[CentOS] Nfs4 with kerberos freezing system

2009-03-09 Thread Olaf Mueller
Hello,

I have a CentOS 5.2 server that exports /home on the local network for 2
users by secure nfs4 with kerberos krb5p. The clients are a notebook
and a desktop pc.
The following error is always reproducible on all clients. If running
the clients on high load, that means for example 5 firefox windows open
and connected with www pages from the internet, installing the new qt
development environmet on the nfs4 share from the 297 mb big
qt-sdk-linux-x86-opensource-2009.01.bin file and copy a 649 mb iso
image to the nfs4 share, the client is freenzing and a reboot is 
necessary. If running the clients on low load, than the system is
stable for hours.

In my opinion this is an error by an CentOS nfs package, cause this
problem is reproducible with different kernels, different desktop
environments and different clients. I don't think the error is caused
by the server hardware, cause if running the same nfs setting with nfs
version 3 and disabling nfs secure, the system is stable.

I have test this with
- latest CentOS 5.2 kernel and testing redhat kernel 2.6.18-133.el5
- kde and gnome
- different clients and hardware

Is anybody here successfully using nfs4/krb5p with CentOS 5.2?


regards
Olaf

3) Some motherboards (many) will not accept different size DIMMs at
the same time.  If yours works with the 2GB alone and the 4GB alone
but not both together, that's probably the problem and you can't do it
at all on your present hardware.

If the motherboard supports dual-channel configs, one might want to take care 
how one distributes the different mem-sticks in the banks. Eg the 2GB-sticks 
in bank 1 and 3 and the 4GB-sticks in banks 2 and 4.

YMMV.

So, either the memory sticks are bad (one or two of them), or the memory

That reminds me; some mobos have a default fail-safe settings option with 
timings and stuff using very conservative numbers. If you haven't already 
tried that, you might want to give that one a go as well.

NB! This default setting is usually not optimal (turbo), but rather settles 
for stability. A working baseline kinda' thing, if you know what I mean.

If this doesn't work either, you're mem-sticks are as most here have pointed 
out, bad in some way.

[CentOS] LDAP proxy

2009-03-09 Thread Test


List,

I have a challenge with some LDAP servers:

I am in the process of converting from physical LDBM backends to virtualized
BDB backends.

Problem is that there are a lot of clients connecting to this ldap instance
(with updates), so i do not want to inform them that our ldap server is
offline for a maintenance window...

I would like to have a solution which does some form of caching until the
new instances are online and then flush the updates to the new instance..

Does anyone have a clue on how to do this, or a better solution to my
problem ?

I have to jump in here. A few months back, I tried replace some memory
sticks with much larger ones. No go. But the specs said they should be
compatible. After puttzing around with all sorts of things, I decided
the only thing left was the voltage settings for the sticks. More memory
has a greater draw. Not wanting to void the warranty, I didn't dink with
it on my own. I carried the unit to my local dealer and said you do it
if you think it is safe.

Bumped the voltage a couple tenths and all worked. The reason is
obvious. Why the auto setting didn't work, I can't say. Have been
running successfully for many months now.

So, if you've got the leeway, try manually bumping the voltage for the
unit a couple of tenths. Risk is low, but it is there.

As with any solution that has many moving parts it only takes one weak  
point to ruin the whole system.

1) How is NFS configured? TCP only for nfsv4. What security domain?  
Does it match your kerberos realm?

2) How is kerberos configured? Do you have the user principles setup  
correctly? Do you have the service principles setup correctly? How did  
you distribute the keytab files? Are users authenticating properly on  
login? Is the krb5.conf file setup optimally?

3) How is DNS setup? Did you setup resource records for the kerberos  
server? Did you setup name resolution properly on the clients? Is  
there firewall or proxy server settings that might interfere with  
either DNS or NFS?

4) How are these NFS shares mounted? Are they soft or hard mounts?  
Laptops should be soft and desktops can be either.

5) How is your network performing? Is it overloaded? Are the clients  
overloaded? Are there any communications problems?

Answer these questions and post their results (edit for brevity) and  
you will give the list the information needed to help you.

Hi

We have a standalone network cloning laptops using clonezilla. The 
person using it says it does what it is supposed to.

The install was pretty much by the instructions on the webpage. The 
computer we use have an extra NIC for a private clone network. We also 
installed an extra HDD  500GB for clone image storage.

What i did was pretty much;

   1. Configure nic on eth1 to 192.168.100.1
   2. Add packages dkms dkms-fuse dkms-ntfs3g dkms-ntfs
  fuse-ntfs-3g-devel fuse-ntfs-3g
  * /yum install dkms dkms-fuse dkms-ntfs3g dkms-ntfs
fuse-ntfs-3g-devel fuse-ntfs-3g/
   3. /Modify ///etc/sysconfig/iptables/ according to Clonezilla server
  firewall
  https://sysadm.isy.liu.se/wiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ClonezillaFirewall
   4. Install Clonezilla following Clonezilla server install

   5. Configure the server according to the webpage

[CentOS] [bug] Perl Performance Issue

I'm currently bitten hard by a bug which was introduced by RedHat in their

I wanted to ask if we can expect CentOS to release a new version of perl
soon, or if we should rather tend building our own packages. I'd prefer the
CentOS update, due to the reason that I don't know if we'll have the same
problems with this in mod_perl as well.

This perl package will be in CentOS 5.3. I'm just astonished that there
is another fix for that, as the current package in CentOS has this in
the changelog:

* Fri Aug 29 2008 Marcela Maslanova mmasl...@redhat.com -
* 4:5.8.8-15.el5.1
- add upstream fix for bless/overload problem (changes

[CentOS] LSI Logic MegaRAID 8480 Storage controller

2009-03-09 Thread drew einhorn
I have LSI Logic MegaRAID 8480 Storage controller

I am having trouble reconfigure one of the hardware raid devices

It is configured with 4 hardware raid logical volumes on

/dev/sda
/dev/sdb
/dev/sdc
/dev/sdd.

I am in the middle of rebuilding the system,
 and at this point I am only using one of the volumes, /dev/sda

/dev/sda, /dev/sdb, and /dev/sdd are all 2 drive raid1 mirrors
I will be using the hardware raid logical volumes /dev/sdb and /dev/sdd
with their current configurations

I doubt that the hardware raid device on /dev/hda is causing
any problems

/dev/sda has two partitiions
/dev/sda1 is a 100 MB ext3 partition mounted on /boot
/dev/sda2 is a 20 GB lvm logical volume in a 67 GB volume group with
an ext3 partition mounted on /
the rest of the volume group is empty.

I don't like the /dev/sdc is configued.  It's configured as a 4 drive raid6.
It will be used for database journal, nearly all sequential writes.
I would rather use raid10

There are 3 ways to configure the hardware raid.

The is something called WebBIOS which is sort of like a web browser that
you access from the BIOS.  This is ruled out since we will need to
maintain the raid configuration with shutting down the operating system,
or applications.

There is a MegaCLI command line interface that runs under the operating
system.  Normally I prefer command line tools.  But this software is big,
and complex.  All I have been able to find is a reference manual,
that has lots of typos and is not very well organized for me to learn
what I need to know.  I have not been able to find a tutorial for this
software.  It will take more time than I have at the moment to figure
out this tool.

Finally there is the MegaRAID Storage Manager a GUI tool that
runs under the OS.  I'm running v2.77-00

So the first thing I need to do is delete the unwanted raid6 logical volume.

When I try to delete it, it refuses and says:

   This is an OS drive.  The virtual drive cannot be deleted.

Any ideas on how to get past this problem with the MegaRAID Storage Manager,

or pointers the better documentation, and maybe even a tutorial for the MegaCLI
interface.

[CentOS] Grub Loading stage2Read Error

2009-03-09 Thread dnk
Hi there,

I had a system drop this weekend, and upon boot, the system halts at a  
black screen with the following error:

Grub Loading stage2Read Error

Now upon googling around, it seems to be recommended to reinstall  
GRUB. My system is a simple raid 0 (data backed up), with the typical  
partition scheme (LVM, etc) provided by CentOS. This system is 5.2 in  
my case.

Now since my system is a raid 0, I am a little hesitant to do the  
procedure as none of the instructions I have found take this into  
consideration.

What would be the best way to do this, or more importantly to find out  
the proper device to run (on):

/sbin/grub-install /dev/...

Thanks in advance.

They just work, if the parts meet their spec.  If the parts don't meet

How does the live CD fail for you?  Installing the DRBL package on a 
Centos server basically gives you PXE network boot capability, but once 
you've booted into clonezilla it is pretty much the same thing you would 
have if you booted the live CD and mounted network storage from the 
server - and either way works with most of the hardware I've tried.

Works nicely for my only purpose - Windows backup.

Installs like an appliance - it will stomp on several config files 
without warning. Best to try it out on a test box or virtual machine.

Had to sort through many small scripts to get it to do what I wanted. 
Main ones I edited were /opt/drbl/sbin/ocs-functions, 
/opt/drbl/lang/bash/en_US, /tftpboot/nbi_img/pxelinux.cfg/default. Use 
only one network, shut off nis master, made it a secondary dhcpd server, 
NFS mount the image storage point off another box.

The logger service /opt/drbl/sbin/ocsmgrd didn't work the way I liked, 
so I use cobbled something together using nc.

Because I changed around some files, I have to be careful with 
drbl/clonezilla updates.

I found it useful to have spare disk/LVM space on the server to restore 
images to, easier restore of a single file or dir. Needs to be 
equal/larger than the biggest client disk.

I had to move it from an x86_64 to i386 Centos - not all my client cpus 
could run 64bit.

PXE boot other stuff like systemrescue, C5 install/rescue, DBAN, etc.

I never posted anything, but Steven Shiau, the maintainer, seems 
responsive to questions on the mail list.

When you use 4 banks of memory, some boards require slower settings.
Tweaking the voltage may help there I guess, but I would opt for the
slower settings. I recall that my BIOS chose a slower memory setting
when I added 4G to my small server at home that already had 2G That
system has been rock stable (except for my Sun quad ethernet that had
problems with the Xen kernel due to MMIO issues. I solved that by
ditching the Sun card and using a vlan capable switch with vlan trunking

[CentOS] port based routing

2009-03-09 Thread Marcus Moeller
Good Evening,

I am trying to set up port based routing on a CentOS 5.2 box as described
here:

http://www.linuxhorizon.ro/iproute2.html (second example)

Therefor I have set up the following mangle and routing rules:

$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -t mangle -p tcp --dport 1100 -j MARK --set-mark 1
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -t mangle -p tcp --dport 1101 -j MARK --set-mark 2
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -t mangle -p tcp --dport 1102 -j MARK --set-mark 3

$IP route add default dev ppp100 table SOESTCOM1
$IP route add default dev ppp101 table VERSATEL1
$IP route add default dev ppp102 table TONLINE1

$IP rule add from all fwmark 1 table SOESTCOM1
$IP rule add from all fwmark 2 table VERSATEL1
$IP rule add from all fwmark 3 table TONLINE1

iptables -t mangle -L -vn output:

http://pastebin.centos.org/24626

shows that the packages are marked correctly.

Here is an example ip route show table output:

default dev ppp102  scope link

But it seems (and tcpdump indicates) that packages are still routed via
default route, instead.

Do I need to set some proc flags to activate port based routing?

Best Regards

[CentOS] need help with keyring

2009-03-09 Thread Michael Klinosky
I should mention that I'm a total newbie with keyrings! I tried 
searching for help sites - found 1, but I still have a problem. If there 
is a website (or sites) that explain this, please post it (them)!

Ok, so I have a laptop with wifi, running CentOS 5.2. When I boot it, it 
finds the nearby wifi signals, and tries to connect to mine. To do this, 
it puts up a window to get my default keyring password. Perhaps I needed 
to config something?

Anyway, I found http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tools/NetworkManager   ,
which _seems_ to explain everything. However, my newbie-ness is 
interfering with this process. NB - I use gnome.

The problem is that it's still asking for the default password. I'm 
fairly sure that I didn't *complete* that process (one issue - that 
password is different from my user password.)

It states that I need (?) to change the keyring password to be the same 
as the user password - but I can't figure out how. The last sentence:
(Using gnome-keyring-manager), highlight the keyring and select Change 
Keyring Password from the Keyring menu of gnome-keyring-manager.

I don't have 'Change' anything there - whether as $ or #.

What do I need to do to satisfy it (so that it doesn't ask for the 
password)?

   That sounds pretty strange.  Have you confirmed that removing the

   Yes, that's how I'm running right now.
  
 
  now, try taking out the OLD memory and putting in just the NEW memory.
  see how it runs that way.   if this works, try with the new 4GB as the 0
  bank, and the old 2GB as the 1 bank.
 
  also, in the BIOS, check the memory timings, I'd leave them all on
  'automatic' or 'default' or whatever the limited choices are in the

  destabilize a system under suboptimal conditions.
 
 When you use 4 banks of memory, some boards require slower settings.
 Tweaking the voltage may help there I guess, but I would opt for the
 slower settings. I recall that my BIOS chose a slower memory setting
 when I added 4G to my small server at home that already had 2G That
 system has been rock stable (except for my Sun quad ethernet that had
 problems with the Xen kernel due to MMIO issues. I solved that by
 ditching the Sun card and using a vlan capable switch with vlan trunking
 so that I no longer need so may ethernet interfaces)

 have you read your technical product specifications?
 http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/d975xbx2/sb/CS-029346.htm
 it states that the supported memory modules are only 2GB top

 Table 4 lists the supported DIMM configurations.
 Table 4. Supported Memory Configurations
 DIMM
 Capacity
 Configuration
 (Note 1)
 SDRAM
 Density
 SDRAM Organization
 Front-side/Back-side
 Number of SDRAM
 Devices (Note 2)
 128 MB SS 256 Mbit 16 M x 16/empty 4 [5]
 256 MB SS 256 Mbit 32 M x 8/empty 8 [9]
 256 MB SS 512 Mbit 32 M x 16/empty 4 [5]
 512 MB DS 256 Mbit 32 M x 8/32 M x 8 16 [18]
 512 MB SS 512 Mbit 64 M x 8/empty 8 [9]
 512 MB SS 1 Gbit 64 M x 16/empty 4 [5]
 1024 MB DS 512 Mbit 64 M x 8/64 M x 8 16 [18]
 1024 MB SS 1 Gbit 128 M x 8/empty 8 [9]
 2048 MB DS 1 Gbit 128 M x 8/128 M x 8 16 [18]
 Notes:
 1. In the second column, “DS” refers to double-sided memory modules
 (containing two rows of SDRAM)
 and “SS” refers to single-sided memory modules (containing one row of
 SDRAM).
 2. In the fifth column, the number in brackets specifies the number of SDRAM
 devices on an ECC DIMM

  So your 4GB module is not supported... you should use 4x2GB modules in
 order to see an improvement(always using pairs, remember it's dual channel).

Victor seems to have found your problem.  But you might want to verify
there isn't a BIOS / firmware update for your motherboard.

memtest distributed with most systems is old.  One of the memtests was
recently updated to for the latest intel chipsets.

[CentOS] Identical yum configs, different results

2009-03-09 Thread Rob Hutten
 
Hi all,
 
I have two new Centos 5.2 servers (drizzle and fog), both ROCKS headnodes 
installed from the same rolls.  Identical `uname -a' output 
(2.6.18-92.1.13.el5, x86_64 etc), identical yum versions (Version: 3.2.8 
Release: 9.el5.centos.1) with identical yum.conf files and identical repo files 
in /etc/yum.repos.d.
 
To simplify things I've disabled all repos except the centos base on both 
servers:
 
   [base]
   name=CentOS-$releasever - Base
   
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releaseverarch=$basearchrepo=os
   baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/
   gpgcheck=1
   enabled=1
   gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5

Octave is installed on drizzle:

[r...@fog yum.repos.d]#

yum install octave gives the same error.
 
Any idea what I'm missing?  I'm sure it's something stupid but I've been 
banging my head against the wall all evening on this...
 
Thanks,

Re: [CentOS] need help with keyring

 Ok, so I have a laptop with wifi, running CentOS 5.2. When I boot it, it
 finds the nearby wifi signals, and tries to connect to mine. To do this,
 it puts up a window to get my default keyring password. Perhaps I needed
 to config something?


I had a similar problem at my last job connecting Evolution to a
Windows Exchange Server for my email.  Eventually, I found that if I
told Evolution NOT to remember my password, but I input it manually
every time, then the system would not pester me about the default
keyring password.

For the record, I never did figure out the problem, and my requests
for assistance from the gnome list went nowhere - I suspect no one
there knew how to get past this, either.  I tried creating new
keyrings, all the passwords I could think of for the default keyring
(none of them worked, including no password), and I found this
workaround to be sufficient for what I needed.
