seeking suggestion for file system ext3/xfs/reiserfs on 6/4TB disk arrays
by Arun Khan 15 Oct '09

15 Oct '09

If you have been managing Linux filesystems on large disk arrays, I would like to hear your experience/advice on what filesystem you have selected (ext3/xfs/reiserfs/jfs). My main concern with XFS is that fsck.xfs is basically a shell script that always returns success. The utility that does the real check, runs only in single user mode otherwise it complaints "out of memory" (4GB RAM with Dual Xeon 2.0Ghz CPUs). I tried it once on the 4TB fs. It ran for over the weekend and it was still running come Monday morning when I had kill the process and bring the file server back on line for end users. I would appreciate your personal experiences with any of the above fs on TB/PB scale. <background> I have under my administration a file server with two arrays 6TB and 4TB. The consultant prior to me had formatted both the arrays with XFS fs. The client was experiencing frequent disconnects between client stations and the file server - lately it could be resolved only with a system reboot and not just a restart of the NFS server. I tried NFS tuning (increase server threads, rsize, wsize etc.) on the server as well as the client but not much improvement. To resolve finger pointing between hardware and OS/software we asked the hardware vendor to re-certify all the components in the arrays as well as the header. In this process they have cleaned up both disk arrays and we have to start afresh. (I do have backups of the data in two places). </background> Thanks for your time and advice. Regards, -- Arun Khan

Hi, I maintain the blog http://fossjobs.wordpress.com After my college days, at 2004, I decided to work only with linux. I was digging newspapers, job sites and classified sites for linux related jobs. Atlast, got a job with linux. :-) Then started this blog so that no one should not get tired of searching FOSS related jobs. I hope this helps to job seekers in FOSS. :-) Thanks. -- Regards, T.Shrinivasan My experiences with Linux are here http://goinggnu.wordpress.com For Free and Open Source Jobs http://fossjobs.wordpress.com

@Kenneth Gonsalves and other FOSSCOMM members Will you people be arranging any meetup in this December or in June-July next year because I will be present in Mumbai at that time only (college holidays) ? And from where can I get details of what happened in the meet (wiki pages) or blog etc? Sorry for silly question, but I am still new here and finding out things....

free foss classifieds @ fossjobs
by Suhit Kelkar 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

Dear mental flossers, I'd written to you a while earlier with the suggestion to form an online classifieds forum for all things FLOSS. The offer still stands. The more the better. I've found a good website though, and it seems to have a lot of eyeballs, judging by the kind of displayed posts. http://fossjobs.wordpress.com/ It *seems* to be the first foss classifieds website from India. It's free. Job seekers may seek more details there. Disclaimer: I don't know the site maintainer and have no professional interest in this website whatsoever. Regards. <linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in>
