Diagnosing random hangs
I have many different centos machines that are hanging regulary. I believe this is due to something our application is doing - not a centos specific problem. When the machines hang, there is no access to the console or remote access(ssh, rsh, etc). Any tips on debugging this issue? It is becoming quite a show stopper as we migrate our product from Solaris to Linux. tia, FYI - The

rpm dependency question
I have an rpm I've created that has a dependency on a library provided by a third party. This dependency is not specified anywhere in my spec file yet the package seems to know about when I run: # rpm -qip --requires MyPackage.rpm The third party rpm is installed and uninstalled via a vendor-supplied script so that they can prompt you to accept licenses and so on. Problem is, the vendor

detecting boot order
Given that I have a machine with possibly multiple disks, each of which is bootable(has an MBR).... Is there a command that will query the BIOS and tell me which disk is the default boot disk. BTW - this is x86. The goal is to remotely reboot the workstation into the desired disk(which contain different centos versions). tia, -Mark -- Mark Belanger LTX Corporation

nautilus pegging the cpu
I have a user that is running centos on many machines. At each machine, the users is logged into a common account that is located elsewhere on the network. Meaning that everyone is logged on as user_x and accessing the home directory via NFS. All users are running gnome. On some of the machines, the nautilus process is pegging the cpu. At this time, I have no strace or other info to

getting update details
I see in CentOS 3.6 - the release notes state that it has "improved support for dual-core processors" I got that from http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/release-notes/as-x86/RELEASE-NOTES-U6-x86-en.html Where might I get more details about this improved support. Specifically I'd like to see if problems I'm having in 3.5 could be related to the kernel

32->64 bit
Is it possible to take a Centos 3.7 machine - that was installed with the 32 bit version of CentOS, and update it to a 64 bit kernel? In other words - convert an i386 to ia64. I don't care about the applications, just the kernel. -Mark

CentOS 3.5 system hanging
Our very large and very complex application is running on CentOS 3.5 and Solaris. The CentOS machines are hanging about once per day. By "hanging" I mean the system is completely unresponsive either from the console or remotely via ssh. Totally locked. Does anyone have any tips for troubleshooting this sort of problem? -Mark -- Mark Belanger LTX Corporation

rc script not running on shutdown
I've create a script and associated links(via chkconfig). The script runs in the expected runlevels at boot time, but does not run at all during shutdown(halt, reboot, etc). I swear I've done this a million times. What am I overlooking? # cat /etc/issue CentOS release 3.5 (Final) Kernel \r on an \m # chkconfig --list chnghst chnghst 0:off 1:on 2:off 3:off 4:off

unconfig'ing a machine
The sys-unconfig script does not really work as advertised. For one thing it doesn't change the hostname. Is there an documentation about how to do the following: - Change the hostname, IP, networking etc for a currently networked machine - Change the hostname, IP, networking etc for a currently non-networked machine - Turn a networked machine into a non-networked machine.

nfsstat -m equivalent
Is there an equivalent command to nfsstat -m on Centos 3.4?

NFS problems with CentOS 4.5
Our large and complex build system is having very sporadic failurs as we try to update to CentOS 4.5. This takes the form of files that exist - and have existed for some time - not being found: file.whatever: No such file: No such file or directory This happens both with source files, .o's - meaning that the errors come from both the compiler and linker. The build storage is on NFS and the

sys-unconfig
Does sys-unconfig work as advertised in 4.x? Meaning that if I have a fully configured box on my internal net and run sys-unconfig, will I be able to power up the node on a totally different network and have things work providing I answer the questions properly. Most typically this will mean taking a box that is using NIS in DNS domain A, NIS domain B, and static IP addr and move it to DNS
