| uncledeath | Hi folks, I have a strange problem. I am upgrading my home server (Core2Duo E6600, 4GB DDR2, 2x 500GB SATA HDD). A few days ago I set it up with software raid and lvm and it worked fine until it started freezing on any IO related stuff. I have 0,1% CPU usage and loads greater than 10! If any disk operation occurs my system is inresponsive, it takes 5 minutes to log onto it. | 12:07 |
|---|---|---|
| uncledeath | I am reinstalling my system for the 10-th time and still no success. Now it is stuck on "setting mdadm" | 12:07 |
| uncledeath | I can see that /proc/mdadm is showing resync | 12:08 |
| uncledeath | and what is strange is the fact, that if resync is the only disk job it works fast (calculated 1 hour for 500GB) but as soon as any other disk operation is in progress resync goes down to 5Kb/s and other disk operations are also 5-10 K/s | 12:08 |
| uncledeath | when that happens system is totally unresponsive, avarage load is more than 10 (core2duo) and cpu usage is less than 1% | 12:09 |
| uncledeath | I tried ubuntu server 12.10 64b, 12.10 32b and 12.04 32b | 12:10 |
| uncledeath | still the same | 12:10 |
| uncledeath | At this point installer gets stuck at configuring mdadm for long time | 12:11 |
| uncledeath | anyone? | 12:12 |
| uncledeath | I limited my raid to 20G and as soon as resync is complete system works again but it isn't as fast as it used to be a few days ago | 12:13 |
| railsraider | anyone using collectd? | 13:14 |

| pmatulis | hmmm, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1467219/ | 14:14 |
| uncledeath | my ubuntu server installer takes forever at "configuring mdadm". CPU almost idle, system load very high and everything unresponsive. Any ideas? | 15:03 |
| pmatulis | uncledeath: during bootup you mean? | 15:17 |

| allSeeingEye | anyone here have the LPIC certs? | 18:37 |
| allSeeingEye | anyone in here think having LPIC certs are helpful to have on your resume? | 19:02 |
| pmatulis | allSeeingEye: certainly helpful, but by how much depends on the reader of the resume | 19:24 |
| pmatulis | allSeeingEye: when i help hire, it demonstrates to me the candidate has an eagerness/motivation to actually go through the process. so to me, it's less a technical and more a personal merit | 19:26 |
| pmatulis | allSeeingEye: however, LPI3 is fairly technically-worthy i believe | 19:28 |
| LuizAngioletti | how do I find out which package provided a certain file? | 19:32 |
| TheLordOfTime | LuizAngioletti, sudo apt-get install apt-file | 19:33 |
| TheLordOfTime | sudo apt-file update | 19:33 |
| TheLordOfTime | apt-file search [file] | 19:33 |
| LuizAngioletti | TheLordOfTime: Thanks | 19:33 |
| TheLordOfTime | i think that's the full string of things. | 19:33 |
| TheLordOfTime | at least ofr updating apt-file, and installing it | 19:33 |
| TheLordOfTime | i rarely use apt-file so... | 19:34 |
| * TheLordOfTime isn't 100% certain | 19:34 | |
| LuizAngioletti | TheLordOfTime: what do you use than? | 19:36 |
| LuizAngioletti | dpkg | 19:36 |
| LuizAngioletti | ? | 19:36 |
| LuizAngioletti | *then | 19:36 |
| pmatulis | looks good to me but no need to use sudo with 'apt-file update'. i recommend a cron job for updating | 19:37 |
| LuizAngioletti | I know that for rpm packages there is some rpm-ish string to find file affiliations to packages... isn't there something dpkg-ish for that? | 19:39 |
| pmatulis | what is file affiliations? | 19:43 |
| TheLordOfTime | LuizAngioletti, usually i don't bother to care, because most of the core stuff I need i know where it came from, and only in very rare cases do i use apt-file | 19:45 |
| TheLordOfTime | (usually for package debugging) | 19:45 |
| LuizAngioletti | pmatulis: which package provides wich file. | 19:45 |
| TheLordOfTime | LuizAngioletti, what were you looking for? | 19:45 |
| LuizAngioletti | there is a binary called "daemon" under /usr/bin | 19:46 |
| LuizAngioletti | I want to know what it does. =) | 19:46 |
| LuizAngioletti | and maybe where I can find more info about it... it seems to be a wrapper for some operations, like 'start-stop' services... | 19:47 |
| === cpg|away is now known as cpg | ||
| LuizAngioletti | (I encountered reference to it in a script I'm reading) | 19:47 |
| pmatulis | LuizAngioletti: dpkg -S file | 19:52 |
| LuizAngioletti | pmatulis: that simply returns the name of the package, not something like package<version>.deb | 19:52 |
| LuizAngioletti | You see? I want to get what .deb gave me that file. | 19:53 |
| TheLordOfTime | LuizAngioletti, then use apt-file' | 19:53 |
| TheLordOfTime | which i just told you to do? | 19:53 |
| TheLordOfTime | apt-file search daemon | 19:53 |
| LuizAngioletti | I just found out what 'daemon' does, but now I'm curious about that now. =) | 19:53 |
| TheLordOfTime | and find the path in its output and then the first word(s) on the line are what package it comes from. | 19:53 |
| LuizAngioletti | TheLordOfTime: It helped me already. =) | 19:54 |
| allSeeingEye | pmatulis: do you have any LPI certs? | 19:58 |
| pmatulis | allSeeingEye: yes, levels 1 & 2 | 19:58 |
| allSeeingEye | pmatulis: I'm working on 1. Did you use the practice exams at penguintutor.com to help? | 19:59 |
| allSeeingEye | I'm actually quite surprised at some of the questions. I've been managing linux systems for a few years now and it seems rather difficult to pass the practice exams @ penguintutor. I wonder how close they are to the actual exam. | 20:00 |
| pmatulis | allSeeingEye: no, just online info based on the outline given on the LPI site. for me, 1 and 2 were pretty basic. but you can be tripped up by inane questions | 20:00 |
| allSeeingEye | I'm hoping there aren't questions that have a potential of several answers, and you get it wrong b/c you don't answer it the way they want. | 20:01 |
| pmatulis | like multiple choice questions where each answer differs by a '.' or a '-' | 20:01 |
| allSeeingEye | are questions mostly multiple choice & true/false? | 20:02 |
| pmatulis | they are all multiple choice for 1 and 2 iirc. things change though. it was a few years ago | 20:02 |
| allSeeingEye | yeah | 20:03 |
| LuizAngioletti | I've done 101;] | 20:06 |
| LuizAngioletti | a few months back. | 20:07 |
| allSeeingEye | how was it LuizAngiloetti? | 20:07 |
| LuizAngioletti | Still multiple choice... and still some insane questions. | 20:07 |
| allSeeingEye | do you recall how many questions? | 20:07 |
| LuizAngioletti | I think that is described in the lpi.org page, isn't it? | 20:08 |
| allSeeingEye | probably, going to check | 20:08 |

| Feri_ | Hi. Sometimes I need make a copy from a hard drive onto a new one. To do that I boot Knoppix live, make partitions in a new disk, format them, and copy all files with rsync. I can make the new disk bootable, but in the fstab I must change UUID lines manually. Is there a method what can do that automatically? Eg. change /dev/sda1 to UUID=...? | 20:41 |
