Hi, We have recently upgraded our gluster to 3.2.5 and have encountered the following error. Gluster seems somehow confused about one of the files it should be serving up, specifically /projects/philex/PE/2010/Oct18/arch07/BalbacFull_250_200_03Mar_3.png If I go to that directory and simply do an ls *.png I get ls: BalbacFull_250_200_03Mar_3.png: Structure needs cleaning (along with a listing

Hi all! What's the best way to stop the CLIENT process for Gluster? We have dual systems, where the Gluster servers also act as clients, so both, glusterd and glusterfsd are running on the system. Stopping the server app. works via "/etc/init.d/glusterd stop" but the client is stopped how? I need to unmount the filesystem from the server in order to do a fsck on the ext4 volume;

Hi, I'm looking for common practices for backing up user data to disk. My user data is all in /home. I'm also interested in what folks are doing for things backing up os and configs. Any pointers on setting up rsync, cpio, etc would be appreciated. Pointers to good how-to's especially welcome. Currently we're using Arkeia Network Backup (commercial product with which I am

OK - finished some tests over tcp and ironed out a lot of problems. rdma is next; should be snap now.... [I must admit that this is my 1st foray into the land of IB, so some of the following may be obvious to a non-naive admin..] except that while I can create and start the volume with rdma as transport: ================================== root at pbs3:~ 622 $ gluster volume info glrdma

I need to downgrade a system from Centos x4.2 to v3.6 (x86) due to performance problems with Arkeia Network Backup and AIT-4 tape drives. The backup database is stored on a v4.2 created ext3 partition. When accessing this partition after the downgrade, Centos complains on boot that fsck.ext3: Filesystem has unsupported feature(s) (/dev/sda5) *fsck: Get a newer version of e2fsck! [fail] If I

I am a long time FreeBSD user and have been using dump/restore for many years for disk to disk backups. Now I am getting more and more into FC4 and CentOS, but am I stuck on only using tar/star for backups? Tar in its various forms are fine for some items, like home directories, but dump and restore in FreeBSD also gave me the possibility of easily doing a bare metal restore. What are my

Hey Guys, I''m having trouble with getting my draggables to go over the top of other items on my page. For instance, if I drag an icon from ''lower'' in the page to a ''higher'' point then it slides underneath it visually. I have set the z-index to a very high number and that doesn''t seem to have any effect. Are there other things I need to

Hello gluster-verse! I'm about to see if GlusterFS can handle a large amount of clients, this was not at all in plans when we initially selected and setup our current configuration. What sort of experience do you (the collective "you" as in y'all) have with a large client to storage brick server ratio? (~1330:1) Where do you see things going awnry? Most of this will be reads

Hi all, I am having problems with painfully slow directory listings on a freshly created replicated volume. The configuration is as follows: 2 nodes with 3 replicated drives each. The total volume capacity is 5.6T. We would like to expand the storage capacity much more, but first we need to figure this problem out. Soon after loading up about 100 MB of small files (about 300kb each), the

Hi there, been using NUT for ages and recently upgraded to a new server; while I'm waiting for a USB->Serial adapter for Solaris to arrive, I thought I'd play with the newhidups, as the APC UPS I have has a USB port and the new server doesn't have a serial port.... I've got Solaris 10 & newhidups working with the ugen driver up to a point, and that is a read

Hi, I'm currently using EMA package to make clustering and heatmaps. The online doc concerning the package gives the following example code: data(marty) c<-clustering(marty, metric="pearson", method="ward") clustering.plot(c, title="Hierarchical Clustering\nPearson-Ward") which is working perfectly, However, when I'm changing the method to

A bit off topic, but having trouble again with the 64-bit libs when trying to compile this short fortran code to build a shared object. Can anyone offer an explaination of what is meant by the relocation bit, and how to fix it? I've tried the -fPIC, but apparently I either didn't have it in the right place or it does not work. Be glad to take this offline if somone could help me.

Hey Guys, I know this isn''t specific to scriptaculous libraries but it''s something that I''m exploring as I use the ajax functions in prototype. My application server is not rails but java and I was thinking of returning a javascript array in the ajax response. When I get back my response is it, of course, text and I''m not sure how best to convert it into

I know that the prototype library was paired with Rails but I''m curious if anyone has used the ajax part (of the libraries) with java servlets? If so could you please point me to some examples or documentation. Cheers, Marty

Hey Guys, I''ve just encountered this error in Firefox will I pulled the latest scriptaculous rc into project. Sadly, I don''t have a linkable page for you to look over at the point. My question is what is this error exactly? My code before this never got it but now it does. My few searches suggest it''s the browsers way of keeping infinite loops from happening

Howdy, are any of the Gluster folks going to SC10 next week? Mike

We're going to replace an older Solaris7/Netbackup/TapeRobot server with a new Centos box using backup-to-disk-to-tape (probably using Arkeia). The specs are up in the air, but generally: - CentOS/RHEL friendly (3Ware SATA? SCSI?) - 2U/3U/4U-ish form factor - hotswap RAID5 - dual PS, hotswap a plus - USB2.0 port(s) (*) To give you an idea of where I'm starting to look, take a gander at

I am at my final stages of switching my file server from my ageing Novell Netware 5.0 to Linux Suse SLE9. All my workstations are WinXP and Win2000 so I am relying on samba for file sharing. My last stage to resolve is having a backup strategy for the server. I already have a SCSI HP Dat drive I can install in the server but need some easy to use software to back my files. It would need to be able

GlusterFS newbie (less than a week) here. Running GlusterFS 3.2.6 servers on Dell PE2900 systems with four 3.16 GHz Xeon cores and 16 GB memory under CentOS 5.8. For this test, I have a distributed volume of one brick only, so no replication. I have made performance measurements with both dd and Bonnie++, and they confirm each other; here I report only the dd numbers (using bs=1024k). File
