d rpms.


lsmod|grep ipwshows:

ipw3945  180391   1
i80211  33417   1   ipw3945

and dmesg)grep ipw   shows:

well a bunch of lines about the card including one with the Radio 
Frequency Kill Swithc is On


But the card does not show in Network Manager.

I added to modprobe.conf:
alias wifi0 ipw3945
and rebooted (and power cycled) and no change.

ifconfig wifi0 up
gets: device not found

Oh, this notebook has a Broadcom ethernet adapter that is working just 
fine at bootup


But I have to get the wireless working today!  Well maybe by tomorrow.  
(off to IETF next week, and IEEE 802 the following).

There are no pre-assigned environment variables in kickstart, but
you can query kernel parameters from 'cat /proc/cmdline' and you
can setup your own environment variables early in the %post section
that you can use later.

You can probably use different userland utilities to acquire
different information and populate your own environment variables
with it. Just make sure the utilities are installed in the
%packages section. DHCP information would be handy in variables. I
set the architecture variable early with:

export ARCH="`uname -i`"

Check to see if the physical switch is turned on. As long as the
system thinks the Kill Switch is on it won't show up in Network
Manager. [Having spent an hour debugging this a couple of months ago.]
Basically it comes down to the first question of support: Is it
plugged in? At the moment the computer does not think so.

[CentOS] 5.0 -> 5.1

[Ashley M. Kirchner]

   Hi folks,

   I have a production server that's currently running 5.0 with all 
updates.  What's the easiest, or perhaps best way to upgrade it to 5.1, 
with minimal down time?  The downtime is critical, so I need to have it 
be a short as possible.  I can live with an hour or two, but larger is 
going to be a pain.


   Suggestions?

Yes, this works.  Is there a way to only source the file once?  There
are a bit over a dozen scp and ssh commands in the script.
Unfortunately this is not my script, otherwise I'd have just done this
all in bash.

[CentOS] rsyslog repo?

[Johnny Tan]

Does anyone know of a CentOS-5 (el5) repo for rsyslog, 
that's being maintained on a relatively regular basis? I 
checked all the usual suspects (dag, karan, epel, etc.), but 
they either don't have rsyslog at all, or they have an old 
version.


Currently, I'm doing a rebuild of the Fedora-8 srpm, but 
it's at version 2.0.2. I wanted to move to 3.11.x for the 
disk-assisted buffering, and I was able to fix the spec file 
such that the package installs and runs. But I'm having 
other troubles with it (specifically with remote logging, 
which I was able to get working with the 2.0.2 version).


So, I'm troubleshooting those problems as I speak(type), but 
perhaps rather than reinvent the wheel, I just wanted to 
check if there's an existing 3.x repo for el5, or if there 
are people out there who've worked out these problems already.

If you've been running yum update, you're already at 5.1. You may just
need to reboot to load the new kernel.

If you're unsure if you actually are running centos 5.1, run 'rpm -q
centos-release' and you should see 5.1.0- in the release string.

One solution would be to "source ~/.keychain/hostname-sh" in the shell
before calling the perl script. That should work.

Another one would be to source it before calling scp:

system ("source ~/.keychain/hostname-sh; /usr/bin/scp /tmp/filename
server1:/tmp/filename");

The third one (if you don't use a shell to invoke the perl and you
don't want to change every "system" call) would be to parse the file
inside perl and to modify the %ENV variable to include these two
variables. What you want is the equivalent of:

$ENV{SSH_AUTH_SOCK} = "/tmp/ssh-XXn47DUn/agent.16721";
$ENV{SSH_AGENT_PID} = "16722";

But of course you'd have to parse the file to get the real values.
Anyway, if you set that in the begining of your code, every "system"
you use will have these two variables exported as well.

Does this answer your question?

5.0 with all updates is equal to 5.1 with all updates. So probably all you
have to do is reboot to the latest kernel.

Unless you've changed the default yum repo files to stay at 5.0 for some
reason, you should already be at 5.1.

Yep, this is what I did.  I have the source ~/.keychain/hostname-sh in

Yes, and for this simple one-off script probably too much trouble to
go parsing the .keychain file.  Its easier to just source it before
each bash command.

Check to see if the physical switch is turned on. As long as the
system thinks the Kill Switch is on it won't show up in Network

Basically it comes down to the first question of support: Is it
plugged in? At the moment the computer does not think so.
There is NO physical switch. XP had some way of enabling the radio. So I 
went into the bios and played around a bit. Tried an option and now 
NetworkManager sees the card!


But when I enter my WPA passphrase, I keep going back to being asked for 
the passphrase :(


I noticed that NetworkManager is using eth1 for the the wireless

I tried to use wpa_supplicant deamon as I do on my nc4010 that has an 
atheros pci card. man wpa_supplicant lists ipw as a valid device, but 
when I supply this, i get


Unsupported driver 'ipw'

SO why does it not like my passphrase that works just fine with my 
nc4010 and its ahteros card? Granted theweak passphrase I am using fails 
password checkers, but still.


Or how to use wpa_supplicant instead of NetworkManager (which is pretty 
cool, where is its config files).

   Hi folks,

   Suggestions?



As others have mentioned, you are probably already there, but I'd do:
yum install yum-downloadonly
yum -y --downloadonly update
to pull in anything new but not install it.  You can repeat the 2nd 
command if it doesn't complete or if some time passes before you get 
around to doing the

yum install
which will go quickly with all the packages already downloaded.  You 
really only have downtime if you need to reboot and you only need to 
reboot if you pick up a new kernel in the update.

I am not sure why an update would have caused the profiles and the

long time and changed versions etc and never had this issue ( 
although, I do only stick with the version in the distro )



Hi Karanbir,

Perhaps it was some other factor causing the problem with Thunderbird 
and it was a coincidence that it manifested at the same time as an

I'm using the ipw3945 on CentOS 5.1 with the following packages:

ipw3945-firmware-1.14.2-1.nodist.rf

I installed mine using this:

yum install dkms-ipw3945 NetworkManagerDispatcher

chkconfig --level 345 NetworkManagerDispatcher on

After installation, reboot your laptop and your wireless adapter should
now be seen by the NetworkManager application in Gnome. You can click on
it and then connect to it in the taskbar on the right-hand side. I was
successful at connecting to a WRT54G at G speed using WPA2 Pre-Shared
Key Only and AES encryption algorithms.

This is all that was needed to install and connect to the wireless
network. Also, the card is seeing 4 different neighbor's wireless
connection points, so it's probing and searching appropriately.

Not sure if this helps you or not.

Save rpms off of rpmforge. Installed this morning.

I installed mine using this:

yum install dkms-ipw3945 NetworkManagerDispatcher
  

NetworkManager was part of the base install.

chkconfig --level 345 NetworkManager on
chkconfig --level 345 NetworkManagerDispatcher on
  
I did this via the gnome services app, turning on all runlevels so I 
could activate 3,4,&5

After installation, reboot your laptop and your wireless adapter should

I got to this point. Had to play around with the bios for the radio to

Where does NetworkManager keep its information? There was no

I'm not sure mine stores anything anywhere. Every time I connect it asks
me for my passphrase information when I attempt to connect.

When I go home and turn the wireless on, I can search my logs to see if
it's storing that anywhere and get back to you.

I'm definitely all for stable, non-broken software even if

But I'm specifically interested in rsyslog v3 for the

Basically, I want to be able to log locally AND remotely.

Yes, aside from being able to run yum manually while still letting it do

Not good if you have a really good passphrase! You can be more secure if 
the passphrase is kept protected on your system and is hard to enter, 
than have one that is 'easy'to remember and enter.

When I go home and turn the wireless on, I can search my logs to see if
it's storing that anywhere and get back to you.

What is NetworkManager using for its 802.1X supplicant code?

I think I can see that it cannot be teh wpa_supplicant. It only supports 
the ipw2200, I have figured out. Not the ipw3945. So I will uninstall 
that. The xsupplicant rpm? or something internal?



BTW, I turned on an AP with no security, and connected right to it with 
NetworkManager. This really tends to narrow my problem to WPA support.

If you have passphrases turned on in Gnome it stores them in


Network manager stores its data via dbus which gets its stuff usually
from user configs.

/home/$USER/.gconf/system/networking/wireless

Now I will say I had similar problems with the DAG ipw3945 and some
AP's. I had to recompile with some options turned off to get it to
work better. In the end, I switched to some Intel made rpms and tada
it all worked better. However, I can't use the device to do airsnort
etc so its a wash in my opinion.

   Nope, I don't run yum.  I do manual updates.  So I've rsynced the
updates to a local drives, and then ran rpm against them.  There's
something about running un-attended updates on a life system.  I've had
too many cases where I come into the office in the morning and the
system is dead because of some update overnight.



Fascinating - I've always had to run yum manually, and I've never seen
an overnight update on my system.

Are you sure you don't have rogue administrators sneaking in at night
and 'yup'ing?

(Okay, that wasn't a serious suggestion, but your issue seems kind of
strange...)

Just my $0.02.


Yes, aside from being able to run yum manually while still letting it do 
all the work, when has anyone seen a Centos system die from an update? I 
know it's theoretically possible and I baby-sit the critical systems too 
(at least the first on each hardware type), but this stuff is pretty 
well tested before being pushed out.


While I haven't seen an entire system go down from an update, I have seen 
software stop working due to a perl module update. But to be fair, that also 
involved a third-party repo.

Just click the icon and select the one you want.  It remembers your favorite

That error means you are trying to link against i386 libraries with -m64 
... which you can't do. You need to remove all i[3,4,5,6]86 RPMS from an 
x86_64 build server except for glibc.i686 and glibc-devel.i386 (and 
those packages are only needed to build a couple packages).




Maybe it should look for /usr/lib64/libltdl.so ?

 Can't you use the Centos SRPM file as a template for
 the build process?




Ooops  :S How can I do that?


First thing is that building on x86_64 is quite a PITA.

You will need to either use mock with the appropriate configuration file 
  or you will need to create a build machine that has only x86_64 RPMS 
(otherwise you will either try (and fail) to link to i386 libraries ... 
or if you have enough i386 software actually installed (binutils, 
libgcc, glibc and glibc-devel) then you will actually link against i386 
libraries).


This will most likely make your binaries not work, or require mixed 
software on other installs.


So, I would recommend that you create a build VM or use mock.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
