Re: [CentOS] ZFS on Linux in production?

2013-10-26 Thread Ray Van Dolson
On Thu, Oct 24, 2013 at 01:41:17PM -0700, Lists wrote:
 We are a CentOS shop, and have the lucky, fortunate problem of having 
 ever-increasing amounts of data to manage. EXT3/4 becomes tough to 
 manage when you start climbing, especially when you have to upgrade, so 
 we're contemplating switching to ZFS.
 
 As of last spring, it appears that ZFS On Linux http://zfsonlinux.org/ 
 calls itself production ready despite a version number of 0.6.2, and 
 being acknowledged as unstable on 32 bit systems.
 
 However, given the need to do backups, zfs send sounds like a godsend 
 over rsync which is running into scaling problems of its own. (EG: 
 Nightly backups are being threatened by the possibility of taking over 
 24 hours per backup)
 
 Was wondering if anybody here could weigh in with real-life experience? 
 Performance/scalability?
 
 -Ben
 
 PS: I joined their mailing list recently, will be watching there as 
 well. We will, of course, be testing for a while before making the 
 switch.

Joining the discussion late, and don't really have anything to
contribute on the ZFSonLinux side of things...

At $DAYJOB we have been running ZFS via Nexenta (previously via Solaris
10) for many years.  We have about 5PB of this and the primary use case
is for backups and handling of imagery.

For the most part, we really, really like ZFS.  My feeling is that ZFS
itself (at least in the *Solaris form) is rock solid and stable.  Other
pieces of the stack -- namely SMB/CIFS and some of the management tools
provided by the various vendors are a bit more questionable.  We spend
a bit more time fighting weirdnesses with things higher up the stack
than we do say on our NetApp environment.  Too be expected.

I'm waiting for Red Hat or someone else to come out and support ZFS --
perhaps unlikely due to legality questions, but if I could marry the
power of ZFS with the software stack in Linux (Samba!!), I'd be mighty
happy.  Yes -- we could run Samba on our Nexenta boxes, but it isn't
supported.

Echo'ing what many others say:

- ZFS is memory hungry.  All of our PRD boxes have 144GB of memory in
  them, and some have SSD's for ZIL or L2ARC depending on the workload.
- Powerful redundancy is possible.  Our environment is built on top of
  Dell MD1200 JBOD's all dual pathed up to dual LSI SAS switches.  Our
  vdev's (RAID groups) are sized to match the number of JBODs with the
  invididual disks spread across each JBOD.  We use triple parity RAID
  (RAIDZ3) and as such can lose three entire JBODs without suffering
  any data loss.  We actually had one JBOD go flaky on us and were able
  to hot yank it out, put in a new one with zero downtime (and much
  shorter resilver/rebuild times than you'd get with regular RAID).
- We make heavy use of snapshots and clones.  Probably have 200-300 on
  some sysems and we use them to do release management for collections
  of imagery.  Very powerful and haven't run into performance issues
  yet.
  * Snapshots let us take diffs between versions quite easily.  We
then stream these diffs to an identical ZFS system at a DR site and
merge in the changes.  Our network pipe isn't big enough yet to do
this quickly, so we typically just plug in another SAS JBOD with a
zpool on it, stream the diffs there as a flat file, sneakernet the
JBOD to the DR site, plug it in, import the zpool and slurp in the
differences.  Pretty cool.

As I mentioned, we have run into a few weird quirks.  Mainly around
stability of the management GUI (or lack of basic features like
useful SNMP based monitoring), performance with CIFS and oddnesses
like high system load in certain edge cases.  Some general rough edges
I suppose that we've been OK dealing with.  The Nexenta guys are super
smart, but of course they're a smaller shop and don't have the
resources behind them that CentOS does with Red Hat.

My guess is that this would be exacerbated to some extent on the Linux
platform at this point.  I personally wouldn't want to use ZFS on Linux
for our customer data serving workloads, but might consider it for
something purely internal.

 1) you need a LOT of ram for decent performance on large zpools. 1GB ram 
 above your basic system/application requirements per terabyte of zpool 
 is not unreasonable.
 
 2) don't go overboard with snapshots.   a few 100 are probably OK, but 
 1000s (*) will really drag down the performance of operations that 
 enumerate file systems.

Have run into this one (again -- with Nexenta) as well.  It can be
pretty dramatic.  We tend to set quotas to ensure we don'get exceed 75%
or so max, but

...at least on the Solaris side, there's a tunable you can set that
keeps the metaslab (which gets fragmented and inefficient when pool
utilization is high) entirely in memory.  This completely resolves our
throughput issue, but does require that you have sufficient memory to
load the thing...

  echo metaslab_debug/W 1 | mdb -kw

There may be a ZOL equivalent.

 4) I prefer using striped mirrors (aka raid10) over raidz/z2, but my 
 applications are primarily database.
 
 (*) ran into a guy who had 100s of zfs 'file systems' (mount points), 
 per user home directories, and was doing nightly snapshots going back 
 several years, and his zfs commands were taking a long long time to do 
 anything, and he couldn't figure out why.  I think he had over 10,000 
 filesystems * snapshots.

Re: [CentOS] baby blue screen of permanent death

2013-10-26 Thread Michael Hennebry
Absent other ideas, I might try re-installing CentOS or re-installing X.
I have a pretty good idea how to do the former,
but the latter might be harder despite, in principle, being less intrusive.

My understand is that unistalling X will
normally take all its dependents will it.
That means That I will have to re-install said dependents,
possibly listing each one separately.
My thought is to /usr/bin/script yum's output into a file.
I'd use the file to produce another yum commmand to reinstall X's dependents.
Does that seem like a good plan?

To reinstall CentOS, I would back up things that needed backing up.
I would use yum to list all installed packages.
I would use my grub menu to select the same
stanza that I used to do a net-install of CentOS.
It might be nice to use a kickstart file, but I do not know how.

After the install,
I would restore the directory that listed all my repositories.
This is a step I am not sure about.
I have a vague recollection that that is not sufficient.
What else would I need to do?
I would use the yum listing to install everything I have now.
Does this seem like a good plan?

I will be able to replicate your environment within a few days are you
willing to give it another shot? SilverTip257 had an interesting
question with regards to how the network is setup.

I'm assuming that the host has a bridge nic compared to the bridge that
is created by libvirtd virbr0, which has the default network of
192.168.122.0/24.

Can you confirm my assumption and let me know if you are willing to
continue to work on a resolution.

[CentOS] CentOS 6.4, LAMP, MariaDB

2013-10-26 Thread Joseph Hesse
Hi,

I am trying to install a LAMP stack using MariaDB on CentOS 6.4, 64 
bit.  I have installed MariaDB by using the MariaDB repository 
configuraton tool.  I installed php by itself.  Both MariaDB and php 
individually test fine.

I know that php-mysql has to be installed to complete the LAMP stack 
installation.  From lots of googling I understand that there is a 
php-mysql and a php-mysqlnd.  If I do:
# yum list | grep -i php-mysql
I only get php-mysql, not php-mysqlnd, even though the MariaDB 
repository is active.

Will php-mysql work or should I try to find mysqlnd?  FYI: I installed 
LAMP with MariaDB on a Fedora 19 box and, I don't remember how, 
php-mysqlnd was installed.

Thank you,
Joe Hesse

 CentOS != Fedora

 Will php-mysql work or should I try to find mysqlnd?
 maybe you should read what myqsqlnd is at all
 http://www.php.net/manual/en/intro.mysqlnd.php

 it is a different *low-level* abstraction compared
 to libmysql and so the question is nonsense

 from the view of php scripts there is no difference

 hence you can even compile php with libmysqlnd without
 provide any loadable extension

 FYI: I installed
 LAMP with MariaDB on a Fedora 19 box and, I don't remember how,
 php-mysqlnd was installed
 CentOS/RHEL != Fedora


Thank you for your reply.  What I want to do is install WordPress on a 
CentOS 6.4 server using MariDB.  According to the WordPress 
documentation you need a LAMP server.  I have installed MariaDB and 
php.  What else do I have to install to get a functioning LAMP server?
Thank you in advance.

 We maybe getting a bit off topic here but on that subject we have noticed
a significant degrade in performance on systems running at 75-80 % of their
pool capacity. I understand that the nature of COW will increase
fragmentation. On large storages though 70% out of 100TB means that you
have to always maintain 30TB free which is not a small number in terms of
cost per TB.

I have a new install of CentOS 6.4 on an HP Pavilion 500-27c with one
mother board nic card.

results of lspci :
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR8161 Gigabit
Ethernet (rev 10)
04:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. Device 539b

results of ifconfig -a

lo  Link encap:Local Loopback

wlan0   Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 70:18:8B:80:AE:71


There is no /etc/sysconfig/network file present.

The install was performed without incident from a DVD.

I would surely appreciate your help in trying to activate this network.
Is this a problem with the 6.4 disc or do I have a network card on this
machine that is not supported by 6.4

Are there any messages in the logs? In particular 'dmesg' messages. (I
don't have a CentOS system right here so I can't see which log is
appropriate.)

Is there a DHCP server on the network? A little more detail on your
situation would be handy. Is this a home network with ADSL or similar?

Cheers,

Cliff

Cliff,

Thanks for your help.

This machine is scheduled to be a mail server for a business with a
static ip address behind an ATT Uverse router.  

There were no entries in the /var/log/messages that I could identify as
errors.  There was no dhcp exposure during the intallation; I planned to
manually enter the ip, gateway, dns addresses, and subnet after the
installation.  The problem apparent was that the customary eth0 was not
present for me to edit.

I have now taken the server back to my lab, and still am not able to get
to the network card.

Any suggestions before I try CentOS 5.9 would sure be beneficial.

Greg

Please take a look at ELRepo's FAQ #4 ( http://elrepo.org/tiki/FAQ )
and determine the vendor:device ID pairing. It will help you find an
appropriate driver.

Akemi,

That seemed to be a good start.  I determined that there were three
rpm's that satisfied the id pairing :

kmod-alx-0.0-2.20121003.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm   22-Dec-2012 12:32 77K
kmod-alx-0.0-6.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm17-Jul-2013 21:58 32K
kmod-alx-0.0-7.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm30-Jul-2013 00:58 32K

I installed the first one and the system would not boot.  I am in the
process of reinstalling 6.4 and will try the 0.0.7 next.

 Absent other ideas, I might try re-installing CentOS or re-installing X.
 I have a pretty good idea how to do the former,
 but the latter might be harder despite, in principle, being less intrusive.
 
 My understand is that unistalling X will
 normally take all its dependents will it.
 That means That I will have to re-install said dependents,
 possibly listing each one separately.
 My thought is to /usr/bin/script yum's output into a file.
 I'd use the file to produce another yum commmand to reinstall X's 
 dependents.
 Does that seem like a good plan?

 Way too much work.
 Why not yum reinstall package names
 That will ensure that all package contents are correctly installed..??

Would
yum reinstall X
reinstall X's dependents?
If not, I still need the list of package names that depend on X.
Telling yum, at least tentatively,
to remove X would seem to be the simplest way.

I really do not want to do any more experiments than I have to.

Akemi,

kmod-alx-0.0.7 was the rpm that worked.  I had to rebuild the entire os,
and then had to add the /etc/sysconfig/network file, but after these
steps I got it to work.

Thanks much for your assistance!!
