by aurfalien 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Hi, I've an existing XFS file system which also contains its journal. I would like to create a mirrored set of separate drives to hold an XFS journal. Is it possible to move the internal journal to an external location or must I re create the file system and specify the journal then? - aurf

rsync - why not copying all files?
by Robert Moskowitz 14 Apr '13

14 Apr '13

I am doing a new setup, got most of the files in place from other places and then ran my rsync backup from the command line before putting it in crontab. Here is the rsync: rsync -ah --stats --delete /home/ /mnt/sdc1/backups/homebase/home Note that the directory ..../homebase/home did not exist prior to this command; it created it. So here are the stats: Number of files: 6190 Number of files transferred: 5944 Total file size: 4.25G bytes Total transferred file size: 4.25G bytes Literal data: 4.25G bytes Matched data: 0 bytes File list size: 263.95K File list generation time: 0.001 seconds File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds Total bytes sent: 4.25G Total bytes received: 113.93K sent 4.25G bytes received 113.93K bytes 29.60M bytes/sec total size is 4.25G speedup is 1.00 Why would files transferred be less than the number of files? For example, is there some option I need to move hidden files? I do not believe there are any symlinks under /home. Thanks for any help in puzzling this out. I would be greatly upset if some key file was not being backed up.

OpenVPN routing question
by Boris Epstein 14 Apr '13

14 Apr '13

Hello all, Let's say I have an OpenVPN (v2) server sitting on a Linux machine with the IP address of, say, 192.168.10.1o. We are talking real address, assigned to a NIC on the machine. Now let us say the OpenVPN server hands out IP's in the 192.168.20.0/24range. And let us say that I want the machines able to reach the VPN server to be able to route to the machines available via the VPN. So, for instance, 192.168.10.5 should be able to ping 192.168.20.6 assuming the latter is one of the VPN clients. So here is my question: is there a VPN setting that would facilitate that? It seems like is is trivial enough to allow the VPN clients to route out through the VPN server - but trying to facilitate the reverse I got stuck. Thanks in advance for any help. Cheers, Boris.

How to determine why a server is not responding
by nan del bosc 13 Apr '13

13 Apr '13

Hi to all! We're using CentOS 5.5 64bits for our Plesk 11. This week we had the following problem 3 times... Suddenly, the server stops responding in all services (SSH, Apache, Postfix, ...) but ping works! After wait a few minutes (or 2 hours some times) the server continues unresponsive until we reboot. After reboot we search on /var/log/messages but cannot find useful information...

xfsaild causing load, and stuck in D state - Centos 6.4 x64
by Svavar Örn Eysteinsson 13 Apr '13

13 Apr '13

PowerEdge 2850 with PERC SCSI RAID controller. 16GB RAM Dual Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.00GHz Using megaraid driver and xfs on 3x 300GB SCSI disks as /dev/sdb (total 572GB) (RAID-5) Stock Centos 6.4 x64, everything updated. Kernel : 2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP My Load always shows : top - 10:30:21 up 23:09, 1 users, load average: 0.99, 0.96, 0.79 yet there is no services what-so-ever doing anything. Using PowerTOP I can see that xfsaild is causing second most wake-ups (after kernel core : hrtimer_start (tick_sched_timer) ) < Detailed C-state information is not P-states (frequencies) 3.00 Ghz 100.0% 1500 Mhz 0.0% 1125 Mhz 0.0% 750 Mhz 0.0% 375 Mhz 0.0% Wakeups-from-idle per second : 125.1 interval: 10.0s no ACPI power usage estimate available Top causes for wake-ups: 47.7% (119.6) <kernel core> : hrtimer_start (tick_sched_timer) 39.9% (100.0) xfsaild/sdb1 : xfsaild (process_timeout) Again, using TOP I can see that xfsaild is stuck in D state. It never changes. 10050 root 20 0 0 0 0 D 0.0 0.0 0:01.17 xfsaild/sdb1 My only way to fix this, is either rebooting the machine, unmounting the volume and mounting it back online. I've been rsyncing data twice between this server and another one. The rsync process takes about 30m-1hour. After the rsync operation I see that the xfsaild is stuck in D State and my Load is near 1.00. I'v had no problem what-so-ever on centos 6.3 or early versions on other servers. Any thoughts ? Information, help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Best regards, Svavar

We build a storage unit that anyone using Centos can build. It is based on the 3ware 9750-16 controller. It has 16 x 2 TB Sata 6 gb/s disks. We always set it up as a 15 disk RAID 6 array and a hot spare. We have seen multiple instances were the A/C has gone off but the customer's UPS kept the systems running for an hour or two with no cooling. Once the ambient temperature goes above 40C you are stressing all the disks in the array. I ramble about this BECAUSE we have seen many RAID 5 arrays fail while rebuilding with a hot spare and then loose all the data. The chances of this happening on a R6 array are much much lower. Now for performance numbers: 550 MB/SEC on writes and 1150 MB/SEC on reads. A unit like this can support any type of I/O you want to put into it as Centos will usually either have thedrivers built in or you can add then easily. Also the rebuild time for a 50 TB array is about 12 hours while the array is in use and online. But during this time there is little or no degradation in performance. The down side is the cost of the controller. If anyone has questions about this I would be glad to answer them off line : at seth at integratedsolutions dot org.
