Re: [CentOS] Update update failed on filesystem-2.4.0-3.el5.x86_64

2010-07-01 Thread Bond Masuda
I believe the filesystem RPM basically owns all the main directories on the
system. One of them being /media. I suspect you have something mounted on
/media, and since installing filesystem will try to create /media, that
results in an error it wasn't expecting.

can you umount /media and try again? I think that would allow 'filesystem'
to complete its install process

Thank you very much for the help, didn't realized /media was still mounted.

[CentOS] GNBD/LVM problem

2010-07-01 Thread Kwan Lowe
Hello all:

I'm having a strange problem with GNBD and LVM on two fully updated
CentOS 5.5 x86_64 systems.

On node1, I have exported a gnbd volume.

   lvcreate -L 500M -n mirrortest_lv01 mirrorvg
   gnbd_serv
   gnbd_export  -d /dev/mirrorvg/mirrortest_lv01 -e node1_lv01

On node2 I have imported the volume:

   gnbd_import -i node1

Next, on node2 I attempt to create a mirrored LV with the imported
GNBD volume and a local disk:

   fdisk /dev/gnbd/node1_lv01  then create an LVM partition
   fdisk /dev/sdb then create an LVM partition

I can then create a volume group with those two disks:
   pvs
   vgcreate mirrorvg /dev/sdb1 /dev/gnbd0

The problem occurs when I try to create a mirrored LV using the above VG.

  [r...@vm-helios-002 ~]# lvcreate --mirrorlog core  -L 256M -n
mirroredlv01 -m 1 mirrortestvg
  Insufficient suitable allocatable extents for logical volume : 64
more required
  Unable to allocate extents for mirror(s).

It doesn't matter what disk sizes are available. Even creating a
non-mirrored LV causes issues:

[r...@vm-helios-002 ~]# lvcreate   -L 256M -n mirroredlv01  mirrortestvg
  Error locking on node 192.168.8.152: device-mapper: create ioctl
failed: Device or resource busy
  Error locking on node 192.168.8.151: Volume group for uuid not
found: xCTR5M2kOEBiLM7eSRntez2y2VKy9vvqnSs6LTC99x9kIsAdNI2l8CH90h6BYKsH
  Aborting. Failed to activate new LV to wipe the start of it.
[r...@vm-helios-002 ~]#


The other issue that's occurring is that even if I remove the GNBD PV
from the mirrortestvg, it still gives the error (i.e., using just
local disk).

Not sure where to look at this point. I suspect it has something to do
with the cluster locking, but the configuration is really basic and
specifies no clustered volumes.

[CentOS] ntp server

2010-07-01 Thread Jerry Geis
I have a need to run a centos server CUT-off from any connected network.
So the NTP server that is running on this very small network cannot 
connect to
any other site to do what NTP does.

however, I have devices on this small network that I wish to use the 
centos server
as the time source and run ntpd.

However - it seems like ntpd server does not like to run this way.
There is a LONG delay before it finally says OK - no one to talk to so 
I'll just give
the time anyway. Then things start working.

Is there some method to SKIP this long delay??? It seems like its 15 or 
20 minutes.
I need to bypass that delay or tell ntpd "I dont care about others time" 
just provide the time you have.

Thanks,

Jerry

Maybe you already had the dependencies installed for something else. 
What I'm seeing is that I already had an older version of
xulrunner-devel installed without all of the dependencies and then when
I do an update to the newer version, I get an extra 43 dependencies.


Since I don't need it (AFAIK), I just removed the package and that
solved (or at least worked around) the problem.  But it still doesn't
make sense.  A new version of a package sometimes has a few new
dependencies, but 43 is a bit much.

N.B. Windows does not (easily) speak ntp with a *real* ntp client,

/etc/ntp.conf

server 127.127.1.0
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10

N.B. stuff that goes in /etc/ntp.conf to keep the clocks secure is

None, they are all devel packages.  Actually, now that I take a closer
look, the main dependencies are:

freetype-devel
startup-notification-devel
pango-devel
libgnome-devel
libXt-devel
gtk2-devel
libjpeg-devel
libgnomeui-devel
libIDL-devel
libXrender-devel
gnome-vfs2-devel
alsa-lib-devel
libnotify-devel

Then these start pulling in their own dependencies and I wind up with a
list of 43 new packages being installed for dependencies.  I just find
this really strange since none of these were required for the previous
version.

You can get an assortment of devices that receive time signals from 
satellites to act as good authoritative time sources on your private 
network if you are willing to spend some money.  If you just want to 
fake it, I think the trick is to lower the stratum number in the 'fudge' 
setting in ntpd.conf.

That is quite interesting. I guess the question next is : was the
machine in a state where all deps resolved cleanly before you attempted
the install ?

Although, the new xul ad firefox update were a major step forward.

[CentOS] NIC config documentation?

2010-07-01 Thread Les Mikesell
Does anyone have a favorite howto or other succinct document that that 
describes how to set up networking on a multi-nic host when you don't 
know ahead of time which nic is which?   I usually muddle through it by 
plugging in one wire at a time, using mii-tool to see which link is up, 
then ifconfig on that interface to get the HWaddr to put in the 
corresponding /etc/sysconfig/network-scipts/ifcfg-eth? file.  But now I 
need to train some other people how to do it and it seems like there 
should be a better way.

As far as I know, these machines had everything installed cleanly via
yum.  And all of my 5.x systems show the same behavior.

That may explain it.  That's basically why I was asking here.  I saw two
options -- either the package had been legitimately updated with the new
deps, or it was a packaging error that added in some extraneous deps.

I have tried dropping the stratum to 2,1 and 0 - did notice any effect

Try setting it like this:

   fudge   127.127.1.0 stratum 10
   server 127.127.1.0 prefer

And make sure that there are no other "server" lines in the config.  I
haven't tried this myself, but if you don't have any other servers
listed, then it shouldn't waste any time waiting on them.

First, have you tried booting with the second one, or do you require xen?

Second, I find it odd, since the kernel I have with 5.5 is
2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 (well, the initial install gave me 2.6.18-194.el5, but
this was the first upgrade).

Finally, it's almost as though grub were not correctly installed - have
you checked /boot/grub/device.map?

[CentOS] Kickstart from tagged VLAN?

2010-07-01 Thread Jeff Hefner
I've searched around but haven't found a definitive answer yet, is it possible 
to kickstart from a tagged VLAN? I found this bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431915

But I can't find out how far the vlan support goes. I haven't found anything 
about it in any kickstart docs.

I have two tagged vlans:

Vlan 100 - server subnet
Vlan 101 - backup subnet 

>From start to finish anaconda needs to pick up a dynamic address from vlan

I dunno how you'd get the BIOS to do a PXE boot off a vlan.

Set the port to vlan 100 untagged and when the installation is done, 
switch it back tagged - assuming your kickstart script sets up the vlans...

[CentOS] Scripting for Centos security advisory database

2010-07-01 Thread Fajar Priyanto
Hi all,
Where can I find Centos Security Advisory database? The one that I
believe similar with RHSA?
2ndly, is there any script available to check if there's any CESA
against my installed Centos?
Thank you very much.

I remember running into this a while ago. I think most multi-layer 
switches can have a default VLAN that untagged packets will go to. Check 
the docs for your switch.
