The drives on my server spin up every time a windows PC on the network is woken up from sleep. This PC backs up over SMB. How can I make this not happen? [04:13] It's driving me crazy! [04:16] not spinning them down would be one way [04:17] Making sure the windows PC is speaking DNS to the DNS resolver, instead of speaking NetBIOS to the samba server, might help. [04:17] It depends why it's talking to the server on resume [04:20] how would i know if it's speaking DNS? [04:20] you go into its registry somewhere [04:20] IIRC DNS is the default since about vista [04:21] Prior to that it would prefer netbios [04:21] ##windows probably can help with that [04:21] And/or do packet sniffing [04:21] ah. ok. is there anything I can do on the server side?

[14:42] Launchpad bug 971820 in squid-deb-proxy "squid-deb-proxy needs special handling of Release, Packages, Source" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/971820 [14:42] i'm concerned that what we have there does not really fix the development release issue. [14:42] I'd love to but I need to better understand how it's broken first [14:43] so you think that the change you put in makes squid check the source headers versus what it has cached, right? [14:43] what headers explicitly does it check ? [14:44] I don't know - squid calls it a "refresh" and supposedly does the right thing [14:44] I can investigate that [14:45] well, whatever it does, i had a case where the server had new stuff, but squid was caching old stuff. [14:45] (and the old stuff was bad) [14:45] what were the timestamps? [14:45] one possibility is that the server is busted. that it does not correctly update those timestamp.s [14:45] yeah... it sucks. [14:45] i'm abad bug report [14:45] i know [14:46] As in had the server's new stuff really gone up in timestamp, and was the previous fetch with a previous timestamp [14:46] I've got one thought about this [14:46] I could run a cron job [14:46] i stopped trying to find the correct fix after losing 2 hours on it. and realizing that orchestra had done the deny business. [14:46] the one thought i had is to just hard code the development release to deny [14:46] but let others go to cache [14:47] That hits the archive with squid and without squid (with current squid-deb-proxy) and lots the timestamps and md5s [14:47] oh, and always deny -updates and -security [14:47] logs [14:47] right. to catch it. [14:47] that would be good. [14:47] yep [14:47] then we'd also hopefully have the timestamp information which should help pin it down [14:48] but the hack of "if devel release, or -updates or -security or -backports, then deny" [14:48] jdstrand: yes, it should be removed. I beliee the rdeps are all gone. [14:48] would cache the largest hunk of data (as the main repo is the biggest by far) [14:48] jdstrand: believe.. even [14:48] jdstrand: re mysql 5.1 [14:49] does the dev archive tend to move as fast over the weekend as it does during the day? [14:49] SpamapS: would you mind double checking that, and filing a bug for its removal? [14:49] rbasak, just make sure you store the headers that you get back in both requeswts. and i think you'll get enoug hinfo to catch it. [14:49] oh, and you might as well pin your server too [14:49] SpamapS: feel free to assign it to me [14:49] ie, avoid the round-robin failures. [14:50] jdstrand: looks like libmyodbc and sphinxsearch are the last hold-outs.. will investigate today [14:50] SpamapS: awesome, thanks! [14:52] smoser: I'm going to leave archive.u.c unpinned. I'll test ports.u.c in parallel which is effectively pinned because there is only one. That gives us both because I want to understand how well it works unpinned as well. I will only be donwloading the files - not giving them to apt - so the Release/Packages mismatch won't matter. [14:53] smoser: do you think I need to download the whole file for the non-cached version, or will a direct HEAD request do? I think we can trust the E-Tag, can't we? [14:53] but ports.u.c gets updated less frequently i suspect. [14:53] ping the host [14:53] you'll get random failures we're not trying to address if you do not. [14:53] rbasak, i dont know. i think yo might need to download the file [14:53] to verify that it is different. [14:54] i guess the headers shoudl tell you that. [14:54] but the only way i can explain the issue is bad headers. [14:57] smoser: what makes you think it was a squid issue rather than a mirror out of sync with itself? [14:57] because if i used check-archive at the same time, it was fine [14:58] and, actually... i tried to get check-archive to fail going through squid, but could not. [14:58] the reason for that is the way that check-archive works. it resolves the IP address and sets 'Host: ' header. [14:58] so squid didn't then recognize that 'http://archive.u.c' was the same as what check-archive was asking for. [14:59] and check-archive got a refreshed versions. [15:00] i debugged that a bit, but in squids logs, check-archive's hits were logged by server IP address, where the 'apt-get update' was getting dns name. [15:02] robbiew: best MAAS comment so far: http://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/rufub/metal_as_a_service_canonical_announces_ubuntu/ [15:04] I'm seeing incredibly slow disk performance on one of our servers hosted with OVH. [15:04] jcastro: heh [15:04] I'm not sure how to investigate. Looking at the output of `sudo iostat -k 15 12` shows disk writes about 500K/s. [15:05] Any suggestions on how I can debug what's causing the slow disk access? [15:05] cpu utilisation looks like 25% iowate, 75% idle [15:09] chmac: Is it a VM? or dedicated? [15:09] Rapid2214: Dedicated hardware, two SATA2 2T disks running software raid [15:10] Have you checked for a degraded disk? /proc/mdstat ? [15:11] Rapid2214: Not sure how to read the output, nothing screams error to me... [15:11] I sent the smartctl output of each disk to the host, but waiting for a response, also not sure how to read that. [15:12] chmac: [UU] means both disks are good [15:12] Rapid2214: Both disks are good [15:12] anything in dmesg? [15:14] Rapid2214: Anything I could grep for? Not familiar with the output, so not sure what to look for... [15:16] Rapid2214: Thanks a lot for your help btw, I'm at a bit of a loss on this one. [15:16] chmac: Would be obvious, if anything was wrong, constant messages is a tail tail sign, any processes in perticular which are using high wait? Is it a new server? Or has it been in use a while? No probs :) [15:17] Rapid2214: It's a reasonably new server, I think we've had the issue since it was brought online. [15:17] Rapid2214: dmesg looks good to me, `tail -f /var/log/dmesg` doesn't show anything new being added. [15:18] Rapid2214: The issue seems to be primarily with MySQL because it's the biggest user of disks. [15:18] Rapid2214: I had thought to try some kind of test copying data between partitions just to see what's going on. [15:19] chmac: I have a MySQL server on software raid, personally i wouldn't recommend it, but 20% is terrible for that application tbf - What does # hdparm -tT /dev/ ----- return? [15:20] *isn't terrible [15:25] Rapid2214: Ok, I think I'm onto a red herring, I just copied a 2G file from one partition to another and saw one report of 40M/s to md2 [15:25] Seems like it's an issue with MySQL somehow then, that's what got me started on this, mysql is abysmally slow. [15:26] Although, a 2G file takes longer on this machine than on another single disk machine of a much lower spec (ram/cpu). [15:27] chmac: Humm yeh, thats the issue I seem to have, its a backup server so it's not so important - good luck [15:27] Rapid2214: Same here, it's also a backup machine. [15:27] Rapid2214: You have the same issue where mysql is abysmally slow on software raid? [15:29] chmac: Its noticeably slower with high waits, Im on software raid, but have put it down to old SCSI disks - I'm gonna be virtualising it soon [15:29] Rapid2214: It took me >1hr to import a 1.7M file that takes <2 minutes on our primary server, and 8m on a crappy £17 a month dedicated box. [15:29] Rapid2214: The mysql slave is 44h behind master :-( [15:33] chmac: That is impressive, have you been using mk toolkit? [15:34] Rapid2214: I'd like to install mk_hearbeat, but wasn't aware of the toolkit [15:38] chmac: Its quite good, it allows checksum checks, and sync to fix replication issues [15:39] chmac: Its quite good, it allows checksum checks, and sync to fix replication issues === matsubara is now known as matsubara-lunch === hazmat is now known as kapilt [15:59] normally Ubuntu does that shallow reboot that lets it do a kernel reload on server edition. but how do you force a proper full reboot, if desired? === jtv1 is now known as jtv [16:05] for use in d-i partman, how can I determine the partition id (for a raid recipe)?
