Re: /usr/local -or- /local
Thanks for all the feedback. I've seen cases where, for example, a sub-dir of /proc is a mount point, and the mount point gets created before /proc is actually mounted. (Some script somewhere must be doing this, because the 'mount' command executable does not.) So a missing /usr/local (mount point) doesn't necessarily ensure that the two cannot get out of sequence. It doesn't matter all that much (to me) whether mounting /usr/local ahead of /usr can be prevented. The cascade of mounts is inelegant. So the question is simply if anyone sees problems with /usr/local being a sym-link to /local ... up one level. Doesn't sound like anyone thinks that is really a problem. I've got another one. Will make that another subject for proper threading. -- R; <>< On Tue, Jan 5, 2010 at 13:55, Richard Troth wrote: > folks -- > > Does anyone see or imagine or know of any negative impact from having > /usr/local be a symbolic link to /local?

Re: SLES 10 SP2 upgrade to SLES 10 SP3 error
To increase the size of /usr, the VM guys have added a disk for me, which has been formatted and mounted as /usrnew. I then ran the command "cp -Rv --preserve /usr/* /usrnew" as root from the "/" directory'. However, the USED space is different - 1.9G for /usr and 2.1G for /usrnew. I've looked on the web, and see that some recommend using switches -dpr or -a also.

locking dir for LVM and /etc/lvm/lvm.conf
For reasons that I won't go into, we found that LVM might get started before /var is mounted. (Activating volume groups; stuff like that.) But the stock locking directory for LVM is /var/lock/lvm. I've tried a couple of variants ... with no problems ... but am again asking the group for greater wisdom. Does anyone see a problem with using /dev/shm as the LVM lock dir? (Is always writable, but is shared by other things.) How about /etc/lvm/lock? (Needs to be created. Might not always be writable.) Either of the above HAVE WORKED in my experience up to now. But we're trying to balance what appears to be okay against what might cause a conflict later. Part of the envelop stretch is driven by RO media, which can be shared (and is appealing in virtual space, duh). Some stock directories, pointers, configurations don't necessarily drop right in (to RO) without changes. Small changes such as these are no brainers. (clearly should pose no prob) But will they later turn out to be brainless? (presenting copious pain and suffering) Thanks. -- R; <>< -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390

1) rsync: rsync -av /usr/ /usrnew It will preserve everything.. easy 2) Just use 'mv' ..mv /usr /usrold mv /usrnew /usr .. it's just a rename.. 3) rsync -avn /usr /usrnew Would show you what rsync would do - but not really do it (the -n option)... but there may be better ways to get what you want here -- I'm sure others will kick in.

I don't think that quite does what Dale wants, because it will move the files within /usr to /usrold on the root filesystem. What really needs to be done here is to remount the filesystems on the correct mount-points, not to rename file paths. So the right way to do it is with mount: mkdir /usrold mount --move /usr /usrold && mount --move /usrnew /usr The --move option atomically moves the filesystem, so there is no point at which it is unmounted. Open files on that filesystem will remain open, so it is OK to do the above when the filesystem is "busy" and is not unmountable.

Good points .. you're right - that would have been messy. And actually - since these are mount points -- no rename is really necessary -- just mount the correct device under /usr.

Re: SLES 10 SP2 upgrade to SLES 10 SP3 error
Yes - I've realized since this isn't a rename - it's a remount.. But SWEET! I didn't know about the --move option on the mount -- tres cool. That will come in handy...

I didn't try using /dev/shm, but I suspect it would be OK as long as you're using pathnames no one else would use. I do something similar with shared DASD, but I use a tmpfs for this. Mount it on /var, make the lvm/lock subdirectories, and bind-mount another sub-directory onto /etc/lvm if /etc isn't writable either. Then the LVM tools can do their stuff. Another option (with LVM2) is to use the --ignorelockingfailure option of vgscan. Because you're doing this during the boot sequence, you have complete control and nothing else will be running an LVM tool, so you don't really need the locks, right? - MacK. - Edmund R.

If you look at the files being complained about, you'll find they are broken symbolic links. The tar command doesn't care about the health of symbolic links, it just backs them up. Then, when you run the diff (which does care) you get the complaints because the targets of the links don't actually exist.

Re: SLES 10 SP2 upgrade to SLES 10 SP3 error
Thanks to everyone who's replied. I followed the process that was sent in http://www.linuxvm.org/Info/HOWTOs/movefs.html with the following deviation: I had already used yast to activate and format the disk as ReiserFS, and assigned it a mountpoint of /usrnew. I've followed steps 4 and 5. The yast process had already updated /etc/fstab to include the new disk with the /usrnew mount. For step 7, after the "tar" command was done, I edited /etc/fstab to change the mountpoint of /usrnew to /usr, and changed the old /usr to /usrsp2. I then rebooted. "df -h" doesn't show /usrsp2, even though there was an entry for it in /etc/fstab. I then check the partitioner in yast and there is an * besides it name in the column that has the mountpoint name. The /usr below is the new /usr that was just created. The old /usr, which I had updated /etc/fstab with a mountpoint of /usrsp2 doesn't show up under "mount" either. Question 1: What is happening that I can't see the old /usr, which I thought would have been mounted under /usrsp2? Question 2: Is everything OK? Question 3: Why do I still see /usrnew, which is not mounted? It's possible that when I was trying a 'mv" yesterday it was created by me. Question 4: I'm not sure of the purpose of step 8 in the HOWTO. I did the "telinit 1" and then the umount comes back with 'umount: /usr: device is busy', which I think subsequently killed the system. If the old /usr is on a disk that isn't mounted, is it necessary to delete what's on it, since the disk will probably be return to the VM guys for other purposes.

Question 3: Why do I still see /usrnew, which is not mounted? It's possible that when I was trying a 'mv" yesterday it was created by me. Question 4: I'm not sure of the purpose of step 8 in the HOWTO. I did the "telinit 1" and then the umount comes back with 'umount: /usr: device is busy', which I think subsequently killed the system. If the old /usr is on a disk that isn't mounted, is it necessary to delete what's on it, since the disk will probably be return to the VM guys for other purposes. Question 5: Is everything OK as it now sits?

Re: SLES 10 SP2 upgrade to SLES 10 SP3 error
1) You're old /usr showed up as dasdc1 on your previous posts.. What does lsdasd and cat /etc/fstab look like? Also - does the directory /usrsp2 exist? It must before it can be mounted to. 2) It looks like it :-) 3) You had to create /usrnew directory to mount to it ... now that you don't need it - you need to 'rm -r /usrnew' to get rid of it. Do an ls /usrnew to make sure nothing's under it. 4) That's to unmount/remount things like /usr which will show as busy if you try and unmount them at higher init levels. A reboot works just as well - if you have /etc/fstab setup correctly. 5) See #2 Scott On Wed, Jan 6, 2010 at 1:21 PM, Slaughter, Dale wrote: > Thanks to everyone who's replied.

I downloaded the DVD images (ISO). Extracted the files onto a SMB share (Samba on a Linux server) via WinAce. They show as uppercase in the WinAce display of the contents of the ISO.

Re: Install of SLES 11 via FTP...
Hi, Frank. I've just installed SLES11 via the ftp method here on a z/VM 5.4 system and I had no trouble. Two things to check: 1) I think you might have one too many "SUSE" in the directory pathuse /pub/outgoing/Suse instead of /pub/outgoing/Suse/SUSE 2) what type of FTP server (Linux on Intel, Windows, Mac, etc.) are you using?

Re: Install of SLES 11 via FTP...
Your problem is that all the file names are in upper-case (or perhaps that the FTP server is reporting them that way). I ran into a slightly different example of this problem using a Windows FTP client to transfer the files from a physical SLES 10 DVD in my desktop to a Linux FTP server, which I then attempted to install from. The Windows FTP client smashed the case of the filenames to all-lower and the YaST installer failed once it started looking for RPM packages. A different, case-preserving Windows FTP client was engaged, and the installer magically began working again. ok r. > -Original Message- > From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:linux-...@vm.marist.edu] On > Behalf Of Frank M.

Windows does not support the Red Rock ISO 9660 extension that is used for long names and symbolic links on a CD/DVD and, IIRC, the SuSE DVDs contain symlinks.

Re: /usr/local -or- /local
Richard Troth wrote: Thanks for all the feedback. I've seen cases where, for example, a sub-dir of /proc is a mount point, and the mount point gets created before /proc is actually mounted. (Some script somewhere must be doing this, because the 'mount' command executable does not.) So a missing /usr/local (mount point) doesn't necessarily ensure that the two cannot get out of sequence. It doesn't matter all that much (to me) whether mounting /usr/local ahead of /usr can be prevented. The cascade of mounts is inelegant. So the question is simply if anyone sees problems with /usr/local being a sym-link to /local ... up one level. Doesn't sound like anyone thinks that is really a problem. I think you are trying to solve a problem that does not exist. I disagree that nesting mounts is inelegant, and your hack belongs to the realm of Crude Hacks(tm). During system initialisation, expect filesystems to be mounted with the mount command thus: mount -a Expect that when this happens that the root filesystem is already mounted. According to fstab(5), the approved way to read fstab in a program is with getmntent(3). Since the documentation for that function does not state otherwise, expect that entries are returned in the order in which they appear. Since that is the standard way of programmatically reading /etc/fstab, it is reasonable to expect the mount command to do that. So, the solution to your problem is to order entries in fstab in the order in which you want them mounted, that is, /usr before /usr/local. Doing this in non-standard ways goes to increasing maintenance costs (you actually have to do extra work) and extra training costs (you have to explain to new hires why you do things in such a strange way). By all means put what I have said before blindly implementing it, I would call that "insurance." I've got another one. Will make that another subject for proper threading. -- R; <>< On Tue, Jan 5, 2010 at 13:55, Richard Troth wrote: folks -- Does anyone see or imagine or know of any negative impact from having /usr/local be a symbolic link to /local? One of my teammates is asking. I have personally endorsed this particular hack. It lets us have /usr and /local each be in their own filesystem and yet not have a mount fight. That is, if /usr/local and /usr were each unique filesystems, you could wind up with bad things like one FS hiding the other. (Rare, but possible.) So instead, I am in the habit of moving /usr/local to /local and letting there be a sym-link /usr/local. What then is the risk? Novell? RedHat? What do y'all say? Is there a problem with this?

sles11 - adding dasd & yast problem
I have just finished installing Sles 11, and now I need to add two mini-disks. The first is read only, the second is read-write. I tried running mkinitrd & zipl like I would for sles10, but it doesn't seem to be working. Mkinitrd is only writing 6 or 8 lines to the console (it writes almost a screen full on sles10), and it seems to be changing the disk identifier from dasdc & dasdd to dasda or dasdb so that /etc/fstab ends up being correct for the current ipl, but not the next. I guess zipl is working, at least the system seems to boot. If I run mkinitrd & zipl manually, the new disks don't seem to be picked up and added to the dasd configuration so they are avail for the next ipl. If I use yast->hardware->dasd to activate them, then the dasd id is changed, and the disks seem to be varied online at the next ipl. How do I get the dasd added and mounted at each ipl? Can I add dasd without using yast and if so how? What commands do I need to run? Problem #2 - When I try to run yast2, I get an error message that Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display "localhost:10.0" along with a bunch of other messages. I thought I saw something about Gnome in an earlier error message, and I did not install either Gnome of KDE since I was doing a z/linux install, and neither of these have worked very well on previous sles versions. yast seems to work so far, but I much prefer yast2. Can anyone shed any light on either of these problems?
