[opensuse] Spec'ing a 50 TB dedicated storage subsystem and room to grow?
by Greg Freemyer 22 Feb '19

22 Feb '19

All, I bought a used iSCSI based Drobo in 2016 with 50TB in it. It works great, but it isn't fast by today's standards. (100 MB/sec absolute max). And I never got it to work from openSUSE (Windows and Mac did work). I now need to buy something similar, but with fast I/O and Linux support: 10 Gbit Ethernet and fibre-channel may be my only options? Or are there point-to-point SAS external racks I should consider? Also, I will likely want to put a SSD based cache in the mix at some point. It could be integrated into the storage subsystem, or I could use something like bcache and have the SSD be in the server,. It just needs to be reliable and fast. Recommendations? (I'm thinking used and $10K at the high-end for the subsystem including PCIx cards and switches, if needed.) == details I need to buy a server with 50TB usable disk for a production environment. A high speed disk subsystem is critical. And the project may scale up over time. It doesn't need to be a fail-over cluster, just a single server. I'm looking at used equipment most likely. I was thinking one with 4 CPU sockets would let me start with 2 CPUs and then expand to 4 later on. Lots of RAM capacity would also be great. My first thought was to get a Dell R920 and throw a bunch of disks in it. https://goo.gl/images/x3Rfj2 24 disk slots! But then I looked at what size drives are available for those slots: 2.5 inch. I only see 2TB drives max. I'm hoping to use a Dell server because it's the preferred brand at my (new) job. Unless I'm missing something a standalone rack mount Dell won't work. So, now I'm looking at a used R820 most likely and some sort of disk subsystem to support it. I picked it because it is only a 5-year old design and it has 4 CPU sockets I can expand into as the server demand increases over time. Also 3TB max ram is way above what this will require, even long term. https://media.adn.de/media/DE/DocLib/Poweredge_Easy_Matrix.pdf A used, barebones R820 can be had for under $2K. Just add CPUs and ram. Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Can not send email using postfix on Bell, probably port 25 blocked.
by Carlos E. R. 14 Nov '18

14 Nov '18

Hi, I can no longer send email "normally", I get: status=deferred (connect to mail.gmx.es[212.227.17.174]:25: Connection timed out) on all mail accounts. My guess that suddenly Bell figured out it should block me or port 25 outgoing. Stupid! :-( So I told Thunderbird to send without using postfix, and that apparently works (if you see this, it works), but I want to keep using postfix. TH is using port 465, SSL/TLS, and password. So, in "/etc/postfix/sender_relayhost" I change this entry: robin.listas(a)gmx.es [mail.gmx.es] to this: robin.listas(a)gmx.es [mail.gmx.es]:submission And then I get this on the log: #<2.6> 2018-09-19 19:55:09 Legolas postfix 2044 - - SMTPS wrappermode (TCP port 465) requires setting "smtp_tls_wrappermode = yes", and "smtp_tls_security_level = encrypt" (or stronger) So I do what it says, then I get this on the log: <2.6> 2018-09-19 20:21:50 Legolas postfix 4065 - - C9A36E309E: to=<opensuse(a)opensuse.org>, relay=mail.gmx.es[212.227.17.174]:587, delay=13119, delays=13118/0.5/0.47/0, dsn=4.7.5, status=deferred (Cannot start TLS: handshake failure) <2.6> 2018-09-19 20:21:50 Legolas postfix 4068 - - SSL_connect error to mail.gmx.es[212.227.17.184]:587: -1 <2.4> 2018-09-19 20:21:50 Legolas postfix 4068 - - warning: TLS library problem: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number:ssl/record/ssl3_record.c:252: <2.6> 2018-09-19 20:21:50 Legolas postfix 4068 - - 8AEF1E309F: to=<opensuse(a)opensuse.org>, relay=mail.gmx.es[212.227.17.184]:587, delay=12654, delays=12653/0.7/0.45/0, dsn=4.7.5, status=deferred (Cannot start TLS: handshake failure) So what can I do? it seems a bug in a library, right? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

[opensuse] No keyboard backlight since 4.18.x kernels
by Albert Oszkó 09 Nov '18

09 Nov '18

Hi all, My problem is in the subject. I even cannot find anymore where ccould I set it. I have two ASUS laptops, from the K501U series, but they are non identical. Keyboard backlight is lost on both of them. The last 4.17.x kernel had/has keyboard light. I waited for updates but with the coming of 4.18.6 kernel the lights are still lost. Albert

[opensuse] help for downloading xpi from addons.mozilla.org site
by Istvan Gabor 30 Oct '18

30 Oct '18

Hello: I would like to download (not to install) screengrab xpi with seamonkey web browser because I want to have the xpi file with its original name locally. When I visit the download page https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/screengrab-fix-version/versi… with my seamonkey web browser I cannot find any download link to the xpi files. I see only big green buttons with the message "Only with Firefox — Get Firefox Now!", and these buttons direct me to firefox download page. What I want is to save the xpi for later use. Why doesn't the addons page allow the download of the xpi files with different browsers? How can I find out the xpi download links?

Hi all, I am looking to remove owncloud (as I do not actually use it apart from calendars and contacts). What is a good CalDAV / CardDAV server? My main requirement is the ability to share calendars between users. What suggestions are there?

[opensuse] Claws-Mail crash when using ProtonMail bridge
by Bob Williams 10 Oct '18

10 Oct '18

My MUA is Claws-Mail 3.17.1 from build.opensuse.org/server:mail running on Leap 15 and KDE plasma. I am testing ProtonMail Bridge, and find that CM segfaults when trying to switch folders in my ProtonMail account. The folk at claws-Mail think it's the openSUSE version of libetpan (1.8-lp150.1.2) being out-of-date, and that newer releases have this bug fixed. See this bug report: http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4016 Whom should I contact about this? Regards Bob -- Bob Williams System: Linux 4.18.5-1.g9e91e29-default Distro: Desktop: KDE Frameworks: 5.45.0, Qt: 5.9.4 and Plasma: 5.12.5

[opensuse] How to get eth0 up early in boot process
by don fisher 07 Oct '18

07 Oct '18

I am trying to use netconsole to examine some problems I am having booting certain laptops. I am running opensuse 42.3 with generic 4.18.7 kernel configured to include netconsole. After building my kernel and including the proper command (as shown below) in the linux boot string: netconsole=64001@192.168.7.60/eth0,64001@192.168.7.55/34:e6:d7:01:2a:dd I receive the following error message as shown by journalctl: sudo journalctl -b | grep netconsole Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 kernel: netpoll: netconsole: local port 64001 Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 kernel: netpoll: netconsole: local IPv4 address 192.168.7.60 Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 kernel: netpoll: netconsole: interface 'eth0' Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 kernel: netpoll: netconsole: remote port 64001 Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 kernel: netpoll: netconsole: remote IPv4 address 192.168.7.55 Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 kernel: netpoll: netconsole: remote ethernet address 34:e6:d7:01:2a:dd Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 kernel: netpoll: netconsole: eth0 doesn't exist, aborting Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 kernel: netconsole: cleaning up Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 systemd-modules-load[185]: Module 'netconsole' is builtin From Google(netpoll is intended for monitoring multiple file descriptors to see if I/O is possible on any of them. It supports edge-triggered and level-triggered interfaces.) I looked at dmesg and netconsole is trying eth0: at 2.348515 sec after boot. The first other mention I see of eth0: is at 9.739663 sec. The message is: [ 9.739663] alx 0000:3c:00.0 eth0: Qualcomm Atheros AR816x/AR817x Ethernet [a4:4c:c8:5e:e0:12] which I assume is just recognition if loading the driver. From sudo journalctl -b | grep eth0: Sep 24 22:02:01 dfpc60 wicked[942]: eth0 up Wicked seems to appear about half a second after netconsole looks for eth0: Is there something I can do in systemd, the eth0: configuration, or elsewhere to get wicked to load eth0 earlier? I was a little surprised that netconsole did not go back and try again a little later.
