| 08:35 | <gbee> | if we wanted to use the proper logo, instead of just suggesting the approximate shape, then we apparently just need to ask |

| 12:55 | <gbee> | the original defaults were devised before we had widescreen themes and HD resolutions, so in many cases the images are now being scaled up instead of down, with the associated drop in quality |

| 15:24 | <cmoates> | So I found this bug in BackendQueryDiskSpace, and I wanted to try and provide a patch for it, but I'm not sure what a good approach would be to solve the problem. Am I in the right place to get some ideas, possibly? |
| 15:25 | <laga> | probably :) |
| 15:25 | <laga> | if you don't get an answer in here, try the mailing list |
| 15:25 | <cmoates> | It centers around the grouping of disks |
| 15:26 | <cmoates> | There's a little algo in there to try and determine if two "disks" are really the same, just mounted on different backends |
| 15:26 | <cmoates> | The problem is, I added two brand new identical (empty) disks to a backend, and it thinks they are the same |

| 15:26 | <cmoates> | Since their capacity and free space are the same |
| 15:26 | <cmoates> | As soon as I add files to one, and make them differ in free space, they split up properly |
| 15:27 | <cmoates> | So it's a race condition, but one that occurs upon setup, so I thought it was probably worth trying to fix |
| 15:27 | <cmoates> | The issue is that I'm having difficulty coming up with another "stat" to compare against, since things like mount point, UUID (not available on NFS mounts), and device name would vary on different backends |

| 18:30 | <cmoates> | rooaus, yeah, I just recently considered that |
| 18:30 | <cmoates> | But, I think the isLocal flag might actually work here |
| 18:30 | <cmoates> | Right now it compares free space and capacity |
| 18:31 | <cmoates> | But if two "disks" are both local, then they are very highly likely to be different, I'd think |
| 18:32 | <cmoates> | So if (space is same) and (capacity is same) and (disks are both local) then I can' think of anything (aside from the loop device) that would cause the same filesystem to show up like that |
| 18:32 | <cmoates> | maybe in a true clustered fs |

| 18:34 | <cmoates> | So then the only question is |
| 18:35 | <cmoates> | Is there a case where adding the "are both disks local?" test breaks some other aggregation that we wouldn't want |
| 18:35 | <cmoates> | I'm assuming SMB and NFS shares get that flag set to 0 |

| 19:21 | <Captain_Murdoch> | cmoates: is it really that big of a deal? As soon as you get anything on that drive then they separate out as normal. The problem is there isn't a single way to identify unique filesystems across local and remote. We could write out identifier files to directories, but that could make things worse. what if 2 directories are mounted off the same filesystem, in that case we'd assume that there was double the free space. That's t |
| 19:21 | <Captain_Murdoch> | ft it simple and only use the total and used space numbers in my comparisons currently. |

| 19:31 | <cmoates> | Well, yes |
| 19:31 | <cmoates> | Which is why the added check I suggested of "are both disks also local" might help |
| 19:31 | <cmoates> | While leaving the other comparisons alone |
| 19:32 | <cmoates> | However, I could see that intermittently disks could have the same amount of free space |
| 19:32 | <cmoates> | not just when they are initialized |

| 19:32 | <cmoates> | (by random chance) |
| 19:32 | <cmoates> | And is it a huge deal? No, which is why I wanted to submit a working patch as opposed to just a bug report :) |
| 19:33 | <Wickedboy> | did anyone in here ever try to run a backend in xen ? |
| 19:36 | <Captain_Murdoch> | Wickedboy: sounds like a -users question. :) |
| 19:37 | <Wickedboy> | okay, sorry :) |
| 19:37 | <Captain_Murdoch> | cmoates: I'm not understanding the "both are local" check. what's that buy you? |
| 19:38 | <cmoates> | Well, I'm making an assumption |
| 19:38 | <cmoates> | If you have your list of disks, and one was exported, so it's remote on on system, and local on the other, then it'd appear int he list twice, and would need to be deduplicated |
| 19:38 | <cmoates> | If two disks appear to have the same attributes, but both are local disk, then they shouldn't (can't?) be the same disk |
| 19:39 | <cmoates> | You might be able to pull some nasty trick using -o loop, or something |
| 19:39 | <Captain_Murdoch> | cmoates: they can be if you have 2 dirs on the same disk |
| 19:39 | <Captain_Murdoch> | some people use recording groups to separate out recordings into different directories on the same disk. |
| 19:40 | <cmoates> | Yeah, see, that's what I didn't consider :/ |
| 19:40 | <cmoates> | Which is why I asked earlier :) |
| 19:40 | <Captain_Murdoch> | ie, they have a "Simpsons" group where all Simpons recordings go into a subdir. |
| 19:40 | <cmoates> | Yeah, I understand what you're saying |
| 19:40 | <cmoates> | And you could potentially limit by storage group, but |
| 19:40 | <cmoates> | they could still make two dirs on one disk and place both dirs into the same storage group |
| 19:41 | <Captain_Murdoch> | :) no problem, just trying to see if there was a better way to do it. if you can think of anything, I'm open to changing it, but there were three of us looking that code over before it went into SVN and none of us could think of anything better so I put it in as-is. |
| 19:41 | <cmoates> | yeah |
| 19:41 | <cmoates> | I have thought about it all afternoon, and that's what I came up with, and I was worried I might have overlooked something |
| 19:41 | <cmoates> | If they are local, you could get the UUID of the device, I suppose |
| 19:42 | <cmoates> | That might introduce dependencies though |
| 19:42 | <Captain_Murdoch> | when we had only one dir per backend, we used a flag file in the directory and if a slave saw the file that the backend wrote, it knew the storage was shared. that is much more complicated when you have multiple dirs and multiple filesystems so I didn't even try to tackle that because the benefit was so low. |
| 19:42 | <cmoates> | right |
| 19:42 | <cmoates> | It came up for me because I have three disks which got grouped, and initially I suspected user error |
| 19:43 | <cmoates> | Since storage groups are new to me, and all |
| 19:43 | <Captain_Murdoch> | you could possibly check UUID if you put a "#ifdef __linux__" around it like I did with the remote vs local check since there are different if statements for Linux vs OSX. |
| 19:43 | <cmoates> | I noticed that |
| 19:43 | <cmoates> | But I also saw in the coding conventions that it's highly discouraged |
| 19:45 | <Captain_Murdoch> | yeah, we don't normally like different codepaths like that. I haven't tested it, but I wonder if it would still work if both of those checks were done under both systems. |
| 19:46 | <Captain_Murdoch> | probably should delete that FIXME there also since I think nigel or someone gave me the right strings for the CONFIG_DARWIN section. |

| 19:47 | <cmoates> | That FIXME made me smile, I'll have you know :) |
| 19:49 | <Captain_Murdoch> | lots of other things I wanted to do with Storage Groups, but the current code has been sufficing for my needs very nicely so I never got around to implementing the rest of my TODO. |
| 19:49 | <TelnetManta> | can anyone help me figure out why my mysql wont start all of a sudden? |
| 19:49 | <cmoates> | #mythtv-users would be the place for that, TelnetManta |
| 19:50 | <TelnetManta> | oh, opps. Thought I was there |
| 19:53 | <cmoates> | So, libblkid, which we'd need to calculate uuid's, is part of e2fsprogs |
| 19:53 | <cmoates> | would that constitute a "new dependency" for myth on linux? |
| 19:56 | <Captain_Murdoch> | is that info even available to non-root? |
| 19:56 | <cmoates> | good question |
| 19:57 | <cmoates> | It appears to be |
| 19:57 | <Captain_Murdoch> | fsid isn't filled in by statfs I believe, I looked into using that from what I remember. |
| 20:00 | <cmoates> | " Nobody knows what f_fsid is supposed to contain (but see below). |
| 20:00 | <cmoates> | " |
| 20:00 | <cmoates> | nice :) |
| 20:01 | <Captain_Murdoch> | there may be another way. you could stat the two dirs and check the st_dev fields in the stat structs to see if they match. |
| 20:04 | <Captain_Murdoch> | that's how df in busybox finds the filesystem that you're doing a df of if you give it a subdir name. |
| 20:05 | <cmoates> | That does appear to work |
| 20:05 | <cmoates> | I get three different st_dev's for the three devices |

| 20:07 | <Captain_Murdoch> | do you have any nfs mounts to test with? you could check to see if you get different st_dev values for multiple mounts of the same fs and/or if you get the same value for st_dev on multiple servers mounting the same remote fs. |

| 20:08 | <Captain_Murdoch> | not sure why I didn't think of that before. was sitting here and all the suddent it hit me that 'df' when run as non-root knows what filesystem I'm trying to look at so there had to be a way. :) |
| 20:08 | <Captain_Murdoch> | lightning: see /topic |
| 20:08 | <lightning> | doh, i'm sorry |

| 20:10 | <cmoates> | hehe |
| 20:15 | <cmoates> | st_dev matches on two dirs exported from the same nfs share |
| 20:17 | <Captain_Murdoch> | I'm wondering if the st_dev is the nfs fsid, which would mean we'd have dups if you have multiple nfs servers, but as long as 2 nfs servers don't have disks with the same exact disk space numbers then it would be OK. this is still getting more accurate, just would still leave an obscure case where it would fail. |
| 20:17 | <Captain_Murdoch> | are the st_dev values for the nfs share really low? like 1 or 2 depending on how many nfs shares you have off your server. |
| 20:17 | <cmoates> | 19 |
| 20:17 | <cmoates> | is the one I got returned |
| 20:17 | <cmoates> | I can create a few more shares on a couple more boxes to test further |
| 20:18 | [~] | Captain_Murdoch writes a quick program to test his 4 filesystems across 2 nfs servers. |
| 20:19 | [~] | Captain_Murdoch realizes he can just run this --> /usr/bin/stat -c "%d" /path/to/some/directory |
| 20:20 | <cmoates> | Well, you realized it before I did, I did write said program :/ |
| 20:20 | <Captain_Murdoch> | was about to create a file called stat.c then did a "which stat" and subsequent "man stat" :) |
| 20:22 | <Captain_Murdoch> | different values for the same nfs share mounted on different clients. |
| 20:22 | <cmoates> | hrm |
| 20:22 | <cmoates> | I get 769 for two different / partitions, on different machines |
| 20:22 | <cmoates> | but not a third |
| 20:23 | <Captain_Murdoch> | this st_dev check would only be used if the disk space numbers were equal though. I wouldn't use it if they were different. |
| 20:23 | <cmoates> | I suppose if you only do the stat check after you do the other check that's already in there, you'd reduce the edge case, but not to zero |
| 20:23 | <cmoates> | yeah |
| 20:23 | <cmoates> | exactly |
| 20:24 | <cmoates> | But, the st_dev numbers don't match when the same dir is local vs mounted nfs |
| 20:24 | <cmoates> | But maybe that doesn't matter |
| 20:24 | <cmoates> | Do you aggregate the disks from all backends for this list before you consolidate them? |
| 20:25 | <cmoates> | Or do you consolidate before you aggregate? |

| 20:26 | <Captain_Murdoch> | gets data from all backends then checks which filesystems seem the same. |
| 20:27 | <cmoates> | So if you had foo exported and locally mounted on A, and foo was mounted on B, their st_dev wouldn't match |
| 20:27 | <Captain_Murdoch> | so the master doesn't have access to the slave's st_dev numbers, that would have to be passed back from the slave's GetDiskSpace() call. |
| 20:27 | <cmoates> | yeah |
| 20:28 | <cmoates> | And both would report them as a file system |
| 20:28 | <Captain_Murdoch> | but in that case the master would see them as the same since their disk space values match. |
| 20:29 | <cmoates> | Sure, but it would yield the same result as two local identical disks |
| 20:29 | <cmoates> | disk space equal, but st_dev's different |
| 20:29 | <Captain_Murdoch> | I would only do the check on local filesystems probably. |
| 20:30 | <cmoates> | That'd be fair |
| 20:30 | <cmoates> | I dunno, maybe I'm way off, but it seems to me, as storage groups hit mainstream, that more folks are likely to use them in place of striped disks |
| 20:31 | <cmoates> | I know that is why I did it; I don't lose the disk to parity for raid 5 and I don't lose the whole FS with a single falure like raid 1 |
