 PROBLEM: Some file I/O operations fail under XFS
 
 Dreamhost and some other web hosting companies have begun rolling out new 
 servers which use the XFS file system.
 
 XFS is said to have better performance than EXT3 and even EXT4 used on most 
 Linux systems, but apparently this comes with a risk of compatibility issues.
 
 With LiveCode I've found two specific issues, though there may be others:
 
 1. put url (file:PathToLocalFile)
 This fails, with sysError reporting 75.  Oddly, using 
 open.../read.../close... works fine.
 
 2. put the files
 This also fails, always returning empty even when you know there are files 
 there.
 
 While researching this I found some comments in the RealBASIC list archives 
 suggesting that the RB engine also has problems with the XFS file system, so 
 this is not solely a LiveCode issue.
 
 In fact, it seems there may be a few other programs that have also 
 experienced problems with XFS.
 
 
 DIAGNOSIS
 -
 You can determine which file system your host is using by logging into the 
 system via SSH and running this command:
 
 df -T
 
 This will produce a columnar output which lists the various volumes and their 
 file systems available to your account.  Note the second column on the line 
 for /home (often the last line of the output).  It's usually either EXT3, 
 EXT4, or XFS.
 
 If it's XFS you may want to try a quick script to verify that your system is 
 having the same limitations I had, either attempting to get a list of files 
 using the files or reading a local file using put url
 
 
 
 REMEDY: Short-term
 --
 If your system is using XFS, the quickest short-term solution is to ask your 
 web hosting company to move your account to a system that is both 32-bit 
 compatible and also uses either EXT3 or EXT4.
 
 With Dreamhost, it took a little back-and-forth via email, but as with the 
 RealBASIC user I'd come across they eventually offered to move my accounts to 
 a compatible system.
 
 Hopefully your web host will be able to do the same.
 
 
 
 REMEDY: Long-term
 -
 With the apparent growing popularity of XFS on web servers, clearly any 
 long-term solution will require a version of the LiveCode engine which is 
 compatible with XFS.
 
 I've been using my Dev Program Quick Incident benefits to enlist the 
 assistance of David Williams at RunRev, who's been enormously helpful in 
 going through the code to try to pinpoint the underlying cause.
 
 His diagnosis is still ongoing at the moment, and as I learn more I'll report 
 back.
 
 If we're lucky we'll find that there are alternative API calls that RunRev 
 could use for XFS which will take care of this.  If so, we can then expect a 
 future version of LiveCode to be compatible with XFS.
 
 We may also find that the issue may be a bug in the driver or other component 
 in the system, in which case we'll have to monitor progress on that and see 
 how it goes.
 
 
 Hopefully one way or another we'll have a good long-term solution in place 
 soon.
 
 The RunRev team is putting in an admirable effort toward this, and in the 
 meantime if you experience file I/O issues on your web server and can verify 
 that your host is using XFS, you may want to contact your hosting company to 
 see if they can move your account to a machine using a different file system.

Here's my 2 leva worth:

Recently installed an Ubuntu distro on a Pentium IV using Ext4 and had 
the system lock-up irretrievably on me:


being a sucker for punishment, I reinstalled 3 times and got the same 
result every time:


eventually reinstalled using Ext3 and after 3 months have had not a 
whisper of a problem.


So I am steering well clear of Ext4.

[Word of warning: unscientific prejudice]

Re: XFS: RevServer, web hosts, and you

2013-01-22 Thread Andre Garzia
Hey Folks,

I am pretty happy with EXT3, I would only move to ZFS if it had stable
linux support. My dream system is a FreeBSD server with ZFS and LiveCode
Server but unfortunately we don't have LC Server for FreeBSD and while I
could get the linux version running thru Linux ABI, I could not get RevDB
MySQL adapter working.

Now to move back on topic. I see lots of guys and gals here using shared
accounts and I advise against it. Shared accounts may be cheap but once you
need something more complicated, then you're lost.

The alternative is to pick a VPS where you control everything and this has
a learning curve but it is worth it. For those that want a DIY approach, I
recommend getting a linode (www.linode.com), they are as cheap as 20 USD
per month and they are gorgeous.

Linode is unmanaged, it means that mostly you need to do your own stuff but
their helps and guides are very easy to follow and they provide
pre-assembled images that are easy to use. I could not be happier.

If I need anything, I am just an ssh connection away from installing it and
yes Ubuntu server works quite well for me.

Cheers
andre

Re: XFS: RevServer, web hosts, and you

2013-01-22 Thread Andre Garzia
Richmond,

some features of ZFS (it has more features than this)

1. Checksums in Metadata for Data Integrity - meaning it can detect more
errors and has more integrity than EXT3 that uses block checksums.

2. Copy on write - means that writing to a file is a transaction, or it
happens correctly or it doesn't happen. It can't break because the old data
of the file is retained and can be rolled back if the checksums after
writing fail.

3. Data snapshots - You know that time machine thing that apple fakes using
incremental backups? Well ZFS has snapshots at file system level. You can
configure it to snapshot things every 15 minutes or every hour and you can
roll back time if you need.

4. ZFS has a pool - ZFS volumes are packed together in a zpool and you can
add or remove disks as needed to the pool. You're running short on disk
space? Just add another disk to the machine and add it to the pool, space
magically appears.

4.1 ZFS can create hybrid SSD/HD pools using the SSD as a high speed file
cache for often used stuff and the HD for long term storage.

5. Data scrubbing - ZFS can use the checksum to check all files in the
zpool and if you're using something like RAIDZ to mirror the data, it will
recover errors silently with no admin intervention between the mirrored
stuff.

These are some basic features that everyone should have on their FS! At
this moment Solaris has the best ZFS support followed by FreeBSD. ZFS is
one of the things that Linux could really use.
