Restoring NetApp dumps with Solaris ufsrestore
by Chris Thompson 03 Oct '02

03 Oct '02

Following some very nasty experiences with Veritas (vxvm & vxfs) on one of our systems, we are currently in paranoia mode about our ability to restore from backups, and have been doing more than usually extensive tests. I have come across a serious problem with ONTAP restore, but I am in communication with NetApp about that and it's not the subject of this message. Maybe later on ... :-) NetApp have said on a number of occasions that it's a design feature of their dump format that it is a compatible extension of good old BSD dump format, so that if all else fails one can feed them to a BSD-type restore program (losing ACLs and such-like info, of course). Solaris "ufsrestore" is usually explicitly or implicitly mentioned. So I have been testing that, and have fallen over a problem that I knew about (at least since May 2000, as I see I mentioned it in passing on toasters then) but have been ignoring. Maybe it's time to do something about it! What happens is that ufsrestore says write error extracting inode NNNNN, name ./path/name/to/file write: Bad address and gives up. One can see that it has half-written the file involved. It seems to happen only on files that have holes (often many of them) at odd multiples of 4K: in our case they are usually *.pag files that are part of (n)dbm databases. Now I very strongly suspect that this is a bug in Solaris ufsrestore, not in the NetApp dump contents, and I would like to be able to report it to Sun and get it fixed. But it seems to be very difficult to reproduce with a small example: it's far from the case that every file with oddly-aligned holes causes a problem, or even that a file with exactly the same hole pattern will provoke the bug if it occurs at a different point in the dump. Even worse, it apparently depends on what sort of filing system ufsrestore is restoring into: I have never had it happen if it is a local ufs filing system, but often if it was an nfs one (usually on a NetApp filer, of course). If all these variables are reproduced, though, the effect is repeatable. It's possible that Sun would reject such a bug report unless one could show that it failed on a dump generated by Solaris ufsdump. Solaris ufs filing systems have always been blocked at 8K by default (so that hole boundaries must be on multiples of 8K). On UltraSPARC (sun4u) systems one can't even mount ones that are blocked at 4K any longer. I tried making a ufsdump of a filing system blocked at 4K on a SPARCstation 5 (sun4m) - sometimes it's useful to have such an out of date machine as one's personal workstation! - with a suitably holey file in it, but I couldn't get the ufsrestore bug to show up... :-( If anyone else has ever come across this problem, and/or has any suggestions on how to proceed with homing in on the bug, I would very much like to hear from them. The latest experiments were done with Solaris 8 ufsrestore as patched by 109091-05, but as I said above I believe the bug has been there for many years.

NFS security concerns
by Allen, Pat 19 Sep '02

19 Sep '02

Hi all, I hope that this isn't too obvious a question but here goes.... I'm wondering how people are handling NFS security in environments where you have a lot of Mac OS X or Linux computer systems. For ease of administration, I would love to be able to specify that any computer within our network has read access to various qtrees. But this opens up a can of worms in that anybody with root access on their local Mac or Linux box can spoof user accounts with legitimate UID's and GID's. This essentially gives away the keys to the kingdom. The other obvious alternative is using netgroups but that would be a lot of administration as machines come and go. It's certainly better than opening up access to everybody but not a course that I'd like to take. Are there any other alternatives that I'm missing? Thanks! --- Pat Allen (pat(a)mbari.org) Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) 7700 Sandholdt Rd, Moss Landing, CA 95039 (voice) 831-775-1724; (fax) 831-775-1620

limit to number of files in a directory
by Chris Miles 05 Sep '02

05 Sep '02

Hi all, are there any limits to the maximum number of files (or subdirectories) a Netapp NFS mounted directory can handle? In our case (if it matters) we are looking at Linux 2.4.18 using NFS v3/tcp to a Netapp running 6.1.2R3. We are thinking of a directory with 500,000+ files in it. Cheers, CM -- Chris Miles chris(a)psychofx.com http://www.psychofx.com/chris/

informix on a filer
by Jeff Kennedy 03 Sep '02

03 Sep '02

I know there has recently been a flurry of mails regarding Oracle on a filer but is anyone running Informix on one? I ask because there are alot of issues with the whole Informix/Onbar kludge that we are running into in an effort to evaluate this. Netapp has been involved in the preliminary discussions and will be in the future as well but I wanted to get an idea from real people in the real world as to the problems you solved and others you ran into. Here's a primer of what we think are the benefits: 1) snapshots - much faster than tape backup, takes minimal disk space 2) snapmirror - easy DR 3) snaprestore - fast recovery from an archive (snapshot) for testing and/or devel 4) snapvault - able to take snapshots every 5 minutes (avoid logical logs altogether) and migrate them to R100, increased retention period due to minimal space requirements 5) system recovery - data resides on filer so cpu becomes a FRU Here are a couple of issues/questions regarding the above: Can all Informix data (i.e., database, binaries, etc.) reside on nfs leaving only system files on the cpu (i.e. system, services, vfstab)? Can snapshots every 5 minutes really replace logical logs if 5 minutes is an acceptable point-in-time recovery period? Can snapshots be used to get a reliable backup without quiescing the database? In the event that logical logs are still required we would write them to mirrored internal drives. Has anyone managed to write these logs to nfs? Thanks. -- ===================== Jeff Kennedy Unix Administrator AMCC jlkennedy(a)amcc.com

Multiple tape backups
by Glenn Marsh 29 Aug '02

29 Aug '02

We have been trying to solve a problem with NetApp and they have not found a solution yet. We are using a Sun system running Solaris with attached tape drives to backup a filer remotely using the "dump" command. If you fill up a tape, it will not go to the next tape in the Sun Autoloader and it fails. We have been trying to use several different ways of putting in the tape device to get it to continue to a second tape with no luck. NetApp seams to be at a loss to how to do it as well. Here are the commands we have tried: (issued from the Sun system "jaguar") (/dev/rmt/2cn is the tape drive in the autoloader set to sequencial) rsh landrover dump 0uf jaguar:/dev/rmt/2cn,/dev/rmt/2cn /vol/vol0/processes rsh landrover dump 0uf jaguar:/dev/rmt/2cn,,jaguar:/dev/rmt/2cn /vol/vol0/processes There are several others. If anyone has one that works for sure, please let me know. Thanks. ************************************************************************* Glenn Marsh Lattice Semiconductor Corporation Unix Systems Administrator 5555 NE Moore Court CAD Engineering Hillsboro, Oregon 97124 glenn.marsh(a)latticesemi.com 503-268-8000 503-268-8136 phone - 503-268-8459 fax *************************************************************************
