| sparky_ | Ok, so I have a raid 5 setup on a 8.04.2 home server. I added another drive to it and it is in the process of reshaping. I have uped the speed_limit_min from 1000K/s to 10000K/s but I only see a raise in speed from 1500K/s to 3700K/s. From what I have found thur google it should have increased alot more the just 1200k/s and I have tried other speeds too (lower and higher values). The max is set at 200000K/s, any sugge | 02:12 |
| giovani3 | maybe your cpu is maxed out? | 02:16 |
| sparky_ | nope, i have ran top and have been watching the cpu and the most usage that happens is about 2 or 3% | 02:17 |
| giovani3 | run "vmstat 5 5" | 02:17 |
| giovani3 | and paste the output at www.pastebin.ca | 02:18 |
| sparky_ | http://www.pastebin.ca/1367716 | 02:19 |
| giovani3 | this is while it's rebuilding raid? | 02:20 |
| sparky_ | correct | 02:20 |
| sparky_ | it has been building for about 24hrs now | 02:20 |
| giovani3 | yeah, honestly, I don't know -- that seems odd, how little disk traffic there is | 02:21 |
| giovani3 | sorry I can't be of more help | 02:21 |
| sparky_ | so vmstat is for diskusage? | 02:21 |
| giovani3 | no, vmstat shows a variety of things, as you can see from the column headers there | 02:22 |
| giovani3 | it shows memory, disk io, cpu usage, etc | 02:22 |
| sparky_ | my raid is reshaping not rebuilding would that matter any? | 02:23 |
| sparky_ | while my raid is reshaping would it be a bad idea to copy files to it, would the reshaping take longer? | 03:12 |
| sparky_ | also, if i shutdown my server in the middle reshaping will it resume reshaping after the start up or will start reshaping from the begining? | 03:13 |
| JanC | it will probably take a little longer | 03:14 |
| JanC | not sure about rebooting while the reshaping is busy though | 03:16 |
| sparky_ | ok, thx | 03:16 |
| AnArrayfulOfPerl | my dns server works fine when i call it by it's internal name but is does not work when i call it by my outside ip address. what's wrong? | 04:22 |
| twb | AnArrayfulOfPerl: why would your DNS server be providing DNS services to the WAN? | 04:33 |
| AnArrayfulOfPerl | cause my domain's registrars' DNS servers ar shitty | 04:36 |
| bitsbam_ | hey all | 06:57 |
| AnArrayfulOfPerl | my dns server works fine when i call it by it's internal name but is does not work when i call it by my outside ip address. what's wrong? | 06:57 |
| bitsbam_ | hey again | 06:59 |
| twb | AnArrayfulOfPerl: I would not expect a DNS server to listen to upstream interfaces. | 07:00 |
| AnArrayfulOfPerl | i mean i am having my modem forward DNS to my server and it does kinda work | 07:01 |
| twb | AnArrayfulOfPerl: what are you actually trying to achieve? | 07:03 |
| AnArrayfulOfPerl | my domain's registrars' DNS servers are shitty and i have a very nice network connection so i would like to host my own DNS server | 07:04 |
| twb | AnArrayfulOfPerl: do you mean hosting a cache of an upstream DNS server, or do you mean hosting the A record for your own machine? | 07:05 |
| AnArrayfulOfPerl | hosting the A record for my own machine | 07:05 |
| twb | I don't know why you'd bother. Just use zonedit or dyndns or whatever. | 07:06 |
| AnArrayfulOfPerl | because i already have a domain and i don't want to have to pay for DNS | 07:06 |
| twb | zoneedit claims to be gratis for the first few domains. | 07:08 |
| bitsbam_ | hey all | 07:08 |
| AnArrayfulOfPerl | k, i never have heard of zonedit | 07:09 |
| timburke | everydns also works nicely | 07:09 |
| AnArrayfulOfPerl | k | 07:09 |
| timburke | run by the same guy who started opendns | 07:09 |
| AnArrayfulOfPerl | i wuv opendns | 07:09 |
| bitsbam_ | i use zoneedit | 07:09 |
| bitsbam_ | never had a complaint | 07:09 |
| bitsbam_ | how long can a MySQL replication slave be down before it might be a problem re-syncing with the master? | 07:11 |
| twb | Dunno; I tend to prefer postgres or, for toys, sqlite. You could try #mysql. | 07:12 |
| bitsbam_ | right, will do | 07:12 |
| BentFranklin | 3:45 I have Kubuntu 8.10. I want shell scripts to be able to send emails. Do I need sendmail? What else? | 07:48 |
| twb | BentFranklin: you need a mail transport agent. | 07:49 |
| BentFranklin | Hi twb! | 07:49 |
| BentFranklin | Ok, all I need is the client stuff. The mails erver is one my ISP | 07:49 |
| BentFranklin | Maybe I just install Thunderbird? I suppose there is a way to control it from command line. | 07:51 |
| ropetin | You can use Mutt to send E-Mails from the CLI, might do what you want | 07:52 |
| twb | BentFranklin: thunderbird is an MUA, not an MTA. | 07:52 |
| AnArrayfulOfPerl | Telnet and google ;-) | 07:53 |
| twb | In theory, MUAs are not supposed to speak SMTP natively; they are supposed to rely on an MTA on the localhost to accept and relay the mail. | 07:53 |
| twb | Unfortunately Outlook and friends have started a trend of doing SMTP inside the MUA, meaning that only end users (and not scripts) can send mail. | 07:54 |
| ropetin | But any modern MUA does talk SMTP, even Mutt these days | 07:54 |
| AnArrayfulOfPerl | Telnet and google | 07:54 |
| twb | This is particularly bad if e.g. SMART or cron errors rely on emailing you to notify you of problems. | 07:54 |
| ropetin | AnArrayfulOfPerl: mailfrom:<me@myserver.com> ? | 07:54 |
| BentFranklin | Yes, I want messages from cron jobs | 07:54 |
| ropetin | rcpt to: :) | 07:55 |
| AnArrayfulOfPerl | yes | 07:55 |
| ropetin | Old school :) | 07:55 |
| twb | AnArrayfulOfPerl: you cannot use netcat (or if you really insist, telnet) to inject mail into gmail unless you can speak SSL by hand. | 07:55 |
| twb | BentFranklin: you will want to install an MTA, then. This will provide a file /usr/sbin/sendmail which scripts will use to forward mail to the appropriate person. | 07:56 |
| twb | Of the two MTAs in the `main' category, I would recommend postfix over exim4. | 07:56 |
| AnArrayfulOfPerl | Sorry i've not been in serverey stuff for a looooooooooong time think perl 2 ;) | 07:56 |
| BentFranklin | So, sendmail is an email server? Or do I tell it the IP of my SMTP server? Or both? | 07:58 |
| ropetin | No love for qmail? :) | 07:58 |
| AnArrayfulOfPerl | more like qfail | 07:58 |
| twb | BentFranklin: I don't know what an "email server" is. | 07:58 |
| twb | BentFranklin: sendmail is a mail transport agent (MTA). All Unix MTAs provide a file "/usr/sbin/sendmail", which bears only historical ties to the sendmail MTA. | 07:59 |
| ropetin | BentFranklin: the problem is most people these days don't understand really how email works, so the idea of an 'email server' isn't really valid | 07:59 |
| BentFranklin | Interesting... | 08:00 |
| twb | BentFranklin: you probably want to configure your MTA to forward all outbound mail to a "smart host", and to not accept inbound mail at all. | 08:00 |
| twb | BentFranklin: that "smart host" will be your ISP or company mail server. | 08:00 |
| ropetin | AnArrayfulOfPerl: I agree with the qfail comment, but I spent so long supporting it I know bunches of little tricks for it, so it ends up being easier for me to use than postfix | 08:00 |
| ropetin | exim gave me hives just reading about it, so I never really tried it | 08:01 |
| BentFranklin | I'm going to try postfix. | 08:21 |

| orudie | i removed the user | 15:41 |
| orudie | but i guess not entlirely ? | 15:41 |
| giovani3 | I guess not ... why did the user exist in the first place? | 15:41 |
| orudie | because this is the second time i'm following this guide | 15:41 |
| orudie | remember ? | 15:41 |
| orudie | i had problems before | 15:41 |

| giovani3 | any results? | 15:43 |
| orudie | yeah shows system user | 15:44 |

| l337ingDisorder | Can anyone help? I'm running ubuntu server and I've installed the partimage-server package. Everything works when I run it manually, but I'd like to have it automatically run on startup. I can find how-to's for running on startup for gnome, but with ubuntu server there's no gnome.. Does anyone know how to auto-run a program with the command-line-only Ubuntu Server? | 16:15 |
| ivoks | l337ingDisorder: /etc/rc.local is your friend | 16:16 |
| l337ingDisorder | awesome, thanks :) | 16:16 |
| l337ingDisorder | and that'll run even if no one has logged in yet? | 16:16 |
| orudie | ivoks, hi my friend | 16:16 |
| ivoks | l337ingDisorder: open it and read it :) | 16:16 |
| l337ingDisorder | ivoks: Hmm.. seems to imply that runs at the END of the runlevel.. I need this to run when the system starts up, not when someone logs out | 16:17 |
| l337ingDisorder | not when someone logs in either, just when the system first starts up | 16:17 |
| ivoks | l337ingDisorder: so, you really don't know what runlevel is, right? | 16:18 |
| ivoks | linux has runlevels | 16:18 |
| ivoks | 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 | 16:18 |
| ivoks | 0 is shutdown | 16:18 |
| l337ingDisorder | well I have a vague understanding.. runlevel 0 = off, 1 = root, etc | 16:18 |
| ivoks | 1 is single user | 16:18 |
| ivoks | 6 is reboot | 16:18 |
| orudie | ivoks, http://pastebin.com/m439715da | 16:18 |
| ivoks | others are available for customization | 16:18 |
| ivoks | to make story short, user can't even login before the end of runlevel | 16:19 |
| ivoks | so, /etc/rc.local is really what you want | 16:19 |
| l337ingDisorder | but I would tend to think the "end" of the runlevel would be when the system finishes that runlevel (ie, if I was logged in as runlevel 5, which I believe is standard, then that runlevel would end when I log out). Is that incorrect? | 16:19 |
| orudie | ivoks, chown: invalid user: `clamav:adm' | 16:19 |
| ivoks | l337ingDisorder: you don't log into runlevel | 16:19 |
| ivoks | runlevel runs | 16:20 |
| ivoks | ends and then users can login | 16:20 |
| l337ingDisorder | ahh ok | 16:20 |
| ivoks | check /etc/rc2.d/ | 16:20 |
| l337ingDisorder | thanks :) | 16:20 |
| ivoks | 2 is default runlevel in ubuntu | 16:20 |
| ivoks | when everything from /etc/rc2.d/ is finished, users can log in | 16:20 |
| ivoks | notice that last is 'starting rc.local' | 16:20 |
| l337ingDisorder | last question.. if I want to execute something with rc.local do I need 'exec' at the beginning of the line? | 16:21 |
| ivoks | no | 16:23 |
| orudie | ivoks, do you feel like helping today ? | 16:24 |
| ivoks | 'ivoks, do you feel like doing my job?' | 16:25 |
| orudie | lol | 16:25 |
| orudie | i just need to set it up and forget about it | 16:25 |
| ivoks | that's worst thing you can do | 16:26 |
| ivoks | so,you don't want antivirus,but still, you install it | 16:26 |
| ivoks | why? | 16:26 |
| orudie | i mean for forget about it for now | 16:26 |
| orudie | i dont know if i need antivirus for mail | 16:27 |
| l337ingDisorder | ivoks: thanks eh! | 16:27 |
| ivoks | well, do you get viruses over email? | 16:28 |
| orudie | but surely spamassassin i need to have set up | 16:28 |
| ivoks | fighting spam is more complex than just installing spamassassin | 16:29 |
| orudie | i would imagine | 16:29 |
| orudie | so should I go on with the guide ? | 16:30 |
| ivoks | yes | 16:30 |
| orudie | next command is this sudo apt-get install dkim-filter python-policyd-spf | 16:30 |
| orudie | should i run it ? i'm afraid its gonna give an error i tried it before | 16:31 |
| ivoks | well, you didn't finish installing amavis and clamv | 16:32 |
| ivoks | people don't read these days? | 16:32 |
| orudie | ivoks, i'm just really stuck | 16:32 |
| orudie | this stuff is totally new to be but yet it needs to get set up | 16:33 |

| roy_hobbs | Is it possible to have your MTA (postfix) and MDA (dovecot) on separate machines? Or in general does every MDA need at least a simple MTA on the same machine? | 16:41 |
| ivoks | sure they can be on different machines | 16:42 |
| ivoks | but you should somehow deliver mail to another machine | 16:42 |
| ivoks | you can use MTA for that, or on a lower level, NFS/DRBD | 16:43 |
| roy_hobbs | You mean mount the mailstore from the MDA on the MTA? | 16:43 |
| ivoks | yes | 16:43 |

| orudie | not sure if spam is blocked though | 17:24 |
| ivoks | orudie: check the source of the mail | 17:24 |
| ivoks | orudie: headers | 17:24 |
| ivoks | it should have 'X-Virus-Scanned' header | 17:25 |
| ivoks | and that's very basic anti-spam | 17:25 |
| ivoks | anyway, i'm leaving now | 17:26 |
| orudie | ivoks, wait bro how do i check the source ? | 17:26 |
| orudie | you mean html source ? | 17:26 |
| ivoks | mail isn't html | 17:27 |
| moz_ | ivoks: typical it works! but i'll leave this log open no doubt it'll go wrong soon | 17:28 |
| orudie | ivoks, http://pastebin.com/m2540ae90 | 17:28 |
| ivoks | orudie: follow the guide | 17:30 |
| ivoks | Troubleshooting | 17:30 |
| orudie | ok i will, how does main.cf look though ? | 17:31 |
| orudie | i think im getting that error because i didnt add $myhostname = 'mail.example.com' to /etc/amavis/conf.d/50-user file | 17:33 |
| ivoks | omg | 17:34 |
| ivoks | If you see the following error in /var/log/syslog when amavisd is trying to scan a message: | 17:34 |
| orudie | ? | 17:34 |
| orudie | thats the reason ? | 17:35 |

| supertanker | Hey, this is more of a sort of linux 'theory' question...should my little Ubuntu server have Make and such on it so I can, say, compile an ircd? | 20:52 |
| p_quarles | supertanker: well, yes, if you need to compile things, you need the build-utils; that's not really theory | 20:53 |
| andol | supertanker: Just install it when/if you need it. build-essential is a convienient meta-packages. | 21:03 |
| supertanker | Thanks | 21:03 |
| Noah0504 | Eh, can anyone help me out with Samba? I've been able to configure it in the past, but I was trying to make it a little more secure, but all of the documentation I read is a little confusing. | 21:07 |
| zox | Noah0504: i might help if you specify the exact problem :-) | 21:28 |
| supertanker | Wow, andol, build-essential *really* is convenient! Thanks | 21:29 |
| storrgie | would anyone know about smart monitoring in linux? | 21:32 |
| MianoSM | sourceforge has some good info | 21:33 |
| storrgie | MianoSM: i saw one on there that was a boot utility... i want to be able to check on a booted up machine... have a big array I would like to be checking. | 21:34 |
| Noah0504 | zox: Well, I used to just have one share that had different folders in it for people or things around the house. I started looking into sharing home directories, which appears to work on my Mac, but Windows won't let me log in. Also, I need to make a share that is basically public for my media center. | 21:36 |
| zox | Noah0504: you can user security as 'user' and use [private] and [public] sections, thats how i setup my samba server | 21:48 |
| Noah0504 | zox: I have that set up for home shares right now. I can log in perfectly on my Mac, but Windows isn't having it. Also, how do I set permissions for a public share? | 21:49 |
| zox | Noah0504: guest only = yes; guest ok = yes and you must also specify the guest account in [global] section and also that user must have write permissions to the path | 21:52 |
| Noah0504 | Ah, okay. Well, I'll keep going at it. I think I'm getting close to accomplishing everything now. | 21:53 |
| Noah0504 | Thanks. | 21:53 |
| zox | np, hope it works if not let us know.. if we can we will help out | 21:54 |
