Re: [CentOS] Prelink failure
We were not able to resolve our issue and decided to disable prelink (there seems to be much differing opinions as to whether or not prelink is still required). If you decide to disable prelink then Dag Wieers has instructions on his web site on how to do this: Hugh, I found out what caused the problem and worked around it. I remembered a recent posting to the networker mailing list where certain system tools stopped working correctly since the networker libraries were in the library search path; networker is what sets this machine apart from the other CentOS6 machines. Using trial and error, and file listings for the networker rpms, I narrowed the problem down and was able to avoid it by adding # cd /etc/prelink.conf.d # cat networker.conf -b /usr/lib/nsr # ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

From: Lars Hecking Sent: September 28, 2012 05:30 I have a number of CentOS6 machines, and on one of them, the daily prelink cron job aborts. Any ideas what to look for? Hi Lars: I can not tell you much about prelink however we recently encountered a similar problem. Check the /var/log/prelink/prelink.log file for more details on what caused the abort. We were not able to resolve our issue and decided to disable prelink (there seems to be much differing opinions as to whether or not prelink is still required). If you decide to disable prelink then Dag Wieers has instructions on his web site on how to do this: http://dag.wieers.com/howto/compatibility/ So far we have not noticed any significant performance issues as a result of this change.

Prelink is useful on desktop systems where it improves the startup performance of applications. On a server you don't really care if apache, mysql, etc. take 50ms longer to start.
