Diskless workstations with cluster-nfs
Hi I have a setup of diskless mosix workstations using cluster-NFS. I have 3 directories for every workstation. /dev /tmp /var I have a problem with /var. It is that programs like locate/updatedb and apt-get uses /var to store a database. But I would like share this database between every workstation. Is there a easy solution for this problem ? knud
Shutdown RAID1 failed
When I am shutting down the RAID= device md1 always failed. and when i issue raidstop --all /dev/md1 it says the device is busy or= resource busy. 2 Harddisk each has 3 partitions (1 /boot; 2 / ; 3 swap) partition 1 (/boot) is in RAID1 (/dev/md0) partition 2 (/) is also in RAID1 (/dev/md1) partition 3 (swap) How can I find and close all open files on md1 ?

raid problems
I have a raid1 device for which fsck returns a error. It says that the physical size of the device is 26000k but that the superblock says that the size is 26066k. if I run mkraid --upgrade it tells me that the physical size is 26066k and that the superblock starts at 26000k. What should i do to make fsck successful? Knud
Re: raid problems
Solved the problem myself. And found a alternative way to set up raid. I have to identical disk hda, hdc. 1) Install debian on hda. hda1/boot hda2/ hda3Swap 2) config raidtab with hdc af failed. md0 for boot md1 for root 3) config fstab and lilo.conf md0 for boot md1 for root 4) clone the disk dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc This take some time. 5) start raid raidstart /dev/md0 raidstart /dev/md1 6) write new superblock mke2fs -S /dev/md0 mke2fs -S /dev/md1 7) change /boot to md0 umount /boot mount /dev/md0 /boot 8) run lilo lilo 9) reboot and test reboot (when up again) df this should give /dev/md1/ /dev/md0/boot 10) hotadd some disk remove failed-disk from /etc/raidtab then raidhotadd /dev/md0 /dev/hdc1 raidhotadd /dev/md1 /dev/hdc2 This works for me.

Re: Boot on raid1 did it work for you ??
Hi No, the /boot - directory is on my / partition. I will try you suggestion soon. Right now my main problem is that when I make a rescue from a floppy. I have to run fsck manually on /dev/md0 then after a reboot i have to run fsck again. It is like /dev/md0 is not properly unmounted ??? any suggestions Joerg Huber wrote: Hi Knud, do you have your boot image on the raid disk? The image should reside in the /boot - directory and this directory has to be on a separate partition. Lilo cannot boot from a raid partition. The /boot partition could be very small, I choose 25 MB. That's enough for a lot of images. Hope that helps, Jörg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Install and RAID
Russell Coker wrote: RAID is vitally important for serious machines. This means all server-type machines and workstations for people who do important work. I would like to develop new installation software to allow Debian to be installed to RAID1 arrays. One problem with this is that the RAID-1 sync process (which occurs when the RAID array is initialised) takes a large amount of time and makes all disk access very slow (can take 2 hours or more). So we don't really want a RAID-1 sync operation to occur while the main software installation is in progress. yes, a fast sync option would be great help under install.

stripe swapping
Hi I trying to setup stripe swapping on two devices. The only thing i did was editing the fstab file to. /dev/hda2 none swapsw,pri=1 0 0 /dev/hdc2 none swapsw,pri=1 0 0 It don't work the partition type on hda2 and hdc2 is 82 (Linux swap) Do I need to do anything to the partion or adding a module to the kernel? any ideas ? knud

Are you suggesting that I run the swap space over the raid ? This was my primary intention too, to get high avability via raid1. But I read that the is some problem with that. That the raid need memory to swap, and that this memory then get swapped - error. So, I decided to use the kernels stripe swapping. but it does work for stripped data... and am assuming oyu have setup /etc/raidtab properly too if you need to use swapp space that much... add more memory..its only $45 for 64Mb or $65 for 128Mb ... or even less on mailorder places There server i work on have 640Mb. But I have 2 identical disks. with raid1 on the first partition on each leaves me with 2 partitions if I only use one for swap, I still got on left. So, why not use it for stripe swapping and increase the speed of the swap space.
