windows / samba issue?
posted by Greg Whynott on Dec. 5, 2013, 5:40 p.m. (6 days ago)
ran into a situation which i'm trying to wrap my head around. hopefully someone has seen this before.



our file servers have areas exported via CIFS and NFS from both Blue Arc's and Nexenta's.


a typical export would look as such:

/share1 which would be the Q network drive on windows, and /mnt/Q on unix.

share1 has the a few directories in it, and sub dirs. so:

share1/folder1/subfolder1


if we cd into /mnt/Q and type: ls we see:

folder1

if we create a softlink at this level pointing to a directory at the same level, such as:

ln -s folder1 foobar

ls

folder1
foobar

all is good. now lets jump onto a windows machine and navigate to the Q: network drive (no dfs).

we are now at Q:

dir

folder1
foobar



'dir folder1' returns expected results, as does 'dir foobar'
'cd folder1' and 'cd foobar' work as expected.


ok all is good up to this point.


now if we create a sym link beyond the 'folder1' level, we run into issues:

back on unix at the base level we type:

ln -s folder1/subfoler1 barfoo

test it from unix, works as expected for both ls and cd.

back on windows at the base of Q::

dir
folder1
foobar
barfoo


ls barfoo

we see subfolder1 get listed, as expected.


cd barfoo

returns an error: The system cannot find the path specified.


all the folders and sub folders are on the same file system, no dfs or submounts. It can list the contents of the directory but can not cd into it....


This works on Blue Arc but it fails as described above on any shares on the Nexenta system.

Any clues to offer?

have packet traces should you care to see.

CreativityReactor - Looking for Testers
posted by John Hickson on Dec. 6, 2013, 7:59 a.m. (5 days ago)

All,

CreativityReactor is a new website that will be launching in January by StudioSysAdmins.

This second site is for the artists - Site looks the same (besides the colours) and shares the same database, so users can login to either site with the same profile (for that wish to do so). However, certain content of the site will only show up on one or the other (example Board Threads).

You now have the option in your profile to select which site is your default site: StudioSysAdmins, CreativityReactor or Both.

Special Note for Recruiters...

When posting jobs, you can select which site(s) the jobs will be posted on. Make sure you select the correct site you wish to have your jobs shown.

When posting jobs, you can login to either site - the choice is made at the posting.

 

Currently, there are no members (besided me) flagged to be on the new site, It would be great if you could ask a few of your artist friends or recruiters to start posting jobs to help me debug the site as well as give some feedback for any changes that should be made before the official launch in January.

MDC, SAN, iSCSI on Mac OS X solution Help
posted by Joseph Pagano on Dec. 7, 2013, 3:17 p.m. (4 days ago)

Hey All,

I work for a shop that is not primarily a high end video editing company but we do have a video department.

We are trying to get a solution for them.

We have 2 Mac OS X clients using a small tree Gigabit cards to connect over iSCSI to a Dell Equallogic 63 TB SAN. We were using SANMP for volume locking software to avoid corruption. We want to go in a different direction now.

Now, we want to present the SAN volumes to both editors and have them both write at the same time with a file locking system SAN.

I am looking at the following solution:

Connect 2 Macs over iSCSI with ATTO iSCSI initiator's and XSAN to the Dell equallogic SAN through one-single Quantum StorNext Metadata controller installed on a Dell PowerEdge server.

I am also considering ruling out the Stornext completely and using XSAN on a Mac OS X server as an MDC.

All solutions will include a dedicated switch for iSCSI traffic segregated through a VLAN.

How does everyone feel about having no redundancy on a MDC solution? What about support? Can we set this up and then let it go or does it require a large amount of support time?

Any ideas or opinions would be appreciated.

DIY NAS: WS 2008 r2?
posted by Alex Gerulaitis on Dec. 8, 2013, 5:45 p.m. (3 days ago)
Thoughts on MS WS 2008 r2 for a VFX NAS?

Here is the thread on Cow where someone (in Austria I think?) plans to build a DIY NAS with SuperMicro and Adaptec components, 8 spindles and four Samsung Evo SSDs (for caching), to serve five streams to 2K TGAs to about 6-8 Windows clients (AE, Nuke).

Based on their BOM, the budget seems to be around $7-10K. Personally I don't think 8 spindles will be enough, even with good caching, but ultimately I am wondering if using WS 2008 r2 is a good idea for the purpose (of maximizing performance and reliability per $).

Would appreciate your thoughts. Feel free to jump in the thread.

Also, is anyone on this list available to consult the OP (tell them what to get, no post-sale support included yet)? If so, what would you charge? They didn't ask for it yet - I just think they really need it, and I wanted to see if anyone here is available.

Thanks!

Samba4 AD master?

Forked from the DIY NAS discussion:

Has anyone succeeded in getting Samba4 to act as an AD master? If so, where'd you find the magic incantations? The Samba4 docs are just all over the place and the Samba4 gurus are so far down the road they've forgotten to document it for the mortals.

About SMB3, Samba 4 supports SMB3 both as client and server. And it's
a breeze to get joining an AD. Giving the past experience it'll
probably perform better than Windows 2012 too.

Red Hat must be loving life.

I've been getting email from them about a conference they are having in town here in a few months they would like to see me (and you) attend. Its about getting to know their 'software defined storage' solution.

the catch is they want you to pay them 100 dollars to attend. they want you to pay them to see what they are trying to sell you.

just want I want, to pay 100 dollars to sit in an hour long sales pitch session, which is 100% biased.

seems oddly strange. I seem to recall being offered incentives for enduring extended sales pitches. like a tshirt or a free hooker.

I was just contacted about a crashed server, running WinServer 2000 and SQL Server 2000. Having only built toy computers back then, I wouldn't even know where to start on recovering that database. Google has produced multiple solutions that all look (VERY) legitimate. It hasn't been backed up in years and the machine has had ZERO attention since then as well. My immediate thought was "that's what you get!" but nobody wants to hear that... Anyone know a guy/place that is versed in such things if the hardware failure cannot be resolved? They have the data(50gb) but nobody around there knows anything about the config that was deployed all those years ago. They are in Las Vegas, btw. -Anthony To unsubscribe from the list send a blank e-mail to mailto:studiosysadmins-discuss-request@studiosysadmins.com?subject=unsubscribe

Perfect opportunity to start with a nice, clean, lesser-destructible domain? 10+ y/o hardware is going to put up quite the fight... None of this helps, I don't really know any windows experts, but i'd suggest that it's likely to cost more to recover it (combine recovery with migration to new kit and downtime caused) than to build something brand new....

Upper and Lower case filenames in OSX 10.8.5
posted by Chris Hyman on Dec. 12, 2013, 10:20 a.m.
This is to do with NFS & finder (and other applications inc RV), and I am assuming that its a "value add" from Apple, however I am also hoping that someone has a fix for this. Mounts on the mac are via automounter NFS v3 to linux warp cluster. OSX version 10.8.5 If you have a lower case & upper case directories containing the same letters and numbers, you open up finder and look at the two directories (and you are quick) you will see at first a lower and upper case directory which will then change to a pair of upper case directories. IE: A1_01_66_130_BG a1_01_66_130_bg Will appear in finder as : A1_01_66_130_BG A1_01_66_130_BG What is even more enjoyable is that the folder which was lower case now has the contents of the upper case folder so you dont have any access to that lower case folder. We worked around it by a folder rename under terminal/command line, but is there a proper fix/setting??

Likewise, I received a call from someone in their telesales dept yesterday, inviting me to join the San Diego event. Technically, they are framing it as a hands-on event, which if that is the case, its probably worth the $$$. But its pretty difficult to beat the perception that its nothing more than a glorified sales event when it is being sponsored by Redhat themselves.

Personally, I dont think they are profiting from it, just trying to cover their costs. But if I had to bet, turnout will be low since is $100 admission price tag is not commensurate with the values of the Open Source/Free Software community (but must everything be free?). That said, if my boss was paying for it, and if it came down to a choice of spending a day at work or a gathering of my peers, I think I would chose the latter. I dont think I will be attending since they are holding the event in San Diego, which means a 2hr drive and probably hotel costs.

Ironically enough, we could use one of those as one of ours is showing signs of being 5+ years old ... much better pricing than the Middle Atlantic ones.
