Quota logging question
by Matt Phelps 06 Mar '04

06 Mar '04

Sorry if this has been asked before. Is there any way to get quota log messages to use the username info from NIS in the logs insted of just the UID? It's minor, but a pain. Data OnTap 6.4.2P6, NFS with Solaris and Linux clients only. Thanks, -- Matt Phelps System Administrator, Computation Facility Harvard - Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics mphelps(a)cfa.harvard.edu, http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/~mphelps

I've had several people ask for more details about the configuration: Network: 100 Mb switched network full duplex Filer: F760C with ONTAP 6.4.1 Database Server: RHEL Kernel 2.4.21-9.EL 1 GB of RAM; (we're trying to get that increased because we have seen some swapping going on) 1 Intel 2.4 GHz Xeon processor Mount options: rw,fg,hard,nointr,retrans=2,tcp,vers=3,timeo=600 We are using NFS over TCP by the recommendation of NetApp and because we saw data corruption when we were using NFS over UDP. I am looking into some of the mount options for Linux; one document says to turn noac off, another says to turn it on. I haven't seen any reference to a forcedirectio option, and I know that asynch I/O is not supported in NFS for Linux (yet?). If you have any other questions, let me know and I'll do my best to answer them. Thanks to everyone who has responded so far!

Linux / NetApp / Oracle question
by Geoff Hardin 05 Mar '04

05 Mar '04

Hey Toasters, I have a situation that has come up where we are testing Oracle 9i on a 2.4 GHz Intel Xeon system with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 as the operating system. The database itself resides on a NetApp filer. We have run through the normal problems, switching to NFS over TCP rather than UDP, no asynch I/O, not as much like Solaris as we expected, but now we're still not seeing the level of performance that we had expected. Our test database run on a Sun 280R takes about 2 hours; the same test run on our Linux system takes about 2:40. Definitely not the results we had expected. I was just wondering if anyone out there has done something similar and has any tuning recommendations. Oracle tells us that it should work fine on Linux, and we know our other databases work fine running off filers, so that leaves us with a solution that should work, but doesn't. Any recommendations, white papers, or RTFM (as long as you indicate which manual), would be greatly appreciated.

I am a private financial consultant. I am the personal financial / business consultant to a foreigner who worked and died in U.K. without any will. I got your email address while searching for trustworthy individual personality that can collaborate with me in this matter of crucial mutual benefits. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim this money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased. Unfortunately, we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relations died alongside with him in the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you, and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the Bank Treasury as unclaimed asset or used for purchase of weapons of mass distruction etc etc. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and it would not be proper for a CITIZEN OF THE UNITED KINGDOM to stand in as next of kin to a foreigner. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin. I have all necessary documents to back up claims as Next of Kin on your behalf. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I will also instruct you on how you on how you can get paid through the corresponding bank in America, Europe or Asia as this will be Easier for us all. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email my contact details. At this point in time I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any fear as all required arrangements has been put in place. For the avoidance of doubt I can send you my international passport if you want it and I expect that you will reciprocate the gesture by sending me yours too. Please get in touch with me by email to enable us discuss further. Kindly reply to my private mailbox: jmbolton1998(a)yahoo.co.uk Yours Truly, J. M. Bolton
