Dovecot 1.0RC15 running on Fedora Core 5 kernel 2.6.18-1.2257.fc5smp. A SLES10 server (kernel 2.6.16.21-0.8-smp) has the home directories on an ext3 partition mounted with options (rw,acl,user_xattr,usrquota) which is then exposed as an NFS mount with server side options (rw,no_root_squash,no_acl,async). The home directories include Maildirs to which postfix delivers. The Fedora Core 5

Hi, I have an NFS storage system and want to run jpegoptim on several GB's of jpeg images and I'm wondering what the best approach is. Is it ok to run this operation on the Server itself while the clients have it mounted or will this lead to problems like e.g. the dreaded "stale filehandle"? Regards, Dennis

Hi all, I currently use puppet and cacti, and am in need of an alerting system for systems/services that are down. Alerts through cacti are a major pain, so I have begun looking at a small and simple tool called monit. Monit, however, seems to be doing a lot of things that puppet is already doing for me (such as checking if services are running and starting them if they aren''t, etc), so

Has anyone successfully puppetized BigIP (F5)? I''m specifically trying to figure out a path in making our BigIP instances be under puppet so all the VIPs, pools, profiles, etc. are all under puppet control. My requirements are probably going to be fulfilled even with just uploading a rules file if a delta''s detected. The main issue I have now is figuring out when to reload the

I have this configuration: class monit { # Installing packages. package { "monit": ensure => latest; } file { "/etc/default/monit": owner => "root", group => "root", mode => "0644", source => "puppet:///monit/etc/default/monit", } file { "/etc/monit/monitrc": owner => "root", group =>

Alright, I have googles and read through the docs on monit I get this error when adding -v starting monit monit: Cannot connect to the monit daemon. Did you start it with http support? monit: Cannot connect to the monit daemon. Did you start it with http support?

I started emailing monit mailing list because I started getting this problem where I couldn''t start backgroundrb with monit anymore, thinking it was a monit problem. However, I back tracked a bit since I had added code to my project, and monit was able to start backgroundrb again. I seem to have zeroed in on the problem. I''m not sure where the problem lies - maybe monit or

Might there be anything CentOS related on why I cannot access the Monit GUI system on http://box-running-monit.com:2812 ? I am using a very basic /etc/monit.conf config, but I cannot get it serve the web page on my box The service start and stops fine (e.g. "/etc/init.d/monit start"), and I have it set to listen to port 2812 in the "/etc/monit.conf file" (so far, kept the

Stale file handles won't happen if the file modified time stamp

getting lots of stale nfs filehandle errors we have 4 nodes in our cluster, clients nfs mount the volume from any node in a round-robin it appears that one node has gone bad. the clients mounting that node can't see the files that the others can see. ls -l gives rubbish for the metadata, and get lots of these lines in the nfs.log: [2011-02-16 15:33:32.538756] I

Has anybody here tried the "Monit" utility (http://mmonit.com/monit/)? I need to set up some kind of "watchdog" functionality for a custom service otherwise started via init (i.e. via a script in /etc/init.d + rc*.d links managed by chkconfig) and it seems like this system may give me nearly what I want. However, something that concerns me about it, is that it appears to

Monit 4.9, Mongrel 1.0.1, Rails 1.2.6, Mac OS X 10.4.11 (PPC) I don''t know whether this is a mongrel issue or a monit issue. I''m trying to poke my way around a system set up by someone else. I have no more experience w/ mongrel that local Rails dev at this point, and a conceptual understanding of how monit is working. I have the Deploying Rails beta book, and I''m

Hi everyone, I''m trying to use monit to monitor a backgroundrb process (that gets killed occasionally), but I cant seem to seem the start or stop commands to work (i simply get ''execution failed'') - though they do work fine from the command prompt. I''m not doing anything particularly sophisticated: check process backgroundrb_11006 with pidfile

Hi all, I''d got the impression that puppet didn''t care about ordering - ie. the ordering of imports and includes related to calling them in the manifest. Lately I''ve had big trouble getting puppet to accept that I require some resource that I _have_ defined elsewhere in the manifest. To explain it, here is a simplified example: site.pp: -------- import
