Hello, My intro
by Chris Johnson 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

Hi all, I've been lurking on the mailing list for a while and I finally registered for my fedora account today (username: chrisj) I'm interested in helping out as time permits. I got on irc once (lurking again) and haven't really logged in since. I'll try to make a few meetings after the holidays I'm planning to get my personal test systems setup soon. I just moved and still getting things straight at home. Bought a 750GB drive last night and will be installing F10 over the weekend. I had been running the U... distro and it's time to get back to the fedora/RH rpm way of doing things :-) I've used RedHat since before Fedora existed (I think 6 was the first one). Started as a hobbyist, 2 years. Then got a job as an admin and have been doing Linux admin and Cisco networks for the last 5 years. My current employer is a Win shop so I just get to run the DNS, email, and network, but the network is 50 remote offices and 3 different data centers in the midwest. I don't mind the Windows too much and can find my way around them, it's also kinda fun to get the Linux and MS products to play nice together. I've worked with a lot of different linux and OSS software products including: postfix, openldap, apache, bind, samba, mailman, pam, built some custom rpm's, etc. I use RHEL mostly at work and some fedora and Cent for testing (some suse, deb, and slackware in the past). I used to do lots of security firewall apliances with various linux distros (I was a big fan of LRP when it would fit on a floppy), most of this is now done with Cisco in my world. I can shell script pretty well and I've written several perl scripts in the last few years (dabbled in php but not enough to know it well). I've always been interested in python but don't have much if any exp with it. I also don't have much experience with SQL/DB or source control. I was looking at the FIGs and would be interested in the base sysadmin and sysadmin-noc for now while I figure out where everything is and what it does. I'm also interested in more info on the sysadmin-tools and sysadmin-web FIG. So, next just apply for the FIGs, keep lurking, ask some questions, show up for IRC meetings? Thanks all, -- Chris Johnson ++++++++++ j.chris.johnson(a)gmail.com ++++++++++++++++++++

Disk IO issues
by Mike McGrath 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

Lets pool some knowledge together because at this point, I'm missing something. I've been doing all measurements with sar as bonnie, etc, causes builds to timeout. Problem: We're seeing slower then normal disk IO. At least I think we are. This is a PERC5/E and MD1000 array. When I try to do a normal copy "cp -adv /mnt/koji/packages /tmp/" I get around 4-6MBytes/s When I do a cp of a large file "cp /mnt/koji/out /tmp/" I get 30-40MBytes/s. Then I "dd if=/dev/sde of=/dev/null" I get around 60-70 MBytes/s read. If I "cat /dev/sde > /dev/null" I get between 225-300MBytes/s read. The above tests are pretty consistent. /dev/sde is a raid5 array, hardware raid. So my question here is, wtf? I've been working to do a backup which I would think would either cause network utilization to max out, or disk io to max out. I'm not seeing either. Sar says the disks are 100% utilized but I can cause major increases in actual disk reads and writes by just running additional commands. Also, if the disks were 100% utilized I'd expect we would see lots more iowait. We're not though, iowait on the box is only %0.06 today. So, long story short, we're seeing much better performance when just reading or writing lots of data (though dd is many times slower then cat). But with our real-world traffic, we're just seeing crappy crappy IO. Thoughts, theories or opinions? Some of the sysadmin noc guys have access to run diagnostic commands, if you want more info about a setting, let me know. I should also mention there's lots going on with this box, for example its hardware raid, lvm and I've got xen running on it (though the tests above were not in a xen guest). -Mike

Hi, I am talking about this one https://fedorahosted.org/freemedia/ I have installed the eggs of customfield plugin and webadmin plugin. But they are not showing up. May be I need to enable them trac.ini. I don't find it in puppet and neither can I see it through TracAdmin panel. -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= ssh 0x86DD170A http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:susmit =============================================

FAS 'User List' not working in HEAD
by Jon Stanley 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

When you click on 'User List' in the left hand side of FAS, you get an UnboundLocalError that 'user' is referenced before defined. This is the result of some code in list() in user.py that was modified to allow the return of selected fields. However, if the query does not specify what fields are wanted, the 'user' variable is not defined. I tried to define it at the end if it didn't exist with person[0], but that didn't seem to work for some reason. The patch below is a little hackish, but functional. index a00d5fa..819b25b 100644 --- a/fas/user.py +++ b/fas/user.py @@ -446,9 +446,15 @@ https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/user/verifyemail/%s search=search) if person[1] == 'approved': - approved.append(user) + try: + approved.append(user) + except UnboundLocalError: + approved.append(person[0]) else: - unapproved.append(user) + try: + unapproved.append(user) + except UnboundLocalError: + unapproved.append(person[0]) if not (approved or unapproved): turbogears.flash(_("No users found matching '%s'") % search)
