Hi All: Over the weekend I install all the outstanding updates for our CentOS 4 based server. Since I had been holding off on these until I had addressed some disk space issues there were a large number (300+). I know my bad! After installing the updates I rebooted the system and it took forever to boot and once up there were problems connecting to some of our SAMBA shares. I checked the messages

Before I'd try to defragment my whole filesystem (see attached mail for whole story) I figured "Let's try it on some file". So I did > xfs_bmap /raid/Temp/someDiskimage.iso [output shows 101 extents and 1 hole] Then I defragmented the file > xfs_fsr /raid/Temp/someDiskimage.iso extents before:101 after:3 DONE > xfs_bmap /raid/Temp/someDiskimage.iso [output shows 3

Hi! I'm justing in the process of setting up a new fileserver for our company. I'm installing CentOS 5.3 (64 bit) on it. One of the "problems" with it is that it has a 3.5TB filesystem for the user data which I formatted during setup as an ext3. Now my experience with our current fileserver is that a 0.5TB ext3 filesystem needs approx half an hour to complete (and kicks in

Hi! I have the following problem: I have a server (CentOS 5.3 x86_64) on which I want to install a virtual Xen-machine (CentOS 5.3 x86_64), I ssh from my workstation (Centos 5.3 x86_64 .... do you see the pattern ;) ) to that server and start the virt-manager. I create a new Guest (Paravirtualiuzed) and point it to the server with the installation files (CentOS 5.3, but I already said that). The

Hi! When trying to prepare a workstation with (so that the real "yum upgrade" doesn't have to download the packages) yum upgrade --upgradeonly it fails with these messages: Error: Missing Dependency: libegroupwise-1.2.so.12 is needed by package evolution Error: Missing Dependency: libgtkhtml-3.8.so.15 is needed by package evolution Error: Missing Dependency:

It was unfortunate that the CentOS 4.7 release announcement did not refer to the Release Notes on the wiki: http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS4.7 I propose to put this link in the Download page ( http://wiki.centos.org/Download ) instead of, or in addition to, the current link which points to the 4.7 announcement.

Dear Ralph, Can you remove the following pages, which were incorrectly capitalized during creation: * Manuals/ReleaseNotes/Centos5.3/ChineseTW * Manuals/ReleaseNotes/Centos4.8/ChineseTW * Manuals/ReleaseNotes/Centos4.7/ChineseTW In addition, can you enable automatic redirection for non-existent zh-tw pages? Thanks! Regards, Timothy Lee -------------- next part -------------- An

I know this is quite a handwaving, stupid question, but I don't know where else to ask it and maybe somebody here can at least point me into the right direction, because I'm stuck. I have a program package that were using here (OpenFOAM for those who know it). My problem is that when I compile and link this package on CentOS 5, it won't run on CentOS 4.x-machines but stops with a

Hi! I know that the nvidia-drv-x11-package is from RPMForge, but I thought I might mention it here. I have a machine with a NVidia-card and because of the ease of use I use the rpmforge-package for that. After upgrading the problem was that during rebooting as soon as the machine hit the RHGB (which implicitly uses that driver) the machine froze. I booted into the old kernel removed rhgb,

I am trying to configure NIS, PAM, & LDAP on a CentOS 6.2 host. I've previously installed a similar configuration on RHEL4, but CentOS now uses nss-pam-ldapd and nslcd instead of nss_ldap, so the configurations are a little different. Currently, local users and groups are showing up but not LDAP users. When I do a /getent passwd/ and/getent group/ I don't get LDAP users. When I do

Hi! I've got a fileserver currently running under 5.3 with the /home-partition being an XFS-filesystem. I use the kmod-xfs from extras. It works great ;) Now: as I understand it from the release-notes the 5.4 kernel has XFS already built-in. Right? Or is it just a kmod-package ("technology preview") Now my question is: are there any recommendations for an upgrade-procedure? I

Hi! I want to test some software on my CentOS 5 machine that is not too happy with the system python (2.4). So when I install a python to my machines I want it to be a) clean: in other words it should be a RPM b) safe: it should not remove the system-python (in order not to break the system-scripts in subtle ways) but be accessible for instance as python2.6 (while python would still be

I have installed and configured the puppet client nodes to use LDAP to authenicate users. LDAP connection is OK and user can be authenicated via LDAP. I use nscd and with my ldap config setting specify on /etc/ldap.conf However, puppet is not happy; and in the /var/log/messages it gives tons of puppet-agent[27499]: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server puppet-agent[27499]: nss_ldap:

Hi! During the last weeks I experienced some performance problems with a large file-system on XFS basis. Sometimes for instance ls is painfully. Immidiatly afterwards ls on the same directory is immidiate. I used strace on this ls and found that during the first ls the lstat-calls need approx 0.02s each while during the second ls the are two orders of magnitude faster. Googling around I stumbled

I also just noticed quite a few of the following warning messages in the quotad.log log file: [2017-08-01 07:59:27.834202] W [MSGID: 108027] [afr-common.c:2496:afr_discover_done] 0-myvolume-replicate-0: no read subvols for (null) > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: [Gluster-users] Quotas not working after adding arbiter brick to replica 2 > Local Time: August 1, 2017 8:49 AM

Im running CentOS 5 with samba configured as PDC, with samba 3.0.24 and openldap-servers-2.3.30-2. My /etc/nsswitch.conf is like this: passwd: files ldap shadow: files ldap group: files ldap The problem is when I try to restart LDAP (/etc/init.d/ldap restart) then the init script just hangs. I suppose it will try to run slapd as the ldap user The ldap user is not in LDAP only in

CentOS Errata and Bugfix Advisory 2006:0901-001 The up2date released with CentOS-4.4 did not specifically require the new centos-release, however the new centos-release provides the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file for up2date. This update changes up2date to require centos-release >= 4-4.2 which will allow up2date to be used to upgrade of CentOS from 4.3 (or older versions) to 4.4. The

Ooops, we did it again ... This release (4.7) has the first release notes on the wiki for a CentOS 4 release. And as always we could use some people to translate those :) We didn't find that many problems within QA, so the release notes should now be fairly complete, with limitied changes to them. ISo if you are interested and willing (you are, aren't you?), this is the place to edit:
