[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? And if so, when and where? -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] displaymanager priority for plain tumbleweed - (was login screen changed after tumbleweed dup)
by Simon Becherer 03 Jan '19

03 Jan '19

Hi, 1) what is for a new plain tumbleweed the correct priority for the displaymanagers? with other words: what is the default displaymananger for opensuse-tumbleweed-kde 2) in what file is this stored? i have on some tumbleweed (only updated from tumbleweed to tumbleweed): yast-alternatives (never touched this settings any time before): default-displaymanager ............. (auto): select priority /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/console 5 /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/lightdm 35 ???????????? /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/ssdm 25 /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/xdm 10 and on the other tumbleweed (updated from older opensuse versions to tumbleweed): select priority /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/console 5 /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/kdm 15 /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/lightdm 15 /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/ssdm 25 /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/xdm 10 i would like to set it to the "standard" for plain tumbleweed, so would be nice to know what it is. simoN -- www.becherer.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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

[opensuse] Steam no longer working
by gumb 31 Dec '18

31 Dec '18

Problem with Steam on openSUSE 42.3, running with Plasma on an Intel NUC 5th generation with Intel HD Graphics 5500 (Broadwell GT2). This is the standard Steam package from the 42.3 OSS repo. Rather annoying occurrence on somebody else's machine. I bought them a game and installed Steam for the first time (not something I was ever familiar with before) when last visiting back in August. I'm there again now but only until tomorrow, probably many months until my next visit, and they've just told me that the game stopped working some time ago. I apply standard system updates via SSH but despite my pleas to always advise me as soon as there's any problem, they didn't, so I've no idea which of the hundreds of updates could have been responsible. When launching Steam, I get the initial window and splash with sound and animation, after which the message 'connecting to Steam account [username]'. And then nothing, it hangs. If I click somewhere in the window I get a sound effect but there's no visuals aside from the blue background. I need a quick fix as I only have a few hours before returning abroad. Any ideas? gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

"/usr/sbin/iotop -o -d 3.3333" shows: (takes minutes to start) Doesn't start, and ctrl-c hangs. I have no terminal left to see that is going on. I'll leave the machine running as is, waiting for ideas, what to check or do - if I get the prompt back. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

[opensuse] Mini-Kernel for KVM
by Thomas Wagner 25 Dec '18

25 Dec '18

Hello! I do KVM based virtualization and have a lot of openSUSE Leap guests. With every kernel update, every machine needs additional 300 MB from my thin-privodiond disk space. As far as I understand most of the required disk space is due to modules for different hardware. However, the KVM guest sees only virtualized hardware and there no need for all the kernel modules. Therefore, I was wondering if there is something like a mini-kernel-rpm available for Leap, which has only those modules included that are required for running inside KVM. best regards Thomas Wagner -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] kde partition maanger...what is aligned vs. not?

Was told kdepm might be an up-to-date replacement for system-config-lvm (not sure if suse carried it but was a gui for lvm management from redhat). But coming up kdepm gave me a bunch of warning involving my 3-disk SAS RAID5.

At the time tried for alignment, but now sure doesn't look like it. Oh well. Seems like it didn't recognize 4 or 10 -- 4 is the extended partition --odd that it wouldn't recognize that. Not sure why it would have a problem with sdc10's type. Also a bit odd that it tried to read SMART status from SAS disks and RAID controllers, though theoretically it could have red SMART status for the disks in sda+sdb as they are all SATA. Another thing I don't like is that I'm certain I saw linux recognize sdb as having 4k-physical (512B logical) (type 512e - 512 emulated). But I would like the kernel to know about it "again" so it would be more likely to flag a problem if things weren't on a 4k boundary. Anyone have any of those and had luck getting kernel to recognize the physical size? Anyone else use an LVM GUI ?
