Ned Slider wrote on 07/20/2012 03:12 PM: One issue I see here is that the original howto was written for CentOS-5 with dovecot 1.x. The OP here is clearly using CentOS-6, which uses dovecot 2.x and no surprises for guessing that there are a few incompatibilities between the config files for dovecot 1 and 2. Personally, I'd suggest forking the original article and maintaining separate versions for CentOS-5 and CentOS-6, or have separate sections within the article for CentOS-5 and CentOS-6 where they differ. To the best of my knowledge this list never did agree a mechanism for handling documentation differences between product versions. The danger is that if we keep editing changes for CentOS-6 into docs for CentOS-5 we will end up with broken useless docs. How do others feel this type of situation should best be handled? I'd say it should be decided on a case-by-case basis, but perhaps some general guidelines would be helpful. If differences can be easily handled by a note here and there then a separate page is probably not justified. If differences are substantial between major releases, then a fork of a new page for the later release may be the best approach.

Please help me understand when i install CentOS 5.8 on a fresh server, what are the available repositories by default and if i need any packages which are not there in the default repos, Do i need to enable third party repositories. On a fresh install only CentOS repositories are installed, and only a subset of those ([base] [updates] [extras]) is enabled. Only you can determine if you need 3rd party repos and if so which. If you need help determining which repos fit your needs, beyond the information on the Wiki repositories pages and links supplied there, then ask on this list or other support venues, such as IRC or fora. The better you can explain what you need, and why core packages do not meet those needs, the better advice you might expect as to what 3rd party repos and packages may fulfill your requirements.

Re: [CentOS-docs] Correction to HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
Yves Bellefeuille wrote on 05/11/2012 11:18 PM: At number 14, the example partition should be /dev/sda1, not /dev/sda2, and whatever device corresponds to the second USB partition should be the first USB partition. I got confused between the installation boot and the ISO image devices. In fact, I think that the USB key will probably be /dev/sdb, not /dev/sda, but you do specify that the user should choose the first partition on the USB key, so the user can decide what's appropriate. I know in at least some of my tests it was /dev/sda but probably depends on the BIOS - need to test again with the updates. At number 15, I think I made a mistake. The BIOS*may* think that the USB key is the first drive, but not necessarily. I think that this depends on whether the user uses Grub or not. In any event, I suggest the BIOS may think that the USB key is the first drive, and the user may have to change the order of the hard drives. As I said, this is my mistake. Sorry I tried to clarify. See how it reads now. At number 16, the example drive for the mount command should be the same as the one mentioned at number 14, so if number 14 refers to /dev/sda1, then number 16 should say mount -t ext3 /dev/sda2 /mnt/isodir (rather then /dev/sdb2). I should have caught that. Anybody know where to find the bug mentioned in #7? I can't seem to turn it up.

Would you like to check that it now reads correctly, please? There are a few more points that should be added. They should all appear after the end of the current list. During the installation process, the user is asked What type of media contains the installation image? The user should select the first partition on the USB key, which usually appears in the menu under Hard drive, then /dev/sdb1. After partitioning, the user is asked whether to install the Grub boot loader and where to install it. After booting from the USB key, the BIOS thinks that the USB key is the first drive. To install the Grub boot loader on the hard drive, which is the usual case, the user must change the order of the hard drives using the Grub installation options. After the Grub installation options, the following error message appears: Missing ISO 9660 image: The installer has tried to mount image #1, but cannot find it on the hard drive. The installation program is looking for the ISO file on the first partition of the USB key, but it's on the second partition. The user should go to a terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F2), unmount the first partition of the USB key (umount /mnt/isodir), mount the second partition (mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb2 /mnt/isodir), return to the installation program (Ctrl-Alt-F6) and choose Retry. (Unmounting /dev/sdb1 doesn't interfere with the installation process. I tried creating a link from /dev/sdb1 to the ISO image, but that didn't work, because /dev/sdb1 contains a VFAT or FAT32 flle system which doesn't support links.)

Re: [CentOS] Cannot remove lvs associated with deleted vm guests
Pardon the top-post and cross-post, but this apparently should have gone to centos-v...@centos.org Phil chris procter wrote on 01/27/2012 03:29 PM: Hi, Its ages since I came across this problem so my memory is a little hazey but something is obviously holding on to the lv so you'll need to figure out whats holding it and kill that. The open value returned by dmsetup info is how many things have the device file open), it looks to be 2 at the moment and you cant dmsetup remove untill its zero (lvm might be one of them I cant remember) A few things worth trying are 1) make sure its not mounted anywhere! 2) if multipathd is running try stopping that. 3) either lsof or fuser on the device file may be able to tell you which process has it open 4) something vm related might not have let go properly, are there any deamons/processes etc still running? 5) reboot, the sledgehammer aproach to killing off processes!! 6) you could try hitting it with dmsetup again, you need to suspend the device first using dmsetup suspend which *may* persuade the holding process to let go, if it does reduce the open count you'll need to dmsetup resume and then suspend again untill open reaches zero when dmsetup remove should work. I'd try and avoid this option if you can, you're messing beneath the lvm layer and it may not like that, should be ok but... if none of that is possible/works you could try asking on the lvm-linux list. Reinstalling really shouldn't be necesary. chris - Original Message - From: James B. Byrnebyrn...@harte-lyne.ca To: centos-v...@centos.org; centos@centos.org Cc: Sent: Friday, 27 January 2012, 17:50 Subject: [CentOS] Cannot remove lvs associated with deleted vm guests At the beginning of January I encountered a problem where several vm guests on a single host somehow managed to see the the virtual disks assigned to other guests on the same hosts. I was unable to resolve this situation and shutdown the affected guests after creating new guest instances and moving the services and data off the corrupted guests. I have since removed these guests via virt-manager but all attempts to remove from the host the logical volumes associated with the former VirtIO disks fail. The volumes are considered open by lvremove and nothing I have tried can get them to close for removal. The --force option has no effect on this situation. # /sbin/lvremove -f /dev/vg_vhost01/lv_vm_base Can't remove open logical volume lv_vm_base # dmsetup info -c vg_vhost01-lv_vm_base Name Maj Min Stat Open Targ Event UUID vg_vhost01-lv_vm_base 253 5 L--w21 0 LVM-gXMt00E1RDjpSX3INLZ35Prtg66aX36BeAOlKIkmfSNQRNol3Hni920R4YVaZr52 # dmsetup remove vg_vhost01-lv_vm_base device-mapper: remove ioctl failed: Device or resource busy Command failed There are several bugs filed on similar issues and udev is sometimes identified as the culprit. If I kill the udev daemon with T=`pidof -x udevd`; kill $T and rerun the lvremove -f command then I see this change in behaviour: # /sbin/lvremove -f /dev/vg_vhost01/lv_vm_base Found duplicate PV djM23m6YebBQ2xgPh9ORMtdX2iOu9xBQ: using /dev/mapper/vg_vhost01-lv_vm_pas.harte--lyne.cap2 not /dev/mapper/vg_vhost01-lv_vm_pgsql--dbms.harte--lyne.ca_00p2 Found duplicate PV djM23m6YebBQ2xgPh9ORMtdX2iOu9xBQ: using /dev/mapper/vg_vhost01-lv_vm_basep2 not /dev/mapper/vg_vhost01-lv_vm_pas.harte--lyne.cap2 Can't remove open logical volume lv_vm_base I need to get this system stable and return the lost disk space to the storage pool. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to proceed? If I cannot solve this using the available system commands then prudence dictates that I have to re-install the server OS and rebuild all of the vm guests. As these guests have been laboriously transferred from other hosts during the past month this is a task I would rather not have to do.

If they needed any that is. In my experience packages that need dependencies from more than one 3rd party repo tend to be problematic. The more different repos required the more problems with conflicts between repos and different packaging philosophies. If you can confine your dependencies to at most one or two repos, then life will be easier for both you and any potential users of the packages. Again, once you have working packages, then offering to contribute and maintain them at the repo[s] on which they depend would be a good idea.

Re: [CentOS] How to install binutils-devel on Centos Linux5.5
Frank Chang wrote on 04/21/2011 05:36 PM: Simon Matter and Ned Slider, Thank you for your answers. This afternoon , I installed binutils-devel on Centos Linux 5.5. Then , I installed all the QT packages except for the two QT client packages. When I ran ./configure --with-kernel-support on the OProfile Linux profiler distribution 0.9.6, I get the warning: a working QT was not found: no GUI was built. How do I resolve this issue on Centos Linux 5.5? Thank you. First, the current release is 5.6, so 5.5 is unsupported. More than likely, the QT package on CentOS is not new enough to be compatible with a Fedora 14 package. Either run Fedora, wait for CentOS-6 which has a better chance of working, or try an evaluation copy of RHEL6, or give Scientific Linux 6 a test drive in the interim.

I would advocate posting it to this list and making it part of the Announcement post as well. This issue was discussed on IRC channels (#centos-devel and/or #centos-qa - don't remember with certainty) and Akemi made the forum post, so it was known by those who were paying attention to those specific venues. A wider reporting of an issue of this magnitude is certainly warranted. I think I set a good example by reporting the breakage in xorg-x11-server-utils. Also mentioned in the forum thread, and thanks. ... The issue is a bit more severe than just breaking evolution. It also breaks the gnome desktop by crashing gnome panels.

Yeah, I had the same problem with missing php_mcrypt. ;) I did a full rebuild of php53 with patched spec so that it produces php53_mcrypt but that is not very elegant. The more elegant way to do it is to make an rpm for only the missing modules like EPEL's php-extras. So I'm interested in this, too. Another possibility is using what IUS has already done and installing php53u packages.

Downloading the upstream RPM now, will see how that goes... I sound like a shill for IUS this morning - not the case I assure you - but they have php53u-mssql-5.3.6-1.ius.el5 Probably will not work unless you uninstall php or php53 and install their whole set.

It may be that no such project exists today, but if a truly open and cooperative EL rebuild effort existed, it might be good for CentOS. SL does not hurt CentOS and there is some interchange and sharing of knowledge. Their goals are somewhat different, and they have a growing team of paid developers, but they address many of the same issues, and Johnny has mentioned looking at their packages. An independent volunteer EL rebuild effort could help attack some of the rebuild issues without interfering with CentOS processes; but technical interchange could be mutually beneficial, particularly if the projects were not mutually hostile. A bit of healthy competition might not be a bad thing either. Phil P.S.

There is apparently something buggy related to the new kernel (2.6.18-238.5.1.el5). How far did it get during the boot - to where the GUI login should have been displayed, or did it die earlier?
