What version are you using? Referring to it as "Recent ... yum
upgrade for firefox" is relative so hard to respond to. The output
from a "rpm -qa ..." command would be useful.

I'm using:

   firefox-115.6.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64

and also:

   firefox 121.0.1 (64-bit) -- from the Mozilla repo

and am not seeing issues with either.

Using your search engine of choice, try looking for something like:

I'm assuming you are pushing the mail to gmail through port 465 or
587. If that's the case, if you aren't already, you will need to set
up and use a google "app password". Alternatively, get whatever you
are using on the centos side that authenticates with gmail to support
OAuth 2. 

You can no longer use your google side-wide password to authenticate
3rd party apps with gmail so need to use one of the alternatives in
its place.

I would actually expect you to get an authentication failure message
so they may have changed something else that disabled this approach.

[CentOS-virt] c6a and m6a AMD Epyc AWS EC2 instances support for CentOS 8 AMI Marketplace 47k9ia2igxpcce2bzo8u3kj03

[Richard Thibault]

Hello,

We have launched some EC2 servers 6 month ago using the CentOS 8
MarketPlace AMI 47k9ia2igxpcce2bzo8u3kj03 (
https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-ndxelprnnxecs)
Now we have migrated these servers to CentOS Stream 8.

We can change the instance type of these servers until m6i and c6i Intel
based CPU, but we cannot change the instance type to new ADM Epyc c6a and
m6a. There is an error triggered by the AWS console and saying to this
marketplace server is not compatible with c6a and m6a instance types...
Is there a reason for this situation (because this AMI is X86_64
compatible, so AMD Epyc should work with it) ?
Do you know which team is managing this marketplace AMI and which team
could authorize using the new AMD Epyc EC2 instances with this AMI ?
I know that I could relaunch news servers using another AMI, but I don't
want to waste my time in reconfiguring all these servers from a brand new
AMI... I would prefer to just change the instance type of the existing
servers.

I contacted the AWS support to get somes explanations and a solution for
this situation, but they asked me to contact the CentOS community support,
it's why I'm sending this e-mail to this list.

Thank you !
Best regards.

Richard.

You can run "yum check-update" from a (daily) cron job and get
notified of updates that are available for your system. 

Personally, I find running *yum -y update*, without knowing what's
going to be touched, to be a little risky.

Check the USB connection type setting on your (android) device. When
I set it to "file transfer" (on an android 12-beta device) I can see
my Kindle books. While I could open the files with LibreOffice they
are in a format that I didn't have a compatible viewer for on my

Is there a reason to still be trying to use chromium, rather than
chrome? Later releases of chrome didn't work with centos-6, hence
chromium, but c-6 is now EOL. My experience is that chrome (from the
google repository) works fine with centos-7.

Do you have firefox set to use DoH? That could change the perspective
of whether there is a DNS issue.

With centos-7 you can use chrome, you don't have to use chromium.

I use the rpms for chrome, for both the stable and beta releases --
currently at 89.0.4389.114 and 90.0.4430.51 respectively, from
google's repository without any issues.

Unless that desktop is the only device you have that you want to be
able to get the advantages of having connectivity from two ISPs, I'd
get a dual-wan router and go from there. There are a range of options
that support 2 or more wan connections and provide load-balancing,
fall-over, etc. You'll want to read the specs to find one that best
meets your needs.

Re: [CentOS] Announcing Open-sourced & Community-Driven RHEL Fork by CloudLinux

Considering that it is being spearheaded by the originator of CentOS, 
with the original goals of CentOS (before being swallowed by RH then 
IBM) as a stable, enterprise OS, I'm putting my support behind Rocky 
rockylinux.org and would urge others to do the same.


I've been around the Linux world for many years and looked at and tried 
many distributions. Most of them are either unstable or bloated, or both.


The only thing I'd trust Oracle to do is screw the computing community

than having to build and test for two releases. It gives the CentOS
contributor community a great deal of influence in the future of RHEL.

And it removes confusion around what “CentOS” means in the Linux

Was there any confusion? If there is, then it's caused by the
introduction of things like "CentOS Stream".  There was never any
confusion when it was a straight rebuild.



When CentOS Linux 8 (the rebuild of RHEL8) ends, your best option will
be to migrate to CentOS Stream 8, which is a small delta from CentOS
Linux 8, and has regular updates like traditional CentOS Linux releases.
If you are using CentOS Linux 8 in a production environment, and are
concerned that CentOS Stream will not meet your needs, we encourage you
to contact Red Hat about options.


"If you want a production environment, pay for it"



We have an FAQ - https://centos.org/distro-faq/ - to help with your

The FAQ generally says "if you want a RHEL environment, then pay for
it"



[See also: Red Hat's perspective on this.

Red Hat's perspective is "CentOS is ours now; IBM have told us to make
sure it's pulling its weight or we aren't allowed to put any resources
into it"

So as far as I can see all the RHEL rebuilds are dead now - WhiteBox,
Scientific Linux, now CentOS. Are there any left?

When you tried the url directly did you make the necessary
substitutions for "$basearch"? It needs an architecture and then some
additional pathing to get to packages.

After adding the C6.10 entries to the Vault repo did you turn off the
entries (e.g., set "enabled=" to "0") in the non-vault repos? If you
don't yum will still try them. The CentOS-Base.repo is on by default
so you'll either need to add the "enabled=" line to each of the
entries or otherwise disable the repos.

It's hard to debug "does not load /anything/" without more specifics.

You may want to try the releases from the google repository. I've
been using version 85 (initially stable-85.0.4183.83-1.x86_64) on my
C7 systems since early this month and just updated from

I would echo this. I experimented with networked home directories for laptop 
users for a while and never managed to find anything that resembled a nice 
experience. Even on Windows it mostly sucks. I don’t expect this reality has 
changed much.

I would instead look at cloud sync clients. The open source Linux OneDrive 
client is pretty good these days for example.

Of course the “cloud” end can also be on-premise using OwnCloud or NextCloud or 
whatever the latest cool thing is.

The /etc/shadow file doesn't have the user directory information,
rather the username and the password (and some other bits - man
shadow for the details). With the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow out of
sync - having different versions of the username - I suspect that the
user can't log in. You should also fix the shadow group file
(gshadow). Look at the man page for vipw for the command for doing
that.

What port is that delivering to -- that doesn't sound like port 25,
which is the default that an MTA delivers to.

The postfix list may be a better place to ask these configuration
questions. The general expectation there is that one has spent time
going through the documentation.

Dear Experts,

I know there are many HPC (high performance computing) experts on this list. 
I'd like to ask your advise.

Almost two decades ago I chose to go with OpenPBS (turned down condor and other 
alternatives for whatever reason) for clusters and number crunchers I support 
for the Department at the university. It turned out to be not bad, long lived 
choice. At some point I smoothly migrated to torque which was advertised as 
open source project (based on PBS, but it was much less hassle to compile...). 
Torque ceased to be open source two years ago, it is proprietary now. At some 
point I have to migrate away from torque for this reason. One of the ways would 
be to switch (back) to open source PBS Pro (pbspro.org).

I wonder what other options experts would recommend. Hopefully, not too far 
from torque (or PBS) from user prospective.

Thanks a lot for all your advises!

As you indicate you have opportunistic TLS now, go back through your
mail logs and see which inbound and outbound connections aren't using
it. You will likely not be able to communicate with the corespondents
involved on those connections if you require TLS on all connections.

I would start by looking at the .cf file to make certain that it got
written out correctly. You should find lines like:

   # "Smart" relay host (may be null)
   DSsmtp-relay.gmail.com

If that looks right, then see what happens when you do dns queries
for "smtp-relay.gmail.com" on that machine.

[CentOS-virt] Official CentOS 8 images.

Hi,

A few searches didn't find an answer so hoping this group can provide some

Looking to find out if there is a timeline/plans to get the official images for 
CentOS 8 up, both AMIs on Amazon Marketplace and qcow2 on 
https://cloud.centos.org/.

I can build myself, but would prefer to rely on the official source, it's been 
very helpful resource for my projects so far.

Happy to help out if things are tied up on time/resources...

[CentOS] CentOS 8 Docker container is missing dnf-plugin-ovl

[Richard Berger]

Hi everyone,

I've been running some tests on Travis CI with CentOS 7 and CentOS 8 based
Docker containers and having issues with the CentOS 8 ones.

With the centos:8 image, the RPM database eventually gets corrupted due to
the default overlay2 storage driver used by Docker.

This issue doesn't show with the centos:7 container. It already comes with
the "fastestmirror" and "ovl" plugins installed. The "ovl" plugin is a
workaround to avoid this corruption. See the bottom of
https://docs.docker.com/storage/storagedriver/overlayfs-driver/ for more
details.

Fedora 29 and 30 already have an equivalent "dnf-plugin-ovl" package (
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/dnf-plugin-ovl). However, I couldn't
find it for RHEL8 or CentOS 8.

I can use the "touch" workaround for now. But are there plans to bring this
plugin to CentOS 8 and make it part of the CentOS 8 image, just like on
CentOS 7? Or is there some other way to achieve the same with dnf?

Thanks in advance,
Richard

I believe that you can accomplish what you are after by changing the
quoted menuentry label in grub.cfg:

menuentry 'CentOS Linux (3.10.0-1062.1.2.el7.x86_64) 7 (Core)' ...

to just a blank:

menuentry ' ' ...

for the specific entry. I do this for the windows side of my
dual-boot laptop. I boot to windows by scrolling down to the blank
line below the centos entries.

NoScript selectively blocks javascript, it doesn't turn it off --
which for testing purposes, at least, is the goal.

In ff -- about:config - then enter "javascript" in the search line
and set "javascript.enabled" to false.

With chrome this can be done in the advanced settings section, under
"site settings".

Does the system slow down when you have your internet connection
enabled, but aren't explicitly using it (i.e., not using a browser)?
If so, look at the netstat output (as root) to see what's going on.
You may have some process that runs when the connection is enabled
that is taking up system/network resources.

Separately, turn off javascript in the browser you are using and see
if that has an effect.

If you don't have any usage monitoring turned on, then after the fact
the answer is no.

A simple approach is to run top in batch mode (see the top man page)
from a cron job that you run at whatever frequency you want to
capture data for. Log that, and say vmstat output - perhaps sending
an alert when the vmstat load is above some threshold. This is all
fairly lightweight and easy to set up. There are other packages that
can get more detail, but take some learning and setup time.

Remember that things like logrotate, logwatch etc., tend to run in
the ~3am timeframe (depending on your configuration). These can
generate fairly high spot load if your logs are large.

The epel-testing repo resolves these dependencies, so include it when

Updated versions of those @epel packages are in the epel-testing
repo, which resolved this issue for me when I updated using the CR
repo a couple of weeks ago.

Re: [CentOS] Help with multi-monitor Xorg stuff

[Richard G]

I spoke too soon with this. I can't get it to work properly with a
hand-crafted xorg.conf file. As Gnome seems to automatically detect
all the monitors OK, can anyone recommend a window manager I can use
with CentOS 7 that will allow me to start independent full-screen
kiosk browser sessions from a script, specifying which monitor to use
each time?

Re: [CentOS] Help with multi-monitor Xorg stuff

[Richard G]

Cracked this. The solution was that I needed to specify the correct
driver ("radeon") in the xorg conf file to use the open source driver,
e.g.

Section "Device"
  Identifier  "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
  Driver  "radeon"
  BusID   "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

All the other bits from the conf file I could keep the same as before.

[CentOS] Help with multi-monitor Xorg stuff

[Richard G]

I have an unusual use case.  I wonder if anyone can help.  We use a PC
with 8 HDMI outputs for powering a video wall in an operations centre.
We use two Matrox video cards, each with 4 outputs. "lspci" reports
these cards as" [AMD/ATI] Cape Verde PRO [FirePro W600]".

On an older version of CentOS 7, I used the proprietary AMD/ATI
driver. This had a utility (I roorget the name) that generated a
working xorg.conf file. I could them throw up the
"matchbox-window-manager" on each monitor in turn using
"DISPLAY=:0.0", "DISPLAY=:0.1" etc and then throw up a full-screen
chrome web browser in kiosk mode on each monitor after that.  This all
worked great.

In a recent version of CentOS 7, this all broke.  The proprietary
driver no longer works.  The good news is that the open source driver
seems to work fine with multi-monitor in Gnome for example.

My only issue is that I don't want to use Gnome across multiple
monitors.  I want to use matchbox-window-manager or similar, and
specify individual X screen (":0.0", ":0.1" etc).  How do I generate
an xorg.conf file with the new open source drivers?  Am I doing this
all wrong?

Thanks!

As I indicated earlier, removing those lines from your postfix config
will have no impact on your ability to reach your roundcube instance.

Unlike the windowz world, you mostly don't need to "reboot" a machine
after making changes to a service (e.g., your postfix config change).
An unnecessary reboot can bring in many issues so makes debugging a
problem difficult. Instead, restart the service in question (often a
reload is all that's needed, but a service restart generally doesn't
hurt in a single/lower user environment).

Unless you are VPN-ing (or equiv) my sense is that you are currently
getting to your mail (roundcube) from outside your network. Earlier,
when it wasn't working, my sense was that you were inside. If that's
true you can't really tell if your issue has been resolved as you are
coming at things from different network directions.

Those TLS lines that you added to your postfix config file yesterday
have nothing to do with your ability (or not) to get to your
roundcube instance. I believe that the roundcube frontend is an
application that runs via httpd/apache. Assuming I am correct on
that, debugging your apache setup would be the next set of things to
look at. Confirm that it (apache) is running and listening on the
port(s) you expect it on (netstat and ps will help there) and then
start with the access and error logs.

That you can now successfully get to "localhost" is good progress.
Seems you want to stay away from ipv6 networking issues unless/until
you resolve whatever that issue is.

Roundcube is, potentially, a totally separate issue. I don't use it,
so can only suggest minimal debugging ideas.

What is the hostname that you use to get to your roundcube instance?
Can you resolve that:

   dig  a

If you get an answer, is the ipnumber correct?

Note, if the hostname for your roundcube instance is one of the ipv6
entries in your /etc/hosts file, I'd remove that - and either put in
an ipv4 entry or put an entry for it in your dns.

Randomly adding lines to a config file isn't going to help things.
Those lines, which you added to the postfix config (which will have
no impact on dovecot), are -- as the RH documentation indicates -- to
turn off weak protocols, they don't turn anything on, other
directives are used for that.

In your pastebin:
  
  

you show three nameservers:

  nameserver 166.102.165.13
  nameserver 207.91.5.20
  nameserver 127.0.0.1

I can't tell if that's what you still have in place, but note that
your dns queries will query those DNS servers in that order. Based on
that order, the "localhost" (127.0.0.1) server is the last one that
will be queried. Unless explicitly queried (e.g., with an
@ syntax) it will only be queried if the other two fail.

Could you confirm the current order (and perhaps list) the
nameservers in your /etc/resolv.conf file - so we are aware of any
changes.

I did a "localhost" query against the first two and they respond
correctly, e.g., 

  ;; QUESTION SECTION:
  ;localhost.   IN  A

  ;; ANSWER SECTION:
  localhost.86400   IN  A   127.0.0.1

  ;; Query time: 100 msec
  ;; SERVER: 166.102.165.13#53(166.102.165.13)

Somewhat related to the:

  > telnet localhost 143
  > 
  > fails [while it works when you try 127.0.0.1]

In an earlier message (from Sunday, August 26, 2018 14:37:57) you
state:

could you please enumerate the "named.*" files that you have under
your defined directory. Note, if you've chrooted named that's a
different location than in a non-chrooted setup.

Then there's this:

do you *really* have a name server running on your local machine?
Just thought I'd ask. 

While you are at it, could you show the current state of your
/etc/hosts file (as well as its ownerships and permissions).

Re: [CentOS] Is there any way I can deploy cPanel web hosting control panel with Microsoft Exchange 2016 groupware behind one static public IP?

[Richard Grainger]

You can use bind your cPanel web server to a different port or
(better) you can put your services behind a reverse proxy/load
balancer. In this scenario, for web servers running on the standard
ports (ie TCP 80 and 443), you can use HTTP host headers/SNI to
redirect requests to the appropriate backend web server based on the
domain name used.

So yes, you can have a whole bunch of stuff running behind one public
IP address if you're willing to cope with the complexity.  But
sometimes life is simpler if you can use more.

[OT]

My (non-gmail) mail hosting provider also enforces the DMARC settings
that others put in place, so this isn't (just) a gmail issue. Most
people in the field find the p=reject setting that yahoo is using to
be less than optimal, and come to the conclusion that the best course
of action it to avoid sending mail (specifically to mailing lists)
from such providers. All places like my provider and gmail are doing
is enforcing the standard. That others have selected poorly
considered settings is the fault of the site making those selections,
not the site doing the enforcing of the standard.

[the DMARC notifications are, in my view, a very serious privacy
leak, so it should be avoided, but that's a whole separate off-topic
discussion.]

Thank you - one less list I'll get kicked off of regularly. 

One note, I am seeing the author in the Reply-To: in the message
headers, not in the visible Cc: as you indicate:

   From: Johnny Hughes via CentOS 
   Reply-To: Johnny Hughes ,
CentOS mailing list 

so to see the address of the sender I have to either poke through the
headers or initiate a reply. I don't think that this is email client
specific.

I believe this is a DMARC issue. Yahoo, among other places, has set
their dmarc records to p=reject:

  dig +short txt _dmarc.yahoo.com
  "v=DMARC1; p=reject; pct=100; rua=mailto:dmarc_y_...@yahoo.com;;

So, if your mail hosting provider enforces dmarc,(gmail does) and you
get mail from a list that doesn't rewrite the headers, and people
from places like yahoo post to the list, you'll likely get some form
of warning about being being kicked off the mailing list every now
and then. The frequency depends on how often people from p=reject
places post, and what the settings are for bounce handling of the
mailing list in question.

I believe that the current version of mailman can be configured to do
the necessary header rewrites. Some lists I'm on only do the rewrites
for headers of posts coming from p=reject sites (much less annoying
than having them all rewritten).

If you want a list of the mirrors, go to:

   


If you want to go to http://mirrorlist.centos.org, then you have to
fill in the parameters that you see in a yum .repo file, e.g.,

   

otherwise you do indeed get the "invalid release" response.

Just had a look at scikit-learn.  An issue you have with the current
version of this package is that is depends on NumPy (>= 1.8.2).  The
version of NumPy in CentOS 7 base is 1.7.1. You may need to look at
building a Python virtual environment.  You can google that ;)

I created the epypel (Extra Extra Python Packages for Enterprise

There are a bunch of additional Python 2 and Python 3 packages there
and if you want any added, please put in a request here:

The repo does not upgrade any packages in base or EPEL, so should be

Re: [CentOS] Best practices to manager multiples sysadmins working as root with multiple servers?

[Richard Grainger]

My suggestion, if you have the freedom to design a solution from
scratch, is to look at FreeIPA and sssd.  With these tools you can
easily centralise your access and sudo rules. You can use any
configuration management tool to get things up and running (I like
Puppet, but your mileage may vary).

Corporate mobile devices are typically configured using MDM to already
have the company 802.1x profile so they "just work" on the corporate
WiFi.  Guest mobile devices will connect to another SSID, which
usually only allows access to the internet (sometimes after agreeing
to a AUP via a captive web portal).

Yes, someone can go to the trouble of obtaining a known corporate MAC
address and MAC-spoofing their personal device so they can PXE-boot a
corporate build on a VLAN that is otherwise useless.  If your
corporate build on it's own is precious enough in itself that you
worry about this eventuality, then make the build server insist on
authentication before the build initiates.

Two solutions to this:

1. Enable "exception by MAC address": only known MAC addresses get put
onto the PXE boot VLAN. Other unauthenticated client goes onto a "no
access" VLAN (many places make this the same VLAN as the guest WiFi
VLAN with internet access only, sometimes with a captive portal).
Authenticated clients go onto the corporate VLAN.
2. (this can be in addition or instead of 1).  The PXE server itself
will only serve known MAC addresses and/or requires a token/password
to initiate the install.  Regardless, there's not huge utility to
installing your personal machine with a corporate build from a PXE
server, which you then can't use because you don;t have corporate
credentials, but I suppose it may have some risk with regards to
software licensing or builds containing other stuff you don't want
strangers to access, so lockdowns can't hurt.

You might want to try a "yum check-update" manually (maybe only
against the epel repo). If you get an error try a "yum clean all" and
then try the "... check-update" again. I didn't have a problem just
now with the epel repo, but then again always start my checks with a
"clean all".

Of course this isn't a CentOS repo, so if you continue to have
problems a report would need to be made with epel/fedora.

As a note/side question ... I've never understood why this script
(which I never leave installed) is in "cron.hourly". I would think
that "cron.daily" would be a sufficient frequency. This appears to be
a centos "touched" script so can't tell if upstream puts it in hourly
or centos does.

A bit more information could be useful - versions/errors

I don't believe that there has been an update to httpd for C6 since
late october, with updates for a number of other things being
released since then too (some of which, if installed, would have
required a reboot). Knowing the httpd version you have installed
would be a useful bit of detail.

What does your logging show? If it appears that only httpd isn't
starting, I would check the httpd error log first. If that doesn't
show enough then try the /var/log/messages .

I think very, especially when running something like wordpress. WP
has (had) a history of some rather serious security issues. Even if
they are resolved, having the user that runs the apache server own
(or even have write access to) the directories and files that it has
access to leaves you totally vulnerable to someone breaking through
the server. I'm not so worried about apache proper (though struts was
the equifax vector apparently) but more about any scripting that one
may have on the site. All it takes is a bad script or two for your
site to be totally taken over.

Just curious - why are you using the epel, rather than google,
release for centos-7?

The current google repo releases, (which install without any issues
and work well on centos-7) are:

  stable.x86_6462.0.3202.94-1
  beta.x86_64  63.0.3239.59-1

while the epel one is:

  61.0.3163.100-1

which was the "google stable" release in late september, and is about
five releases back.

I ran into the "first boot" (though not "set up enterprise login")
issue after C-7 updates in mid-september. This only happened on one
of three C-7/mate desktop machines. 

With "first boot" I went through the process, including setting up an
account, that was added to wheel as a part of the process. I then
logged out of that and was able to get into my regular account (via
the gui) just fine. I removed that spurious account and cleaned
things up, but ended up in "first boot" again the next time the
machine was rebooted. So, I've now neutered that account, but left it
in place and haven't run into "first boot" again. I haven't been able
to figure out what caused this, yet.

How is the mouse connected -- ps/2, usb, bluetooth, something else
(e.g., mouse-specific dongle)?

I use a touchpad that's built into my usb-connected keyboard and
don't encounter mouse latency issues with c7/mate.

Re: [CentOS] low end file server with h/w RAID - recommendations

The DL20 gen9 I bought was setup LFF (3.5")

The DL380 gen9 could be either SFF (2.5) or LFF. I had to buy SFF for our new 
server due I was told to spec / build it exact to vendor recommendation.

To better? Answer this. Agreed, I'm not a fanboy of 2.5" stuff in enterprise 
equipment. To me a better but more costly answer would be setup a LFF SAN 
server and go from there. 

My employer is a SMB (60 people?) and our storage is exploding at times. SAN's 
can give more economical storage and flexibility. Especially since were 
considering fail-over scenarios for not only our Windows ERP software but our 
all Linux based :) file servers.

I can help a little here... Yes, dropping NPAPI is a huge problem. FireFox ESR 
is available for Linux x32 and x64.

Solved my problems using Lantronix Spider IP/KVM device until Java updates, 
then refuses to run it yet again :(

Good to know about the HPE and Dell "gotchas", thanks to those who posted.

I can speak to SuperMicro (11 systems, mostly X9 and X10).  Hardware seems to 
be fine, management utilities (IPMI - like iLO) are more basic.  The real 
heartburn right now is that the browsers for Linux have pretty much dropped 
NPAPI which means remote console doesn't work since it needs Java.  They have 
alternatives on their web site (look for IPMIView and IPMICFG).  One of their 
solutions only works with Gnome (but I don't remember which one - too long 
ago).  Differing versions of IPMI firmware have their own quirks.  Bottom line: 
support is there but more basic and not as easy to use.

I will second Marks comments here. Yes, 2.5" drive enterprise drives have been 
an issue. +1 for the WD Red drives, so far 3.5" w/ 2tb and 4tb drives, ZERO 
issues. I've had good luck with HGST NAS drives too. Unfortunately, that will 
come to an end soon (With WD owning HGST).

Re: [CentOS] low end file server with h/w RAID - recommendations

[Richard Zimmerman]

I just put a call into AT Office 365 asking them to explain the spoof warning 
thing...

To answer your question

At the moment, no I can't. I like HPE stuff, we bought a DL380 gen9 say five 
months ago and totally happy with it. In fairness, its running Server 2012 r2 
too but I didn't run into the hardware gotchas I did on the other stuff. It 
just seems HPE skimped on their lower end stuff and CentOS 6.x doesn't play 
well. 

This whole incident with the DL20 JUST happened. It's (finally) been spinning 
Server 2012 r2 for about a week now. It was a long 5 week process just to get 
to to this answer.

I haven't had the time to research out what my next buys are going to be. I'm 
listening as well if someone has a suggestion.

Honestly, I'm leaning against Dell because their stuff just doesn't seem to be 
built to last. We have 1 T620, 2 R620 servers. So far just past the 5 year 
mark, 3 dead hard drives, 2 power supplies. That is with the machines mostly 
TURNED OFF. (Failed IT project after I was hired; aborted a move to a new ERP 
system) With my personal Dell laptop just bought 4 months ago, periodically get 
the 6 beep on power on error. Tells me Dell quality / quality control might not 
be where it needs to be. 

Then again, I get a constant flow of HPE advisories. :(

I've thinking of taking a look at Supermicro severs. 

Bottom line is, they all have their quirks, problems, deficiencies

WHY did Lenovo have to quit selling the RS140's? I *LOVE* those machines 
Fast, reliable and just work GREAT with Centos 6.9!

Regards,

Richard

Re: [CentOS] low end file server with h/w RAID - recommendations

[Richard Zimmerman]

DO NOT buy the newer HPE DL20 gen9 or ML10 gen9 servers then (especially if 
using CentOS 6.x)

I don't use hardware raid (mdadm for the win!) so cannot speak to that.

DL20, bought it on a stock 'B' sale. Great price. Works well on Windows. HPE 
doesn't sell hard drive trays, etc. You pretty much have to buy their equipment.

You CAN get 3rd party parts (drive trays, etc.) but will nickel and dime you. 
Example, try to get an HPE-ODD power to sata power adapter. I haven't been able 
to locate one. The one HPE sells, doesn't work on a standard SSD drive. **NO** 
standard place inside machine to mount an SSD drive either. **NO** standard 
power connectors either. So trying in install a bootable SDD, then raid your 
storage drives will be a task. One I gave up on.

THEIR website says the DL20 gen9 it supports CentOS 6.x In reality, NO 
unless you want the pain of downloading, compiling drivers, etc. 
If you don't use THEIR hard drives, they work but you don't get "LED Support" 
from the smart array controller. i.e. A drive craps, the smart array won't lite 
up the dead drive tray. You have a 50/50 shot at guessing which one. At least 
the Smart Array software (in Windows) will tell you what bay its in.

The DL20 once you get past the crap in setting it up (again, you have to use 
the smart provisioning utility to install server 2012 r2 on it; Seriously HPE) 
but once up and running, so far no more headaches.

My ML10 gen9 experience is a mix. 

The newer ML10 gen9 experience was worse. First several installs just never ran 
right. Unexplained lockup and crashes. Onboard nic never ran right. Now, it's 
using a transplanted install of CentOS 6.9, using installed Intel nics and this 
setup so far is running pretty well, no issues so far.

On the other hand, I've got an year (maybe two) older ML10 gen9 running CentOS 
6.9. Hasn't given me a day of trouble from day one. 

Hopefully some of this helps...

Regards,

Richard

Re: [CentOS] New CentOS/RHEL group on Facebook

[Richard]

I second this. I find it rather ironic that one would try to initiate
discussion of an open source operating system and environment in a
proprietary walled off world. This seems rather antithetical to the
whole intent of centos.
