ensevenHi! I've got a question about redhat cluster in ubuntu kernel.05:00
ensevenIn linux-source-2.6.15 there is a subdir "cluster" and in .config there is CLUSTER, CLUSTER_DLM, CLUSTER_DLM_PROCLOCKS. Where have they gone in linux-source-2.6.20 ?05:03
=== tuxmaniac [n=aanjhan@unaffiliated/tuxmaniac] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
zulubuntu/ directory I think05:07
ensevenNo, there is no "cluster" in ubuntu/.05:14
ensevenIs there a patch to apply redhat cluster to ubuntu kernel 2.6.20?05:15
fabbioneenseven: no... but the cluster is all there05:15
fabbioneenseven: most of the modules have kernel modules are now userland05:15
fabbioneenseven: only gfs2/gfs1 and dlm kernel modules are required05:16
fabbionedlm/gfs2 is from upstream.. so in fs/05:16
fabbionegfs1 is in ubuntu/fs/05:16
fabbioneenseven: also note that gfs2 is still eXPERIMENTAL and not ready for production05:16
ensevenfabbione: Is there cman, too? Or is it obsolete?05:18
fabbionecman -> userland05:20
ensevenIf I change from 2.6.15 -> 2.6.20, do I need new redhat-cluster-suite? Newer than 1.20060222-0ubuntu6?05:26

fabbioneenseven: yes05:33
fabbioneenseven: you will need the very latest from feisty05:34
ensevenOk, I'm going to try that. Thanx.05:36
fabbioneenseven: you will need heaps of Depends backported05:36
fabbionei am not sure it's worth the trouble05:36
fabbionesome of them might not even build in dapper05:36
fabbioneand i won't be able to support you05:36
fabbioneenseven: what's the reason why you want .20 anyway?05:37
ensevenOhh, not so easy as I thougt?!05:37
fabbioneno it's not easy05:37
fabbioneif you already have a cluster running, you will need to fix the configuration too05:38
ensevenI have got a problem with GFS and Samba. So I wanted to find out if it is still there in .20.05:38
fabbioneenseven: understood05:39
ensevenThe problem is not real bad, but it is uncomfortable.05:39
fabbionewhat kind of problem are you seeing?05:39
fabbionehow many nodes are in the cluster?05:40
fabbione(also.. #linux-cluster here might be better help if it's an upstream issue)05:40
=== bleinmono [n=toffel@ppp91-76-72-240.pppoe.mtu-net.ru] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
ensevenI have a samba share with acls on gfs. When I change attributes of a directory from a windows client, I get am error message: Access denied! But then the changes are applied when I cancel.05:42
fabbionehmm interesting05:42
ensevenThis does not happen with files and it does only happen with gfs, not with ext3.05:43
fabbionei can't see anything in the cvs changelog related to samba05:45
fabbioneif the cluster is only 2 nodes, you can perhaps stop the cluster, make one node feisty and see05:45
fabbionemake it feisty with a spare disk or something along the line05:45
fabbionejust for testing05:45
fabbioneit's probably faster than backporting the * for testing05:45
=== pmjdebruijn [n=pmjdebru@pmjdebruijn.xs4all.nl] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
=== fabbione -> afk
ensevenfabbione: It is a 3 node cluster, but I could stop the cluster, make one node feisty and then say cman_tool expect -e 1 to run the services with one node only05:49
ensevenbtw: it is a virtual machine so spare disks are no problem.05:50

bdmurrayBenC: Have you seen any PS2 mouse bugs like 108350?06:26

bdmurrayBenC: I tested on one system here and didn't have an issue06:30
BenCps2 is so basic, I can't understand it having problems06:30
rohhm... are there any known ext3-issues with recent feisty kernels or anything that would break a fs on blocklevel? i'm on a TP60p here. 100gb sata on ahci at ICH706:42
johanbrroh: There were a few bugs like that, but I think they were fixed in the final Feisty kernel.06:52
rohjohanbr i installed with the beta 2 days before the release and everythin was quite fine. yesterday midday i shut down the note cleanly and stashed it away. in the evening the X11 didn't come up because of something not writeable and the kernel trew some kind of hci/usb errors. then i rebootet cleanly and it came up without its rootfs ... it sayd "#fragments of group too big" and mount failed with invalid argument06:56
rohcurrently i'm typing this with an edgy bootcd since the initrd of feisty didn't bring me fsck, and the hw is working fine (fresh lenovo T60p (8741-J3G))06:57
johanbrroh: Probably this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/8231407:00
rohfsck couln't find the superblock/meant it is corrupted. fsck -n -v on the fs ran through in about 100minutes so i started it without -n... since then i'm waiting for it to finish (> 15h now)07:00
johanbrOuch.07:01
=== m0rg0th [n=manugarg@219.64.120.181] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
rohi gave it the second superblock which it accepted. just now it takes for ages and spits out zillions of multiply-claimed blocks in multiple files07:02
rohjohanbr the disk i'm working on with that fs is sda via ahci. no pata. native sata07:02
rohalso ich7 chipsel, no via in thinkpads07:05
johanbrroh: I'm not sure, but it's possible the problem is with drives with hpa in general, not just pata.07:05
rohwhat does hpa exactly do? i deactivated all that rescue-foo in the bios and used the whole disc.07:06
johanbrhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Host_Protected_Area07:07
rohuh.. shouln't the bios switch that off completely as soon as i disable the rescue-foo and make it visible?07:10
=== sdrik` [n=sdrik@ip-93-4.dsl.newel.net] has joined #ubuntu-kernel

rohany idea how to check if that is indeed the cause of my problem?07:12
johanbrTry the release kernel and see if you get any corruption. :)07:13
rohgood joke. i do not have any other (free) 2.5" sata disks left07:16
roh*sigh* .. as more i read about hpa and "rescue" s_it as more i feel the sudden urge to burn some companys to the ground...07:23
johanbrroh: If there's nothing important on the disk, it's probably easiest just to reformat, reinstall the final Feisty release and play with it for a while.07:37
rohi have to check first what i moved and what i copied from the old disk (had a dapper on t60 before) but i have to give that machine back soon (old bosses(07:39
rohuh.. fsck is still continuing and making progress... 77% it sayd... if that runs through and i do not loose this install i will propably use ext based fs till i die %-] 08:13

joebakerI have a laptop which only has the max RAM capacity of 192mb.  I'd like it to be able to access RAM in a server as swap over ethernet?11:06
joebakerI know the LTSP project has been swapping over Ethernet to server disk space for years and that they've recently changed to something called ltspfs.  Yet I see this as beneficial to more than just thin clients.11:08
=== cjwatson [n=cjwatson@82-69-40-219.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
el_ismaIs it really that fast over disk swap?11:08
h4wk0From my opinion - I dont think it will!11:09
alienSkullwell you would need to compare gigabit ethernet with harddrive IO speeds right?11:11
h4wk0extensive benchmarking will be needed11:11
BenCjoebaker: I've heard that nbd (network block device) can be used for swap11:12
alienSkullif the speeds do turn out in its favor I think it would have great applications in thin clients11:12
