[CentOS] How to convert /etc/machine-id into a default-duid for IPv6 static DHCP?
Hi,
The use-case is deploying C7 VMs with a pre-set machine-id and
default-duid based on the machine-id to facilitate static DHCP with
IPv6. The default-duid is found in dhclient6--eth0.lease and IPv6
DHCP uses default-duid like IPv4 DHCP uses MAC addresses for static DHCP.
How does one convert /etc/machine-id to a default-duid (in bash)?
1) /etc/machine-id -> DUID:
Use sha256 hash of machine-id, use first 128 bits, add colons and
prepend 00:04:
$ MACHINE_ID_SHA256=`cat /etc/machine_id | sha256sum | cut -c1-32`
$ TMPID=$(sed -e 's/.\{2\}/&:/g;s/.$//' <<<$MACHINE_ID_SHA256)
$ DUID=00:04:`echo $TMPID`
Correct?
2) convert $DUID to a default-duid. Example value of default-duid can be
found in /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient6--eth0.lease.
Will stick the pre-set default-duid in /etc/dhclient6.leases so it gets
picked up by NM once the VM is deployed and started.
So going from e.g.
/etc/machine-id 52d8c0f2a04a462a9c9ac1a906446d85
to
duid 00:04:a6:89:54:e8:bf:e2:13:71:82:3d:ea:33:4d:a5:2f:75
to
default-duid ???
example:
default-duid
"\000\004%\011\324\251\274\334\001c\304\366\275\314\220\357\255(";
So how does one create the default-duid from the duid? The default-duid
seems escaped octal with some chars here and there. The NetworkManager
code at [2] that does the duid->default-duid conversion is above my pay
grade. Anyone know how do this conversion preferably in bash?
TIA,
Patrick

[CentOS] Mounting NFS subdirectories individually or just the parent?
Hello, does it in any respect (throughput/performance, cpu load, I/O load, resilience, ...) matter, if one mounts subdirectories of an NFS (v3) export into separate directories or if one just mounts the parent directory? I.e. like this: server:/export/base/a -> /mnt/a server:/export/base/b -> /mnt/b server:/export/base/c -> /mnt/c server:/export/base/d -> /mnt/d server:/export/base/e -> /mnt/e or simply like this: server:/export/base -> /mnt I would guess, that it doesn matter at all, but at $work the standard setup on all cluster nodes is, to mount >20 subdirectories from the NFS server individually and the justification is, that is more performant and reliable. Can this be confirmed (or denied)? I couldn't find this method of "NFS performance tuning" mentioned anywhere and from a management perspective the sheer amount of mounted filesystems makes the list confusing and harder to troubleshoot. Any thoughts? Regards frank ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Mounting NFS subdirectories individually or just the parent?

There are a couple good reasons for splitting up the mounts: 1. They can have different export restrictions (e.g., for different client hosts, ro vs. rw permissions, user squashing). 2. /base/[a-e] live on different RAID arrays and might benefit from different management cycles; that'd also be a case where multiple exports might be a good idea. That said, I've never managed an exported filesystem consisting of different arrays; we've always exported at the RAID level or below. -- Paul Heinlein <> heinl...@madboa.com <> http://www.madboa.com/ ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Mounting NFS subdirectories individually or just the parent?
There is a slight performance related reason for exporting disk partitions individually, the performance boost is server-side as Paul says. The advantage is that the no_subtree_check can be used without any additional security risk. It is probably the case that the /export/base/a is a partition, is exported with no_subtree_check, and therefore there is a small performance boost. Preventing server side mount point traversal can also form part of a security mechanism if servers have different security options for different mount points, but in this case mounting server:/export/base wouldn't give you the same client view of the filesystem tree as mounting each individually if it worked at all.

I have been tearing my hair out with Thunderbird since the latest update. It seems no matter what I do from my gnome2 Application Preferences to tell TB to use my default browser, firefox, pretty much NOTHING happens to links in email unless FF is already open. This new desktop file you referenced here actually works -- well mostly. It at least asks me to choose an app for links and says I can change it through prefences -- well now I can once it's entered SOMETHING. There seems to be NO way to add default app. GRRR! OK, at least this is a start.

[CentOS] LXC containers - systemd takes a long time to start
I've got a CentOS7 server (fully patched) and in it I'm running several LXC containers. I've noticed that whenever I try to launch a service via `systemctl start ` soon after LXC boot, it will take ~5 minutes before the prompt returns. After that initial delay, starting/stopping/restarting services happens immediately. It might be that this happens because the server is running a large number of (>20) containers. On next reboot, I'll see if it has the same problem when I have just one container. In the meantime, anyone else seen similar behavior? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
