Debian Configuration :: HP MSA2040 Direct Attach SAS
Jun 24, 2015
I have recently acquired a HP MSA 2040 san, which they say will work with Red Hat. But I'd much rather use Debian. It's attached to a Gen 9 DL360. I cannot get the OS to see the external drives. I hope it's just me mssing something.
I have told the DL360 to keep the external control in HBA mode, not RAID, not using the hosts RAID intelligence. I think I have set the MSA to offer a couple of disks as a virtual drive. I CAN see the drives in the BIOS boot menu for the DL360, though it doesn't show the virtual voilumes on the MSA, I cannot see the MSA virtual or physical drives once Debian is installed.
I have installed multipath-tools, and the SCSCi utilities.
But no luck seeing the drives.

So I have a GoFlex NAS driver, which according the specs has a theoretical maximum performance of 100 MB [URL] .....
I connected by ehternet to my PC (GNU/Linux, Debian 8 ) to do a backup.
I mounted it with cifs:
Code: Select allmount -t cifs "//goflexhome.local/GoFlex Home Personal" /mnt/gf/per/ -o credentials=/root/gfpass,uid=1000,gid=1000
And then tried rsyncing my home folder.
Code:
Select allDIR=/home
BACKUP_FILE=/mnt/gf/per/bck2016/
FLAGS=" --archive --one-file-system --acls --xattrs --numeric-ids --fake-super --progress --human-readable --ignore-existing --log-file="backup.log" "                                                        Â
FLAGS+=" ${DIRS} ${BACKUP_FILE}"
rsync ${FLAGS}Â Â
I then used iptraf to check the performance and I get miserable results (from the PC), even below 1 MB:
total 74.7 kbits
in 30.4 kbits
out 48.5 kbist

I have never done this before but stood up a new Debian (testing) x64 system. It only has 146GB available for RAID1 so I created a 500GB iSCSI LUN on my NAS device on the network and am really confused how I can attach my Debian to the iSCSI LUN I created. Right now the OS is installed all locally on the machine but I would like the iSCSI LUN to be the /home directory for mail storage. Is this possible or do I need to mount the LUN to a newly created folder / mount point that is locally attached?

So I have been struggling to make this happen for a bit and cannot figure it out. I want to communicate directly from my non-GUI Debian to my Puppy Linux PC. I have set up my Puppy PC for direct connection as per the instructions in the network wizard. I need to set up my Debian to do the same.
I have done the
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
in /etc/network/interfaces.
I still cannot ping the Debian machine from the Puppy one. Are there any other steps to the direct connection? (I already have the crossover cable in place)
I have also tried this with both PCs connected to a Netgear router. I CAN connect to the debian machine if it is on the router at the IP I assigned it and the Puppy PC is configured to use the router.
Is there a file I can edit or a process I can turn off? I think it's close I am just not sure what I am missing.

how exactly would you open a port and point it to an html page, like port 80 does by default?
Example: Port 2985 -> ./var/www/login/index.php

How to change:
(1) My preferred File Management program, the one that kicks off when I use Places? and
(2) The amount of time before the display is put to sleep?
I DO NOT WANT TO USE A GUI FRONT END to do this. The reason is (1) my preferred File Manager, Xfe, is not listed as one of the options by Preferred Applications. And (2) Power Management Preferences allows 10 or 30 minutes before putting the display to sleep but I want 20 minutes. I need to know what files contain these configurations so I can edit them directly.

I am having no luck configuring ProFTPd on a Debian Lenny production server we use to host our MySQL databases and a few websites. I had originally set it up so I could login and manage our internal sites, but I have the need to allow a few clients in to access their sites that we host. I am trying to root the users in their site directory, which would be "/sites/www.whatever.com/".
It just hit me while typing this. Is it possible to create a user without a shell to prevent login via SSH and set the home folder to /sites/whatever instead of /home/username? That would allow me to continue operating with my current configuration and root them in their site while preventing SSH logins.

i have a HP MSA 2312fc SAN with 2 LUNs configured. The first LUN (LUN ID 1) is correctly connected to the system, but when i connect the second LUN (LUN ID 30), i find in the syslog this message: multipathd: 8:64: size 6835937472, expected 5267578112. Discard
Here is the multipath.conf
[Code]....
So I correctly see the two luns, but multipath doesn't create the relative devices. Under /dev/mapper I see: control mpath0 mpath0-part1 mpath0-part1 is the first lun, the one I mounted in a directory under filesystem. I can't find the device for the second lun

I am *finally* getting around to rebuilding my file-sharing computer. I'll be sharing files with both Linux and Windoze machines. It's a home network, so there's nothing fancy needed. I know I have to tweak my smb.conf file until I'm satisfied with the features and security. I'm using SWAT and I'm starting with a bare-bones conf file. It's not secure but I can see the server and selected files/directories from my other Linux box.
My really dumb question is, do I have to reboot both the server and the client machines every time I change the SAMBA configuration? I thought I just had to stop and restart the SAMBA service in the SWAT software - but then the server disappears from my client. It looks like I need to reboot both machines for the client to see the server.

I have a PC104 running debian. I have 3 hard drives (in addition to the one booting) mounted in fstab by UUID. I use the options defaults,error=remount-ro. However, this means that when I boot with the hard drives not attached, I have to press Ctrl-D to bypass when the boot discovers the drives are missing. Is there a timeout commandoption I can add to fstab so that it automatically continues booting even if the hard drives are not attached? I could not find anything on a timeout command. (I tried adding timeout=1000 but no-random guess)

I am using Squessze and Gnome. When I try to use the gui System>Administration>Network or Users and Groups I get the error The configuration could not be loaded. You are not allowed to access the system configuration.Everything was working before. I read around a bit. In some cases,it was caused by mismatching group and password files after using the gui. I do not know how to check if they are matching. Of course I do not know for sure that is the problem in my case.

If I attach an NTFS drive to opensuse 11.3, will the OS see the drive and the files?
My goal:
I wanted to install OpenSuSE and add VMware Server 2.02 on top of it. I have a few hard drives that are NTFS. I need for my Windows virtual machines to see those hard drives. So in order for that to happen, the host OS would have to see the hard drives as well.

I have a question about NFS and CentOS 6.0. Here is the environment: Server running VMware's esxi 3.5 (Fully patched) 10.1.1.50 Server running CentOS 5.5 with NFS. 10.1.1.51 With the systems in the above config everything is working fine. Install a new hard drive in the CentOS server and install CentOS 6.0. Use the same IP 10.1.1.51. Configure NFS, the VM server can't attach to the NFS share.
Here is the config of the NFS server:
Firewall Disabled
SELinux Disabled
NFS installed and running.
NFS-Utils installed.
Contents of /etc/exports
[Code]...
I have confirmed I can telnet to the ports listed. Any clue why the setup with CentOS 6.0 doesn't work? Is this a NFS4 vs. NFS3 thing? Is there a way to force CentOS to use NFS3? I am pretty sure the CentOS 5.5 server is using NFS4.

I am working on a Debian 2.6.26-19 Distribution with exim4 as MTA. After a system restart a problem occurred with delivering emails to local addresses. These local addresses use a 1and1 mailserver for email. The MX records for the local domain are set correctly but exim does not use a DNS lookup for these addresses because it identifies them as local addresses. I figured this out by executing the exim4 -d -bt command. The dns lookup part of the result looks like this (I replaced the actual address with placeholders):
[Code]....
The eventual result of the exim4 -d -bt command is: [user]@[domain.ext] is undeliverable: Unrouteable address How can I make sure, that exim4 makes a DNS lookup for the local addresses instead of skipping it? I know that I have to edit a exim4 configuration file, but I could not figure out which and how.

I have a set of vm's with stable, testing, and sid to keep track of how things are going. When I did an apt-get dist-upgrade with squeeze last week, things seemed to OK (350 package updates) until the end. It didn't seem to like and / or was confused by a kernel dependency.
I am not too concerned yet. Because these are in vm's, I do a snapshot before any significant change. I can futz around with impunity because I have that backup.
I re-booted, and tried the apt-get dist-upgrade again with same results. I think I also tried apt-get -f install.
So I reverted to the snapshot, and will simply try again in the future. I recall that with lenny as testing, the font-desktop was really screwed up for about a period of 6 weeks.
However, just in case someone else runs into this:
1) a re-boot worked, but the failure of apt-get made me nervous enough to revert.
2) waiting for corrections has seemed to work in the past (with a single exception with a 4-disk SCSI software RAID10 update that failed to re-boot lenny successfully after what seemed to be a minor update -- that was on a real system, not a vm. I haven't gotten back to look at that.)
