similar to: No kernel-debuginfo for actual kernel?

Many people seem to wait for the announcement of CentOS 6.0, so I want to share some test results I did with SL 6.0.. The actual 6.0 kernel can NOT allocate tape buffers when the server is heavily loaded at least on some LSILogic hardware. There is a big problem of slab buffer increase that can cause reboot/freeze of the server under load. Reported by many and verified by me :-( So perhaps

Are there any known race conditions with 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5 x86_64 and NFS4? Today a user managed to shut down two identical Intel servers by copying a simple text file via NFS4. Reverting back to 17.1 made the error disappear. On other non-identical hardware the error was not reproducible (so it must be a combination of hardware and this special kernel revision). Anybody interested in a

Are there any 64bit CentOS5 kernels available that are immune against the exploit mentioned in the subject? Turning off 32bit support is no option to me.. Gerhard Schneider P.S.: Source code can be found at http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2010/Sep/268 and is working "well" on 2.6.18-194.11.3.el5.centos.plus -- Gerhard Schneider Institute of Lightweight Design and e-Mail: gs

Do CentOS 5.4 users still have to use the RedHat preliminary kernels (http://people.redhat.com/jlayton/) for getting a NFSv4 safe kernel or have the patches been incorporated into CentosPlus kernels? Or is kernel-2.6.18-164.3.1.el5 somewhere in the queue? Thanks in advance! GS -- Gerhard Schneider Institute of Lightweight Design and e-Mail: gs at ilsb.tuwien.ac.at Structural

Is there any known problem with accountsservice-0.6.35-12 with NFS users? After logging in via lightdm they are not "remembered" and there is no entry created to /var/lib/AccountsService/users Downgrading to accountsservice-0.6.35-9 resolved that issue Gerhard Schneider -- Gerhard Schneider Institute of Lightweight Design and e-Mail: gs at ilsb.tuwien.ac.at Structural

An user is using 2 displays and configured Gnome to "Static Workspaces only on primary display on" using gnome-tweak-tool Till 7.2 it was working as expected. After upgrading to 7.3 the content on the primary screen gets mirrored to all workspaces. When switching to "Static Workspaces only on primary display off" everything is working as expected on 7.3, too. Any ideas?

After upgrading approx. 50 machines to 7.4 we discovered a reproducible SegFault of one of our commercial programs we use. This SegFault does not occur on CentOS 7.3 and it occurs only on Xeon E3-1230 V3, Xeon E5-2690 and Xeon E5-2697 v2. It does NOT occur on Xeon E5-2697 v3 and Xeon E3-1231 v3, AMD Ryzen and older Core I7-9xx. It is not dependent of the kernel, we switched back to an CentOS

Today we tried to update machines w/ Core2 Duo E6750 from 3.10.0-693.11.1.el7.centos.plus to 3.10.0-693.11.6.el7.centos.plus and the machines did not boot due to a kernel panic. Before we dig any further I wanted to know if the 11.6 kernel has been tested on old hardware, too, or if the problem is well known but not documented (yet). Thank you in advance!

Hi All, I have a WD RE4-GP which dropped an Adaptec 51645 RAID controller. I ran a smartctl short test on the drive and it failed with a read error. So I ran the Western Digital's own diagnostic software (DLGDIAG), both the short and extended test on the drive and it passed with no errors. So I ran the smartctl short test again and again it failed. I then ran smartctl long test and that

Hello all, In the process of building a new VM box to replace several individual CentOS servers, I've had the "interesting" experience of running both CentOS-5.5 and RHEL-6 (eval copy) as I build out the hardware based on a Supermicro motherboard. A couple of observations regarding RAID-6: - RAID-6 arrays created on RHEL-6 don't seem backward compatible with CentOS-5.5.

Hi, Despite the mailing list and twitter I did not find any updated info on either versions regarding the current status. So, what is the current status of both versions?

In CentOS5 you were able to create a server section in /etc/gdm/custom.conf such as [server-Standard] name=Standard server command=/usr/bin/Xorg -br -audit 4 -s 15 chooser=false handled=true flexible=true priority=0 After this change, Xorg would run with the -br -audit 4 -s 15 options. Unfortunately in CentOS6 this is not the case. It completely ignores anything put into custom.conf as far

This morning I applied the recent updates to CentOS-5.6 on a test and development host and observed this: Updating : kmod-kvm 4/20 WARNING: Can't read module /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.32.1.el5/weak-updates/kmod-kvm/kvm.ko: No such file or directory WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.32.1.el5/weak-updates/kmod-kvm/ksm.ko needs unknown symbol

Hello, We have default xen 3.1.2 on centOS 5.5. We now want to upgrade xen 3.1.2 to xen 4.0.1 while using the existing dom0 kernel (2.6.18).

Clang's CFG construction introduces NULL successors for infeasible paths. These are exposed via GraphTraits iterators, which is currently unhandled in LLVM code, e.g. in llvm::DFSPass(...) To reproduce: $ echo "int main() { return 0 ? 0 : 0; }" | clang -cc1 -analyze -analyzer-checker=debug.DumpDominators -x c - segfaults in llvm::DFSPass() The question is, should this be fixed
