Inactive raid1 partition failure
by Alex 05 Aug '15

05 Aug '15

Hi, I have a fedora21 system with three md RAID1 arrays. I had used this system to temporarily access an external array connected to an LSI controller in the system. So I inserted the LSI controller, accessed the data on the disks connected to it, and removed the controller from the system. Now, all three md RAID arrays are in some type of degraded state: # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md2 : inactive sdb1[1](S) sdc1[4](S) 1953519616 blocks super 1.2 md0 : active raid1 sda1[0] 511988 blocks super 1.0 [2/1] [U_] md1 : active raid1 sda2[0] 237566840 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_] bitmap: 2/2 pages [8KB], 65536KB chunk Thankfully the system boots. The inactive array, md2, is connected to /var/backup, so I just commented it out of /etc/fstab to get the system to boot. It appears the devices were somehow impacted by the LSI controller, and now the partitions/devices have been reordered. How do I realign these slices to rebuild the array? Thanks, Alex

Are you running the stock BIOS? I flashed johnlewis's ROM and can successfully boot F22 media. I initially had to do F20->F21->F22. Flashed the ROM, ran Debian for a while, and then went back to a minimal F22 install. I don't recall having any issues booting Fedora media after flashing the BIOS. I followed these steps: https://blogs.fsfe.org/the_unconventional/2014/09/19/c720-coreboot/ More reading: https://johnlewis.ie/custom-chromebook-firmware/rom-download/ -- jmz(a)sdf.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.org

amavis stopped logging to maillog after upgrade
by Alex 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Hi, I recently performed an upgrade from fedora20 to fedora21, and now amavisd-new no longer logs to /var/log/maillog (or anywhere else that I can find.) The /etc/amavisd.conf file hasn't changed. I've also made sure rsyslog is still running, and is receiving logging info from postfix. # grep log /etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf $log_level = 2; # verbosity 0..5, -d $log_recip_templ = undef; # disable by-recipient level-0 log entries $DO_SYSLOG = 1; # log via syslogd (preferred) $syslog_facility = 'mail'; # Syslog facility as a string $syslog_priority = 'debug'; # Syslog base (minimal) priority as a string, # egrep -v '^$|^#' /etc/rsyslog.conf $ModLoad imuxsock # provides support for local system logging (e.g. via logger command) $ModLoad imklog # provides kernel logging support (previously done by rklogd) $SystemLogRateLimitInterval 0 $ActionFileDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat $IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf kern.none /dev/console kern.* /var/log/kern.log *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages authpriv.* /var/log/secure mail.* -/var/log/maillog cron.* /var/log/cron *.emerg * uucp,news.crit /var/log/spooler local7.* /var/log/boot.log I don't understand if this is a journalctl error or not. The logs are going to the standard journalctl log. There is also no /var/log/amavisd.log file present. Thanks for any ideas. Alex

F22 - dnf extreme slow
by Martin Møller Skarbiniks Pedersen 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Hi, After upgrading from F21 to F22 and switching to dnf, my update/install process is very very slow. Eg. dnf install tmux took more than 5 minutes. Most of the time I just give up after waiting more than 30 minutes. In F21 it would have taken a few seconds. Please advise: # dnf clean all Cleaning repos: fedora updates Cleaning up Everything # time dnf -4y update Fedora 22 - x86_64 347 kB/s | 41 MB 02:01 Updates ... (After 15-20 minutes, it finally starts downloading packages) [...] (2/836): kernel-debug-core-4.1.3-200.fc22.x86_64.rpm 57 kB/s | 21 MB 06:12 (3/836): kernel-core-4.1.3-200.fc22.x86_64.rpm 53 kB/s | 19 MB 06:14 [MIRROR] kernel-debug-devel-4.1.3-200.fc22.x86_64.rpm: Curl error (28): Timeout was reached for ftp://mirror.easyspeedy.com/fedora/updates/22/x86_64/k/kernel-debug-devel-4… [Connection time-out] Regards Martin

Acer C720 Support
by Zach Villers 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Sorry if I am posting to the wrong list. I'm wondering what needs to happen to get Anaconda to work on a Chromebook laptop with F22 and beyond? I have been trying to install Fedora on my Acer C720 Chromebook. Rawhide, F22, and F21 .iso's written to a usb drive via dd will not get past the grub splash screen. I've tried changing the boot parameters, to no avail. The C720 had a working Xubuntu install on it, so I know I have set the machine's bios up properly. I have been able to find this information regarding a possible syslinux issue; http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2015-February/023209.html I was able to install with a Fedora 20 netinstall image using these instructions; https://onemoretech.wordpress.com/2014/03/28/booting-the-acer-c720-with-fed… I just pointed Anaconda to an F22 workstation mirror. There are reports for various Chromebook issues on bugzilla; https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=chromebook so I know that people have been able to install. I would be willing to test any patches that can be provided, but when I tried the patch of syslinux suggested in the syslinux mailing list, I still could not get the iso i created with (what I thought was the patched version of syslinux) to work. TIA and apologies for the ramble.

dnf autoremove -- removes explicitly installed thunderbird
by A.J. Bonnema 04 Aug '15

Hey all, Anyone noticed that after successfully installing thunderbird with "dnf install thunderbird" the statement "dnf autoremove" selects thunderbird for removal? I would like hear if anyone else has this problem. Regards, Guus.

False alarm. It appears that the mod_gnutls was installed somehow and it prevented ssl and nss modules to load.

Re: Replacement rack server recommendations
by Steve Berg 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

I haven't used the H330's but I do have quite a few R610's, R620's, R720xd's, R730xd's and a few other various systems where I work. They all run SciLinux, (6.x and 7.x). We've been very happy with them so far, got half a dozen or so in the ordering pipeline too. Some of the smaller RAID cards are Window's only so be careful that you check the specs before you buy. Got burned on one of those a few years back, my fault, I didn't read the fine print. Most of my systems have H7xx or H8xx RAID controllers. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gary Stainburn [mailto:gary.stainburn@ringways.co.uk] To: users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Sent: Mon, 3 Aug 2015 14:24:27 +0100 Subject: Re: Replacement rack server recommendations On Monday 03 August 2015 14:09:13 Todor Petkov wrote: > Hi, > > I can recomment IBM M4/M5 Series (now it's Lenovo).

I am looking at Lenovo at the moment. I'm also looking at the DELL PowerEdge R630 with the H330 RAID controller. Google seems to come up with conflicting reports on this though, some saying it works fine while others are having trouble with the RAID controller not showing any drives when doing the install.
