I'm sure many are running ext4 FS's in production, but just want to be re-assured that there are not currently any major issues before starting a new project that looks like it will be using ext4. I've previously been using xfs but the software for this project requires ext3/ext4. I'm always very cautious before jumping onto a new FS, (new in the sense it is officially supported

I have a friend traveling overseas. I want to allow him to call a number which will give him a busy signal (so no charge), but will then send me an email that he has called. I know how to use a call file to trigger a call (I created a callback system for myself when I traveled overseas a few months ago), but I don't know how to trigger an email. All I want is a simple message like

I am trying to install Centos 7 on a couple 4TB drives with software raid. In the Supermicro bios I set UEFI/BIOS boot mode to legacy. I am using the Centos 7 minimal install ISO flashed to a USB thumb drive. So I do custom drive layout something like this using sda and sdb. Create /boot as 512 MB XFS raid1 array. Create SWAP as 32 GB SWAP raid1 array. Create / on 3.xxx TB XFS raid1 array.

Hello all, I have a CentOS 5.7 machine hosting a 16 TB XFS partition used to house backups. The backups are run via rsync/rsnapshot and are large in terms of the number of files: over 10 million each. Now the machine is not particularly powerful: it is 64-bit machine, dual core CPU, 3 GB RAM. So perhaps this is a factor in why I am having the following problem: once in awhile that XFS partition

Hi I plan to set up a big file server, something like motherboard with 4 ide ports and an additional 4 ide daughter card, a PIV proc and 512 or 1024 MB ram, a 100 or 1000 MB NIC, with 6 or 7 200 GB ide HDDs in a sigle box. I don't need lightning performance, just disk space. Of course this would be served by some linux os and samba questions (relative to samba configuration and behaviour) :

I plan to upgrade an existing C7 computer which currently has one 256 GB SSD to use mdadmin software RAID1 after adding two 4 TB M2. SSDs, the rest of the system remaining the same. The system also has one additional internal and one external harddisk but these should not be touched. The system will continue to run C7. If I remember correctly, the existing SSD does not use a M2. slot so they

I was just given a Dell R720xd with 160 GB memory and 12x 900 GB drives that I plan to deploy as my home mail/file/backup server to replace an aging Supermicro server running CentOS 7. Yeah, it's gross overkill for that and I expect to tuck most of the drives away for spares. How should I RAID and partition this beast for maximum reliability? My current C7 system is using 1 TB of 2 TB

Hi, This might be a silly question: which would be the best inode ratio for a 5 Tb filesystem dedicated to Maildir++ storage? I use ubuntu server, which has a preconfigured setting for mkfs.ext4 called "news" with inode_ratio = 4096, and after formating the fs with that setting and then with the defautl setting I see this difference of space (wasted space, but more inodes): 4328633696

I wrote into the list a few days ago about XFS Group Quotas not working in Samba 3.0.21c and 3.0.22. I have confirmed that if I uninstall 3.0.22 and reinstall 3.0.13, when I change an XFS group quota on Linux and mount a share that belongs to that group, if I look at the "Properties" for that share in Windows, Windows tells me that the "size" of the share is equal to the

Hi all, I created a OCFS2 volume with a block size of 4kB and a clustersize of 4kB. After I mounted the volume the first time there have been already over 600 MB in use. Then I started to copy a directory with a overall size of 1784 MB(measured on an XFS with "du"). After an hour about 4 GB(!) have been used on the OCFS2 volume so I stopped the copy. The files I copied are mostly

[merging] The HBA the drives are attached to has no configuration that I?m aware of. We would have had to accidentally change 23 of them ?

Hello, I am experiencing a strange problem when writing (capturing) DPX video files to a Linux/Samba share. Basically, I'm seeing seeing a single smbd process go from 9 percent CPU utilization to 100 percent CPU utilization over the course of about 40 minutes. When smbd reaches 100 percent, the capture stops (drops frames). I have tested this with three different filesystem formats

I'm setting up this huge RAID 6 box. I've always thought of hot spares, but I'm reading things that are comparing RAID 5 with a hot spare to RAID 6, implying that the latter doesn't need one. I *certainly* have enough drives to spare in this RAID box: 42 of 'em, so two questions: should I assign one or more hot spares, and, if so, how many? mark

Hi all Have an installation that is having problems using samba 2.2.5 on AIX 5.1 When I try to use the pdbedit command I get the following What I ultimately want to do is have samba expire and force the users to change their passwords periodically. I realize that it looks like I am missing a lib here but which one and where do I get it. The company I work for is strict on
