Please read the instructions on the DeviceIDs page once again.  You
ran only the first command.  You now need to look at the output and
run the second command "lspci -n | grep ". The 
part is the first item of the output from the first command.  The
output of the second command gives you the vendor:device ID pairing.

Now look for this pairing within that page and identify the driver you
should use.  If you find it in the "r8168.ko" section, then what you
will need is the kmod-r8168 package.  If you find it in the "r8169.ko"
section, you will want the kmod-r8169 package.

If you have already installed kmod-r8169 and if you want to uninstall
it, then run:

rpm -e kmod-r8169

That will cleanly uninstall the kernel r8169 module.

So, first, let us know the output from the second command above so
that we can tell which kernel module package your NIC requires.
Please show the entire output without truncating it.

[r...@localhost] lspci -n | grep "Ethernet"

03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 03)

[r...@localhost] lspci -n | grep "03:00.0"

03:00.0 0200: 10ec:8168 (rev 03)

And yes, the kmod-r8169-xen was installed somehow and has been
uninstalled cleanly. I was uninstalling kmod-r8169 instead of
kmod-r8169-xen. Sorry for not being more careful.

rpm -qa reports my installed kernel as kernel-xen-2.6.18-8.el5

kmod-r8168-xen still wont install due to kernel module dependencies.
So what next.

[CentOS] help with bonobo

[Jerry Geis]

This morning I am getting a message on my screen that:

There was a problem registering the panel with the bonobo-activation 
server error code is 1

It further suggests run bonobo-slay to perhaps take care of the situation.
When I run bonobo-slay it says:

 bonobo-slay

Can not open directory /usr/lib/bonobo/servers
No such file or directory


What do I do now?

Jim,

Only thing I did last was a "yum update"... on centos 5 x86_64.
This happens every time I reboot.

once I hit the OK button it looks like everything still comes up and 
runs as normal.

I was hoping that based on the output of the "bonobo-slay" someone might
new what to do...

[CentOS] SELinux Relabeling

[Jorge Fábregas]

Hello everyone,

If create a folder called "whatever" under /var, the context is:

root:object_r:var_t  /var/whatever/

That's expected as it is under /var.  If I then change its type:

chcont -t httpd_sys_content_t /var/whatever

The context looks like:

root:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t  /var/whatever/

My question is...Shouldn't a relabeling of the filesystem change the type of 
this directory back to var_t?  I just performed a relabel (/.autorelabel) and 
the directory stayed with httpd_sys_content_t.  I thought that the only way 
this could happen was if I used "semanage fcontext -a " so that a new 
line would be appended in:
/etc/selinux//etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.local.


Not only that, If I perform "matchpathcon  /var/whatever" I still get var_t as 
its default type. Then again, why it kept the httpd_sys_content_t after the 
relabel?

Thansk in advance,
Jorge

Re: [CentOS] Remote backup of server

[Michael Kress]

Hi, you're searching for a solution that makes snapshots with hardlinks
1) use rsync --delete over ssh
2) use cp -al to create generations
3) rotate the generations daily, just with mv

The generations use nearly no additional disk space, only changes in the
file system consume space (i.e. additions), because of the usage of
hardlinks for the rest of the files. With new files, rsync will overwrite
the hardlink in the current generation of your backup. The hardlinks of
the older generations stay intact, thus the older physical file stays
intact. Remember, a file stays "alive" as long as there's at least one
hardlink pointing to it. This mechanism is the relief to your worries - if
a data corruption occurs on one of your files then your backups from the
past 'n' days will contain a file version that is still good, whereas 'n'
is the number of generations you'll keep.

An example:
day #1:
===
* first rsync happens, lots of files will be created
daily.0/abc   (hardlink to file abc with inode 2235)
daily.0/def   (hardlink to file def with inode 2249)
daily.0/ghi   (hardlink to file ghi with inode 3456)

day #2:
===
* do a 'cp -al daily.0 daily.1'
* do the new rsync on daily.0, modified file "abc" coming over
* the hardlink daily.1/abc stays untouched (so is the file)
* the hardlink faily.0/abc is a new one as the file is a new one
daily.0/abc   (NOTE: hardlink to file abc with inode 8877 ! )
daily.0/def   (hardlink to file def with inode 2249)
daily.0/ghi   (hardlink to file ghi with inode 3456)
daily.1/abc   (hardlink to file abc with inode 2235)
daily.1/def   (hardlink to file def with inode 2249)
daily.1/ghi   (hardlink to file ghi with inode 3456)

Each of the files def and ghi consume only once the disk space, whereas
abc from daily.0 and abc from daily.1 are different files with different
inodes and they of course consume the double amount of disk space.

You may secure your ssh connection even more by not using root i.e. by
using a non privileged user. In that case you'd have to use a sudo etry
(via 'visudo') allowing the non privileged user to use /usr/bin/rsync as
the super user, i.e. on EVERY file in the system. The sudo line would be:
backupuser ALL=(root)NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/rsync

Of course you should only mount the partition you're backing up to as read
write when you have to. Otherwise it should stay unmounted or at least
mounted read only. The machine you're backing up to should be a single
user machine. A user id 501 on machine A, named 'john', may be a different
user on machine B, there named 'bill'. So if bill logs into machine B (and
if he has user id 501) then he'll be able to see the files from user
'john', in case the backup partition is readable. (That's also why you
should keep it unmounted). Data in backups may e.g. contain mysql
passwords, smtp passwords, etc.

That's not THE ULTIMATE solution, but it works for me and it seems to be
quite efficient. I think the main advantage of that solution is that
you're independent of any backup software except for cp and rsync.

Contact me in case you've got further questions.

On that output, not so much. The output directly below it is a bit
more helpful. Your system seems to think that /usr/lib/bonobo/servers
doesn't exist. You could check to see if it is actually there. It
could also be some multi-arch related issue, since you mention x86_64
and that's the 32bit path.

However as before, you're not really telling us anything overly
useful. You've not mentioned versions of software, whether this is
after you log in or prior to. Which manager you're using (gdm vs kdm)
or which gui where you're seeing this. You're not giving anyone enough
detail to move any real direction to help you.

You've given just about enough information about your problem to get
the typical helldesk response of 'Is your computer ON?'

Lets dig a little deaper...

I am using gnome and gdm.

 bonobo-slay  gives:

Can not open directory /usr/lib/bonobo/servers
No such file or directory

[r...@am2mm ~]# ls /usr/lib/bonobo
ls: /usr/lib/bonobo: No such file or directory


This machine auto logs on, X windows starts and I see this error 
message, a few seconds later
my application starts up as normal .

 rpm -qa | grep bonobo
libbonoboui-2.16.0-1.fc6
libbonobo-2.16.0-1.fc6
libbonoboui-2.16.0-1.fc6
libbonobo-2.16.0-1.fc6
gnome-python2-bonobo-2.16.0-1.fc6

There is a /usr/lib64/bonobo/servers directory.

Why is the 32 bit version starting (it would seem) and how do I stop it?

Thanks,

Jerry

Not sure if anyone mentioned this yet, but you might want to have a

Not sure if it can work over SSH though.  Just read the fine manual to find out.

The xen kernels may need special attention because they have some kABI
tracking-related issues.  I see you are subscribed to the ELRepo
mailing list. Can we take this thread there?  This is because the
subject is now about the elrepo packages and not all ELRepo admins are
reading this CentOS mailing list.

By the way, if you are planning to install Windows XP as a guest (as
you indicated in the original post), I would suggest VirtualBox or
VMware.

Yes, backuppc can work with or without ssh - and besides hard-linking

Luis,

they do not have to be identical to the first pair...

i do not believe you will be able to "hardware" raid 1+0 the the 4 disks

i believe you will have to do it as qty (2) more RAID 1+0 pairs, yet you can
look and see.
 
you could hardware RAID5 the other 4 as well.
 
it all depends on what the HP hardware controller allows you to do and it

[CentOS] What are you doing right?

[Phil Lembo]

I'm a sysadmin by trade, so in my daily work I get to try out all kinds of
new technology including operating systems. Over the last year I've noticed
that many other distros won't run on some of my hardware (e.g. a Thinkpad
T61, Dell E510, GX620) at work and home. But CentOS does. Without fail.
Every time (well, there's that old Dell Inspiron 1200 that sits in the
kitchen... but we won't go there). Last night I had a hard disk crash on one
of my home boxes, so I decided to use it as an opportunity to try out
another well known RHEL clone that is also currently at v5.3. Although the
md5sum on the disk checked out it wouldn't even boot. I then tried their
Live CD. Still no good. So for good measure I tried the latest (v9.x) from
another project (you know, the one with the orange and brown color scheme).
NG.

So the question is, what is CentOS doing *right*?

A very sincere thanks to the CentOS project team for all their hard work in
making a distro I know I can always rely on.

That's a somewhat different scenario.  Backuppc and other hardlink 
backup tools maintain a history with snapshot copies at configurable 
intervals so you can restore things even if you don't notice a problem 
until later.  DRBD is a live replication of only the current contents. 
If, for example, someone accidentally deletes your source code 
repository or an important database, it would be gone immediately on the 
copy too.

On another list someone recommended Duplicity.  It will do incremental
backups and encrypt them using GPG, so they will also be compressed as
well as encrypt.  You can then store and maintain your backup repository
on a third party repository and not have to worry about security.  It's
encrypted at the point of origin, so it's compressed and secured before
it ever leaves you system.  Only downside that I can see is that it uses
tar format so it can not preserve extended attributes.  But it would
have no trouble with hard links.

http://www.nongnu.org/duplicity/

== 
"Duplicity backs directories by producing encrypted tar-format volumes
and uploading them to a remote or local file server. Because duplicity
uses librsync, the incremental archives are space efficient and only
record the parts of files that have changed since the last backup.
Because duplicity uses GnuPG to encrypt and/or sign these archives, they
will be safe from spying and/or modification by the server... In theory
many protocols for connecting to a file server could be supported; so
far ssh/scp, local file access, rsync, ftp, HSI, WebDAV, and Amazon S3
have been written."

Do step 1 (or drop it into /etc/rpm/macros.local so it applies to all users)

then remove the i386 versions of those packages (they should now be
visible as libbonoboui-2.16.0-1.fc6.i386 etc).

[CentOS] waiting IOs...

[John Doe]

Hi,

We have a storage server (HP DL360G5 + MSA20 (12 disks in RAID 6) on a 
SmartArray6400).
10 directories are exported through nfs to 10 clients 
(rsize=32768,wsize=32768,soft,intr,nosuid,proto=udp,vers=3).
The server is apparently not doing much but... we have very high waiting IOs.

dstat show very little activity, but high 'wai'...

Do you think nfs is the problem here?
If so, is there something wrong with our config?
Is it too much to have 10 dir x 10 clients, even if there is almost no traffic?

Thx,

How about running iostat -x ? Sounds like the system is doing a lot

For me CentOS is just a better choice. I prefer stability to "cutting
edge" -- even for my desktop computers (I don't have any servers).
I've tried several versions of Fedora -- liked the earlier versions,
thought versions 7 through 9 were a bit too "cutting edge," but am
impressed with 10 and 11. Still, due to the nature of Fedora, you've
got a *lot* of upgrades and I think that would beat me down after a
while. If CentOS (or Scientific Linux) didn't exist, I would probably
use Fedora.

You might want to set yourself up with a performance monitoring system
like Munin to give you more extensive data, as well.

If you get that far, you'll find the iostat plugin to be a bit lacking
- I've written a more useful one that I'd be happy to share.

This has very little to do with the number of clients or directories,
except that in general terms more users = more work.  If the workload
is highly random and not easily cached, you could be seeing low
throughput but also IOPS starvation.  Does 12 disks in Raid6 mean 10
data disks?  That's not a lot at all, especially if it is an array
that doesn't do much abstraction; any given block will only exist in
on a single spindle, creating potential for hot spots if we are
talking large sized disks.

Can you do any analysis of the array, specifically looking for hot
disks, busy disks, high latencies, etc?  Do you know what your
baseline should be for this array versus your 10 client workload?

Jim,

I removed the (2) packages that were i386.
I rebooted the box and the same message pops up.
I logged back in and did:

 rpm -qa | grep bonobo
libbonobo-2.16.0-1.fc6.x86_64
libbonoboui-2.16.0-1.fc6.x86_64
gnome-python2-bonobo-2.16.0-1.fc6.x86_64


So now only the 64bit packages are present. (note: I did rpm -e --nodeps 
package to remove the 32 bit ones)

I then did:
 bonobo-slay

Can not open directory /usr/lib/bonobo/servers
No such file or directory

Does it still think its 32 bit based on the directory given?
What might the next step be?

Thanks,

Jerry

as others have said, iostat -x N  for an N like 5 (5 seconds).   ignore 
the first sample as its the average since boot, instead, look at the 
ongoing 5 second interval samples, and look for high await, svctm, and 
%util, as well as the rrqm/s and wrqm/s numbers, rather than sec/s, as 
sequential access is likely the least of your problems.raid6 does 
pretty poorly on heavy random write workloads

Also, IBM has a neat freeware system analysis tool called NMON 
(originally for AIX, ported to Linux)
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-analyze_aix/ works 
sorta like a souped up 'top' but has per file system IO stats and stuff 
too.   it can also accumulate stats over a long period into a CSV file, 
and they have an excel spreadsheet that loads said CSV file and cranks 
out a lot of fairly useful graphs.dunno if the excel spreadsheet 
works in OOcalc or not.

For me CentOS is just a better choice. I prefer stability to "cutting

I've tried several versions of Fedora -- liked the earlier versions,
thought versions 7 through 9 were a bit too "cutting edge," but am
impressed with 10 and 11. Still, due to the nature of Fedora, you've
got a *lot* of upgrades and I think that would beat me down after a
while. If CentOS (or Scientific Linux) didn't exist, I would probably
use Fedora.

  

I'm using CentOS with reason same as You, I'm isn't beta tester and
won't using tester on productive servers. But sometimes i'm using
Fedora repos for upgrade some packages.

bad idea (nodeps)...
you should probably reinstall them and then either leave them, or remove 
whatever depends on them. Otherwise chances are whatever depends on them 
will be broken on your system.
It's not related to your current problem, but maybe to one of your next 
posts to the list ;-)

/usr/bin/bonobo-slay is a perl script, clearly buggy wrt 64-bit (that 
path is hard-coded).
I have no idea what it does, bonobo is a monkey to me, but you could try 
fixing that script. You might also consider filing a bug somewhere.
Whether fixing the script would solve your problem is another 
question... But it may be worth a try.

I suspect it is the non-CentOS repos that are causing the hang (?).

You might want to check that by running:

yum update --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=base,extras,updates

and see if this one runs fine.

Please let me know your estimate?
Im sure with my drbd.conf and i don't get any message about drbd both on 
dmesg and message.
I concern with this error message:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/drbd start
Starting DRBD resources: Can not load the drbd module.

Indicate if DRBD module not loaded by kernel, may be missing module or 
anything i don't know..., what do you think?

[CentOS] bonding driver with arp detection

[nate]

Hello -

Was wondering if anyone is running the bonding network driver in
active/backup mode using arp_validate?

I'm trying to deal with really crappy network switches from Dell
and I thought I could work around their faults in the short term
by switching from link monitoring to arp monitoring. But I ran
into a situation just now that seems even arp monitoring isn't
enough.

This is my config for the system:

CentOS 5.2 base
2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 kernel (I think it's a 5.3 kernel)

Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.2.4 (January 28, 2008)

Bonding Mode: fault-tolerance (active-backup)
Primary Slave: None
Currently Active Slave: eth1
MII Status: up
MII Polling Interval (ms): 0
Up Delay (ms): 0
Down Delay (ms): 0
ARP Polling Interval (ms): 1000
ARP IP target/s (n.n.n.n form): 10.16.1.1, 10.16.1.254

Slave Interface: eth0
MII Status: up
Link Failure Count: 2
Permanent HW addr: 00:21:9b:8d:f1:0c

Slave Interface: eth1
MII Status: up
Link Failure Count: 1


--

Both IPs are supposed to be redundant, .1 is a pair of stacked
piece of shit Dell gigabit switches, the other is a pair of
F5 LTM load balancers.

System had been running fine for about the past 9 days since I
enabled this stuff, and then for some reason could no longer
talk to 10.16.1.254, looking at tcpdump I saw the system almost
flooding the link for arp requests for that address and maybe
getting one in 10 answered. Communication with 10.16.1.1 was
fine by contrast. 40 other systems on the same LAN communicate
with both addresses constantly so I know both were more or
less OK, it was something with the switch itself(have seen
behavior on multiple Dell switches where they decide to stop
forwarding traffic, which is what prompted me to switch from
link monitoring to arp monitoring)

At the time the system was running on eth0, so I brought that
interface down and it immediately failed over to eth1 and
things were ok again. I have since failed it back to eth0 and
things are still fine.

What I'd like to do if possible is configure the bonding driver
to fail if either of the arp attempts fails, as far as I can
see the default is even if 1 succeeds then the driver thinks it's
ok. Looking at the arp_validate option it seems it only applies
to slaves, not to the active link.

Is there any thing I can do to make the driver fail if even one
of the two addresses is not responding?

I have noticed that in some cases the fail over does work, checking
several systems they all have at least 1 link failure detected
for each interface.

Longer term my goal is to replace the switches entirely, been
pushing that for about a month now.

just goes to show you get what you pay for when you buy crap
equipment(wasn't my idea), sigh.

thanks

nate

This will get things back to standard repos only.

But if you have already loaded an incompatible package  from a
nonstandard repo, this will not fix it.

Rather than trying to figure out what you have and how to fix it,
it may be easier to start over an build a new system from scratch.

You can probably get the 3rd party repos to play nicer with one another
by using yum-priorities.

There are techniques for finer grained management of
compatiblity issues among repositories, that I have never
needed to learn about.  Someday this is going to sneak
up and bite me.

Pretty sure there is a 3rd party repo page in the centos wiki.

I've never heard of some of these repos.

epel wants to be the only 3rd party repo,
and sometimes there are issues with other 3rd party repos

The NTFS code in the 5.3 kernel is broken (see
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3363 ).  A couple of solutions are
given in that bug tracker.  One is to follow the instructions in
http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/NTFS and the other is to use
kABI-tracking kernel module kmod-ntfs from the ELRepo site (
http://elrepo.org ).

Summary : A script to help thwart ssh server attacks
Description :
DenyHosts is a Python script that analyzes the sshd server log
messages to determine which hosts are attempting to hack into your
system. It also determines what user accounts are being targeted. It
keeps track of the frequency of attempts from each host and, upon
discovering a repeated attack host, updates the /etc/hosts.deny file
to prevent future break-in attempts from that host.  Email reports can
be sent to a system admin.

Hmmm still not seeing a repo. No doubt I could find some version
of an rpm at http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/, but can I be sure it
is identical to the one on the centos repos?

If (Vendor == Fedora Project) then repo is epel
if (Vendor == Centos) then repo is Centos
if (Vendor == Dag Apt Repository) repo is rpmforge

At least this seems to be the case for a small random sampling I did on
my system (I 'cheated' -- I have a pile of RPMs sitting in their proper
places under /var/cache/yum/...).

I think this is the clue I needed. I also have such a pile, and
although it is not complete (wouldn't even need to know repo then, I'd
have all the rpms already), it should be sufficient to
reverse-engineer a map from vendors to repos. I'd forgotten that
directory was organized by source repo.

Side problem - I just have too many repos, I am probably asking for
trouble. At least I am running the priorities addon, which may save me
most of the time.

Could you show us the output from:

rpm -qa --qf "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n" kernel\* | sort

rpm -qa --qf "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n" | grep drbd

uname -mri

no need to run the next command)

 Thanks Alan,

 This is error message when start service DRBD
 $ sudo /etc/init.d/drbd start
 Starting DRBD resources: Can not load the drbd module.

 I don't get any error message, and i think problem is DRBD kernel
 module, not ??

So, if you run 'uname -a', do you see kernel 2.6.18-128.1.16.el5PAE
running?  I'm betting not, I'm betting you have installed the module for
that PAE kernel but you're running the 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 kernel, and
that's why you can't find the module.

Well its not from CentOS so I doubt it would be.in their repos. The
package says its a Fedora package and from the GPG signature it is an
EPEL package.
The denyhosts-2.6-5.el5.src.rpm would be where the source code for the
package is.

The Key ID is what will distinguish which package is from what repository

119cc036217521f6 is EPEL
rpm -q gpg-pubkey --provides

gpg(Fedora EPEL ) = 4:119cc036217521f6-45e8a532
gpg(217521f6) = 4:119cc036217521f6-45e8a532

So, you do not have the kmod-drbd package.  Try:

yum install kmod-drbd83

It should install kmod-drbd83-PAE-8.3.2-6.el5_3 .

[CentOS] trouble playing quicktimes at apple.com/trailers

[fred smith]

I've been able to view the movie trailers at apple.com/trailers for years
on my old Centos box (5.3).

so in July I built a new box and also used Centos 5.3. I recall being able
to view them on the new box too, back in July.

now, none of them work on either the old or new box. Firefox by default
uses mplayer for this purpose. mplayer starts up, says it's playing it
displays the url on the screen for about a half second then stops.
over and over again.

I should have all the right plugins since it's worked before.

Is anyone else having trouble with that? or to ask another way, can any
of you still watch them?

Thanks!

A problem I had was that I didn't have binutils installed (gave an
error about not being able to find nm, but still "installed" the
package); you might make sure you do have binutils, and if not, remove
kmod-drbd83*, install binutils, then reinstall the appropriate kmod(s)
(I believe the -PAE one is the right one for you based on what you
reported later in the thread).

binutils should probably be a Requires: in these kmod rpms?

Generally, there is a mapping from Vendor to repo and mostly this

 Alan,
 Please let me know your estimate?
 Im sure with my drbd.conf and i don't get any message about drbd both on 
 dmesg and message.
 I concern with this error message:
 $ sudo /etc/init.d/drbd start
 Starting DRBD resources: Can not load the drbd module.

 Indicate if DRBD module not loaded by kernel, may be missing module or 
 anything i don't know..., what do you think?

Based on this and earlier emails, it appears you've got a lot of
confusion on where the modules are installed.  Your running kernel is
2.6.18-128.7.1.el5PAE, but the module is installed under
2.6.18-128.1.16.el5PAE (an older kernel).

First suggestion is remove the kmod-drbd modules you've previously
installed (perhaps before a kernel update?) and reinstall the
kmod-drbd83-PAE package.  Try:

yum remove kmod-drbd83-xen kmod-drbd83-PAE kmod-drbd83
yum install kmod-drbd83-PAE
