Re: [CentOS] SFTP - stalled - on large files
I'm not sure what would cause that, but I'd use rsync over ssh instead of sftp anyway - and use the -P option to permit restarting. If it were up to me, we'd take that route.

Tell him to switch WinSCP to SCP mode. Kai Tried that, it still fails the same way.

I'm thinking that it's either a problem with VMWare, or perhaps our load balancer that is routing the packets back and forth. Hopefully one of the vendors will be able to help solve the problem.

[CentOS] conga and virsh nodeinfo
Hi folks, I have run into a confusing problem. My initial problem is: Conga does not offer Add a virtual machine service. So I googled and found a RedHat advisory on that: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2009-1623.html which points updates that should fix this. I checked on my cluster, but the relevant packages are current (and even if ALL packages are current it does not work). So I tried manually what is described in the above advisory: virsh nodeinfo --readonly throws an error saying that --readonly is not implemented. That seems to be the problem. Running virh nodeinfo as a non-root user (like Conga does) leads to an error as described in the above advisory. Reading the man page on virsh suggests that there is a --readonly flag to URIs, not to simple virsh commands. Now I am stuck. Googleing does not lead to anything helpful. Has anyone else run into this and resolved it? Or can someone send me a valid vm ressource entry for the /etc/cluster/cluster.conf file so I can adapt that? I have not found really enlightening examples on the web, and docs on this seem quite sparse. Thanks for any hint or help.

Re: [CentOS] SFTP - stalled - on large files
Load balancer... is that set up to maintain connections, or will it, like IBM's WebSeal, go to whichever server is next/least used in the middle of a connection? It's set to use least connection but there is only one server behind the virtual IP at the moment. I'm reasonably sure at this point that the Netscaler is causing the problem, because file transfers inside the LAN work fine, and we see this same issue on both physical and virtual servers. I just tested with a physical box to verify, and the same thing happens, transfer speed quickly drops to zero and stalls. I've got a ticket open with Citrix to hopefully get to the bottom of this. It wouldn't be the first time we've seen the Netscaler muck up a TCP connection from a client. The last time I dealt with this it was sending unwanted FIN packets to mail servers.

For what you describe, all you need is a route to the routers, and this would give you a route to the 'inside' interface. If you want to allow it, it will also allow remote access to everything behind the router. BTW it seems there are two type of monitoring tools: Type-1. uses snmp only Type-2. user agents Your router is probably only going to have snmp, and accessing it from the inside interface will work to report the interface usage of all interfaces.

I being a vegetarian am finding it all the more daunting I'm partial to opennms - and have used it in somewhat similar circumstances (generally static IP's, but using a central monitor from the private side through tunnels). The one thing you need for this to work is unique IP addresses throughout, though. Most monitor tools will be tied to IP addressing and will be confused if each location NATs to the same range. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Frustrations with MySQL loss, tcpdump, netstat, etc
Hi All,
Hi All,
MySQL 5.0.77 on CentOS 5.4
MySQL is running, my Wordpress stuff is working, but I cannot connect to the
server from my house. This server is in my house, however, but on a public IP,
behind a firewall, etc.
I checked my hardware firewall (a dedicated UnTangle system) and that is
successfully allowing the passage. I know this because the firewall shows:
2009-12-22 6:29:41 am passed my IP:35606 server IP:3306
I checked the firewall (system-config-securitylevel-tui) on the server and that
has 3306:tcp allowed.
When I try to connect I get an error (4) which when I google says: Interrupted
System call
I have tried using the MySQL Workbench and other client software.
If I look in /var/log/mysqld.log I dont see anything but the fact the server
started.
I tried stopping mysql with /etc/init.d/mysqld stop
Then starting with mysqld_safe --init-file=/tmp/code.txt
Where code.txt contains:
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('mypassword') WHERE User='root';
GRANT ALL ON mysql.* to 'root'@'127.0.0.1';
GRANT ALL ON mysql.* TO 'root'@'localhost';
GRANT ALL ON mysql.* TO 'root'@'my home IP';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
commit;
and I still cannot connect. But the database starts and this code executes
because If I go to the console and run /usr/bin/mysql -u root -p and use this
password from the update statement that password gets me in.
So, on my server I run tcpdump host my ip and I dont think I see anything
where 3306 is coming through.
if I run a test MySQL connection from the MySQL Workbench and they run netstat
on my server
and I dont see a entry where 3306 is used in what netstat is dumping.
What am I doing wrong? What can I check for? I am stumped!

Try to telnet to port 3306 and see if you get thru.
Try changing the password after you have added the users with the GRANTS. If
you have run your script more than once that has probably been done. Commit
should probably be before the flush also.

The Time Capsule nats and give clients behind it a private IP. I still don't understand the exact relationship - or which address you are expecting in the tcpdump. From this description I'd guess you would see the time capsule's public IP as the source for your connections. Is that what you were expecting, but not seeing, in your tcpdump? Are there other connections to mysql through this interface or can you just look for anything on port 3306? And is the firewall running as an unnumbered bridge? I'd make sure packets are going back and forth before looking further. Also, comcast modems can overlay a private range on the same subnet as the assigned public set. It would be possible for your time capsule to use a dhcp-assigned private address on it's public facing side which would be NATted by the comcast modem. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Cacti has a way to get the individual data samples via http. Opennms has a way to get min/max/average over a specified time range. Neither is exactly what I'm looking for, but better than nothing. An example of what I'd like to do is to find the peak total bandwidth used (at the same time) across a group of interfaces, and be able to do reports of that grouping over long time spans where individual interfaces in the group will change. Or the same for other metrics like CPU use.

Not a stupid question at all. For ordinary disk drives the answer is yes, absolutely. The outer tracks of a disk are physically longer, and any but the most ancient of disk drives will pack more sectors into those tracks. Since the disk rotates at a constant RPM, more sectors per second pass under the head on the outer tracks.

Re: [CentOS] SFTP - stalled - on large files
We had a similar problem copying files between servers on two of our campuses via SCP. After a while the connection just stalled out and hung. The problem turned out to be SCP and SFTP interacting a bug in the SACK (Selective Acknowledgment) algorithm used in Linux. We turned it off on the two endpoints using the following addition to /etc/sysctl.conf: # Turn off SACK net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 0 and execute sysctl -p to apply it. You can also use sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_sack=0 to turn it off temporarily. Our file transfers worked just fine after the change. I realize there are differences our situation and yours and this might not work in your case.
