RE: Installing Debian on a RAIDed partition

2000-05-10 Thread Robert Varga

The more up-to-date infos are:

root can be put on raid but /boot must be on a non-raid. Exception is
/boot can be on RAID-1 with some patches to lilo which are made by RedHat 
and I think are in the lilo found in woody.

the root-RAID-HOWTO is a bit outdated, or at least was a month ago, when I
installed a system on RAID (root as well). Look at raid-HOWTO for
up-to-date infos. I installed a system with every filesystem of it on
RAID-1  except for /tmp which is not preserved for next boot in any
case, and /boot since lilo in debian did not support RAID-1 booting at
that time. 

Use RAID 0.90 (you can convert older version RAID arrays), and raidtools2
package. The raidtools2 package also contains the mentioned RAID-HOWTO. I
set everything up as mentioned in it, and it worked without problem.

Booting did not work due to other problems (it did not want to boot even
the stock install, when RAID was nowhere in sight yet, some problem with 
SCSI settings I think, since I have the same problem with another SCSI
machine. It is using Adaptec 2940 UW). These problems don't have any
relation with RAID setup. Just put /boot in the first 1024 cylinder.

And of course read the whole HOWTO before you do anything to know what you
will be doing, or else you will be into some partition reorganization.
Preferably use a spare hard-drive for initial install.

The best would be of course to put a RAID0.90-supporting kernel on the
boot-disks, so that debian could be installed straight on raid without a
problem.

The kernel patches for RAID 0.90 can be found at

Well, debian's got it all covered:

Package: libapache-dbilogger-perl
Version: 0.93-1
Priority: optional
Section: interpreters
Maintainer: Michael Alan Dorman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Depends: perl5, libapache-mod-perl, libdbi-perl, libapache-dbi-perl,
libtimedate-perl
Architecture: all
Filename:
dists/frozen/main/binary-i386/interpreters/libapache-dbilogger-perl_0.93-1.deb
Size: 11588
MD5sum: 5bfe254bb58d8880a14cebe4a81b96d1
Description: Tracks what's being transferred in a DBI database
 This module tracks what's being transfered by the Apache web server
 in a SQL database (everything with a DBI/DBD driver).  This allows to
 get statistics (of almost everything) without having to parse the log
 files (like the Apache::Traffic module, just in a "real" database,
 and with a lot more logged information).
installed-size: 30


btw, why do you choose mysql? it ain't free, it ain't any good 
try Oracle, Sybase, PostgresSQl, 
they are ok, and Postgres is free

regards,
Dariush Pietrzak

   this is great help Dariush, thanks a lot :-)

   the reason why i chose MySQL is because its the first RDBMS i have ever 
tried :-) ...  i will try PostgreSQL someday.  were not considering oracle yet 
because a small group as ours cant afford it :-)

   thanks again,

iirc there is a module floating somewhere... search harder, you might
even have luck.

Also consider InterBase. The new version's source will go open 'til July,
is is a competitor of Oracle and Sybase and it's free.
www.interbase.com www.interbase2000.org
There's a very good Perl module for direct link with InterBase:
www.karwin.com/IBPerl
Also there you can find information about connection to Interbase with
DBI.

I think he should really make an upgrade to 0.79. There are much features
that adress delegated administration now - you can limit almost any aspect
of the system a user can see and edit. This adresses sendmail, users and
groups, dns (user jdoe can only administer jdoe.com) and much more.

raid

2000-05-10 Thread Fred K
Hello,
I'd like to configure raid 1 using the frozen 2.2 with a Mylex raid card 
(acceleraid 150).  Do I need the raid-1 kernel module?  Also, do I need the 
raidtools and raidtools2 packages?  Thanks in advance.

MySQL is faster and I believe easier.  I doubt he would need transactions
just to log Web stats.

Postgres seems very strong on the backend, but it needs some interface
work and a few more modules/routines built around it... I'm still using
it, though, and without performance complaint.
