MySQL Performance Woody Vs Sarge
Hi There, I have a strange issue with mysql performance... We are running sarge on our production web server and woody on our dev server... MySQL is the only issue we have: Both servers are running MySQL 4.0.24, one Debian_4 (woody) and one Debian_5 (sarge)... Both my.cnf files are pretty much the same, both servers are 1.5Mhz single processor AMD with 512MB RAM, both running software RAID 1 (2 disks) where the mysql data is stored We have a database with about 900,000 records in it... serial numbers for products... Looking up the woody box: select * from serial_numbers where serial_number is 'XX'; works (pretty much) instantly, where as the sarge box takes about 3 seconds. How do i start figuing out this issue? The only difference i can find is that an htparm on the RAID drive: woody: Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.46 seconds =278.26 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 1.33 seconds = 48.12 MB/sec sarge: Timing cached reads: 196 MB in 3.38 seconds = 57.98 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 130 MB in 3.01 seconds = 43.22 MB/sec Seems to directly relate to the issue? I dont know. Thanks, Simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

MySQL simply does not perform as well with large databases. Thus, the most logical thing to do to increase performance of the database is to switch to a better one. Now, other folks in this thread have suggested potential hardware tweaks. If those work, then great. If not, then I think the next best thing to do for performance is to use a DB that was designed to handle larger amounts of data like that. Well we have woody running on a 1GHz compaq server box with 1GB of RAM and the database has over 4million records in one table alone.. It runs fine. A record looks up, within 1 second. So i KNOW that its not MySQL which is the problem. Also you might note that one server (with Mysql) is running fine, where as the other server (with MySQL) is not. These servers both have the same data with nearly 1million records. So again. Not Mysql's problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

The md0 devices should consist of two /dev/hd* devices. Please show hdparm output for them as well. See above. I'm grasping at straws a little bit, as the results aren't what I first expected (unless I'm mixing previous facts about the servers). But maybe somebody else here will have some more clues.

Marty wrote: Again, I think you are searching in the wrong direction. Your 'hdparm -tT' results clearly showed that the great difference between your servers doesn't lie in hard disk performance (48 to 43 MB/s), but in Memory/CPU performance (278 to 58 MB/s). That would be a very gross misconfiguration. To me it seems far more likely that raid caching is simply disabled, possibly in the driver. (Grasping straws here, but maybe the card was blacklisted for not obeying the fsync() function, and therefore deemed unsafe for atomic commits whenever write caching is enabled, just as one possible reason, however unlikely. See Slashdot discussion on "Your hard drive lies to you": http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/05/13/0529252&tid=198&tid=128 ) When doing the same SQL query several times the hard disk shouldn't be bothered much anyway since either MySQL or a´t least Linux itself should have cached the data. One thing that might effect the issue, if this leads to any more insights: The sarge box WAS a woody box.. the RAID disks were moved between the OS versions. The woody was running RAID tools with this config: raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level 1 nr-raid-disks 2 nr-spare-disks 0 chunk-size 4 persistent-superblock 1 device /dev/hde1 raid-disk 0 device /dev/hdg1 raid-disk 1 However, the sarge box in running mdadm with this config: DEVICE /dev/hde1 /dev/hdg1 ARRAY /dev/md0 level=1 num-devices=2 devices=/dev/hde1,/dev/hdg1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

adaptec 2610sa raid support in debian-installer (aacraid)
hi,
I'm hoping to install sarge on an HP box with one adaptec 2610sa raid
controller, but the latest debian-installer's aacraid module doesn't
recognize the 2610sa. The 2410sa, 2810sa and 21610sa are mentioned as
being supported on adaptec's site (and linit.c suggests same - see
below). Is there some reason why the 2610sa hasn't been included (and is
there any chance of a non-hacker like myself ever getting this to work
reliably)?
There also seems to be a later version of aacraid (1.1.5-2391).
adaptec's website is serving up version 1.1.5-2326 however 1.1.5-2391
has been used to build a set of driver disk images (also on adaptec's
site) and it seems some pay-licensed linux distributions have 2610sa
support using 2391. Anyone know where I could get the source for
aacraid 1.1.5-2391 (note: the aacraid with the 2.6.8 kernel source has
the same three lines below and makes no reference to the 2610sa)?
thanks for any help,
simon

installing directly onto disks controlled by an adaptec 2?10SA raid controller
If anyone has installed debian (sarge, root filesystem) directly onto disks controlled by an adaptec 2?10SA controller (eg. 2410SA, 2610SA, 2810SA, 21610SA), or knows that this has actually been done (ie. the debian-installer recognized the card or you loaded a driver), would you reply to this post, just to mention that please? thanks for any info and much appreciated, simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: adaptec 2610sa raid support in debian-installer (aacraid)
An aacraid maintainer (Mark Salyzyn) has emailed a copy of the latest
source (2401) and explained that there is no reason why aacraid
1.1.5-2326 (at least) or later wouldn't function with 2?10SA cards.
I've been assuming that the debian-installer just attempts to insmod its
aacraid module (but perhaps that is a bit too naive). I'll attempt to
discover which version of aacraid the latest debian-installer uses
(today hopefully) and find out more about how the debian-installer
recognises cards.
If anyone has installed debian (the root filesystem) directly onto disks
controlled by an adaptec 2?10SA controller, or knows that this has
actually been done (ie. the debian-installer recognized the card or you
loaded a driver), would you reply to this post, just to mention that

Apache2/PHP permissions in ISP environment
Hi there, we are running debian sarge for a virtual hosting box. PHP safe mode is on for all users with a host of other php_admin_values etc. We are running name based virtual hosting for all hosts except SSL hosts which have their own IP... We are using pureftpd for our FTP server, with the u/p in a mysql database and chrooting the users in their dir. Currently the server runs as the debian default of www-data.www-data.. and the users are all loggin in as www-client(1000).www-data.. So, when PHP creates a file 'test.txt' (www-data.www-data), a script uploaded via FTP 'alterfile.php' (www-clients.www-data) cant change/delete the generated file 'test.txt'. i have setup the users etc up like that as the users FTP into a directory: /www/www.exmaple.com/, in that dir there are: backups/, htdocs/, logs/, statistics/, ssl/. they can read everything, but only write to htdocs/. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get around the above problem? How do i allow users to create files (with PHP) with the user of www-data, but still restrict some other directorys from writing? Is this a bad thing in the first place?

The packets are clearly getting to the box, but i get no ping back to home. Your linux box is using the other NIC for gw. Add a static route for your home net to go back out via eth1 to get packets to return via that path. Confirmed what i was thinking. But what i think i need is for all traffic coming in to eth1, to go back out the primary interface eth0. (This is a hosting box).

Protecting against spoofing with IPTABLES
Hi There, Using debian testing with two ethernet cards.. To get eth1 (on a seperate subne) working correctly, ive had to change /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth1/rp_filter to 0. Now i need a simple solution to protect against spoofing attacks on this interface... I have an example setup, but i want to make sure i have it correct.. can someone confirm for me?... iptables -F iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT iptables -N SPOOF iptables -A SPOOF -i eth1 -j SPOOF Is this correct - or have i got it ALL wrong.

newbie fighting with Helix Gnome
I'm new to Linux and even newer to Debian. I am running woody, and today (15th) I did an apt-get upgrade that's messed up Gnome. I was running Helix Gnome, although I did plan to remove it and go back to plain Gnome...whatever the update did today it seems to have replaced parts of Helix Gnome with newer standard Gnome components and completely messed up my dependancies. apt-get upgrade failed with the text pasted below:- Unpacking oaf (from .../archives/oaf_0.6.5-5_i386.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/oaf_0.6.5-5_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/oafd', which is also in package liboaf0 dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Preparing to replace gnome-panel-data 1.2.4-helix2 (using .../gnome-panel-data_1.4.0.2-1_all.deb) ...

I thought I would remove helix completely and then reinstall gnome, but apt is telling me I do not have task-helix-gnome installed. I'm at a bit of a loss. Am I right to try and remove then re-install Gnome (I don't want Helix back) and if so, how can I do this. Any suggestions would be very welcome.

I use Woody also and this worked fine for me a couple of weeks ago whan I changed my keyboard for one with a different layout. However, I just tried to run it again & it seems to have disappeard in my upgrade!! Anyway, according to apt, the package console-data is obsolete and has been replaced by console-common.

Moving web server to new IP
Hi There, I know this is strictly not a debian question, but i will be using debian todo it! I need to move our web server to a new IP range. This is hosting around 300 websites, about 250 on 2-3 IPS (standard name based virtual hosts) and the rest on their own IPs (SSL hosts). All running on apache/php/mysql. Im wondering how i can achieve this over a period of a week rather than all in one go. My thoughts are to set up some sort of proxy to proxy the requests from one IP range to another. But, this would result in wierd hit stats (coming from the proxy IP rather than the client IP - i think). Im wondering if this could be done with netfilter somehow? or some other way? Moving mail and DNS is easy as i can use pedrition for the mail proxey and just run dual name servers until they are sorted as they are low overhead anyway. Any input is appreciated.

Hi Just a suggestion, start by shortening the TTL, therefore any changes made will have a more quicker ripple effect. yea - good point! And i will do for the ones that are one our DNS, but we have a number of domains that clients (for whatever reason) have on other domain name registrars... so i wanted to give them a grace period here.

New Series x3650 Server Support?
Hi There, Wondering if any one has any info on the new IBM Series x3650 servers running with Debian. In particualr with the upgraded ServeRAID-8k SAS Controller option (25R8064) from IBM? This has full RAID 5 support with battery backup of 72 hours. Im guessing that the only issue with this server would be the raid controller being too new for debian to recognise...? This adaptor is showen as being supported by both RHEL and SLES: http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/blade/8853/ibm_25R8064.html And here is the IBM Redbook: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/TIPS0054.html?Open I would really appreciate any input here, esp from anyone from IBM on this list?

GRUB hang after lenny install
Hi There, We have a Tyan Tiger i7320 based server with 2 x nocona Xeon CPUs and a 3ware 9500 4LP raid card. Attached to the raid card is a single WD 500GB SATA hd (unit 0 - /dev/sda) and a RAID5 comprised of 3 x 250GB SATA HDs (unit 1 - /dev/sdb, also currently degraded as 1 of the drives is failing). I am installing lenny from the business card CD with a base system with a single large 490GB / on /dev/sda1 and a 2GB SWAP /dev/sda2. Then doing nothing with /dev/sdb (has a LVM file system on it that i want to remain intact). Once i get to the grub install i enter "(hd0)" and proceed. Once i reboot (making sure that the 3ware RAID card is the first boot device in the bios after the CD).. it gets thru the bios, raid screen, then i get: GRUB Loading stage1.5 GRUB loading, please wait... and it does not move from there nor is there no warning after that. Just no go. Any assistance is VERY VERY much appreciated! a we are trying to migrate off this server and its holding everything up. Thanks Simon

Rsnapshot /var/run PID
Hi All, Using Debian 8 and I'd like to run rsnapshot as a regular (non-root) user but it doesn't have permissions to drop the pid file in /var/run. I created a directory called rsnapshot in /var/run with the appropriate permissions which, I thought, fixed the problem. Unfortunately, I now realise that the dir I created gets removed upon a reboot. Could someone let me know the correct way create an application-specific directory in /var/run (if that is the right thing to do). Thanks, Simon

It seems to be that since a while, all those /run, /var/run etc. are on tmpfs anyway; the init machinery is supposed to set up the necessary subdirectories [1] [2]. This doesn't help you in your case, I guess, because you want to run rsnapshot "ad hoc". My gut feeling would be to set things up in a well-known sub-directory of the user's home, on the theory that this is the space the user controls. Either just ~/.rsnapshot, or ~/.backup, or if you want to go the full Freedesktop Monty, have a look at [3] (they specify /run/user for that; there's no such thing in my system, but my system is somewhat Freedesktop hostile by explicit choice, so that might be just a consequence of that. Perhaps going the systemd way fixes that).

Debian Sarge server frozen (em64t-p4-smp)

Multi server package management
Hi There, We are gathering quite a few debian servers now and have just started testing a debian xen server, thus giving us more debian servers :). Is there anything out there to manage the packages on all these servers? (kind of like how redhat does it online). A nice web-based tool would be good! I suppose i would want: 1stly: Central reporting for all servers (updates etc) 2ndly: A way to then apply those updates With a bit of thought, i could get something up and running myself i supose, but i just wondered if there is anything already before i do.

Multiple MySQL Instances (running as slaves for multiple masters)
Hi There, I have my master/slave running between two boxes running sweet... I would now like to use the slave box as a slave for another master. After googling on this, it way todo it is run multiple instances of mysql on the slave box, each acting as slave for a seperate master. Would someone be able to give me an example of running two or more instances of mysql nicly on debian? All boxes are running sarge.

new kernel, new problems
Having installed kernel-image-2.4.20-686 and kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4.20-686 to rid myself of a couple of problems I was having with my old kernel (2.4.19), I've now picked up a couple of new problems. 1) A failure to get the pcmcia modem running - I notice there is a pcmcia entry in /proc/devices under the old kernel but not the new one. How can I track down the relavent info in the old kernel that I can use in the new one to the modem up again? 2) Reading /var/log/dmesg when booting under the new kernel, it claims to detect a 700 MHz processor while the old kernel gets it right at 1000 MHz. WTF? Thanks in advance. = --- Simon Tod [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!?

RE: new kernel, new problems
Thanks. Got the cpu speed bit solved.
Looking through the PCMCIA HowTo I've checked to see
that /etc/pcmica/config, /etc/default/pcmcia and
/etc/init.d/pcmica are the same under both kernels.
My new kernel is missing the line
serial_cs 4384 0 (unused)
from lsmod.
Under the kernel 2.4.20-686 the output of
/proc/devices is
Character devices:
1 mem
2 pty/m%d
3 pty/s%d
4 tts/%d
5 cua/%d
7 vcs
10 misc
13 input
14 sound
29 fb
128 ptm
136 pts/%d
162 raw
Block devices:
1 ramdisk
3 ide0
while under 2.4.19 it's
Character devices:
1 mem
2 pty
3 ttyp
4 ttyS
5 cua
7 vcs
10 misc
14 sound
29 fb
108 ppp
128 ptm
136 pts
162 raw
180 usb
203 cpu/cpuid
226 drm
254 pcmcia
Block devices:
2 fd
3 ide0
7 loop
43 nbd
There seem to be a whole bunch of devices missing in
the new kernel.
An attempt to start serial_cs with modprobe illicited
the response
/lib/modules/2.4.20-686/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o:
insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.20-686/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o
failed
/lib/modules/2.4.20-686/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o:
insmod serial_cs failed
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module
parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the
output from dmesg
while insmod serial_cs gave me
Using
/lib/modules/2.4.20-686/kernel/drivers/char/pcmcia/serial_cs.o
/lib/modules/2.4.20-686/kernel/drivers/char/pcmcia/serial_cs.o:

/lib/modules/2.4.20-686/kernel/drivers/char/pcmcia/serial_cs.o:
unresolved symbol unregister_pccard_driver_Rdb348cd2
So now I'm stumped. Where do I go from here to get the
pcmcia modem up and running?

Re: new kernel, new problems
So why can't modprobe find any of the modules - if indeed that's the problem - cause they're certainly where they're supposed to be.

apt-src question
Hi, hope this is the correct place to ask. Why is it, that when I install a package with apt-src, and do an apt-get -u upgrade after that, that the package is to be 'upgraded' to another package of the exact same version from the debian server? Isn't it only supposed to upgrade if the version number has changed? Or do I need to do something special after installing the from-source package? This happens with every package, I tried 9.

Added the new lines and ran apt-get update apt-get install gnome-core gdm gtk2-engines* The gtk2-engines complained with Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.2.1) but 2.0.9-1 is to be installed Depends: libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.2.1) but 1.0.5-3 is to be installed BUT, the new libgtk2.0-0 and libpango1.0-0 are definately there... so adding them, and libgtk2.0-common and libxft2 in which they in turn depend to the apt-get install line I get the unmet dependency libxft2: Depends: xlibs (>= 4.2.0) but 4.1.0-16 is to be installed The relavent xlibs is not on the ftp site but there's one in testing, so finally adding '-t testing xlibs' to my apt-get install line ought to do the trick. It seems to want to do an *awful lot* in the process...

Even forcing 'apt-get install xfree86-common' from people.debian.org/~blade doesn't seem to do the trick; there must be other dependency issues as to why apt-get update && apt-get upgrade' wasn't sufficient to pull in the new XFree86 once the people.debian.org/~blade source had been added to my list. Any ideas?

Re: Disable mozilla plugins selectively
Hi, http://www.privoxy.org/ is a good solution. It's the following of junkbuster. You can disable a plugin by default, and you can re-enable them site by site. Since it will change the HTML code embedding the flash file, so more messages about a missing plugin. Also, I think more recent versions of mozilla have a switch for that, and maybe some prefs.js editing could do it on 1.0.

Upgrading kernel
Hi I have just upgraded my kernel from 2.2.20-idepci to 2.4.18-k7 and all appears ok apart from networking. The server has a RealTek 18139 card that works fine for 2.2, using rt18139. There is no equivalent module for the 2.4.18-k7 kernel, and attempts to try 3x59x, ne2k-pci fail miserably. Any ideas on how I get the network to function under 2.4?

Sorry to drop in at this point, I didn't see the beginning of the thread. A simple gramar doesn't mean it's simple to learn. English grammar can be simplified all the way down to say that there is no grammar, when accepting tons of `exceptions'. Or, it can be considered extremely complex, for instance if pronounciation rules should be applied mechanically. English is easy to start to learn, but the further the student progresses, the more difficult it gets. The positional grammar actually allows to form some working english sentences very quickly, which is not that possible in German, where you are confronted quite soon with declinations and a twisted sentence structure. On a more advanced level, it's hard to improve in English, because of so many exceptions, phrases and overloaded meanings, while german becomes predictable, being able to deduce the meaning of something new, or even forming new words by composition which are understood by the native speaker. What makes german really difficult specially for the beginner are the teaching methods which are based on the same principles as for teaching english: The student learns sentences as if german also had a positional grammar, without any linguistic understanding. This might appear to be more fun as it allows to say something already after the first lesson, but it just delays the solution of the initial problem. Even worse, german education has dropped so much during the last 2 decades, that many natives have severe difficulties in choosing the right tense or declination. On the other hand, an interested student can master most of german grammar within 6 to 12 months, from where on german actually becomes a language which is really very easy do deal with. -- Christoph Simon [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- ^X^C q quit :q ^C end x exit ZZ ^D ? help . -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

resize swap partition `in situ`, using parted
In an attempt to redistribute disk space I'm trying to shrink the size of my swap space. Qtparted refuses to do the job as it's in use and the version on my Knoppix CD doesn't appear to work. The parted boot disk is currently unavailable from the GNU website, so my only option at the moment appears to be using parted on the fly. *However* parted warns me that the partition is in use and modification could cause severe corruption. Can I ignore this warning? (running version 1.6.6-1 on sid). As an aside, parted uses MB while fdisk uses cylinders. How do I convert between the two?

Unidentified subject!
After a hdd install from knoppix 3.2 I tried to dist-upgrade to Debian unstable. It all seems to work fine but my debian_version is still reported as testing/unstable. I've tracked this down to the fact that a number of packages from the hdd install are not at the latest versions available in unstable but are unoffical versions with different dependencies. The most significant being sysvinit. If I try 'apt-get install sysvinit', I'm told I have the latest version installed. Not true. The knoppix version is 2.84 something or other, whereas 2.85 is available in unstable. If I try 'apt-get --reinstall install sysvinit', I'm told the packages is not available for download. This is a common problem when trying to replace a package from an unofficial source with an official one. My usual trick is just to remove the offending package, then reinstall from an official source. HOWEVER, sysvinit is a rather crucial package (I think!?) and I'm a little concerned that removing it - even if only to replace it with a different version shortly afterwards - may be dangerous. Any suggestions as to whether or not this may be a safe thing to do or what alternative approach I could take would be much appreciated...

I'm not using any apt pinning rules. The problem is, as you guessed, the epoch number. Version 2:2.84-161. So, any ideas? How do I "downgrade" to the more up to date version in sid?

If you think you might want to upgrade other packages in the future - and why not, Woody is *old* and most people happily run Sid on their desktops - you should look at dist-upgrading to Sid HTH. > -- > Joe Rhett > Chief Geek > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Isite Services, Inc. > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".

You might want to look at using 'make xconfig' to get pop up a GUI to help with the configuration, though the benefit 'make oldconfig' is that it only troubles you with the new options.

dpkg error
Hi. I was in the process of purging a package when I accidently killed the process. Now, when I try 'apt-get --purge remove ftape-util' I get the error dpkg: error processing ftape-util (--purge): Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal. Errors were encountered while processing: ftape-util E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) So, I try 'apt-get --reinstall install ftape-util', but get the error Preparing to replace ftape-util 1:1.09.2002.03.21-0.1 (using .../ftape-util_1%3a1.09.2002.03.21-0.3_i386.deb) ...
