After rebooting kraken to take a photo, I found nagios was displaying an error for my smartmon checks: NRPE: Unable to read output.
Running the command by hand on the nagios server, I found:
$ /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_nrpe2 -H kraken -c check_smartmon_ad24
NRPE: Unable to read output
But from the remote server I got:
# /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_smartmon -d /dev/ad24
OK: device is functional and stable (temperature: 29)
I restarted npre and the problem went away… not sure what this is yet….

The smartmon bug I mentioned a few days ago has a patch. It was submitted 24 Jan 2010 but was closed after the maintainer said he would release a new distfile soon.
It hasn’t arrived. I sent him and email tonight as a follow up the PR.
In the meantime, I’ve applied the patch to my own syst

NewEgg has received and processed my returned purchases. I’m impressed. I mailed them on Thursday (I think) and here it is, Wednesday. I should expect to see the refunds on my credit card within 2-3 days.

I do like CoolDrives.com.
I was shown this quick swap drive tray and started hunting around. This spare parts page is interesting and reminds me that I want to buy different cables for the file server.
Also neat are these hard drive cases for when your HDD is not in use.

The smartmontools package contains two utility programs (smartctl and smartd) to control and monitor storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System (SMART) built into most modern ATA and SCSI harddisks. In many cases, these utilities will provide advanced warning of disk degradation and failure. (The above shamelessly taken from the supplied URL).
I just installed it:
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/smartmontools/ && make install clean
Then I set up the configuration file, with default values:
cp -i /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf.sample /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf
And for smartd to run at boot:
echo 'smartd_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
And started smartd:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/smartd start
Then I added this to /etc/periodic.conf to add drive health information to my daily status reports:
daily_status_smart_devices="/dev/ad8 /dev/ad10 /dev/ad12 /dev/ad14 /dev/ad16 /dev/ad24"
I also added a Nagios plugin for interfacing with SMART:
cd /usr/ports/net-mgmt/nagios-check_smartmon/ && make install clean
But there is a problem with this tool:
[root@kraken /usr/local/libexec/nagios]# ./check_smartmon -d /dev/ad8
./check_smartmon:114: DeprecationWarning: os.popen3 is deprecated. Use the subprocess module.
(child_stdin, child_stdout, child_stderr) = os.popen3(cmd)
./check_smartmon:127: DeprecationWarning: os.popen3 is deprecated. Use the subprocess module.
(child_stdin, child_stdout, child_stderr) = os.popen3(cmd)
OK: device is functional and stable (temperature: 33)
The last line of the output is appropriate. The preamble is not. This won’t work with Nagios until it is fixed.

I thought I’d run some simple tests, based on a tuning thread I found:

1024+0 records out
1073741824 bytes transferred in 14.283206 secs (75175127 bytes/sec)

Tonight’s goals:
- Install a second HDD
- get gmirror running
- install the remaining 5×2TB HDD
- add the two RAID cards
After adding in the second HDD for the OS, dmesg shows this:
ad4: 76319MB <seagate ST380815AS 4.AAB> at ata2-master UDMA100 SATA 3Gb/s
acd0: DVDR <tsstcorp CDDVDW SH-S223C/SB01> at ata3-master UDMA100 SATA 1.5Gb/s
ad8: 152587MB <wdc WD1600AAJS-75M0A0 02.03E02> at ata4-master UDMA100 SATA 3Gb/s
The following shows me I’m booting from ad4, so ad8 must be my newly added HDD.
$ cat /etc/fstab
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#
/dev/ad4s1b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/ad4s1a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/ad4s1e /tmp ufs rw 2 2
/dev/ad4s1f /usr ufs rw 2 2
/dev/ad4s1d /var ufs rw 2 2
/dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
Clearly, I want to mirror from ad4 to ad8.
Reading my previous work on gmirror, I found I had to do this:
# gmirror label -v -b round-robin gm0 /dev/ad4
gmirror: Can't store metadata on /dev/ad4: Operation not permitted.
Oops. I need to be running from my DVD and with FIXIT (read the above URL for details).
After following the instructions properly, and rebooting, I found this:
# mount
/dev/mirror/gm0s1a on / (ufs, local, soft-updates)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local, multilabel)
/dev/mirror/gm0s1e on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/mirror/gm0s1f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/mirror/gm0s1d on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
Then I added the extra HDD into the mirror:
gmirror insert gm0 /dev/ad8
The status is:
# gmirror list

I waited until it was 100%, then powered down and added in the remaining hardware.
After installing the 5 2TB drives and rebooting, dmesg showed me:
ad8: 1907729MB <Hitachi HDS722020ALA330 JKAOA28A> at ata4-master UDMA100 SATA 3Gb/s

Interesting… with gmirror, even though the HDD changed device numbers, it still booted correctly. I am impressed. This shows the new device numbers:

At this point, I checked my power consumption. It was 147W.
To enable and then start ZFS:
# echo 'zfs_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
# /etc/rc.d/zfs start
Which produced these log entries:
Mar 5 21:43:12 kraken kernel: ZFS NOTICE: Prefetch is disabled by default if less than 4GB of RAM is present;
Mar 5 21:43:12 kraken kernel: to enable, add "vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable=0" to /boot/loader.conf.
Mar 5 21:43:12 kraken kernel: ZFS filesystem version 3
Mar 5 21:43:12 kraken kernel: ZFS storage pool version 14
I find the Prefetch message interesting. I have 4GB of RAM.
To create a ZFS raidz array with parity 1:
# zpool create storage raidz1 ad8 ad10 ad12 ad14 ad16
Note the new mount point:
# mount
/dev/mirror/gm0s1a on / (ufs, local, soft-updates)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local, multilabel)
/dev/mirror/gm0s1e on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/mirror/gm0s1f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/mirror/gm0s1d on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
storage on /storage (zfs, local)
And the space:
# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/mirror/gm0s1a 1012974 506268 425670 54% /
devfs 1 1 0 100% /dev

storage 7651768192 0 7651768192 0% /storage
To add daily status messages:
echo 'daily_status_zfs_enable="YES"' >> /etc/periodic.conf
To see a list:
# zfs list
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
storage 98.3K 7.13T 28.8K /storage
And the history:
# zpool history
History for 'storage':
2010-03-05.21:51:07 zpool create storage raidz1 ad8 ad10 ad12 ad14 ad16
And this is interesteing to hear, if only on an empty system:
zpool scrub storage
Status:
$ zpool status storage
pool: storage

scrub: scrub completed after 0h0m with 0 errors on Fri Mar 5 22:01:35 2010

Even more information:
$ zpool get all storage

storage version 14 default
storage bootfs - default
storage delegation on default
storage autoreplace off default
storage cachefile - default
storage failmode wait default
storage listsnapshots off default
I must say, it was a bit of a non-event. It look more time to install the HDD than it did to configure ZFS.
Just the way it should be, if you ask me.

The PGCon 2010 Schedule is now available:
For the fourth year in a row, PGCon continues to be the conference for the worldwide PostgreSQL community. If you want to advance your knowledge of PostgreSQL internals, scale your database application, contribute to the project, or just rub elbows with the core team, major contributors, and committers from around the world, PGCon is the place to be.
PGCon 2010 will be held on 20-21 May 2010 at University of Ottawa, with two days of Tutorials on 18-19 May 2010.
http://www.pgcon.org/2010/schedule/
You can read the official announcement here.
We received a huge increase in submissions this year. We were close to adding a third day of talks, and considered it at length, but decided to retain the originally announced format. Why? We announced the dates and times for PGCon nearly 10 months ago. People have made plans, arranged travel, booked hotels. We didn’t want to disrupt those plans. To date, we’ve had attendees from over 50 different countries. People come from all over the world, including:
- Australia
- Belguim
- Brazil
- Croatia
- Ireland
- Italy
- India
- Japan
- Mexico
- Germany
- Korea
- Netherlands
- New Zealand
- Norway
- China
- South Africa
- Russia
- Sweden
- Switzerland
- USA
For what it’s worth, we get nearly as many people from USA as from Canada. Clearly, PGCon is worth the trip to many people
Without doubt, we had enough high-caliber talks to support a third day. To those speakers, we apologize and encourage you to submit again for 2011.
The PGCon 2010 schedule program includes:
- Keynote by Gavin Roy, CTO of MyYearbook.com, top-10 social networking
site and PostgreSQL user
- Extensive implementation and how-to information about 9.0 features
- Internals talks by major contributors and authors of 9.0 features
- Case studies of large PostgreSQL installations from Brazil, France and the United States
- Replication and clustering projects, including the launch of Postgres-2

Tonight I put together some of the system. The motherboard, CPU, RAM, and PSU have been installed. The system POSTs, but nothing else. Next step: add a couple of HDD and then install FreeBSD 8.
