[CentOS-docs] 6.1 Release Notes translations
Hello, I have completed the german translation of the C6.1 release notes and would like to put them up at the wiki. I've also created a user account in the wiki but do not (yet) have write access. Could somebody please help. For now I've got the translation as an odf-file (allready mailed to Ralph as advised by KB). Thanks and cheers Christoph Ralph: Thanks for putting the german notes up. If possible could you please grant my user write access to that page to remedy some errors in the translation?

[CentOS] how to find source of data loss / corruption
Hi, 2 websites, hosted on 2 different CentOS 5.7 servers (one being very new, about 3 weeks old) keeps loosing data - but it's more like it's corrupted than being deleted. For example, a photo would be uploaded last night and today when we checked it, it doesn't show on the website. So we check if the file is on the server, and exists but is 0KB in size. Last night it still worked fine. The photo is 482Kb in size. The first time this happened we thought it was due to a bug with CentOS 5.7 + EXT4 + quotas (there's a bug open for this) and since the server's console kept giving errors about possible data corruption we thought it would be best if we move everything to a more stable platform. So we brought a new server, setup CentOS 5.7 + ext3 + quotas (which has been working fine on all our servers for a long time) and moved the data across. A few days down the line and I still see this happening. I'm out of ideas and hope someone could shed some light on the matter. I've checked some suggested search results, but couldn't find any issues with the HDD according to SMART. The servers' both have 4GB RAM and 8Core CPU's.Neither RAM, nor CPU usage is high. Both are setup with RAID10 across 4 entrerprise HDD's, one server has software RAID and the new one hardware RAID. So even when we changed the RAID subsystem it still happens. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] how to find source of data loss / corruption
Hi Rudi we once had a similar problem on a Web: This Web had this in particular that its home-page needed to be deleted daily and of course reinstalled immediately. Then, in a new version of the Web it did not need this delete/reinstall cycle any more, so the webadmin just removed the link to the delete script. He did not remove the delete-script itself from the Web. The effect was, that the home-page was still deleted at random times. What we then found out: We used an internal Search-Engine which crawled this web. And this Search-Engine had not forgotten the link to the delete-script, but invoked it at random times, whenever it crawled the particular Web. Your case: could it be something similar? suomi On 2011-12-15 11:28, Rudi Ahlers wrote: Hi, 2 websites, hosted on 2 different CentOS 5.7 servers (one being very new, about 3 weeks old) keeps loosing data - but it's more like it's corrupted than being deleted.

Re: [CentOS] UUID for network cards
On 12/14/2011 04:47 PM, Helmut Drodofsky wrote: Hello, with CentOS 6, my new server created an UUID entry in ifcfg-eth0 - additional to HWADDR entry. Up to CentOS 5 the connection to the netwark card was defind only by HWADDR. Now I have a new network card. How can I get the correct UUID? The server connects correct the network with the updated HWADDR without any UUID. Why do I need an UUID? Thank you for help in advance. I'm only speculating here since I did notice the new UUIDs but haven't had to deal with them so far but my guess is that they provide a way for the to uniquely identify the logical interface and have nothing to do with the phyiscal interface itself. For example if you configure bridging you need to tell the interface the bridge they belong to. If you use the name br0 for example and later decide to rename it to bridge0 then you also have to fix all references. If instead you reference the UUID then that is not necessary and you can rename them as you please without breaking any references. Again this is speculation on my part based on how/why the UUIDs for disks where introduced. Regards, Dennis ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] Cause for kernel panic
From this, is there a way to determine the cause ? kdump is not confirgured nor used, since the fencing of the node renders kdump useless. This is the second time in a few weeks it happens. /var/log/messages should have more information; could you include it? No, unfortunently, the last message in the log is a normal one, an after that it's the boot process. I will look at netconsole as Ross suggested.

I could put this in /etc/rc.local, but was wondering if there's a cleaner way to do it in e.g. the network-scripts directory. If you create files in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory named according to the scheme route-eth0 route-eth1 route-eth2 it will execute each line in the files as /sbin/ip route add line when each interface is brought up. Look in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-routes script for all the gory details and features. I actually did just that---looked at the ifup-routes script. The thing that threw me off is the comments about older format versus new format. I probably read into the comments too much, but I thought to myself, I should probably use the new format, as they might some day deprecate the old format. But anyway, the older format is what I need. With the older format, it's exactly what you said above: each line corresponds to running ip route add line. So what I added were lines in this format: addr/mask via gateway dev device metric N A contrived example might be: 10.25.77.0/24 via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0 metric 5 The new format is where each group of three lines corresponds to a route. You have the ADDRESSxx=, NETMASKxx=, GATEWAYxx= lines. Clearly this is less flexible, particularly if you need to set a metric like me. :) Anyway, hopefully that's useful for anyone in a similar situation! -Matt ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Like something you have installed from extras being added later to EPEL, etc.? Plugin Priorities hides packages with the same name, leaving only package from the repo with top most priority (lower number). This prevents visibility and installability of packages in repo's with lower priority (higher number). You can still see them if you add --showduplicates --disableplugin=priorities. EPEL is base-repo friendly, so there should be no problems with EPEL. Trick comes with RepoForge (ex-RPMForge), aTrpms, and other third party repo's. Policy of the RepoForge for example is that they will not recompile their own packages if package they depend on is bumped in EPEL and overrides RepoForge's package with same name. I do understand them, they have limited time and infrastructure to always keep up with EPEL. But only real problems are with Audio/Video packages: players, codecs (decoders, encoders), and supporting libraries. In order to be sure that those packages will work without interruptions, players are compiled with hard-coded dependencies on particular version of libraries, codec packages, etc. We can narrow it down even further to decoders/encoders with licensing issues like MP3. Upstream, CentOS consequently, and EPEL compile for example gstreamer package without license infringing codecs, but all others do. What people do is to install gstreamer from third party repo with gstreamer-bad (or was it -ugly) additional packages. So when upstream or EPEL publishes another version of gstreamer, hard-coded gstreamer-bad dependancy conflicts with new package. So third-party repo would have to rebuild their entire audio/video package group to avoid conflicts. Solution would be that there is communication between EPEL(/upstream) maintainer and third party repos. So there will always be complications, but they are limited to audio/video packages (mostly). -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe Google is the Mother, Google is the Father, and traceroute is your trusty Spiderman...

But there is an error I just saw, it should be exclude=*release, without the trailing s. I will have to fix this as soon as possible. Explanation: When I install CentOS systems, I move original *.repo files to backup subdirectory because they do not contain Enabled= and Priorities= lines, and leave only my own .repo file. If there is no exclude=*release line, then next update of xxx-release would see that their .repo files are missing and would reinstall them.

[CentOS] installing gnome, CentOS 6.1
I just rebuilt a box to 6.1 for a user. Shortly after I delivered, she came up to ask about gnome; it had come up as KDE. I looked at the login screen, and in the session type, saw previous, custom, kde, and default. When I investigated, I found not all 7,532,340 gnome packages were installed. Googling for responses only in the last month, I found a lot of groupinstall GNOME Desktop Environment, as opposed to what I put in our PXEboot file months ago, GNOME Desktop Environment (RPM Fusion Free). That didn't work either, and after a bit more googling, found people saying groupinstall Desktop.

Dumb question: in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, do the ifcfg-* have HWADDRs? They do, but the case I want to cover is where an existing server is cloned, or the disk has been moved from a failed chassis to a spare. And in this case the existing files will be wrong, and the nics will be named more or less randomly. Assume the hands-on operators don't know much about linux and you can't actively help until they get at least one of the right IP's on the right NIC. With 5.x I'd use mii-tool to find the connected interface (connecting one wire at a time if necessary), then ifconfig on that interface to get the hwaddr, then edit that into the ifcfg-* file for the names I want the active NICs to have, and reboot. That's awkward enough to ask someone to do who already prefers windows, and it looks like it just got harder by having to explicitly run mii-tool for each possible interface (and we always have 4 to 6 per box). There has to be a better way. I thought 6.1 was going to have a new NIC name convention but I haven't had time to look into it and have to make something work now. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
