We run a dovecot mailserver. One of the clients I use is a Mac Laptop. Recently I upgraded from Mountain Lion (10.8) to Mavericks (10.9). Under 10.8 it worked fine. On 10.9 it syncs up when I invoke the client, but after a while stops getting updates. Most of my mail clients are on Linux (thunderbird) or Android (K9) and I admit that several run against my very large INBOX simultaneously. The

Greetings Community! Today we are very excited to announce that Xyratex has purchased Lustre? and its assets from Oracle. We intend for Lustre to remain an open-source, community-driven file system to be promoted by our community organizations. We undertook the acquisition because we realize its importance to the entire community and we want to help ensure that it will continue to deliver for all

I run thunderbird (both 3.x and 5.x) against dovecot 2.x and frequently see delays "loading message". I admit to having a very large mailbox and running multiple imap clients. I've turned on thunderbird debugging, and at least one pattern I see in the log during the delays (maybe a minute long) is the failed protocol message above. These are no the only delays, but are the ones

I''m having trouble actually seeing a PCI device in my VMs. I''ve resolved several of my issues using previous posts and using the VTdHowTo wiki page. I have both VT and VTd BIOS options enabled. I have pciback hiding the devices and xm can list and assign the devices to VMs. I don''t see the PCI devices in my VMs though. I have tried a windows and a Linux vm, without

Hello, I have been reading http://wiki.lustre.org/images/1/1b/Hadoop_wp_v0.4.2.pdf for setting up Hadoop over lustre. Generally in hadoop setup, we have 1 Namenode and various number of datanodes. If I want to setup the same keeping Lustre as backend, in the document it is mentioned that: ".............Our experiments run on cluster with 8 nodes in total, one is mds/namenode, the rest are

Pardon the naive question, but I'm obviously missing something. I'm running the tools in standalone mode on Ubuntu 14.04. All is working well. upsc nicely shows me all the status info from command line. What I'm missing is how to get the GUI display.

I am wondering if any one knows of a way to manage Xyratex disk shelves from CentOS (in particular CentOS 4). More details: Some years ago I installed a NAS unit from Exanet which consists of 2 rebadged IBM x3650 head nodes and a couple of Xyratex disk shelves with a total of 96 TB of raw disk, connected by fibre channel. The operating system is based on CentOS 4.4, but is modified, and runs a

Hello, I've got a program written in S-plus which I think is converted successfully to R with the exception of part of the opt.param function written. In S-plus it is: nlminb(start=x0, obj=negllgamma.f, scale=1, lower=c(0.01,0.0001), upper=c(10,0.9999), gamma=gamma, maxlik=maxlik, y=ldose, s=lse, max.iter = 1000, max.fcal = 1000)$par and so far with R I've got to: optim(par=x0,

Hi, instead of slicing and/or partitioning a drive one can also limit the capacity the drive reports the controller and OS. This is what oem''s do to ensure that drives from different manufacturers and revisions all have the same capacity. Different routes need to be followed for (S)ATA and SCSI/SAS drives, because of different command sets. I''ve no experience with setting the

I have 15x SAS drives in a Dell MD1000 enclosure, attached to an LSI 9200-16e. This has been working well. The system is boothing off of internal drives, on a Dell SAS 6ir. I just tried to add a second storage enclosure, with 15 more SAS drives, and I got a lockup during Loading Kernel. I got the same results, whether I daisy chained the enclosures, or plugged them both directly into the LSI

Hi, thanks for previous help. I have some question about Lustre RPC and the sequence of events that occur during large concurrent write() involving many processes and large data size per process. I understand there is a mechanism of flow control by credits, but I''m a little unclear on how it works in general after reading the "networking & io protocol" white paper. Is

HI All, I have a dilemma and I would appreciate advice 1. Get a good size case, mobo, processor, etc and put 8 hard drives it in and RAID them. (yes an 8 port SATA mobo). Running CentOS. or 2. Get an eSATA enclosure that has room for 8 or 10 drives and just connect it to box? I know that RAID is not a full proof backup, but I am looking for a solution to store all of my data, projects, music,

We are seeing some disturbing (probably due to our ignorance) behavior from lustre 1.6.3 right now. We have 8 OSSs with 3 OSTs per OSS (24 physical LUNs). We just created a brand new lustre file system across this configuration using the default mkfs.lustre formatting options. We have this file system mounted across 400 clients. At the moment, we have 63 IOzone threads running

Whamcloud and EMC are jointly investigating how to be able to contribute the Lustre client code into the upstream Linux kernel. As a prerequisite to this, EMC is working to clean up the Lustre client code to better match the kernel coding style, and one of the anticipated major obstacles to upstream kernel submission is the heavy use of code abstraction via libcfs for portability to other

I''m trying to do nested XEN to give some of my colleagues a play area to work in, and it seems to work - but not quite. I can build the nested environment (using OVM, and I have to step back to OVM3.2.2 to allow me to do PCI passthrough), but as soon as I start up a VM with a phys device passed through, the first layer loses all connectivity to the SAN. Setup: * 2 UCS

Hello, I have a troubling issue with random file corruption using either lustre 1.8.6 (internal Cray lustre) and lustre 2.1 (sonexion - produced by xyratex). Randomly, our users will come across an issue with files either having 0 size, or being corrupted. The 0 size files are usually ascii files (which are normally created with simple cat and awk statements, serially), while the corrupted
