larseniohi everybody14:41
larsenioquestion: i want to mount via fstab an nfs share... but only root can use it. how to mount it for every user using the host user/password?14:43
pmatulislarsenio: did you try the 'user' option in fstab?14:59
MatukuHow do I go about removing a user from a group if that's the only supplemental group they're a member of?16:07
pmatulisMatuku: use the 'usermod' command16:13
Matukupmatulis: I tried that but it doesn't like not having anything after the -G option16:16
pmatulisMatuku: empty quotes?16:17
jtajiMatuku: all users have to be member of at least one group, but it's specified with 'usermod -g GROUP LOGIN'16:18
jtaji-g not -G16:18
jtajiMatuku: default in Ubuntu is to have a group with the same name as the user16:19
Matukujtaji: It's a supplemental group I'm trying to remove the user from16:19
MatukuAh there we go, empty double-quotes did it16:20
MatukuThanks all!16:20
jtajiMatuku: or you can use deluser user group, where group is the group to remove16:20

bericHello. hdparm -t on compaq smartarray raid0 gives onl 19MB/s. it's U320 SCSI. is it a real problem or that hdparm lies ?17:09
qman__beric, either is possible, keep in mind that those numbers are after the current system load17:16
bericqman__: this is a totally idle server i just installed. only ssh server. it's 9.10 64bit17:17
bericSomeone reported the same problems at the forums about his HP cciss but he has no conclusions.17:20
SkaagI am installing Ubuntu 9.10 Server, and I have 3 physical drives17:30
SkaagHow do I Raid5 them the easiest way possible?17:30
SkaagSoftware Raid, that is17:30
atomic__install mdadm :)17:31
uvirtbotNew bug: #501376 in mysql-dfsg-5.0 (universe) "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/mysql-server-5.0_5.1.30really5.0.83-0ubuntu3_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/50137617:31
Skaagatomic: no way to do it during install?17:32
atomic__you can do it during install17:32
Skaagok so that's where I'm at now, with my install17:32
atomic__just choose manual partitioning17:32
Skaagyah, I'm in manual partitioning right now17:32
SkaagI see the 3 drives17:32
atomic__you need to partition them identically17:32
Skaagso basically I set 3 raid partitions on all 3 of them, that are identical...17:33
SkaagWhat do I do with swap? same swap space on all 3?17:33
atomic__you need to set them as "Physical volume for raid"17:33
atomic__and dont forget to leave some space for swap17:33
Skaagwhat about the order? is that important?17:33
atomic__i always make raid swap as well, dont know why17:33
atomic__what order ?17:33
Skaagit's probably pretty fast17:33
Skaagthe order of partitions on each drive17:34
atomic__some put swap first17:34
atomic__i put it last17:34
atomic__are you going to have only /17:34
atomic__?17:34
Skaagyes17:34
SkaagI don't need something more complex in this specific setup17:35
Skaagnobody's going to access this box17:35
Skaagso I don't feel the need to limit /home and /var and /boot17:35
atomic__i almost never do, its overrated ;)17:35
SkaagI do see the importance in it17:35
Skaageven just /tmp so you can set important security flags on it17:35
atomic__well it certainly has its uses17:36
Skaagbut not in this specific case, I don't care about that17:36
atomic__but nvm17:36
atomic__so, partition the disks17:36
Skaagso I put a / partition on all 3, make it raid, then swap on all 317:36
Skaagsame size for all17:36
atomic__type should be physical volume for raid17:36
atomic__dont forget to set the bootable flag on all the / partitions17:36
atomic__then select configure software raid or what was it called17:37
atomic__you can choose raid level, partitions to include17:37
atomic__etc etc17:37
atomic__you'll find your way around17:37
atomic__are the disks brand new?17:38
Skaagawesome17:38
Skaagyes they are brand new17:39
Skaag1TB each17:39
atomic__good17:39
atomic__(don't ask why its good)17:39
atomic__you'll know when you resort to low-level format17:40
atomic__:)17:40
SkaagLOL17:40
Skaagso how do you do a raid swap?17:40
SkaagI make the rest of the space also physical raid?17:40
atomic__yeah17:40
Skaagfigures, ok17:40
atomic__rinse, repeat17:40
atomic__use as /, use as swap area17:41
atomic__done17:41
Skaagawesome17:45
Skaagvery simple17:45
Skaagthanks mate17:45
atomic__sure man17:46

blistovI've got 4GB RAM, and 1GB swap.  My system is under very light load (3 small vm's), and is swapping, despite there being over 2GB in cache.18:24
blistovWhy is cache taking precidence over ... everything lately?18:24
mcashi... is there a new roadmap for lucid? i found only old information at the wiki18:26
guntbert!lucid18:26
ubottuLucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+118:26
mcasguntbert: i know about #ubuntu+1 but i meant ubuntu-server specific so i ask here18:36
blistovWhat can cause a system to swap, when there is 3GB of memory free? (4GB available, 2.5GB cache, .5GB free, 1GB swap used and actively swapping)18:45
Jaggedblistov: top can sort my memory commit18:47
blistovTop shows me what I just said :)   4GB avail, 2.5GB in cache, the rest is free.  still swapping.18:48
blistovfree -m confirms this.18:48
blistovI've noticed this on karmic, 2.6.31 with vmware-server 2.0218:49
Jaggedyeah, and you can sort by program memory usage18:49
blistovJagged, right, but counting it up, still shows less than 1GB used for actual applications.  The rest is all being used by cache.18:50
blistovBut cache should be flushed, when memory is required.18:50
blistovI now have 2.7GB in cache, and no matter what I do, I can't seem to allocate any of it back to usable memory.18:50
guntbertblistov: and why do you suppose you system is swapping?18:51
guntbert*your18:51
blistovNo idea.18:52
blistovWell, with a GB of RAM free, 2.5 in Cache, there's no reason to swap.18:52
blistovI should have 3.5GB of RAM to use before I even think of swapping.18:52
guntbertblistov: my question was "what makes you think that your system is swapping" ?19:03
simplexionot sure, but i think linux movrs stuff to swap in advance, and if in some case yoy really need swap its much faster19:05
blistovguntbert, the swap usage is increasing and decreasing, hard drive is spinning constantly, my system is intermittently un-responsive, and vmstat says its swapping.19:18
guntbertblistov: vmstat is new to me - thx - but no answer to your question - sorry19:20
blistov:)19:21
blistovthanks anyway.19:21
blistovI'm starting to think its a bug in the kernel.19:21
blistovHaven't found anything reported yet though.19:21
blistovBut, could be idiot vmware-server forcibly dumping things on cache.19:21

simplexioblistov: you could try tune /proc/sys/vm/swappiness etc.. values20:02
=== JULDRAKEN is now known as DragonLord
blistovsimplexio, I considered that, but I'd like to know why this is happening stock first.20:38
blistovThere's no way to justify this much swapping.20:38
blistovIts actually favoring swapping over real memory when there is 3GB free.20:38

richardsithhello guys, I need help about a Fax Server.Is there someone can help me?22:28
