I run a decent amount of 3ware hardware, all under centos-4. There seems to be some sort of fundamental disagreement between ext3 and 3ware's hardware RAID5 mode that trashes write performance. As a representative example, one current setup is 2 9550SX-12 boards in hardware RAID5 mode (256KB stripe size) with a software RAID0 stripe on top (also 256KB chunks). bonnie++ results look

I'm trying to setup a simple NFSv4 mount between two x86_64 hosts. On the server, I have this in /etc/exports: /export $CLIENT(ro,fsid=0) /export/qb3 $CLIENT(rw,nohide) ON $CLIENT, I mount via: mount -t nfs4 $SERVER:/qb3 /usr/local/sge62/qb3 However: $ touch /usr/local/sge62/qb3/foo touch: cannot touch `/usr/local/sge62/qb3/foo': Read-only file system I'd really

Hi List, Any idea for remote encrypted backup system? files must be encrypted on local side ? duplicity? any better ideas? -- Eero

I've been having no end of issues with a 3ware 9650SE-24M8 in a server that's coming on a year old. I've got 24 WDC WD5001ABYS drives (500GB) hooked to it, running as a single RAID6 w/ a hot spare. These issues boil down to the card periodically throwing errors like the following: sd 1:0:0:0: WARNING: (0x06:0x002C): Command (0x8a) timed out, resetting card. Usually when this

Hello everybody. I have a problem setting up gluster failover funcionality. Based on manual i setup ucarp which is working well ( tested with ping/ssh etc ) But when i use virtual address for gluster volume mount and i turn off one of nodes machine/gluster will freeze until node is back online. My virtual ip is 3.200 and machine real ip is 3.233 and 3.5. In gluster log i can see: [2011-06-06

Hello all, I'm in the middle of the migration of an old web-server to a new CentOS. Let me explain how things work now, I have a group of devs that use the same user to work on the sites, this have a problem because we never know who alter witch file. Most of the files on the old web-server are owned like devuser:apache and in the new one I setup LDAP-Auth to get the real users but the

We are presently looking into alternative backup strategies for our networked servers and are considering Bacula. Does anyone have any opinions on this application, good and bad, to share? Further, is there a CentOS4 specific rpm build available for this in a yum repository (I note that CentOS4 tags have been added to the Bacula source tree)? Regards, Jim -- *** e-mail is not a

Is anyone using RAID6 in production? In moving from hardware RAID on my dual 3ware 7500-8 based systems to md, I decided I'd like to go with RAID6 (since md is less tolerant of marginal drives than is 3ware). I did some benchmarking and was getting decent speeds with a 128KiB chunksize. So the next step was failure testing. First, I fired off memtest.sh as found at

I'm having particular issues running Veritas in my Windows environment. The agent just seems to baulk on some servers. I've looked into backup solutions running on Linux before but there doesn't seem to be much. Is anyone familiar with something that has Windows agents and yet managed by Linux? <<JAV>> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

Back in the day (read: before the latest firefox update), I used to be able to ssh to a remote box, run 'firefox -local', and have that box fire up its own firefox session even if I was running firefox on the system from I which I sshed. Those days seem to be gone. No matter what I try, if I've got firefox running on my local desktop, the remote firefox command just fires off

I've got an i386 server running centos 4.2 with 3 3ware controllers in it -- an 8006-2 for the system disks and 2 7500-8s. On the 7500s, I'm running an all software RAID50. This morning I came in to find the system hung. Turns out a disk went overnight on one of the 7500s, and rather than a graceful failover I got this: Jan 6 01:03:58 $SERVER kernel: 3w-xxxx: scsi2: Command

We have a server with about 6x750Gb SATA drives setup on a hardware RAID controller. We created hardware RAID 5 on these 6x750GB HDDs. The effective size after RAID 5 implementation is 3.4TB. This server we want to use it as a data backup server. Here is the problem we are stuck with, when we use fdisk -l, we can see the drive specs and its size as 3.4TB. But when we want to create two different

That way lies madness. No, where lies madness is in the self-centred way in which some people make demands of others to alter innocuous behaviour so that the data requirements of

Is there a way in a kickstart install to affect the order in which modules get loaded? I want to load 3w-xxxx before 3w-9xxx so that my OS mirror drives take their proper place as sda and sdb, but centos-4 wants to load 3x-9xxx first, making my (unbootable) big arrays the first two drives. In this configuration, it seems that even trying to install grub to /dev/sdc fails. Ideas? Thanks.

Until the Escalade 9500S series matures, I've been recommending the following: 3Ware Escalade 7506/8506 for RAID-10. 3Ware Escalade 7506/8506 for RAID-5 when it is largely a

I've got a CentOS 6 machine that's slated to go into production providing some web and development-repository services. Part of the environment is gitweb, which works as expected with one glitch: SELinux doesn't allow gitweb.cgi to query sssd to display who owns the repositories. The audit log entries are pretty straightforward, e.g., type=AVC msg=audit(XXXXXXXXXXXX): avc:

My CentOS box is my server for data and some services, including nfs shares. On my laptop I have folderviews displaying two directories on the server, via nfs mounts. An fstab line mounts each, such as: 192.168.0.40:/home /mnt/borg2_home nfs nosuid,exec,rw,bg,soft,intr 0 0 From the folderview I have no problem accessing the files and directories. Now comes the problem. I use kontact, with

Hi, I have alot of kickstart and scripting going on as I provision lots of machines, and every now and then I run into a pesky machine or three that's still got that Adeptec zero-channel RAID card sitting on the board. Normally I like to rip it our and throw something more robust in, but if it's a cache machine or whatever, I leave it in. It makes my kickstart file useless until I
