[osol-discuss] idmapd on snv_134
Hello, I've been having a few problems with idmapd on OS snv_134, after a day or so of 6+ users saving and fetching fils via CIFS if likes to leak memory at a ridiculous rate. It get's to the point where it will lock me out of the machine (ssh etc.) and I have to kill the power and restart it. I currently have a cron job to restart the service every 15 minutes, but still, on occasion it 'crashes'. I've seen the problem mentioned a few times. but the fix just seems to be restart it with a cron. Can anyone give a better solution? Thanks! - Daniel___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
[osol-discuss] USB pen drive not detected
Hello, I'm having some problems with a new USB drive I just bought, Opensolaris snv_134 is detecting it at all, I've been reading around and it doesn't appear to be showing up in the most basic of places, for example when i run 'cfgadm' its' not listed. Any ideas why this would happen? The machine is a Dell poweredge t110, the drive does work and is formatted as FAT32, it lights up when I plug it in. The usb ports seem to work, I have a USB keyboard in there! r...@xx:~# cfgadm Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition sata1/0::dsk/c7t0d0disk connectedconfigured ok sata1/1::dsk/c7t1d0disk connectedconfigured ok sata1/2::dsk/c7t2d0disk connectedconfigured ok sata1/3sata-portemptyunconfigured ok sata1/4::dsk/c7t4d0cd/dvd connectedconfigured ok sata1/5sata-portemptyunconfigured ok usb5/1 usb-hub connectedconfigured ok usb5/1.1 unknown emptyunconfigured ok usb5/1.2 unknown emptyunconfigured ok usb5/1.3 unknown emptyunconfigured ok usb5/1.4 unknown emptyunconfigured ok usb5/1.5 unknown emptyunconfigured ok usb5/1.6 unknown emptyunconfigured ok usb5/2 unknown emptyunconfigured ok usb6/1 usb-hub connectedunconfigured ok usb6/2 unknown emptyunconfigured ok Thanks, - Daniel ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] snv_134 slow down every monday morning
Will, I'll quickly blast through the answers, 1) mysqldump of remote server, rsync of files then a ZFS snapshot. Does this for 4 servers. And there is a windows backup over CIFS. 2) I have done a scrub, I don't have it scheduled but I did it after the first 'crash' and have done it since. Doesn't seem to have helped. 3) We have two 2TB disks in a mirror 4) I'm going to skip this sunday's evenings backups and see how it goes. 5) we don't use NFS, we do however have one server backing up over CIFS. Using wbadmin. I though briefly it was that, since it does a full backup on sunday. BUT I moved that backup to last night to try replicate the issue and no joy. (and there was a heavier backup load last night since it was monday, so if anything was going to happen it should have been then) 6) The hardware is a brand new DELL T110 (I'm not saying its impossible there's something wrong with it, but I think its unlikely) In the mean time I'll scrub the pool again. Thanks for you reply, - Daniel On 24 Aug 2010, at 03:13, William Bauer wrote: What exactly are your backup scripts doing? Have you run a zpool scrub on your pool(s), and do so regularly? Do you have a mirror or other RAID config? Have you tried going one Sunday without any of your backups running to see if they're the culprit? Details may help someone help you. My 134 desktop is backed up every night with Veritas and it's stable. Plus it's an NFS client and server and NIS client and is used by several people all day. The platform seems stable, so perhaps your hardware can't handle the backup stress or there's some major problem with your ZFS pool. Only speculating. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
[osol-discuss] snv_134 slow down every monday morning
Hello, I've got a bit of an odd bug with my OS NAS, every monday morning I come into work and I have to reboot it. SSH doesn't respond and nor does the CIFS shares. And the ping response times are very high! All the backup scripts I have feeding information into this machine run twice and day, every day. (I have no problems on any other day.) The backups midnight Sunday, early morning Monday run fine and after that the system seems to grid to a holt. I know it can still make outgoing connections as it connects to a remote server at 4am just fine. I've been through my crontab on my root user and my user account and removed everything that isn't my backup scripts. Yet still it happens! I should also say that the Sunday night backup is the lightest backup I do in a week, so theres no reason the load of that would do it. (it's less than 100mb combined, vs 5gb on a busy week day) Last week I decided to stagger all the backups by 15 minutes to make sure I wasn't overloading the machine in some way, had no effect. Is there some other set of scheduled tasks I should be looking for? Any ideas on how to debug it? Thanks! - Daniel Taylor ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
[osol-discuss] Technical contact for OSOL mailing lists
Hello, I'm trying to find the technical contact(s) for the OSOL mailing lists, I've been having quite a few issues with bounced email from this list (and other OSOL lists), and checking our mail server logs it is always because of DomainKey (DKIM) rejection. Believe it might have something to do with this... http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailatid=300103aid=1287546group_id=103 Obviously I would like to get this fixed. Does anyone know who I should be talking too?

[osol-discuss] I want to help, where do I start?
Hello, I've just started using OpenSolaris quite a bit at work, mainly it was in the form of NexentaStor but last week I took the decision to use OpenSolaris for our new projects, it took some time to make the decision as the first new server arrived on the very day that the ultimatum was handed to Oracle. But in the end I decided (and convinced my boss) that OpenSolaris was too vast a community for them to throw away. So I dived in. (Plus I love ZFS and DTrace too much to walk away from them) I've come from a Linux background (10+ years, +15 of Windows) and I've never seen such a portal for all things Linux like OpenSolaris.org is for all things (Open)Solaris, you guys have so many mailing lists it's unreal! Plus there are real experts here. I have posted issues and 30 minutes later I've had a response from a Oracle/Sun employee who's heavy involved in that bit of software giving me the answer to the issue. I just don't get that with Linux. Sometimes Linux support is the blind leading the blind (check out ubuntuforums for examples of that). You just don't get that with other Solaris based products either! (see the non-existent community edition support for NexentaStor) This community inspires me to get involved in a way I was never inspired with Linux. So where do I start? What part of this vast community needs man power? About me; I've been a (php) web developer for a while, I worked as a volunteer for the opensource project phpbb.com for many years. I was then involved in networking in the medical imaging field for a few years, then went into professional web development. But recently I took charge of the newly formed hosting department at my current company and I'm now in charge of a small (but rapidly growing) batch of servers (20) of mixed OS's. I don't have much experience of C, beyond a few patches of Gnome I once did. I've also been toying with Java since an early age, but still consider myself an amateur. All of these things I'm ready and willing to get better at if those skills are needed. I've been reading some of the posts on this list, people seem to be scared, some have even lost their minds. I'm not scared, I don't see OpenSolaris going anywhere. So I'm ready to get started. Where am I need? Regards, - Daniel ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
