1: Is the nfs port open on ipv6?  Use "ss -ln | grep :2049" and look for a

Oh, and BTW, using the same mount command trying to mount a share from my 
Synology NAS using the
link IPv6 address of the NAS fails.

That is one of the reasons I feel the OP should be using the actual IPv6 
address and not the link address.

I got the impression from the OP that the NFS server is not a Fedora system.  
When I asked about logging into
the NFS and running the "ip addr show" command the response was "Web interface. It 
shows".  That doesn't
seem to be what one would do if the NFS server were Fedora based.

As I understand it, because I'm not using a dedicated graphics card the 
video/graphics memory used by the vm is being sourced from real memory, 
and I assume as part of the memory allocation being given to the vm, 
hence would potentially increase the requirement for memory paging.


The system graphics card is irrelevant.  The VM display is virtual 
anyway, so I expect any memory used by the virtual graphics card comes 
from system RAM.


VirtualBox has a per-VM setting for its display and video memory. At 
least that is the case for VirtualBox running
as a host on linux.  I seem to recall you're using VirtualBox on HW 
running Windows?
I am running Virtualbox on a Windows 10 host as I am running on a raid 
10 motherboard supplied raid environment and Fedora workstation won't 
install to raid (it can't see any devices), but having said that though, 
Windows 10 can't see any devices to install to, but the motherboard bios 
provides facilities to generate the necessary raid drivers to specify at 
windows install time, but unfortunately it doesn't generate linux 
drivers. The possible issue with video memory in virtualbox is the 
windows version of virtualbox only allows a maximum of 128MB to be 
allocated, which I think is no where near enough, hence the performance 
issues. This is also why I'm still using Vmware player, as it allows 
significantly more video memory allocation, and I was giving it 2GB of 
video memory, but with that I was getting performance issues (I was 
allocating 16GB of memory to the vm) and when I dropped the video memory 
allocation back to the recommended of 768MB performance improved.


You don't mention how much RAM the computer has, but 2GB of video memory 
for a VM seems extremely excessive.  Even the 768MB seems far beyond 
anything useful.  There's a reason virtualbox has a max of 128MB.

Right.

Well, I think it is well understood the HW in some form is responsible for the 
30 sec delay
in boot times.  I see 3 avenues open.

1.  Continue to search for the HW cause and hopefully fix it without incurring 
cost.
2.  Find a way to ignore the HW during boot.
3.  Live with the 30 second delay.

I was looking at #2 but couldn't find a way with BTRFS raid.  Maybe with 
software raid and ext4.

I do wonder how many brain-seconds have collectively been used in search of a 
solution.  :-) :-)

Hi,

/dev/zram0. Does this mean that if I create a swap partition of a

Ignored?  No.  But not primary.  e.g.

[egreshko@meimei ~]$ swapon
NAME   TYPE   SIZE USED PRIO
/dev/sda2  partition 16.9G   0B   -2
/dev/zram0 partition  4.7G   0B  100

So, it may or may not be used.


Alternatively, given the fedora is using it's own rules for 
determining the swap size based on the amount of memory available, 
is there any way to increase the size of /dev/zram0 so that there 
is more swap space available to the system?




I think

man zram-generator

will help in that.
Thanks Ed, I'll check that man data out. In my case with an auto 
storage configuration at F34 install time there isn't any swap entry 
in fstab or swap partition. I think I need to expand this in 
virtualbox as I think that virtualbox's lack of video memory is 
causing performance issues in F34.




My system has been upgraded from versions without ZRAM.  That is the

Just for kicks, I've uploaded the smartctl readings for both drives to

I rebooted and took some new logs. However this time, for whatever
reason, there was no 30-second delay. The logs are prefixed "nodelay-*"
in the same directory.

I then rebooted and this time there was a delay. These logs are
labelled "delay-*".

One interesting point is that in both cases I have to wait before
getting some of these, e.g.

   $ systemd-analyze blame
   Bootup is not yet finished
   (org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager.FinishTimestampMonotonic=0).
   Please try again later.
   Hint: Use 'systemctl list-jobs' to see active jobs
   [poc@Bree ~]$ systemctl list-jobs
   JOB UNIT TYPE STATE 
   294 dock-watch.service start running
   
   1 jobs listed.
   
IOW the system thinks that boot hasn't finished because the dock-watch
unit is still running, even after I've already logged in. Probably not
important.

nodelay-journal doesn't have the reset message, so that is clearly a
clue to what's going on.

There is a single dock with two slots and no other type of enclosure.
The disks are internal SATA units inserted directly into the slots. The
dock has a single dedicated USB-3 connection direct to the system
motherboard with no intervening hub or splitter. It is independently
powered via a wall socket and power block.

PackageKit and dnf keep separate metadata in /var/cache and they
update periodically. PackageKit seems to do this on login, but I've
also noticed it trigger an update when I switch networks. And dnf is
on a timer. Either of them can use a lot of cpu, it just depends on
how much updating they need.

Recently I've been experimenting with cgroups to restrict the amount
of cpu packagekit gets via the packagekit.service unit. i.e. this is a
service unit specific restriction, not on all instances of packagekit.
Thus it doesn't affect offline updates, where it can still use 100%
cpu if need be. But, it's possible GNOME Software could be a bit
slower since it uses packagekit, though I haven't noticed any ill
effect so far.

$ sudo systemctl edit packagekit.service

Read the file that appears and insert these two lines where it says to:

[Service]
CPUQuota=25%

Save it out, and when the unit restarts (logout and login or do the
daemon-reload followed by service restart dance) you'll see packagekit
uses this value as a maximum.

Lots of folks don't realize that zram devices don't use any memory
(small amount of overhead based on the size of the zram device, and
driver; less than 0.1% of the zram device size), and that it's
dynamically allocated. But it's true that swap efficacy as a
percentage cannot be 100% like it is with disk or file based swap.
That it's so much faster makes up for the lower efficacy. By that I
mean, a 4 KiB page being swapped out to disk means you free 4 KiB RAM
and consume 4 KiB on disk. With zram based swap, it's still memory,
but it's compressed. So you free up 4 KiB uncompressed memory for
other things; and you consume ~2 KiB RAM for that compressed page in
the zram device. The efficacy is related to the compression ratio you
get, which is anywhere 2:1 to 3:1. So it's an efficacy of 50% to 75%.

For sure it's better than no swap which has an efficacy of 0% :) In
fact that's misleading because when a system can't evict dirty pages
at all, it's forced to do file page reclaim, i.e. libraries,
executables, configurations that exist as files on disk, can be
removed from memory via reclaim, because they're already on disk and
can just be read back in. But when under memory pressure, reclaim can
look a lot like swap thrashing and even compete with it. So some swap
is better, and also due to SSDs, we're probably better off with a
higher swappiness value, i.e. give equal weight to page out of
anonymous pages as reclaim.

But some workloads are different and you can actually get a kind of
in-memory swap thrashing same as on disk. It's so fast that it's
normally not a problem. Until it is. So we definitely want to keep an
eye on reports of folks having issues that sound like hangs or
lockups, any time the desktop becomes unresponsive we want to find out
what's going on

First thing to check in those cases is if the system is running
uresourced. It's only enabled by default on GNOME right now. But it's
considered safe to run as an opt in for other desktops, though we want
to keep an eye on possible regressions.

There is still more work to do in this area, in particular wiring up
the IO isolation. Any time there's memory pressure it'll quickly lead
to IO pressure: reclaim and swap.

At a high level, zram is a ram disk that has transparent compression.
You can format it with mkswap or any other file system, use it as a
block device.

But nuts and bolts memory management, reclaim, paging in and out, it's
quite complicated. There's work happening since kernel 5.8 to make
swap a lot more effective. And on going work to make mm and zswap do
the right thing. And zswap is a different thing altogether, it's a
front cache that uses a compressed memory pool as a cache for a
conventional swap file or partition. And it works on an least recently
used basis. So it has a way of determining what's stale and pushing
that out to disk, while keeping recent things in the (memory) cache.
In this case we don't have the concerns with priority inversions that
can happen when a particular sequence of events happens:

1. zram based swap has higher priority
2. conventional swap has lower priority
3. early workloads fill up zram with stale things not used again later
4. the general workload ends up using disk based swap

So this is not really any worse than before at this point except it is
consuming some memory, just to keep stale things available in case
they get used. And if they do get used, it'll be quite fast. That's
not obviously a bad thing, except it is taking a limited resource off
the table. That's atypical for desktop workloads. But you can imagine
that the more resources a system has the more variable the workload
can be, and you could see early swap fill up a zram device, and then
it can't be used again until the programs that created those anonymous
pages are quit, in the extreme case.

Anyway, how to optimize was the whole point of moving to zram based
swap. And it won't stop there. There is still more work happening to
get zswap cgroups aware. Neither zram nor zswap are at the moment so
for resource control purposes, we actually need a plain swap partition
or swap file, it can't even be on dm-crypt at the moment. And one of
the nice things about zram based swap is, it's volatile, so we have
less security concerns about questionable things ending up on
persistent storage that don't even go in a user's ~/home. Anything
could be evicted to swap.

With centos 8 kernels you'd probably use zram based swap because it's
more mature in the older kernels. If you are able to use an elrepo
kernel you could try changing nothing else and see if the kernel 5.8+
changes help your workload all by themselves. And if not you could
look at either zram based swap or zswap.

And they have their own /dev node. So is one in a USB enclosure and
the other isn't? Or maybe they are both just appearing as usb 4-3 even
though they get different scsi id's - that's probably it. But then one
of them is having some sort of issue, even if it's just confusion that
results in the need for the kernel to do a reset on it. but *shrug*
this is the joy of USB, it's not necessarily a hardware problem per
se.

I've got one SATA USB enclosure that tries to use the uas driver if
direct connected to an Intel NUC. And I get no end of grief from it
(this is with a pre 5.0 kernel I'm sure, it may very well have since
been fixed in the kernel). All kinds of uas related errors. Plug  it
into an externally powered USB hub, and it doens't use the uas driver
and I don't have any problems with it, and it reads/writes at
approximately the drive's spec'd performance, depending on where on
the platter the head is at. As it turns out a USB hub is very much
like an ethernet hub. It's not just amplifying a signal, it's reading
it, parsing it, and rewriting out that entire stream, as well as any
other stream from another connected device. They're a PITA but kind of
an engineering marvel (from my perspective anyway). So the hub does in
effect seem to normalize the command/control/data streams from myriad
devices so they have a better chance of playing well together. It's
almost like the idea is "we'll use crap chipsets in the devices and
hosts themselves, and just let the hubs figure it all out".

And as it turns out with the well behaved SATA USB enclosures, they
have transient read and write errors (one a day, then 10 times in a
row) if direct connect to that same Intel NUC. With the *externally*
powered (not bus powered) hub, zero problems. For years.

So if both drives are in SATA USB enclosures, and if they're both
connected to ports on a dock, you might track down or borrow an
externally powered hub and connect both of the drives to that hub, and
the hub to the dock. And see if this problem goes away.

There are basically 2 types of IPv6 IP Dynamic assignment techniques.  
State-full, and Stateless.

Briefly, State-full is DHCPv6.

While Stateless is a bit more involved.  In Stateless the device needing an IP 
address
receives a Router Announcement which tells it the IP address of the router and 
subnet information.  From there
a unique IPv6 address is determined.

Given the *huge* IPv6 address space they can both can stay the same for quite 
some time but that is not guaranteed.
Not an ideal situation for client/server.

Just as with ipv4 you want a fixed address for servers and its the same with 
ipv6.

You clearly want DNS to provide a name for the server to avoid using the long 
address.

But you do not want that address to change after you have done the look up!

Both sd 6:0:0:0: (/dev/sdd) and sd 6:0:0:1: (/dev/sde) are found at
the same time, but there's a uas related reset that happens only on
/dev/sde. I don't know what this means:

00 08 00 18 00

But that's the clue that there's some kind of communication issue
between drive and kernel. If these are both in SATA USB enclosures I'd
ask on the linux-usb list what these messages mean and why the file
system on the one with these messages isn't recognized by the kernel
until later.

You could switch cables only around and see if the problem follows the
cables; then switch the drives to see if it follows the drives. I
would sooner expect the drive enclosure than cable but since I've got
no clue what the above two messages mean, it's just an iterative
process.

I do recommend using lsusb -v in the initial email to linux-usb, maybe
compare the two enclosure outputs to see if there's anything
different. The make/model might be identical but it's possible a
partial explanation lies with a chipset difference, or revision of the
chipset. There's a bunch of usb and uas driver quirks that can be
applied to work around problems like this. By reporting them, if
there's enough differentiation reported by the enclosures to use a
quirk, they'll apply it by default in a future kernel. If not, then it
becomes something you apply every boot.

What files is packagekitd accessing?
I'd use lsof to look for what its doing.

lsof -p  

Also if you do ps -afx are there any subprocesses of packagekitd?
What are they doing?

Re: No Swap Allocation in FSTAB

2021-06-21 Thread Barry Scott
The SSDs are a lot slower than compressing a page into RAM.

There was extensive discussion on the Fedora Devel list when this change was 
proposed.

Personally I was convinced that this change is an improvement for any system 
that is under
memory pressure. I'm not going to try to recall the discussion as I may get 
some details
wrong.

I switched it on in F33 and have for over a year seen no down side for my work 
loads.
My work loads are file+email server, firewall, KDE desktops, Kodi music server.

At my work once we get on to Centos 8 I'm planning to performance test with 
zram swap.
We have a work load that is very sensitive to disk I/O spikes and there is some 
sad
code that uses swap for 10s to 15s every 20mins of so that I want to make go 
away.
We have RAID-10 SSD where we see issues.

Barry

Isn't there some sort of automagic ipv6 name resolution? I've avoided
ever learning anything about ipv6, but I swear I saw something about that
in some overview once.

The ipv4 connection works

What is needed to get the ipv6 connection?


You really should be using the "actual" ip6 address and not the link address.

The journal times of what you've supplied seem fine.  They show

Jun 20 15:44:50 for example

and dmesg -T would show

[Sun Jun 20 18:35:35 2021]

So, they are easy to match up.

I've replaced the dmesg file with the output of 'dmesg -T'.



I thought I mentioned they should have been taken at the same time.

journal starts at

Jun 20 15:44:50

dmesg

Sun Jun 20 22:38:39 2021

Kinda hard to match things that way.  :-)

Hmm. I see there's a way to breakpoint the boot process e.g. at the
pre-udev stage, but I'm not sure what I can achieve by doing that.

The logs are now publicly visible at:

I've included my home-grown 'dock' scripts for completeness, plus logs
of a Fedora Live boot (with no delay) and my current installed system
(with the delay), both with unchanged hardware.

Yes, that's been established (strictly, I haven't bothered swapping the
drives in the dock to see what happens, but it's immaterial). Again,
the issue is not that one drive takes time to spin up, but that the
system start-up waits for it when it doesn't need to.

I'm only using BTRFS raid.

No. I did have one under F33, but since doing a clean install of F34
that's no longer the case.

I suppose the follow-up question would be are you seeing the swap partition 
actually being used?

Does "swapon" show it has been used?
