CentOS

I don't do any yum updates automatically - all manual, so it's hard to give an exact date. However the above message has been appearing every other time I run "yum update" for atleast 2 weeks. It's definitely something at the repo end, but not too concerning for me because yum just moves to the next...

I think it's something dodgy at the repo end - not your machine.

I'm getting the same with that repo.

This is a bit annoying as this is bound to put things back a bit and any new filesystem will likely incur years of maturing before being production ready, admittedly stratis looks to be an additional layer of abstraction on already existing filesystems so maybe that'll see a quicker turnaround. As g...

The simplest way would be to use yum-utils to download the srpm, once downloaded extract it and the name of the patch to the bottom of the spec files head. Download the patch, put it in your sources folder, then use mock to rebuild the srpm and from that build the rpm. Mock will manage any dependenc...

Usually when I've dealt with Kernel panics in the past I've been able to pinpoint it to a specific action I'd taken, with the system I've just set up I have not been able to do so. The trouble is I can't reproduce them and since this machine is a server I need to ensure it is reliable - I'm not real...

I'm already using ZFS as my root filesystem and striped mirrored vdevs as my storage pool - admittedly the root filesystem is a single disk pool. I just don't see much benefit in raid for the os - there's no valuable data on it and the configuration is backed up regularly to the storage raid. Back t...

One more thing - I've built the Fedora package and minus having to create an selinux policy module to allow nvme access, it's all working well. However I just received an email stating "Device: /dev/nvme0, number of Error Log entries increased from 21 to 23". The output of smartctl -a is very differ...

Yeah that's what I'm going to do - however as mentioned it's something I'd rather not have to do as it's another package I have to manage updates for. I downloaded the RHEL 7.4 package from my developer account and no it doesn't have NVME support. Do you think it's worth opening another bug report? ...

Just built my new storage server - it uses an Samsung p951 NVME drive for the OS, something I didn't realise having gone with CentOS over Fedora Server this time round, is that the version of smartmontools in RHEL 7 doesn't actually support NVME drives. smartctl just prompts you to manually specify ...
