Mounting VirtualBox host shared folder via "mount.vboxsf hostfolder /mounpoint/" results in an error. Direct mount via mount.vboxsf works.

[Bug 658518] New: rpmdb corruption during installation of packages

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=658518 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=658518#c0 Summary: rpmdb corruption during installation of packages Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: sunfish69(a)gmail.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b7) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b7 Hello, On a fresh install of 11.4 Factory Milestone 4, I installed a few more packages and encountered an rpm2solv error complaining about a missing directory or file. The error could be reproduced by re-running the install operation with zypper -f in [pkgnames]. As I was doing the initial configuration and I was offline, I didn't save the error messages. When running the next install operation, I encountered similar error messages to the ones in this Fedora bug, for example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=468437 (see the attachment including the user's session) except that the filenames were different, of course. It included the line "rpmdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery". I'm sorry but I didn't save the error messages, as I was trying to finish configuring the system. I found the relevant records in the Redhat/Fedora bugzilla and ran rpm --rebuilddb which seems to have fixed the error temporarily (at least I couldn't reproduce the bug last night). Here are the exact steps I followed: - used 11.4M4 x86_64 netinstall converted to bootable ISO with syslinux - deleted previous DOS partitions on disk, created LVM based setup with encryption (/boot: separate ext2, LVs: ext4) - booted the system and started adding packages, without error - adjusted a few sysconfig parameters and configured fingerprint auth etc - continued installing packages and encountered an rpm2solv error - re-ran the previous install operation and saw that the error came back - continued with configuration - disabled a handful of services (chkconfig) - tried to install more packages, the rpmdb panic kicked in - googled the solution and fixed the rpm db - shut down the machine (Is it possible that this error was not reported in openSUSE until now? A lot of users encountered this problem and got away with the rebuilddb as a solution. See http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=rpmdb%3A+PANIC+site%3Aopensus… ) My configuration: Lenovo ThinkPad x61s, 64GB MLC SSD drive, root filesystem on LVM with dm-crypt, all LVs with ext4 filesystems. Minimal X11 installation. Extra repo Packman added, but no packages are installed from it (= the system is close to the 'vanilla' installation). The hardware is known to be free of errors. I can attach zypper logs later if necessary. Best regards LGee Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Steps to Reproduce: 1. install system with ext4 2. install additional packages 3. ... Actual Results: The rpm database is corrupted. rpm --rebuilddb fixes it. Expected Results: The rpm database doesn't get corrupted. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 366762] cron ignores postfix environmental settings
by bugzilla_noreply＠novell.com 03 Jan '11

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=366762 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=366762#c13 --- Comment #13 from Don Hughes <support(a)microtechniques.com> 2011-01-03 21:13:15 UTC --- I have a system that occasionally processes mailing lists that are signed with DKIM. Since the e-mail envelope information is included in the signature, I found it very difficult to have a single instance of postfix expand the address information, sign the e-mail, deliver local email, and accept incoming e-mail. I found it much easier to understand and maintain by running three postfix instances: 1) postfix-out which expands address lists, normalizes FROM information, and applies disclaimers and opt-out notices and then forwards the mailt to 2) postfix-mailer which signs the mail and forwards it for delivery and which does not have to modify any of the envelope or mail information, and 3) postfix-in which processes incoming mail for signature verification and local delivery. I also run cfengine to keep the configurations of all of my various servers in sync, and since these versions of postfix have very different configurations from any of my other machines, it was much less error prone to give them different names/paths. Since the SENDMAIL command respects the MAIL_CONFIG environment variable, it was fairly easy to get the vast majority of the applications that run on this server to correctly send their output to the correct instance. The end result was that only a few root e-mails generated by the security jobs were collecting in the delivery queues of the /etc/postfix instance instead of being forwarded to the central monitoring system. I found the patches preferable to having yet another postfix instance to keep track of and, besides, if I specifically change MAIL_CONFIG I would expect all of the jobs that generate e-mail to respect it, not just the ones that feel like it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 465039] ksoftirqd takes 100% cpu, unable to reboot properly

The problem luckily didn`t plague me in the last time. Michael, what kind of ksoftirqd problem was there? CPU-usage only, or with massive disk access and a totally irresponsive system? 100% CPU-usage of both CPUs or only of one? Did the problem go by itself or was a reboot the only escape? How often and by what frequency did it occur so far? What kind of system are you using: hardware, modules - perhaps someone can tell us what to look at. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
