Thanks Mauricio,

Actually, the process you describe is the same as the one I described, 
with the difference that we use the same mount point for the new 
location (after unmounting the nfs mount), so we don't need to edit 
/etc/passwd.


I completed this procedure successfully.

Thanks again,

  So,

1. Make sure both users are not logged in.
2. Create new mountpoints
3. Edit fstab to point to new mountpoints.
4. Edit /etc/passwd to refer to the new mountpoint for the two users
5. mount -a

Would that do the trick for you?

[CentOS] Urgent: Need to change the location of a directory tree

[Nikolaos Milas]

Hi,

I am running CentOS 7 (fully updated) on a VM. This has a mounted nfs 
share (via fstab) (which mounts a remote storage system) on which we 
have created the home directories of 2 users


Here are the home directories:

/mynfsmount
|
|--/user1
|--/user1

We want to move this whole branch from the mounted NFS share to the 
local disk.


What is the way to do so?

Would it be enough to create a "mirror" branch on the local disk, say:

/mynfsmount2
   |
   |--/user1
   |--/user1

(which is no more an nfsmount, despite the name), then remove the mount 
from fstab and the initial mount point /scimount and finally rename 
/scimount2 to /scimount ?


Does it sound OK? Will we need to modify any other system info so that 
the above homes work correctly at their new location?


Thanks a lot,
Nick

I’m not sure what you are describing.

You should be booting from a CentOS install CD, into rescue mode, as was 
described previously:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/ap-rescuemode.html#s1-rescuemode-boot

Once you’ve booted into the rescue mode, you should choose the option to mount 
the OS partitions and chroot into the OS, as described here:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/rescuemode_drivers.html

… but instead of removing any packages, you should start your network with 
‘service network start’ and then ‘yum install kernel’.

Please record the output of this effort, and if you get any errors or it 
doesn’t work, be prepared to include the text in any further requests for 
support.

I guess you’re going to give up on this system, then?

You’d have a lot less down time if you didn’t delete things without 
understanding what you’re deleting.

I was trying for grub. But it does not show me anything. Hence confused.
One of the guy posted that after deleting kernel and reinstalling solve the
issue. I tried to follow that method.
The grub does not show the folder which shows in the sample.
Grub prompt me about xps system.
When I am installing Kernell why it is not updating the kernell in boot?

Have seen a few separate emails about this topic and based on the
collective information you provided; I assume that the kernel that you
deleted to 'try' and resolve a network issue was not reinstalled. If you
still haven't reinstalled the kernel you will need to do so before you can
see or add it into grub.

per https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-1306.htm  the fix for 7187 
and 7186 is already included in the updated fix that was released a 
couple days ago, bash-4.1.2-15.el6_5.2 etc.

That is correct, the latest released update patches all the known issues
so far for all 3 Active versions of CentOS (CentOS-5, CentOS-6,
CentOS-7) and was released within 21 Minutes after the announcement by
RedHat of the RHEL releases.

So, for now, we are all caught up.

 Repeating it three times doesn't make an arrogant statement more true.

 There are corporate environments that cannot upgrade for various reasons.
 Also, the history and performance of e.g autofs on RHEL/CentOS is truly
 awful. 5.4 does quite well in this regard, and later releases don't.

 Obviously, there is no excuse for not upgrading Internet facing systems.

I read the thread before replying, and didn't see anyone mention that, 
if one needs an open source stay-on-a-point-release setup, one should 
investigate Scientific Linux, which does do this.  Yes, you can stay on 
5.4 and get only the security updates.  This is one of the differences 
between SL and CentOS.  (now, they only build for releases where 
upstream releases sources; thus, if you're on EL4, no updates for you.).


The latest shellshock update from SL, for SL 5.4 x86_64 (which would 
install on C5.4 unmodified, I would imagine), is:

ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/54/x86_64/updates/security/bash-3.2-33.el5_11.4.x86_64.rpm

For certain scientific applications, there are serious reasons to stay 
at a point release, and SL supplies to this niche.


If I were to need this specific niche here I would run SL at a point 
release without hesitation.

Sorry for my brief input but the intention was exactly what you extracted 
from the URI above and its valid only for the upstream. CentOS will stay 
always on the latest release as you also stated. 

 IMHO they are rare cases where some one are technically forced to stay 
on older releases. I do not argue that they didn't exist. We should not 
forget the context; stable ABI, API and mayor releases of the provided 
components, and not like e.g. Fedora with there bleeding edge approach 
(valid for there scenarios).   

It would be great to get some feedback what such cases 
are, that let people stay on older releases?

Upstream can change the kernel module API quite violently in minor
releases, which means that hardware products that have associated
kernel modules often are a release behind.

Certification is another source of lag. It can take a while to certify
that the test suite for a complicated product (like a commercial
database) runs successfully on a new minor release. Some vendors skip
half the minor releases (or more) to reduce cost.

A third source is companies with homegrown code deployed on CentOS
servers and poor-quality test suites. They tend to be in the omg
never change anything unless forced at gunpoint! camp. It's an
unfortunate situation, and it can cost a lot of money and time to fix.

Not sure that this goes in the FAQ, though!

No. If people have a good reason for doing it, they will generally know that

That's good, but I suspect that the question might not make it obvious that
people need to read it. How about this additional Q/A?

Q. I want to run an old minor release of CentOS, for example staying
with CentOS 5.4 when the latest version is 5.10. Is that smart?

A. No. CentOS only updates the most recent of each of the major
versions. For example, for CentOS 5, if the most recent minor version
is 5.10, then that is the only version that is receiving security
updates.  CentOS 5.4 is frozen and never gets any updates. That means
that CentOS 5.4 is vulnerable to the shellshock problem.

If you really need to run an old minor version, you should consider
paying for the upstream Enterprise Linux. They keep all the old minor
versions up-to-date with regard to security fixes. CentOS does not.

or in another way of looking at it, when you apply all outstanding

Good afternoon!

Not necessarily.  The whole point of the way 'enterprise' OS versions
keep their library APIs consistent means you can usually any package
without breaking things - and that should apply to internal packages
as well as your own.   And system packages that need specific versions
should say so in their rpm dependencies to bring them along if you try
to update.

I also forgot to specify in my reply that these commands would only repair

I think the fortunate thing is that everything else important on the

luckily there doesn't seem to be anything important affected by my

I *think* I probably could had quickly reinstall a bare minimum C6 to

In a moment of epic stupidity, having ran out of space on the root
partition of a server due to /var chewing up the space, I added a
separate drive for the purpose of mounting it as /var

To do so, I mounted the new drive as /var2, cp -R (in hindsight should
had rsync to preserve attributes), deleted the original /var to free
up space, edited fstab and rebooted... unsurprisingly to a fubar'd
server.

The thing is it still boots, I can get into single user mode but a
full init get stuck at starting the syslogger. What is the best way to
rescue the server now from my own stupidity and keeping all the

Thank you so much!

Turning off selinux allowed me get the system running.
However, after running fixfiles to restore the context for /var, I
still cannot boot to init 5, with the choke point now NFS statd.

I'll probably have to slowly hunt down the relevant selinux context

If you copied a live /var over to the new partition you might have
issues from stale lock files that prevent services from
starting. /var/lock/subsys/nfsd comes to mind in this particular case.
If the service ain't running that file shouldn't be there.

I don't think stale pid files are as troublesome but it doesn't hurt to
have a look at /var/run as well.

The quick fix might be to just not use the onboard ethernet1 port

[CentOS] URGENT -- pseudo network interface creating problem with dhcp-- centos 5.5

[sri]

Group,

My linux box, running with Centos-5.5, is showing up (??) a pseudo
network interface for Eth0.
On Switch where my Eth0 is connected, observed 2 MAC-Addresses.
If a DHCP server present in LAN, the second pseudo interface is
picking up a DHCP IP Address too.
Furthermore you can ping both Eth0 ip and Psedo Eth0 IP from the switch.
The intensity of the problem is more when port-security is configured
on SW for that port.

“ifconfig –a” is not showing that pseudo interface.
From dmesg output, no new things observed related while detecting the
eth0 NIC during bootup.
Only proof for this pseudo inerface’s mac address is SW showing it (on
the SW port connected to my box eth0) in “show mac address-table”
output

Is there anything that I have to check to nail down the issue.

Any pointers are highly appreciated.

I did not understand your issue:

- Do you want the pseudo interface not to get a DHCP answer?
- Do you want the switch not to see your pseudo interface?
- Do you want to locate exactly where is the pseudo interface?

well, first, does your motherboard *HAVE* an IPMI management module, and 
if so, does it use a  dedicated ethernet port, or is it 'piggybacked' on 
eth0 ?   the behavior shown could be the latter.

I'd look in the system or motherboard documentation for this...   
depending on the IPMI module, it may have a web or ssh interface, or it 
may require another system contact it via an 'ipmitool' of some sort.   
It probably has an initial user/pass like admin/admin which should be 
reconfigured during system configuration and deployment.

There might be an option in the bios setup to disable IPMI or give it
a static address.

And are you really sure it is from this machine?   If you
disconnect/shut down, do both IP's stop responding?  If you can't
trace the wiring from the switch port you are checking to the host,
maybe there is an intermediate switch/hub with some other device.

[CentOS] [URGENT] Assistance Requested in Looking for Dr Francis T. Seow, Harvard Law School Research Fellow

[Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)]

Hi,

First, I would like to apologize for the out-of-topic post. I will keep 
this as short as I possibly could.

Does anybody know Dr. Francis T. Seow, the former Solicitor-General from 
the Republic of Singapore? I want to contact him but can't seem to find 
his email address or telephone number on the internet. Could you help me?

Do you also know how I can contact all the justices of the Judicial 
Committee of the UK Privy Council and all the Lords of the UK House of 
Lords? According to the UK Parliament website, it says that many Peers 
do not have public email addresses.

I would like to apologize again for using this platform to get my 
message across as my email accounts may have been compromised.

Thank you very much.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Christopher,

I have sent countless emails to many governmental, non-governmental and 
international organizations in the world with the subject Plea for 
Medical Help/Assistance. But surprisingly I get very few replies. Maybe 
the replies have been deleted or the emails I sent have been deleted.

EDIT: I overheard my neighbours claiming to have passwords/access to my

 Or he could just ask the Lord of Privies. In fact, I reckon he'd even be

Maybe you should start by contacting Harvard? This is a list for

should search the archives first? I noticed you also posted this
message to the Ubuntu tech help mailing list; have you ever seen him
on there either?

Who is the bloke anyway? Is he just some bloke who has nothing to do
with either CentOS  or Ubuntu because if that is the case what are you
doing? Use a phone book, contact Harvard, use Facebook, whatever. What
are the odds of someone here knowing him? Btw, does anyone here have
some contact details for Batman?

 Do you also know how I can contact all the justices of the Judicial

Write them a letter, ring them up, I don't know and I don't care, stop

Don't take this the wrong way, but you are trying to reach someone who
probably has nothing todo with this, or most other Linux related mailing
lists. And you're making a lot of people angry by doing this.

Phone harvard, or google his name. Or drive there and ask someone where he
is. or something.

P.S. Stop apologizing as well, just stop posting to these lists, it's
probably for your own good.

Thousands of bad sectors? Today, order/walk in and buy a replacement

Your other option is to have no computer, because if it's in the thousands
of bad sectors, you probably had a head crash, and the drive *will* be

And equally important: even with a new disk, be sure you have backups.

No, the host is Fedora 10.  The KVM guest is CentOS 5.3 running kernel 
2.6.18-128.1.6.el5.  The filesystem activity caused corruption on the 
filesystem being stressed (barely).

I've also seen corruption on a CentOS 5.3 install running on a physical 
machine.

One of my friends is now attempting to reproduce the corruption on Red 
Hat's release of the same package, and I'm trying to reproduce the 
corruption on 2.6.18-128.  I suggest that anyone using that kernel check 
their filesystems and report any corruption that they find.

Sorry! This may get you to run some Diagnostics from the manufacturer
of the Hard Drive in that box. Since it installed  OK, on your box at
home, it is something you probably/possibly could have thought would
have gone OK on your Workstation at work.
Brings up my earlier suggestion of trying it on VMWare Server. My
experience with stuff from RPMforge is that it works AOK, but, I've
never tried that particular package.

A gentle reminder to backup your Workstation. Years ago, a colleague
of mine was working in the Northeast. She hadn't backed up for a long
time (A *very* smart woman, but not to have backed up is *wrong*). One
day, there was a problem with her PC and a Tech came and reformatted
the hard drive. She lost months of work..

[CentOS] URGENT: libdvdcss install hosed /var

[MHR]

I am running CentOS 5/2 (latest updates) with the GNOME DE on a 32-bit
machine (at work).

I have k3b installed, and I was trying to copy a DVD earlier this
morning, but k3b said it couldn't read encrypted DVDs.

So, I installed libdvdcss from rpmforge and restarted k3b.  It hung
the system.  I rebooted, and / had been damaged.  After running e2fsck
from the repair prompt, I rebooted and a whole slew of errors
revolving around various /var directories that did not ecist occurred.

I have been trying to repair /var, and so far with a fair modicum of
success, but I've hit an interesting wall - two, actually.

1) The gdm refuses to come up.  It claims that Server Authorization
directory (daemon/ServAuthDir) is set to /var/gdm, but this does not
exist

However:

# ll -d /var/gdm
drwxrwx--T 2 root gdm 4096 Dec 11 10:31 /var/gdm
# ll /var/gdm
total 8
-rw-r- 1 root root 45 Nov 26 10:47 :0.Xauth
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 63 Dec 11 09:14 :0.Xservers

This is identical to my backup system (which is not surprising - I set
up the dir and copied the files from here - was that a bad idea?).

2) The following daemons fail to start: auditd, NFS statd, avahi and
HAL.  I've tried to pin down why the avahi daemon won't start because
it keeps logging permissions errors trying to create the pid file
/var/run/avahi-daemon//pid, but the setup of /var /var/run and
/var/run/avahi-daemon are all identical to this (backup) machine.  Any
suggestions?

Or is there a better, more comprehensive repair facility available?

BTW, OT: Does anyone know why this might have happened?  I have all
this installed at home, no problems whatsoever (libdvdcss works
seamlessly with all my DVD tools, including k3b).

Thanks!

A common cause of failures like that is damaged directory permissions
near the top of the filesystem hierarchy, often as a result of
unpacking a tar archive into the root directory.

Mark: If you trace it back to the libdvdcss package from rpmforge,
notify them about it. Strange that it works OK for you at home and you
hosed your Workstation at work, but that's Murphy's Law. Good luck
getting it working! Possibly try this again, under VMWare, when you
are relaxed and want to see if it can be recreated. Lanny
