Yes, the phisical host says the very same:

It already has twelve cpu theads.
Is there a way to reserve some of them to I/O?

Well, the disk seems to be "vda".
Issueing root@bobby:~# cat /sys/block/vda/queue/scheduler gives:

[mq-deadline] none

Is it wrong?

I've been to quick...
Now only if the data comes from the local LAN (not drossing routers or
firewalls) I still get

  kernel:[ 7336.007287] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! 
[swapper/0:0]

if I write to the disk via dd nothing wrong happens...

[DNG] Chimaera CPU stuck

2022-09-13 Thread Luciano Mannucci 
hello all!

I have a virtual machine running under kvm who started hanging giving
this message just before it dies:

kernel:[  296.013011] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! 
[swapper/0:0]

This happens only on high i/o load.
The other virtual machines are all running with no problems.
What should I do?

luciano.

Bingo!
Adding

solved the problem (of course I had to run ap-get update... )

Thats entirely possible, they are the result of the rrq script and
I have not checked. In fact I have only these two lines:

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera main contrib non-free

[DNG] Installing build-essential on Chimaera PPC

2022-08-22 Thread Luciano Mannucci 

I installed a Chimaera guest on my KVM/quemu PPC (well, not exactly;
I had to install a Debian bullseye and then migrate using rrq script).
Now I'm trying to install some usefull software via apt-get and it says
I have broken packages. This is what I typed (with anwers :):

root@bob:~# apt-get install build-essential
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libtirpc-dev : Depends: libtirpc3 (= 1.3.1-1) but 1.3.1-1+deb11u1 is to be 
installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Do I have any chance to correct that issue?

Many thanks to everybody,

Luciano.

Well, I just removed consolekit (I haven't found the package elogind

Well, not really.

I've completely removed Xorg, rebooted the machine, and still it does
the same: when I log in as user XXX via ssh I see a /run/usr/XXX on
that machine. I'm still investigating...

Well, the hardware is not the same.
The software too, might not be at the same update level, so I just
issued an apt-get update followed by an apt-get dist-upgrade.
I cannot test the results because I cannot reboot the machines now.

Well, it gives me a lot of differences in kworker/something, and
some difference in samba suite. And a big difference: one is
running Xorg. I think I'll disable it and see if it makes a
difference after next reboot...

[DNG] /run/user/#

2021-08-30 Thread Luciano Mannucci 

Hello,

I have two Beowulf systems that should be identical. If I issue "df"
one does report among mounted filesystems a /run/user/xxx, where xxx
is the id number of the user I am connected with (via ssh) and the
other doesn't. As uname -a they both report:

Linux mil-dbs66 4.19.0-14-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.171-2 (2021-01-30) x86_64 
GNU/Linux

What have I done wrong, and on which one of the two machines?

Thanks in advance,

Luciano.

Well if I issue "apt-get update", I get:

Indeed.
But if I issue "apt-get install libpcre2-dev", I get:

Is it normal?

[DNG] Ossec-hids for Beowulf

2021-05-20 Thread Luciano Mannucci 

Hello,

I need to install an ossec-hids (from www.ossec.net) agent on a Devuan
Beowulf PPC64 machine. AFAIK the .deb package is not supported direcly
by Devuan and I cannot find a Debian PPC version. Compiling would be
trivial if I can get pcre2 devel libs and .h, wich I'm unable to find
for Beowulf. What sould I do?

Thanks to all in aadvance,

Luciano.

Well, it happened to me few days ago, tough the usual tricks did the
job (setting root at grub prompt, booting the /vmlinux and issuing
update-grub and grub-install). I did the upgrade from jessie to ascii
and then to beowulf.

[DNG] Upgrasde Jessie -> Beowulf ...

2021-02-01 Thread Luciano Mannucci 

... Done.
Seems to work pretty well.
I've done the classic path: Jessie -> Ascii (checked, everything was
running) then Ascii -> Beowulf. Everything works but one of my scripts
in /etc/init.d that doesn't want to start, even by hand. I also noticed
that the handy sysv init command "service" disappeared. Is it normal?
Can I have it back?

Thanks to everybody,

Well, Yes you're right on the G3 (Mine is running freebsd; I use it as
a tty for telnet && ssh :). The apple G4 and G5 are still around, many
are even servers. Being orphaned by Apple makes them available for a
supported OS; as far as I know the only de-systemd-ized for them now
is freebsd.
And of course adding a supported CPU adds visibility ;-)

Just my 2 cents.

Hmm, I guess that a couple of virtual machines under KVM/Qemu on an 
IBM S802L Power8 are'nt enough... (I could provide them :)
I have an old G4 MacBook that I should check to see if it is still
working...
Of course we will need testers.

Are there plans to port Devuan to PPC? It souldn't be too difficult:
there is a Debian and an Ubuntu for PPC...
