[ilugd] Linux boot from SAN disks to Internal disk
Folks, I need some help, We have a Linux host which is currently running/booting from a disk which is allocated from a SAN. We have to move bootable disk from SAN to internal disks. We have used dd and created a copy of the SAN disk to Internal disks. However, when we boot it says: rootvg not found. We have used clonezilla but it did't give work as expected. I think there should be way around, can someone provide some hint or way around this? Regards, Yash ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

[ilugd] sudoers - how do we manage it?
Hi All, I'm looking for a Open Source tool which can only manage /etc/sudoers. Now before many start advising vi and many other such editors. We have no problem in using it but our requirement is very specific - the size of sudoers access file is very large and infact getting large day by day to push on few thousand hosts. It would be great to have few features like: 01. It provides a convenience to add new users, hosts, commands which user is allowed to.. etc in a consistent manner. We wish to get this file organized in the sense of free from human typos, abbreviations, standards etc. 02. Many times the access is provided on temporary basis, and humans are prone to forgetfulness. if there is some access could be provided for a definite time basis, after which the access is automatically revoked 03. We are looking for a cursor based tool/utility which could possibly mange it it in more affective manner. if, there are commercial products as well, pls do let me know. Thanks Regards Yash ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

If you want LVM to watch out only for certain type of devices, you have to put an appropriate filter. e.g to exclude CDROM you may put filter = [ r|/dev/cdrom| ] Given your requirement, you may try filter = [ a/sda[1-9]$/ a/emcpower.*/ r/.*/ ] And don't forget to run vgscan -vv after making changes to lvm.conf, also be careful if running on production, keeping the backup of lvm.conf is must.

I know that sounds great to fine tune the Linux servers to such limits. But I wonder where exactly this requirement can be felt on gateways, application servers, database servers - perhaps only in banking/financial domain to avert the internal/external security? There are so many Linux servers which are directly facing towards public network with specific ports open, do they necessarily use selinux now a days? I remember one time experience with selinux when it started filling up log files, when one of the program tried to access /home which it found unusual. this is exactly the sort of thing that selinux helps with, disallowing apps from outside a specific context access to information that they should not get. Eg. its not hard getting setup in a way that even plugins within firefox are uable to access things that firefox itself is able to. Most people tend to shy away from selinux due to the, false, sense of assumed complexity. So many people shy away probably because it (selinux) is not being used in /everyday/ use as other programs are such as iptable, ipchains etc may be.

Though the functions of spyware, selinux might sound same but their contexts are different.

A spyware can exploit any software system/app and used that as a tool to hack the system information. A spyware is not necessarily to be used as a means of enhancing the system security of a Windoz box like in the case of selinux.

[ilugd] .ssh/known_hosts
Hi all, On one of a servers I recently build with SLES 10 SP2, I didn't created any ssh private and public key pair -- id_rsa and id_rsa.pub for root user When i tried to ssh this server it gave me offending key warning on my local server (/home/yash/.ssh/known_hosts) because I had recently formatted the target host, So the finger print/key is changed which is normal. But the problem is when i tried to locate the public key in /home/yash/.ssh/known_hosts I didn't find any key with a reference to my target host/IP alongwith. All I found is a file, with full of keys and its damn diffcult to find which I was looking for, Generally i look for target hostname/IP, if either of them is matched, I just remove it and it works. Is there any another way to find the matching key of the target host? Now I have created the key pair public and private but still same result- the file known_hosts still doesn't have any key with a host reference in it. what I want to understand is, if one doesn't create a pair of keys then how does the authentication takes place? If it is on the basis of server finger prints then how/where these finger prints picked up and presented to ssh client? Server is running openssh-4.2p1-18.36, with a ssh client OpenSSH_4.7p1 Debian-8ubuntu1.2, Regards Yash ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

All went nicely and installed GRUB on /dev/cciss/c0d0; It was just warming up and again required me to re-install. This time P400 appearing as c1d0 and P800 as c0d0 during installation. Does anyone know what can cause this device name to swap, how does it effect server in case it happens again? I have allocated everything under LVM2 except (/) file system, / is at c1d0p1 now.

Removing one disk from Raid 5 set will cause array to become degraded, removing 2 disks will fail the virtual drive with loss of data. Correct. I experimented a bit on this and found expanding a array carefully does't lead to any data loss. Here is what experimented Created a RAID0 (called array B) with single disk(146GB) with hpacucli. Initialized the disk into LVM. created a VG and a LV under LVM2 and put some data on the logical volume. Now i went ahead and expanded the Array B with hpacucli, with another disk(146GB) into RAID0, it took 15min/per GB to expand the array as HP documentation states. After expanding finished, I saw both the disks were appearing OK into the array B. hpacucli slot=0 array B add drives=id Now i needed to expand the logical drive hpacucli slot= ld 2 modify size=max #here I found logical drive expansion almost instant, however HP document states its should be 15GB/min Under Linux, after any logical drive expansion under RAID system, you must need to reboot the server. After reboot, run fdisk -l, I found the drive now expanded, showed me 293.6 GB instead of 146GB earlier, i needed to pvresize the physical volume into the LVM and VG was automagically expaned. Mounted the LV and found the data intact with no problem. So in theory it appears like expanding the array with new disks works, with no data loss and you require a reboot into Linux.

If your criteria is the most populous city, it would be Mumbai (formerly Bombay). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_populous_cities_in_India I think a decision needs to be made on the basis of how other countries with single timezones handle this issue.

Correct. As someone else had mentioned earlier, should we be moving every institution of national significance to the capital? Are other cities insignificant w.r.t. the country?

[ilugd] Linux Memory utilization
Hi All Recently I came across a problem, few of our Linux servers utilise almost whole of the 12 GB physical RAM on servers hosting Sybase databases. No matter whether the Sybase database utilization remains at peak or low and/or we have multiple instances of Sybase or not, but Memory utilization appears to be constantly high. What I wanted to know is a on a normal database servers Sybase or Oracle, what kind of memory utilization on Linux as the OS, is considered safe/good, to perform its best? Our system is running on a SUSE eneterprise Linux 9 SP3 x86_64. I know there would be database level tunings also which makes lot of the differences but assuming the database is tuned.

This will be reported as in use by the system, but will likely show up as buffered/cached in free, which means that memory is reserved but can be used by other processes if needed.

[ilugd] ASUS Eee PC 900
Just got hold of one, after waiting for about 2 weeks from PC world, thought of sharing some experiences with you. System config ASUS eee PC 900 RAM 1GB Disk 20 GB SSD processor 800Mhz celeron Xandros Linux First some of good noticeable features 1. booting is very fast, by the time you plug the power, system is up, absolutely no wait time or gazing at cryptic boot messages 2. IO is very fast; e,g copying from SD mem to disk or vice a versa , just took out SD card from my digicam inserted, it immediately opened photo manager 3. hybernating works perfectly, just click done, for waking upjust press any key, instantly you would see OS ready 4. Skype with video works perfectly 5. Set of applications provided are mozilla firefox, mozilla thunderbird email client, Open office 2.0, acrobat reader, pidgin 2.0, dictionary, printing system/drivers, voice command – well you can call certain commands by voice e.g “computer movie” to play built in movie player etc 6. Speaker, mike works good with reasonable pitch 7. Wirelss detects nearby clouds good but still need to test 8. less weight, very handy somewhat attractive Flip sides 1. keyboard size is very small, one would require practice but should be manageable after some time 2. Its a good laptop on the move with any flavour of linux, so far tried, Ubuntu though, but I think not suitable for serious office work. 3. You would not find any command line terminal, no xterm 4. display max at 1024x600 5. Memory 1GB , SSD disk 20GB is OK, but some more justice should have been done with processor which sometimes appear as busy Finally i have decided to put Ubuntu as the main OS on it and will live with it any way at home ;) Regards Yash ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

[ilugd] smbclient Traffic
Hi I am running a NFS server (AIX 5.2 ) to export some file system having certain reports to a Linux server (SUSE 9.3). At present both of these systems are on two different LANs but speed is not the issues and so far working fine. Now we are putting this AIX server to a geographical distant place and it would require to supply same reports. I belive, to run NFS over the WAN would be too much of traffic. Samba server is already running on AIX and neccessary firewall rules are also placed in WAN to access shares etc. What i am looking at is, can i use smbclient to mount these file systems instead of NFS, having said i already have samba server and firewall rules in place. What kind of traffic smbclient generates in comparison to NFS, is it reliable? or there any other program available.

[ilugd] FOSS to drive Kerala's first e-governance Web GIS
Kerala's e-governance initiatives have decisively turned its back to Proprietary software systems like Microsoft. This was evident when the State's first active web GIS (Geographical Information System) was launched in public domain this week. It was using Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) technology that GIS was developed, KR Srivathsan, director, IIIM-K (Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management- Kerala) said. The main objective of Active Web GIS is to make the dynamic geographical information available in a simplified, open Web interface, he added. Knowledge of spatial data is becoming increasignly important for scientific and business organisations to make informed decisions.Active Web GIS is very crucial when the location-specific information is dynamic and decisions have to be made on real time basis, Srivatsan said.

You might want to read up on what a dualcore actually means. Absolutely, by definition of dual core, it is ok to increase the count of CPUs into the operating system, as operating system perceives each of its execution cores as a discrete logical processor with all the associated execution resources So depending upon the no of cores, you may see same number of logical processor, fine. But in case of HT which is a technique, to create different set of instructions for the same CPU, so that it can better utilise CPU resources. Essentially it also does't have two CPU execution resources as in the case of dual core. Then why it is so important to show them as two CPUs in the OS? Is HT technology also means to increase the cpu logical counts and thus increase the performance for CPU intensive apps?

But no luck same error as above given. This time booted the system with SLES 9.0 SP3 and run rescue, and run fsck.ext3/e2fsck once again on all slices inlcuding /var (/dev/cciss/c0d0p6), but same error, this time i also verified /etc/fstab also which appeared to be Ok. Then i move ahead and try to use the Repair Installed System option available in the SLES. All the system verification tests passed except that, some of the package could not verified, i tried to repair them (which cause them to re-install), but installation of many of the programs failed! By this time i had a very little hope, time was running away, as this is a key production training system. I started moving the application installation data (installed under (/) FS) to another slices (/dev/cciss/c0d1). Fortunately i had, two big slices (/dev/cciss/c0d1p1 / /dev/cciss/c0d1p2) RAID5, where I moved, most of the data from /dev/cciss/c0d0/p*.

I personally would start getting worried if a server under my control was consistently showing load averages higher than say, 5; on the other hand, it all depends on what sort of tasks the server is doing and how fast and often the kernel does context switches. Apart from uptime, which tells about the load average in the form of average number of processes essentially in run_queue at a time, over last 1 minute, 5 minute and 15 minutes.

[ilugd] Slow tar
Hi All On a production Linux box with tar (GNU tar) 1.15.1, i want to nightly backup most of the file system then scping/rsync to another box. How do we use tar with limited resources like some specific cycle of CPU to use e.g20% CPU, with specified I/O or bandwidth limit e.g 50MB/s if anybody could point something would be a great help.

Re: [ilugd] Online activity declining in linux-delhi/linux-india
I secondly agree to Kenneth, the environment in the list is not conducive. People's attitude about small-2 questions being asked, HOWTOs, questions about other linux distributions like SLES or RHEL are poorly treated to such a level that, person, might not ask any question again after that... :( lately i found even some person even strangely asked How, Microsoft abused its dominant position.. is related to linux ? I am sure, there are more than dozens people in the list, who mostly replies like ask Novell, ask Redhat, read the RTFM etc, instead of, if they don't want to participate, if the topic not of much of their interest, just ignore that.. don't provide such comments which could embarrass the sender. What about people using devices such as digital camcorders or digital cameras with linux? I am sure you can't discuss such things in ILUGD! There are other GNU/Linux lists in the world where people do't hesitate to discuss anything about GNU/Linux, no matter whatever directly or indireclty it is related to GNU/Linux or FOSS. I believe what we can discuss, what we can't, is this list only for Linux OS, that too only like Debian? need to be properly defined at the ILUGD website and if possible define a one liner in the bottom of every message. Secondly we need to be more flexible in accepting emails of whatever type relating to Open Source, GNU/LINUX, etc and remove the obligations such as tagging the subject of the messages to [OT], [commercial], refrain sending warnings to the OP. Being a member of ILUGD fior more than 8 years, i know few of the people out there and i keep on, i don't mind. But what about the newbies? :) I believe yes, the online participation is decreasing, we need to be more open and flexible to discuss a revolution in software such as Open Source or GNU/Linux.

I dont agree :) We work with Redhat people onsite ( in the UK ) and even on remote setups - and i can assure you, they are some of the best techies to have on your side when things break :) I don't know what how does it relevent of comparing a RHEL techies onsite and a RHEL support via call. As far as i know you are entitled to get telephonic support from Redhat once you have bought a license, getting a support onsite seems to be a special arrangement with Redhat. I am sorry if i could't understand its meaning. with the RHEL trial version and the subscription version ( specially during the trial period ). And I've never had more of an issue than just transferring the rhn entitlements over to new machines or new versions when they come out. It is more than one month now, IIRC redhat provided evaluation copy of RHEL which we used and provided our existining RHN account to get them under a single logon. That is also quite an interesting statement - SuSe has , by far, had the best support setup inhouse for years and years, I remember talking to people back in 2000 - 2001 and getting kernel patches out from them overnight to handle specific issues. While this has *significantly* gone down in recent years, its not really that bad, to be completely written off. And a lot of that talent has moved into VAR's and associated business post Novel, should you want, I am happy to put you in touch with some of them. shameless plug perhaps you need someone to come in and manage the setup for you ? if you let me know where you are based and what setup you have, I'd be happy to trot along with a quote /plug I believe it is a perception which get developed when you work with someone, I must admit i have been too much aggresive putting comments on SUSE support, I should have taken some more time to understand how they(novell network) work/responds. It was resolved painlessly. As far as the setups are concerned, No, We are not looking someone to manage them rather looking someone to give their setups ;) You will actually find that Gora's initial response was in your real interest - mailing lists are not a real substitute for a support contract - even when you might sometimes get a faster response here ( hey, IRC will beat mailing lists hands down on speed of response ) - but when you have a supported platform, your first call should always be to the people supporting it. Not only is it their responsibility, they will ( or should ) have a process-to-resolution recommendation / execution plan. Depending on the situation, not adhering to that p-2-r plan will invalidate your support even. btw, if you really are having so many issues with your support providers and having to live off the handholding and spoonfeeding in the lists, why bother paying redhat / suse / mandriva at all ? and go the CentOS route - You can bring in local talent and feed the open source ecosystem a lot better. All is ok, what you are saying, there are only two concerns. 1. How does the people behave when they see someone's post in the mailing list, for which the answer might be very obvious or the respondent feels, why this silly question is being asked. They takes no time to comment on the question being asked or arrogantly say something to kill the discussion. Is't this negligence? I need not to supply you a example here, you see the comments from Gora's email. 2. Second and more important one is there are all types of people in the list, Gurus, Intermediate and Novice. Its good to have Gurus on the list but what could happen to list if they start behaving arrogant? I am not talking about this particular thread, i have experienced few others of similar type and thought to raise it this time. e.g what happens if someone ask what is a hosts file? I can bet there would be many in the list who would start bashing on him/her. Is't this kind of behaviour dangerous for community especially for community like GNU/Linux, whose base is on Freedom!

Re: [ilugd] Weird RPM naming
Gora Mohanty wrote: I would like to say that it should be incumbent on people asking for help to first exhaust easier avenues. FOSS support is a perennial problem, and if you have paid for the RHEL OS, you should demand quality support from Redhat. After all, you have paid *them* money, and you should deman your money's worth. By and large, I see Redhat as one of the best avenues for support in India, and we should hold their feet to the fire in this regard. Asking about any free distribution--- CentOS, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, etc.---is another matter. Truely said, that the people who supports enterprise class linux first need to speak to the principle vendor. But the problem is Redhat is not the creator of linux, its community! I don't know how is the redhat support in India but in UK it is not so. Lastly, I have been chasing them to update their own subcription databases and then they said to wait since they follow everything with US technical team, which is again a not less then a week project. Finally redhat give us trial version of RHEL which then later linked to licensed copy of RHEL. See the pain here is we paid the licenses months ago but we end up installing nearly 15 boxes with trial version of RHEL. Same is the case with SUSE support, vendors/retailers take their money and gone! For them it is a very minute issue if some license does't work,or some problem is there. What i feel is ok, you take support from Redhat/SUSE but at the same time, a person should't loose his right to discuss such problems in public forums unless it is meant only for FOSS.
