nfs - increasing dir size...
by bruce
Hi.
I'm running centos7 (and might switch to fed to test) and testing nfs.
The test nfs server has a 30G SSD with a dirve "/foo" as the test nfs
drive. I'm testing all of this on Digital Ocean which uses SSD.
The test nfs server has the exportfs set up for this.
The test client has this set in the /etc/fstab as well.
My issue now is how do I extend the "size/space" of the test nfsDir "/foo"
DigitalOcean provides "block storage" which apparently implements
volumes that can be attached, but iI'm not quite seeing how to use the
block storage to extend the "/foo" dir on the test NFS server.
I could just do a "resize" of the test NFS server but that would get
more cpu/ram and I only need additional dirve...
Hopefully someone has skills with digital ocean! If this is too far
beyond the list let me know!
Thoughts/pointers are helpful.
thanks guys..

rpcbind update excessive delay
by Sam Varshavchik
Applying the most recent batch of updates took excessively long on every
system I updated.
On the last one, I apparently isolated it to "systemctl restart
rpcbind.socket" stalling. This gets invoked by the rpcbind package's scripts:
root 9094 9068 0 10:14 tty2 00:00:00 /bin/systemctl restart rpcbind.socket
root 9103 9017 0 10:14 pts/0 00:00:00 ps -fwu root
[root@thinkpad system]# date
Sat Dec 30 10:15:02 EST 2017
At that point, it's been sitting, doing nothing, for about a minute.
Eventually whatever choked it finally unchoked, and the update continued.
Checking the status of this job:
● rpcbind.socket - RPCbind Server Activation Socket
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/rpcbind.socket; enabled; vendor prese
Active: active (running) since Sat 2017-12-30 10:17:21 EST; 39s ago
So, it finally got started @10:17. So, it took around three minutes for
systemd to figure out how to close and reopen a couple of lousy sockets.
That's all, apparently, what it had to do here. Amazing.

My apologies if this is a Very Dumb Question: what are people
viewing mp4 files with? I've tried a bunch of stuff, and searched "Fedora
mp4" online, but it seems nothing I have installed will do it.

Is there any way to unify the password managers for Gnome (Keyring),

work going on to make it possible?

DWA192 Driver 8814au Loadable Under Kernel 4.13.16-300 but not
Loadable Under Kernel 4.14.7-300.
by Stephen Morris
Having just done a system upgrade, the upgrade has upgraded the kernel
from 4.13.16-300 to 4.14.7-300, consequently I no longer have wifi access.
Manually compiling the driver for 4.14.7-300 produces the following
warnings:
WARNING: "__vfs_read" [/usr/src/rtl8814au-5.1.5/8814au.ko] undefined!
WARNING: "vfs_read" [/usr/src/rtl8814au-5.1.5/8814au.ko] undefined!
A subsequent insmod 8814au or modprobe 8814au does not load the driver
because of an undefined symbol, but does not specify what the symbol is.
My assumption it is because of the above warnings.
Having done a search through the headers for kernel 4.14.7-300 I have
found that include file fs.h has the definitions for __vfs_read and
vfs_read.
In the driver include file osdep_service_linux.h I found the following
statements:
#ifdef CONFIG_EFUSE_CONFIG_FILE
#include <linux/fs.h>
#endif
In an attempt to fix the warnings I did and explicit #include
<linux/fs.h>, and recompiled the driver source but doing this did not
resolve the warnings.
Does anyone know what I need to do to resolve the warnings and hence
make the driver kernel loadable?
regards,
Steve

guestmount --ro fails in fedora 27 on running VM?
by Tom Horsley
I've just gotten everything switched to fedora 27,
and I'm now finding that guestmount fails on a
running VMs disk image. I used to be able to
mount --ro and see a read only snapshot of the
disk even if the KVM was still running. Now I
get a lot of errors when I run:
LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 LIBGUESTFS_TRACE=1 guestmount -d centinil -i --ro mnt
One of the errors that appears is:
qemu-img: /tmp/libguestfssn6HDK/overlay1.qcow2: Failed to get shared "write" lock
Is another process using the image?
And, yes, another process is using the image, but --ro
used to work even when that was the case.
Should I submit a bug on this, or is this change
deliberate?
(The guestmount does seem to work fine once the VM is
shut down).
