Re: [CentOS] Lenovo M900 with CentOS 7 strangeness

2017-03-03 Thread SZ, Zsolt
Dear Walter,

thanks for your answer. I did not touch any settings between installation
and the final system. That what confused me. There was no change at all
between working and non working USB state just a simple reboot.

To make things more complex. First time, when failed, I installed from
external USB single sided DVD media. I have another M900 machine. Now I
made a USB pendrive installer from double sided DVD media (called
everything). And now it is working. The two machines is exactly the same
based on the serial numbers, checked on Lenovo site, but I have seen some
difference between BIOS settings. No idea why. Now I try to investigate
what is "problem" with the first machine. And why there is such BIOS
differences.

BR, Zsolt

Yes, this is very easy and the required script is very simple. See

if you're copying the entire device, you do not need to tell it how
many blocks. just use a large-ish blocksize and let 'er rip.

for a single partition, you could use the blocksize and block number
you get from fdisk. you would then need to say /dev/sda4, e.g., instead
of /dev/sda.

when copying an entire drive I tend to use 10M as the blocksize. using
a large blocksize just reduces the number of read operations that are
needed. that's why a very small blocksize could slow down the copy, as
it would require a whole lot more read operations.

I would recommend bs=512 to keep the block sizes the same though not a huge
diff just seems to be happier for some reason and add status=progress if
you would like to monitor how it is doing.  Seems the command you have
should work otherwise.

The dd blocksize has nothing to do with the disk sector size.

the disk sector size is the number of bytes in a minimal read/write
operation (because the physical drive can't manipulate anything smaller).

the dd blocksize is merely the number of bytes read/written in a
single read/write operation. (or not bytes, but K, or Kb, or other
depending on the options you use.)

It makes sense for the bs option in dd to be a multiple of the actual
disk block/sector size, but isn't even required. if you did dd with a
block size of, e.g., 27, it would still work, it'd just be stupidly slow.

Kind of wondered about that.

So the blocks reported by fdisk is what I should use as the count,
as that matches the drive's real block size?

thanks

Well, I only wanted to copy the used part of the drive which I try to 
keep small so I can still copy the image to an mSD card if I wish.  So I 
have to supply the amount of the drive to copy.  The bs=512 went fast 
enough, but then I was only copying 3.2GB.

[CentOS] New C7 kernel ABI and kmods

2017-03-03 Thread Lamar Owen

All,

This is just a heads-up that the new C7 update kernel breaks ABI 
compatibility, at least as far as using the ELrepo nVidia drivers is 
concerned.  I have posted more details to the ELrepo list; but since 
many folks use the Elrepo kmods I thought a heads-up would be appropriate.


If you use the ELrepo nvidia kmod you will either need to hold off on 
the kernel update or uninstall the nvidia kmod.

The following worked:

# dd if=/dev/sdb of=cubietruck.img bs=512 count=6268927

6268927+0 records in
6268927+0 records out
3209690624 bytes (3.2 GB, 3.0 GiB) copied, 114.435 s, 28.0 MB/s

So bs= IS the drive blocksize.

This is the result of trying a number of different values for bs and 
count.


You can set bs to a multiple of 512 and it will go a lot faster.  If I 
have to use raw dd for cloning, I will factor the count all the way down 
to primes, and multiply the blocksize by all of the factors up to the 
largest prime factor. This is trivially easy on a CentOS system (factor 
is part of coreutils):


[lowen@FREE-IP-92 ~]$ factor 6268927
6268927: 7 43 59 353

So you could use 512 times any of these factors, or several of these 
factors.  I would probably use the line:

dd if=/dev/sdb of=cubietruck.img bs=9092608 count=353
Note that while dd can use the abbreviation 'k' you would not want to 
use that here since 2 is not one of the factors of your count.  A 
roughly 9MB blocksize is going to be loads faster than 512, but still 
manageable.


Or you could make it easy on yourself and use either dd_rescue or 
ddrescue.  When I was working on the ODROID C2 stuff last year I built 
ddrescue from source RPM early on, before it got built as part of the 
EPEL aarch64 stuff.  Either of these two will figure out the optimum 
blocksize for you for best performance, and you get progress indications 
without having to have another terminal open to issue the fun 'kill 
-USR1 $pid-of-dd' command to get that out of dd.  The ddrescue utility 
for one includes a '--size=' parameter so that you can clone only 
the portion you want.

But I have a single image that I can use to build a working drive. Even 
on another drive, as long as it is more that 3.2GB.  Also the partition

Yes, I looked at it a couple years ago, and I may well again as a

(and xzcat compression for storage).

upstream see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1381997

openssh-7.4p1-1.el7 should fix it.


Well at least I know I an not going crazy. I missed that in my Google search.

Thanks Tru.

Maybe, maybe not.  OP said he’s on an embedded system, which often implies 
low-end eMMC or SD type storage, and 28 MB/sec is typical for such things.

When mirroring HDDs and proper SSDs, yes, you want to use large block sizes.

The kmod-nvidia packages (legacy packages too) against the latest
EL7.3 kernel (3.10.0-514.10.2.el7) have been released to the main
repository and are syncing to the mirrors.

kmod-nvidia-304xx-304.135-2.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
kmod-nvidia-340xx-340.102-2.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
kmod-nvidia-375.39-2.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

These packages will not be compatible with earlier kernel releases.

[CentOS] CentOS 7 iso file SHA-256 hashes

2017-03-03 Thread Darr247
I downloaded CentOS-7-x86_64-Everything.iso (8,233,418,752 bytes) by
clicking on the 'Everything' link in the 'Rolling' line on
https://wiki.centos.org/Download (supposedly the 1611 build).

But when I look in the sha256sum.txt file from
https://buildlogs.centos.org/rolling/7/isos/x86_64/ (where Chrome says that
iso came from), there is no SHA hash for a file of that name. 

The reason I wanted to check it is because it's a different size than
another one I found on my hard drive while looking through the Downloads
history in Chrome.

The other file I found was CentOS-7-x86_64-Everything-1611.iso
(8,280,604,672 bytes), which returns a hash of
af4969ebbdc479d330de97c5bfbb37eedc64c369f009cb15a97f9553ba441c88 and that
matches the value given in the sha256sum.txt file for the file of that name.

So, my question is tri-fold. what's the SHA-256 hash supposed to be for the
file given when clicking the 'Everything' link on centos.org. 
then, why is the 'official' download link sending a file that's not listed
in the hash results. 
and finally, why is the file sent thusly, different from another
'everything' iso allegedly from the same build?

Thanks.
