I registered on the forum yesterday and sent a message. Today I go to the forum (general) - my message has not appeared yet. And I cannot answer to the message (from another forum user) about a problem: I don't see any answer icon. My username on the forum is mbkus (with my other e-mail). I don't see any way to contact the forum manager. Mikhail

OpenSSH policies / system crypto policy equivalence
by Francesco Di Nucci 20 Jun '24

20 Jun '24

Hello, I am trying to write a crypto policy modifier to disable some kex algorithms in OpenSSH (not the one in the example, but the issue is the same). Reading //usr/share/crypto-policies/python/policygenerators/openssh.py/, I find mappings like /'ECDHE-SECP521R1-SHA2-512': 'ecdh-sha2-nistp521'/, so I tried to write in a pmod /key_exchange = -ECDHE-SECP521R1-SHA2-512/ When I try to load it with update-crypto-policies, it fails stating /Bad value of policy property `key_exchange`: `ECDHE-SECP521R1-SHA2-512`/, and in fact If I check //usr/share/crypto-policies/python/cryptopolicies/alg_lists.py, /ECDHE-SECP521R1-SHA2-512 is not defined there. So, how can I disable in OpenSSH kex/algorithms/etc that are defined in //usr/share/crypto-policies/python/policygenerators/openssh.py /but not in //usr/share/crypto-policies/python/cryptopolicies/alg_lists.py?/ Best regards Francesco Di Nucci

Nftables breaks ...
by Werf, C.G. van der (Carel) 16 May '24

16 May '24

LS Updating AlmaLinux 9.3 to 9.4, the package Nftables seems to get upgraded from 1.0.4 to 1.0.9.1 And after the upgrade, netfilter completely blocks any in- and outbound network traffic. Removing version 1.0.9 and reinstalling the Alma9.3-baseos-package nftables-1.0.4 fixes the problem. Could it be that some of the nft-kernel modules aren't loaded by the package ? Anyone any idea ? Regards, Carel

Folks, Can` anyone point me in the direction of `pdfjam`? It seems part of `texlive` but doesn't get installed with it. It seems to be provided in the fedora build system for EL: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=34352082 https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=26454 I'm a bit stumped with what to install for it.

Almalinux and integritysetup speed problem
by Alessandro Baggi 10 Apr '24

10 Apr '24

Hi list, I'm trying on a spare machine dm-integrity with mdadm raid1. This is an old machine (i7-2600k). I'm using 2x500GB wd caviar black SATA3. I'm trying to run some test and see how much performance changes using dm-integrity. First I created a raid1 with mdadm and checked the performances and writing 50G I got 100 MB/s Then I destroied the md device and on every disk I run: # integritysetup format --integrity xxhash64 /dev/sdb1 # integritysetup format --integrity xxhash64 /dev/sdc1 During this process the performances was good ~95MB/s. After this I opened the devices with: # integritysetup open integrity xxhash64 /dev/sdb1 sdb1 # integritysetup open integrity xxhash64 /dev/sdc1 sdc1 and created the mdadm array with: # mdadm --create /dev/md10 --level=raid1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/mapper/sdb1 /dev/mapper/sdc1 and reading on /proc/mdstat I got this: [>....................] resync = 1.1% (4929792/443175424) finish=677.3min speed=10782K/sec Why there is so big drop on speed during the sync? I'm missing something? I'll need 11 hours to sync 2x500GB hdd? Why so slow? Before this I tried the same on a newer machine with i7 8700k and 2x2TB WD gold and I get a drop sync speed at ~35MB/s. There is something that I can do to improve this? Thank you in advance. Alessandro.

AlmaLinux Appstream
by Alessandro Baggi 09 Apr '24

09 Apr '24

Hi list, I've noticed that RHEL has several type of appstream: RHEL 9 Application Streams Release Life Cycle RHEL 9 Full Life Application Streams Release Life Cycle RHEL 9 Rolling Application Streams Release Life Cycle from here: https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhel-app-streams-life-cycl… I noticed that in application streams there less software that in AlmaLinux appstream. Why? They are RHEL binded packages (licenses etc...)? I noticed also that there is a rolling appstream which includes firefox 102 and other app. Is that rolling appstream available for AlmaLinux? Thank you in advance

ZFS and AlmaLinux 9.X
by Alessandro Baggi 28 Mar '24

28 Mar '24

Hi list, I would install ZFS on my backup server. It runs Almalinux 9.3 and actually it saves data on RAID1 MDADM. From what I read I can install ZFS from OpenZFS repositories for EL and choose between kABI tracking or DKMS. I read that using kABI module I will have problem when a new minor release will be released because I must wait that the kABI module from OpenZFS repo team should be built to support the new kernel. Have someone used the kABI module? How many time you need to wait the new module? Are they quick releasing it? The other method is using DKMS, so at every kernel update I need a DKMS recompilation with a possible problem during recompilation. Ok I will have the old module with the previous kernel that will work. How much DKMS recompilation problem occours? What is the best method in your experience? Thank you in advance. Alessandro.

Using bluetooth serial (RFCOMM) on AlmaLinux 9
by Marc Balmer 19 Mar '24

19 Mar '24

I am running the latest AlmaLinux 9 on a Raspberry Pi 3/4 computer. I want to communication with a Bluetooth device that uses the serial communication (SPP) profile. Using bluetoothctl I see the device, and I pair with it. However, I can not establish the serial link, i.e. I don’t have a /dev/rfcomm0 device to communicate. In other Linux distributions there exists the rfcomm command to connect to a Bluetooth serial device, but in AlmaLinux 9 this is not available. How can I establish a serial link over Bluetooth, then? The rfcomm kernel is present in AlmaLinux 9. Thanks, mb

Help with Listserv on AlmaLinux 8 or 9
by Xeno 13 Mar '24

13 Mar '24

Hello Almalinux Users, Glad to find you. This lists.almalinux.org is doing what I'm hoping to set up, Listserv on AlmaLinux. Is there a step by step set-up you can share? Or tips on getting it working? After three days of server rebuilds, I'm getting closer. Got LDAP working on AL9, for example, but wonder if there is a better way, like a working package that just installs everything with prompts. Thanks

Kernel panic booting Alma 9.2 and 9.3 on 9.3 VM with defaults

I'm trying to get a VM of Alma 9 running on a fully updated Alma 9 host.

XFS and COW operation
by Alessandro Baggi 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

Hi, I read from here https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/xfs/patch/20181110115104.30293-4-hch@l… that I can enable COW on XFS fs but I can't find any switch for always_cow unders sysfs. I'm running AlmaLinux 9.3. Reading the man page of mkfs.xfs I found: "reflink=value This option enables the use of a separate reference count btree index in each allocation group. The value is either 0 to disable the feature, or 1 to create a reference count btree in each allocation group. The reference count btree enables the sharing of physical extents between the data forks of different files, which is commonly known as "reflink". Unlike traditional Unix filesystems which assume that every inode and logical block pair map to a unique physical block, a reflink-capable XFS filesystem removes the uniqueness requirement, allowing up to four billion arbitrary inode/logical block pairs to map to a physical block. If a program tries to write to a multiply-referenced block in a file, the write will be redirected to a new block, and that file's logical-to-physical mapping will be changed to the new block ("copy on write"). This feature enables the creation of per-file snapshots and deduplication. It is only available for the data forks of regular files.By default, mkfs.xfs will create reference count btrees and therefore will enable the reflink feature." This means that using reflink=1 enable COW on the FS and that it is enable by default on fs creation or I'm missing something? Thank you in advance. Best regards, Alessandro.

AlmaLinux 9.1 Problem on MDADM raid1
by Alessandro Baggi 17 Feb '24

17 Feb '24

Hi Jack, I'm sorry to bother you during holidays. I encountered a strange problem installing AlmaLinux 9.1 on a RAID1 (MDADM) with the current configuration: - /boot/efi on md125 - swap on md126 - / on md127 disks are 2 SSD MLC Type. After the installation, if I reboot the system I get: "md: md125 stopped" (it is printed many times like in a loop) alternated with: "systemd-shutdown[1]: Not all MD devices stopped, 1 left Stopping MD Devices Stopping MD /dev/md125 (9:125)" and the system hangs on this loop until I cut the power. I encountered this issue on my Workstation with Asus Prime Z490-A / i9-10850k. I tried with another workstation that runs on Asus Prime Z370-A / i7 8700K, to exclude bad SATA controller and bad cables. Also on the second workstation the problem is found. I tried to replicate this using 9.0 ISO. The problem does not occur until I update to 9.1 I tried also with 8.7. No problem here. I tried also RockyLinux 9.1 and got the same problem but with different messages: "block device autoconfig is deprecated and will removed" alternated with: "blkdev_get_no_open: 270 callbacks suppressed." To stop the machine I need to cut the power. I tried also Debian 11.5 without problems. So seems that the problem is 9.1 related. Actually I can't test the same with RHEL 9.1 but probably the problem will occour also on RHEL 9.1 There is a way to fix this or I should wait an upgrade? Thank you in advance.

AlmaLinux 9.3 and SATA controller
by Alessandro Baggi 01 Feb '24

01 Feb '24

Hi, I need to buy a SATA3 PCI-E 3.0 2x controller with 4 or 6 port. It will be installed on my workstation. I need to use AlmaLinux or at least Fedora. Actually I found this: https://www.silverstonetek.com/it/product/info/expansion-cards/ECS06/ but I can't determine if it is supported by the kernel. The chipset is ASMedia ASM1166 (AHCI). I can't find good results on google search. How I can check if the controller is supported? If not what controller do you suggest? Thank you in advance. Alessandro.
