Re: [Bug 726461] Re: sshd on lucid causes kernel panic

2011-03-18 Thread Alex Harrington
The box messed about again yesterday. This time I was still able to
Ctrl+F1, Ctrl+F2 between terminals but it wouldn't accept any console
input. Nor would it respond to anything except pings on the LAN.

The keyboard Num/Caps/Scroll were flashing on the keyboard. On reset
there doesn't seem to have been a core dump though.

This time OCFS2 was definitely not involved as it wasn't in use at the
time.

It's using the native DLM. However, it's the only node in the cluster.
Our live VM environment is Ubuntu server running KVM and OCFS2 and we
have 2 nodes. This box is just a backup server which takes an lvm2
snapshot of the OCFS2 filesystem, exports it over iSCSI and then as a
separate cluster mounts the filesystem and copies the VM images off.

Re: [Bug 726461] Re: sshd on lucid causes kernel panic

2011-03-03 Thread Alex Harrington
The OCFS2 filesystem is held on an OpenFiler box.

Cluster A is our live VM system with two nodes.
Cluster B is the backup system (the box in question).

Once a week, the OpenFiler box takes an LVM snapshot of the filesystem
normally used by cluster A and exports it as a new iSCSI target.
The backup server, which is the sole member of cluster B then connects
to the new iSCSI target and mounts the OCFS2 filesystem.
It then copies the VM images from inside the OCFS2 filesystem to local disk
It then unmounts the OCFS2 filesystem, disconnects from the iSCSI target.
The OpenFiler box then stops exporting the backup target, and destroys
the snapshot.

So yes, the backup server is using OCFS2 properly, but not in the
production environment cluster since we're dealing with historical
data in the snapshot.

Re: [Bug 726461] Re: sshd on lucid causes kernel panic

2011-03-02 Thread Alex Harrington
 Has every instance of this bug involved ssh in the stack trace?

All the ones we've had to date. I initially thought it was apparmor
related because it mentions memory allocation etc but having removed
the packages and rebuilt initramfs I guess not.

If it happens again from now on, I'll make sure we always get a photo.

 Can you describe the software raid stack in detail?

It's really simple. 4x 2TB drives, each with a 2 partitons, the first
being 2GB and the remainder. sda1 and sdb1 are RAID1 as /boot, sdc1
and sdd1 are RAID1 for swap and the sda2,b2,c2,d2 are RAID5 as /
Currently the / filesystem is about 70% full.

 My first guess would be that OCFS is to blame.  Would it be possible to
 run this server for awhile without it, or is that impossible?  Can you
 either do without the SAN, or mount it as another fs type?

It's not possible really. The machine only mounts a snapshot of our
live SAN via iSCSI once a week to copy over virtual machine images. It
TENDS to lock up at those times, however it's also by far the busiest
time on the box as it'll be running rsnapshot backups at the same time
too. It's not unsual for the box to have 180% IO WAIT across the two
CPUs at those times.

We've put more RAM in the box again this week to see if that solves
it. I'm wondering if it's starting to swap to the point that the box
is getting overloaded. Time will tell if that has any effect. It's
hard because munin gives some idea of things like load/memory usage as
the box loads up, but isn't frequent enough to catch a spike!

Cheers

Alex

[Bug 726461] [NEW] sshd on lucid causes kernel panic

2011-02-28 Thread Alex Harrington
Public bug reported:

I have an HP ML115 running Lucid 64 bit.

It's got 4 2TB Samsung drives in a software RAID 5 and is used to backup
a bunch of servers (using rsnapshot), and also to mount a snapshot of
our SAN (using OCFS2) and copy virtual machine images over.

About once per week it hard locks with the attached messages.

I've tried changing the RAM in the box (went from 2GB to 4GB, both HP
branded sets). I've also removed AppArmor completely, but still get this
message.

This may well be unrelated to sshd, but it seems to be the process
that's listed in the error message as causing the lockup.

After a couple of days with:

ulimit -n 8192

in /etc/defaults/slapd we've not had a recurrence so I'll cautiously say
it looks like that solves it. It's really strange however that adding
the same limit via /etc/security/limits doesn't have the same effect?

Ended up with adding

openldap soft nofile 8096
openldap hard nofile 8096
root soft nofile 8096
root hard nofile 8096

Rebooted. ulimit -a as root/openldap shows the change but still the
system goes unresponsive and I get the too many open files message.

Does anyone have anything else to suggest?

On Dapper however we found that increasing the open files only prolonged

I'm already running the package I compiled up yesterday. I'll let that
run for a few days or until the ldap server stops responding and then
look at changing the limits here too.

[Bug 632314] [NEW] slapd Too many open files

2010-09-07 Thread Alex Harrington
Public bug reported:

I reported this back in 2007 on Dapper and we've been rolling custom
debs since then.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openldap2.2/+bug/164303

Recently we've upgraded to lucid and are having the same issue again.
After a short period of time with heavy load, we get:

Nov 19 10:23:03 core01 slapd[24753]: warning: cannot open
/etc/hosts.deny: Too many open files

We've only got a few thousand users and 700 workstations using the
directory so I can't see why nobody else would be seeing this issue.

Any chance of having the compile options changed on the official package
so that this doesn't happen, or am I facing a further 5 years of rolling
my own every time there's an update?
