Re: OpenBSD changes virtual nic driver in vmware workstation?

Martinez: Hi all, I am trying to do some tests with OpenBSD 5.1 and FreeBSD 9.1 beta in my laptop virtual lab based on vmware workstation 8. But I have found a problem when I try to configure OpenBSD vms: I can't use e1000 driver with these OpenBSD vms. I have tried to setup these OpenBSD vms as FreeBSD virtual guests, as Other, as RHEL, etc ... (and yes, I have changed .vmx config file to ethernetX.virtualDriver = e1000 every time) but when OpenBSD boots, every time change virtual nic driver to vicX (in .vmx config appears as a vlance, the worst driver possible)... After doing several tests, like installing FreeBSD to see if same problem occurs, I conclude that the problem may be with OpenBSD ifself making the change, is it right?? Curiously, I have five OpenBSD vms under two ESXi servers, and this problem doesn't appears: I can use e1000 configuring OpenBSD vms as FreeBSD guest or Other ... Any idea?? Hmm, I have some OBSD 5.1 Testmachines running under vmware Workstation 8.0.4 on a linux host. They work all with Network-Driver e1000. I did not do any configuration, it just worked out of the box. But I think, if your system puts it back to vlance instead of e1000, it is a problem of vmware and not of Openbsd. guido Do you have the VM running when you make the changes to the .vmx file ? If so, I have seen it where vmware re-writes the original contents when you reboot. Easy to try, power of the VM, make the change, power it on.
[CentOS] VMware tools not installing init.d script
Has anyone else seen this on Centos 6.x x64? Running vSphere 5.0 and I install tools from the VMware tar.gz file with ' vmware-install-tools.pl -d' it seems to do all the usual/right things. Once completed there is no 'vmware-tools' listed in 'chkconfig --list'. A reboot of the box leaves vmware tools not running.

Re: [CentOS] mail server best practices question
I use Mailscanner with postfix and Mailwatch to manage quarantine etc; http://mailscanner.info/ On the backup MX, I just use postfix and some basic anti-spam stuff. Very little gets through and even less gets through to the primary. I am aware that some spam techniques go straight to the backup MX because most people don't set it up quite as well as the primary. YMMV. I also used to use greylisting, which does reduce spam, but, unfortunately it also reduces valid mail ;-) In the end I'd rather suffer a few spams getting through compared to the delayed receipt of important emails.

Re: [storage-discuss] Disk Issues
Further update... I have booted into system rescue cd again and ran 'badblocks -vws' on the suspect drive. The strange thing is that it passed the test without one single error ! Now I am stumped. Am I right in expecting there to be some kernel DMA messages/errors if the drive is having difficulty ? One thing I did do is run the WDTLER on each of the 6 WD green drives to enable 7 second timeouts instead of the default, which I think is 60 seconds. Could this be causing this slowdown ? Although, if that were the case, I would expect all drives to be exhibiting the same symptoms ? I think I'll blow the RAIDZ2 away and see what happens with mirroring, If I recall correctly, the same drive was having issues with that also.

Re: [storage-discuss] Disk Issues
Hello Brian Thanks for this interesting post to the forum. It's strange that you are not seeing the problem hard drive behaving slowly when using Linux. I think it strange also. Maybe I'll run up the system rescue CD again and perform a 'badblocks' on the drive. But then I think the smartmontools long test will just test internal to the drive, and not actually test transfer of data over the SATA interface. I would be surprised if the opensolaris ahci driver would treat any of the 6 ports differently, so I would expect this to be a hardware problem. Are you seeing a delay when running 'cfgadm -v' ? cfgadm -v returns quickly. Have you tried moving the hard drive connected to c6t2d0 to another of the SATA ports.

Re: [storage-discuss] Disk Issues
OK, changed the cable and the issue persists. I think the drive is bad. I'm going to boot into the system rescue CD and run a destructive bad blocks test on that particular drive. It will probably take overnight being a 1TB drive. At least my Raidz2 data should be preserved even although I'll hose that drive. Incidentally, does anyone know how raidz2 will perform minus one drive ? I'd guess that it would be working as per raidz ? I may also try disabling the drive (by removing power) to see if my performance improves. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ storage-discuss mailing list storage-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss

Ok, I changed the cable and also tried swapping the port on the motherboard. The drive continued to have huge asvc_t and also started to have huge wsvc_t.

[zfs-discuss] Separate Zil on HDD ?
Hi all, I have a home server based on SNV_127 with 8 disks; 2 x 500GB mirrored root pool 6 x 1TB raidz2 data pool This server performs a few functions; NFS : for several 'lab' ESX virtual machines NFS : mythtv storage (videos, music, recordings etc) Samba : for home directories for all networked PCs I backup the important data to external USB hdd each day. I previously had a linux NFS server that I had mounted 'ASYNC' and, as one would expect, NFS performance was pretty good getting close to 900gb/s. Now that I have moved to opensolaris, NFS performance is not very good, I'm guessing mainly due to the 'SYNC' nature of NFS. I've seen various threads and most point at 2 options; 1. Disable the ZIL 2. Add independent log device/s I happen to have 2 x 250GB Western Digital RE3 7200rpm (Raid edition, rated for 24x7 usage etc) hard drives sitting doing nothing and was wondering whether it might speed up NFS, and possibly general filesystem usage, by adding these devices as log devices to the data pool. I understand that an SSD is considered ideal for log devices but I'm thinking that these 2 drives should at least be better than having the ZIL 'inside' the zpool. If adding these devices, should I add them as mirrored or individual to get some sort of load balancing (according to zpool manpage) and perhaps a little bit more performance ? I'm running ZFS version 19 which 'zpool upgrade -v' shows me as having 'log device removal' support. Can I easily remove these devices if I find that they have resulted in little/no performance improvements ? Any help/tips greatly appreciated.

[xen-discuss] xVM Ready for serious use ?
I currently have 2 x ESXi boxes that have VMs stored on a NFS/iSCSI debian lenny linux box. I had purchased a new whitebox server as an intended replacement for the linux box. I had always planned on installing opensolaris on the new hardware with this config; 2 x 640GB mirrored rpool 6 x 1TB in raidz2 This box was going to be built in parallel with the current server and I would have simply copied the VMDK files across. Main reason for the move to opensolaris is ZFS and all its goodness like; end-to-end checksumming expected good NFS and iSCSI performance (I'd be using b124 rather than 0906 due to poor iSCSI performance in comstar 0906) send/receive for backups snapshot cloning etc Now I'm having a change of heart and want to investigate the possibility of moving from three servers to two. Both of them opensolaris with xVM/zones as the virtualization tech. I'd like to build the two boxes spec'd thus; Intel i7 920 + 12GB 4 x 1TB SATA (raidz) xVM on b124 3 x 1000mb NICs (1 onboard, 2 added PCI-E) The plan is to have the VM files synced across to the 'secondary' node via ZFS send/receive so that should one fail I can simply restart the VMs on the second node. I may even be able to spread the VM load across the two nodes and sync each bunch of VMs to the 'other' node. My questions are; 1. Is xVM considered stable enough for use ? And in particular with ZFS underneath in dom0. 2. Can I run virtualbox on opensolaris dom0 ? 3. will the ZFS send/receive work as I intend ? 4. Should I just keep the central 'storage' server and continue with ESXi or Xenserver 5.5 ? Any thoughts or experiences would be great. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ xen-discuss mailing list xen-discuss@opensolaris.org

Almost always is very dependent on the disks and size of the array. Let's take a 20TiByte array as an example. Now, the hard error rate is an expectation. That means that with an error rate of 1E14 then you'd expect to see 1 error for every 1E14 bits read. If we make the simplifying assumption of any read being equally likely to fail then any single bit read has a 1/1E14 chance of being wrong. (see end of email for more thoughts on this). Now to rebuild a 20Tibyte array you would need to read 20Tibytes of data. The chance of this happening without error is: (1-1/1E14)^(8*20*2^40) = 0.172 ie only 17% of rebuilding a 20TiByte array! That's pretty bad. In fact it's downright awful. Do not build 20TiByte arrays with consumer disks! Note that this doesn't care about the size of the disks nor the number of disks; it's purely based on probability of read error. Now an enterprise class disk with an error rate of 1E15 looks better: (1-1/1E15)^(8*10*2^40) = 0.838 or 84% chance of successful rebuild. Better. But probably not good enough. How about an Enterprise SAS disk at 1E16 (1-1/1E16)^(8*12.5*2^40) = 0.981 or 98% Not five nines, but pretty good. Of course you're never going to get 100%. Technology just doesn't work that way. So, if you buy Enterprise SAS disks then you do stand a good chance of rebuilding a 20TiByte Raid 5. A 2% chance of a double-failure. Do you want to risk your company on that? RAID6 makes things better; you need a triple failure to cause data loss. It's possible, but the numbers are a lot lower. Of course the error rate and other disk characteristics are actually WAGs based on some statistical analysis. There's no actual measurements to show this. Real life numbers appear to show that disks far outlive their expected values. Error rates are much lower than manufacturer claims (excluding bad batches and bad manufacturing, of course!) This is just a rough off my head analysis. I'm not totally convinced it's correct (my understanding of error rate could be wrong; the assumption of even failure distribution is likely to be wrong because errors on a disk cluster - a sector is bad, a track is bad etc). But the analysis _feels_ right... which means nothing :-) I currently have 5*1Tbyte consumer disks in a RAID5. That, theoretically, gives me a 27% chance of failure during a rebuild. As it happens I've had 2 bad disks, but they went bad a month apart (I think it is a bad batch!). Each time the array has rebuilt without detectable error. Let's not even talk about Petabyte arrays. If you're doing that then you better have multiple redundancy in place, and the expense! Google is a great example of this. -- rgds Stephen ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] How to setup a secondary DNS server pulling zones from Win2k3?
I found this useful... http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd316373.aspx On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 6:22 PM, Alexander Farber alexander.far...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, we have a mixed environment at work: CentOS + Win2003 servers.

I wonder if there is a way to setup such a secondary DNS server under CentOS as well? And no, I'm not asking about how to setup a DNS-forwarder.

Hello, Am I doing something wrong ? I have a single DLT320 drive and each day when I eject the last backup tape, I have to manually mount the next tape otherwise the next backup will sit waiting for a mount request. Is there a way to tell bacula to automount the tape in the drive ? Reason being I dont want to give operations guys a login to mount tapes. Is the automount = yes in the sd.conf for automounting after labelling only ? Cheers, Brian. - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Netgear WG311 and ath driver on amd64.

ath hostap and carp ?
Hello all, can anyone tell me if running 'ath' based cards in hostap mode is reliable and stable ? I'm deciding whether to get a linksys wrt54g or to throw an ath based card in my firewall and run it as the AP. Also, does anyone know if I can run carp on wireless cards ? Specifically, I currently have a carp based firewall setup and I was wondering if running both of these as AP could give me AP failover ? Thanks, Brian.

The idea behind spamd is to waste the time and resources of spam operations, not simply to reject their mail. If you're only looking to reject mail, then don't use spamd. I do understand what spamd is trying to achieve. I want both .. to waste their time and resources and block their email as I'm sure everyone does !. Which is what should happen according to my interpretation of spamd and its standard implementation. To my knowledge, there does not appear to be anywhere in the spamd documentation that says something like (sarcastic voice) after delaying the spammer and using up their time and resources, allow their connection through to your mailserver so they can deliver their spam ! Thanks for your help Steve, I think Otto is looking at the *real* problem. Brian.
pf and rdr pass nat
The man page says; If the pass modifier is given, packets matching the translation rule are passed without inspecting the filter rules: I like this as it will reduce the size of my rules file, however, how can I rdr pass and have it honour (for want of a better word) altq ? Cheers, Brian.
Sun Netra T1 105
I am thinking of getting one (or two) of these for my new firewall, just curious if nayone has any opinions on its suitability in such a role. Spec as follows; 64bit 360mhz CPU (IIi) 128mb RAM 1 x 18gb 10krpm 2 x integrated NIC 1x PCI (which I intend to put a dual port compaq/intel NIC in) Basically, I have a low traffic mail and web server behind this firewall it also is my OpenVPN server for one VPN. I have around 90 pf rules. I may even chuck a squid cache on it given its got heaps of free disk. Lastly, does anyone know if these have a 40 pin IDE connector for the optional CDROM and if so do you reckon it would be able to boot from a compact flash ? Cheers in advance. Brian.

[linux-dvb] Re: First attempt with Nebula DigiTV card
Clyde Stubbs wrote: I didn't go through all your message in detail, but two things leapt out; Forget about the insmod script - use make install in the build-2.4 directory, then use this script: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg10969/dvb-nebula to start and stop the card (ignore the tuner not loaded message when you stop it). That script, BTW, is referenced by this short HOWTO: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg10969.html I didn't follow exactly this - I built bttv separately (but with the patch). The missing /dev/dvb stuff confused me too - with the 2.4 kernel, without the DEV_FS feature (or whatever it is) you will need to manually create the special file nodes. IIRC, there is a script in the top level of the dvb-kernel tree that will do this for you. For testing, you will need to use the DVB utilities - find out what frequencies you have locally, use scan to identify the PIDS, and tzap to test tuning. Once you've tuned something with tzap you can use dvbstream to grab some data, and view it with mplayer. Note: some australian channels (at least SBS in Qld) are not on the nominal centre frequency. you should be able to get accurate frequency information from www.dba.org.au. If you're in Brisbane, I can send you a file with the local channel info. Setting up the channel tables in Myth is then required, using the info that scan got for you. This link will help (but is out of date, so you have to ad-lib quite a bit) http://www.hack.id.au/dvbsetup.html I haven't worked out quite what the channel number, channel id and channel names are for, except that the id is the key that links the channel table with the dvb related stuff. To get aussie program guides, try this link: http://www.onlinetractorparts.com.au/rohbags/xmltvau/index.html Install that BEFORE you run mythsetup. Which in the CVS is just setup/setup. Have fun.

[linux-dvb] Nebula PCI - kernel 2.6 or 2.4 ?
G'day all, I've just purchased a Nebula DVB-t PCI card, works a treat under windows but I'm having some difficulty getting it working under linux. I'm using slackware 9.1 which has a 2.4.22 kernel, and have followed the HOWTO here; http://www.linuxtv.org/mailinglists/linux-dvb/2003/07-2003/msg00530.html This is a nice howto but, for me, it fails to explain one key thing, when or if you need to recompile the kernel ? I suppose I'm better of asking; Should I use a 2.6 kernel and DVB-kernel (slackware 9.1 is 2.6 ready) or the 2.4.22 kernel that comes as default and patch it up according to this howto. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Brian. -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe linux-dvb as subject.
