flock problems
by matthew zeier 11 Jun '98

11 Jun '98

This problem seems to happen about once a month. Wondering if it's a configuration probably on my end or just an issue with my filer. Mail is delivered to ~/.mailbox onto a F540 running 4.3.1D7. and clients are all Solaris 2.5.1. After about a month I start getting lots of calls from users (mostly elm users, some mutt users) about being unable to read their mailbox. A truss on the process shows it sleeping waiting for a flock on .mailbox. mutt uses dotlocking and seems to just hang doing … [View More]

CVTUSER Questions...
by Weeks, Thomas 11 Jun '98

11 Jun '98

Hey all.. I was planning on using the CVTUSER utils to dump all my NT users into my FS230's (OT V4.3.4) /etc/passwd file in preparation for using the filer as a pure CIFS based home drive for our NT login users... (no NFS) My Q is... Is there a way to force CVTUSER to create the user list export both alphabetically AND with ascending UID's? This way, as we add users to the filer, we don't have to check for "free UIDs"? Or if we're not even USING NFS (which we are not) and all we're using … [View More]

Re: filer-mrtg question
by Mark D Simmons 11 Jun '98

11 Jun '98

Well, I've got our local install of mrtg running with the non-cifs bits of filer-mrtg (I'm using an SGI for this monitoring task and already had an mrtg setup in place...so filer-mrtg was bit narrow-focus for my taste). Basically I lifted the first three parts of the filer-mrtg config file and run mrtg out of cron with them, for each of the filers I look after. I'm looking at the whole MIB for other useful things but my understanding of SNMP is still maturing. mrtg doesn't seem to be the … [View More]

Has anybody put this in place and have the nfsops code working? I see it is not there, yet graphs get generated for it. I just don't want to spin my wheels if others have it working already. Thanks. Alex

System RAM for F330 (or used NetApp stuff)
by Brian Marcotte 09 Jun '98

09 Jun '98

Lets try this one more time... NetApp tells me I need the following RAM for my F330: Buffered CAS DRAM, SIMM, 72 Pin, 8Mx36 60NS fast page mode, 4CAS 2K refresh, gold contacts This is not quite PC RAM, so I've not managed to locate a source. Any help locating this RAM would be greatly appreciated! Also, if anyone knows a source for used NetApp equipment, that would be a great help also. Specifically, I'd like parts suitable for a F330, or entire lower-end filers (F330, F210 ,F220, etc). … [View More]

by Daniel Quinlan 09 Jun '98

09 Jun '98

Anyone out there using 5.0.1 (or later, especially 5.0.1D1) with NDMP to directly attached SCSI tape drives? If you are, I'd like to hear whether or not you've had problems, or if any problems from earlier releases were resolved for you. Thanks.a - Dan

RE: Quota's, Qtrees, Old_WAFL, NewWAFL, etc...
by Weeks, Thomas 08 Jun '98

08 Jun '98

Yes... this sounds nice, but we do not use the filers tape drives (at this time) for backups... we are using NFS based Networker (Sun based Legatto product). I imagine after we get away from NFS and go to pure CIFS, we'll be moving our backups to full NT based (to keep any/all CIFS ACLs' intact with out files). Also, I imagine that your implimentation of dump does not allow for single file (or single directory) restorations does it? I realize that there are a couple products out there to … [View More]

Hi Thomas, Since you mention quota trees, I'd like to jump in and discuss the benefits of quota trees within 5.1 (shipping soon) and backup: My recommendation is that you should arrange your data in quota trees whenever possible when running 5.1 for these reasons: 1. You can have different security models running on a per quota tree basis (ntfs, mixed (multi-protocol) or unix). 2. Pass I & II of dump has been optimized for full quota tree (as well as full volume) backups.… [View More]
