similar to: Some RAID-6 observations ... RHEL-6 vs CentOS-5.5

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

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

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?

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

Hallo, actual Intel Ethernet cards PCI-E - Are normal recognized by Centos 5.5 Live CD - Not recognized by 5.2 Because of vmware, I will use 5.2 Update kernel? Update Modules? What Module? Thanks for help Helmut -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

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

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

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

After a crash I tried wget http://debuginfo.centos.org/5/x86_64/kernel-debuginfo-2.6.18-194.32.1.el5.x86_64.rpm as usual. But for 32.1 there is no kernel-debuginfo. Is there any reason for that?

Hi, Can anyone help me with this since I want to get it done "the correct way" I'm trying to make mdmonitor to execute a program when it detects a fail event automatically. Currently, from what I see, init is calling mdmonitor with these options mdadm --monitor --scan -f (note that the --program is not there) and this is in my /etc/mdadm.conf MAILADDR root PROGRAM

Hi all, I have setup a raid1 between two iscsi disks and mdadm command goes well. Problems starts when i rebooted the server (CentOS 5.4 fully updated): raid is lost, and i don't understand why. "mdadm --detail --scan" doesn't returns me any output. "mdadm --examine --scan" returns me: ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid1 num-devices=2

Hello all, I have been doing some searching for information about disabling services within a CentOS 5.5 install. I have found a few different opinions, and wanted to ask for some feedback. First off, the system is running a LAMP stack to serve a web application. It will only be doing email to send occasional messages out (sent via the application only). It will not be receiving email for any

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!
