amazon ec2 - Disk size and space detection

i'm running a server with debian stable :

Linux myhostname 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 #1 SMP Tue Mar 8 00:01:30 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It is running a nginx, mail server,ftp server and a mysql database.

This morning postfix complained it''s running out of space, so I double checked the free storage and it is as such

root@myhostname:# cat /etc/fstab 
/dev/xvda1 /     ext3    defaults 1 1
/dev/xvda2 /mnt  ext3    defaults 0 0

/dev/xvda3 swap  swap    defaults 0 0
none       /proc proc    defaults 0 0
none       /sys  sysfs   defaults 0 0


root@myhostname:# cat /etc/mtab
/dev/xvda1 / ext3 rw 0 0
tmpfs /lib/init/rw tmpfs rw,nosuid,mode=0755 0 0
proc /proc proc rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0

udev /dev tmpfs rw,mode=0755 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/dev/xvdf /mnt ext4 rw 0 0

So "/dev/xvdf" is a big hdd (500GB) mounted on /mnt and it is where all the stuff related to the webservice is stored, "/dev/xvda1" instead is mounted in the root filesystem and it is an amazon aws standard image ami, 8GB, both of them should have enough free space but:

root@myhostname:# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/xvda1           1008M 1008M     0 100% /
tmpfs                 306M     0  306M   0% /lib/init/rw
udev                  286M   32K  286M   1% /dev
tmpfs                 306M     0  306M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/xvdf             493G  1.1G  467G   1% /mnt

root@myhostname:# fdisk -l /dev/xvda1
Disk /dev/xvda1: 8589 MB, 8589934592 bytes

I'm pretty sure that /dev/xvda is 8GB capacity but for some reason the system sees only 1GB and it is now entirely filled, any ideas why?

linux - iDRAC6 Virtual Media native library cannot be loaded

When attempting to mount Virtual Media on a iDRAC6 IP KVM session I get the following error: I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and: $ javaws -version Java(TM) Web Start 1.6.0_16 $ uname -a Linux aud22419-linux 2.6.28-15-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 31 13:39:06 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ firefox -version Mozilla Firefox 3.0.14, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2009 mozilla.org On Windows + IE it (unsurprisingly) works. I've just gotten off the phone with the Dell tech support and I was told it is known to work on Linux + Firefox, albeit Ubuntu is not supported (by Dell, that is). Has anyone out there managed to mount virtual media in the same scenario?

ubuntu - Monitoring CPU, Mem, disk, on a single server

I've been looking for a simple starter solution for monitoring my [currently] single server hosted solution. Other than Nagios and similar, are there other good (simple) solutions people are using? Answer Everything depends on what you want. For example Munin is very simple, you can install and configure it in less then 10 minutes (on one server), it can sends alarms, make graphs from monitoring cpu, mem. apache connections, eaccellerator, disk io and many many more (it has many plugins). But if you are planning in future get some more machines, munin may not be enough. For example in munin you cant monitor state of individual processes, can't monitor changes in files (for security purpose). So if you wanna only see what is the utilization of basics parameters on your server and don't plan to buy some more servers Munin is what you are looking for, but if you wanna be alarmed when some of your service is down, take more control on what is happeninig on...

hp proliant - Smart Array P822 with HBA Mode?

We get an HP DL360 G8 with an Smart Array P822 controller. On that controller will come a HP StorageWorks D2700 . Does anybody know, that it is possible to run the Smart Array P822 in HBA mode? I found only information about the P410i, who can run HBA. If this is not supported, what you think about the LSI 9207-8e controller? Will this fit good in that setup? The Hardware we get is used but all original from HP. The StorageWorks has 25 x 900 GB SAS 10K disks. Because the disks are not new I would like to use only 22 for raid6, and the rest for spare (I need to see if the disk count is optimal or not for zfs). It would be nice if I'm not stick to SAS in future. As OS I would like to install debian stretch with zfs 0.71 as file system and software raid. I have see that hp has an page for debian to. I would like to use hba mode because it is recommend, that zfs know at most as possible about the disk, and I'm independent from the raid controller. For us zfs have many benefits, ...
