Hi.
that is one thing I did not try.
I should have added - where booting 4TB fails, on same 
hardware other, previously used & smaller NVMes worked & 
still do work, when put back it.

I'll report back tomorrow.

[CentOS] first boot after install - WD_BLACK SN850X 4TB - fails ?

2024-01-16 Thread lejeczek via CentOS

Hi guys.

I'm trying to install Centos 9 Stream on a nvme - before I 
start tampering with other OSes - would anybody have an idea 
why...
after a seemingly successful installation OS wont boot - 
hardware sees nvme drive, bios does - it does not see 
new/any EFI boot entry?
To make it more bizarre - virtually identical hardware, only 
CPU is Ryzen Pro 3900 and not 3700 - and same Centos 
succeeded, it boots & starts fine.
I'm going to try again with the latest available ISO as of 
today, but in the meanwhile - I'm hoping you can share some 
thoughts/ideas.


many thanks, L.

[CentOS] ssh keys hostname VS fqdn - offends?

2024-01-01 Thread lejeczek via CentOS

Hi guys

Though being a mere user, - as opposed to an expert - in 
many long years of ssh in my use this, is new:


-> $ ssh box5.proxmox.mine hostname -i
10.3.1.78

-> $ ssh box5 hostname -i
Warning: the RSA host key for 'box5' differs from the key 
for the IP address '10.3.1.78'

Offending key for IP in /root/.ssh/known_hosts:2
Matching host key in /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts:2
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
10.3.1.78

This is same one host I _ssh_ to.
Is this purely _ssh_ and way to fix it would be 
'configuration' or perhaps (ssh &) something else?

I don't quite get what exactly is happening here.

[CentOS] Puppet from EPEL ?

2023-11-27 Thread lejeczek via CentOS

Hi guys.

It's a bit confusing - I'm only about to start a foray into 
it - whether _puppet_ from EPEL is the whole-lot-server?
From the look of included _puppet.service_ - this package 
is only agent and if not why no server bits?
Looking at what comes with Puppet's own repo - those appear 
quite different, packages. do.

How do you install/get your _puppets_?

[CentOS] IP routing basics?

2023-06-12 Thread lejeczek via CentOS

Hi guys.

I've always try to leave as mush as possible to the kernel 
but here I had to resort to source/rule based routing and I 
wonder why.
Any expert cared to share some light on what is 
(not)happening here


HOME -- tunnel --> public iface SHED gw  A iface; B iface 
<-- to respectively --> SOME box A iface; B iface


HOME can get to both A & B ifaces, (which are different 
subnets) all the way up to the SOME box


Now, a DIFFERENT box runs/is behind/on that SOME box, which 
connects to A iface & B iface respectively (which SOME's A & 
B ifaces are linux bridges) need - so it appears - manual 
rules in order to have HOME get to DIFFERENT's iface B


with IPs:

10.3.9.0/24 -> tunnel -> SHED's 10.1.1.254 & 10.3.1.254 ->  
SOME's 10.1.1.99 & 10.3.1.99 - all good!

---||--- -> DIFFERENT's 10.1.1.50 - works
---||--- -> DIFFERENT's 10.3.1.50 - for this one I need to 
set rules (on DIFFERENT only) so HOME can get to it


All boxes have METRICs set the same way:
iface on 10.1.1.0/24 runs with 111 & on 10.3.1.0/24 runs 
with 113 metrics.


 So I must(?) use these, so HOME can get to DIFFERENT's 
both ifaces:

-> $ ip ro ls table 113
default via 10.3.1.254 dev enp0s3
-> $ ip ro ls table 114
default via 10.1.1.254 dev enp0s10
& rules:
32764:    from 10.3.1.0/24 to 10.3.9.0/24 lookup 113
32765:    from 10.1.1.0/24 to 10.3.9.0/24 lookup 114

I'd prefer to not to use human-set rules but if not 
possible, I'll be happy with an explanation.

[CentOS] macsec - place inside the stack of ifaces ?

2023-06-05 Thread lejeczek via CentOS

Hi guys.

Looking at macsec I've only started - so go easy on me with 
possibly trivial questions -  and write here in hope, that 
some of you have expertise to tell...


Having a bond device which is a slave to a bridge -> where 
must MACSEC go in order to - if feasible in NM at all that 
is - secure all the traffic going via the physical device(s)?


Just to make it clear - though probably obvious - all 
traffic, say kernel VMs which use such bare-metal host's 
bridge iface for communication out/in of the host.


Or even most basic of what I ponder over - macsec with 
'bond' as parent?


All & any thoughts shared are much appreciated.

[CentOS] for code beakers/hackers/researchers - parallel

2023-05-17 Thread lejeczek via CentOS

Hi guys.

With the latest version of 'parallel' from EPEL  - 
absolutely one of the coolest binaries ever - I wonder if 
you noticed this:

I'm doing this as 'root', with no particular reason:

-> $ > ~/1
-> $ parallel --tag --nonall -S boxA,boxB uptime
-> $ cp /etc/shadow ~/1
-> $ parallel --tag --nonall -S boxA,boxB uptime

one of the boXes has that 1 file. (previous parallel version 
do not do that)
and if you happened to be a code-wizz, then you wondered & 
can tell what the source is doing & why. (is it bash/shell?)

Seems that you have the gnupg2 package that was 
deprecating SHA1, so just downgrade it and it should work 
again.
see (for example as there were multiple duplicates)

Surround ${_Val} with double quotes (as you should) and things will be 
different:

$ unset _Val; test -n "${_Val}"; echo $?
1

Now you get it? :-)

  

I don't know, am not sure, I remembered it differently, did not think enclosing 
quotes were necessary(always?) for that were {}

{} does not prevent this (at least not in bash):

$ FOO="a b"

$ test -z $FOO
bash: test: a: binary operator expected

$ test -z ${FOO}
bash: test: a: binary operator expected

Because after $FOO or ${FOO} variable expansion, bash parsed:
test -z a b
'b' is unexpected, from a grammar point of view.

Quoting is expected, here:
$ test -z "$FOO"


When FOO is unset, apparently it's a different matter, where you end up
with $?=0 in all unquoted -n/-z cases, interestingly. I could not find
this specific case in the bash documentation. That may not be portable
to other shells, BTW. I only use {} when necessary (because of what
bash allows to do between {}, plenty!, or when inserting $FOO into a
literal string that may lead the parser to take the whole string for a
variable name: echo $FOObar != echo ${FOO}bar).


Regards,
There is a several ways to run tests in shell, but 'test' 
which is own binary as I understand, defeats me..
in those three examples - regardless of how one can "bend" 
quoting & expanding - the same identical variable syntax is 
used and yet different tests render the same result.
I thought 'test' broke and I had remembered it differently - 
meaning 'test' used to give results I thought it did - or 
perhaps some 'shopt' changed and affected its behavior.


I'd expect a consistency, like with what I usually do to 
test for empty var:

-> $ export _Val=some; [[ -v _Val ]]; echo $?
0
-> $ unset _Val; [[ -v _Val ]]; echo $?
1

Learning, re-learning, round & round it goes..

I've tried tcpdump to see if something obvious is placed

Though I can not recommend any specific tools, a learning

unless you already looked into it & have it covered - in old

put a device/NIC in the 'promiscuous' mode which would 
results in network "acts" in ways you describe.

Why would it end up asking for 'mpfr-3.1.6' if 'libmpc-1.2.1'

why would 'ibmpc-1.1.0-9.1' even show up there I cannot wrap my head 
around it.


I've only started using 'mock' but this weird stuff have not seen 
until now.




Rather than passing in both SRPMS .. I would try with just one at a time.

You are first trying to build mpfr and after that, you are trying to 
build libmpc.


If I am correct, the newer version of libmpc is required for mpfr.  
So, first try building libmpc .. and look at what is necessary to 
build that.  Once you have that built, put it in your local repo and 
rebuild tehmetadata and thentry to build mpfr by itself.


All '--chain' does is retry all failed builds if something actually 
builds.


As to why the older version of libmpc or mpfr is trying to load .. 
look at your root.log and it will tell you.



That was how I started first, each separately.

-> $ mock -r centos-stream-8-x86_64 --rootdir=~/mock 
--resultdir=/00.STORAGE/1/var/www/repos/results/"{{root}}"/libmpc 
libmpc-1.2.1-4.el9.src.rpm


...

Package gcc-8.5.0-10.el8.x86_64 is already installed.
Package make-1:4.2.1-11.el8.x86_64 is already installed.
No matching package to install: 'mpfr-devel >= 4.1.0'
Not all dependencies satisfied

'--chain' I believed was some way to "loop" and if one pkg might depend 
on another it will (with perhaps of addition of '--continue') that would 
be better alternative to "solve" those dependencies, anyway.


Having 'mpfr' ver. 4.x built and in repo, following fails the same way:

-> $ mock -r centos-stream-8-x86_64 --rootdir=~/mock 
--resultdir=/00.STORAGE/1/var/www/repos/results/"{{root}}"/libmpc 
libmpc-1.2.1-4.el9.src.rpm

'root.log' does not reveal anything, certainly not an explanation or... 
I've gone blind.


My guess - because that would be such a "test" case where 'mock' fails 
to tell, to explain what/how so I must only guess - is that something 
else down the chain of dependencies, depends on those "older" versions 
of 'mpfr' and/or 'libmpc', but..


if that theorem is true then, again, how to...

I also fiddled with 'best=' but to no avail.

[CentOS] OpenVPN & nftables

2021-11-20 Thread lejeczek via CentOS

Hi guys.

On CentOS Stream 8 with 4.18.0-348.el8.x86_64, I cannot get 
openvpn-2.4.11-1.el8.x86_64 with help of 'nftables' to allow 
certain traffic to get in.
When OpenVPN does not use 'client-to-client' it is then 
supposed to pass to 'nftables' & let it handle all the traffic.


I'm doing something trivial - put 'tun0' iface into 
'trusted' zone and add 'forward' but vpn connected clients 
cannot talk to each other.
I also fiddle with 'direct' rules but to no avail and I hope 
some Centosians have that already figured out and can advise.

Hi devel

I've noticed a while ago that Redhat's Bugzilla has had, in

But I wonder about bugs relating to CentOS infra/repos -

It's rather an oldish platform which hosts the link,
PCIe is
only 2.0 but with link of x8 that should be able to carry
more than ~13Gbits/sec.
Infiniband is Mellanox's ConnectX-3.

Any thoughts on how to track the bottleneck or any
thoughts



Care to capture (a few seconds) of the *sender* side .pcap?
Often TCP receive window is too small or packet loss is to 
blame or round-trip-time.

All of these would be evident in the packet capture.

If you do multiple streams with the `-P 8` flag does that 
increase the throughput?


Google says these endpoints are 1.5ms apart:

(2.5 megabytes) / (13 Gbps) =
1.53846154 milliseconds



Seems that the platform in overall might not be enough. That 
bitrate goes down even further when CPUs are fully loaded & 
occupied.

(I'll try to keep on investigating)

What I'm trying next is to have both ports(a dual-port card) 
"teamed" by NM, with runner set to broadcast. I'm leaving 
out "p-key" which NM sets to "default"(which is working with 
a "regular" IPoIP connection)
RHEL's "networking guide" docs say "...create a team from 
two or more Wired or InfiniBand connections..."
When I try to stand up such a team, master starts but

[CentOS] Samba update to 4.10 (with c7.8) - broken -?

2020-05-05 Thread lejeczek via CentOS

I've just let the system to get big update to 7.8 and with
it came new Samba(4.10.4-10.el7.x86_64), a version with now

My Samba uses LDAP backend but I can see no errors related

That's that precisely, very easy.
a) use dd to create a a file, eg.: dd if=/dev/zero
of=gor.loop bs=1M count=2000
b) luks encrypt it: cryptsetup luksFormat gor.loop
c) dev mapper mount it: cryptsetup luksOpen gor.loop
luks-gor.loop
d) fs it: mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/luks-gor.loop
e) mount it:  mount /dev/mapper/luks-gor.loop
$PWD/gor.rootfs.encrypted
f) use it (to simplify I'd put cryptOpen + mount + unmount +
luksClose into a script)
g) remember!! still at least (depending how you mount it)
the 'root' will have access to that data while mounted,
obviously!

NM is actually pretty cool, to me it made all the stuff much easier. NM
also cover & takes care of source/policy based routing. Also, if you go
back to devel guys they listen and are happy to enhance NM including
some suggestions. Development of NM is well active & solid in my option
and it'll keep getting better I believe.

With a system with many ifaces note NM has something called "priorities"
with which you have controll over things like resolv.conf.

connection.autoconnect-priority; ipv4.dns-priority

Moving from what you had over to NM should be simple.

enp1s0 should have ipv4.gateway value enp2s0 should have it empty.

If you use firewalld then it also plays a role in linux router, with
more complex setup you might need --direct but.. if you have been using
it already with "network" then it will need no extra changes with NM.
Kernel params also is good to have sussed out.

So far it looks like not many people here if any at all, use
fwupd/LVFS which is a bit surprising to me since this if
what Redhat promote as a solution universally supported by
increasingly more hardware vendors.
I do upgrade UEFI/BIOS on my Dell Latitude with fwupd, have
had for last couple of years and it works beautifully,
though my other Lenovo e485 is missing from fwupd.

hi, thanks for the info.
And you have tried fwupdmgr and no positive results? Which
Gen your ProLiants are?
On https://fwupd.org/ HPE logo shows up plus some notes but
first-hand experience is as always best to have, which I do
not have as I only begin to consider HPE hardware for the
first time.

Dell, which I have had for many years, do their own OMSA
which is better than nothing but this too is flaky at times.
I also a few years ago got Dell's tech support telling me to
do MS-DOS stuff in order to update BIOS.

I'm thinking & hoping that maybe IBM, since they are now
Redhat, will supply us with premium grade software support
for their hardware. Although IBM is a bit like Intel in my
opinion - they do not innovate that much, are old and
struggle to understand the end users like us.

[CentOS] libvirt guest on host's shutdown/reboot - problem

2019-01-07 Thread lejeczek via CentOS

hi guys

I have just two guest after which libvirt looks and when I shutdown 
those guests:


$ virsh shutdown $_dom

that domain takes little time to power down, as expected one would 
say(~20sec) But! I reboot the hosts and I have in my:


/etc/sysconfig/libvirt-guests :

ON_SHUTDOWN=shutdown

PARALLEL_SHUTDOWN=1

SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT=300

I see libvirtd service shut down takes minutes, a few good minutes to 
deal with guests shutdown(I suppose?)


How could I dig into it and troubleshoot?

Would you have any idea as why libvirtd shutdown takes that long?

I would not run it as a server. In a server and workstation environment,
you do *not* want to have daily multiple updates to software, you want
stability, or you're likely to have your users seriously aggravated by
you, for breaking their jobs far too frequently.

Spin up a VM or two, for folks who actually (or think they actually) need
newer software and utility stacks, but use something stable as a base.

   mark "I do see how many update's my manager's fedora box gets..."

What I'm really looking forward to - why I thought I'd poke around, thus 
that question - is RDP in Wayland.


When it get's into RHELs I worry be ages and I'd really love to try to 
introduce Linux desktops to those really dumb and unreformable users.


Everything else - frequent updates, etc. These can be as rare as we 
users want them, another extra bit of time to think of it would not kill 
me, personally.


Also, we all know, what is in those Fedoras(maybe more so when it comes 
to "server" variant) is going to end up in our Centoses - why not help 
by using/testing those, I ask myself. Especially now with 29 which I 
suspect might be our Centos main new version.


So I'm thinking.. I'll start mixing that Fedora Server in.

Funnily enough Win10 guest are fine, only Centoses cannot start, silently &

It looks like you installed CentOS 7 packages on a CentOS 6 system.
I'm amazed it even worked.  Try removing the packages and
re-installing the appropriate packages for CentOS 6.

Oh, never mind me, I missed that you were saying that your *GUESTS*

Did you do a full update to CentOS 7.6.1810, or just the libvirt/qemu packages?

yes, I see my sentence was not complete, although it non-explicitly said 
Centos 7 (qemu package version).


So, host is Centos 7 updated to the latest (no fasttrack repo, but 
cr(rolling) yes) and quests are(if not gone now?)  Centos 6.10.


virsh start such a guest okey, complains of nothing, no errors but guess 
does not boot. I see qemu BIOS and boot menu but when it comes to 
booting the OS/grub/kernel, then this does not happen.


Checking qcow image with qemu confirms images are free of errors, etc. I 
can mount these Centos guests okey, filesystem seems good.

[CentOS] qemu-kvm-common-ev-2.12.0-18.el7_6.1.1.x86_64 - lost KVM guests - qemu-kvm-ev

2018-12-17 Thread lejeczek via CentOS

hi guys,

I updated to qemu-kvm-common-ev-2.12.0-18.el7_6.1.1.x86_64 (also 
libvirt) and my Centos 6.10 kvm guests now do not start.


Funnily enough Win10 guest are fine, only Centoses cannot start, 
silently & without any errors.


Any care to comment?

many thanks, L.

I don't know if it's related, but all of our dual-boot workstations
that used rEFInd for the boot selector stopped being able to launch
the shim EFI executable after upgrading to the 7.6 shim.  I had to
manually change the refind configuration to point at the GRUBX64 EFI
executable instead (we turn off secure boot anyway, custom kernel

no dual boot for me, just Centos.
Can you outline the steps you took to fix it?

[CentOS] rescue - UEFI revert to BIOS boot - how?

2018-11-20 Thread lejeczek via CentOS

hi guys

I have a box on which UEFI boot has gone haywire and instead 
of boot it power the box down, that is before even going to 
grub2. (displays some error message)
I if change to BIOS boot then I can start Centos' rescue - 
my question is: how can I rescue, re-build grub so it would 
boot from tradition BIOS?

dos, dos, exe...

why?.. reasons.. what for?..

Can I guys share a thought and a friendly advice with you? (I'm sure 
some of you will get)


I was not looking to philosopie or ponder over that simple question: 
whether to upgrade or not - but if I was - one argument could be: 
vendors are almost always very reluctant (if not purely lazy) to spend 
extra resources to re-work something they thought was probably their 
final piece.


And when they do release new software(which firmware is) then, they must 
have a very good reason(which sometimes they do not say, but often than 
not they do say) to do that. Have some trust in what they do? (if not, 
we would have stopped somewhere around DOS, OS/2 maybe)


I was hoping some of you guys have first-hand experience using tools 
Seagate themselves provide which Seagate say are Linux native tools - 
that's all.


My own experience is very off-putting and was hoping to learn yours, so 
I could be wiser when I next time need to buy a hundred and so HDD/SSDs.

what seems really really bad, is that none of the tools 
their tech support suggest works, at least for me.
You would think that simple thing such as firmware update 
should be really a piece of cake, but it seems that Seagate 
too, is rubbish when it come to Linux.
One would think Seagate should not that mistake but, yet

what mean by "add" is: that you already have grub2 booting 
off whatever you have it on, then you add another device, 
nvme in this case, and you add it to grub2 as/with 
chainloader, so a result grub2 will have yet another entry 
to chainload to another(windows) boot on that nvme.

I have a lxc guest on Dell's R815(AMD Opterons) which I just moved to an

Copying data to that folder seems to work just fine, but I as soon as I 
start the quest the host gets shot in the head, hard reboot, no dump.


I also have another, virtually identical guest but on Intel platform and 
that one does not do anything but runs okey.

Hi, folks,

Just ran into a problem: someone with a new laptop, running Win 10,
version 1709, tried to map their home directory (served from a CentOS
6.9 box, and it fails, with Windows complaining that it no longer
supports SMBv1, and if you go to their site, you can install support
for that manually
I fail to understand what's the problem you are having. I say that smbv1 
can be re/added to Win10 and I think there is a few pages on that on the 
net, so is it that Win10 is still not working after addition of smbv1?

The server running samba can *not* be updated to 7 - we have a lot of
stuff based off it, and most of our users use it, one way or another,
so it's a major thing when we do finally upgrade (or, more likely,
replace the server).

Has anyone run into this, and if so, any workarounds on the Linux end?
