| L0C4LH05T | hey guys, using ubuntu server 11.04, trying to setup isc-dhcp4 and I keep getting a segment fault | 03:10 |
| L0C4LH05T | anyone around? | 03:12 |
| arleslie | hey everyone, any reason why /usr/sbin/dhcpd uses a lot of cpu and mem? after killing the process server load droped from 1.56 to 0.27 and mem usage went from 76% to 0% | 04:31 |
| Alan | What would be the recommended filesystem these days for a 6TB RAID5? | 05:03 |

| Alan | but also preferably something that doesn't just truncate all open files on power loss | 05:04 |
| Alan | (I actually had that happen with a FS once =( ) | 05:04 |
| Alan | also, i'm running 10.04, that might have some effect on the maturity of what's available in my kernel... | 05:05 |

| volkan_ | Hey! I'm running an ubuntu lucid webserver configuration and switched from mod_php to mod_fcgid to benefit from apache's mpm_worker. The server response is better than under mod_php but under load it performs worse and my error.log keeps being flooded with notices like this: [Thu May 05 12:16:37 2011] [notice] mod_fcgid: /aegir/drupal-7/index.php total process count 15 >= 15, skip the spawn request. My mod_fcgid configura | 11:29 |

| RoyK | Alan: zfs? ;) | 14:50 |
| RoyK | Alan: really, just use ext4 | 14:50 |
| * RoyK uses ZFS for such storage, but not on linux | 14:51 | |
| RoyK | I've never seen linux truncate files on power loss | 14:51 |
| RoyK | you may lose parts of a file's contents if you get powerloss while writing, but that happens to all filesystems unless you have battery backed cache (or using an SLOG SSD with ZFS) | 14:52 |
| qman__ | yeah, with modern large disks, invisible data corruption happens | 14:57 |
| qman__ | next time I expand my array, I plan on switching to zfs for that reason | 14:58 |
| qman__ | my current one uses ext3, which has been good to me | 15:01 |
| Alan | RoyK: it was a few years ago, using ZFS, every open file got truncated to 0 bytes when i accidentally hit the reset button once | 15:05 |
| Alan | RoyK: is ext4 properly stable in the 10.04 kernel? | 15:06 |
| RoyK | yes | 15:06 |
| RoyK | it's the default kernel in 10.04LTS | 15:07 |
| Alan | by kernel do you mean FS? | 15:09 |
| Alan | I can't remember when ext4 started being recommended | 15:10 |
| storrgie | When I log into my servers, I keep getting the same MOTD saying I have updates... but I don't have any updates to install because it's all up to date | 15:12 |
| RoyK | storrgie: you probably get two MOTDs, the first is correct | 15:16 |
| * RoyK hasn't found how to fix that either | 15:16 | |
| druciferre | there is a guest account on my ubuntu-server and it has a cron job that I'm not sure what it does... * * * * * /dev/shm/. /.inc/update >/dev/null 2>&1 | 15:23 |
| RoyK | seems ext4 came in in 9.04, so it's been there a couple of years | 15:29 |
| RoyK | Alan: about the issue with truncated files on zfs - I've never seen that happen, and we have some 350TB on ZFS ATM | 15:29 |
| Alan | RoyK: did i say ZFS? | 15:29 |
| Alan | FUUUU | 15:30 |
| Alan | sorry, i meant XFS | 15:30 |
| RoyK | oh | 15:30 |
| RoyK | :) | 15:30 |
| Alan | i've seen stufff about XFS being good for bulk storage like my usecase | 15:30 |
| Alan | but ... don't want to lose data... | 15:30 |
| RoyK | just use ext4 | 15:31 |
| RoyK | (or zfs) | 15:31 |
| patdk-lap | I forget what kernel version it was | 15:31 |
| patdk-lap | but lots of bugs got fixed in xfs awhile back | 15:31 |
| Alan | there are 2 problems with ZFS though | 15:31 |
| Alan | 1) it doesn't have a proper kernel-space implementation on Linux | 15:31 |
| Alan | 2) raidz doesn't support resize | 15:31 |
| Alan | at least not last time i checked | 15:31 |
| Alan | i like to expand my raid5 | 15:32 |
| RoyK | you can add a VDEV, say another 3 disks in raidz | 15:32 |
| RoyK | or you can replace the drives with bigger ones, and it'll grow (with autoexpand=on) | 15:32 |
| RoyK | but no, you can't increase (or decrease) the number of drives in a VDEV | 15:32 |
| Alan | RoyK: I expand my storage the affordable way | 15:32 |
| Alan | which is adding 1 disk at a time to a raid5 and doing online resize | 15:33 |
| RoyK | can you add a drive to linux raid these days? | 15:33 |
| RoyK | I haven't used it for ages | 15:33 |
| patdk-lap | royk, have been able to for years | 15:33 |
| RoyK | ok | 15:33 |
| patdk-lap | maybe only 2 years for ubuntu, not sure on that :) | 15:34 |
| Alan | i've been using software raid5 on linux for at least 4 years and always been able to online expand | 15:35 |
| RoyK | ok | 15:36 |
| RoyK | I don't think I've used it in production since 2003 or so | 15:36 |
| Alan | it's pretty awesome, it means you can start a RAID5 with just 2 disks | 15:36 |
| Alan | cheap way to start a large data store | 15:36 |
| Alan | rather than needing to find the money for 5 disks all at once | 15:37 |
| robo | hi: if i do apt-cache search oci8 2 things return. php-db and php5-adodb. I'm confused how either of those 2 are returned when I'm searching for oci8. Any insight? | 15:40 |
| qman__ | Alan, I've suffered total data loss multiple times with XFS, due to kernel crashes and power loss | 15:45 |
| david5345 | Why is the ntp package not part of the basic install ? | 15:45 |
| qman__ | I do not recommend XFS unless system stability is an absolute certainty | 15:45 |
| Alan | qman__: i don't have a UPS, so it isn't :P | 15:45 |
| qman__ | david5345, the basic install includes ntpdate-debian | 15:46 |
| qman__ | which is an ntp client only, enough for most people | 15:46 |
| david5345 | All my servers drift about an hour a month. | 15:47 |
| Alan | david5345: that's pretty bad.... | 15:47 |
| qman__ | I have ntp running on my router, and all my machines sync to it without issues | 15:48 |
| Alan | I used to think 5 minutes/month was not particularly great | 15:48 |
| qman__ | the full ntp package is only needed to serve time | 15:48 |
| david5345 | I am running ntpd which slews the clock to keep synch without jumping | 15:48 |
| qman__ | yeah, if your drift is that bad, makes sense | 15:49 |
| qman__ | but none of mine are that bad | 15:49 |
| david5345 | oddly enough, all my servers are that bad. Virtual, physical, new and old. | 15:49 |
| qman__ | I do have one that does whatever it feels like, but that one runs windows | 15:49 |
| RoyK | some hypervisors allow for a special timesource | 15:50 |
| qman__ | sometimes it just skips a few hours, other times it winds back a bit | 15:50 |

| RoyK | wmp: sounds like something started a fork() loop | 16:17 |

| wmp | RoyK: so, i want to check, maybe this is memory overdraw | 16:21 |
| wmp | but i dont't know how | 16:22 |
| RoyK | wmp: fork() shouldn't fail on low memory | 16:23 |
| RoyK | wmp: check swap used | 16:23 |
| wmp | yes | 16:24 |

| ChrisBuchholz | Hey guys. | 16:56 |
| ChrisBuchholz | In the ubuntu universe archive, version 0.2.6 of nodejs is available. I have added a - maverick - ppa which has version 0.4.7, and want to install that instead. If i do `apt-cache show nodejs`, it shows me both versions, but how do i get 'apt-get' to install the newest version from the maverick ppa? | 16:56 |
| genshooter | chrisbucholz i had to do something similar to that to install QMMP, not sure if youre having the same problem but... | 17:15 |
| genshooter | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/qmmp-qt-based-multimedia-player.html talks about modifying the apt-repository | 17:16 |
| ChrisBuchholz | genshooter: thanks, though, i have the ppa added. Its just that there now are two packages available with the same name, and i want to choose #2, but apt-get defaults to #1 | 17:19 |
| genshooter | try sudo apt-get update ? | 17:20 |
| ChrisBuchholz | genshooter: doesnt matter if apt-get defaults to #1 | 17:20 |

| RoyK | anyone that knows if I can run 64bit guests on a 32bit KVM server? | 18:32 |
| robo | dunno | 18:35 |
| robo | the other way, 32bit on 64 bit, that should work. Not sure about 64bit on 32bit. Not sure how much virtualization playhs | 18:36 |
| qman__ | you can't | 18:39 |
| qman__ | 64-bit guests require a 64-bit host | 18:39 |
| qman__ | in order to do that it'd have to be a complete software emulator, which most virtualization technologies are not for performance reasons | 18:40 |
| RoyK | k | 18:42 |
| RoyK | can KVM allow guests > 4GB RAM on 32bit systems? | 18:43 |
| qman__ | you can do 32 on 64, though, since 32 is a subset of 64 | 18:43 |
| qman__ | that, I don't know | 18:43 |
| qman__ | performance is definitely going to suffer though, PAE on PAE | 18:44 |
| RoyK | thing is - I got this server from a company - they were just ditching it - an IBM x445 - rather nice piece of hardware, quad Xens and 32 gigs of RAM. Then, it turns out it's a 32bit system... | 18:44 |
| qman__ | ah | 18:44 |
| qman__ | no EM64T | 18:44 |
| RoyK | I just gave it to my brother-in-law - he says it's not | 18:45 |
| qman__ | that's one of the reasons I'm not a fan of intel, they tend to remove features to create price brackets | 18:45 |
