Hi All, I don't know enough about when errors are *really* errors. So I google a lot to read and learn. I have a few things in my Logwatch that I want to make sure I understand 1. smartd **Unmatched Entries** Problem creating device name scan list Device /dev/sda: using '-d sat' for ATA disk behind SAT layer. Device /dev/sdb: using '-d sat' for ATA disk behind SAT layer. Device: /dev/sdc, NO MEDIUM present; skip device Device: /dev/sdd, NO MEDIUM present; skip device Device: /dev/sde, NO MEDIUM present; skip device Device: /dev/sdf, NO MEDIUM present; skip device I googled and since I know the devices I have I can comment out #DEVICESCAN -H -m root and replace with: /dev/sda -a -d sat -m root -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner /dev/sdb -a -d sat -m root -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner 2. kernel WARNING: Kernel Errors Present amd64_edac: probe of 0000:00:18.2 failed with error -22 ...: 1 Time(s) I googled this and I only had 5 hits that I could not make sense of. Can anyone shed some light? 3. automount **Unmatched Entries** lookup_read_master: lookup(nisplus): couldn't locate nis+ table auto.master: 1 Time(s) I googled and this seems to be a RHEL bug? Can anyone confirm and explain? -Jason

Our nis domain controller is running centos 4, which does not include that in the map. On side note, we noticed this issue while trying to get samba %N to work.> > I googled and this seems to be a RHEL bug? > > Can anyone confirm and explain? > > -Jason > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos >-- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - - - Jason Pyeron PD Inc. http://www.pdinc.us - - Principal Consultant 10 West 24th Street #100 - - +1 (443) 269-1555 x333 Baltimore, Maryland 21218 - - - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message is copyright PD Inc, subject to license 20080407P00.

You are better off with the 'DEVICESCAN -H -m root' option in place.> > 2. kernel > > WARNING: Kernel Errors Present > amd64_edac: probe of 0000:00:18.2 failed with error -22 ...: 1 Time(s) > > I googled this and I only had 5 hits that I could not make sense of.

Hi jason, Thank you for pointing this out. I am running 5.5 in 5 new boxes suddenly the boxes would start randomly rebooting. Checking the logs point out to smartd in all the boxes. I should all of them out except one. In that one I disable and shutdown smartd and the machine has been running ok for 5 hours, could smartd causing init 6 calls, if so, why isn't syslogd catching those calls. All that pointed to smartd was the last call before reboot. You can see my post at https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=29777&start=0#forumpost123773 For now I am leaving smartd off and will monitor if it keep rebooting, 5 hours have passed and things are still running. I will report back in the thread when the 24 hour mark ticks. I got the feeling that smartd is being evil to us.>>> Jason S-M 01/07/11 11:25 AM >>>Hi All, I don't know enough about when errors are *really* errors. So I google a lot to read and learn.
