Re: [CentOS] Making custom USB install media

2015-01-13 Thread Matt
Well I feel like a fool, but I owe you one anyways. As noted in my 
message, isohybrid was one of the first things I tried, and it seemed 
to work, but the installer would bail saying can't find file, seemingly 
referring to the squashfs file.


Now I'm pretty sure it was saying it couldn't find my kickstart file. 
I'd modified the menu to say ks=cdrom:. I restored and tried the 
default install option, works fine.


Setting my ks line to ks=hd:LABEL . . . also works fine. My custom ks 
and packages and everything work straight from the initial menu.


If anyone could fill me in on exactly what that partition structure on 
the official images is doing though, I'd be curious to know.

Yet the slaves/mydomain.com.db file does not get updated.  There must be an 
option I am not setting correctly.

Slave config:

Global:
options {
allow-notify { mas.ter.IPa.ddr; };
allow-transfer { mas.ter.IPa.ddr; };
.
.
.
};

Per zone:
zone "mydomain.com." IN {
type slave;
file "slaves/mydomain.com.db";
masters { mas.ter.IPa.ddr; };
};


Master config:

Global:
options {
allow-transfer { sla.ve.IP.net/28; 127.0.0.1; };
also-notify { sla.ve.IPa.ddr; };
allow-update { none; };
notify explicit;
.
.
.
};

I also tried it with allow-update set to slaves IP address, even though I was 
sure that option was about dynamic DNS, not zone transfer to a slave.  Of 
course that didn't work either.

Re: [CentOS] Design changes are done in Fedora

2015-01-13 Thread Kahlil Hodgson
Just to note: Fedora has been upstream for RHEL for many years.  New
features are tested in Fedora for a long time before they hit RHEL.  For
example, systemd was first introduced in Fedora 15 (we are currently at
21).  Ample time has been given to discuss, critique, provide feedback and
to help shape what ends up in RHEL.  If you are running RHEL/CentOS,
consider running an instance of Fedora in a VM or testing environment so
you get years of warning about new features before they hit RHEL.  If you
are concerned about what happens to RHEL, get involved:

Hallo, hallo, the majority of the world is not the US of A. Our chosen

Probably within the next ten years a Chinese originated version of Linux

Being in the real world rather than in the hectic and unstable 'change

options at this moment? Real users of RHEL/SL/Centos want 

1. stability
2. reliability

Many real users lack the time - because time is always finite - to
comprehensively monitor the multitude of Fedora lists.

Ideally, before RH decides to impose an abstract version of Fedora upon

Bored clever people who never really run anything on a daily basis
should remember that if they wish to play games, then Centos is probably
not the best Linux. Neither is RHEL/SL. Having a high IQ is never an
indication of common, or of any other practical, sense.

[CentOS] Making custom USB install media

2015-01-13 Thread Matt
Hey List,

I apologize for how broad this may be, but hopefully someone here can help
me out. I need to make custom kickstart installers to be used in the field
to install microservers (Intel NUCs, EFI boot) that don't have optical
drives and may not have internet connections.

I can make a custom ISO just fine using the pretty common steps,
specifically following what's here:

http://smorgasbork.com/component/content/article/35-linux/151-building-a-custom-centos-7-kickstart-disc-part-1

My custom kickstart is on the disk, and along with all my packages, and
everything works great on a VM as a CD image.

The problem is I can't get this to install from USB. I can get it to boot
from USB using the isohybrid tool, but the installer fails, can't find the
squashfs image. I don't think this is the right way to do it.

I know the CentOS 7 (and I believe 6.5) images have a "special" EFI
partition that I believe is why USB works with the base image. The problem
is I can't really find any information on how this works or how to recreate
it. When I run fdisk -l on the image (as a loopback device) I see that the
main image is on a partition marked as none, and then there's an EFI
partition with start and end points actually inside the first partition?
I'm afraid I don't really know what this is doing, or how to go about
recreating.

Can anyone explain this to me or point me at some documentation? Am I
missing something obvious, like say the old Revisor tool that I should be
using to make my life much easier?

Any help would be much appreciated,

-Matt

It has marketing value, and that only because people drag along baggage of what 
“enterprise” means.

Red Hat could rename it Red Hat Spiffy Linux without any obligation to make any 
functional change in the end product as a result of the name change.  That 
should tell you how much practical value the term has.

I only dragged Merriam-Webster into this to show that third party arbitration 
doesn’t help settle the argument.  That should tell you that we’re not dealing 
with a single universal sense of the word “enterprise”.  If we can’t agree on 
its meaning, we can’t sensibly argue about how well RHEL adheres to that

If you don’t expect a solution, what *do* you expect to get out of this?  
What's the motivating drive that keeps you posting to this thread?

Catharsis?  I’d hoped we’d passed that point months ago.

Agitation for rebellion?  The only argument that’s going to matter is for 
someone to develop a viable alternative.  Fork EL6, for example.

Bikeshedding?  I think we can all agree that the current bike shed is ugly, but 
that it keeps the rust off.

Soapboxing?  Leverage is more about position than force.  The same amount of 
effort applied elsewhere would have a greater effect.

My reason?  https://xkcd.com/386/

> we need to be looking now for a replacement.

No, you need to be helping develop that replacement now.

Seriously: Look at all the Linuxes out there, decide whether EL7 is still the 
best *on balance*, and if so, decide whether it’s best to get involved with 
Fedora.next so as to drive EL8, or fork it now to create what you actually want 
instead.

If some other Linux is better, the same argument applies.

You’re not going to find “perfect.”  All you’re going to find is the platform 
you think you’ve got the best chance of being successful atop.

Free software is about freedom, and freedom isn’t free.  Like a democracy, 
those who just complain about change after it’s been made don’t actually affect 
anything.  It’s those who get up and push out the *next* change who affect 
where the passive observers go.

>> Please point to an example of an OS or OS-like software distribution
>> that does this.
> 
> Why is that necessary?

Because you agitators are all saying “just” do this, and “just” do that, and 
why can’t it be different?  I am challenging you to show me a system that has 
done “just” those things, and succeeded.

If there are no such systems, there’s probably a good reason for that, given 
that we do not lack for choice in the Linux world.  DistroWatch returns 49 
results for “server Linux”.  (http://goo.gl/Hrto3R)  If you drop the Linux 
requirement, you add another eight options.

If it’s easy, why doesn’t your nirvana distro already exist?

It’s because it *isn’t* easy.  It’s actually work.  Lots of it.  Go ask Patrick 
Volkerding how much work it is to create a *successful* Linux distro that works 
differently from all the others.

I think you’re going to find that it breaks things frequently, as is

Hmmm.. I have dual GeForce 780s (Asus brand) driving 2560x1440 monitors.
However, I am using the NVidia binary drivers.  The problem with using
nouveau is that with that much more real-estate video can bog if you are
doing much beyond launching xterms. In particular, full screen video has
noticeable tearing and even dragging windows across the desktop looks
glitchy. To be clear, it works, just that I hate seeing the visual tearing.


On another system I have a Geforce 650. It also drives a single 2560x1440
monitor without issue.

First, I guess this question would be more suitable for the devel list
than for the users list, but that's just my opinion :)

Second: You have to keep in mind that you would want to apply
also all upstream tests.

This means it would be best to read up on the fedora packaging and
testing guidelines.

I don't know if red hat has published their intern guidelines for
RHEL development (I'm sure there are some).

Well IANAL, but:

imho red hats "terms of service" on their website are not valid
, at least in germany (where I happen to live).
In germany you can not bind someone to some silly "terms of service"
by just displaying them on some random website.

you need to agree to those tos actively somehow (e.g. signing
a contract).

but of course this is IANAL, so you should probably contact
some lawyer about this.

But if I'm right it could at least be possible to create this
data in europe.

I think they just add some applications and management tools for servers.
It's a bit difficult to find out exactly what the differences are supposed
to be.

Somewhat vague though.

[CentOS] DJBDNS: very weird dnscache issue

2015-01-13 Thread Boris Epstein
Hello all,

We have put a DNS server online running  DJBDNS v1.06
(ndjbdns-1.06-1.el6.x86_64) on a 64-bit CentOS 6.6 server. We have done
some limited testing on the machine which it passed - i.e., dnscache was
talking to tinydns, the queries went through fine, etc.

As soon as we put it online subjecting it to live load the following
happened:

1) Within a short time period (about a minute) the dnscache process reached
the CPU utilisation level of 100%.

2) The process would then die reporting the following message to the log:

dnscache: BUG: out of in progress slots

NOTE: Random sampling indicates that at no point sampled did the load
exceed 200 requests per second. In tests conducted earlier the DNS server
successfully demonstrated speeds in tens of thousands of requests per
second.

We then proceeded to edit the following parameters in the dnscache.conf as
they seemed to be the only ones that seemed relevant: DATALIMIT and
CACHESIZE. They are described as limints (in bytes) on the total data
memory allocation and cache, default values are 8000 and 5000
respectively.

Playing with these demonstrated some highly counterintuitive results:

1) Setting the values lower (say, an order of magnitude lower) made the
dnscache process run longer.

2) Shortening the relative gap between the two values (for instance,
setting DATALIMIT at 52000 and CACHE at 5) made it run for about an
hour vs about 1 minute, load seeming to be about the same.

3) Running it with DATALIMIT not set was possible though it eventually
failed anyways.

4) Running it with CACHESIZE not set was not possible at all.

So the issue is currently still not resolved and we are stuck.

Any advice will be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Boris.

The place where it matters is for companies large enough that they
have written their own applications and need a stable OS and library
set to run on.  Every interface change and install/operating procedure
change is going to cost development and training time that would
generally be better spent improving your own application.   If you
just run the applications included in the distribution, it doesn't
matter so much since even if the internal interfaces change, they stay
consistent within the packages the distribution ships together - that
is, someone else has already been forced to deal with the breakage.

And the need for docker as an even more extreme defense against OS/lib
instability really points out the problem.

That's an interesting turn of events, but is this just a separation of
packages or is there really a group in Fedora that actually maintains
large server farms and has an interest in keeping their applications
working?

Is one to infer from that remark that the E in RHEL has no meaning
whatsoever?  And that it should be ignored?  Or perhaps redefined to
whatever is convenient for the moment and the POV of the definer?  In
which case is it anything more than noise?  In any case, the point of

This is, of which you are no-doubt quite cognisant, a straw-man
augment.  Nowhere in this discussion has anyone defined 'rules' or
claimed that rules exist, in Merriam-Wester or elsewhere, in whatever
form you imagine them to take.

This issue, as I see it, is not about CentOS-7 per se.  It is about
the path that RHEL seems to be following at the moment and what that
might mean to current users sometime in the future.  This forum is
where I find those who share my interest in RHEL, albeit in the form
of CentOS.  I am seeking their views on the matter.  I do not expect a
solution here.  Nor would I look for one on any of the multitudinous
mailing lists associated with Fedora.

A solution postulates a problem to solve.  I am simply checking
whether the RH environment suits our needs and whether it is likely to
continue to suit; or is likely to change in ways that might prove most
inconvenient, for us.

We moved to RH5 (or 6 it was a long time ago, pre-RHEL) from HPUX. 
That change was driven equally by economics and a political change at
HP with respect to its clients.  It took the better part of five years
to complete.  If RHEL is changing such that 8 will be less useful than
7 or more considerably expensive to deploy than we can reasonably
afford then we need to be looking now for a replacement.

Why is that necessary?  I am expressing my opinion about the value
derived from the resources expended.  I was not aware that I am not
permitted to express such unless I can point to a representative
distribution which somehow manifests an approach which affirms that
opinion.  That seems a little like saying only a tailor can comment on
whether the emperor is wearing any clothes.

In any case, it seems to me that the rather recent innovation of
software collections indicates that perhaps I am not alone in that
observation.

As it happens a most useful, to me at least, piece of information was
revealed in the course of this thread.  That was the existence of a
server based stream for Fedora.  I have downloaded that ISO and intend
to install it on a VM in the near future.  If the results of that
investigation prove satisfactory then that will go a long way to
alleviating the doubts that my, admittedly limited, experience with
CentOS-7 has engendered thus far.

You will see the same effect on MicroSoft Domains with users using
roaming profiles.  They leave one host with FF open and go to another,
log on and try, vainly, to start FF in the new session.  I presume
this has to do with preventing destructive overwrites of the user's
profile but it is annoying.  Not a Linux problem though.

Sorry, you'll have to find where else you are using IPv6.

[CentOS] SELinux-alert: aide wants to write to /var/run/winbindd/pipe

2015-01-13 Thread Patrick Bervoets

Hi,

does anyone know if aide should have access to this socket?

SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/aide from write access on the sock_file 
/var/run/winbindd/pipe.

Thanks
Patrick

(on CentOS6 if that matters)

The hint often comes after a deeper look on the Internet:
  http://linux.web.cern.ch/linux/scl/
(1.1 and 2 are accessible too, but slightly differently)

Thanks to the Cern, sorry for the noise, at least it serves the
archives.

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 6.6 64-bit won't install on a 3 TB disk

2015-01-13 Thread Nux!
Have you tried manually putting the kernel/initrd files where they are missing 
from?

Having said that, relying on this machine as a server seems questionable under 
the circumstances. :-)

[CentOS] Red Hat Developer Toolset 3 for CentOS6?

2015-01-13 Thread wwp
Hi all,


I could find the 1.1 and 2 repos gently provided by Tru Huynh, but quid
of a v3 of the toolset?

I've just found that Qt 5.4 requires what's shipped in this v3 (gcc
4.9.1, binutils 2.24) and would prefer installing those from a repo. If
not, the sources will rule.

Any hint?
