Now back to fixing the SELinux configuration on a machine I had to put in 'permissive' mode a few weeks ago because the last round of SELinux updates broke the web server's ability to open its own log files.

And under most circumstances, it does. The problem is that under some conditions, while the boot config is updated with the new kernel information, the default= line is changed so that it points at the old kernel rather than the new one. So far, we don't fully understand why this happens. My theory is that it has something to do with manually creating the config file. I have not tested this yet, but I would guess that if you removed the comments at the top of the grub.conf file and then did a kernel update, you would see this behavior. -- Bowie ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Multipathing with Sun 7310
Dear list, we have a relatively new Sun Storage 7310, where we connect CentOS 5.5 Servers (IBM LS21/LS41 Blades) via Brocade Switches, 4GBit FC. The Blades boot from SAN via qla2xxx, and have no harddisks at all. We want them to use multipathing from the very beginning, so /boot and / are already seen by multipathd. Problem is, that the Sun 7310 has two storage heads which run in active/passive mode. BUT the multipathd thinks, they are active/active and therefor shows half the available paths as faulty (multipath -ll below) While this probably gives me the redundancy that is desired, it is a relatively messy situation, since it will be unnecessary hard to detect real path failures and the OS is complaining about "readsector0 checker reports path is down" which gives me >40M/24h /var/log/messages garbage. Any hints for a reasonable configuration? Unfortunately the Sun 7310 is rather new, so almost nothing shows up on google... even less for RHEL/CentOS :-( regards from Berlin Jens [r...@dev-db1 tmp]# multipath -ll sdaa: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdab: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdac: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdad: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdd: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdh: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdl: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdp: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdq: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdr: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sds: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdt: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdu: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdv: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdx: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdz: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" mpath0 (3600144f0fdf58b5c4bc738070001) dm-0 SUN,Sun Storage 7310 [size=50G][features=0][hwhandler=0][rw] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][active] \_ 0:0:1:0 sda 8:0[active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][enabled] \_ 1:0:0:0 sde 8:64 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][enabled] \_ 0:0:2:0 sdi 8:128 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][enabled] \_ 1:0:1:0 sdm 8:192 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled] \_ 0:0:3:0 sdq 65:0 [failed][faulty] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled] \_ 1:0:2:0 sdr 65:16 [failed][faulty] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled] \_ 0:0:4:0 sdx 65:112 [failed][faulty] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled] \_ 1:0:3:0 sdz 65:144 [failed][faulty] ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I guess I don't understand because I have not had to relabel entire filesystems unless I have disabled SELinux and have never experienced an update that 'broke' things on CentOS (Fedora is a different issue but that is more experimental). Most of the people I see griping about SElinux just don't want to be bothered with it and just turn it off or they are forced to use it and don't spend the time learning the tools. It's relatively simple to set file contexts or policy and I just don't see the downtime being a factor anywhere.

Hello Jens,
looks like your multipathing setup is using multibus path_grouping_policy.
Did you create a custom /etc/multipath.conf? You should have. As your
device is new and not known with proper defaults by the
device-mapper-multipath you will have to set the path_grouping_policy
explicitly.
devices {
device {
vendor "SUN"
product "Sun Storage 7310"<== REMARK
path_grouping_policy failover
getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n"
prio_callout "/sbin/mpath_prio_rdac /dev/%n"
features "0"
hardware_handler "1 rdac"
path_grouping_policy group_by_prio
failback immediate
rr_weight uniform
no_path_retry queue
rr_min_io 1000
path_checker rdac
}
}
REMARK: to detect the proper product name issue for instance:
cat /sys/block/sda/device/model
Restart the multipathd after editing the multipath.conf and I expect
`multipath -ll" or `multipathd -k"show paths"' will show you the paths
correctly weighted.
Regards
Alexander

Re: [CentOS] Multipathing with Sun 7310
Hi Alexander,

I added "path_grouping_policy failover" because of your message. I also
noticed, you have path_grouping_policy specified twice; is this on
purpose?
Also, when I activate 'hardware_handler "1 rdac"', the box does not boot
any more with some rdac driver error message that I can catch since it
scrolls by fast...
with the above multipath.conf it gets even stranger:

[CentOS] Firefox slower on GMail since update to CentOS 5.5
Hello, since I upgraded from CentOS x86_64 5.4 to 5.5, I noticed that Firefox has become significantly slower on GMail (or Google Apps Mail). The page becomes slow to scroll as soon as there are more than a few mails in a conversation (like in a typical CentOS mailing list thread). Did anyone else notice that as well? (I guess that I'm not the only GMail user around) Could I have missed something / do something wrong? More details: - I did a fresh install from the 5.5 install DVD, keeping only the home directories - I'm using the Nvidia driver from elrepo (but I had the pb also with the default driver) Cheers, Mathieu ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If I had junior admins who could spend weeks doing testing of every update before deployment, twice as many physical machines as I now have so I could deploy dozens of VMs _just for testing updates_ (and let's not even begin to discuss the non-virtualizable machines such as the backups storage servers) , an extra co-location rack to put those additional servers in, and the budget to fix any emergent SELinux breakage, then, yeah, that would work.

To: CentOS mailing list Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" I?ve google and searched, and have had very little luck... I have: 1. Installed all the packages. 2. Configured and have running OpenLDAP. 3. Migrated my passwd/shadow/group/hosts files into the directory 4. Tested the directory using ldapsearch 5. Installed LAM (web interface to LDAP authentication) 6. Added a user using LAM. 7. Confirmed user is in directory. 8. Confirmed user is not in /etc/passwd 9. Confirmed using ?getent passwd | grep username? that the user is listed. 10. Confirmed using ?getent passwd? shows two records for each user except ldap-only users (one for /etc/passwd, one for LDAP). However, ?id username? Returns unknown user Assuming you have set up both server and client, I would try the following: 1) Don't use nscd until you can confirm basic auth to the Ldap server is working. 2) Enable logging on the Ldap server. Afair, CentOS defaults to loglevel 0, which is no logs. Try something like loglevel 256. 3) Try to authenticate from a client while tailing the server logs. That should give you an idea of whether the client is even reaching the server, and if so what sort of error is occurring. Btw you didn't mention if you were doing Ldap over tls, but that adds another point of failure.

AIUI, nvidia gives (to the linux world) less information about how to exploit nvidia capabilities than does ATI, and that the linux world is not ignoring information proffered by nvidia. How then is it that linux is intentionally incompatible with nvidia and other software? Or do you refer to driver versioning?

I'm running the nvidia driver dkms-nvidia-x11-drv-185.18.14-1.nodist.rf.x86_64 from Oct 22, 2009, and IIRC it has survived the 5.4 and 5.5 updates without any problems at all. Perhaps that's because dkms rebuilds the driver for each new kernel, but even so, the interfaces can't have changed too much if they still build and work. When I was working on the Linux kernel directly, one of the least likely areas of change was the driver interface, precisely because changes at this level are detrimental to all new driver development and old driver compatibility. The driver API is fairly well established and less likely to change than most other fly-by-night (i.e., M$) OSs. Even the proprietary versions of UNIX don't mess with this (much). They may be different, but they aren't too variable. Thus, I find this claim difficult to believe. Do you have examples? Proof?

Those are for things that are separate programs, not something that becomes part of the kernel (or any other thing with a gpl'd component). Drivers are sort of a gray area.

The default should (a) only accept connections from localhost (127.0.0.1), and (b) even when you remove that restriction should only accept messages where the server is the final destination unless it is from a source explicitly permitted in the access file. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Replacement tape drive configuration
CentOS 4.8 Hi All: We recently had a Sony SDX-500V tape drive fail on one of our servers running CentOS 4.8. I have now replaced it with a spare SDX-500C. The problem that I am having now is that the failed drive had ceased responding to SCSI commands and we have since rebooted the system which resulted in the tape drive being removed from our current hardware configuration and the system does not recognize the new tape drive. I know that I can just reboot the system and kudzu will add the tape drive back in during the boot process however I was wondering if it would be possible to manually run kudzu to add the drive or am I just "borrowing trouble" by trying to do this?

From what I've seen, tape drives use the generic tape driver and get mapped to /dev/stX. Ryan Manikowski ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I was looking for a way to add the drive without having to do a reboot. Brian's suggestion has worked and I am now using the tape drive without having to do a reboot.

Re: [CentOS] Multipathing with Sun 7310
On Thu, 27 May 2010, Jens Neu wrote: Dear list, we have a relatively new Sun Storage 7310, where we connect CentOS 5.5 Servers (IBM LS21/LS41 Blades) via Brocade Switches, 4GBit FC. The Blades boot from SAN via qla2xxx, and have no harddisks at all. We want them to use multipathing from the very beginning, so /boot and / are already seen by multipathd. Problem is, that the Sun 7310 has two storage heads which run in active/passive mode. BUT the multipathd thinks, they are active/active and therefor shows half the available paths as faulty (multipath -ll below) While this probably gives me the redundancy that is desired, it is a relatively messy situation, since it will be unnecessary hard to detect real path failures and the OS is complaining about "readsector0 checker reports path is down" which gives me >40M/24h /var/log/messages garbage. Any hints for a reasonable configuration? Unfortunately the Sun 7310 is rather new, so almost nothing shows up on google... even less for RHEL/CentOS :-( regards from Berlin Jens [r...@dev-db1 tmp]# multipath -ll sdaa: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdab: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdac: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdad: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdd: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdh: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdl: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdp: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdq: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdr: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sds: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdt: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdu: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdv: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdx: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdz: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" mpath0 (3600144f0fdf58b5c4bc738070001) dm-0 SUN,Sun Storage 7310 [size=50G][features=0][hwhandler=0][rw] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][active] \_ 0:0:1:0 sda 8:0 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][enabled] \_ 1:0:0:0 sde 8:64 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][enabled] \_ 0:0:2:0 sdi 8:128 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][enabled] \_ 1:0:1:0 sdm 8:192 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled] \_ 0:0:3:0 sdq 65:0 [failed][faulty] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled] \_ 1:0:2:0 sdr 65:16 [failed][faulty] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled] \_ 0:0:4:0 sdx 65:112 [failed][faulty] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled] \_ 1:0:3:0 sdz 65:144 [failed][faulty] There may be a vendor specific RDAC driver needed to properly interface with the 7310 unit or with the vendor HBA.

This tool maybe is very useful. Because you can use it to connect the LDAP Server for authenticating the users . Bedework is an open-source enterprise calendar system that supports public, personal, and group calendaring. It is designed to conform to current calendaring standards with a goal of attaining strong interoperability between other calendaring systems and clients. Bedework is built with an emphasis on higher education, though it is used by many commercial enterprises. So if the tool can be authenticated the users using the LDAP Server , it maybe very convenient to the enterprise . isn't it ? > HTH > > > > > ___ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
