zfs destroy

Leave a Comment / ZFS / By /

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

How much are those volumes in the library?

Leave a Comment / Bacula, Open Source, PostgreSQL / By /

I pretty much ignore my tape library. It asks for tapes when it runs out. However, I think I should be looking ahead and anticipating requests. Thus, I came up with this SQL query: [dan@ngaio:~] $ psql bacula psql (8.4.5) Type “help” for help. bacula=# SELECT mediaid, volumename, volstatus, slot, inchanger, pool.name, volbytes FROM media, pool WHERE media.poolid = pool.poolid AND volumename LIKE ‘ETU0%’ AND inchanger != 0 ORDER BY slot; mediaid |

ntp wasn’t running but Nagios didn’t notice

3 Comments / Nagios, Network monitoring / By /

Earlier today, I noticed the following output from a Bacula job: 24-Sep 14:14 bacula-dir JobId 38548: Start Backup JobId 38548, Job=latens_home.2010-09-24_14.12.38_31 24-Sep 14:14 bacula-dir JobId 38548: Using Device “MegaFile-latens” 24-Sep 14:09 latens-fd JobId 38548: DIR and FD clocks differ by -307 seconds, FD automatically compensating. That’s 5 minutes. It shouldn’t be varying by that much. So I started ntp. That’s when I noticed it was not being started by /etc/rc.conf. But I thought

Why no Drobo? Or SmartStor?

Leave a Comment / hardware / By / /

People have asked me why I’m creating what amounts to a NAS. Why don’t I use Drobo or SmartStor for example? The above don’t have ZFS, which is the best solution for redundant storage. I can’t install Bacula on those systems. Sure, Bacula could run on another system and access that storage, but being directly on the system has advantages. Or why don’t you use FreeNAS for example? You’d be running FreeBSD! FreeNAS,

I have about 14,000 data points collected from backups. I started in Oct 2007, but have not done anything with the data. I’d like your help. I have put the data into a PostgreSQL database and dumped it. The dump is here: http://langille.org/tmp/dlt_stats.sql.gz The table looks like: $ psql dan psql (8.4.2) Type “help” for help. dan=# \d dlt_stats Table “public.dlt_stats” Column | Type | Modifiers ————-+—————————–+——————————————————– id | integer | not null

mtx-changer script catches me

Leave a Comment / Bacula, Open Source / By /

NOTE: this problem may not be a problem. After rebooting the system while having the tape library powered up, the problem went away. This may or may not be coincident. Note to self: mtx-changer needs more customization than I thought. Today showed great progress in completing the integration of my tape library into my Bacula system. I have been writing the testing and configuration of supporting tools. I had moved onto a new
