[CentOS] Kickstart mdraid on two disks, from usb key detected as sda instead of sdc...
Hi, I am trying to adapt my kickstart usb key to optionally auto-setup mdraid on two disks... But I have one server that keeps attaching the usb key to sda instead of sdc... My kickstart creates the raid devices on sdb and sdc partitions; but then I expect it not to work once the key is unplugged and the disks fall back to sda and sdb... Can I just modify mdadm.conf at the end, just before rebooting? What about grub? Thx, JD ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

For those systems that are important enough that I need immediate security updates I buy a RHEL license. It's those one-off systems behind the firewall that I use CentOS for. No point in buying an expensive license for an instant messenging server. IPtables is setup to block all non-application traffic, so the risks are low.

[CentOS] PDF Reader/Editor for CentOS 5.7 (32 bit)?
I had, in the past, a .pdf reader that also permitted me to fill in some information, when I received a .pdf file. I have KPDF installed, but that seems to only have Reader capability.

Then, if I try to yum install libXm.so.4 I get this error: No package libXm.so.4 available. Received a contract via email and I would like to add some information and send it back via email.

Can't see it in the i386 repo. Looks like something is broken for 5.7/base i386? The i386 version of the package is present in the x86_64 repo though... So you can get it from there. You can even get a newer version than the one included in 5.7/base, by going to 5.6/updates in the vault. I guess this one will end up in 5.6/updates at some point.

I think what the OP wants is a program that can deal with the Adobe's 'Fill In Form' type of PDF. The PDF Toolkit (I have pdftk-1.12-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm on my system -- for CentOS 4 and don't know if a el5 version exists) has a CLI program that can do this (you need to dump the form information and create a FDF file). Otherwise, I believe Adobe's Reader is the only program available that does this with a GUI. I don't believe xpdf can do this and what OpenOffice / LibreOffice do is something else (an import of the PDF in the writer tool as a word processing document or something, which can then be edited and re-exported as a PDF). > ___ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 / hel...@deepsoft.com Deepwoods Software-- http://www.deepsoft.com/ () ascii ribbon campaign -- against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org -- against proprietary attachments ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The PDF Toolkit (I have I was assuming that a) the form is a fill-in-certain-fields type form, not that he wanted to edit the form itself, and b) that he had some reason for not wanting Adobe Reader on his system, which of course allows you to fill in the blanks. Our answer to saving that, which Adobe doesn't want you to do, is to print it to the pdfprinter driver.

[CentOS] Finding i/o bottleneck
Hi list ! We have a very busy webserver hosted in a clustered environment where the document root and data is on a GFS2 partition off a fiber-attached disk array. Now on busy moments, I can see in htop, nmon that there is a fair percentage of cpu that is waiting for I/O. In nmon, I can spot that the most busy block device correspond to our gfs2 partition where many times, it shows that it's 100% busy and is read all along. Now, I want to know what files are being waited for. With lsof I can get a listing of open files, but it doesn't gives me if a file is just opended in ram or if it's being waited for... What tools besides lsof, nmon, htop, atop can help me find that info ? I am under RHEL/CentOS 6.1. Thanks ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Installation of 6.0
Some observations. When I installed 6.0 (base install), the installation interface did not guide me through a network configuration. I do static IP addresses, not DHCP. I ended up manually configuring the various /etc/sysconfig files. I forgot to do the GATEWAY configuration and it took me awhile to figure out why I wasn't able to connect to the server from outside the LAN. I also forgot to do the DNS settings. It's deja-vu all over again, going back to the older Red Hat Linux distros. Anyway, I wasn't able to find a configuration program like "netconfig" to help me out. Seems like a pretty big omission. Any thoughts? Am I missing something? === Al ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

IIRC, it's in this small unobstrusive rectangular box that says "Setup Networking" or something like that in the lower left corner in the screen that ask for hostname. I'm not sure if this was the way upstream or adjustments made by the CentOS devs, but I'm guessing that the assumption is most people are going for DHCP-based installs so it saves some time. > Anyway, I wasn't able to find a configuration program like "netconfig" to > help me out.

No doubt... assuming that you used anaconda to interactively guide you through the install (the default - not kickstart), after the installation completed and the computer restarts, you should have been led through 'firstboot' which would have you configure: - time (date/time/timezone/time server) - security (iptables firewall) - selinux - networking - static or dynamic - hostname - dns resolution (/etc/resolv.conf) - hosts (/etc/hosts) - users - authentication - create the first user (non-root) Guessing that you didn't look/watch the console on first boot but rather used ssh to connect from another station.

On my RHEL 6.1 system, on firstboot with a non-GUI console a curses-based (or a reasonable facsimile of a curses-based) text-mode configurator came up, and allowed me to configure networking and a number of other items. Do an install without GUI (not necessarily a minimal install, but a server install) and see what comes up on first boot.

Re: [CentOS] Finding i/o bottleneck
Hi Nicolas, While this doesn't exactly answer your question, I was wondering what scheduler you were using on your GFS2 (Note: I have not used this file system before) block. You can find this by issuing 'cat /sys/block//queue/scheduler' ? By default the system uses cfq, which will show up as [cfq] when catting the scheduler as I showed above. This is not the most optimal scheduler for a webserver. In most cases you'd be better off with deadline or noop. Not being familiar with GFS2 myself, I did skim this article, which makes me think noop would be the better choice: http://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-cluster/2010-June/msg00027.html This could be why you are seeing the processes waiting on I/O.

I have been using Red Hat and derivations (WBL, CentOS, Fedora) since 1998 and the last few years it has been harder and harder to justify waiting for everyone to get their act together on a new release. My current employer and previous employer both stopped using RHEL/CentOS for new installs in favor of Ubuntu and now so have I. It is Linux after all and it is reasonable to use it and it works well. I don't have to justify the shortcomings of lack of timely security updates. I don't have to worry about 'long term support' I have a simpler path for version upgrades (apt-get dist-upgrade) Their documentation is often quite good. I certainly appreciate CentOS rescuing me from the drift that was WBL some 6 years ago and they generally delivered in a timely fashion. Version 6 however made it clear to me that it was time to move on. I'm only maintaining the CentOS 5 boxes at this point and at some point, they will be replaced.
