Makes sense as they're trying to be created as cross device hard links. What I don't understand is this: Dunno how SLES is creating your /etc/localtime. You can fudge-around the separate physical filesystems problem: ln /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Central /usr/share/zoneinfo/MYTIME mv /usr/share/zoneinfo/MYTIME /etc/localtime That way, if /etc and /usr are on the same volume, the files are hard links to the same physical file. But if they are on separate volumes, the intermediate hard link (MYTIME) gets moved to /etc and localtime becomes a copy. Maybe SuSE does something like this; maybe they do something else. Personally, I always make it a sym-link: ln -sf ../usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Central /etc/localtime This way, when you list /etc/localtime, you see where it points and you get additional info, like what timezone is really intended. Prior to /usr being mounted (if it is separate) your 'time' output reports as UTC. This is not usually a problem because files in Unix (and Linux, all POSIX) are stamped in UTC under the covers. -- R; -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 --=_NextPart_000_0027_01C5DA2D.D3091B20 Content-Type: application/x-pkcs7-signature; name=smime.p7s Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=smime.p7s MIAGCSqGSIb3DQEHAqCAMIACAQExCzAJBgUrDgMCGgUAMIAGCSqGSIb3DQEHAQAAoIIUKjCCA+Uw ggLNoAMCAQICBDnkl54wDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEFBQAwgYIxCzAJBgNVBAYTAlVTMRQwEgYDVQQKEwtX ZWxscyBGYXJnbzEsMCoGA1UECxMjV2VsbHMgRmFyZ28gQ2VydGlmaWNhdGlvbiBBdXRob3JpdHkx LzAtBgNVBAMTJldlbGxzIEZhcmdvIFJvb3QgQ2VydGlmaWNhdGUgQXV0aG9yaXR5MB4XDTAwMTAx MTE2NDEyOFoXDTIxMDExNDE2NDEyOFowgYIxCzAJBgNVBAYTAlVTMRQwEgYDVQQKEwtXZWxscyBG YXJnbzEsMCoGA1UECxMjV2VsbHMgRmFyZ28gQ2VydGlmaWNhdGlvbiBBdXRob3JpdHkxLzAtBgNV BAMTJldlbGxzIEZhcmdvIFJvb3QgQ2VydGlmaWNhdGUgQXV0aG9yaXR5MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0B AQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEA1agzOyb5NP/Nm37lBEfOAOJ9d+cxwi4npU1ouTG6jUNZl8dzqn89 XECeBeWh4onZTLg/m/kMtMhiGSxFrpEec3FBxEsT/XDCJawi9XULt1PkpSvdzr0cOnrD9xOPJlSc Fmtrr/vYlrFgmkjgJSIkeTTODiYAC06r/YvOgtcvCHBowagK+XRPB6uk+eKDfidzdD64+ThC/KWo W0gjs+vjJbKArpbUCpzCeJrGaBiuN2I3XlF1qFhjwFHuQHh+qK8aoOGweJ1QjHvns/yOI7DbZQBw hAEIABRuVIaausz5NxD24N6ELZ2khTfTh+MV0MEXkH4ZIWoSqXb9EgLpTyFeFwIDAQABo2EwXzAP BgNVHRMBAf8EBTADAQH/MEwGA1UdIARFMEMwQQYLYIZIAYb7e4cHAQswMjAwBggrBgEFBQcCARYk aHR0cDovL3d3dy53ZWxsc2ZhcmdvLmNvbS9jZXJ0cG9saWN5MA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBQUAA4IBAQDS J92cCncruyLyArVKSpH50S2+5LsaaO8OpADp7ufv7vb55XSkwthSWMR0+85rtTspeRha75vtH2s2 7kglJRS2VqIQ6O6nf9A/o9DDXSbuB8zDwSQhhx7fKhJTb0EW5+2ulPqMcvoTR/A8fq59EToT7O36 b3Jke519fyb9evslreo+KX9M4wBXMrCz6e1TF9mLshQOMOjl1RPGZK/EANXYWCT89Y/s8cd9pdsP J9HG8kCI5h/2Yaj0Qsi5N9OpvixWeMJym1ldNUCK6E5jGrbpIGpR4s6kkN92cJlccENNt7anGWRO krfFkTx/SBZlexb9y/z72dXWTyFlO0p/R6P7MIIEoDCCA4igAwIBAgIEQLJf7DANBgkqhkiG9w0B AQUFADCBgjELMAkGA1UEBhMCVVMxFDASBgNVBAoTC1dlbGxzIEZhcmdvMSwwKgYDVQQLEyNXZWxs cyBGYXJnbyBDZXJ0aWZpY2F0aW9uIEF1dGhvcml0eTEvMC0GA1UEAxMmV2VsbHMgRmFyZ28gUm9v dCBDZXJ0aWZpY2F0ZSBBdXRob3JpdHkwHhcNMDQwNTI0MjA0OTQ4WhcNMTQwNTI0MjA0OTQ4WjB4

Re: LVM fragility?
*** Reply to note of Fri, 10 Jun 2005 08:32:46 -0400 (EDT) *** by LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU The nice thing about LVM is that you can change the DASD addresses (disk letters) and still works as each physical LVM volume gets it own unique id (uuid). For example if you have an LVM group with 2 disks, dasdt1 (400) and dasdu1 (401), you can change them to dasdv1(402) and dasdx1(404) with no problems. Sal Neale Ferguson [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Change the order of dasd= in zipl.conf so that the new minidisk is last in the list so that the existing disks don't get their ids changed. -Original Message- At a customer site yesterday I found something that's either an amazing level of fragility in LVM or else I'm just not understanding it. (This is LVM V1; I understand V2 is a complete rewrite and probably avoids this, but that doesn't help with production on older 2.4 kernels.) They had a logical volume created from (say) dasdt1, dasdu1, dasdv1. Then we added a minidisk at a lower virtual address. This pushed the existing minidisks down, so the virtual devices in the LVM were now dasdu1, dasdv1, dasdw1! So I have several questions: 1) Have others observed this, or did we do something weird? 2) Is there an easy way to recover? 3) Is there another way to address the devices -- one of our guys suggested /dev/dasd/4001, /dev/dasd/4002, etc. instead of /dev/dasdt1, /dev/dasdu1, etc. (I plan to try this today, but thought I'd ask). 4) If the previous suggestion works, is there a reasonable way to change an existing LVM from the 'old' addressing scheme to the 'new' one? -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390

We're trying to determine how much real storage to include on this z890 processor. z890 storage comes in 8Gb increments. IBM tells us the HSA will be 1Gb and we plan to reserve 2Gb for the CMS workload. That potentially leave 5Gb for the zLinux workload and I'm trying to determine if thats enough, especially since I'll want to reserve a third or so of it for expanded storage. We haven't even tested Domino yet and have just one light WebSphere server running currently, so we don't have much effective feedback on storage requirements.

PARM and such [was: Linux under VM and Cloning]

Richard Troth [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: We're running into an unnecessary ugliness in zSeries with respect to booting and configuration. We need the PARM parm. There's a concept of a boot command-line. This is good. Often, the boot command-line can be overridden at boot time. This is VERY good. But support for override is slipping away from zSeries Linux.

On Thu, 8 Jul 2004, Adam Thornton wrote: Use multiple parmlines. There's the older Lucius Leland PARM LINE stuff, which I really like, which lets you do it very flexibly from CMS, and there's also actual official multiboot support in newer s390-tools. We really need proper support for parm handling. For those who do not know, VM has long time supported a PARM parm on the IPL command which effects a 64-byte parm string whether booting from device or from named saved system (NSS). SAN support breaks it. So when you're booting Linux on z/VM, you can append parameters, as long as you're on traditional disk or booting from NSS. ipl mylinux parm root=/dev/other init=/sbin/blahblah -or- ipl 2345 clear parm root=/dev/another mem=1024m -or- ipl 1AE clear parm dasd=1AC-1AF root=/dev/dasdc1 You get the idea. 64 bytes is small, but quite sufficient for most overrides. LOADPARM is another thing, and is seen in the hardware, so you z/OS folks are more familiar with that one. I don't like LOADPARM. At only 8 bytes, it doesn't foster entry of arbitrary boot parm text. The above examples do not fit into LOARPARM space. Any alternate boot parameters must be pre-set and stamped into a collection. SAN is good. But the z/VM support for SAN makes PARM an illegal option if the IPL device is SAN. Why is this? But while SAN support breaks ye olde PARM parm, it supplies a new thing. IBM calls it SCPDATA, but it looks like an arbitrar buffer which gets passed to the boot loader. I can't find mention of this outside of IBM (and SHARE) documentation, so I don't know if it is architected outside of zSeries. But it's there. IPL from SAN should pack a PARM string into SCPDATA space, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. There's a lot of value in managed systems having boot-time overrides containing arbitrary details. SUMMARY When booting Linux, there is the concept of a boot parameter line. We all know and love this as the parmfile used by ZIPL, LILO, GRUB. In many situations, some stage of the bootstrap will allow overrides to what is stamped on disk. THIS IS A GOOD THING.

EVMS scrapped?
It seems LVM 2.0 will be included in the 2.6 kernel and development of EVMS has been stopped. http://news.com.com/2100-1001-979142.html?tag=fd_top Sistina's announcement that LVM 2.0 would be incorporated into the 2.6 Linux kernel came shortly after IBM programmers working on their own competing Enterprise Volume Management System (EVMS) announced they would scrap much of their project. As recently as August, Dan Frye, head of IBM's Linux Technology Center, had hopes for EVMS. It's really a quantum step forward in ease of use, reliability and performance, Frye said in an interview at the time. But when top Linux programmers declined to include EVMS in the 2.5 kernel--the test version that will become 2.6--IBM decided to cut its losses.
