Wow, it takes a really long time to make a 2TB ext2fs. Are there better-than-default options that could be used for a large filesystem? mke2fs 1.34 (25-Jul-2003) Filesystem label= OS type: Linux Block size=4096 (log=2) Fragment size=4096 (log=2) 244203520 inodes, 488382016 blocks 24419100 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user First data block=0 14905 block groups 32768 blocks per group,

Hi, I've set up a Samba server accessed by NTWS 4. When I do a "ps aux" on the server, i can see a line for each user connected with a "smbd -D" command. The owners of these commands are mostly root but sometimes the users themselves. How to force the owner of the command in order to be available to get a list of connected users with an "ps aux" and an

Hi, I've a huge problem with Samba. It's the PDC of the school LAN. Clients are NTWS 4. Samba has been up and running for 11 days and now, since 2 days, force me to reboot the whole server everyday to work. I explain : when doing an "ps aux" or "smbstatus", i saw A LOT of "smbd -D" started for the same user 10 times in about 2 minutes. When I try to kill

Hi, I want to use an ext3 Partition (~1TB) for Mail Storage, this means tons of small files. Has anyone recommendations about blocksize, inodes, etc. for mkfs.ext3 ?

Hi! I have printers, files shared to all windoze platforms in my group. Now I want to also access the samba box via a VPN. So configuration: NT----PPTP---NT/RAS-----Linux 7 Any experience with this type of config? Quick test shows the samba host but when I try to access it the network path is not found. Thanks! ++Dirk

Hi, I've users connecting to a samba server via WinNTWS 4.0 (home directories are /home/%u) While workstations have both Windows and Linux installed, I want to allow users to connect to their /home directory when logging into Linux. Do you think it's better to automount the folders using an NFS mount or to use an SMBFS mount ? What are advantages and drawbacks of each methods ?

I am running zfs-fuse on an Ubuntu 10.04 box. I have a dual mirrored pool: mirror sdd sde mirror sdf sdg Recently the device names shifted on my box and the devices are now sdc sdd sde and sdf. The pool is of course very unhappy about the mirrors are no longer matched up and one device is "missing". What is the proper procedure to deal with this? -brian -- This message posted from

Ok, it looks like the same problem. @Amar, this fix is supposed to be in 4.0.1. Is it possible to regenerate the volfiles to fix this?

Hi Nithya, I'm on Gluster 4.0.1. I don't think the bricks were smaller before - if they were, maybe 20GB because Linode's minimum is 20GB, then I extended them to 25GB, resized with resize2fs as instructed, and rebooted many times over since. Yet, gluster refuses to see the full disk size. Here's the status detail output: gluster volume status dev_apkmirror_data detail Status

Thank you all for your answers. One told me that in order to allow the students to upload/download from their home directories, FTP or something like that is a simple and easy choice. As domain logon and roaming profil is not needed and FTP can be logged, I'll use this. Another question for our brillants candidates : How to batch the creation of a Samba account ?

All of our Kafka clusters are fairly write-heavy. The cluster in question is our second-heaviest ? we haven?t yet upgraded the heaviest, due to the issues we?ve been experiencing in this one.

Hi, I have a 3-brick replicate volume, but for some reason I can't get it to expand to the size of the bricks. The bricks are 25GB, but even after multiple gluster restarts and remounts, the volume is only about 8GB. I believed I could always extend the bricks (we're using Linode block storage, which allows extending block devices after they're created), and gluster would see the

I'm currently working with a testing system that involves running mkfs.ext3 on some pretty large devices on a regular basis. This is getting fairly painful, and I was wondering if there was some way to speed this up. Understood that the end result might be a filesystem that has less of a safety factor (say, fewer superblock backups) but the tradeoff might be worth it in this case. David

I just remembered that I didn't run https://docs.gluster.org/en/v3/Upgrade-Guide/op_version/ for this test volume/box like I did for the main production gluster, and one of these ops - either heal or the op-version, resolved the issue.
