Server :: Defining Persistent Device Naming On A Debian Lenny?
Nov 25, 2010
I have a problem defining persistent device naming on a Debian Lenny server.I have:RAID1 controller on the server machine with two SCSI disks.external storage with RAID5. I have / mount on the first partition on the server SCSI disk and /storage mount on the external storage. I'm experiencing a problem: The system recognizes the system disk (RAID 1), as sda or sdb randomly.I want: To control the recognition, and tell the system that sda (sda1) will always be the system disk.The motivation: GRUB is configured to work with sda, and when the system disk doesn't, boot process fails, and I end up in the initramfs shell-like interface.
Code:
Booting the kernel

.
mount:mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory
mount:mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: No such file or directory
[code]....

I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 on my desktop and the 70-persistent-net.rules file seems to be ignored. The ethernet interfaces are randomly shuffled around on boot (i have 4 interfaces). The original one was configured to have a static IP address (eth0). Is there anything that prevents the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules from being applied/used?

I am using a QLA2462 and have got FC storage attached through a brocade switch. As soon when I add more storage for this server on this switch my device naming shifts and this new storage comes in between e.g. as sdb, and the other 2 go to sdc and sdd. I looked around but I can't find a good solution for SuSe 11.2.

Since removing the deprecated usblp driver from my kernel I no longer have a /dev/lp0 device, or /dev/usb/lp0. I use these for sending files directly to my printer. Should these be created by udev? If so, why might they not be being created? If not, how can I get a persistent device name for my usb printer?

I have logical partitions on my drive numbered /dev/sda5 through /dev/sda14.I want to reclaim unused space from one of the partitions in the middle /dev/sda7. First I intend to resize /dev/sda7 by leaving the beginning of the partition as is and shrinking the end to create some unallocated space between /dev/sda7 and /dev/sda8. Then I would like to create a new logical partition in this unallocated space. My question is what will be the device name of the newly created logical partition? Will it be /dev/sda15 (I hope)? Or will it be /dev/sda8 and all partitions after this be renamed?
The GParted manual states that if a partition is deleted, all of the following partitions will be renamed, but it doesn't say anything specifically about renaming partitions after adding a new partition in the middle of a partition table.

I have a server wich is connected to an iSCSI storage and gets harddisks from this storage. Sometimes I have to add new disks to this server. Everytime I add a disk and make an /etc/init.d/iscsi restart on the server the disks don't have the same device name as before the iscsi restart.
It should be possible to gave the disks persistent names using udev rules. Now I tried to create different rules in "/etc/udev/rules.d/99-static-iscsi-names.rules" e.g.
# /dev/sdc
KERNEL=="sd*", BUS=="scsi", PROGRAM=="/sbin/scsi_id -g -s %p",RESULT=="360a98000503355344c4a576864467877" NAME=="sdc%n"
In "/etc/rc.local" I added "/sbin/start_udev" and in "/etc/scsi_id.config" I added the line "vendor="NETAPP",model="LUN",options=-g"

Need help on how the scsi and multipathing works in Linux. From the docs i have read, i understand that by the use of multipathing we can assign multiple paths to a SAN partition. If there is a problem then one path will failover to other path.However, i am not clear on how linux recognizes the SAN partitions using the multipath drivers. For e.g. I have a HP Proliant server on which we have the following mounts:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/cciss/c0d0p3 59G 11G 46G 20% /
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 494M 27M 443M 6% /boot

During installation when i set the partitions i have to provide a Name and a Label. What is the difference of these? It looks like only one should be needed. Any problems of using the same name for both?

I have been fighting with this for days. I upgraded from etch to lenny. I tried installing mysql-5.1. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, updated, upgraded, many, *many*, times. It just stubbornly refuses to work.

I installed for the sheer pleasure of it a webserver. includes apache2, postfix mail server, MySQL, MyDNS nameserver, PureFTPd, SpamAssassin, ClamAV, etc etc. (I have tried to use the config panels ispconfig and webmin)
The situation: There are 3 sites listed on the server, All 3 on different virtual hosts (obviously). The http access goes trough the 20080 port since my ISP blocks everything below 1024 (the bastards). I use a linksys router (192.168.1.1) with dmz pointing to 192.168.1.100 (server) The sites on the server:
inphone.be
fraksken.be
fraksken.is-a-geek.org (but appearently not geek enough)
I also gave them own IP's:
192.168.1.95
192.168.1.96
192.168.1.100

i was trying to use gnome and kde but i don't like them. I tried xfce and it seem to fit my needs but.My computer is used to be powered on for a weeks. While time passes, a process xfdesktop begin to use more and more memory and to free RAM i need to log out and log in again.
I tried squeeze yesterday on my virtual machine and it has 4.6 and seem not to have that bug, RAM usage is static(yes it still works when i write this and have memory usage 34492k, which is not changing for an hours of usage already), also 4.6 is MUCH better than 4.4.
i already tried adding squeeze to "sources.list" but i can see too many dependencies which should be upgraded if i install 4.6, i'm beginning to afraid it can crash entire GUI(or entire system, i can see there is libc6 required to be updated).

I'm setting up a VPN with openVPN on a debian lenny server. I successfully installed it in the server, then created the certificates and both client (winXP) and server config files. For the client I use openVPN gui. I tested the tunnel and everything went just fine. I even can ping the openVPN server from the XP client.But thats all. I can't ping any machine behind the openvpn server.Some facts that you may find useful to help me with this issue are:
- The openVPN server is not the default gateway of the LAN. The dg is a pfsense server
- I dont have iptables enabled (policy of all chains are ACCEPT).
- I have configured ip forwarding (echo "1" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward)
[code]....
I have checked and all seems to be OK. I think that the problem is connected with routing the traffic from the vpn to my LAN but I don't know how to do that (besides the push route line in the server.conf).

I have installed Debian lenny with software RAID0 (i think it makes no sence to my problem but maybe...) I have installed apache2+php+MySQL (everything worked) I have installed proftpd (to enable users to put files over FTP) after this i tried to connect over SSH to my server i have got:
Code:
$ ssh -l shark 192.168.0.254 -v
OpenSSH_5.1p1 Debian-5, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: Applying options for *
[code].....
I thought it is problem with SSH i have tried to connect with another machine over putty, but no success... then i have removed ~/.ssh dir and tried to connect again... i got the same error. Then i connected keybord and monitor to my Linux box, tried to connect there... no success... neither root or my regular user shark. but i should mention my FTP users who have shell: /bin/ftp (symlink to /bin/false) log into the system and then automatically disconnect...
i have tried to boot my linux box to debian safe mode... it asked for a root pass. after i provided correct root pass it didn't fit. I remember once i have made my linux boot to init 1 without asking to provide a pass (it was mandriva Free 2005 or 2006.0) how to do it with a debian machine using grub or any other fixing possibilities?
P.S. i can not how provide server side /var/log/syslog or any other info because i cannot log into my Linux "server"

I have installed CUPS on my Debian 5 Lenny server. I do not have a GUI installed, only SSH to command line.
I cannot get CUPS to let me browse to the html interface from another machine. I believe that CUPS is running only on localhost because when I run

I get

When I browse (or telnet) to port 631 from another machine it refuses the connection, if I telnet from my Debian server to port 631 it connects.

I'm not sure how to make it allow me to browse from another machine that does have a GUI so I can configure a printer.

I currently have a debian lenny high performance cluster running seamlessly using dhcp and tftpd-hpa. All nodes are completely diskless, and i would like to keep it that way. I now would like to have a client boot over local into a full KDE desktop.
Here's the cache.
1. I would like the client to also be a node. I would like it to handle processing as the other nodes do, but this one with a full desktop, with ALL data and privileges accessible.
2. The client will have its own workstation graphics. It will need to have that driver loaded without slowing the system.
3. Client will need to be able to use its own usb, bd-rom, dvd, audio, etc. even though it will be booting into the HPC.
4. Wireless. I cannot run 70 ft of lan across an apartment. not happening.
The idea is a media center applicable "powerhouse" with high-end power and graphics for easy media editing, 3d creation, and gaming. Will also be used for webcache over all local, file sharing, and other server applications.
HPC specs:
-headnode: hp compaq p4-ht 3.2 ghz, 4x500gb, 4gb mem, gigabit ethernet, wireless-N
-nodes: 4x p4-ht 2.2 ghz, 2gb mem, no-name brand slim desktops; 2x panasonic toughbooks p4-mobile 1.8 ghz, 1.5gb mem; 3x gateway p3 unknown specs; and 1 hp 530 notebook 1.6ghz core2 duo, 1.5gb mem
-client: hp compaq core2 duo 2.13 ghz, 4gb mem, wireless n, bd-rom, 2x dvd-rom, usb 3.0 card, bluetooth, 1gb AGP nvidia geforce 6800 dual-dvi, no hd.
I need to know how to set up this PXE.

I have one headless squeeze and two notebooks (one squeeze, one lenny).
When I have X (on headless squeeze) on lenny notebook, it is unacceptably slow. Something like it takes 3-10 seconds to redraw window (acroread, iceweasel, possibly xterm.)
It is not so slow when I use squeeze notebook. Yesterday, I upgraded lenny one to squeeze. Then, it is not slow any more!

My Apache web server (respectively a child process) is crashing several times a day. I wanted to find the exact reason and activated the core dumps but even though the crashing-issues continue, the core dumps were never created. I have found several howto's which basically point to the same steps:
- set "ulimit -c unlimited"
- add "CoreDumpDirectory" directive into apache2.conf (Debian's httpd.conf)
Another info I've found is that /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable shouldn't be 0 - so on one howto it said to echo 2 into it, on another one to echo 1 to /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable - didn't work with neither of them.

Been working with this problem for over a week now and has come to a dead end, I have installed pureFTPD with MySQL on Debian 5 Lenny 64bit. My problem is I can't login with the users in the sql-database, but for some strange reason, I'm allowed to loggin as anonymous. Unix users can't login either.
I have followed the guide on: [URL]..
- Created a ftpgroup and ftpuser.
- Created a database ftpd
- Created a user vhosts and given access to ftpd db
My configurations files
