OK - so basically, even though it can't repair damage, (as there is no
parity) at least it can flag up that checksums didn't check.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Scrub on single ZFS volume

2023-10-23 Thread Michelle
I'm having problems getting this question answered via the usual google
search, so I thought I'd ask here.

Situation... Server has three drives in ZFS RAID... they're not the
problem. I have external USB drives that I hook up, in order to take a
backup of the data. It is also ZFS. (I actually have smaller drives
hooked together in RAID 0 to cope with the large amount of data.)

The question is... how do I check the integrity of the data on the
single backup volume? Does a scrub still make sense when there isn't
any parity?

Test run again with wireshark on the client...
http://www.msknight.com/files/wireshark.pcapng

Server is 192.168.0.2 and the test is a file, open in Bluefish, is
altered and then asked to save.

Bluefish doesn't give an error, but the operation fails and the
temporary save file is left intact.

It was captured with snoop, so presumably you'd need snoop -i to read
it?

I'll have to look up snoop and how to use it. Won't get the time to sit

Good suggestion. I'll research NFS again, see if I can remember where I

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] SMB NFS not sure where to go

2023-09-25 Thread Michelle
Apologies for the delay. Chores last night and just about to start
work.

Previously I had forced the version to 1.0 and then had to step up for
some reason. I now don't specify a version on the mount and both
servers connect on 3.1.1

I think that the current problem was actually causing me to think that
the version number was the problem... until I'd exhausted all
versions... but given that experience, I doubt that forcing version
numbers will help here.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] SMB NFS not sure where to go

2023-09-24 Thread Michelle
I think I recall... there's something I do which can't be done in NFS.

I mount a share in read only, and then when I want to write to an area
I unmount it and re-mount it as a different user... and when I'm done
writing to it, then I unmount it and re-mount it as read only again...
to prevent accidental deletions, etc.

I don't think I could do that in NFS.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] SMB NFS not sure where to go

2023-09-24 Thread Michelle
By the way, while xed gives an error... if editing a file in Bluefish
and saving it to the share, there is the syslog entry but there's no
actual warning to the user that the file hasn't saved.

It's a case of open a file in bluefish, change it, save it, then open
it again and the changes aren't there... that's a scary situation that
I can't cope with any more.

2023-09-24 Thread Michelle
I can only remain on a version for so long. Eventually, updates have to
happen, or an OS reinstalled, or something. I'd only be delaying the
inevitable. Plus, I've updated a number of times now I've forgotten the
last version that worked!

Time to call it quits.

I just updated all packages and tested again...

\\192.168.0.2 RFC 1002 unknown response type 0xfe

locks rc = -22

I'm at the end. Nowhere else to go.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] SMB NFS not sure where to go

2023-09-24 Thread Michelle
I would like to give my thanks to all who have run and maintained
OpenIndiana for the many years it has been available. 

I have been using it since big red took the reins of Sun and changed
the license of Open Solaris, as it gave me access to ZFS; a product
that has made a big difference in my personal computing life.

The community has been welcoming and patient with me despite my novice
questions. I just wish I had the skills and time to be able to
contribute to the project but my job, my caring duties and looking
after a home have left me with little personal time... especially in
this last few years.

Unfortunately this latest issue with CIFS/SMB has been quite a
disruption and with little way to make progress, I’ve determined that
as the problems have persisted despite changing the client from Mint to
Ubuntu Cinnamon, I now have to change server platform. I’ll be
replacing my OI servers with Debian over the coming weeks.

Thank you all for your patience and help over the years.

Michelle.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] SMB NFS not sure where to go

2023-09-19 Thread Michelle
OK, I've now upgraded the client to Ubuntu Cinnamon 22.04 

Accessing the text file on the OI share via BlueFish this time, and
making changes and saving, I get (in syslog)...

Sep 19 20:49:47 mich-desktop kernel: [13839.060593] CIFS: VFS:
\\192.168.0.2 RFC 1002 unknown response type 0xfe
Sep 19 20:49:47 mich-desktop kernel: [13839.060714] CIFS: VFS: Push
locks rc = -22

Same behaviour as before when using xed on Mint. If I delete and then
save, it works. And if I attempt to rename a file that's in use (eg. a
video) then I get resource unavailable.

I have no realistic option now other than to conclude that it's the
OpenIndiana side of things.

I'd be grateful for guidance on whatever I need to file a bug report
please.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] SMB NFS not sure where to go

2023-08-07 Thread Michelle
Apparmor is, indeed running, so I created a profile and put it to
complain mode... noting that Libre Office is also in complain mode
already.

However, xed still fails with the same issue. It is, apparently,
writing a temporary file and presumably failing... the same way that
copying a file from the local machine to the share is failing...

... copying the file to a temporary .gooutputstream file but then
somehow failing to delete the file that is about to be replaced.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] SMB NFS not sure where to go

2023-08-07 Thread Michelle
I'm starting to believe that upgrading Linux has installed apparmor ...
and it's likely that apparmor is now getting in the way of various
applications.

I hate apparmor. I mean, I understand why it's there and the theory of
what it does, but I've never had much luck controlling it.

I need to read up and find how to tell apparmor to stop controlling xed
and nemo, and see if that works.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] SMB NFS not sure where to go

2023-08-07 Thread Michelle
I've translated up to the same cifs-utils version up to Mint 21.2
Victoria kernel 6.2.0-26 which is as far as I can go. I have also
turned on nbmand on, on the servers.

Oddly enough, Libre Office Writer can open and save the file on the
share. "Text Editor" otherwise known as xed 3.4.3 ... can't. It reports
the resource  unavailable error.

Copying a file from network share to local machine using Nemo 5.8.4
successfully copies the file, but the progress bar stops at 50%. I've
still got the reports of the push locks and ...

Aug  7 22:14:23 main-desktop kernel: [ 5181.959819] CIFS: VFS: Push
locks rc = -22

works. Again, it looks like there's a problem deleting the original

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] SMB NFS not sure where to go

2023-08-07 Thread Michelle
After that updating, I now have a problem copying files to and from the
share and the client.

Firstly... using command line to go onto the share and use Nano to edit
a text file... no problem.

Using Nano to browse to the mounted share, open in Text Editor, edit
and then save... it gives "resource unavailable."

When using Nemo to copy from the share to the local Linux machine, it
copies the small test file successfully, but hangs on the "progress
bar" which never closes. I have to kill Nemo.

When using Nemo to copy from the local Linux machine to the server
share, it copies up the file using the temp name, but can't actually
replace the file.

If I manually delete the file from the server, and then copy the file
up to the share... it works.

All the time, this...

Aug  7 16:54:16 main-desktop kernel: [  772.668915] CIFS: VFS: Push
locks rc = -22
... is prevalent in the client side syslog when this is happening.

There was a previous post in mid 2022 about a bug on Linux and that the
workaround was to force vers=2.0 but I've tried that and there's no
change in the behaviour.

From what I've read, my nbmand property is best set to off, which is
what it is. Or do I have that wrong?

I'm now at a loss as to where to continue looking.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] SMB NFS not sure where to go

2023-08-07 Thread Michelle
I did a quick test after updating and rebooting both servers.

Copying files from one of the servers (panther - 0.4) to another server
(jaguar - 0.2) via the Linux client ... resulted in the following in
the log on the client, however, there was nothing in the syslog on
either of the servers.

There does seem to be a mention of a patch in Linux SMB as of late June
this year, but having said that, there seem to be a number of patches
throughout the years regarding this, but I'm unable to get a grip with
it.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] SMB NFS not sure where to go

2023-08-06 Thread Michelle
OI server is at...
 OpenIndiana Hipster 2022.10 (powered by illumos)

Client is Linux Mint...
Distributor ID: Linuxmint
Description:Linux Mint 21
Release:21
Codename:   vanessa

I'm continuing to have problems with SMB shares. Even mounting with no
cache...
sudo mount //192.168.0.2/jaguar /mnt/jaguar -o
username=michelle,password=password,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,cache=
none
...
//192.168.0.2/jaguar on /mnt/jaguar type cifs
(rw,relatime,vers=3.0,cache=none,username=michelle,uid=0,noforceuid,gid
=0,noforcegid,addr=192.168.0.2,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,soft,nounix
,mapposix,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,bsize=1048576,echo_interval=60,actime
o=1)

(for info, the UID of michelle is the same on client and server)
...I'm getting, "resource unavailable," on various read-write/rename
operations including deleting files. Say, sixty files, three will fail
to delete giving "resource unavailable" and then I have to delete them
again, and they'll go.

When the Linux client hits resource unavaialble, there's nothing in the
Linux messages and nothing in the OI /var/adm/messages either, that
gives a hint of what's going on.

Having hit a brick wall with CIFS, I'm trying to configure an NFS share
against user rather than machine IP, but I'm getting nowhere.

zfs set sharenfs='rw=.:michelle' panther
cannot set property for 'panther': 'sharenfs' cannot be set to invalid
options

I'm tying myself in knots because it seems that there's "legacy" NFS,
ZFS NFS with different options/restrictions and I'm not sure where to
go. If I read correctly, only ZFS NFS is installed by "default" on a
new OI installation, but I'm not about to start going installing stuff
until I have a better idea what I'm doing.

One reason I set some shares against user permissions is to protect
against ransomware. I unmount and re-mount rw when I want to write to
them, hence pure hostip is a problem for me.

I don't know where I'm looking for either option.

Hence the decision to look to NFS (which I've never really had to
handle before) and I'm hitting trouble there.

Grateful for thoughts and advice.

Michelle.

Thanks Tim.

That's very useful learning info. I didn't know about the --prune-
empty-dirs option.

I guess I'm guilty of cribbing what I need from the internet and never
learning things properly.

Oh for the time to do all the things I would like to!

Many thanks,

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Deleting empty directories

2023-08-02 Thread Michelle
At the moment I'm doing something on an OI server which is executed by
a Linux client. However, due to the "Resource temporarily unavailable
(11)" through the linux mounting (even with the cache off, etc.) I'm
having to try and replicate this on the OI server itself.

Basically, I extract all the flac files out of my main music
collection, to a separate location, (using rsync) and then I have to
delete the empty directories that rsync has created.

I managed the first part, no problem. However, it's the deleting of
empty directories that is causing me trouble.

The Linux command is...
find /mnt/jaguar/users/michelle/FlacCopy -type d -empty -delete
...however the OI version of find doesn't support -empty

I've tried to install gfind, but that doesn't appear to be available.

I've tried to follow various scripts... (the below is just to print
empty directories at the moment, for testing)
find /mnt/jaguar/users/michelle/FlacCopy -type d | xargs -i ls -ed {} |
awk '{if ($5=="2"){ print $0 }}'
...but I fall foul that some of the names in the directories contain '
(eg. Sinead O'Connor) which then causes the command to fail with,
"xargs: Missing quote"

Any clues would be gratefully received.

Michelle.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Readahead Batch error

2023-07-21 Thread Michelle
Hi Till,

Sorry ... to start from the beginning...

When I buy a Blu Ray or DVD, I digitise them because many of my devices
don't actually have drives these days.

They are, "dumped," to a large network share on one of my OI servers.

In order to sort them, I have to play them and then rename them once
I've identified what they are.

However, trying to rename them now that I've moved from 1.0 results in
a "Resource Temporarily Unavailable" error message and I have to
terminate the video playing, before I can rename.

I looked up the error in syslog and assumed it was related... which it
appears that it might do.

The cache=none does appear to have solved the errors in the syslog, but
my ability to rename a file when it's playing, is still happening.

Confusingly I have two OI servers, built with the same version, at the
same time, and they connect at different vers. One reports 3.0 and the
other reports at 3.1.1 and the mount commands are the same, so I've got
no clue as to how they are connecting at different versions.

I've tried to look up mans for "mount" with the cache option, and I
can't find any that explain that particular option.

I think I'll go find a brick wall somewhere and bash my head against it
for a while :-)

Michelle.

Hi Till,

Unfortunately it didn't work.

I tested by running a video and then attempting to rename it while it
was running.

Previously it worked on ver 1.0 but even with cache=none and ver=3.0 it
failed to rename with the resource temporarily unavailable.

I'll read up on the cache variable and see what options I can try.

Michelle.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Readahead Batch error

2023-07-21 Thread Michelle
Can't work out why I'm getting this, which is causing problems
accessing/renaming/moving files, more specifically if they're in use by
another process, which used to be no problem under vers=1.0

...but obviously I'm not going to shift back to vers=1.0. I did try
connecting at 2.0 and also leaving the vers off the command (detailed
later) but no change in behaviour.

Looking the error up on the internet has not given anything that I can
believe is relevant to this particular combination of client and
server, etc.

OI server is at...

[OpenIndiana-discuss] USB Protocol

2023-04-18 Thread Michelle
I had an incident with a backup set and I thought I'd ask if there are
any extra steps/commands I can take/do when adding and removing USB
external drives.

Basically, HP Gen 10 Plus running the latest Hipster, updated a few
weeks ago.

Hooking up an 8th external drive with a ZFS set on it (I actually have
two) ... and I had previously backed up to both of them with rsync a
week-ish ago.

Come last night, I hook up one drive, import the zpool, do the rsync,
export the rpool and switch off the caddy. Then put the other drive in,
switch the caddy on and attempt an import, but there was no pool on the
drive.

I had to re-create the pool and do a full rsync.

I'm putting this down to bad hygine on my part and I was wondering
whether there is anything I can do to improve my handling of using
external USB caddys for backup.

No worries...

pkg install rsync 

It was already in the library!  I should have tried that first.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Best way to install rsync

2023-03-31 Thread Michelle
I've got OI minimal install loaded and rsync isn't there.

Some sources are suggesting downloading from Oracle. Others to compile
it.

I was wondering what would people recommend in order to get rsync onto
the installation please?

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Default SMB file permission

2023-03-30 Thread Michelle
I'm bashing my head a little.

I have a newly built OI server and I've got a share out through ZFS smb
share which is being accessed from a Linux client.

Every file written comes in with 700 and I need to change that default
to 740.

I believed that was a setting in smb.conf rather than umask but I think
I'm getting my linux and unix mixed up. But I can't find smb.conf
anyway.

Oddly the file does show -rwx--+ which potentially indicates an acl
applying

The guid bit for directory permission inheritance is working. It's just
newly created files.

I'm going to lie down because my head is hurting.

The certificate part of the question has been solved.

Apparently when clicking "remove certificate" it pops up further notice
that it will not only remove the certificate, but it will generate a
new one automatically and reset iLO. 

Bingo. Another 5 years certificate.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] VIM and HP cert

2023-03-29 Thread Michelle
I just bought myself a new (to me) HP Gen 10 Plus and put OI-Hipster-
minimal-20221123 on it.

On using crontab -e I get...
E1187: Failed to source defaults.vim

A lot of conversations on the web say this is a bug in a certain build
and that it was fixed last year. I was wondering if it's just got to
make its way into OI at some point, or perhaps I should just update the
system? Or possibly if another editor is installed that would be easier
than VI commands :-)

Thought I'd ask people's thoughts before I do anything.

Also, this server has iLO 5 but the default self cert on the server
only lasts five years. While I've used certs with proper trust chains,
the one for this would need to be self-signed, but I'm presuming I'm
going to have to put some form of cert trust in first... I'm checking
with people first because if I get this wrong I could seriously bork
iLO and stuff myself up something chronic.

... or is there a way to SSH to iLO and get it to generate its own
certificate for 20 years or something.

Self signed certs can be a whole world of pain if I get it wrong.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts and advice.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] OI on HP Gen 10 Microserver

2023-02-16 Thread Michelle
Hi Rolf,

Thanks for this.

What I find interesting is that looking at the data sheet, etc. there
is no clear indication that two are 6G and 2 are 3G. They aren't
exactly up front about it.

That's what's worrying me about the 10+, I can't find anything that
spells it out what the ports are capable of.

However, it does appear that the 10 is a Marvell controller and doesn't
advertise raid 5, whereas the 10+ is a Smart Array S100i controller and
supports raid 5, so I would have believed that they will all be 6G. If
they advertised RAID 5 and one of the drives was operating at half the
speed, then they'd likely be in for a bit of a backlash I would have
thought.

The only way to find out for sure... if someone doesn't already know...
is to wait until I've got it, put some drives in and see what the BIOS
says that the drives are connected at.

At the moment, given the bug that Carsten mentioned with booting rpool
from USB, I'm thinking of using one bay for SSD (with an SFF LFF
adaptor caddy) and the other three for the spinning rust. Backup drives
will just have to be attached by USB 3 caddy, I guess.

Michelle.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] OI on HP Gen 10 Microserver

2023-02-16 Thread Michelle
The target server is actually going to be the Gen 10 Plus...
https://uk-new.ingrammicro.com/site/productdetail?id=2M2SBG9

The specs are light on the exact specs of the speed, but the manual
doesn't help either...
https://www.serversdirect.co.uk/PDFs/P16006-421_1_7006250_Original.pdf?v=27

The best they say is... "The embedded HPE Smart Array S100i SR Gen10
Controller supports SATA drive installation. This controller supports
RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10" ... and it would be a bit odd for them to
support RAID levels like that and have two ports down to 3Gbs.

Grateful for any insight.

Michelle.

That's great. Cheers for that.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] OI on HP Gen 10 Microserver

2023-02-16 Thread Michelle
One of my older servers has died and I'm looking to replace with a Gen
10 microserver.

On my N54L, there are four bays, but a top CD bay where the operating
system drive sits with OI on it, leaving me with four bays for spinning
rust.

However, on the Gen 10 I've looked at the motherboard and I can't see
anything other than a USB connector and the SATA harness connector. I
can't see a DVD/CD drive either.

Has anyone managed to get OI on another drive, or am I going to have to
take up a bay for the OS drive please?

Thanks for any hints and advice,

Michelle.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] ZFS tolerance

2022-10-29 Thread Michelle
Hi Till,

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm deliberately trying to push the envelope. I believe that ZFS will
act as a buffer between drives and run at the slowest device speed, but
I'm wondering if there is a threshold where ever ZFS will throw up its
hands and give up.

I'm trying to make a ZFS pool focused on resilience, while using drives
that are already laying around. Performance is understandably going to
take a hit.

The vision is a pool consisting of a number of mirrored vdevs.

I mean... if I had a load of hard drives on SATA and connected another
drive via SATA to USB adaptor, would ZFS still handle it and slow down,
or would it throw a fit?

Many thanks,

Michelle.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] ZFS tolerance

2022-10-29 Thread Michelle
Hi All,

I am doing a small idiotic project, putting together odds and sods of
hard drives to make a RAID set. You know the kind of thing, the hard
drives that are remnants of old projects but you don't want to throw
them out because... well... they work!

So I was wondering that in a pile of hard drives, 5400 to 7200 RPM,
green and red drives than spin down and up again, and blue/black drives
that keep running

Just how much tolerance does ZFS have regarding the timings of using
different devices? Particularly when under sustained transfer to the
server.

My target will be RAID 0+1 with partitions on larger drives, to pair
against smaller drives.

Grateful for any thoughts/information please.

Many thanks,

Michelle.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] ZFS 0+1 across disparate drives

2021-12-02 Thread Michelle
It is a possibility, but LTO-8 drives are still £3,000+ for just the
drive. The drive would also then be the weakest link, and quite an
expensive one.

With 10Tb NAS drives coming in at £300 each, that's £1,200 for four
drives with 30Tb capacity at RaidZ. An extra as spare, or two extras
for RaidZ2 and a spare, and you still haven't broken £2,000.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] ZFS 0+1 across disparate drives

2021-12-01 Thread Michelle
Good advice. Thanks for taking the time.

This remains one question ... can drives and partitions be mixed in a
ZFS pool?

This project is a backup project which is actually a backup of a
backup, if that makes sense.

The original data is spread across two servers, one running OI (the
main data store) and a Cisco NAS (my video/rip store). These are backed
up to external drives, with two backup sets for each. So I already have
a situation with one RAID resilient copy of the data, along with two
full external backups of the data.

But I have a series of odd drives hanging around, as many people
probably do. And I want to do something useful with them.

The only other alternative is to dismantle and trash the drives.

So I am going to undertaken this project, and document it, so that
others in the same situation can find some use for their drives as
opposed to simply throwing away perfectly serviceable drives.

Yes, the drives are going to be disparate. Most of them are WD Red
units, one is WD green. For this project I will also be re-using an old
motherboard which has been sitting in the attic for years.

The operating system will be on its own SSD drive, and the whole thing
will be documented so in the case of an OS failure, the drive can
easily be rebuilt and reconfigured... because all the notes are there.

So... yes... partially I'm doing this for the hell of it. And hopefully
my success or failure will be documented and of use to other people. I
have a small youtube channel - not monetized - where all this will
ultimately be recorded.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] ZFS 0+1 across disparate drives

2021-12-01 Thread Michelle
You're perfectly correct. After I put the command together, I realised
that I'd made a mistake in putting raidz in there. 

The balance of partitions and using those instead of drives... I hadn't
thought of that. I guess I'm just too used to thinking at the drive
level for ZFS.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] ZFS 0+1 across disparate drives

2021-12-01 Thread Michelle
I'm trying to achieve a resilient way of bringing together all my older
drives for a backup solution using scraps of whatever I can get my
hands on.

I have closing on 12TB of data so even the 10 won't be enough to back
everything up, but this is as much for the exercise of doing it, as
achieving anything solid. It won't be under pressure, but I'd rather
push the envelope and see what I can do.

So how would the command go?

zpool create tank raidz mirror drive1 drive2 mirror drive3 drive4
drive5

...which is where I come unstuck with the 2TB drive in the mix.

2021-12-01 Thread Michelle
That's a workable solution. As you say, not as elegant as RAID, and if
one drive went down on the live set, it would render the share
inaccessible... but it would work in principle.

Thanks for the suggestion.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] ZFS 0+1 across disparate drives

2021-12-01 Thread Michelle
This is probably going to be a stupid question, as I know that several
year ago, the answer to this question would be no... but times change.

Like many people, I have a collection of disparate drives sitting
around doing nothing.

I was thinking of getting them together in a RAID 1+0 configuration.

Say I was to put a 2tb, three 4tb and a 6tb together (a 2 and two 4
would make 10 and the other 4 and the 6 would also make 10) 

Would that be possible with ZFS now?

AHCI was already enabled. The IDE mode was legacy, so I've turned that
off and a few other settings, but there's only so far I can go.

So far, the OS is booting without the need for re-installation as it
was already AHCI... but... well

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Rpool uncorrectable error

2021-08-29 Thread Michelle
I've done workaround number 5 in that document.

The system has been working for years, and I'm not sure about the
AHCI... will have to look at that as that will require an OS rebuild, I
believe.

The only thing that's changed before this started happening, was the OS
upgrade. But obviously there's hardware degradation over time to deal
with.

I'll put a backup and then rebuild on the radar for the next few days,
and see what other suggestions come up.

Output from fmadm faulty only gives the error which happened when I
brought up the unit without the tank pool inserted... just in case.

That's as far as I know to go.

I have the machine up and running and issued a zpool clear against
rpool. At least as long as it lasts.

Reading things from ten years ago, I've disabled the microcode... it
seems to be all I can do. I'm not expecting that to be the issue but...
hey.

Nothing in /var/log/syslog which gives any clue. Last message was 23:05
from sendmail, and then at 11:46 on a failure to gethostbyaddr after a
reboot.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Rpool uncorrectable error

2021-08-29 Thread Michelle
I'm sat here, not knowing quite what I'm dealing with.

OI recent build on HP N54L, as you may remember I hit a problem on the
8th August with rpool encountering an error on the SSD with the OS.

I replaced the drive and had the same thing straight away. Replaced
with another drive and took the unit down to basics including a RAM
check and rebuilt it. It's been running until today... same thing.

On the messages screen I see at just gone 00:00 this morning...
Sense Key: aborted command
Vendor Gen-ATA error code 0x3
Rpool has encountered an uncorrectable IO failure and has been
suspended. Zpool clear will be required before the pool can be written
to

The rpool message repeated at 00:05, 00:22, 02:54 and at 08:54 ...and
it's now stopped responding.

So... I've now got no idea where to take this. On the face of it, the
hardware is fine... on the face of it. However, there's something wrong
here and given the history, I'm not sure where to start.

Part of me thinks I'm looking at hardware...

Power? Hmmm... why does the SSD fail instead of the spinning rust
drives?

Yet another hard drive? This is number three now, throwing suspicion at
other aspects.

I am reticent to just replace with another hard drive and carry on. I
think it may not be to blame here.

Grateful for people's thoughts.

Michelle.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Memory Test in OpenIndiana

2021-08-08 Thread Michelle
Apparently there is an issue with later versions of Memtest86 on the
N54L motherboards.

Even a direct download of Memtest on a live USB key failed to boot.

However, I found a thread that suggested getting the Ubuntu 18.04
version and running Memtest on that version. So far... so running.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Memory Test in OpenIndiana

2021-08-08 Thread Michelle
I've got two N54L but trying to run MemTest through Ubuntu installation
media results in hangs on most memory chips which might be something to
do with the custom BIOS. I'm not sure.

I've seen nothing in messages to indicate memory issues, but I really
don't know what to do now. If I can't test the RAM, I can't rule it
out. 

Given the BIOS issue then testing under OpenIndiana would be the best
option, but I can't find out how to do it.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] N54L any known issues?

2021-08-08 Thread Michelle
Bit of an odd one this, the last couple of days have been a bit of
drama.

To cut to the long story, the OS drive (an SSD) failed... in the middle
of dealing with the failed "tank" pool

I replaced it and built the OS again on a new drive, but that's failed
as well in less than a day with checksum errors.

I've got a memory check on the list of things to do, but beyond that
I'm at a bit of a blank. I'm also planning to replace the new SSD with
another SSD... but if that fails in short order as well, then I'm going
to be pointing the finger at the server itself.

The copying from backup drive is continuing, although I can't log into
the server to check anything as any logon prompt just hangs... which is
understandable.

I know that the other N54L was failing drives on one of the SATA
channels and my conclusion is that it wasn't the drives at fault... so
I'm wondering if anyone has any knowledge of SATA channel breakdowns on
the N54L units. 

It's regularly cleaned of excess dust, etc. so it's not the kind of a
box that's left to gather dust and rot until failure.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] rpool mirror disk problems when moved to different slot

2021-08-06 Thread Michelle
Ah, if you're moving a live rpool, that's a bit more complex.

I'd have destroyed the mirror, moved the drive and then re-mirrored...
but only if I'd put another boot on the other drive.

After all, if you've mirrored your rpool, but there's no boot on the
mirror drive, then it will still not boot the mirror drive.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] rpool mirror disk problems when moved to different slot

2021-08-06 Thread Michelle
Did you export the zpool before moving the drives and then import again
after?

If I don't export before I move things, then I wouldn't expect ZFS to
be able to track it automatically.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Errors without errors

2021-08-05 Thread Michelle
OK ... to update...

Apparently I did the update on 30th August. Previous installation was
some time in May.

I used beadm to revert to the previous boot environment, then rebooted
and destroyed the August environment.

The system then faulted rpool saying it needed zpool clear and refused
to boot, just hanging at the "Hipster" load screen.

I used option 3 for the loader prompt and couldn't find anything in
there that would help, but for the giggles I told it to boot anyway...
and it did.

So... exactly what happened there, I don't know. 

It resilvered the data set, which didn't take long at all... minutes...
so I've got a scrub running and so far, no errors on /var/adm/messages

Fingers crossed. Scheduled to take 16 hours.

I'm keeping an eye on the scrub status and the messages file and we'll
see what happens.

Michelle.

I removed the drive in order to a backup before I start messing around
with things, which is why it isn't in the iostat. The backup will take
probably until early evening.

This is what happened from messages around that time. Almost looks like
whatever happened, it rebooted.

Thanks for this. So I'm possibly better off rolling back the OS
snapshot after my backup has finished?

I have removed the drive for the moment, and am running a backup. Just

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Errors without errors

2021-08-04 Thread Michelle
Hi Folks,

About a month ago I updated my Hipster...
SunOS jaguar 5.11 illumos-ca706442e6 i86pc i386 i86pc

This morning it was absolutely crawling. Couldn't even connect via SSH
and had to bounce the box.

It was reporting a drive as faulted, but didn't give any numbers...
everything was 0. I'm now not sure what happened and whether the drive
is good, or whether I should roll back the OS.

(and the drive WD Red 6TB (not shingle) went out of warrantee a week
ago. How about that, eh?)

Grateful for any opinions please.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] read/write hard drive parameters

2021-05-11 Thread Michelle
Hi Tony,

Many thanks for the links.

I can fortunately report that "format" reports correctly for the 8tb
drives.

The SMR drives stopped at 6TB, and WD faced a bit of criticism over
their decision to ship those in their RED lineup, so I'm not expecting
these to be the issue in this case as these are 8Tb.

Michelle.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] read/write hard drive parameters

2021-05-11 Thread Michelle
I'm having awful luck with WD 8Tb red drives.

Mirror configuration, ZFS is failing the drives on sustained writes.
RAIDZ seems to be more forgiving.

I've sent one drive back and have two more under RMA, but so far my
crude testing seems to indicate that this is a configuration issue
generic to the model, rather than an out and out faulty drive.

Someone else said (not on here) has said they had to tweek the write
timeouts on the drives to stop them erroring.

So the trick is... how do I address the drive parameters under
OpenIndiana please? Does anyone have a link to a how-to please?

Michelle.

I just followed the text install on the 2021.04 GUi live image, and it
created a single Rpool for the whole disk.

I'm not sure where I'm going to go from here. Need to have a sit and
think.

Thank you very much for all your efforts on this. I really do
appreciate it.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Partitions for co-exist NAS drive

2021-05-01 Thread Michelle
Actually, I was wrong. It was the 2021.04 text install USB that I was
using. I was using the text install because it's just a file server. I
don't need X.

Well, the situation I find myself in is as follows...

A pair of 6tb reds, one of which has data on that I can't get off until
one of my 8tb has come back from RMA

So I thought I'd use the other 6tb to get this sorted, and by the time
the other 6tb is ready to be put in, I would be able to install it and
add it in.

Going via the GUI installer, I'm wondering whether I'll be able to do
that.

This is why I was following your script, but when it came to step 4,
the solaris partition was only 2tb max. However, I've just noted that I
wasn't using the -e at the end of the format command, so after I've
made dinner I'll read up on that switch in the hope that this is what
will enable me to create the larger Solaris partition.

Michelle.

Thanks. I'll give that a go.

I'm using the text installer 2020.10 and on that, I can't create a
Solaris partition greater than 2tb.

I've got the GUI live image here somewhere.

OK - I give in.

I've tried various combinations and I just can't get this into a
configuration where I can get things installed.

I need a step by step guide please, because I'm lost. I don't know what
options to choose in the installer to not avoid it wanting to wipe
whatever combinations of partitions I've set.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Partitions for co-exist NAS drive

2021-05-01 Thread Michelle
That's where I'm becoming unstuck.

A Solaris 2 partition will only see the first 2Tb.

There hangs my first problem.

If I try and create any other partition it gives me the warning about
the 2TB limit and if I then try and create the EFI partition, it won't
co-exist with anything and wants to wipe the whole disk again.

I'm just going to try breaking it down to two Solaris 2 partitions and

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Partitions for co-exist NAS drive

2021-05-01 Thread Michelle
OK - I appear to be well out of touch.

I booted the installer and went into prompt.

Used format (only 1 x 6TB drive in the machine at this point) to create
a new Solaris 2 partition table and then fdisk'd an all free hog to
partition 1, giving partition 0 100gig. 

I noticed that it must have gone on for 40 odd partitions, and also
there was none of the usual backup and reserved partitions for 2, 8 and
9 as I saw before.

On installation of OI, I selected the drive and got the warning...
"you have chosen a gpt labelled disk. installing onto a gpt labelled
disk will cause the loss of all existing data"

Out of interest I continued through and got the options for whole disk
or partition (MBR) ... the second of which gave me a 2Tb Solaris 2
partition in the list.

I did try F5 to change partition, but it just took me straight back to
the installation menu at the start again.

Things have obviously moved on and I haven't kept pace.

I now have to work out how to do this on a gpt drive.

If anyone has any notes, I'd be grateful.

Michelle.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Partitions for co-exist NAS drive

2021-05-01 Thread Michelle
Well, I looked over my notes and the last time I did this was in 2014.

My preference has always been to run OI on its own drive and have the
main ZFS tank as a "whole drive" basis. However, thanks to the QNAP,
that's changed.

In 2014 I did a test. I took two 40gig drives and did the partitions as
an all free hog on partition 0 ... I was simply testing the ability to
configure rpool on two drives and have both active, so if one failed
the other would keep running the OS.

My immediate thought is to have 100gig for the OS on partition 0 and
the rest on partition 1. Also, turn on auto expand for the tank pool
and off for the rpool.

That's my gut feel.

Anyone got any advice to offer please, before I commit finger to
keyboard?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] OI on USB flash drive

2021-04-30 Thread Michelle
Hi Reg,

Thanks for the efforts. I did try the GUI installer but got the same
problem at initial boot. My issue does seem to be the USB controller.

It is looking like I'll have to do the slice technique for the rpool on
the data drives. They're a pair of 6tb wd reds so I won't loose a lot
:-) ... but they're getting a little old and I didn't want to risk the
OS on them at well... but it is what it is. I last did it several years
ago so I'll have to look it up again!

The 8tb I took out of the QNAP and put in an N54L, zfs quickly flagged
one of them (which is now RMA) whereas the QNAP was still happy to use
it... so I do prefer ZFS for the error checking.

Till mentioned SmartOS, so I'll take a look at that, but I by far
prefer ZFS wherever I can get it.

Many thanks for your efforts and write up.

Michelle.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] OI on USB flash drive

2021-04-30 Thread Michelle
Hi Till,

Many thanks for the detailed response.

My target is an enterprise Sandisk SSD on the end of a Sata/USB
controller. I think I can get it in the case. I've tried a few
combinations and have one that boots, so I'm fairly confident that this
is now down to tweeking; but I might have reached the end of the road
with the USB approach because, as you say, they are a bit exotic.

I do have a couple of HP N54L microservers in service for about five
years, with the custom BIOS flash so I have hot plug/play. The newer
microservers still run to a grand with a decent spec, which is a bit
rich for me at the moment; I need to save.

This is now just a case of not letting the QNAP go to landfill. You're
correct... my model is a half gig flash memory module on a USB header
and it unpacks itself into memory. With that gone, I'm at the 2015
American Megatrends BIOS controlling the boot, but I haven't found an
update that I trust for that motherboard yet.

Thanks for the tip on SmartOS - I'll look it up.

Michelle.

Good suggestions, but sadly didn't work.

Using option 2 single user also fails with the same errors.

I've also tried the USB interface in various booting modes,
unfortunately none of which work.

I took a look at the variables in the boot options, just for the sake
of it, and couldn't find anything obvious that would help

[OpenIndiana-discuss] OI on USB flash drive

2021-04-30 Thread Michelle
OK, this is where things are going to get a bit awkward.

Scenario – QNAP NAS TS-251 decided to install their own Malware Remover
which tells me it’s removed files, but doesn’t tell me which ones it’s
removed, and I can’t kill the remover itself. If I Ssh in and remove
it, it simply re-installs itself. I'm not a fan of malware removers
that don't tell you what files they've removed.

So… the decision to rip it apart and install my own operating system.
After all, it’s on an American Megatrends bios.

The 2gig of RAM was replaced with 8, and the storage is a half gig USB
flash module. So the flash module has to be replaced also.

I thus have a USB header unit and I’ve also tried to install Hipster to
a flash drive connected via a USB harness, and also to a USB key
directly.

On install, I get an error…

openindiana drm: WARNING: [drm:pci_dev_create:93] ddi_prop_get_int()
failed

… which repeats three or four times during the installation.

After installation is finished, the installation OS goes down, but
says…

openindiana genunix:WARNING: xhci has no quiesce()
reboot: not all drivers have implemented quiesce(9E)
Please see veradm/messages for drivers that haven’t implemented
quiesce(9E)
Failed to process boot arguments from Boot Environment.
Falling back to regular reboot

Then on reboot, the boot comes up but gives…

WARNING: pci@0,0pci8086,f35@14/storage@3/disk@0,0 (sd0):
Commend failed to complete… Device is gone
Warning: Pool “rpool” has encountered an uncorrectable I/O failure and
has been suspended; “zpool clear” will be required before the poor can
be written to.
Warning: pci@0,0/pci8086/f35@14/storage@3 (scsa2usb0): Reinserted
device is accessible again.
Warning: Pool “rpool” has encountered an incorrectable I/O failure and
has been suspended; “zpool clear” will be required before the poor can
be written to.

...that last repeats three times and the unit sits there.

I did try searching for devices with no drivers, but the only thing
that came up were the two processor cores. 

I did try creating a Solaris 2 partition and installing to a partition
instead of the EFI whole disk option, but that failed on fdisk and
didn’t even install the files. I had to destroy the partition table in
order to get back to getting the installation to work.

Also, in the installer, when I tried to go to a partition installation
and pressed F5 to change the partition type, it would go back to the
installation menu again, so I’m presuming that it just doesn’t like the
USB as a target.

I’ve got an ugly feeling that I’ve got no way of getting around this. 
Yes, I know I can put the SATA drives in and make a slice for rpool,
but where’s the fun in that?

[OpenIndiana-discuss] ZFS SMB unauthenticated user on share

2021-04-29 Thread Michelle
I have a ZFS SMB share, let's say, "public" and mounted at /mnt/public
with permissions of 744.

Fresh install of Hipster.

I would like to be able for someone to mount it read-only without being
prompted for user name and password.

I thought it was...

zfs set share.smb.guestok=on public

...but apparently this isn't it and I can't find what the property is.
I have tried a few variations.

I did find this...

...but that's not working either.

It's just text only.

The KVM won't take analogue over DVI so I need a half height card to do

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Graphics card CLI enquiry

2021-04-26 Thread Michelle
As QNAP are enforcing their malware removal tool out, which is then
deleting files but has no log of which files it's deleted (and you
can't turn the malware removal tool off... it just re-installs itself
and keeps running)

...I'm having to press my backup N54L into use and install OI on it.

The problem is, I need to query my currently running N54L with OI to
find out what graphics card is in it, so I can order a second one.

The usual linux command isn't there so I was wondering what CLI command
I run to find out what's in there please, as it isn't exactly a command
I use every day :-)

Thanks Gea,

Unfortunately I'm building this server for a friend. I only have Linux
Mint machines, and the OI box.

I used to use Netware, and when I started with AD, I had a bit of a
freak out, as it was sort of completely the reverse!

Your notes are valuable. I'll put them in my keep folder.

For this case, after what Peter said, the user/group name is the most
important thing, so I'll tell my friend just to not do any file
transfers at 3am :-D

I'm definitely having problems with this inherit_only flag.

What starts as this...

0:owner@:list_directory/read_data/add_file/write_data/add_subdirectory

 /add_subdirectory/append_data/read_xattr/execute/delete_child
 /read_attributes/delete/read_acl:file_inherit/dir_inherit:allow

... if a guest (who has access under "everyone) writes a file or makes a
directory in that folder, then the ownership is not Joe, but the guest
account.

Adding the inherit_only flag changes to this...

d-+  2 Joe Family  2 Dec 13 15:40 guest_folder

0:owner@:list_directory/read_data/add_file/write_data/add_subdirectory
 /append_data/read_xattr/execute/delete_child/read_attributes

 /add_subdirectory/append_data/read_xattr/execute/delete_child
 /read_attributes/delete/read_acl:file_inherit/dir_inherit
 /inherit_only:allow

...and not even Joe can see the directory guest_folder in an SFTP
listing, despite being the owner and having the rights.
There's something obvious going on here that I clearly haven't got to
grips with.

All I'm trying to do, is ensure that all files written within a
directory, have the same ownership as the directory itself, no matter
what account actually writes them.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] ACL problem

2015-12-13 Thread Michelle
I think part of my problem may have been the "inherit_only" flag which
is described as, "Inherit the ACL from the parent directory but applies
only to newly created files or subdirectories and not the directory
itself. This flag requires the file_inherit flag, the dir_inherit flag
or both to indicate what to inherit"

...but the moment I applied that to a directory, it immediately took the
permissions from the parent directory of the parent, whereas I was only
expecting it to apply to other files and sub-directories that were
created below it, later on.

I might be making progress in my understanding of where I'm going wrong,
but it is only one step forward.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] ACL problem

2015-12-13 Thread Michelle
Hi Folks,

I've been having problems with ACL's. My understanding is just not
getting there and reading the Solaris ZFS Administration Guide isn't
sinking in.

This is roughly what I want to do...

User, Joe
Group Family
Other

Set up a directory, (say Movies) to which Joe is the owner. Family can
access and read, but not write, and Other can't access at all.

Joe's ownership of files and all ACL permissions are to be propagated to
any file or directory created, by whatever means, be it SFTP or CIFS
access to the share.

There is another situation where I want "Family" to be able to create,
delete and modify files and directories freely, but for ownership of
file and directories to still explicitly be Joe.

There is a chance that my previous experiments may be messing things up,
so the other question is, does deleting a directory and re-instating it
clear all previous extended permission settings, or must I issue a
command to clear all flags before my next failed attempt :-) ... as
obviously deleting the .$EXTEND file is not allowed.

Many thanks,

Michelle.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Persistent permissions

2014-08-20 Thread Michelle Knight
Reg,

A good idea.

The long story short is that this is a home system on a N40L server.
Simple set up, three drives in a RaidZ.

1) There is a "guest" area where guests can transfer data to and from
the server (the owner can copy data there specifically for the guest
without having to give them access to the main structure) ... and as
such the guests will need to be able to read and write to this area.

...the issue here is that any files that the user copies to that area
will have their permissions and ownership, so there is a need for those
files to then be changed so that the guest can get at them

...also there is an issue that any files moved from the guest area in
to the main storage will have the guests credentials and need to be
changed appropriately according to which area they have been moved to.

2) A read-write area where the main user can use the files with no
issue.

3) A series of read-only folders where a different, elevated user, is
logged on deliberately in order to manipulate files in the read only
areas. This is so that any virus that gets on to a client, can not
damage these areas as the elevated user is not in common use. Also, it
helps prevent accidental deletion.

...so files which are copied by the elevated user have to also be
accessible by the read-write user, and also any files that the
read-write user puts out of read-write and in to read-only will also
require a permissions and ownership change so that they are put out of
reach of potential change.

And in all this, the files can be moved/changed in the system via
either SMB (which the guests and read-only users are going to use) and
SFTP (which is most likely the vector that he will go in to the server
for the read-write elevated user ops.)

Michelle.

setfacl -m g:myguest:rwx,d:g:guest:rwx guest

It has it, but I get...

"File system doesn't support aclent_t style ACL's."

..so I'm obviously doing something wrong.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Persistent permissions

2014-08-20 Thread Michelle Knight
Hi Folks,

I'm not sure how to do this under ZFS, but here goes...

I have a ZFS share/pool which is accessed via SMB and also SFTP. A
number of different users can put (and move) files between directories
and even create directories in some cases.

I would like any file which is uploaded or moved (or new directory
created) ... to obtain the permissions and levels of the directory that
it is moved/copied to, regardless of what it had before it was moved,
and regardless of the account or permissions of the account that did the
operation, whether it be done via SMB or SFTP. Also, any directory then
created will have the same influence on any files created/copied in to
it.

At the moment, I am using a script which will go through the directory
structures and forcefully re-write the ownerships and permissions of
every file, but this obviously has an impact as if there is a copy
operation going on when the script hits that particular area, it can
re-write the permissions on a file and halt the copy process because of
a permissions error.  This technique also has the problem that some
users have to wait for the script to run, because they won't have
access until the file/directory permissions have been re-written.

Is there any more elegant way of doing this please?

Michelle.

Thanks Carsten, 

That appears to work and survive reboots.

An obvious error with the ...
ipadm create-if beg0
...when the interface already exists and is up, but ... job done! 

Many thanks,

That didn't survive a reboot either.

And the ipadm command comes back with the same error as before, "could
not create address: Persistent operation on temporary object"

I must have got something really wrong here.
