Re: [gentoo-user] [nfs] nfs mount settings

 I have an opensolaris nfs server serving a share to my gentoo box.

 ls -ld /projects
 drwxr-sr-x 2 reader wheel 48 Jun 24 07:08 /projects

 And the mount settings in /etc/fstab
 (zfs is the hostname of the opensolaris server)

 zfs:/projects   /projectsnfs   noauto,users,exec,dev 0 0

 With those settings my user or root can mount it.

 When its mounted the permissions change to this:

 ls -ld /projects
 drwxr-sr-x+ 13 reader man 14 Jul 25 09:47 /projects

 Whats with the `man' group?

The way nfs works is that it takes a remote filesystem and *mounts* it 
locally, exactly as if it were a local filesystem. It is not a share. The 
inodes are exported over nfs and that directory is owned by a group with gid 
of say X. On your local machine that gid just happens to be the man group.

There is nothing much you can do about this except:

Renumber your gid's locally to match the nfs server,
or renumber the nfs share gids to match your local machine

 Also, when mounted I find when I try to copy somethihng with the -a
 option, which tries to maintain any permission settings.  It causes an
 error warning... (although the copy is done).

  cp -a file file1
   cp: preserving permissions for `file1': Operation not supported

Full paths please. I can't see which way the copy is going.

I suspect that your user on the nfs server is not a member of the group that 
has the same gid as your local man group.

 And the files permissions end up:
  ls -l file*
 -rw-r--r--+ 1 reader man223962 Jul 26 15:56 file
 -rw-r--r--+ 1 reader reader 223962 Jul 26 15:56 file1

 Is there some way to set it up so that permissions can be copied?
 Also to alow the set-gid setting to work?


Golden rule with nfs:

It was designed for the case of a diskless client mounts it's home or root 
directories over the network, while exporting passwd and shadow files over 
NIS. That is evident in it's design and there is no facility to change uids 
and gids on the fly. You do not authenticate with nfs, the server assumes that 
the request coming from the client is OK and treats it exactly as it would a 
request from a local user on a local disk. This is the primary reason why nfs 
performs so well.

It is up to you to make sure your uids and gids everywhere match and work. nfs 
cannot and will not help with this.

BTW: The permissions of the mount point don't matter since they can be 
different after the directory has been mounted. So I guess the set-gid only 
needs to be set on the exported directory. In fact, I would set the 
permissions of the mount point so that it's only writable by root so that 
ordinary users can't write to it while it's unmounted (a later mount would 
make those files invisible for as long as the directory is mounted).

And finally: Using the kernel automounter (autofs) avoids
1) the need for the users option
2) users forgetting to mount the thing

[gentoo-user] LiveCD installation not recognizing megaraid RAID set

2009-07-27 Thread Ho-Ki Au
I was trying to put gentoo on a dell poweredge 1950 quadcore xeon machine
with three disks connected to a lsi PERC 5/i raid controller.  In the BIOS
settings, all three disks were added to the controller for a RAID5 set up.
 When I boot from LiveCD (2008 version with 2.6.24-r5 kernel) with
dmraid='-ay' option, it came up not recognizing the RAID set, as I only saw
control under /dev/mapper.  modprobe megaraid was okay, so was modprobe
raid5.  Under /dev, I only saw sda, but there was no sdb, sdc.  So it looked
like there was only one disk but the system did not recognize it as a raid
set.  Booting from LiveCD with dmraid='-ay' doscsi didn't help.  I got the
same result.  If I did a dmraid -ay in bash, I got No RAID disks.  Could
anyone point me to some instructions on how to make Gentoo recognize the
PERC 5/i RAID controller?

I tried both 32bit and 64bit gentoo and results were the same.

Your RAID set is being detected by the LiveCD.  It looks as though you 
have a RAID5 set using 3x72GB drives.  This would be consistent with the 
size of /dev/sda (144GB).  Because it's hardware RAID, operating systems 
don't usually access each individual disk but rather the disk set 
presented by the controller.


As mentioned by Neil, dmraid is for software RAID management.  If you 
want to manage your RAID controller or disk sets from Linux, you'll have 
to find management software capable of doing this.  Try the server 
manufacture's site or the RAID manufacture's web site to see if such 
software exists.


Hope that helps,
Carlos

It looks like *not only* did you add them to the controller, but you  
configured them as a single drive. Therefore this looks correct.


The whole point of RAID is that multiple disks should appear to the  
host o/s as a single drive.

First, check the info and forums at http://www.quickcamteam.net/ if

Try to disable the auto exposure and low-light features. It really
kills the frame rate. CPU load of processing and displaying live video
is also prohibitive on slower hardware.

I have a Quickcam Pro 9000 which I believe is very similar to the
notebook version you have, maybe the same chipset. I, too, was very
disappointed with the video quality considering the reviews, the
marketing HD video 1600x1200,  and the cost. I expected it to look
like a camcorder, but it is basically crap. I even attached it to a
Windows machine using the official Logitech drivers and software and
it is equally unimpressive. Based on all of the reviews online it
seems this is one of the best consumer webcams (without getting into
very expensive professional equipment).

In a dim room, even with normal indoor lighting, I get about 5fps with
the auto-exposure/low-light features enabled. With bright light it's
about 15fps. Disabling those features should give you the highest
frame rate but, of course, they make the image look much better at the
expense of frame rate. It has been a very long time since I used it
but I think all of these settings were able to be controled via
luvcview for testing. Good luck, I think I had some hairs turn gray
trying to make it look good...



Re: [gentoo-user] {OT} SSD instead of RAID1?

 ... What if I bought a low-price/low-capacity SSD drive for each

 or better system reliability than RAID1.  What do you think?
 You don't need to buy SSD drives - instead you could use CF cards and a
 cheap adaptor. These are commensurate in capacity  cost with USB flash
 drives (4gig, maybe 16gig?), but CF cards talk EIDE and you can get cheap
 pin-convertors allowing you to connect them to EIDE cables and treat them
 like a hard-drive.
 
 Aren't CF cards much slower than SSD drives and HD drives?
 

Yep, especially the cheap ones which do not support DMA, just PIO. But
this is not necessarily a problem: After starting all services etc.
there will be very few reads on stuff like /etc and /usr. Just make sure
to put all directories to which you write (parts of /var like /var/log
and the several tmp directories) on an HDD, NFS or tmpfs. Of course,
this all depends on your usage patterns and how much RAM you have.

If you really need to write to the CFDisk, make sure to buy one with DMA
support (and no, the label super fast which is regularly found on
these things does not necessarily mean that it supports DMA).

One drawback of this configuration: You can never use swap - never!
Neither on the HDD (there is a high chance that the system would crash
when the HDD fails) nor on the (cheap) SSD/flash drive (the drive would
wear down, removing any advantage you tried to gain).

 I know of these used in Asterisk based PABX systems  PoS tills with the
 expectation that they're more reliable than disks, and have read statements
 by people deploying quantities of such machines that they've never had a
 failure in years of use.
 
 I like the sound of that.

Where I work, we have a System-on-a-Chip (SoC) NAS. Albeit being the
second most powerful machine we have in our server room (quad core CPU,
lots of RAM, three redundant power supplies and a good dozen HDDs), the
OSS itself resides on a removable card not bigger than my thumb.

 
 I don't know how that really compares to RAID 1 - if you use hardware RAID
 (and you can get hardware SATA controllers for £50 these days) then you can
 assign a hot-spare, and hot-swap a replacement drive with zero downtime.
 With hardware RAID you can still boot if one of the drives fails, but you do
 add the controller as a potential point-of-failure.
 
 Would the system keeping running if I used a CF or SSD for the system
 install and the HD drive died?

[gentoo-user] Not getting cron emais that should go to root user

2009-07-27 Thread Michael Sullivan
For a long time I haven't gotten cron reports from one particular box on
my network.  I've been seeing these lines in my /var/log/cron.log file:

27-Jul-09 12:00  unable to exec /usr/lib/sendmail -t, user -oem, output

Bangert bang...@gentoo.org

I don't know why it's trying to use sendmail; I use exim.  The server is
actually on the same box that's giving me this problem, but the other
two boxes on the network use ssmtp forwarding to forward their mail to
this box, and I get their cron reports.  

There's nothing in the exim logs about this.

Err, I don't know if I really have to make this clarification, but I
don't want to spread false nomenclature:

Of course, the system I describe is not really an SoC because not all
components reside on a single chip. Actually, only the basic
input/output system and persistent storage are built as an SoC or, to be
more precise, as a System-in-a-Package (SiP).

One thing to watch out for if you do go the CF/DMA route - be careful what
CF-IDE/SATA adapter you buy - in an embedded control system project I
worked on a few years ago, we went CF + adapter for the primary OS driver,
got a super-fast 4GB CF card, and couldn't use the speed of it at all,
because the cheapo CF adapter we got was so electrically noisy across the
physical adapter pins, that DMA reads/writes would fail, and the speed would
get auto-reduced to PIO. Very, very, very annoying. If you get a CF adapter,
make sure to spend the extra $5-20 (or however much, I haven't priced in
quite a while) to get something that will be compatible with the transfer
speeds that you are wanting to use.

When you do this, you only change the username attached to the gid. Remember 
that the filesystem does not know or care what username you use, it only knows 
about gids. You now need to find every file group owned by man's old gid and 
chown it to man's new gid. Put another way, the man groups files now appear to 
belong to the wheel group, and the wheel group's files are orphaned. This 
ought to do it:

- umount nfs shares
- find / -gid 15 -exec chown :16 {} +;
- find / -gid 10 -exec chown :15 {} +;
- mount nfs shares

You must establish for yourself if any files were created meanwhile with gid 
10 or 15 and take steps to deal with those specially.

 Having my user mount the nfs ... it ends up `reader:wheel'.  Both are
 my users uid and one of his gids so now both the uid and gid match

 But with all that in place a copy using `-a' still causes the the

Let's try something stupid :-)

cp -a is a GNU extension IIRC, and Solaris userland does not support it. 
Try cp -pr just for fun

Also, there's an ACL on that file (the +). What are those rules, determined by 
getfacl? It shouldn't make a difference as ACLs cannot take away a user's 
permissions. But SELinux can ... offhand I cannot think of anything on Solaris 
that works similarly - anything ring a bell here about your nfs server?

Personally, I would suggest using a newer stage3 than 2008.1; there are new 
stage3 tarballs generated every week in [1].  You probably want the
stage3-i686-*.tar.bz2 file. (The *-i486-* files are for systems older than 
or otherwise not compatible with the Pentium Pro, IIRC).

 Not true: the versions of portage that support sets (including @world)
 are all hardmasked currently.
 
 Still? I unmasked them ages ago, but though that had all been sorted out
 by now. But yes, sets are about the only recent portage feature not
 supported by the stable version, my bad.
 

I believe the mask is still in place because of a couple issues with sets, 
as well as issues with FEATURES=preserve-libs.

 My ~amd64 machine skipped that version and went to 3.5.1 instead.
 Is there a particular reason you don't want to do that?


 Possibly because it's not marked stable?...

 3.0.12 is also marked unstable, so I assumed that Walter (the other one)

 are all security patches it would be nice to get the latest one...

Yeah, I agree. I wanted 3.0.12 also as 3.0.11 apparently has a
security bug but I felt like 3.5 was probably a jump to big.

[gentoo-user] Grub error 15: file not found

2009-07-27 Thread Brenton
Hi,

When I try to edit the /dev/sda to /dev/hda I'm not sure how to save my
change when I edit in grub.  I make a change then go back to check and it
never saves.

I'm only trying to follow the Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook.

Thanks,

Brenton.

Brenton,
   I only edit there to test something I've broken and am not sure of
the answer. Editing there doesn't, to the best of my knowledge, ever
edit the /boot/grub/grub.conf file. If my fix worked and the system
boots, then after it boots I mount /boot and edit grub.conf by hand
using vi.

Hope this helps,
Mark

  Contrary to what some people may say, I'm quite quite stable G, and
so is my Gentoo system.  But I do enable a few security patches early by
keywording the specific build before it gets moved to stable.  Right now
I'm using Opera temporarily.

[gentoo-user] Re: [nfs] nfs mount settings

2009-07-27 Thread Harry Putnam
Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com writes:

[...]

 Logging my user out and back in I see the gid 15 now is wheel so the
 same as solaris.

 When you do this, you only change the username attached to the gid. Remember 
 that the filesystem does not know or care what username you use, it only 
 knows 
 about gids. You now need to find every file group owned by man's old gid and 
 chown it to man's new gid. Put another way, the man groups files now appear 
 to 
 belong to the wheel group, and the wheel group's files are orphaned. This 
 ought to do it:

 - umount nfs shares
 - find / -gid 15 -exec chown :16 {} +;

Not many files have group man... mainly /var/cache/man/*

 - find / -gid 10 -exec chown :15 {} +;
 - mount nfs shares

I'm working on that... but that would only get to files NOT on the nfs
mount.  Far as on the nfs mount...where the `cp -a' problem is, the
numeric gids are the same on all machines now.

[...]

 But with all that in place a copy using `-a' still causes the the
 same error warning.

 Let's try something stupid :-)

 cp -a is a GNU extension IIRC, and Solaris userland does not support it. 
 Try cp -pr just for fun

The server is opensolaris.. which has lots of gnus tools... including
cp -a, but just making sure:

 cd /projects
 touch file
 cp -rp file file2
  cp: preserving permissions for `file2': Operation not supported

 Also, there's an ACL on that file (the +). What are those rules, determined 
 by 
 getfacl? It shouldn't make a difference as ACLs cannot take away a user's 
 permissions. But SELinux can ... offhand I cannot think of anything on 
 Solaris 
 that works similarly - anything ring a bell here about your nfs server?

getfacl doesn't show anything as an acl...
  getfacl file 
  # file: file
  # owner: reader
  # group: wheel
  user::rw-
  group::r--
  mask::rwx
  other::r--

 What are your mount options on the client side, and the relevant line in 

I posted those already.. `noauto,users,exec,dev,suid'

 exports on the server side?

opensolaris running zfs filesystem doesn't use an exports list.

nfs exporting is done by using the: 

`zfs set sharenfs=on'  cmd on the desired member of a zfs filesystem.

I don't really know what the defaults are and not really sure how to
find out either.

I've run into something more serious in the course of investigating
about the nfs mount...  a reboot of gentoo has shown that I have no
keyboard or mouse once I turn X on.  

So the nfs stuff will have to wait its working well enough for me
to work on the mounted filesystem for now anyway.
