similar to: Using NFS - which OS would you chose

Hi guys I'm about to embark on a project replacing a legacy single mail server running proprietary software with a cluster of Dovecot servers. We clearly need a shared mail store for these servers, but we are not happy with simply using a server running NFS as this becomes a single point of failure. What have other people used? AFAICT our options are: * A shared block device (Fibre

Ok, starting to make sense now. In order to fix it.... I note that the lower level calls are wrapped in dir.c - eg dptr_SeekDir(...) wraps SeekDir(...) this might allow for some code to use array indexes instead of NFS cookies as noted by Chris Chilvers here for the 3.10 kernel: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAAmbk-e-YQAPo6QyNB0aJyc9qzUShmEC+x5eTR7wqp1ABWADsg at mail.gmail.com/T/ > On the

Alternately, we could possibly modify the dptr_TellDir function to set a flag somewhere if it ever returns a negative offset. Then any calls to dptr_SeekDir checks if the flag is set and does a slower approach of a RewindDir and then multiple ReadDir & TellDir calls until we get the matching offset. If flag is not set then go with the normal SeekDir call??? On Fri, 17 Feb 2023 at 00:40,

Hi, Are there any big Dovecot sites (say 50,000-100,000) users on this list? What sort of hardware do you use. What sort of problems do you see? Many thanks, Jonathan.

Hi, In a discussion on the kernel bugzilla (bug 11154) the question of NFS mount options came up. Trond Myklebust seems to consider the default nfsmount options (V3 over TCP, with timeo=7 and retrans=3) to be bad. I don't know yet if that's my problem, but anyway, would you consider changing the defaults to timeo=600 and retrans=2, if only just to match the default util-linux mount

Hello, First, thanks to all the people who helped to license this software under the GPL. This is a very important piece of work for the Free Software in the Enterprise Market. Just a few newbie questions. We've been thinking about implmenting a mail cluster with a Fiber SAN (IBM DS-4000) and OCFSv2 as the storage backend. The information on this volume will essentially be Postfix Maildirs,

The annual Linux Storage, Filesystem and Memory Management Summit for 2013 will be held on April 18th and 19th following the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit at Parc 55 Hotel in San Francisco, CA: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/collaboration-summit https://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/lsfmm-summit We''d therefore like to issue a call for agenda proposals that are

I''m planning on setting up an NFS server for our ESXi hosts and plan on using a virtualized Solaris or Nexenta host to serve ZFS over NFS. The storage I have available is provided by Equallogic boxes over 10Gbe iSCSI. I am trying to figure out the best way to provide both performance and resiliency given the Equallogic provides the redundancy. Since I am hoping to provide a 2TB

Hello, I'm researching the best method of providing about 20 users in a production environment the same functionality as they would have on a Netapp NFS share. The O/S I will be using is CentOS 5 or 6 (max flex on which one) and the hardware is a disk array directly (12 SAS disks 7TB un-configured brand new) attached to a HP 580 G 7. I've done some reading on ZFS on Linux ,fuse-ZFS,

Support for SLES9 seems to be pretty much lacking at the moment. The OCFS2 site [1] states OCFS2 is supported with SP2+. There actually does not exist a SP2+ for SLES9 (or should this rather read "will be supported in SP3" instead?). Latest RPMs that come with SLES9 SP2 are 0.99.14 which has critical known bugs and is unusable. Anybody got to compile current source on SLES9 x86_64?

My head hurts from trying to figure this out for the past several hours . . . I want to determine what provider to use based on a fact (thanks for the suse version fact btw) but I ain''t gettin it: What''s wrong? Am I going down the completely wrong path? Is there a better way? # suse-yum.pp case $suse_repo_name { #sled10-i586: {Package{ provider => rug}} sled10-i586:

Hi. I'm setting up samba on our webserver here, and are experiencing problems connecting to the shares on the computer. When I run this command: smbclient //194.234.215.20/gjestebok top_secret_password trond -W OSLONETT-KONTOR I get this error: added interface ip=194.234.215.20 bcast=194.234.215.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Domain=[OSLONETT-KONTOR] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.0.6] tree connect

Hi list, today, I installed a two node Oracle 10g RAC system on SLES9 SP2 RC2 which shares (via a SAN) a database volume and a quorum (ocr and voting). This volumes are formated with ocfs2 - so far no problem. At the moment I'm stuck with the mounting of these volumes at boot time. The user-guide of ocfs2-tools mentions to add the corresponding lines to fstab - but at the time when fstab

Hi, I installed FreeBSD/amd64 9.1-RELEASE yesterday. I chose to do a manual installation due to the use of ZFS. I checked out stable/9 and recompiled both world and GENERIC kernel. Said kernel and world was installed without any problems. System is still up & running, with uname -a revealing r243825. I then decided to upgrade the root pool to feature flags, SPA version 5000, and was not so

All, We are facing some issues bringing up a DomVT on Xen x86_64(changeset 9267). We created a disk image with dd 8 G in size. We then booted an associated Dom-VT with a CD-ROM and did net-install of the sles-9 OS. This completes successfully. Then, when the system is brought around for a reboot (having changed the boot option from cdrom to disk), the system hangs after the line

Hello, I've been unable to succeed with Samba-Ldap setup on SLES9 until this evening. I thought I had a PAM issue but that was not the case. To cut to the chase, I ran Yast's 'ldap-server' module without any changes as it found the ldap server settings. Once finished I could join the domain from XP Pro which is what I was unable to do. I checked what Yast did and it reset

Hi I need to install a current version of samba on a server running SuSE9.0 :-/ My Idea was to use the binary package provided at samba.org for SLES9 but I do not have the exact libraries that are needed: libtalloc.so.1 is needed by samba-3.2.8-2.1.140 libtdb.so.1 is needed by samba-3.2.8-2.1.140 libwbclient.so.0 is needed by samba-3.2.8-2.1.140 -> these are also
