[gentoo-user] broken system - get_libdir returns an emtpy string - please help
Hi, probably, portage-2.2.0_alpha28 has broken my system. I have reinstalled a binary version of portage-2.2.0_alpha27, but ... For many packages, portage installs libraries into /usr instead of /usr/lib64 or /usr/lib32 Probably, the function get_libdir (defined in /usr/portage/eclass/multilib.eclass) returns an empty string. Does anybody know, how to recover from this? Many thanks for a hint, Helmut.

[gentoo-user] Emerge server
Hello list, I'm setting my i5 workstation up to be an emerge host to a new Atom N550 box on the LAN. I've created a 32-bit chroot at /mnt/atom on the i5 box, written an init.d script to mount the Atom's whole file system on /mnt/atom/target over NFS, and set an alias tmerj='emerge --root=/target --jobs=5 --keep-going' in /mnt/atom/etc/profile.d/profile_aliases.sh. The Atom box has had nfs-utils installed at an early stage so that the workstation can do all the heavy work. Its /etc/exports file says / 192.168.2.6(sync,rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check This appears to be working, but for an odd wrinkle (and it's too early to declare success of the whole operation). Some packages, such as MySQL, when I've installed them this way have also been installed in parallel on the host machine. At least, that appeared to be happening because for several packages I had one job emerge to /target/ and another emerge without that qualification. Yet when I cat /mnt/atom/var/lib/portage/world, it's empty. How should I interpret this? Have I missed something in the setup? I'm also unsure of the effect of /proc and /sys being nfs-exported from the Atom, so I think I'll make the export a bit more selective (when gentoo-sources have finished being written to disk - it's been about 20 minutes so far). Incidentally, one thing I've noticed is that the final stage of installing gentoo-sources, the writing to disk of all the files, takes many minutes because of the slow 2.5 disk in the Atom box. The rest of the operation, so far, is pleasingly quick - much better than building natively on the Atom. -- Rgds Peter

[gentoo-user] the best filesystem for server: XFS or JFS (or?)
Hi, I'm looking for the best filesystem for a small multi-purpose server with a couple of services running (ftp, web, mail, mysql).

For me very important features are: Now without trying to start flame-war, my question is: which of them could be better for my need? More stable, more reliable, more efficient, etc. Or should I consider some different filesystem? No easy to answer, jfs and xfs are both good file systems, that's why I am using both on my server at home. JFS on my root partition and backup storage space (250.000 files of all sizes, 900GB) because it uses very little cpu and is very fast. Low cpu usage was important for me, because my backup space is encrypted with cryptsetup/LUKS. On my media storage (recordings, movies, only big files: 500MB to 15GB) I use xfs because of it's delayed allocation which helps to avoid fragmentation. With xfs_fsr xfs also brings it's own defragmentation utility. Speedwise I would they that they are both at about the same speed, but I cannot give you exact numbers. xfs however uses more memory (because of the delayed allocation) and if your server suddenly loses power you can lose data.

Jarry In the past, I used many different file systems including JFS, ReiserFS-3, Ext2 and Ext3 but excluding XFS (so I won't say anything on that). Now I only ever use Ext4 except for floppies and USB sticks. JFS is a nice system, especially for larger files and resource constrained servers. However, Ext4 has become so much better than Ext3 in perceived performance (especially when handling large files) that I see no reason to use anything but that. While it is still quiet young, it receives the most testing because it is the de-facto standard on most distributions. I personally never had data loss on Ext*, even when handling with unreliable laptops that kept freezing or producing kernel oops.

It may have changed but that was my experience with XFS. It was fast and nice but it likes normal shutdowns. My anecdotal 2 cents: For JFS, I used it on 2 systems and both were ruined by crash/power-failure, journal replay failed, repair caused millions of of JFS files to be renamed to inode number (or equally as useless filenames). File contents of those were basically okay, but I had no idea what they were or where they came from. Making an index of all files in your system with full path and filename, filesize and hash and storing it on another machine would help to match those files to their original names in the event of a crash. This was about 5 years ago so maybe JFS's crash recovery is more robust now, I don't know because I have avoided it ever since. I used XFS on a drive which had a bad cable and offlined itself in the middle of an operation, it wouldn't mount and fsck didn't fix it, which was scary, but using the xfs tools I was able to repair it enough to mount read-only and copy all my files off to another disk, then replaced the cable and reformatted the bad drive. So XFS got positive marks for being recoverable, negative marks for failing to recover itself. But in the end I was able to get my files in their original names and locations, which was better than JFS. :) Now for the past couple years I use ext4 everywhere and have suffered dozens of crashes and power failures without incident (laptop with dead battery and lack of power management, crazy nvidia-drivers problems on desktop machine, UPS that died during a storm...). For me, ext4 has been unbreakable so far. Fingers crossed. :)
