[CentOS-virt] VMware Server 2 fails on 5.6
So others can avoid the lesson I learned this morning, VMware Server 2 stopped working after upgrading to 5.6 from a working 5.5 install (with the libc workaround for 5.4+ already in place). Some Google-Fu indicates the problem is linked to more supporting libraries being changed (zlib, libxml2, possibly others) in addition to the existing libc issue. I get a segmentation fault trying to launch VM Server 2 and have been unsuccessful so far in getting my install to work again. My own solution is I am rebuilding the physical hardware for KVM support and temporarily hosting the VMware VMs on a second machine I have still running 5.5 as I transition to KVM since it became apparent some time ago that VMware Server 2 is no longer a tenable platform. -- Benjamin Franz ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt

Re: [CentOS] Centos 6 Update?
On 04/08/2011 07:25 AM, Ian Murray wrote: As I seem to have started this little subsection of the thread, please let me give just one small example to help clarify the situation as it appears there is still a lot of misunderstanding surrounding this issue. Let's look at kernel modules, kmod packages. They are built against one specific kernel and then weak link against all other kernels that are kABI compatible. For example, in CentOS 5.6, kmod-gfs is built against the 5.6 base release kernel: $ rpm -qlp kmod-gfs-0.1.34-15.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm /lib/modules/2.6.18-238.el5 /lib/modules/2.6.18-238.el5/extra /lib/modules/2.6.18-238.el5/extra/gfs /lib/modules/2.6.18-238.el5/extra/gfs/gfs.ko but when we compare that to the upstream package: $ rpm -qlp kmod-gfs-0.1.34-15.el5.x86_64.rpm /lib/modules/2.6.18-223.el5 /lib/modules/2.6.18-223.el5/extra /lib/modules/2.6.18-223.el5/extra/gfs /lib/modules/2.6.18-223.el5/extra/gfs/gfs.ko we see it's been built against a 2.6.18-223.el5 kernel. This was a beta kernel and was never officially released so CentOS has no way to rebuild their package against this kernel. Hence, not 100% binary compatible. There is absolutely NO responsibility on Red Hat to release that kernel that was part of their build environment. The package builds fine for CentOS against the release kernel. In all likelihood it will function identically to the upstream packages, but there is always a possibility that some weird corner-case bug will affect one package that doesn't affect the other. This situation with kmod packages is not at all uncommon as Red Hat invariably release kmods built against pre-release kernels and don't rebuild them against the release kernel for GA. There are other examples where packages might have been built against an unreleased version of glibc or whatever but again these packages generally function fine, and identically to upstream, but there is always a very small possibility they might not function identically bug for bug. That's not to say the RHEL package is any more right or wrong than the CentOS package, just that they are different and hence by definition not 100% binary compatible. I hope that helps clarify some of the confusion surrounding this issue. According to wikipedia In computing, a computer that can run the same binary code intended to be run on another computer is said to be binary-compatible. By this definition a well written emulator and the emulated machine are binary-compatible, yet the build environments and other under the hood stuff can and are wildly different. So different does not mean it is not binary compatible. Is CentOS working to a different definition? e.g. byte for byte identical (save for trademarks). Maybe that is the only way to reduce the risk of incompatibility, I don't know. The goal of the centos project is to produce an RPM that is exactly like the upstream RPM in every way that is legally possible. The checks we do look at libraries that binaries link to, size of the packages and a list of the files the RPM installs. We would like for all RPMS to be 100%, some (like the example above) are not able to be linked against the same environment. Upstream sometimes uses non released gcc's for compiling or they sometimes build with non-released kernels or non released glibc's etc. In those cases, we will do the best we can.

On 04/10/11 3:09 AM, Christopher Chan wrote: OH, is that how those babies work? The backplane is not using a controller chip that mutiplexes the stuff? Oops, sorry. The backplane typically has a SAF-TE (SCSI Accessed Fault-Tolerant Enclosure) chip which provides backplane management services, like notifying the raid controller or host software when devices are inserted or removed, as well as controlling device power, monitor enclosure environment, etc.In fact, SAF-TE itself is a SCSI device on the same backplane. Now, SAS backplanes do have multiplexers. One of the big functional[*] differences between SAS and SATA is that SATA only supports a simple expander where 1 SATA channel can be expanded to several devices, whereas a SAS multiplexor allows N SAS channels to talk to M devices. N is often 4, and M is usually the size of the drive tray. With the SATA version, if you had 4 SATA channels each exanded to 4 drives for 16 drives total, drives 0-3 would always talk to SATA channel 0, drives 4-7 to SATA 1, etc. with SAS, any channel can talk to any device, so you are less likely to run into bottlenecks [*] For the purpose of that description, I am ignoring the big implementation difference in that SAS uses SCSI commands to talk to drives, while SATA uses IDE/ATA derived commands. Another significant functional difference, SAS drives are commonly dual ported, so they can be connected to redundant host bus adapters or raid controllers, so if a controller fails, all devices are still addressable. SAS controllers are designed so they can talk to SATA drives, but SATA controllers can't talk to SAS devices. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Webalizer and GeoIP?
I have a small problem with webalizer. I use it to analyze logs of a small web server hosting a single site, and the only thing I am interested in from webalizer is the piechart diagram it produces about the geographic distribution of people visiting the site. However, the piechart it produces gives me a very crude information, with 50% or so of visitors belonging to unresolved, some to .net, some to .com and some country-specific. For an example, you can take a look at http://sith.ipb.ac.rs/webal/usage_201103.html#TOPCTRYS I would like some more fine-grained diagram, at least in the unresolved part. Am I missing something, or is this really as good as it gets? I have the GeoIP and GeoIP-data packages installed, but they don't seem to do anything. I looked up the /etc/webalizer.conf file, but there seems to be no relevant settings to tweak. I've even read the webalizer man page ;-) , but failed to find anything related. Using google produced (among other things) this how-to: http://www.lifelinux.com/how-to-install-webalizer-on-centos/ but that is for CentOS 5.4, it is written by an unknown source and suggests I should recompile webalizer and GeoIP from source, which is not the proper way to do it, I guess.

They have a repository that they point at to build packages. It contains all the latest released packages. This build system will likely also have a Staged feature, so that as they build packages, new packages will use the previously compiled (and yet unreleased) packages to build on. If they are building updates and they, for example, build 2 versions of GCC in this process. Then maybe they only release to the public the 2nd version of GCC which they built. So, some of their packages (the ones between the time the first gcc was compiled and the 2nd gcc was compiled) would be build using a non released gcc. The real world impact of this is probably zero ... except that things that this (in /var/log/messages) will be different: Linux version 2.6.18-238.1.1.el5 (gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-48)) #1 SMP Wed Jan 26 08:03:38 PST 2011 (If that version of GCC was the first one compiled in my example above, CentOS will not have it, but it is used to compile an upstream kernel ... note, this example is not a real case issue, just hypothetical to show how it happens) It could introduce some incompatibility (they changed the package for some reason) ... which is why we try to minimize it, but generally the difference is only cosmetic. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I add that line in any *.repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ folder, as an option for every repository definition in those files where repository has releases rpms. I don't understand the problem. If you edit a .repo file it is usually not overwritten, the new repo file is saved as .rpmnew. So, I think this creates only a problem in the case that you completely remove a .repo file. What am I misunderstanding? (Sorry for the pun, I think I'm mostly talking to Tom ;-) I cannot speak for the other Tom but in my case I rebuild the centos-release rpm and add my own repo files so that all of my machines pull from my local repos. Yes, I know that the modified repo files do not get overwritten but that does not help for new machines nor does it help when I change my local configuration. When I rebuild the centos-release rpm I actually modify it so that a new version of the rpm overwrites any existing .repo files. That way I know all of the machines under my control are only pulling updates I have approved and placed into my local repos. It would be nice if this srpm was released with the main distro. Rebuilding other packages can come later when all of the srpms are available but this particular package is important for me being able to update the machines. In fact I usually end up hacking up the first cut of the centos-release rpm for a new release based on the previous version (in this case 5.5) so that I can do my upgrades. It is not all that hard to do but it would be easier if I had the official srpm. Regards, -- Tom Diehl ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The modprobe.conf is looking like this:
alias eth0 e1000e
alias scsi_hostadapter ata_piix
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-hda-intel index=0
remove snd-hda-intel { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 /dev/null 21 || :
; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel
alias wlan0 iwl3945
===
The same configuration is used for both old (functional) and new
(nonfunctional) kernels
What are your suggestions regarding the order of drivers loading ?
I found that there was another module loading before the snd-hda-intel
thus I added index=0 to the one I needed and index=1 to the other module
that seemed to get in the way.
the clue was looking under SystemAdministrationSound Card Detection
and seeing the Audio configuration dialog Settings tab - it showed my
desired sound card as number 1 rather than 0 with another item as number
0 (one I did not even know was on the computer).
Took me a recompiled kernel and hours of wasted time. Old kernels all
worked fine - thus I thought it was a kernel patch problem - removed all
the related patches and still no joy.
I do not know what they are doing to the kernel but over time the
loading of modules, order of disk detection etc is becoming much more of
an issue.
HTH YMMV

Yes, I know that the modified repo files do not get overwritten but that does not help for new machines nor does it help when I change my local configuration. When I rebuild the centos-release rpm I actually modify it so that a new version of the rpm overwrites any existing .repo files. Ah, I see now why you are doing this, I wasn't aware that the release package contains those .repo files. *However*, as I said earlier (and unless you use different filenames for your local repo) the new centos-release will *not* overwrite your existing CentOS-Base.repo file etc. So, if this is your concern: this is not a problem.

Oddly, the 5.5 binary carries 'centos' in it's release field:
5.5/os/x86_64/CentOS/httpd-2.2.3-43.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm

Oh well, so much for that idea! According to the release notes

of packages modified by centos - and that includes httpd. So the
absence of 'centos' in the release string does _not_ mean that the
package is unmodified (ie it's merely re-built).
Sigh!!! Just have to wait for the centos SRPMS then

I thought you put all the files IN the iso personally, when I do PXE, I use a http style install off a local copy of the repository. Its been a little while since i set it up, but IIRC, there's some mojo you put in the kickstart file on the tftproot to tell it what install type you want (nfs vs http vs whatever) The installer has always known how to deal directly with all the CD iso images under an nfs directory by itself without fiddling with any files. I'd expect it to do the same with the dvds, but haven't tried that since there were two of them. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I thought you put all the files IN the iso Just the ISO files themselves in an NFS exported directory, nothing more. Anaconda knows all about mount ... -o loop ... and does what it needs to do. No additional fussing about (no need to install httpd or ftpd, etc.). You just need to install tftpd and dhcpd and there you are. *Actually* I have also done things like 'install' the pxe boot files in the /boot directory of the target machine and boot it with lilo (grub would also work, but I have always used lilo). This is how I have done clean install upgrades (major version updates -- V3.x = 4.x, or 4.x to 5.x, etc.), with either the ISOs on a separate partition that I was not going to reformat) (eg /home) or on another machine via NFS. personally, when I do PXE, I use a http style install off a local copy of the repository.

Try something like this:
yum reinstall $(yum list installed | awk '{print $1}')
Hmm, interesting idea. Not too efficient, and could possibly break
config files if the rpm isn't well formed. But, hmm... interesting.
This led me to yum deplist... which sounds like it might also be
usable. Not quite clean-cut but a definite possibility!
Install yum-utils and then try:
# package-cleanup --problems
From the package-cleanup manpage:
--problems
List dependency problems in the local RPM database.
