Re: [CentOS-docs] nspluginwrapper
Scott Robbins wrote: As the subject of nspluginwrapper came up recently, it might be worth mentioning that it's not properly documented. The README seems to be the official nspluginwrapper README, which, oddly enough, states that it's used with the command nspluginwrapper However, RedHat based systems seem to all use mozilla-config-plugin. (I'm not sure about other distributions--FreeBSD uses the more intuitive command nspluginwrapper and gives a message about its usage upon installation.) The only way I discovered this was by googling and coming across the unofficial Fedora FAQ. I don't know if it merits a wiki entry, but perhaps either a README.RedHat or even a small FAQ entry might be useful. It would just require a couple of lines, to the effect of Note that the command to run nspluginwrapper is mozilla-config-plugins. Running mozilla-config-plugins --help will show the available options. It may be documented elsewhere, but it's not easy to find. At least, I didn't find it in the wiki or FAQ. The Japanese page which does come up in a wiki search only mentions it as a package, with no indications about its use. (My Japanese reading is weak, but even someone who can't read it at all will see that it's only mentioned once in a list of packages. I don't know if it's of any help as I've not used nspluginwrapper before, but I stumbled across this guide by Tammy Fox recently: http://www.linuxheadquarters.com/howto/64-bit/flash64.shtml Thought I'd mention it in case it might be useful for anyone putting together any documentation on the subject. ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs
[CentOS-docs] wiki contribution
Hi, I wanted to add a few notes in the wiki on the fastestmirror plugin on how you can add exclude info in the fastestmirror.conf file. This became important because amazingly ucalgary.ca shows up as a fastestmirror for servers I have in both Nevada and New York. However, the mirror is horribly slow for actual downloads and frequently times out. So, I just want to add info on how to add the exclude clause to this page: http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/FastestMirror Thanks, John ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs

However, you would have to enter the ranges by country. I can use those perhaps but that would mean I would have to get the ranges for each country one by one. Has anyone here a list of addresses from Africa already? It would definitely be a time saver for me. My firewall uses IP blocking by CIDR. Thanks, Matt -- Stand before it and there is no beginning.

You can always just disable the yum-fastestmirror plugin if its not
working well for you. In /etc/yum/pluginconf.d there should be a file
called fastestmirror.conf - look in there, and change enabled=1 to
enabled=0. Might be worth running it with verbose=1 for a little while
to work out whats going on. Perhaps also reduce the maxhostfileage value
to have fastestmirror speed check each mirror more often.
There is also always the option of only using mirrors you know work
well. To do that, comment out the mirrorlist= lines from
/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo and replace them with baseurl=url to
mirror. You can have multiple mirrors listed there. man yum.conf for
more info on that.

I wonder if running yum update yum* first would help, before doing the full yum update? In my case with CentOS v5.2, I saw yum got updated too, and since then yum works blazingly fast for me.

[CentOS] Centos 5.2 kickstart install from USB Pen failed
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I usually use DHCP to install CentOS boxes via kickstart. For a first install, I boot the machine on the CentOS first CD, I type linux ks at the prompt and the rest is automatic. I have already use USB pen to boot some servers that don't have CD-ROM drive and all went well with the diskboot.img of CentOS 5.1. But the diskboot.img of CentOS 5.2 seems to be unable to deal with the kickstart parameters passed by DHCP. The embedded DHCP client does not get the filename option value and seems to have problems with the DNS server (even if the next-server is correctly resolved). The installer fails at the moment of getting the kickstart file and asks me to enter a alternate location. There is a warning about the DNS server on the console, and it shows that the filename is set to (null). All went well with the 5.1 diskboot.img, with the same hardware, same DHCP configuration, and the same kickstart configuration (but with a 5.1 install tree). Anyone having the same problem ?

Re: [CentOS] nfs cannot see mount points on other machine
Jason Pyeron wrote on Thu, 26 Jun 2008 18:03:49 -0400: Any ideas what the dangerous inode confusion is about? Is it relevant today? I have no idea. I think the proposed problem is that the client doesn't know that it's traversing filesystems, so, the same inode number on filesystem / and /b is each time the inode number on /. I have no idea if this can actually happen or how this is worked out or if it is still a problem. But I think the way it is now by default is not a good solution. As I wrote you can work and copy to these faked folders and they disappear and reappear with mounting although they are actually somewhere on the local filesystem. It looks like the mounting creates a local directory listing that is only available when it's mounted. The way it works without nohide is really able to trick you to think you are writing to the remote side, but you aren't. I think this is dangerous. They should indeed have *hidden* those folders instead of faking them. The talk about hidden is wrong in my eyes. They do not hide they pretend things that are not there. From that perspective I think using nohide is the better option. But I don't know if that inode problem could really hit or not. I haven't seen it so far. I think what would be a bad idea is to cross-mount the nfs shares themselves, but this is prevented unless you explicitely export them.

Re: [CentOS] Starting a Local CentOS Mirror
Art Age Software wrote: Hi all, I would like to set up a local CentOS mirror, as suggested by others on this list, to cut down on bandwidth usage, etc. I have read a couple HowTos and it seems pretty straight-forward, but I do have some questions. 1) How should I change my entries in /etc/yum.repos.d? Specifically, should I replace CentOS-Base.repo with my own .repo file? You probably need to edit your CentOS-Base.repo file. See my suggested way in the answer to your next question. 2) Is there a way to configure yum to prefer the local repo, but use an external mirror if the local is not available? Yes You can just add one baseurl=local_path line to your CentOS-Base.repo file for each section ([base], [updates], etc.) ... while still leaving the mirrorlist= one enabled. Then install the yum-fastestmirror plugin ... fastest mirror SHOULD always pick your local mirror, and if it is not available it should pick the next fastest one listed. 3) What is the best practice around keeping the local repo updated? A once-a-day cron job to rsync from an external mirror? If this is the correct approach, is there a way to rsync from a mirror list so that updates won't fail if a particular mirror happens to be unavailable when the cron job runs? We do not provide public syncs from our infrastructure except for public mirrors (people who are allowing public access to their mirrors) ... however, there are about 200 public mirrors, some of which provide rsync.

Kai Schaetzl wrote: Jason Pyeron wrote on Thu, 26 Jun 2008 18:03:49 -0400: Any ideas what the dangerous inode confusion is about? Is it relevant today? I have no idea. I think the proposed problem is that the client doesn't know that it's traversing filesystems, so, the same inode number on filesystem / and /b is each time the inode number on /. I have no idea if this can actually happen or how this is worked out or if it is still a problem. But I think the way it is now by default is not a good solution. As I wrote you can work and copy to these faked folders and they disappear and reappear with mounting although they are actually somewhere on the local filesystem. It looks like the mounting creates a local directory listing that is only available when it's mounted. The way it works without nohide is really able to trick you to think you are writing to the remote side, but you aren't. I think this is dangerous. They should indeed have *hidden* those folders instead of faking them. The talk about hidden is wrong in my eyes. They do not hide they pretend things that are not there. From that perspective I think using nohide is the better option. But I don't know if that inode problem could really hit or not. I haven't seen it so far. I think what would be a bad idea is to cross-mount the nfs shares themselves, but this is prevented unless you explicitely export them. I don't understand your talk about fake directories. They are not fake, they truly exist in the filesystem. It's just that another filesystem is being overlaid in that dir. Some fs like dev, proc, sys exist only in memory and are created on the fly at boottime, others are just disk partitions. Nothing mysterious there. That NFS only exports a single partition at a time is probably due to the duplicate inode problem - maybe other stuff - I don't know. At any rate, just export the additional fs and mount it where you like. Again, nothing mysterious and it has been done that way since NFS was invented. Want to prove that your fake dirs are not fake? Boot the rescue CD and don't have it automatically find your Linux partitions. Mount what ever's your / partition on /tmp/sysimage. There's /tmp/sysimage/dev and it has an inode number. Let's mkdir /tmp/sysimage/dev/testdirontherootpartition. That has an inode number too. Boot back to the OS - /dev/testdirontherootpartition doesn't exist - it's been overlaid by the udev system. Boot back to the resue CD - /tmp/sysimage/dev/testdirontherootpartition is there - same inode as it was before. Same goes for your /home dir when it's a separate partition - if /home is not mounted, anything you write there will be written to the root partition and will be hidden when /home is mounted. -- Toby Bluhm Alltech Medical Systems America, Inc. 30825 Aurora Road Suite 100 Solon Ohio 44139 440-424-2240 ext203 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The disadvantages are that you have to have it unmounted while making the copy (boot from a CD) and it takes a long time to complete since you have to copy even the unused blocks. There is also the possibility that your working disk will develop a bad spot that you don't realize until you hit it during the copy, leaving you with 2 bad disks (rotating 2 copies would avoid this issue). Clonezilla-live is a boot-from CD linux that will copy just the used portions of the disk and can save to another disk or image files on local disks or over the network. I'd recommend it over dd, but maybe someone has a way to do LVM snapshots so the copy can be done without a reboot. I'm downloading the .iso for clonezilla-live now.

Re: [CentOS] backup with dd
Hiep Nguyen wrote: Clonezilla-live is a boot-from CD linux that will copy just the used portions of the disk and can save to another disk or image files on local disks or over the network. I'd recommend it over dd, but maybe someone has a way to do LVM snapshots so the copy can be done without a reboot. I'm downloading the .iso for clonezilla-live now. It's a very small download. 81.2 MB i don't know if this is possible, but assume my centos box's motherboard goes sour, can i just take its hard drive and put on similar pc? The disk is probably the most likely single thing to fail, but within some constraints you can move the disk around - and the same issues apply to image copies and backups. The main thing is that the driver for the disk controller has to be included in the kernel or initrd, so for example, moving a scsi disk with the boot/root partitions to a machine with a different controller will be a problem. You can fix this with some contortions to rebuild the initrd with the right modules from a rescue mode CD boot. You may also have to reconfigure the display if you have a different video card or monitor but you can normally run in text mode while doing that. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] nfs cannot see mount points on other machine
Kai Schaetzl wrote: Toby Bluhm wrote on Fri, 27 Jun 2008 08:54:56 -0400: I don't understand your talk about fake directories. They are not fake, they truly exist in the filesystem. They are nevertheless fake. Consider the following: - system A has mount points / and /home - system B nfs mounts / on A without nohide at /nfs/A Result is that you see *all* directories of A on B, including /home. There is no way to know that it doesn't exist on A, unless you compare the directories on both machines. There is no indication that you are not writing to A:/home when you write to /nfs/A/home. That is what I call fake. It's definitely not hidden. hidden comes from hiding = you don't see it. I consider this behavior *very* misleading. That NFS only exports a single partition at a time is probably due to the duplicate inode problem - maybe other stuff - I don't know. At any rate, just export the additional fs and mount it where you like. Again, nothing mysterious and it has been done that way since NFS was invented. That may be so. I'm quite happy with this behavior as long as nfs doesn't pretend that something is there that isn't. I was asking where that faked directory actually exists as it is gone when I unmount. If I understand your explanation correctly if I write to /nfs/A/home I'm actually writing to A, but not to the /home filesystem (as I think) but to a home directory on the / filesystem. Is that correct? Yes. Let's use some examples. If A:/ is /dev/sda1 and A:/home is /dev/sda2, then in your above situation, writes to B:/nfs/A/home will be written to /dev/sda1 on A and _not_ /dev/sda2 on A. When A exports /, it's actually only exporting the filesystem on /dev/sda1. That makes clear why it is gone when I unmount. Further, if I unmount /home on A I should still get /home when I list / on A. Yes - you will get the /home that's on /dev/sda1 Just now that faked home on /. Correct? I understand that this directory *does* exist on A (just not where one would think) *after* nfs mounting. However, from the standpoint of machine B it is a fake. It is artificially being created because an ls on A shows it. The correct behavior would be to *not list* any other mount points in the nfs mount. Again, it's not fake, it's not artificial. It's truly there on /dev/sda1, the storage device. If you umount /home, rmdir /home, you can't mount /dev/sda2 on /home any more can you? If you mkdir /home2, you can put stuff in there until you run out of space on /dev/sda1. If you mount /dev/sda2 on /home2, the stuff you wrote to /home2 will still be on /dev/sda1 and will be hidden by the overlay of /dev/sda2. If you umount A:/ from B:/nfs/A and then write to B:/nfs/A - because B:/nfs/A will still exist as a real directory - it will be stored in /dev/sda1 on B. Whether you mount NFS exports or local disk partitions, it works the same way. By your analogy, umounting /dev/sda2 /home should make /home disappear from / because it's not mounted. Or mounting /dev/sda1 as / should just make /dev/sda2 fall into /home without any entry in fstab. -- Toby Bluhm Alltech Medical Systems America, Inc. 30825 Aurora Road Suite 100 Solon Ohio 44139 440-424-2240 ext203 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

It's both, really. artificial = it doesn't exist before the first nfs mount fake = from the remote machine it's an imitation of the real /home filesystem on the other machine. It looks like /home, it smells like /home, it tastes like /home, but if you eat it you get no calories/joule. The point is: if it is not there (before the first nfs mount!) it shouldn't be there! Think of it as stepping into a broken elevator (door open, elevator not on the same level). The door opening is usually prohibited in such a case by some internal security measures. However, if it were to open nevertheless there is a chance that you don't recognize fast enough and step into it and splash ... That's exactly how nfs behaves, it's an elevator without that safety net.
