[CentOS] After Crash dracut kernel
Hello, I have two identical servers in hardware. I installed both with CentOS. I did LVM snapshots before updating to test LVM merging. On one server I merged all filesystem's during boot because they where mounted when I merged. The other server I did the snapshots, made my installations and configurations and made no merge because it worked on the other server. But I forgot to delete the snapshots and: n the night the server crashed. It rebooted to recovery kernel because it can't find the lvm volumes (module dm_snapshots was missing). Both servers have a difference. When they start one says CentOS (Core) at the end of the loading bar. The other with the crash says sth. about a dracut-Kernel while loading. What do I have to look for? Partitioning scheme on both servers: /boot: sda1 /: lvm /usr: lvm /var: lvm Swap: lvm Thanks in advance Tim ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] LVM encryption and new volume group
Hello list, I bought a Thinkpad T420 and installed CentOS 7 recently. I choosed to use lvm encryption for the entire volume group. It works so far. But now I am planning to install a second hard disk. My thought is to create a new volume group on this additional disk. But how can I integrate/do this according to the existing encryption so that it will be decrypted by the same passphrase I use at startup?

Hi Chris, thanks for your answer. It is the first time I decided to encrypt my lvm.

[CentOS] How to install tp_smapi and acpi_call kernel modules
Hello, I've got a Thinkpad T420 and would like to use full tlp functionality. Therefore I need the kernel module tp_smapi and acpi_call.

[CentOS] Firewalld IP in multiple zones
Hi, I would like to know what will happen when I add 192.168.3.0/24 to trusted zone, but 192.168.3.1/32 to public zone. 192.168.3.1 is the gateway and should not have access to other services in that network.

I also can't delete connection out of the NM-GUI so I needed to remove them from /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections. Did I miss something? The logs seem to be fine so far. My CentOS 7 has all recent updates applied. Thanks in advance Tim ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Lenovo T420 internal microphone not working

Re: [CentOS] How to install packages from git.centos.org
Hey Johnny,
thank you very much for your instructions. The build is running at the
moment but there seems to be a small bug in kernel-rt.spec.
I changed the line 684 from
mv %{name}-%{rpmversion}-%{pkg_release_simple}%{dist} vanilla-%{kversion};
to
mv %{name}-%{rpmversion}-%{pkg_release_simple}* vanilla-%{kversion};
The reason is that the tarball contains a folder with dist-tag .el7_2.
So when I want to change the dist tag to .el7 the unpacked sources
folder can't be renamed to "vanilla".
Regards
Tim

[CentOS] mounting & partitioning Seagate FreeAgent external HD
Hi all, As a disclaimer, I'm new to this list and very green administering CentOS. I run it on my test servers and do very basic networking and server administration (most users, permissions, and web app stuff). I have a backup server that I am using rsync to collect important in-process file for our digital library from both Windows and Linux servers, as well as a specific applications which are updated on a separate test server. This backup server ran out of space and I have no more internal slots available to add another disk, so I bought a 750 GB Seagate FreeAgent external USB hard drive. I've seen some various issues out there about how Seagate FA HDs go into sleep mode when used in the manner I want to, but all of the people posting about that seemed to be able to mount theirs with no problem. I can see the device in my /proc/bus/usb/devices file, but fdisk -l doesn't show it at all. I was trying to mount and partition it using Webmin, but I can't figure out the device name I need to give it to mount and partition it. How is the best way to figure that out? This particular server is running CentOS 4.

A simple sudo /sbin/fdisk -l will show all drives and their partition tables. The one with an invalid partition table is the one you're interested in. Sorry, just read again and noticed that fdisk did not show you anything. :( Actually, your first email made me double check this to see if I was missing something and I was (or maybe it really wasn't there initially).

So when I try to use Webmin to mount and partition device /dev/sda (and also tried /dev/sda2) as a New Linux Native Filesystem (ext3), I get the error of: Failed to save mount : Mount failed : mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda, or too many mounted file systems So I'm guessing I'm using the wrong file system type.

Then do a vgextend, this adds the disk to the volume group. A vgdisplay should then show that you have again free space in the volume group. Then you can do a lvextend and resize2fs as normal.

[CentOS] Fedora user moving to CentOS
Greetings, I'm a Fedora user likely going to switch to CentOS in the next few days. I'm wondering if anyone has some heads up advice for me? I am very familiar with FC6 and before so I anticipate few problems I haven't already seen (and know were fixed). The main reason for the move is so I don't have to re-install so frequently and hopefully not have to deal with so many daily updates. I would use the 'upstream vendor' (respectfully), but I work under no IT $ budget. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] package 'synchronization' for multiple systems
I'm setting up multiple systems and ideally I want the same package configuration on all of them. So I'm going through yum and rpm queries manually to try and get this done. There must be a better way. Is there a way to use yum or rpm to configure multiple systems with the same packages? If yum or rpm has something native built into it to do this, that would be great. If there's some scripts to simplify some tasks that works too. I've used webmin's 'Cluster Software Package' module, and will probably fall back to it. However I don't think I get the info that yum gives regarding package grouping and what packages are part of what capabilities. Gotta query elsewhere for it.

[CentOS] Making FORWARD_IPV4=YES permanent / DHCP multiple routers
First,
I'd like to configure my system to forward ip, to act as a gateway for
my network. I've always used a script during startup to do this:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ${UPLINK} -j SNAT --to ${IP_NAT}
This works fine, however I want this permanent so I don't have to run
the script on startup. I have the firewall setup with SNAT fine, but
when I write the file /etc/sysconfig/network with the line
'FORWARD_IPV4=YES' it still doesn't enable the ip forwarding after boot?
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
0
So how do I do this?
Second,
In DHCP, you can specify multiple DNS servers:
option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2, 10.0.0.3;
can you also do this with routers?
option routers 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2;
so that if one is down, the network PC's can fail over to another?

[CentOS] Dovecot on CentOS5 - (login) returned error 127
Running CentOS Linux 5 with sendmail-procmail putting email in /var/spool/mail. I'm running pop3 only with the servers configured to authenticate with ldap (which is configured and running OK). I do have this same configuration on an older FC6 box and it works fine. I'm thinking I just need to upgrade dovecot given all the nss_ldap problems it has had, but I hate not using RPM packages and CentOS does not have upgraded packages. Hardware is Dell PowerEdge 1900 (64bit) with 2G RAM. Hopefully I'm doing something stupid and there's an easy fix for the packages and configuration I have.

If the server has a normal standard serial port you can setup a tty on that serial port. Once the machines has booted then you can login on the serial port. If the server has any remote management features then you probably will have things like console redirection, BMC/IPMI, remote console, ... but they are platform specific so look at the manual for that server and see what is available. They usualy do provde a way to redirect almost all output to a serial port.

It's like saying " You > can buy the car, but if you change the tires we won't service it" - > Dude, that's the mentality of M$ and the likes, NOT Open Source Firstly, for VMware and probably Virtualbox (no experience there) there is no need to have the complete kernel sources, but that is explained more detailed below. The reasons that we don't support custom kernels is explained here http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel. And your comparison to cars is not completely correct. It is not buying a car and changing the tires. Replacing a kernel is like replacing the engine of a car. And I don't see the company that made that car still service it if it does not contain their engine. Also, this has nothing to do with a M$ mentality. With M$ you even can't replace the kernel with your own. With Linux you can and we even document it on the wiki for you. You have full access to the source and can to with it whatever you like. What we can't do is support changed systems like that because it then contains component we did not made and have no control over. Nothing more, nothing less. > Besides, VMWare & Virtualbox needs it to install properly on the system, > what do you tell them? We won't support you, so your programs won't > work on our system? With VMware (Server anyway) you just install kernel-devel and the vmware-config.pl script finds everything it needs to compile it's custom modules. Very simple, no fuss. If that process works for VMware then VirtualBox should be able to do the same thing. If they don't then talk to them and get them to update their tools. This method (installing kernel-devel which contains enough to compile external modules) is the standard way of dealing with this, it is also recommended by the kernel developers. If software does not support this method then they need a update to support this method. This is not about being difficult, just about doing things in a standard and consistant matter. So, to sum up. We don't mind you playing with the kernel, just realize what you are doing then. But we do like that people are polite and respect each other.

[CentOS] Rejecting spam
Sorry, not a direct CentOS question, but I know there's a lot of
experienced users on this list...I'm using CentOS with sendmail and
spamassassin. I've got it configured with spamass-milter and it is
working correctly. However, I was expecting to be able to reject mail
that is marked as spam, not just deliver it as usual. Anyone know if it
can be done and how? I know a milter can reject mail, because I've used
milter-grelist in the past to give temporary fail messages.
Following is my sendmail.m4 directive for spamass-milter:

Not sure, but I think you could use procmail to filter to a junk
folder based upon parsing the SpamAssassin score. Also, you can block
based on RBL in sendmail , or score in spamassassin.
That's exactly what I don't want to do. I don't want the mail being
delivered to my system. That's why I'm using the milter. However the
milter is doing the exact same thing as delivering it when it is marked
as spam. That's what I am hoping to get some help with.

Anyone know if it can be done and how? I know a milter can reject mail, because I've used milter-grelist in the past to give temporary fail messages Not really a good idea to reject all spam. Spam filtering is not that black and white. Suppose a legitmate email gets tagged as Spam. This does happen trust me and more than likely its a email your boss has been waiting for. You'll want a some way to retrieve it. I think it's a wonderful idea to not let spam into the server at all. If a legitimate sender is sending email that is inadvertently marked as spam, it will be returned to sender and they will be notified. That's actually why I'm trying to switch to a 'don't let it in to begin with' policy. Currently I use the spamassassin to mark spam and clients get their email and have a habit of giving the spam folder a glance over looking for legitimate email. Well, that completely defeats the purpose of marking them spam to begin with? I'm basing this decision on having run an email server for the last 8 years, listening to the complaints of huge spam folders and mail being 'lost' in the trash because it was falsely marked as spam. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Basically all libraries are available in 32 and 64 bit versions and the 64 bit kernel used als allows 32 bit code to be executed. So this means that when the correct libraries are installed any 32 bit application will just work. Now then there is the yum package management tool in CentOS. If you install a 32 bit application using yum, yum will see what 32 bit libraries are needed and install them together with the application. So if you use the tools provided by CentOS there is nothing special that needs to be done. The system will sort it out itself.

A DVD is not a disk so it is not listed there. It will probably be defined as sr0. Anyway, the best way to find out is to install the tool lsscsi using yum.

At least in C5, all SATA support is handle by libata. And libata uses the SCSI stack to do part of the work. So that is way all SATA devices will show up as "scsi" devices. And if I'm correct people are working on porting the older PATA drivers to the libata framework, so they will also be shown is sdX devices, if I remember correctly Fedora 8 already does this.

I don't but I strongly suggest that you do NOT replace the base python packages with a newer version. A lot of core tools (like yum) depend on python. So replace the base python package with a newer one could very well break your complete system. As Eric suggests find a way to install python 2.4 besides the core python in a seperate place so you don't start mixing them.

Change the default port I could do that, but if they already know about it, a simple port scan and they'll probably find it again.

No, because storage vendors count in decimal, 750 GB is 7500 bytes instead of 805306368000 if you count binary. So 750 decimal GB is is actually 698 binary GB.

Re: [CentOS] Gnome Terminal and xterm problems
I've seen a similar issue when I've had an ssh connection open to a remote site over a VPN connection (not a VPN client on my PC, but a VPN connection between my site and the remote site, between Cisco routers). Catting a large file would hang the connection, and I had to kill and re-establish the connection. The issue was that the maximum packet size over the VPN link was something like 1460. The VPN connection added 40 extra bytes of payload. When I would cat a large file, my computer would send 1500 byte packets with the do-not- fragment bit set. The routers couldn't pass the 1500 byte packet because it was too large, and the do-not-fragment bit prevented them from fragmenting the packet, so it would get dropped, and my connection would die. I don't remember the exact details, as it occurred a couple years ago, but the gist was that the MTU on the servers I had to connect to had to be reduced to something like 1460. I don't think this is exactly your situation, but it's just an idea of something to consider. -Tim On Jul 12, 2007, at 9:46 AM, Matt Shields wrote: I've noticed this in CentOS 4 & 5 and Fedora 5 & 6. If I'm in Gnome desktop and using any of the terminal programs and I ssh into any server, the connection just hangs. Not drops, it just hangs and doesn't recover. These servers are all over the country on different ISPs in Tier1 datacenters. Some are in our office, so they are on the local lan. We have a mix of RHEL 3, 4 & 5 and CentOS 4 & 5 on the servers. If I'm using a windows computer with putty or SecureCRT this never happens, it only happens when I'm using any of our linux desktops or laptops. It doesn't matter if I'm in the office or at home (on comcast) or over at a friend's house (verizon dsl). This problem has been going on for at least two years and I'm finally fed up to the point where I might switch back to windows since 99% of my job is working while ssh'ed into servers. Anyone had similar problems? -matt ___ 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
Re: [CentOS] RAID hard drive serial numbers?

But, they don't seem to work, at least, on obtaining hard drive info from drives on a Dell PERC controller. Instead, I'm given basic PERC controller info, not drive info. Is there a tool to let me get the hard drive make/model/serial numbers from a hardware RAID setup? Since you are using HW RAID the tools you mentioned cannot be used to get the HD serial numbers. This is because the RAID controllers completely hides the physical disks from the OS. You would need tools for the RAID controller itself, those should be able to get the info you need.
