RE: Building a 1pb volume

From: users-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org [mailto:users-bounces@lists.fedoraproject.org] On Behalf Of aragonx(a)dcsnow.com Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2013 4:09 PM To: users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Subject: Building a 1pb volume Hi, I'm looking to build a 1PB (usable) volume on a Fedora or Redhat platform. The volume (has to be a single volume) will be shared out by NFS. My considerations in the order of importance are: Data loss Cost Speed I am currently considering some less expensive storage arrays using 4TB SAS disks in 5+1 RAID 5 configurations (each array would be responsible for 10 such volumes). This will give me one level of protection. Then I'm going to propose a DR site with a full second set of storage. That will give me a 2nd level of protection. Now I would like a 3rd level of protection and I thought about using GlusterFS. If I read it right, it would duplicate the data in a way so that it doesn't reside in a single place. So, has anyone used Gluster? Does anyone have any other suggestions that might work for a situation like this? All options are currently on the table so it's play time! :) Thanks!

Never hurts to look at it. I understood that quite some steps were taken (now at 0.53) Some people regards the stuff from Microsoft not even "beta-grade" ;-) Same discussion was for reiserfs and currently for btrfs. By trying out, you can get confidence, and from the description it looks highly scalable.

FC18 install - doesn't offer other OS on the drive
by Bill Davidsen 05 Feb '13

05 Feb '13

I'll see if a different subject, devoid of anything but the question, brings a response. When I installed FC18 on a drive with FC17 and XP the installer didn't offer an option to boot those OS as alternatives. Is this a bug or by design. -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen(a)tmr.com> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot

OT: what's with the 'i'?
by Patrick O'Callaghan 04 Feb '13

04 Feb '13

Way way OT: Just out of interest, why do some people use the non-existent word "i", not to mention other violations of capitalization rules when 1) their Shift key is clearly not broken, and 2) they aren't the poet e.e. cummings? I've seen a number of people do this (admittedly a tiny minority) and never understood it. Do they think it's cool? Are they expressing their inner rebel? Were they punished by their English teacher at school? Is hitting Shift too much effort? Enquiring minds want to know. Sorry, this has been bugging me for ages and I had just had to get this off my chest. Feel free to ignore. poc

Advice needed on setting up a second DHCP network on separate Ethernet controller with access to internet
by Aaron Gray 04 Feb '13

04 Feb '13

Hi, with the new firewalld and possible changes to Fedora. I need advice on setting up a second DHCP network on 192.168.01.x on a separate Ethernet controller with access to internet for http and https and DNS for the second network from the existing 192.168.0.1 DHCP network and controller. This is for PXEBOOT'ing new servers. I managed to do this before once on F14 with the old Fedoras configuration and Shorewall, but could not get it to work on F16 when I tried again. I am now wanting to do this again on F18. And would like to ideally do it without Shorewall. And would like to do a HOWTO to accompany the PXEBOOT HOWTO. Hope you can help. Many thanks in advance, Aaron

Display rates -
by Bob Goodwin 03 Feb '13

03 Feb '13

I've just changed a monitor and need to set the resolution to 1680 x 1050 @60Hz [ViewSonic VX2035WM]. XFCE display settings offers nothing higher than 1024 x 758 @60Hz which it seems to default to. The Gigabyte motherboard shows a max. of 1920 x 1200. I looked in the BIOS settings and don't see anything I recognize as setting this although I may have missed something I suppose. The system runs F-18/64 and XFCE as I said. This is a new problem to me, usually video settings just work without my attention, I haven't used this monitor before and perhaps it does not identify itself? Dunno. Suggestions appreciated, Bob -- http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box9 Fedora-18 Linux

Disabling SlowKeys?
by Tethys 03 Feb '13

03 Feb '13

I, along with many others, have a frequent annoyance where SlowKeys gets enabled in the X server. Yes, I can work around it by holding down a shift key to turn it off again. But is there any way I can permanently disable it? Some way of configuring the X server such that it never enables SlowKeys? I'm getting *really* fed up with it, and no one seems to know what's turning it on. It's certainly *not* being enabled by me holding down shift. And the bug report implies that the X server itself isn't capable of turning it on. So it must be an application that's doing it. However, I'm not running anything that I wasn't running in previous Fedora releases, but I never had this problem until F17 :-( Tet -- "Java is a DSL for taking large XML files and converting them to stack traces" -- Bulat Shakirzyanov

humble suggestion to Fedora developers
by Ranjan Maitra 02 Feb '13

02 Feb '13

Dear friends, By now, it is clear that F18 has not quite matched up to expectations. The main problem appears to be the installer. Several people here have expressed their intent to stick to F17 and give F18 a miss. While there is always a small proportion that appear to say this every time a new release is put out, there is a larger issue here for Fedora itself: several of us can not update because fedup or even fedora-upgrade does not work (and some of us do not want to try this out because failing would mean dealing with the installer or going back to F17). However, Fedora needs to have people try out the distribution to work through kinks in all the packages, otherwise F19 will be equally bad if not worse. But without installing F18, there is no way out to this problem. Therefore, I would like to suggest that Fedora put this current installer (F18) in abeyance and re-roll the release using the old installer while the new one is fixed for F19 (after responding to the feedback generated thus far). I am not sure how an update to the installer in F18 will help since an install is needed for an update and once updated, there is no need for the installer. The main benefit to Fedora for such an approach will be that all the other features introduced in F18 can be tried and evaluated.
