What’s using up /usr?

1 Comment / File Systems / By /

It seems the /usr partition on my dev box is filling up. But I’m not sure what is eating up the space. So let’s take a snapshot of the space and compare it later. [dan@ngaio:/usr] $ sudo du -c -d 1 . Password: 4 ./.snap 62760 ./bin 37520 ./include 93068 ./lib 184 ./libdata 35384 ./libexec 75109696 ./local 37708 ./sbin 102480 ./share 1103840 ./src 250268 ./compat 376 ./games 4 ./obj 71082728 ./home 3584112 ./ports

jail: execv: /bin/sh: No such file or directory

2 Comments / BSDCan, FreeBSD, Open Source, The FreeBSD Diary / By /

Recently, I was moving some jails from one server to another. First, I created the jail using the -x switch, which indicates the jail already exists, don’t create it, just add entries for it: # ezjail-admin create -f bacula -x mysql41.example.org 10.35.0.100 Warning: Some services already seem to be listening on IP 10.35.0.100 This may cause some confusion, here they are: root ntpd 63822 25 udp4 10.35.0.100:123 *:* Warning: Some services already seem

When is a cleaning tape needed?

1 Comment / Backups / By /

As part of my magical Bacula website, I wanted to know when my tape drive required a cleaning tape. It appears that smartctl will reveal this information: [dan@kraken:/usr/home/dan] $ sudo /usr/local/sbin/in/smartctl -d scsi -x /dev/nsa0 Password: smartctl 5.39.1 2010-01-28 r3054 [FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE amd64] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-10 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net Device: DEC TZ89 (C) DEC Version: 2561 Serial number: CXA02S1766 Device type: tape Local Time is: Tue Jun 21 00:22:26 2011

ZFS details – just in case

Leave a Comment / FreeBSD, Open Source, ZFS / By /

I use a ZFS array for backups. The data is first copied to this array, and later copied to tape. This post contains some information which might be useful should I need to replace one of the drives in the array. We have 10 HDD in this system. Two are used in a gmirror for the base OS: ada8 ada9 Seven are active in an array: ada0 ada2 ada3 ada4 ada5 ada6 ada07

Differential backup didn’t use scratch pool

Leave a Comment / PostgreSQL / By /

Today is the first Sunday since I started using a scratch pool with Bacula. I was disappointed to see an email asking for a tape to be mounted. Why? With four tapes in the scratch pool, I shouldn’t be asked for a tape. Something is wrong. But there is no directive on a pool to say use the scratch pool. Bacula just uses the scratch pool if one is defined. However, I checked

Copying to tape, missed something….

2 Comments / Bacula / By / /

I recently wrote about copying jobs with a very good backup tool. My goal was to keep copies of the backups on both disk and tape. Since then, I started playing around with a little webpage to keep tabs on what’s in my tape libary. Today I noticed a little problem. I have backups from 75 days ago that are waiting to be copied to tape.

I’ll just let you think about why this happened. Yesterday, this queue held jobs that were about 16 hours old. How did this old job get into the queue?

zfs destroy

Here I go, removing an old ZFS dataset that is no longer required. But first, some stats (which have been edited to remove non-zfs output): [dan@kraken:~] $ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on storage 1.4T 15G 1.4T 1% /storage storage/bacula.DO.NOT.USE 5.8T 4.4T 1.4T 76% /storage/bacula.DO.NOT.USE storage/compressed 1.4T 49K 1.4T 0% /storage/compressed storage/compressed/bacula 4.4T 3.0T 1.4T 68% /storage/compressed/bacula storage/compressed/home 1.4T 2.7G 1.4T 0% /storage/compressed/home storage/pgsql 1.4T 5.5G 1.4T 0% /storage/pgsql And

How much are those volumes in the library? (redone)

Leave a Comment / Bacula / By /

I have an improvement on the original query. This one outputs ‘nil’ if the volume is empty. bacula=# SELECT mediaid, volumename, volstatus, slot, inchanger, pool.name, CASE WHEN volbytes < = 64512 THEN 'nil' else pg_size_pretty(volbytes) END FROM media, pool WHERE media.poolid = pool.poolid AND volumename LIKE 'ETU0%' AND inchanger != 0 ORDER BY slot; mediaid | volumename | volstatus | slot | inchanger | name | pg_size_pretty ---------+------------+-----------+------+-----------+---------------+---------------- 1328 | ETU021 | Append
