[14:41] <larsenio> hi everybody
[14:43] <larsenio> question: 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?
[14:59] <pmatulis> larsenio: did you try the 'user' option in fstab?
[16:07] <Matuku> How do I go about removing a user from a group if that's the only supplemental group they're a member of?
[16:13] <pmatulis> Matuku: use the 'usermod' command
[16:16] <Matuku> pmatulis: I tried that but it doesn't like not having anything after the -G option
[16:17] <pmatulis> Matuku: empty quotes?
[16:18] <jtaji> Matuku: 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 -G
[16:19] <jtaji> Matuku: default in Ubuntu is to have a group with the same name as the user
[16:19] <Matuku> jtaji: It's a supplemental group I'm trying to remove the user from
[16:20] <Matuku> Ah there we go, empty double-quotes did it
[16:20] <Matuku> Thanks all!
[16:20] <jtaji> Matuku: or you can use deluser user group, where group is the group to remove

[17:09] <beric> Hello. hdparm -t on compaq smartarray raid0 gives onl 19MB/s. it's U320 SCSI. is it a real problem or that hdparm lies ?
[17:16] <qman__> beric, either is possible, keep in mind that those numbers are after the current system load
[17:17] <beric> qman__: this is a totally idle server i just installed. only ssh server. it's 9.10 64bit
[17:20] <beric> Someone reported the same problems at the forums about his HP cciss but he has no conclusions.
[17:30] <Skaag> I am installing Ubuntu 9.10 Server, and I have 3 physical drives
[17:30] <Skaag> How do I Raid5 them the easiest way possible?
[17:30] <Skaag> Software Raid, that is
[17:31] <atomic__> install mdadm :)

[17:32] <Skaag> atomic: no way to do it during install?
[17:32] <atomic__> you can do it during install
[17:32] <Skaag> ok so that's where I'm at now, with my install
[17:32] <atomic__> just choose manual partitioning
[17:32] <Skaag> yah, I'm in manual partitioning right now
[17:32] <Skaag> I see the 3 drives
[17:32] <atomic__> you need to partition them identically
[17:33] <Skaag> so basically I set 3 raid partitions on all 3 of them, that are identical...
[17:33] <Skaag> What 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 swap
[17:33] <Skaag> what about the order? is that important?
[17:33] <atomic__> i always make raid swap as well, dont know why
[17:33] <atomic__> what order ?
[17:33] <Skaag> it's probably pretty fast
[17:34] <Skaag> the order of partitions on each drive
[17:34] <atomic__> some put swap first
[17:34] <atomic__> i put it last
[17:34] <atomic__> are you going to have only /
[17:34] <atomic__> ?
[17:34] <Skaag> yes
[17:35] <Skaag> I don't need something more complex in this specific setup
[17:35] <Skaag> nobody's going to access this box
[17:35] <Skaag> so I don't feel the need to limit /home and /var and /boot
[17:35] <atomic__> i almost never do, its overrated ;)
[17:35] <Skaag> I do see the importance in it
[17:35] <Skaag> even just /tmp so you can set important security flags on it
[17:36] <atomic__> well it certainly has its uses
[17:36] <Skaag> but not in this specific case, I don't care about that
[17:36] <atomic__> but nvm
[17:36] <atomic__> so, partition the disks
[17:36] <Skaag> so I put a / partition on all 3, make it raid, then swap on all 3
[17:36] <Skaag> same size for all
[17:36] <atomic__> type should be physical volume for raid
[17:36] <atomic__> dont forget to set the bootable flag on all the / partitions
[17:37] <atomic__> then select configure software raid or what was it called
[17:37] <atomic__> you can choose raid level, partitions to include
[17:37] <atomic__> etc etc
[17:37] <atomic__> you'll find your way around
[17:38] <atomic__> are the disks brand new?
[17:38] <Skaag> awesome
[17:39] <Skaag> yes they are brand new
[17:39] <Skaag> 1TB each
[17:39] <atomic__> good
[17:39] <atomic__> (don't ask why its good)
[17:40] <atomic__> you'll know when you resort to low-level format
[17:40] <atomic__> :)
[17:40] <Skaag> LOL
[17:40] <Skaag> so how do you do a raid swap?
[17:40] <Skaag> I make the rest of the space also physical raid?
[17:40] <atomic__> yeah
[17:40] <Skaag> figures, ok
[17:40] <atomic__> rinse, repeat
[17:41] <atomic__> use as /, use as swap area
[17:41] <atomic__> done
[17:45] <Skaag> awesome
[17:45] <Skaag> very simple
[17:45] <Skaag> thanks mate
[17:46] <atomic__> sure man

[18:09] <cab938> Is there anyway to set the default networking mode to NAT instead of bridged using ubuntu-vm-builder?
[18:24] <blistov> I'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] <blistov> Why is cache taking precidence over ... everything lately?
[18:26] <mcas> hi... is there a new roadmap for lucid? i found only old information at the wiki
[18:26] <guntbert> !lucid
[18:26] <ubottu> Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1
[18:36] <mcas> guntbert: i know about #ubuntu+1 but i meant ubuntu-server specific so i ask here
[18:45] <blistov> What 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)
[18:47] <Jagged> blistov: top can sort my memory commit
[18:48] <blistov> Top shows me what I just said :)   4GB avail, 2.5GB in cache, the rest is free.  still swapping.
[18:48] <blistov> free -m confirms this.
[18:49] <blistov> I've noticed this on karmic, 2.6.31 with vmware-server 2.02
[18:49] <Jagged> yeah, and you can sort by program memory usage
[18:50] <blistov> Jagged, right, but counting it up, still shows less than 1GB used for actual applications.  The rest is all being used by cache.
[18:50] <blistov> But cache should be flushed, when memory is required.
[18:50] <blistov> I 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.
[18:51] <guntbert> blistov: and why do you suppose you system is swapping?
[18:51] <guntbert> *your
[18:52] <blistov> No idea.
[18:52] <blistov> Well, with a GB of RAM free, 2.5 in Cache, there's no reason to swap.
[18:52] <blistov> I should have 3.5GB of RAM to use before I even think of swapping.
[19:03] <guntbert> blistov: my question was "what makes you think that your system is swapping" ?
[19:05] <simplexio> not sure, but i think linux movrs stuff to swap in advance, and if in some case yoy really need swap its much faster
[19:18] <blistov> guntbert, the swap usage is increasing and decreasing, hard drive is spinning constantly, my system is intermittently un-responsive, and vmstat says its swapping.
[19:20] <guntbert> blistov: vmstat is new to me - thx - but no answer to your question - sorry
[19:21] <blistov> :)
[19:21] <blistov> thanks anyway.
[19:21] <blistov> I'm starting to think its a bug in the kernel.
[19:21] <blistov> Haven't found anything reported yet though.
[19:21] <blistov> But, could be idiot vmware-server forcibly dumping things on cache.

[20:38] <blistov> simplexio, I considered that, but I'd like to know why this is happening stock first.
[20:38] <blistov> There's no way to justify this much swapping.
[20:38] <blistov> Its actually favoring swapping over real memory when there is 3GB free.
