glickso postfix sends and recieves email, and dovcot allows you to retrieve it and send it with clients, and to create mailboxes, and folders and such?08:35

adhordenHi all, we are having a debate in the office, what should the swap space be on a 16 gig of memory box? I went with atleast 4 gig.12:14
binBASHit depends on which applications you run and how much ram they take12:20
binBASHsimple: If all your apps take the ram system will swap. If there's no swap left you will be introduced to the OOM killer :)12:21
adhordenIts a large database server, running on Postgres12:22
adhordenI wanted to make it 4 gig swap, but at the moment its set at 2 gig, but we are flatening it this afternoon to start fresh with a 64bit os12:23
binBASHand what is current swap usage?12:24
binBASHand which value shows cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness ?12:24
adhordenat load I have seen it eating 1 gig of swap but the system has 4 gig of mem at the moment I was putting in 16 gig this afternoon12:25
binBASHok12:25
adhordenat the moment with 4 gig I get a swappiness of 6012:25
alex88have you really seen swap used? i've 2gb ram and it's always at 012:25
binBASHalex88: you are lucky :D12:25
xampartis it a bad policy to keep swap 1.5 times as big as physical?12:25
adhordenyes I see it regually12:25
adhordenbut in this case should we increase the swap?12:26
adhordenat load we get a swapiness of 4012:26
binBASHhow you measured swappiness of 40?12:27
alex88that's why i've removed. :)12:27
adhordensorry its set at 4012:28
binBASH:)12:28
adhordenlong day!12:28
binBASHso it means 40% will be os cache12:28
alex88if i've set lang=it_it, how can i use apt-get in english for 1 time?12:28
binBASHhere I set swappiness to 012:28
binBASHmysql at least doesn't like swap usage at all12:28
binBASHfor safety I have swap partition which is same size as the server ram12:29
adhordenbinBASH, in our case there are arguments for increasing it and decreasing it, should we jsut go with 4 gig as I recomended or keep it at 2 gig?12:29
adhordenI mean whats the harm of increasing swap? I cannot see any12:29
binBASHadhorden: There is no harm12:29
binBASHThe system should not swap at all.12:29
adhordenIs there any aregument for removing it?12:30
adhordenI do not want to end up in the relaims of OOM killer12:30
binBASH:)12:30
binBASHI think there is no reason to remove it. If it doesn't get used at all there is no harm.12:31
* Patrickdk is lazy :)12:31
binBASHPatrickdk news?12:31
binBASH:)12:32
Patrickdkthese days I say screw it and just setup a 25gig swap12:32
binBASHWell, diskspace is inexpensive12:32
PatrickdkI mainly do that for hibernation12:32
Patrickdkincase I loose power here at home12:32
adhordenthanks guys this is an argument that has been going around the office for two days now12:32
adhordenno one seems to be able to put in a good technical argument12:33
Patrickdkmy servers in datacenters, I vary swap size, many systems I just do 512megs12:33
binBASHadhorden: Using no swap is like driving car without airbag ;)12:33
adhordenthis is a production server postgres running in a datacenter12:33
Patrickdkbinbash, dunno about airbags, but maybe seatbelts12:34
Patrickdkyou normally fine without it, but sometimes :)12:34
binBASHyup12:34
binBASH:)12:34
binBASHNever say never12:34
adhordenSo if there is no swap we are basically in the shit, with 2 gig we should be ok, but 4 - 8 gig would be ideal and to be safe 16 gig so it matches system memory?12:35
binBASHIf you don't have problem with server downtimes you can disable swap surely :)12:35
Patrickdkadhorden, system swap = mem size is normally not needed12:35
Patrickdkyou just need as much swap, as you want protection :)12:35
adhordenbinBASH a few people might get angry with downtime, we have lots of it at the moment as we keep running out of memory hence why I am off to stick in 16 gigs later12:35
Patrickdkif a program goes nuts12:35
Patrickdk2swap might be fine, 4might, or 16might12:35
Patrickdkit depends on the program and how it goes nuts12:36
Patrickdkhell, you might need 100gigs to protect it12:36
Patrickdkbut normally at some point, the disk i/o is going way out weigh any swap size you give it12:36
Patrickdkcause it will become unusable anyways12:36
adhordenits a postgres server running on ubuntu-server at the moment12:37
adhordenthe only thing running is postgres12:37
PatrickdkI personally would say, if you sould never use swap, and you don't plan to ever hibernate, 2-4gigs should be enough12:37
Patrickdkhibernate, swap=mem, has to be12:37
adhordenthis is a server so I doubt we are going to be hybernating it12:37
Patrickdkwell, lets say this12:38
Patrickdkat 4gigs swap, and disk write speed of 100mb/s12:38
Patrickdkthat says the system will be unusable for 40seconds if it goes nuts12:38
Patrickdk8gigs would be up to 80seconds12:38
Patrickdkat what point do you not care if it's unusable?12:39
binBASHUnusable? :D12:39
Patrickdksystem is too busy swapping to do anything else, like ssh12:39
Patrickdkhave it happen several times12:39
binBASHhmm ok, never had this :D12:40
binBASHhere it had things like, oom killer killed sshd or mysqld12:40
PatrickdkI haven't had that12:40
Patrickdkbut generally I will reboot the system if it gets bad12:41
Patrickdkwhen I can't get into it for >5min12:41
binBASHsure ;)12:41
Patrickdkand at 512megs swap, that happened several times12:41
Patrickdkcause the disk was busy doing many other things that just swap at the time12:41
binBASHHere I look at KVM console first12:41
binBASHif there is no chance -> reboot12:41
Patrickdkmine are normally related to forkbombs12:42
binBASHadhorden: I would btw. never go higher than 8GB swap12:42
Patrickdkoh, and if your on 32bit, you can't go over 4gig anyways12:43
binBASHIf you need 8 GB swap at all, there is something seriously wrong12:43

m0t3jlHi. I've recently dist-upgraded to 10.04 on my desktop (yes, I use the server version on desktop ;)) and it's got a splash screen ;) Why the heck would there be a splash screen on server? :D17:45
RoyKm0t3jl: dunno - perhaps someone thought it looked nice? :)17:50
RoyKm0t3jl: it's not like it'll eat much resources17:50
RoyKthe cool thing about lucid is that it uses far higher resolution than before, so unless you're on an old 14" CRT, the console is sufficiently big to use it for something real :)17:51
zulSpamapS: yeah go ahead and lock it down to /var/tmp/mysql but once you do run it with the qa-regression-test testsuite17:52
SpamapSm0t3jl: dig through the ubuntu-server archives at lists.ubuntu.com , somebody posted how to disable the splashiness.17:55
SpamapSzul: will do17:56
zulSpamapS: thanks17:56
SpamapSzul: so how is this supposed to work.. if we start adding stuff to existing upstart jobs, while still encouraging users to modify them.. users have to hand merge upstart jobs on upgrade?17:59
zulSpamapS: it should prompt you when upgrade if the upstart job has changed and its up to the uesrs18:00
SpamapSzul: frankly, that sucks.18:00
zulSpamapS: you get the same problem with initscripts18:00
SpamapSYeah, people shouldn't be modifying them.18:00
m0t3jl:)18:01
SpamapSI guess what I mean is, the script code shouldn't be in the init dir.18:01
mathiazSpamapS: right - that's why /etc/defaults/* have been introduced18:01
mathiazSpamapS: it seems that with upstart defaults files are no longer needed18:01
SpamapSlike, pre-start should be  'pre-start /usr/lib/mysql-5.1/pre-start'18:01
mathiazSpamapS: ie init scripts and default files are merged into an upstart job18:02
zulSpamapS: next version of upstart should fix that18:02
SpamapSmathiaz: I need to assert that /var/tmp/mysql exists. I can't rely on maintainer scripts for this.. I have to do it right before mysqld is started. I hae to put this in pre-start .. but now I'm changing code in a conffile.. seems rather counter-intuitive.18:02
SpamapSzul: we can do it now w/ policy though18:03
mathiazSpamapS: why can't you rely on the maintainer scripts?18:03
SpamapSmathiaz: because /var/tmp can be cleared at any time18:03

VladGhguys, I know this is a really newbie question but once I compiled a program from sources with make and make install, can I just copy the resulted binaries when I reinstall the system as long as I install the required dependencies?19:15
talciteVladGh: did the program make available any other dynamic libraries?19:17
VladGhtalcite: I'm talking about php 5.3.3 compiled with all the necessary librarie and dependencies, and I was wondering if when I am reinstalling Ubuntu on the same server I could just copy the /opt/php5 folder in which I compiled it after I install all libraries with apt-get?19:18
talcitenot likely with php19:19
talciteyou'll probably need to do some ld magic as well19:19
talciteyou're better off recompiling I would think19:19
talcitewhy can't you recompile anywyas?19:20
VladGhok, thanks, I already have sh scripts to do all the recompile stuff. I was just wondering if it is possible to skip that step. Thanks19:20
SpamapSVladGh: you know, php 5.3.3 is available as a source package in Maverick, you can always just rebuild that on your version of Ubuntu.19:21
VladGhyes I know but I prefer to have complete control on what I install (my own configure script and my own patches).19:22
SpamapSVladGh: one way to do that and still get system portability is by building your own .deb19:23
VladGhI will get to that too, but as you see I still ask some basic questions19:23
SpamapSVladGh: But.. php is pretty massive, so I could see where that might get ugly. ;)19:23
SpamapSVladGh: Also if you have multiple servers, its a good idea to go with something like puppet or chef to manage those build/deploy steps.19:24
SpamapSVladGh: even if you only have 2 servers, if you might have 3 or 4 later, it makes a big difference in long term efficiency.19:24
talciteSpamapS: puppet only makes sense if you have a lot of identical machines19:25
VladGhFor the moment I just have my small linode vps and a few small websites19:25
VladGhthanks for the adive anyway19:25
VladGhI will do very soon replication and high availability so I will definetly look into puppet or chef19:25
VladGhwhere can I find some good tutorials on how to create a deb from sources for more complex software like php or jetty7, solr etc19:29
kpettitAnybody know of any good python or other cli type tools that will allow me to ready/write config files from different apps.  Like apache, mysql, asterisk, etc?19:31
SpamapStalcite: not really. 99% of the time you have 90% of the same configs on each box.. little things that when missed, screw up all your other stuff19:33
SpamapStalcite: I think of puppet more as managing the mundane repetition, not the boxes.19:33
SpamapSkpettit: config files are vastly different from program to program.. some use established patterns like ini, yml, or xml, but others just sort of made up their own thing (like apache..)19:34
kpettitexactly, that's why I don't really want to write one :)  Trying to see if something already exists19:35

mathiazSpamapS: zul: jdstrand: any reasong/thouhgts on demoting php5-sybase to universe?21:56
SpamapSmathiaz: +1 for demoting drivers for closed source daemons. :)21:57
mathiazSpamapS: hm - http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/php5-dbg21:59
mathiazSpamapS: php5-dbg depends on php5-sybase21:59
SpamapSmathiaz: can those files be moved into php5-sybase-dbg ?22:00
zulmathiaz: indifferent :)22:08
=== kentb is now known as kentb-afk
mathiazSpamapS: it should be possible to create a php5-sybase-dbg file22:11
mathiazSpamapS: package22:11
SpamapSmathiaz: I think if you did that, you can kick libsybdb5 out of main too22:15
SpamapSwait.. no.. kexi22:15
mathiazSpamapS: hm?22:16
mathiazSpamapS: I'm not sure I follow what you're saying22:16
SpamapSmathiaz: libsybdb5 is the sybase/mssql driver (freetds) .. all of its rdepends are universe except kexi and php5-sybase22:18
SpamapSbut, actually, its pretty cool that kexi supports mssql... as that makes ubuntu more useful for mssql administrators and developers.22:19
SpamapSkexi == graphical data management program22:19
jdstrandmathiaz: I have no strong opinion. dropping it out of main means less official support, but I have no idea how many people use it22:41
