I have an ext4 filesystem for which I'm trying to use "tune2fs -l". Here is the listing of the filesystem from the "mount" command: # mount | grep share /dev/mapper/VolGroup_Share-LogVol_Share on /share type ext4 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,usrjquota=aquota.user,jqfmt=vfsv0,data=writeback,nobh,barrier=0) When I try to run "tune2fs" on it, I get the following error:

tune2fs against a LVM (albeit formatted with ext4) is not the same as tune2fs against ext4. Could this possibly be a machine where uptime has outlived its usefulness?

Are there any Unix admins still left around who remember systems with kernel that doesn't need [security] patching for few years? And libc that does not need security patches often. I almost said glibc, but on those Unixes it was libc; glibc, however, wasn't

I have a dual Xeon 5130 (four total CPUs) server running CentOS 5.7. Approximately every 17 hours, the load on this server slowly creeps up until it hits 20, then slowly goes back down. The most recent example started around 2:00am this morning. Outside of these weird times, the load never exceeds 2.0 (and in fact spends the overwhelming majority of its time at 1.0). So this morning, a few

I?m looking for advice and considerations on how to optimally setup and deploy an NFS-based home directory server. In particular: (1) how to determine hardware requirements, and (2) how to best setup and configure the server. We actually have a system in place, but the performance is pretty bad---the users often experience a fair amount of lag (1--5 seconds) when doing anything on their home

Hi, We have a little over 100 servers, almost all running CentOS 5.7. Virtually all are Dell servers, generally a mix of 1950s, R610s, and R410s. We use NTP and/or PTP to sync their clocks. One phenomenon we've noticed is that (1) on reboot, the clocks are all greatly out of sync, and (2) if the PTP or NTP process is stopped, the clocks start drifting very quickly. If it was isolated to

I'm only getting a text console with CentOS-7.2 on my (oldish) HP MicroServer. The only explicit error I see in Xorg.0.log is that no driver is found for my Pixart USB optical mouse. My query is: would that be sufficient to prevent a graphic console? Incidentally, I can use X apps, eg xpdf, if I ssh in from my laptop. As always, any advice gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy

I can't seem to find the answer to this question via web search... I changed some hardware on a server, and upon powering it back on, got the "/dev/xxx has gone 40 days without being check, check forced" message. Now it's running fsck on a huge (2 TB) ext3 filesystem (5400 RPM drives no less). How can I stop this in-progress check? Ctrl-C doesn't seem to have any effect.

Hi all, I observe that r220932 (Removing the static initializer in ManagedStatic.cpp by using llvm_call_once to initialize the ManagedStatic mutex.) is causing tablegen to segfault in PPC platforms during static initialization. The crash happens while calling std::call_once introduced by this patch in the wrapper used in getManagedStaticMutex. I understand this call is buggy for some platforms

Is anyone on the list using kerberized-nfs on any kind of scale? I've been fighting with this for years. In general, when we have issues with this system, they are random and/or not repeatable. I've had very little luck with community support. I hope I don't offend by saying that! Rather, my belief is that these problems are very niche/esoteric, and so beyond the scope of typical

Hi, I use centos as it is stable and provides all the software that is needed for everyday use. However, sometimes I would like to use fresh software that is not available as a package. Compiling from source is indeed an option but because centos uses oldish sources not only the sought package should be built but a lot of other packages. An idea is to build it in a directory, as much

I always tell vendors I'm using RHEL, even though we're using CentOS. If you say CentOS, some vendors immediately throw up their hands and say "unsupported" and then won't even give you the time of day. A couple tricks for fooling tools into thinking they are on an actual RHEL system: 1. Modify /etc/redhat-release to say RedHat Enterprise Linux or whatever the actual RHEL

We have a "compute cluster" of about 100 machines that do a read-only NFS mount to a big NAS filer (a NetApp FAS6280). The jobs running on these boxes are analysis/simulation jobs that constantly read data off the NAS. We recently upgraded all these machines from CentOS 5.7 to CentOS 6.5. We did a "piecemeal" upgrade, usually upgrading five or so machines at a time, every few

Hi Keir, For HVM guests, all cpuid Fn''s going through domain_cpuid() iterate over the loop and then return 0 for all four registers. Guests OS''s and cpuid tools in HVM which query for cpuid Fn 0000.0000 %eax and 8000.0000 %eax, see the value 0 and think, Xen emulates oldish 386/486 CPUs. This leads to strange boot failures, "your CPU does not support long mode" or

Hello there, I am trying to build OpenSSH on the above (very old) version of unix. With a bit of hacking, I have managed to get everything to compile and run. Scp works fine however when I log in via ssh I end up with a session without a controlling terminal. I have followed the code in pty_make_controlling_tty and it seems to go as follows: 1. Starts with a controlling tty. 2. setsid works,
