No HW Raid - FreeBSD Gmirror (soft-raid1) As Best Practice For Data Integrity?

Jul 30, 2006

Dedicated server has 2 HDD but I am not going to pay another $25/month for the hardware RAID solution (already stretched too far).

My plan is to install FreeBSD 6 and use Gmirror to establish a raid-1 "soft" mirror.

Advantages: Entire drive is mirrored including the OS. Drives can be remotely inserted or removed from the mirror set using a console command so its possible to uncouple the mirror and perform software updates on a single drive then re-establish the mirror only after the updates have proved successful.

Disadvantages: Lower I/O than hardware solution (not a problem for me) others???

I rarely see people consider software raid for a tight-budget server and I am wondering why? Could it be that other OS's dont have a solution as good as gmirror? Or is it just that crappy soft-raid in the past has left a bitter taste in admins mouths? Or perhaps admins need the extra I/O of hardware?

RAID1

Mar 11, 2007

I never use RAID1, but consider to use RAID1 server.

Let's say one hard drive failed and the DC replaced it with the new one, I was wondering if the system will automatically copy the data into the new drive or we should do some commands to copy the data into the new drive?

Performance Of 2 X 1TB RAID1

Feb 7, 2009

I have to leave the Supermicro servers and use only Dell. I have this question.

There is a big difference in performance between these two RAID configurations?

Dell - 2 x 1TB RAID1 PERC6

Supermicro - 4 x 500GB RAID10 3ware 4 port

It is for use with webhosting.

Raid1 Partition

May 26, 2008

If this is not in the right forum for this... I'm sorry didnt knew where else it may go.

I have to build a new server with RAID 1 and WHM/Cpanel installed (in fact i dont have to, but i need to learn ASAP and my boss gave me an old server for practice).

I've seen the installation guide of cpanel but the sizes of the partitions apply to a disk of 80 GB (i think so) so is there any way to calculate the size of the partitions, regardless of disk size? cuz mine are of 250 gb each.

I'm trying to install it on centos 5 on text mode, so far i have been able to successfully install the system (with partitions of any size... since is a test doesnt matter) with RAID 1.

After that i ran cat /proc/mdstat and in some partitions shows me this

Rsync=Delayed

I've read in some places that this is not a big issue... but in other places says it is... maybe i did something wrong

FreeBSD Security

Apr 9, 2009

I haven't really messed with FreeBSD very much, but I'm picking up a FreeBSD server and needed to know of a good free firewall for it.

On my CentOS/Debian servers I use CSF and have had good luck with it, so I would like something like that if there is one out there.

CentOS Or FreeBSD

Apr 8, 2008

We are basically looking for advice on which OS to choose. CentOS appeals as it is basically RHEL - and since people are paying for that they must be doing something right. It is apparently uber stable because the versions have been tested to death... but because the packages are so out of date, or just not there, we will need to install many things from source, which defeats the point to using it for its stability.

FreeBSD seems to have an awful lot of up to date packages, took a look at it on Distrowatch and was very impressed by many are the latest versions. This would make life so much easier because the package manager can handle installs and updates, really can't be bothered with messing around compiling software for install/updates.

In my mind, if an open source project as mature as the likes of Apache, PHP or MySQL, I am pretty sure you are very unlikely to experience problems by using the latest stable version. Surely by using older versions you are more likely to experience problems as of the result of bugs/security exploits that have only been fixed in the more recent releases.

Would you use FreeBSD or CentOS/RHEL? Or are both equally as good?

FreeBSD Top States

Feb 11, 2007

I've been using FreeBSD for a while now, but I still feel like a novice when looking at top because I don't understand or know what all of the STATES mean. I know that many of them represent different kernal states and certain programs have their own unique STATES, but what do the usuals mean? man top only has 2-3 listed with very vague descriptions.

Does anyone here understand many of them? If so it would be greatly appreciated if you could write up a few of the basic ones.

select
nanslp
kserel
RUN
pause
lockf
kqread
sbwait
pipered

Those are the ones I currently see in top. I know there are probably thosands of others, but those are the ones I usally look at.

FreeBSD & FFMPEG

Mar 15, 2007

after many painstaking hours, im at a loss as to where to go now (finally managed to get up to the point of running phpize in the ffmpeg directory)

...

Originally I thought i had compiled it in when compiling PHP,

Infact:

Code:
'./configure' '--disable-debug' '--disable-rpath' '--with-bz2' '--with-curl' '--with-gd' '--with-openssl' '--with-png' '--with-zlib' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-mysql' '--with-pear' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-sockets' '--with-ffmpeg=yes' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/sbin/apxs'
But when i go to the tests/ffmpeg_test.php file I get:

Code:
Warning: dl() [function.dl]: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so' - Cannot open "/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so" in /usr/local/www/apache22/data/tests/test_ffmpeg.php on line 17
Can't load extension /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so
I used the ports tree to install FFMPEG and here is the version info:

Code:
bsd# ffmpeg -v
ffmpeg version 0.4.9-pre1, build 4718, Copyright (c) 2000-2004 Fabrice Bellard
built on Mar 14 2007 20:42:22, gcc: 3.4.6 [FreeBSD] 20060305
After finally getting to this point, i say the heck with it and just decide to try and use phpize and compile it in that way as an extension ( following: http://ffmpeg-php.sourceforge.net/ ).

However, after I got phpize to work ( had to cp autoconf259 and autoheader259 to autoconf and autoheader since it was complaining about it ), it gave me this set of errors:

Code:

/usr/local/include/ffmpeg/avformat.h:49: warning: integer constant is too large for "long" type
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php-0.5.0.

After I get all this working and install it on a another machine I plan on writing a guide for FreeBSD users inside the tutorials section - but this one part has stumped me.

The only thing I can think of is something along the lines of maybe i downloaded a 64 bit version of something along the way?

Should i continue along this route with phpize adding it as an extension, or does someone else have some information on that ffmpeg_test.php file?

Crontab + Php In Freebsd 6.1

Feb 5, 2007

i created a new cron job with "crontab -e" command by using the "root" user.

* * * * * php -f /path/file.php

i tried it for php -q too. while i type this command on the shell the php file works. there is no problem with crontab rule too. the chmod of file.php is 777, user root group wheel..

but it cant work. i couldnt understand why it aint.

i created a shell file and changed the cron like:

* * * * * /path/file.sh

and in file.sh:

#!/bin/sh
php -q /path/file.php
mkdir /path/anydir

so, /path/anydir have been created but file.php not executed. so the problem is not about cron rule.
