We've seen at random times that the server will just reboot and nothing is logged in messages. I tried to enable kdump but was only able to get a 5.4 gig dump since our /var directory is set to 10GB. Here is the messages I see before and after the server restart. I had thought that when a kernel panics, it is supposed to halt the system and not reboot it. My /proc/sys/kernel/panic is set to 0. I can run an update but want to have some sort of idea what is causing the issue and if the update will fix anything.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been using Fedora since almost 1 week by now, and I'm really impressed by its features but there is one very small problem that I face everyday.At the first place, I had setup a profile settings for Network so all my static IP, Hosts, DNS servers were all configured in that profile.Now I had filled in something in the Primary DNS Server and then I had saved it. The internet works after that but when I reboot, that Primary DNS server gets deleted. I have to type it all the time and then click on save and then start using the internet again.

Lets say I name my samba server ABC and set it up via system-config-samba utils. I follow basic steps and fill out everything according to most guides that are available for fedora. After that everything works great, I can connect to samba server ABC form any machine through smb://ABC (mac) or \ABC (win), however as soon as I restart smb services or my server (subsequently restarting the smb service ...) I no longer can connect to it via samba server name ABC, I can only do smb://SambaServerIP or \SambaServerIP (have to put numerical internal ip to connect)
My smb.conf:
# cat /etc/samba/smb.conf

I am running a 5 node 11g RAC cluster with cluster ready services. The hardware is HP BL460g6 with virtual connect modules on each chassis. The OS is RHEL5.5, 2 Qlogic 4G fibre cards, 2 Broadcom NICs bonded, and the backend disk is all Hitachi 15k. The issue that I'm seeing is periodically each day there are spikes in I/O waits for disk writes, and sometimes that will cause a node or 2 to reboot when CRS can't communicate with the other nodes. Both nodes that have been evicted, are on the same chassis. What I've checked is, the backend storage is not seeing ANY high utilization, in fact it's running at less than 10% all the time. The network is 10G, and is not showing errors on the switch, or on the blades themselves. The redo logs have a 10M buffer cache, and are running on ASM disk. What other information would be beneficial to check? I am seeing nothing in the logs as to any errors, or waits for disk writes. I believe it's a software issue, but am lost as to how to prove it. These aren't the only nodes experiencing periodic high I/O waits, and it happens at the exact same time on all systems, whether they run ASM or are part of a cluster.

I tried rebuilding and installing the proprietary NVIDIA driver, as it builds it's own config file for X. I've had no previous problems with X on this system. The last major change to the system before the last log out was the installation of MCNP5. MCNP5 was installed under the regular user; no root privledges were needed.

The problems came up when I tried to reboot the server to test the init system. It just does not come up, I cannot ping it, nothing. I can boot into the rescue system, mount the system partitions and chroot in to the filesystem. In this state I also can run my services, including apache2 and mysql. In the syslog I find nothing about the reboot. Now I need to reboot ino the normal system. I already tried to resume to sysvinit without success.

I have implemented a web application on Linux that I want to deploy and sell to customers. I want to sell ready systems including the hardware. The application is written in PHP/MySQL. What I am searching to achieve is :
1) Find a way so that filesystem and partitions to be encrypted but without the need to insert some code when rebooting. So that if someone gets out the hard disks and attach to another system, cannot have any access to my files or settings. And of course when rebooting (e.g. after a power failure) encryption to be applied automatically.
2) I know that there are ways to bypass root password on a Linux system. Can all these ways be unassigned ? I want the only way to have access to system, to be by using the root password and nothing else.
I have thought of using a virtual server instead of a physical one (like deploying a virtualbox server) but still would like this to be the most secure possible including not only remote but also local access to system.
I have two dual boot systems, each running Fedora 11 and a version of Windows.When I boot into Windows after running Fedora on either, the Windows time is wrong and I have to reset it. But, if I reboot from Windows into Windows, the Windows time is right . I think this results from different ways Fedora and Linux keepi track of time and what they do to the real time hardware clock.Could someone explain exactly what is going wrong and how I can resolve the problem?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAbout 2 weeks ago i installed ubuntu 10.10 and downloaded fresh network drivers. I ran autorun.sh, the module was compiled and installed, i could see it with lsmod. But after rebooting the old module appeared again, but no file for him were in modules directory because autorun.sh removed old module file. Some time passed and I figured out that it is initrd who is guilty. I couldn't check it because i already deleted ubuntu and installed Fedora 14 Beta. Today i tried to repeat my steps and installed new network module on Fedora. But when i rebooted and started again i was surprised - new module works instead my old one. Everything is fine So, my question, does Fedora use initrd? I saw some files in /boot that which are initrd files (as i think). Or may be not every fedora system uses initrd or something else?
View 7 Replies View RelatedMy laptop (as many others) has a hardware switch which turns wireless/bluetooth disabled. If after booting up the system I switch on this key, the wireless would still remain disabled and I need to reboot the system to be able to connect to any network.
I have tried
Code:
rfkill unblock all
ifconfig wlan0 up
Is there any way to activate wireless without rebooting the system?
If i install new hardware using a vmguest or physical system How can I detect it.
disk
nic
memory
etc.
In AIX we just run cfgmgr -v. Is there a similar command in Red Hat?I am guessing a reboot will pick it up if the device drivers are common enough and in the kernel already. I want to know how to do this dynamically with the system on-line if possible.
I have kuduz installed but am wondering if there is a way to probe hardware with Fedora without having to reboot? Ioscan command is not found in my terminal and I can't find it in my Package Manager or a RPM search. A GUI version would also be of interest but not mandatory.I'm a Mandriva defector that is wheening off of Drake Tools.

I have downloaded the latest iso from the Fedora site (15 32-bit). I am using a netbook and so I have used the tool suggested on the site to copy the iso to my usb drive. Before this I formatted it to fat32 in Windows and then used the tool. When I rebooted with my USB drive, all that shows is a blinking _. I tried repeating the process again but the same happened.

My system automatically tried to restart but on the restart I got the 'terminal' view. It stopped when asking for my username (it never normally asks for this before the grub menu) and then password. I didn't get any further than that.
I now have on my screen (still in the terminal view before the grub menu)
