fabbionedavekempe: just ask...02:51
fabbionesomebody might answer02:51
=== mgalvin [n=mgalvin@ubuntu/member/mgalvin] has joined #ubuntu-server
davekempehey fabbione - thanks for all your hard work btw03:20
fabbionethanks03:20
fabbionedavekempe: ask your question? :)03:20
fabbionei did play a bit with lvm snapshotting03:20
davekempei am just having general troubles with performing lvm snapshots when a server is under heavy load. using breezy with xen 3.0.0 kernel and packages03:20
fabbioneso i migth be able to answer03:20
davekempei get memory errors and lockups on removing the lvm snapshot03:21
fabbionewe don't support xen sorry03:21
davekempelvremove hangs indefinitely03:21
davekempeyeah i know03:21
fabbionethere were a lot of bugfixes in dapper for snapshots03:21
fabbioneyou really want to try to upgrade03:21
davekempeyeah i upgraded one of my machines to dapper with the debian 2.6.16 kernel today and lvm snapshot seemed to behave better03:22
davekempeso thats basically it...03:22
davekempeI figured it was going to be upgrade to dapper - not that i mind03:22
davekempejust wanted a second opinion03:22
fabbionethere was a bug where doing a lot snapshots in sequence was giving problems03:23
fabbionethat's how i got to test it03:23
fabbionehigh load and blablabla03:23
davekempeahh03:23
fabbionewe had to upgrade to lvm2 2.0.somethingmorenewthanwehad03:23
davekempeyeah this machine was rsyncing off an lvm snapshot and the next snapshot hung03:24
davekempeyeah 2.0.2 i think03:24
davekempefixes it03:24
fabbioneyeah something like that03:24
fabbionebut .15 is good enough to do the job03:24
fabbioneno need of .1603:24

beezlyslowly - right now, i'm just looking at what the impacts of running /etc over bzr are11:53
beezlyi'd like to get dpkg to do a bzr commit after it makes changes, but i don't think there's a low-impact way of doing that - i suspect it needs changes to dpkg.11:53
infinitybeezly: If you always use apt, you can do it in an apt post-run hook, but there's no sane way to do it in dpkg itself, no.12:01

mgalvinfabbione: hey04:45
mgalvindid you happen to get to read that email the other day?04:46
fabbionemgalvin: yes but i am quite busy with the release now04:48
fabbionealso some of the info you are asking are kind of company only04:48
mgalvinfabbione: i understand, was just wondering about a few things since the meeting is coming up04:49
fabbione1 and 2 i can't answer04:49
fabbione3) yes, everything that is supported by a FC-HBA controller should work. I am using Emulex controllers here in my house with an old SAN system.04:49
fabbione4) The suite is tested. i do the tests personally. got bugs and fixed them from other users (positive reports from upstream too about our packaging).04:50
fabbioneGFS is part of tests of 404:51
fabbioneOCFS2 is integrated into 4) and it works04:51
fabbionealso there.. good test reports from upstream04:52
fabbionenot just us04:52
fabbionelet me slam this in the email04:52
mgalvincool, that should be good enough for now... the CIO really just wants to hear some one else (in addition to me) say this stuff works04:52
mgalvinthanks a lot fabbione04:53
fabbionewell i did the packaging..04:53
fabbioneand tested them04:53
fabbioneif that's enough....04:53
mgalvinwhen you refer to upstream, does that mean redhat?04:53
fabbionefor the cluster suite and GFS I mean some of the upstream developers of the suite (ex sistina) that now work for RH04:54
fabbionefor OCFS2 i mean a couple of developers that works on it04:55
mgalvink cool04:55
fabbionebut it's not like you will write at info@redhat.com and get these information04:55
mgalvini know :)04:55
fabbioneok04:55
fabbionejust that we understand eachother04:55
mgalvinyup04:55
mgalvinhopefully jane will be able to get back to me before the meeting, the CIO is actually more interested in some success stories... but this info you are giving me certainly helps too :)04:56
fabbionejust to make it clear.. i don't know the answer to 1) and 2)04:57
fabbionesometimes there are success stories that are not our customers04:57
mgalvinyea, i know, no prob, mdz seemed to think jane might be able to help us there, no worries04:58
fabbioneok04:58
mgalvinthanks again... i'll let you get back to work :)04:58
fabbionei am not worried04:58
fabbioneyour CIO is welcome to contact me for more tech info if he wants them04:58
mgalvink cool, i will let him know you offered04:58
fabbionemgalvin: or show him my office: http://people.ubuntu.com/~fabbione/office/04:58
fabbionethat's where the cluster suite is packaged and tested04:59

thefishanyone got any opinions on which to use between xen and vmware-server?06:22
beezlythefish: imho, xen is more elegant, if you can do it. vmware-server is easy.06:23
spikethefish: considering vmware-server is vmware playground released with the only intention to not lose too much visibility with Xen increased populatiry, Xen.06:24
beezlyi would go with Xen too, assuming you can06:24
thefishmmm06:24
thefishi have only used vmware, and its as easy as peeing into a well, tried xen ages ago and pulled a lot of hair, i guess it has got a bit easier though06:25
spikevmware-server is and always will be "beta". Xen is meant to be run in production06:25
thefishwhats it like to install on ubuntu?06:25
beezlyspike: is that true?06:25
spikebeezly: it is06:25
beezlymy understanding is that vmware server is to replace vmware GSX06:25
thefishthey recon on their site that Q2 will be final for vmware server, and they will start selling support and maintenance for it06:26
thefishbeezly: thats what vmware.com says06:26
beezlythefish: that's my understanding too06:26
=== beezly nods at thefish
thefishi like the idea of xen though, a lot of good hackers working on it06:26
thefishbut i dont want a server to go down and not have a clue about where to start06:26
beezlythefish: xen is architecturally much better. it has far lower overhead than vmware.06:27
thefishiirc xen vms are moveable to other hosts?06:27
spikespeaking f overhead, I like openVZ06:27
beezlythefish: yes - whilst keeping them running06:27
thefishthat is sexy06:27
spikethefish: as long as they are on the same subnet, yes06:27
thefishk06:27
beezlyi'm not familiar with openvz06:27
thefishswsoft/plesk product no?06:27
spikebeezly: well, when it comes to overhead, the point is you're not running a kernel per guest, which saves a lot06:28
spikebut architecturally it's completely different, sw Vs hw virtualization06:29
beezlyspike: ah, I see.. it's quite like Solaris Zones.06:29
spikeyes, exactly06:29
spikeabout the vmware-server, when it came out afaik it wasnt planned to replae GSX afaik, things might have changed, yet I hardly believe it will ever properly supported06:31
thefishapparently there are some nice new cpus coming out with much more support for virtualising on i38606:31
beezlythefish: that's true - both AMD and Intel have chips coming along (I think they are due this year) with instructions to support virtualisation.06:32
beezlyi'm not too sure what the impact of that is though.06:32
thefishrunning windows in xen06:32
thefishwithout modification06:32
spikeunmodified guests06:33
beezlyi'm aware of that, but i'm unsure how it achieves that. I've not looked into it that much06:34

infinitygpd: Changing that from a hardlink to a symlink should solve the problem.07:52
infinitygpd: I can't test that locally, though.07:52

fabbionegpd: right...07:57
gpdis /var/run mounted as varrun a recent idea?07:57

fabbionewhat i don't understand is why gpd keeps having varrun fs07:58
fabbioneit was changed back to tmpfs naming, wasn't it?07:59

infinitygpd: /var/run on tmpfs makes sense for a varienty of reasons.  It's just a bit of a pain to have to transition everything, that's all.  And this corner case is a fun one we didn't spot.  That's all.08:01

infinityWhat's responsible for doing the above linking magic?08:08
infinityOh, a HOWTO... We don't ship it like this?08:08
gpdi had to add it manually to /etc/init.d/courier-authdaemon08:08
gpdcorrect08:08
gpdthis is to allow courier to work with chroot postfix (which you do ship as)08:09
infinityOkay, I see in the howto, lots of ln magic.08:09
gpdi would probably not worry too much for the release08:09
infinityYou'd probably get away with circumventing all of that (for courier, mysql, etc), by just bindmounting /var/run to /var/spool/postfix/var/run08:09
gpdi was just encouraged to post the bug08:09
gpdyou might be right!08:10
