LVM2 snapshot question
My main issue is using snapshots to backup a system implementing LVM2. I'm using LVM2 on a testing server, using ReiserFS as the filesystems for the partitions. The system is running 2.6.15-1-k7 as the kernel. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I would use the snapshot functionality to create a snapshot of a live system, and then backup the system using the snapshot instead of the actual system. This is because the snapshot only contains the data that has changed from the point in time that the snapshot happened, and the rest is just references to the unchanged data on the live filesystem. A snapshot is NOT a permanent backup solution by itself. The LVM howto, section 3.8, states that any filesystem that is to have a snapshot taken of it should be in a consistent state. I do maintain databases that reside on the testing server, and I am not sure how to verify that the filesystem is in a consistent state. Also the howto mentions a vfs patch for the LVM1, and that many filesystems automatically support it in 2.6. Does this mean that since my machine is using LVM2 and the 2.6 kernel that the locking is automatically done? I have done some reading regarding snapshots in general, and it seemed that if the filesystem was not in a consistent state, everything BUT the database would be fine. One of the suggestions was to use the snapshot feature on everything except the DB, and use a dump feature in the database, for example MySQL. Is there any suggestions, techniques or guidance that could be offered? Thanks,
Re: install with lvm and striping
On 5/12/06, Bram Biesbrouck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi all, The debian-installer allows to format disks using LVM, but it doesn't offer the opportunity to use striping. Is there a way I can do this during the installation process. If not, how do I re-partition my volumes using striping? Bram Could you let us know what your system is? Architecture Version of Debian being installed etc... Are you talking about hardware or software RAID? Based on the information in your post, I will assume the following: Striping Method: RAID5 via software RAID Architecture: X86 Number of discs:3 disc scheme: One partition per disc. Disc dedicated to RAID Array Installation media: debian-31r1-i386-binary-1.iso Once the installer is at the partitioning menu(Manually edit the Partition table): • For each physical disc: • Delete all partitions • Create a new partition(primary), using the whole disc • Use the partition as a "physical volume for RAID" Now you should see that each disc has one entry for each disc, using the whole disc, configured for RAID. Select "Configure software RAID" Accept changes to discs. In the RAID configuration menu: • Create MD device • Select RAID5 • Set the number of active devices to '3' see 1 • Set the number of spare devices to '0' see 1 • Press space to place a * in the brackets of all your drives, and continue • Finish You should now be back at the partitioning menu. There should now be a RAID5 device listed in the area where your other discs are listed. Use this as you would any normal disc, and the kernel should take care of any stiping that needs to be done * Note: 1 If you have more than three devices, you can activate a spare device that will be used in the event that one of your active devices fails. * Please take care, as I have not completely installed a system with the software RAID options. I assume you could split one disc into three partitions and follow the same steps if you only have one drive, but that would be pointless as any write would write three times to the same disc. Hopefully this was of some help.

You mention after using an X environment that the system freezes. Does this mean that you can successfully boot the system, and Xorg starts? Are you able to boot with a non-smp kernel successfully and not have the system freeze?

Megaraid HP Proliant ML330
I have a question regarding hardware RAID on a Megaraid controller. Using a netinstall etch CD, the installer recognizes my Hardware raid controller and the disks in it, but not the HW array. I have initialized a RAID 1 array in the setup utility provided after the machine posts. During boot, before any media is booted, the machine shows an that there is an array. The installer, however, shows each drive indepententaly. I'm not sure where to start looking, or what to be looking for. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Megaraid HP Proliant ML330
This may not be of assistance to the Megaraid question I have, but installing the system on one of the drives listed in the installer installs to just one drive. Even though HW RAID in active, it only access the individual disk. I tried to use software RIAD in it's place, but after I made the md devices, the system would go extremely slow, and lockup at 72% of reading the partition information after I 'Finish' with the software RAID section.

But you are right, I should have made myself more clear: aptitude removed every package kde depended upon *that were not yet installed* when I requested installation of kde. Question for you (anyone) then: If you install kde through aptitude, an aptitude marks Xorg as a dependency, and then install gnome a couple of days later, would removing kde also remove Xorg, or would it see it as a current dependency for gnome and leave it?
Bind9 DHCP3 ddns static lease question: Post successful setup
[stable]
I have a successful setup of internal ddns.
It works like a champ for 99% of what I need.
The problem is assigning static leases through dhcpd.
To be complete, here is some information that may com in useful:
Client:
uncommented line in /etc/dhclient.conf to
send host-name "3800-dc";
This worked wonderfully in my complete dhcp pool.
If I take a look at tail /var/log/syslog on the dhcp server, I have
some lines like the following:
May 16 07:02:16 localhost dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from00:13:d3:XX:YY:ZZ via eth1
May 16 07:02:17 localhost dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 199.30.30.89 to

May 16 07:02:17 localhost dhcpd: Added new forward map from

However, whenver I add the following to my dhcpd.conf
host 3800-dc {
hardware ethernet 00:13:d3:XX:YY:ZZ;
fixed-address 199.30.30.89;
}
I get lines like the following in the syslog:

00:13:d3:XX:YY:ZZ via eth1
I have found a work around to this problem. I can stop the DNS server,
delete the .jrnl files associated with my network, and add the entries
into the DNS files. Both the revers and forward looking zone files.
This is a working solution for just the few IPs I need static now, but
will become a pain in the rear in the near future.
I want to have static leases for all of my PCs connected to the LAN
(about 30) and use a truly dynamic pool for traveling laptops, new
loads, etc...
This is not just a debian specific problem. Once the static leases are
defined, in either Debian or WinXP (not my choice), the problem is
created.
As usual, any help is greatly appreciated.
/etc/hostname /etc/dhclient.conf question
Quick question about the two files mentioned above. If I change my hostname, I also have to change a line in /etc/dhclient.conf to update my hostname on the network. Is there a Debian Way to synch both of these files? Or should I create a script that creates the /etc/dhclient.conf at boot before the network interface comes up? Thanks a bunch.

That's what I had to do. I use m4 to create the dhclient.conf file on boot. Thanks for the info. What is m4?

"have to" is definitely wrong. > Is there a Debian Way to synch both of these files? Is there a real reason to do so? Note that /etc/hostname must not represent the name on the current network. This is even impossible at times where more than one network is attached. I don't understand why the hostname file "must" not represent the name on the current network. My aim is to have the hostname the same name as the DNS entry and DHCP log entry. If I were to have my hostname set to "abc" and the network sees my hostname via dhcp as "def" than any user would see the computer and think the computer name is "abc".

Multi-layered PKI implementation
Alright, I'm not sure that the subject line is completely correct, so please bear with me. When large buildings are keyed for locks, locks can be keyed for different layers of security. So, there might be the highest key, or skeleton key's used in old houses that opened all the doors, and multiple levels of sub keys, down to a key that opens only one lock. I think I have a grasp on the basics of PKI as it relates to X.509 certificates, but I'm wondering if there is a PKI implementation that allows for multiple layers of access built into the keys themselves. I don't know if this is possible, or even desirable. Thanks for any input or ideas, Eldowan
Re: Multi-layered PKI implementation
Thanks for the explanations, they are rather more indepth than I was expecting for an idle curiosity. Thanks for the verbosity and the need for clarification, they are always appreciated. As with many things, it is better to cut too long and adjust than to start short and really mess up. I did figure that the access control wasn't built into the scheme and would take an external ACL implementation to do something like this. In retrospect, I probably did have a slightly distorted impression of PKI, but the core I did understand. To all, thanks for the responses, they were greatly interesting. So, one final question: I would like to know more about encryption, the underlying infrastructures, etc. What would be, in the lists recommendation, a good place to start? Thanks for any help again, Eldowan
Virtual Folders
Is there anything around like the virtual folders in the MS Vista beta, or like Spotlight in OS X?Incase anyone is not familar with the term virtual folder:A virtual folder is basically a realtime folder view of saved searches. The folder looks through the entire index, and logically groups files together by filters instead of putting them in the same physical directory.I assume it works off of an indexing service.Any help would be great, I have looked through some of the Debian apt mirrors, and searched google, but have found nothing.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=352274
It seems that there is an issue with newer versions of udev.
Booting with version 0.084 and the 2.6.15 kernel looks to trigger the issue.
They sat it doesn't break anything just makes booting ugly.
So it seems that you have two options.
Stick it out untill a fix is available
or
keep using 0.079-1 untill there is a fix available.

Etch and kvpnc
I have need of connecting to a Cisco VPN server. On windows I can use the cisco VPN utility just fine; so it is not a connectivity issue. I have installed kvpnc and vpnc, so I should have all the packages I need. Also, I have transferred my *.pcf file from my windows box to my debian workstation. This is where the problem comes in.

I have tried running from the command line, but I run into a problem: vpnc asks for a group password. In my pcf file, the cleartext password is empty, but the encoded password is used. So, since I do not know the group password, this is what vpnc expresses on execution: vpnc output: --- vpnc: hash comparison failed: AUTHENTICATION_FAILED check group password! --- I guess My main question is if anyone knows of a way to use the encoded group password in vpnc.(option enc_GroupPwd in the pcf file) Any help is appreciated.

Debian Installer SATA detection
Display all headersDate: Mon, 25 Jul 2005 22:26:28 -0500 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SATA installer detection From: "Grant Thomas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Organization: Debian user lists I have a problem getting the Debian Installer to recognize my SATA controller. My computer is a ST20G5, a Shuttle small form factor PC. Currently I have an 80G SATA drive, and a 120G PATA drive to work with. I have been able to setup Debian with no problem on the PATA drive, but I would rather have the SATA working. I have confidence that the hardware is good, as I have installed XP to the SATA drive, and it works flawlessly. The SATA conrtoller is a ULi M5287. The methods I have tried are: Sarge netboot,netinstall,businesscard CD images and the last few daily builds of the netinstall and businesscard CD for the i386 and the AMD64 sections of the ports. I am at a loss of what to do, but have only come up with some information that may help in fixing this problem. Working off of a previous post by Jim Blake, I have the outpus of lsmod and lspci -v. My files are not after the hardware detection, as indicated in the previous thread, but on my installed debian system on the same machine. At this point the SATA is not crucial to the system working, but I would prefer to keep this entire drive(PATA) for data only. If it is not possible at this time to configure the drive for boot, I would also be interested in detecting the device and using it inside my current Debian install. Thanks for any help anyone may throw my way.

If you already have Debian installed on the PATA drive you could load the necessary modules (for SATA) using 'modconf'. You could then use chroot to install a debian system on the SATA drive. However, it would seem you want to do a fresh install and the installer is not picking up the SATA drives. Try # expert26 at the boot prompt. It will then give you access to many more modules for the install; I haven't checked the compatability list for the SATA controller. Or if you simply want SATA support without the extra prompts and options that 'expert26' gives, you could also enter 'linux26' at the boot prompt. HTH, Jacob I dont mind the expert26 option, but I am not sure which modules to load. I have tried before, but I wasn't even able to get my Broadcom NIC to work. Is there somewhere I could look for help configuring with the expert26 option? Unfortunately, the linux26 option does not recognize my drive. Thank you both for the help you have given. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Can't get more than 1024x768 even with the on-board card properly detected (XFree86+KDE 3.3)
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please. 1). I believe if you re-run the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86, there should be a section where it asks you which modes your monitor can display, if you choose either medium or advanced. 2.) Another method is to copy your XF86Config-4 file to XF86Config-4.old or similar, and manually edit it. I say copy it first, because if you make a change to it and then try to run dpkg-reconfigure, it will leave that file just as it it. Only try this if 1 does not fix the problem. Open the file in your favorite text editor, and look in the screen section, and you should see a portion that looks similar to:... SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection Add your desired resolution in front of each "1024x768" entry, making sure to include a space between quotes for consistency's sake. You only NEED to edit the line of your default bit-depth (which you can change in that file as well), but if for some reason you ever need to change your depth, this will take care of having to re-edit your file. Your modes lines should look something like this: Modes "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" Restart X. This should now get you loaded in your higher resolution. The fact that your resize app only shows 1024 probably means that you only have the "1024x768" settings and not smaller ones. Hopefully this will get you back on your feet.

On my system, testing, 2.6.11-1-686 kernel I am able to type the following: locate apt-get this will search the root drive with the permissions of whomever is logged in, and display the results at the command line. My machine returns the following.

Re: Can't get more than 1024x768 even with the on-board card properly detected (XFree86+KDE 3.3)
I have an HP tablet pc to work on, so I couldn't test with your
resolution, as mine
only scales to 1024x768. This is what I did, and it could help you.
when you start your X session, by default a log file is created at
/var/log/XFree86.0.log
type mv /var/log/XFree86.0.log /var/log/XFree86.0.log.old
this will just rename the logfile, so we can start a new one fresh.
then
type startx
open /var/log/XFree86.0.log in your favorite text editor.
Scroll until you see a line that looks like this (or something similar):
(II) Setting vga for screen0
this is the section where it probes your monitor for valid resolutions.
I took the modes lines out of my XF86Config-4 file, and this is where
it get interesting. X will probe a bunch of different screen settings
to find one that will work. In my case many of the default resolutions
do not work.
Scroll down and see if you find something similar to this.
(**) DRIVERNAME(0): Validated modes for display device DEVICENAME:
if this exists, the lines immediately after this will show the
resolution X believes are good. Then, just below this, would be
something similar:
(**) DRIVERNAME(0): Default mode "INSERT RESOLUTION": Scan freq. .
This will list all of the modes X deems as compatible with your current setup.
If your modes line contains an incompatible resolution, it will also
state this. above the (**) line.
(WW) DRIVERNAME(0): Not using mode "INSERT RESOLUTION" ("INSERT REASON")
If your log file states that your custom mode is incompatible, it will
take someone with more knowledge than I to help you.
I am actually new to Linux, and don't know nearly as much as I would like.
anyway, if this doesn't work post the contents of your entire
XF86Config-4 file, as well as the entire /var/log/XFree86.0.log file.
Until next time...

adding modules to an initrd image
I have recently installed Etch onto my computer, an ST20G5 from shuttle. I am using a SATA HD, which is on a ULI SATA controller. I am able to install to the hard-drive after I load the module manually in the installer via modprobe. Everything installs fine, but I have a problem on boot: When the initrd image tries to pivot_root, kernel panic happens because it can't read the root fs correctly, and I think it is because the SATA module isnt loaded by the initrd. Also the module sata_uli is not in the /etc/modules directory. I have tried just placing the module from the installer in /etc/modules so it would load on boot, but it since it can't find the fs to begin with, this is useless, as the initrd loads modules from the image. So, I have an un-bootable installation that needs an updated initrd image. How would I go about creating this image? Also, I do have a working installation on a PATA drive in the same system, so would it be feasible to make it there, since the hardware is the same? If so, and I were able to create a good initrd from within my existing installation, how would I make sure it loads from the SATA drive, and not the PATA drive? I don't mind booting to the PATA drive to make the system boot correctly, but information on how to make an initrd image for a foreign computer, or how to take an existing initrd image from a foreign computer and update it would be wonderful. Thanks for any help anyone may provide, I would really love to get the PATA drive out of use.

If I mount the initrd image, and make changes, then unmount it, will it still be a working image? Asuming that the sata module is not there, and I am able to add it to the correct directory, how would I manage to get it to load the module correctly?

Thanks for the help, hopefully this will be the last step to finally getting my machine going on my SATA drive.
Re: adding modules to an initrd image
Sorry to double post like this, but I forgot to ask a related question. If I am able to edit my initrd image and get it working, would it work in someone else machine that is of the same make/model? Another user has the same model I do, ST20G5, the motherboard is the same, but the disks / other devices may not be the same.

You might try this: step through the installer until it fails to find your nic. Now, press +F2, then press This will take you to a secondary console. After your nic detection has failed in the installer, type: modprove tg3 The nic driver should load. Now, press +F1 Retry the network detection. If it works for you the way it worked for me, problem solved. PS. There is a reason that I say wait until after the nic is not found. On my system, if I try to load the tg3 module right after the installer loads, it will not find the module. But, if I try to load it again, after the nic detection fails, it will find and load the module.
Re: adding modules to an initrd image
I tried to load the SATA modules from the installer into my install on the PATA drive, and receive this output: debian:~# modprobe sata_uli WARNING: Error inserting scsi_mod (/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko): Invalid module format WARNING: Error inserting libata (/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/drivers/scsi/libata.ko): Invalid module format FATAL: Error inserting sata_uli (/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/drivers/scsi/sata_uli.ko): Invalid module format debian:~# I did the following to try to get this to work. Loaded the installer, and mounted my PATA partition. loaded the sata_uli module, and noticed that the other two modules loaded before it, and figured that I would need a modules.dep addition to include the dependencies. So I copied all three modules to the scsi module location on my PATA drive, and updated the /etc/modules (PATA) to include sata_uli I also updated the PATA modules.dep like so: /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/drivers/scsi/sata_uli.ko: /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/drivers/scsi/libata.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko This is the weird thing: the line above this also has the scsi_mod.ko entry after the : They path to the scsi_mod is exactly the same on both lines, so I figure that the entry is not a problem. I do seem to remember that the installer used kernel 2.6.11 ro 2.6.12, but installs 2.6.8. I wonder if the installer kernel is new enough to warrant a module incompatiblity... Looks like I'm stuck for the moment...

The installer should do this for you, but if not, you should be able to place a new line in the /etc/modules file called tg3 echo tg3 >> /etc/modules you will have to do this with root privelages.

I use it as my preferred browser. If you like a minimalistic approach (I do), there is a skin caled Breeze Micro, you can get it from the community section of Opera.com Some sites I still have to use IE - when in windows. Other than that, I really enjoy the browser, it even has an integrated email client / mail reader / rss reader / irc client options. And love the mouse gestures. What is adblock?

Earlier this week, I started using tc to do shaping on my network.
I came across a great resource:
www.lartc.org
The article I am referencing is:
http://www.lartc.org/howto/lartc.cookbook.fullnat.intro.html
One of the main differences between this setup and yours is in the host's setup.
Instead of declaring a host for the server, it defaults all traffic to
the lowest class, and discriminately boosts the priority of certain
hosts, protocols, destinations, etc using iptables.
Here is a quick excerpt:
He recommends using 75% of your max bandwidth to prevent excess lag.
CEIL=75
tc qdisc add dev ippp0 root handle 1: htb default 12
tc class add dev ippp0 parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate ${CEIL}kbit ceil
${CEIL}kbit
tc class add dev ippp0 parent 1:1 classid 1:10 htb rate 60kbit ceil
${CEIL}kbit prio 0
tc class add dev ippp0 parent 1:1 classid 1:11 htb rate 12kbit ceil
${CEIL}kbit prio 1
tc class add dev ippp0 parent 1:1 classid 1:12 htb rate 3kbit ceil
${CEIL}kbit prio 2
tc filter add dev ippp0 parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 1 handle 1 fw classid 1:10
tc filter add dev ippp0 parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 2 handle 2 fw classid 1:11

snmp: eth0 opertaionally down
Hello all and thanks for the help. I am using MRTG to monitor and archive bandwidth usage on my router's ethernet ports. However, I have run into a problem with eth0 reporting as down. when I do the following command: snmpwalk -v 2c -c community localhost interface the following values are returned, which are incorrect. IF-MIB::ifSpeed.2 = Guage32: 0 IF-MIB::ifOperStatus.2 = INTEGER down (2) However the MAC address shows correctly, ifInOctets has a value of 1601527752 ifOutOctets has a value of 2823843372 ifAdminStatus is correct at up (1) I think this means that even though snmp / the system is showing eth0 operationally down, it is still keeping tabs on the passed data. ifconfig doesn't show any obvious points to investigate, and the router is currently running without any problems. I have tried to use snmpset to manually set the speed and status, but both values are not writable(I did use a rwcommunity account). I have brought eth0 down, and then back up, but it does no good. It may also be worth mentioning that at first eth0 was reporting ifAdminStatus as down (2) But when I took it down and back up it has shown correctly, and has ever since. I am reluctant to bring the reboot the router, as it is used by our operation 24x7 Please advise. I have looked online, but can't find any solutions. Again, I thank you all for any help anyone can provide.
Problems with IP address change
Hello all, and thanks for any help in advance. The problem I am having today is dealing with changing the external IP address of a router / firewall. To change the IP address, I edited the /etc/network/interfaces file, and changed the address from xx.xx.97.99 to xx.xx.97.100 Then I ran the following: ifdown eth0 ifup eth0 ifconfig ifconfig shows the correct address of xx.xx.97.100 I thought all was well. When I go to any site, the address is still reported as xx.xx.97.99 I have tried rebooting the machine, but to no avail. A little background would be helpful. This machine is a firewall / router, used for a network of about 30 users. The firewall is iptables, and is runnint tc for traffice control. The machine is also the dhcp and dns server. The external interface, eth0, is connected by ethernet to a T1. The T1 is accessed through a Cisco router. In addition to this, something else happened on an ip address change, after the reboot. I changed the address from 97.99 to 97.100, and the machine would see its gateway, 97.97. It would not pass any packets past that however. Once I changed the address back to 97.99 packets started passing no problem, and I didn't reboot the machine either. Now, if I change the ip address back to 97.100, the internal network can access the internet with no problem, but the router has extrememly high latency pinging, etc. Thinking it could be an ARP problem, I also restarted the Cisco router, but to no avail. I have checked the iptables configuration, as well as the tc configuration. Neither of these files references the specific 97.99 address, refering to the port as eth0 instead. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all so much.
