It notes that a spare partition will only be used if a active devices fails.... I only have 2 Hard drives installed (both 100Gb) but I can free up another HD in about 14 days.... Do I need to have a spare? If so can I lie to the system and say [19:48] 2 active and 1 spare and then just add the spare later?

[20:02] ool [20:02] I was going to use ext3 [20:02] but could change that now if you recommended something better [20:03] <_ruben> jph_: never bothered with disk quotas myself [20:04] humm ok well thanks [20:04] jph_: you could try using lvm [20:08] do you have a partitioning schema you would recommend (I miss typed when i said 100Gb I have 120Gb HDs).... any thoughts on how I should cut that up [20:09] if you go for lvm, make a 100 mb partition for /boot, then use the remainder for lvm [20:10] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_Volume_Manager_%28Linux%29 [20:12] I was just (still am) reading this http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-lvm/ is this source just as good, should i read the other? [20:13] yours is more in-depth [20:13] the wiki is just an overview of what lvm is [20:16] Ok I skimmed both, and your saying make a 100Mb for /boot and then make the rest of the HD a 119.90Gb lvm partition... Right? [20:18] jph_: yeah, use the remaining 119 gb for lvm [20:18] and create lvm logical partitions for you mount points [20:18] http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ [20:18] that is extremely verbose on how to do lvm [20:19] and if i mess up guessing how big to make each logical partition i can just resize them? [20:19] essentially [20:20] I have to make sure today because i will be on the road in 24hours and have to start this development via SSH... so thank you for taking the time to explain things i would normally read myself [20:20] resizing might require a resize2fs command for ext2/3 filesystems [20:21] what about ext4? [20:21] essentially what using lvm does is bypasses the partition table. Whereas previously you would need to use parted or something similar to resize partitions, you can use lvm tools instead [20:22] which won't require a reboot to re-read the partition table [20:22] great that sounds like what i need on this project.... ok is your 100mb recommendation considered "over kill or just right or bare min" [20:22] overkill [20:22] you can get by with 10-20 mb of /boot if you really want [20:22] I try to use 100 [20:23] I've actually maxed-out 100MB on /boot before [20:23] though for Ubuntu, it seems okay. [20:23] mushroomtwo: I don't have any experience with ext4 [20:23] eh. it'll probably work. [20:24] it depends on the implementation [20:24] ext3 is just ext2 with a journal [20:24] are there any GTK+/Qt apps to handle partitioning/resizing in lvm? [20:24] mushroomtwo: LVM Manager [20:25] hummmm ok so what if i play it really safe and go with 500Mb.... What file system should that be? [20:25] mushroomtwo: iirc gparted is supposed to have LVM support either now or very soon. [20:25] ext3? [20:27] jph_: your boot partition doesn't need to be that big, but ext3 is fine [20:27] jph_: you just need to stay away from filesystems which the grub version you install may not support (e.g. reiser4, xfs, jfs....) [20:29] if you use ext3, make sure to add "noatime" to the line in fstab [20:29] otherwise, use ext2 [20:30] generally, I also include "noauto", because I don't want the partition being mounted unless I'm doing a kernel update. [20:30] ymmv [20:30] so select 'noatime' and deselect "relatime' [20:31] yeah. [20:31] unless you're ultra-paranoid about your system being compromised, it's okay to let the partition be mounted at boot. [20:32] especially if you have problems remembering to mount /boot before doing an upgrade. [20:34] ok so if i have it 'noatime' i have to mount it each time i update if i have it as 'relatime' then it auto mounts at boot [20:34] would there be any problems if i have to remotely re-boot the system via ssh? [20:35] no [20:35] mathiaz: have we ever supported Xen officially in -server? [20:35] The only time you would have to mount /boot in mushroomtwo's example is when you do a kernel upgrade [20:35] jcastro: hm... well - no [20:36] jcastro: IIUC in karmic we support officially xen as a guest [20:36] you can use dpkg to hold back your kernel that way all kernel upgrades are completely manual [20:36] and this is a good idea for system security right? [20:36] yeah [20:36] jcastro: as this is what we run in EC2 [20:36] mathiaz: ok I just think this guy is confused (in the virtualization part) http://ubuntu-user.com/Online/Blogs/Marcel-Gagne-Orbiting-Planet-buntu/Sex-Live-and-Virtualization [20:36] jcastro: zul and smoser could probably give you a better answer [20:37] thanks! [20:37] sorry, I tend to default to you for everything. :p [20:37] jcastro: domU yes dom0 no [20:39] jcastro: and domU is supported starting from which release? [20:39] mathiaz: I have no idea! [20:39] jcastro: hm - sorry wrong person [20:40] zul: and domU is supported starting from which release? [20:40] jaunty i think [20:40] When i do all that guys it makes the remaining 119.5GB 'unusable' i have gone back and tried using ext2 and the same thing [20:40] zul: was this because DomU had been merged in mainline? [20:41] mathiaz: yep basically you are on your own for dom0 [20:41] is there anyone that can send the guy an email? If he's writing for a magazine with ubuntu in the title we should make an effort to make sure he's got the right info, right? [20:43] sure soren since he is the virtualization guy [20:43] and he's probably asleep, perfect. === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond [20:44] now i must really be back later [20:44] I also tried setting up my lvm drive first by starting it at the end hoping i could just create the ext2 or ext3 out of what was left... and this makes the 531.4MB left unusable..... [20:44] remember this is a RAID1 [20:45] okay [20:45] so, md0 = /boot? [20:45] or is this fakeraid? [20:46] it is a software RAID setup using the install options [20:46] okay [20:46] so, 500 mb partitions on each drive for md0 [20:46] i followed this http://knowledge76.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Server_Install_With_Software_RAID [20:46] make md0 /boot [20:46] remaining space for md1 [20:47] use md1 as lvm [20:47] which should make the lvm menu available [20:48] I am not at the command line i am still in the installation wizard that you follow when you drop the Ubuntu-server live disk in [20:48] yeah [20:48] so [20:48] at the partition tool [20:48] drive 0: partition 1 = 500 mb [20:48] use as raid [20:49] drive 0: partition 2 = 119.5 gb [20:49] use as raid [20:49] same for drive 1 [20:49] create new raid [20:49] ok sounds like i have to undo the RAID I created... hold on thanks [20:49] md0 = drive 0 part 1 and drive 1 part 2 [20:49] jcastro, zul for the record: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=xen&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all [20:49] erm [20:49] can someone give me the output of mount | grep -i "/dev/" | grep -v "none" | grep -v "pts" | grep -v "tmpfs" [20:49] we did have packages (universe) for xen dom0 in hardy [20:49] md0 = drive 0 part 1 and drive 1 part 1 [20:50] but seemingly also still have those in xen-hypervisor-3.3 [20:50] err... in karmic (xen-hypervisor-3.3) [20:50] create MD Device [20:50] RAID1 [20:50] yep, and use your 500 mb partition on each drive [20:51] afaics there has never been anything in main. but guests on xen (domU) will "just work" because the kernels are pvops enabled [20:51] FFForever: /dev/sda6 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro) [20:51] jph_: You want to take this to PM? [20:51] maybe i'm missing something though [20:51] sure [20:51] thanks [20:51] cool :D, it works right :D [21:15] anyone have a decent howto for openvpn on ubuntu? [21:26] mushroom: I found this to be the best howto for openvpn: http://www.openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html#pki .. I didn't need to mod anything for ubuntu it all worked verbatium from the openvpn guide [21:28] fantastic. the community documentation on ubuntu's site is pretty broken. [21:29] doh [21:39] need some more help, jagged was helping but we ran into a problem now that i have it fixed he has had to leave... I am setting my my first RAID1 system... here is a image of where i am at.. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2494/4012511630_6e26092308.jpg can someone walk me through what if anything i need to do to create lvm logical partitions for the mount points of my filesystem.... [21:40] o by the way i have changed the RAID1 device #0 501.6MB partition to mount at /boot [21:40] from whats in that image [21:42] Anyone? [21:47] <_ruben> "Configure the Logical Volume Manager" .. create a VG containing your md1 as PV .. create a LV for each partition you want to have .. configure each LV (choose filesystem, mountpoint, etc) [21:48] ok hang on let me do that --------Thankyou for stepping in i am on a dead line and need to get this going tonight [21:50] <_ruben> wont be around much longer though, its nearing bedtime ;) [21:50] would you be willing to recommend some partition sizes this will be a basic LAMP server for a small group of people we will latter add a 1TB RAID for media storage [21:51] I have 119.5Gb to work ith [21:51]
