Re: Fwd: New reiser4 install

2006-02-16 Thread Alexander Lyamin
Hi Shane,

I'm sorry we had  a list malfunction today and your message got chewed a bit,
but its got recovered and reposted here.

While on it, i'll try and share my own expirience with reiser4 usage.


First i suggest heading for  2.6.12 kernel, at moment it looks like most
stable, and i use it as filesystem on 4 boxes with couple of them being
pretty busy ones. all of them are SMP's.

 Subject: New reiser4 install
 To: reiserfs-list@namesys.com
 
 Hello folks,
 
 I am moving a database to a new FS and am looking as
 reiser4 for the filesystem.  However, I am a bit unsure of
 the plugins to use on filesystem creation.  If these are
 documented, I appologise for asking here.

go for vanilla flavor. that would do fine.

 
 The FS will hold approximately 9 millian small files of on
 average 4k in size growing by around 500k files per month.
 Reads on the FS are random and there are usually around 10
 processes accessing the fs at any given time.  I am
 currently using ext3 but with so many files, space usage is
 starting to become an issue as each file is rounded to the
 block size of the FS so I'd like to get tail packing going.
yeah, thats exactly the case where r4 does good.
and in my expirience its more stable then 3.6 in SMP environment,
altough you should expect that  it'd spend some more cpu
cycles on that packing.

 I noticed the default plugin profile in debugfs.reiser4
 sets tail to plain.  Does this pack tails or should I be
 using ctail40 or the smart tails support?  Also, I noticed
 a transparent compression plugin is available in the kernel
 tree, is that something which is automatically enabled or
 do I need to do something at FS creation or mount time.

I CC'ed this message to Edward Shukshin (cryptoplugin author) cause
he's the preson you want to talk about compression stuff and if its
ready for prime time.

 
 Finally, we use chattr to set the noatime flag on our
 files, is that supported in reiser4?  Come to think of it,
 chattr has a compress flag as well.

noatime would be good idea for any FS out there if you dont need
this feature and want to have some edge for what its costs.

No. Its not me misquoting, its just someone sound plain ?incoherrent?.

 But one could even say VFS is integral part of a linux filesystem as
 it does most of the work a filesystem driver does in other operating

theres no linux filesystem. there are linux filesystems.
thanks god.

But I it would be really grate if you'll elaborate your sentence with

and if you'll define most of work.


 
  P.S. I imagine, how much flamed it would be if reiser4 made any intensive
  changes in linux VFS code...
 
 It really depends on how you sent them.  If you had a big patch without
 explanations - sure.
It would work with small tweaks, but you just can take a look at reiser4
code and you'll understand that it just could not be chopped in
set of small patches altough it could be documented better ofcourse,
but its really well commented already.

some times, some approaches to  some problems  just would not work.

 Hi,
 
 That a lot of spam has been coming through this list is one thing. That the
 list daemon threatens to cut people from the list whose systems refuse to
 accept some of the spam is another.
 
 Might I suggest a simple category of stuff to throw out before forwarding to
 the list: HTML-only mail. 99%+ of it is spam, and the other 1% isn't the
 sort of people who have any interest in advanced file systems.
 
 Two easy ways to block a lot of it: 
 
 1. With procmail:
 
 # HTML only message are most probably spam.
 :0
 * ^Content-Type:.*text/html
 {  
   LOG=(HTML) 
   :0
   /dev/null
 }
 
 2. With SpamAssassin by setting the score for MIME_HTML_ONLY high and then
 either /dev/null'ing or refusing to even accept such mail (providing you're
 running it as a milter). (Which is what I do and why the listserv is getting
 impatient with me.)
 
 Other mail filtering methods will have equally easy ways to just toss this
 trash where it belongs.

you've being heard. its actually was done quite a time ago.
but in a different way.

plus i simply cant junk 99%  cause of purely administrative reasons
(Hans loves the Markup Languages :)

but we do trash all sort of windows-os  junk right away ;

 continue as normal.

when its slows down, please check with vmstat for IO or with your

but theres no really good way to understand whats goining on in kernel

where does it spend it precisious time. slightly more complicated then

 Has anyone heard of such things before?
 
 I am asking here first because the ReiserFS patch is the most significant 
 kernel patch I've applied on what is otherwise a stock 2.4.20 kernel.
 
 Interestingly the machines that have the problems are not the most active in 
 the file system (mail store), but the mail spool machines.  The mail spool 
 machines do a good amount of file access (but well below the limits of the 
 hardware) and also use more memory and have large load spikes on occasion

  One problem that has started occuring is that periodically some of the

  dropped to 1% of it's regular speed.  Then after 10 minutes or so it will 
  continue as normal.
 
 when its slows down, please check with vmstat for IO or with your
i think i wasnt clear enough.
so - first , if you go-slow on a disk activity, chances are good
that it caused by FS or VM or their misunderstandings.

but there is possible situations that will not generate disk activity,
but may cause your system to go-slow, if there you have some 
unussual IO numbers while disk activity is moderate to low -
most likely same sweet pair.

but Oleg Drokin pointed at situations when even IO will not indicate
whats going on :)

so advice is still the same - if you having slowdowns profiling might help
you much better then  withchy methods described above.

 led for disk activity. thats a simply and stupid.
 
 but theres no really good way to understand whats goining on in kernel
 if you are userland yourself. so go in kernel with profiling and see
 where does it spend it precisious time. slightly more complicated then
 method above, but much more effective.
 
  
  Has anyone heard of such things before?
  
  I am asking here first because the ReiserFS patch is the most significant 
  kernel patch I've applied on what is otherwise a stock 2.4.20 kernel.
  
  Interestingly the machines that have the problems are not the most active in 
  the file system (mail store), but the mail spool machines.  The mail spool 
  machines do a good amount of file access (but well below the limits of the 
  hardware) and also use more memory and have large load spikes on occasion 
  (virus and spam scanning).
talking about  virus/spam scanning - what do you use and how its integrated in
your SMTP MTA ?

Some linux-kernel hackers still do some stupid things userland :) sometimes...
Wont go in details.

 
 Most companies do indeed have a real need for tech support.  If the 
 distros don't support official stable linux kernels, it is a serious 
 social problem for our community, as it will substantially reduce the 
 user base for those kernels in corporate environments.  It is especially 
 a problem if the largest vendor does it.
But thats quite a GOOD point. Its excellent point actually, worth broughting
it in LKML. Its a problem and its a solution. indeed.

All the idea of open-source and linux is that you could take a turn from
railroad anywhere you wont, and while its an effort theres ussually a benefits
which are worthy of effort. 

In propietary software if something gone wrong (and its ussually does when you
leaving railroad) you left to reverce engeneering (effort*10, and DMCA wont like 
that) or merciless tech.support (merciless people quite often stupid also).

 If you want a stable kernel for a mission critical server, the only 
 thing that works is to ask around and find out what Marcelo kernel has 
 been known stable for at least 6 weeks.
  
 
 And lose all support from RH or SuSE because you installed a non-supported
 kernel image ;-) And thus violate the Oracle cert, the SAP cert (well, if 
 RH
 had one), etc pp.
 
 Just something you can't do in some environments.

  sorry guys, i had to do this.
 
 Those people weren't at fault.
 A broken MTA (Lotus Notes) at mail.patapsco.com was causing dups.
 
 Look at the headers.  All had patapsco.com message-IDs.
 Original headers showed they were injected from patapsco.com except for
 the first items.
 
 As I asked, is there any way to have the mailing list manager leave
 the Received: lines intact so that people can readily see the injection
 point for these spews?

Sorry guys,

[EMAIL PROTECTED] is gone.
all the rest back on list.

most likely it can be done, but this will make headers rather big.
i'll think about it tomorrow, late night in Moscow.

Once again sorry for slamming wrong people.
