similar to: to lvm or not to lvm - why/when to use lvm

Hi, one more LVM thing: on one server some LVM stores are physically removed but still there are some informatione somwher spread adcross teh server. e.g. if I do a vgdisplay or pvcreat I get an error regarding that old storage: /dev/raid_10/lvol0: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 14000515383296: Eingabe-/Ausgabefehler How can I remove all information? Thanks for any hint. Regards . G?tz

Hi, I'd like to know what would be the best way to remove an iscsi lvm storage from a server. (removing all reference to that storage etc.) The storage in question will be reset and reformated and used on a different server; so no LVM export is needed. Do I have to do lvremove ..., vgremove ..., pvremove ... and do an iscsiadm -m node -T ... -p ... -u and iscsiadm -m node -o delete -T ...

Hi, I do have an iscsi storage with two raidsets. I'm logged in to the target and get two devices: /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc. After formatting the devices with ext4 I realised, that I had used a wrong label, so I tried to relabel the devices. But now I'm confused: doing a e2label /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc returns always the same label name for both devices. so I did "e2label /dev/sdb

Hi, some time ago I removed some physical disks from a server and now I'm still getting dmesg messages like: sd 0:2:2:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x00040001 end_request: I/O error, dev sdc, sector 0 And all lvm tools still grumbel about that disks too: /dev/sdb: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Eingabe-/Ausgabefehler /dev/sdb: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 1746969493504:

Hi, we still run dovecot 1.2.17 and upgrading is not planed for some time. But I'm asked to install a sieve system to be used with SOGo soon. What do I have to install / configure? Is installing/configuring the dovecot-sieve-0.1.19 and dovecot-managesieve-0.11.13 enough? We still use mostly the default settings for imaps/pop3s. And of course configure SOGo. Thanks for any feedback.

Hi, we still have our solid rock dovecot 1.0.7 Redhat el 5.x up and running. We don't need much magic or special setups. However we'd like to think what might be the next step in upgrading our setup. Each user one mbox mailbox. About 500 imap/pop3 accounts, 400GB data. First of all: to what version is a good step from 1.0? Can we get a rpm from e.g. atrpms repository? Dose anyone has

Hi, may be somewon has a working solution and information on that: I installed the most recent mysql community on a server and do get a lot of "errno: 24 - Too many open files". There are suggestions to increase the open_files_limit, change/add that to /etc/security/limits.conf and modify the systemd script by hand. Depending on how you start mysql (restart, or at systemboot time

Hi, I do a tgz-backup some maildir-folders with n*1000 off files and a lot of GB in storage. The backuped maildirs are removed after the tar. My assumption was, that the free diskspace should be bigger after that, but from what I get with df, it looks like I'm loosing space. Currently the tgz is saved on the same disk/mountpoint. Any hint, why removing the maildirs dont free diskspace as

Hi, it is possible to create and setup/format volumes on a iscsi storage on one server and than disconnect and attache the storage to an other server. AFAIK on the 'new' server I do have to launch an LVM-scan command ... after login to the iscsi target. But which LVM-command and syntax was it? Thanks for any hint! :) /G?tz -- G?tz Reinicke IT-Koordinator Tel. +49 7141 969 420 Fax

Hi, we have a storageserver (Centos 6.4) with a dualport Intel 10G X520-2 Adapter. A QSan P600Q-D316 Storage is configured with 8*SATA Drives raid 5 for test, connected trought a Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect 10G Switch. I formated the storage with ext4 defaults, one volume and got r/w rates about 10MB/s some up to 40MB/s .... VERY POOR.... So we returned the storage to our dealer

Hi, I have a samba 3.6 PDC with ldap backend. Now I'd like to add an other storage samba server which uses the same home directory structure as the PDC. I have configured the new server using winbind, so the users can log in with the password stored in ldap. But the home directory stored in ldap is not used; the new server searches in /home/UID or /home/DOMAIN/uid. Any hints? Or

Hi, it's time to start our redundant dhcp server setup and I found some suggestions and tutorials. But all setups I found use either static or nonstatic ip adress management. For the static setup I'd setup two servers and copy the configfile from the 'master' to the secondary server and do a dhcpd restart. For the nonstatic I have to setup pool and failover peer configurations

Gotz, This is due to systemd, it overrules your settings. Add a file to systemd config fixes it: [root at mysql2 ~]# cat /etc/systemd/system/mariadb.service.d/limits.conf [Service] LimitNOFILE=10000 LimitMEMLOCK=10000 On Wed, Apr 29, 2015 at 8:31 AM, G?tz Reinicke - IT Koordinator < goetz.reinicke at filmakademie.de> wrote: > Hi, > > may be somewon has a working solution and

Hi, I do have two DNS servers running bind 9.7.3. One master, one slave. If I add/update a record on the master, it takes up to more or less 20 hours until that change is transferred to the slave. That is a long time for me :-) May be I got some settings wrong which would sync much faster ... ? What could be wrong? What might I check? Thanks for any suggestion and hint! Regards . G?tz --
