Hi, Has anyone even seen this before - an NFS mount through Gluster that gets the filesystem size wrong and is otherwise garbled and dangerous? Is there a way within Gluster to fix it, or is the lesson that Gluster's NFS sometimes can't be relied on? What have the experiences been running an external NFS daemon with Gluster? Is that fairly straightforward? Might like to get the

Hi, We've got a fresh CentOS 5.4 box, and the only glitch so far is that /etc/init.d/smb doesn't start smbd. It claims it does - shows "[ok]" - but only nmbd ends up running. Even setting a higher debugging level in the smbd flags, nothing logs or shows on the console as to why smbd is immediatly quitting. To make it stranger, doing this works fine: . /etc/init.d/functions

Is there a way internal to a KVM VM to know which host it's running on? It could send a command via ssh to virsh on a host, and learn from that whether the host currently has it running. But is there something within the VM itself which will reveal this? Thanks, Whit

Hi, Trying to follow the recipe at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Cacti_on_CentOS_4.x Which has a bit of an update for 5.x, but no joy. Anyone know what this from Cacti should suggest? Data Query Debug Information + Running data query [9]. + Found type = '6 '[script query]. + Found data query XML file at '/var/www/cacti/resource/script_server/host_cpu.xml' + XML file parsed

Hi, Netperf tells me that a KVM VM using a bridged connection to a system across the Gigabit LAN sees on average about 1/10th of the bandwidth the host sees. This is on very lightly loaded hosts, although with multiple low-use VMs. I've tried adjusting the CPU throttling after seeing that mentioned as a possible factor in slowing down a bridge, but it has not much if any effect here. Is

I have a single storage server which exports /data to number of clients. Is it ok to access the data on the storage server directly (ie not via glusterfs mount) ? (I know this causes problems when there are multiple servers ). This would simplify some configurations. Nick

Hi, We've got a system where staff use Samba mounts on their Windows desktops to drop files into a Linux directory for further processing. Some of those files are large, and take time for the file copy across Samba to complete. The problem is that looking at the directory from the Linux side, to see if there are new files to process, the directory listing for the files-copied-across-by-Samba

Figured I'd test qemu-kvm-1.0.1 and libvirt-0.9.12, but the result after default compiles is: root at black:/usr/local/sbin# ./libvirtd 2012-06-12 19:53:41.894+0000: 6076: info : libvirt version: 0.9.12 2012-06-12 19:53:41.894+0000: 6076: warning : ebiptablesDriverInit:4084 : Could not find 'ebtables' executable 2012-06-12 19:53:42.675+0000: 6076: error : qemuCapsComputeCmdFlags:1209

All, We are in the process of determining a virtualized infrastructure and wanted to hear from current users of Gluster and VMWare. What we were looking to setup was an HA ESXi cluster (2 heads) with gluster backend (4 bricks to start, replicated/distributed), all backend connectivity would be 10Gbe. Mainly the storage would be for VM images but may include NAS files later. So our

Hi, Did something dumb - had two VM hosts with DRBD mirroring of VMs on the same UPS, which failed and crashed them both. While I've got VMs running now on both, "virsh list" and "virsh start" and so on are just hanging. I'm not seeing it log anything in these instances - just hanging. Both systems are Ubuntu 10.10, one with the stock libvirtd 0.8.3 and one with

Hi all, I'm very happy to see the release of 3.3.0. One of the features I was waiting for are striped replicated volumes. We plan to store KVM images (from a OpenStack installation) on it. I read through the docs and found the following phrase: "In this release, configuration of this volume type is supported only for Map Reduce workloads." What does that mean exactly? Hopefully not,

Hi, I've been through a long discussion of this on the CentOS list, where people are quite helpful, yet we've gotten nowhere with it. With smbd Version 3.0.33-3.14.el5 on two different CentOS 5.4 64-bit boxes, "/etc/init.d/smb start" reports OK for both nmbd and smbd, but an instant later smbd stops running, with no errors reported - just fails, no matter what logging level is

What's the consensus? Should winbind even be considered for production use? Looking back through the archives of the Samba lists, there's a lot of doubt about it. Where people have had problems, there are more often than not no solutions given. When I look at the man page in 3.0.28, there are litterally blank spots awaiting completion, and lack of documentation of sometimes-essential

i´ve been searching for a load balance solution since a month ago... what i can say is that it simply doesn´t work. I was unable to find one guy that did it with sucess. When "load balance" is the subject of the message on the list, the message is simply ignored. So... if it doesn´t work... why LARTC don´t delete it from the HOW TO and answer us with some "it simply doesn´t

hi! http://download.gluster.com/pub/gluster/glusterfs/3.2/3.2.1/Ubuntu/glusterfs_3.2.1-1_amd64.deb Which version of Ubuntu was it built for? Maybe it can be used for any version of it? Are the build script available for download? Thank you, tamas

Hi, Not sure if this is the right mailing list, but... I have a Linux VM (CentOS 5.4) VM. ?I cloned it with virt-clone, but the clone isn't bootable. ?When I attempt to boot it says: ? Booting from hard diskBoot failed: not a bootable diskFATAL: No bootable device The clone was made with the following command: virt-clone -o centos -n centosclone -f /path/to/new/image.img I've attempted it

I have two internet lines and I want to do equal cost loadbalancing on the two uplinks to the internet. This is what I do: ip route add 200.200.200.0/24 dev eth2 table 200 ip route add default via 200.200.200.254 dev eth2 table 200 ip route add 100.100.100.0/24 dev eth1 table 100 ip route add default via 100.100.100.254 dev eth1 table 100 ip route add 200.200.200.0/24 src 200.200.200.1 dev eth2

Okay, just installed libvirt from today's git on two Ubuntu systems. The first one went fine (except for continuation of the problem that virsh and virt-manager cannot connect to 0.8.3 systems that's been there in the 0.9.x libvirts) ... but on the second, after install, "virsh list --all" presents nothing. And: # virsh define tu1004.xml error: Failed to define domain from

I'm trying to justify a GlusterFS storage system for my technology development group and I want to get some clarification on something that I can't seem to figure out architecture wise... My storage system will be rather large. Significant fraction of a petabyte and will require scaling in size for at least one decade. from what I understand GlusterFS achieves redundancy through

Hi all, I am trying to run a web-based PHP application on a CentOS 5 32-bit machine that requires me to upload large files. The machine also happens to have little RAM (256MB). I have no problem setting my upload limit ( upload_max_filesize ) to 1 GB but for some reason 2 GB or above seems to be no go. Would anybody know why? Could it be one of the many 32-bit vs 64-bit issues? Thanks. Boris.
