Hi,
After recently upgrading the kernel using yum, I seem to be having a problem with the kernel logging iptables output. This happens on the hardware node, and all virtual servers.
Prior to the update, the logging worked fine on the main and virtual servers, now none of them log.
What I have found out so far:
On initial boot up, messages are logged briefly until about 30 seconds after the VZ containers have been loaded (or sometimes until I ssh to a container). Then the logging of messages is stopped completely on virtual and main server, and thus I can't use a firewall to dynamically block people.
If I do "service vz stop", then as soon as they are all stopped, logging on the main server into /var/log/messages resumes, until I do a "service vz start" at which point it stops again.
This only occurs on the new kernel:
vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.1.1.el5.028stab062.3PAE
If I reselect the old kernel, all the messaging works as normal:
vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5.028stab060.8PAE
Not sure if this is something I can fix with help or if we need a new kernel without this issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
James
