This looks like an LSI controller, so you might ask them for help.  Or
if you have a support contract you can ask Dell.

I was getting similr messages.  To my knowledge I'm not
using ipa, free or otherwise.  They were conflicting, so I
removed one.  No more conflicts

All these disks currently in raid10, plus one more, were

Although inconsistent the volume is in the OS and appears

The idea is to use one .css file for entire web sites, or large

Thanks to all that replied. I had ran nmap against from the private side and 
saw it
had a service listening on port 80, so I pointed my browser at it and a webpage
came up. I looked like it was for setting up the "Wireless" because that is 
what the
menu button said, so I initially didn't investigate it until after I had sent 
my previous
message. Turns out it gives you full access to setting up port forwarding, DMZ, 
firewall, etc.
So it looks like I can use DMZ mode an be in business.

Regards,
Steve

PS Brighthouse/Spectrum in my area lets you BYOD from a pretty large list they 
have certified
on their network.

[CentOS] tmp option of crypttab

[Leon Fauster]

I have successfully used the swap option of crypttab (# man crypttab)
to encrypt the swap partition dynamically. rc.sysinit enables that 
swap partition successfully at the right point (after encryption). 

The same doesn't work for the tmp option of crypttab (# man crypttab).
The encrypted partition is present after booting the system. Manually   
mounting it works but adding "/dev/mapper/luks-tmp" into fstab shows that 
the boot process tries to mount it to early (not encrypted yet). 

This is confusing because other encrypted volumes (not dynamically) 
in fstab are successfully mounted. It seems that volumes with random 
keys are skipped at that stage. 

Does someone use a tmp directory with dynamic encryption enabled?

Exactly how long *should* yum check take?  In the vein of "Doctor, Doctor, it

[CentOS-virt] USB passthrough for usb wireless nic adapter

[C. L. Martinez]

Hi all,

 I am trying to use usb passthrough for an usb wireless adapter to a
kvm guest under a CentOS7 host.

 Guest can connect to an AP and sometimes receives an IP and sometimes
not. But when and IP address is assigned by an AP (and defaultroute),
nothing works. If I try to resolv any host like for example
www.google.com, there is no result ... Trying to ping 8.8.8.8 doesn't
works also.

 Does usb passthrough works for usb wireless nic adapters? Or only for
storage devices?

Many thanks for your help.

Another thing to check is the wiring to the house.  If this is a cable company, 
it is likely that the cable to the cable modem splits off to the TV(s).  Make 
sure there are not any unterminated co-ax cable which used to go to a TV.  Make 
sure the cable outside the house is not damaged.  The cable company can test 
for bad cable at your location.  They may charge for this.  You could get a 
length of co-ax and swap it in in various places to see if the problems go 
away.

I bought an Arris Surfboard Cable Modem/Gateway instead of leasing one from
them for $15/mo.

I don't use the WIFI as I already have a wireless access point connected. It
does have a 'guest' feature

I haven't been there in a while, but in the past, I've gotten a lot of

utility out

of the DSLReports Forums[1].  There are private forums that will put you

in

direct contact with technical people at your ISP.
It can sometimes be a good way to side-step the general customer service
hotline and get in touch with an actual engineer rather than a script

reader.

Maybe not, but worst-case you're only out some time.
Also, you might post this same question to one of the public forums over

Thanks for the info.

I've seen that site before so I might check it out.

My router/modem has a log. Its loaded with errors I can't interpret. I
googled a portion of it and landed on TWC forums.

Didn't see much of an answer.

Hopefully it's a temporary thing as it just started.  I don't think it's a

Hi,

What kind of cable modem/gateway do you have? Just wondering because my 12 year 
old Toshiba finally
crapped out and Spectrum gave me a new one. Its and ARRIS TG1682G and it only 
gives me a private IP not
like the old one which gave me the public IP so I can't ssh to home from work 
anymore, so I am wondering
how you do it?

Thanks,
Steve

You can clone that git project from git.centos.org, then checkout the
'c7' branch and fix the issue on your branch .. then use the git
--format-patch option as explained here:

https://ariejan.net/2009/10/26/how-to-create-and-apply-a-patch-with-git/

Then you can send your patch (attached to an email) to the CentOS-Devel
mailing list (https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel)
and I will import it into the git repo and fix the package.



Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
