by Keith Jacobs 25 Sep '21

25 Sep '21

We have an winNT server and need to auto mount a shared folder as if it were a windose mapped drive Z: on SuSE8 Could someone please explain how to do this and how to make sure it is set-up for every user everytime the system is booted. Thanks Regards Keith Jacobs New to Linux

[opensuse] Raid, Raid6, what file system for good fault tolerance?
by cagsm 21 Dec '20

21 Dec '20

Hi list, speaking about software raid, not hardware controller based. I am trying to go for some local OpenSuse machine and adding some storage to it. Was considering Raid6, and now reading about a bit and people left and right scaremongering about the larger the disks these days in the double digit terabyte capacities even, the more likely it is that during a reconstruction of a raid subsequent errors would occur. I would absolutely like to keep my data consistent, and I am not thinking about double digit terabytes either, would stick to 2TB or 4TB disks, with Raid6 thats at least 4 physical drives. Now I am wondering if it possible to use a good robust file system that can add some more parity or check blocks or redundancy on top of the hardware disks, to absolutely be able to always read my data. I can't add multiple machines or like those high availability stuff like clusters and what not I read about DRBD (Distributed Replicated Block Device), or maybe I am just too scared by those technical terms or consider myself to be just a simpleton and wanting to keep it rather simple. My use case here is also not constant availablity, when a disk needs to be replaced, so be it, but I don't want to lose my data that I can not ever read certain parts of it again or such stuff. The thing that came to my mind was, if there is some file systems that would add redundancy and robustness onto the mdraid system of the linux kernel? Anyone with some useful insights? Roughly speaking, I was considering some simple pcie esata interfaced controller card and an external case enclosure with esata port and portmulitplier stuff inside, that can present at least 4 physical disks as JBOD, just a bunch of disks, so that the Linux can seem them all separately. Speed and rebuild times are not my concern, but data persistence and data integrity. Not even number of physical disks, I could live with even one of those 8 bay device enclosures and cases that are out there on the market. Thanks for any help and hints. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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] CIFS and missing files in directory listing
by Roger Oberholtzer 25 Jan '19

25 Jan '19

I have mounted a Windows 10 share on openSUSE 42.3. On the Linux side, all existing files are not shown. They exist on the Windows server, but they are not seen on the Linux side. They are accessible. But they do not show up in a directory listing. There is a description of what I think is going on here: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-cifs/msg14405.html I realize that 42.3 is long in the tooth. But I have no choice but to use it in the system of interest. Anyone know if this has been fixed in openSUSE?

[opensuse] chrome options?
by George from the tribe 31 Dec '18

31 Dec '18

I am working on setting up a new API in python, and part of getting it set up is that I need to authenticate using chrome and selenium. Here is a section of the authentication program that I am running into a headache with: options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() options.binary_location = "/Applications/Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome" chrome_driver_binary = "/usr/lib64/chromium/chromedriver" driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_driver_binary, chrome_options=options) This was originally written for a Mac OS, so I had to change the directory for the chromedriver binary to the correct location on my machine. However, I don't really know what to put for the equivalent of where to look for chrome options. Having never used selenium before or what it is really all about, I don't even really know what chrome options are, and I am hoping this is just a minor point to get past the authentication portion of the api. I don't plan on using selenium for any further development of the api, but it seems that I have to for this small portion of what I am working on. Anyone have an idea of what I need to do about setting the location for Chrome options here in openSUSE tumbleweed? -- George Box: 42.3 | Plasma 5 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: TW | Plasma 5 | AMD FX 7TH GEN | 64 | 32GB Laptop #2: TW | Plasma 5 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
