[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1484497] Re: [Wily] wakes up green drives without a valid reason

2015-08-24 Thread Ralf Mardorf
It's questionable if it should be considered a bug or not. The culprit
is smartd. Ironically I used the package smartmontools 6.3+svn4002-2 to
get smartctl, for testing if something wakes up a green drive. Despite
the policy to autostart everything by default, that can be autostarted
for better or worse, it's to consider if the default configuration, to
poll every 30 minutes, is a wise decision. By an EU Regulation all
external hard disk drives are forced to spin down and go to sleep after
a while. I disabled smartd.service, any unneeded service is unwanted on
my machine.

After disabling it, nothing does wake up a green drive anymore.

[root@moonstudio weremouse]# echo;date;t=10800;y=$(smartctl -A

The only spin is caused by smartctl, when it was executed on demand, to
finish the test.

  [Wily] wakes up green drives without a valid reason

Bug description:
  Hi,

  a minimalist Wily server install, around 4.5 GiB small does cause
  endless spin downs and spin ups, so that green drives get damaged. I
  maintain an around 37.5 GiB large Arch Linux install, quasi using the
  same software used by the Wily install and in addition a little bit
  more software, which isn't used by the Wily install. For Arch Linux I
  don't experience this issue. I expect the same for an Ubuntu install.

  I'm already hunting the culprit, see
  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-studio-devel/2015-August/006570.html 
and
  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-studio-devel/2015-August/006571.html,
  but run out of ideas.

  The claim the install is 2 GiB small is a typo, the backup archive is
  of that size.

  However, assumed Ubuntu won't contribute to
  http://andrewmcconnell.photoshelter.com/gallery/GoLuiBLHIsmM this
  feature should be removed from the defaults.

  Hi,

  a while back after an upgrade I lost synaptic's history. I can't
  remember when it happened and can't test by downgrading,
  /var/log/apt/history.log still is available.

  When running the current version with the lost history, there are a
  few glib messages.

  Currently just Claws, IceCat and a kernel are not from official
  repositories. Synaptic history also isn't available when using a
  kernel from the repositories. Other non-standard packages I want to
  use are rodent and libfm, but currently those packages are purged. IOW

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1484497] Re: [Wily] wakes up green drives without a valid reason

2015-08-23 Thread Ralf Mardorf
To rule out the kernel being the culprit, I build a kernel I'm using with Arch 
Linux, were green drives stay asleep. IMO it's not caused by the package linux.
There are no differences for the config, that are relevant for the issue.
It's unlikely that there were any additional patches used for the Arch Linux 
kernel, that are related to the issue.


The spin down/spin up test:

[root@moonstudio weremouse]# t=10800;y=$(smartctl -A /dev/sdc|grep
Lo|awk '{print $NF}');sleep $t;x=$(smartctl -A /dev/sdc|grep Lo|awk
'{print $NF}');printf \n$(uname -rm)$(lsb_release -d|cut -f2 -d:|cut
-f1 -d()\n$x-$y=$((x-y)) spins in $(($t/60/60)) hours\n

3.10.61-rt65-1-moonstudio x86_64Ubuntu Wily Werewolf 
15342-15333=9 spins in 3 hours

Arch Linux only makes one spin, when smartctl wakes up the drive after 3
hours.


That's how I build the Ubuntu kernel:

[root@moonstudio src]# export CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=2;wget
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.10.61.tar.gz
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/3.10/older/patch-3.10.61-rt65.patch.gz
 tar zxf linux-3.10.61.tar.gz
 mv linux-3.10.61 linux-3.10.61-rt65
 cd linux-3.10.61-rt65  gzip -dc ../patch-3.10.61-rt65.patch.gz | patch -p1
 cp ../config-3.10.61-rt65-1-rt-lts.01.edit .config
 make oldconfig  make menuconfig  make oldconfig
 date
 make-kpkg clean  make-kpkg --initrd kernel-image kernel-headers  
make-kpkg clean
 date


Most likely the Arch kernel just had two additional patches:

change-default-console-loglevel.patch
fix-race-in-PRT-wait-for-completion-simple-wait-code_Nvidia-RT.patch


Both kernels are configured with CONFIG_X86_64=y and CONFIG_X86=y.
That's the diff of the Arch and Ubuntu config:

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1484497] Re: [Wily] wakes up green drives without a valid reason

2015-08-19 Thread Ralf Mardorf
Thank you,

unfortunately it didn't fix the issue.

[root@moonstudio weremouse]# t=10800;y=$(smartctl -A /dev/sdc|grep Lo|awk 
'{print $NF}');sleep $t;x=$(smartctl -A /dev/sdc|grep Lo|awk '{print 
$NF}');echo $(uname -r) $x-$y=$((x-y)) spins in $(($t/60/60)) hours
4.2.0-040200rc7-generic 15287-15280=7 spins in 3 hours

This issue never appeared related to kernel configs or kernel releases.
I suspect the culprit gets executed at startup.

  [Wily] wakes up green drives without a valid reason

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  a minimalist Wily server install, around 4.5 GiB small does cause
  endless spin downs and spin ups, so that green drives get damaged. I
  maintain an around 37.5 GiB large Arch Linux install, quasi using the
  same software used by the Wily install and in addition a little bit
  more software, which isn't used by the Wily install. For Arch Linux I
  don't experience this issue. I expect the same for an Ubuntu install.

  I'm already hunting the culprit, see
  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-studio-devel/2015-August/006570.html 
and
  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-studio-devel/2015-August/006571.html,

Please mention the log files you need and I'll post them. For good
reasons I removed apport.
