Hm. I may have missed something, but I've got the impression we are a
second round through this: you just slap the LVM infrastructure over
current data, it will overwrite what it needs to and mark the rest as
free space. It just replaces what was before on disk.


Sounds good.
However I may go a different route. I have a not installed 2T WD-Black SN770 NVMe 
SSD, format 2280. This Asus prime z370-A II modo has two M2 sockets which the docs 
say both can use a 2280, but they operate differently w/o really explaining the 
difference. The one in the middle of the board, the A socket 2_2 looks like I have 
to pull the CPU and its radiator to be able to really get to it, and actually only 
shows how to install in the lower 2_1 socket which also has a heat sinking cover 
that must be removed & reinstalled. Is this then the preferred location, or is 
there an advantage to the other socket nearer the CPU?.


This is a different question entirely.




It /might/ warn you that you're about overwriting potentially valuable
data, I don't remember.


By my recollection, LVM operations DO NOT WARN. I might be wrong, but don't 
recommend the alternative. Use with care.



But before I do yet another reinstall, 24th or so. two of the sata 2t's are 
installed, and I'm tempted to rsych the raid to one of them to see if 
reassigning /home to a copy of /home does away with this horrible lag I'm 
wanting to blame on the raid10.


Unless, of course, the data is sensitive: in that case you want to zero
(or better: random) it.

Cheers


Thank you.

They are empty except for the ext4 install and if pvcreate just slams the new format regardless, I'll rsync the 2T /home back to the raid10, and unplug that controller before I put the install dvd in. I also have another sata controller, this one with all 16 ports installed.> 
And I just looked at tht pair, and acc gparted they have both been pvcreated, so I'll leave then alone and steal the dvd cable, puttin a new 2T drive if I can rig power to it.

This mobo also claims to be able to do the intel version of a raid on its own 
sata ports.  Does anyone here have experience doing that?


Mixing hardware RAID with either LVM (or ZFS) has no benefit that I know of. 
ZFS guidance recommends against it. I suggest picking any one method to create 
your /home, carrying it through, and if you don't like the result, redo it with 
another. I've used LVM for more than 25 years on HP-UX and Linux with good 
results. I switched a few years back to ZFS for new installs, also with good 
results. Both are reliable, expandable, and easy to manage, albeit with 
learning curves. I haven't used hardware raid because the software ones are 
quite good enough, and they also have their learning curve.

You do not put a file system on the partitions you are using as LVM physical 
volumes. And you do not mount them.

Hi Gene,

You can ignore them, or not, as you like. If you want, you could overwrite them 
with zeros or a pattern of your choice; I would not bother.

Logical volume creation and mkfs operations on the logical volume(s) will 
replace them.

Tom



Thank you Tom.


The rough procedure is

Create LVM physical volumes on raw disk partitions using pvcreate  (or lvm 
pvcreate) e. g.,

pvcreate /dev/sdc1
pvcreate /dev/sdk1

This gives you two physical volumes to use to create one or two volume groups
Create an LVM volume group using vgcreate (or lvm vgcreate), e. g.,

vgcreate home-vg sdc1 sdk1

This gives you a volume group named "home-vg" with 4.4 TB raw storage in which 
you can create one or more logical volumes.
Create the logical volumes you want. It appears you want only one, to mounted 
at /home. For instance,

lvcreate --size 1024G -n home-volume home-vg

will create a 1 TB logical volume, represented under dev by 
/dev/home-vg/home-volume

Put a file system on the logical volume in the normal way, such  as:

mkfs -t ext4 /dev/home-vg/home-volume

mount the new volume (and put it in /etc/fstab for mounting at boot:

mount /dev/home-vg/home-volume /home

Doing this probably will not give you what you want. (For instance, if I 
remember right, the entire logical volume would, in this case, wind up on the 
first-named physical volume vgcreate command.) The man pages for lvm and its 
subcommands offer a lot of options for things like storage allocation 
between/among multiple physical volumes that make up a volume group, the size 
of allocation units, such things as RAID level, and a large number of other 
properties. You probably know what you want, and from what I've seen on this 
list seem quite able to fish it up out of the man pages, some of which have 
usefully suggestive examples.

OTOH, I would recommend ZFS for this based on experience with LVM and ZFS in 
both commercial (e. g., HP-UX and SolaRIS) and Linux environments. Both have 
learning curves that I would judge comparable, both are flexible and fairly 
easy to manage, and both are or can be highly resilient. On the whole, though, 
I prefer ZFS.

Tom Dial





How about to use debian-installer: burn the dvd image of Bookworm 12.2, put into the DVD 
drive then reboot the system. You have to choose "Expert Install" and it's all 
menu driven from RAID device creation to LVM logical device and logical volume names.
I don't know if you can do that from debian-installer rescue disk mode.

First: what security issues? If you know of a problem in libdb,
have you reported it to the package maintainer?

Here's the bug page for it:

You cannot remove libdb and have a usable Debian system;
apt-utils depends on it.

As you have discovered, libdb3.5 is required for several essential
parts of the Debian 12 release, such as libpam-modules.

If you can't solve your security issues you'll need to avoid using
Debian.

It is likely that your "security issues" are that something says a

but you will probably find upon research that Debian has already

It might be sensible to think about rebuilding the machine to use _one_
controller. If the 16 port controller has a JBOD mode, use that and
use mdadm. Splitting between some MB SATA ports, some on a card may not
be efficient. [JBOD == "just a bunch of disks" == no RAID intelligence
applied by the card itself]

"Motherboard RAID" is not portable - mdadm is at least as efficient.
On the one machine I have that has "motherboard RAID", it's effectively
something like mdadm but writes some signature to the disk that means
it can only be read by that software. A "proper" RAID controller has
large amounts of RAM, battery backup - they generally cost $$$

Buenas tardes Camaleón.
Agradezco su ayuda al igual que al resto de compañeros que me han prestado 
atención.
Estudiaré la información que me sugiere revisar: por si a pesar de ser 
principiante me sirve de algo la perseverancia.
Coincido con usted en que Firefox es un buen navegador, tan es así que llevo 
años usándolo.
Mi necesidad de instalar otro navegador es que Firefox me ha fallado en alguna 
ocasión al utilizar los certificados electrónicos y necesito por tanto una 
alternativa, pues basta que me falle para que necesite perentoriamente realizar 
alguna gestión administrativa mediante dichos certificados.
Antes que Chromium he intentado usar Brave, que si no me equivoco está basado 
en aquél, pero mi sistema se cuelga a menudo con éste y por lo tanto no me 
resulta fiable.
En fin, les mantendré informados de si consigo instalar Ungoogled-Chromium... o 
de si cambio de ordenador.
Un cordial saludo.

Most likely your problem has nothing to do with selinux, but is rather
due to the hardening features implemented in rsyslog 8.2310.0-1.  Among
other things, rsyslogd now gets its own /tmp directory (PrivateTmp=yes
in rsyslog.service) which is not shared with other processes.

If you insist on moving it to /tmp, one possibility is to use a bind
mount for /tmp/server.log.  Run "systemctl edit rsyslog.service" and put
the following two lines in the file:

[Service]
BindPaths=-/tmp/server.log

You may also need a tmpfiles.d(5) snippet to create /tmp/server.log on
reboot if it does not exist.

Good luck,
Sven

Also note that there are *two* periods in Gene's original find command.
He's asking find to look for stuff, beginning in ".scad" and then also
beginning in ".".

If you changed it to

find *.scad .

then it would ask find to look for stuff beginning in "foo.scad" and
also beginning in "bar.scad" and also beginning in ".".

Changing it to

find '*.scad' .

would ask find to look for stuff beginning in "*.scad" (a literal
asterisk character) and then also beginning in ".".  That's still not
what's wanted.

What's wanted was already posted earlier, but just for redundancy:

find . -iname '*.scad'

is probably the best answer.  You can use -name instead of -iname if
you want the matching to be case sensitive.

No, it is more than that. The non-option arguments to find
are the starting points. So "find .scad" would look for
something (hopefully a directory, but in a pinch, a file
would do, see below) and find everything in there which
fulfills the search criteria.

Since those are empty, you would get a listing of .scad
and everything below it. If there's no .scad, the result
is empty.

Putting a * in front of it would get expanded *by the
shell* (not by find), as was discussed elsewhere in this
thread. Find would see the expanded result, so, if e.g.
you have foo.scad, bar.scad and baz.scad in your current
dir, the command actually run would be

  find foo.scad bar.scad baz.scad

which would, if those are plain files, just list those
three (something you can get far cheaper with ls).

Try putting a * before the period in that find command?

I think WiFi is configured properly (with automatic setup it does have same
settings as I did with manual settings)

Here is output from phone connected to WiFi setup program:
Connectino type: DHCP
 IP address: 192.168.231.243
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.231.3
DNS: 192.168.231.3

Those are same values I was providing previously when I used manual setup too.

Well this is the part where my knowledge is thin as it can be, sadly.
I have read part of manual page for tcpdump, some web page with tutorials
and all I came with is to issue command:
$ sudo tcpdump -s 0 -i any -w  any-0.pcap
$ tcpdump -r any-0.pcap  > any-0.tcpdump

While tcpdump was recording what was going on network I issued those commands
from my phone:
connect to with browser: http://www.google.com
In terminal program that I downloaded on phone I issued those commands
(2 top ping worked third did not)
ping -c1 192.168.0.16
ping -c1 192.168.231.3
ping -c1 google.come
connect to with browser: http://192.168.231.3/test.html

The connection to www.google.com did not worked, but connection to my own
web server did showed test.html page (which I created for this)

I have run this commands 2 times once right after rebooting when my changes to
nftables where not done yet and second time after I added this to nftables:
table ip masqrule {
chain postrouting {
type nat hook postrouting priority srcnat; policy accept;
ip saddr 192.168.231.0/24 oifname "wlxe8de27a5ab1c" masquerade
}
}

and here are the outputs of tcpdump (I did post them to pastebin as they are 
not tiny)
(tcpdump -r any-0-no_masq.pcap  > any-0-no_masq.tcpdump) (pastebinit -i 
any-0-no_masq.tcpdump)
https://paste.debian.net/hidden/be2f7994/
(tcpdump -r any-0.pcap  > any-0.tcpdump) (pastebinit -i any-0.tcpdump)
https://paste.debian.net/hidden/1589ec04/

There are also same outputs with '-n' (to print IP numbers instead of names) 
option too:
(tcpdump -r any-0-no_masq.pcap -n > any-0-no_masq-n.tcpdump) (pastebinit -i 
any-0-no_masq-n.tcpdump)
https://paste.debian.net/hidden/08ecfd39/
(tcpdump -r any-0.pcap -n > any-0-n.tcpdump) (pastebinit -i any-0-n.tcpdump)

If you just want to see files in /home/gene try

  locate -r 'home/gene/.*\.scad'

Hm. I may have missed something, but I've got the impression we are a
second round through this: you just slap the LVM infrastructure over
current data, it will overwrite what it needs to and mark the rest as
free space. It just replaces what was before on disk.


Sounds good.
However I may go a different route. I have a not installed 2T WD-Black 
SN770 NVMe SSD, format 2280. This Asus prime z370-A II modo has two M2 
sockets which the docs say both can use a 2280, but they operate 
differently w/o really explaining the difference. The one in the middle 
of the board, the A socket 2_2 looks like I have to pull the CPU and its 
radiator to be able to really get to it, and actually only shows how to 
install in the lower 2_1 socket which also has a heat sinking cover that 
must be removed & reinstalled. Is this then the preferred location, or 
is there an advantage to the other socket nearer the CPU?.



It /might/ warn you that you're about overwriting potentially valuable
data, I don't remember.


But before I do yet another reinstall, 24th or so. two of the sata 2t's 
are installed, and I'm tempted to rsych the raid to one of them to see 
if reassigning /home to a copy of /home does away with this horrible lag 
I'm wanting to blame on the raid10.


Unless, of course, the data is sensitive: in that case you want to zero
(or better: random) it.

Cheers


Thank you.

They are empty except for the ext4 install and if pvcreate just slams 
the new format regardless, I'll rsync the 2T /home back to the raid10, 
and unplug that controller before I put the install dvd in. I also have 
another sata controller, this one with all 16 ports installed.


And I just looked at tht pair, and acc gparted they have both been 
pvcreated, so I'll leave then alone and steal the dvd cable, puttin a 
new 2T drive if I can rig power to it.
This mobo also claims to be able to do the intel version of a raid on 
its own sata ports.  Does anyone here have experience doing that?

Help ! No syslog anymore

[Bhasker C V]

Hi,

 I moved my syslog to a different location  '/tmp/server.log'
This was working all fine until I moved to selinux in enforcing mode.

I have the file context as system_u:object_r:syslogd_runtime_t:s0
now, the file is empty
Strangely ...
lsof shows rsyslog is using this file

rsyslogd 25561 root4r   CHR1,9  0t0 18
/dev/urandom
rsyslogd 25561 root5r   REG   0,440 4026532059
/proc/kmsg
rsyslogd 25561 root6u  unix 0xc5984619  0t0 136109
type=DGRAM (CONNECTED)
rsyslogd 25561 root7w   REG   0,35 8952   4873

/tmp/server.log
rsyslogd 25561 root9w   REG   0,35 8952   4873
/tmp/server.log

But, the file says it is not being used by rsyslog

 $ sudo lsof /tmp/server.log
COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
tail24848  bcv3r   REG   0,35   39   37 /tmp/server.log

There are also no messages in the kernel which I can use to audit any
access/deny issues for selinux.
I have tried putting selinux in permissive state and that too did not help
Please could someone help ? Or if there is a procedure to move syslog file
/var/log/syslog to a different location, I am happy to follow ...
