| Shrunk virtual disk file, now reported file size doesn't match Posted: 06 Aug 2021 09:58 AM PDT I originally had a single virtual disk file (.qcow2) of roughly 3.5 TiB and I decided to "group" all similar data on its own virtual disk file, for various reasons. Obviously that meant I could shrink the original disk file (to 900 GiB) but ls, stat and friends still list the original 3.5 TiB: $ ls -lhks mydisk.qcow2 722G -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.5T Aug 6 18:06 mydisk.qcow2
Of course I shrunk the filesystem itself (ext4) and sparsified the file afterwards, which is why only 722 GiB is currently allocated. But my backup tools also still detect 3.5 TiB and so will scan it all while the disk itself is only capable of holding 900 GiB, meaning it takes almost 4 times longer to finish than it has to. How can I "refresh" the reported sizes? This is a machine with HDDs so I'm thinking maybe the file is too fragmented and there's some stuff around the 3.5 TiB mark? But wouldn't copying the file fix that automatically (I tried and it didn't, at least)? Also, the disk file itself resides on ZFS, if that matters. If at all possible any solution would preferably work in-place. Shutting down the VM using the disk for a little while is not a problem.  |

| GNU awk not working as expected Posted: 06 Aug 2021 08:53 AM PDT I am going through a tutorial on awk which requires using '.awk' file. I am having issues going forward with it as awk is not working as expected. Here is the code I am using. Contents of the virt.awk file BEGIN { RS="\n\n" ; } $0 ~ search { print }
Now the expected result is I search for a pattern and the particular Record should be displayed. But when I try the following I get the entire file displayed. Command I am using: awk -f virt.awk search=domain1 virtualhosts.conf
No matter what I use in the search term, I get the entire file printed. All entries of domain1, domain2 domain3 etc Could someone please help? Note: it is just a copy of virtualhosts.conf file and it is preformatted to have exactly the format i.e. blank line after each entry and no additional blank lines in between. Contents of virtualhost.conf: (and the result I am getting always): <VirtualHost 172.20.30.40:80> DocumentRoot "/www/domain1" ServerName www.domain1.com #Other options </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 172.20.30.40:8080> DocumentRoot "/www/domain2" ServerName www.domain2.com #Other options </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 172.20.30.50:80> DocumentRoot "/www/domain3-80" ServerName www.domian3.org #Other options </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 172.20.30.50:8080> DocumentRoot "/www/example2-8080" ServerName www.example.org #Other options </VirtualHost>

Items 1 to 255 are sorted by item number but from 256 the numbers are calculated mod 256 before sorting them which means they are interleaved (e.g. 256, 257, 1, 258, 2, ...): # ip a s up 256: veth-99-02@br-vxlan-99-02: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether ab:cd:ef:99:88:77 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.2.99.254/24 scope global veth-99-02 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 257: vxlan-22-01: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1450 qdisc noqueue master br-vxlan-20-01 state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether ab:cd:ef:99:88:77 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 258: br-vxlan-22-01: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1450 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether ab:cd:ef:99:88:77 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 2: eno1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether ab:cd:ef:99:88:66 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

| Is it syntactically correct/good practice to use use $# and $? in arithmetic test conditions? Posted: 06 Aug 2021 05:23 AM PDT I have seen a number of posts using if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then return fi if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then eval "set -- ${opts}" while [ $# -gt 0 ]; do case $1 in

or if (( $? == 0 )); then ...
So, is one of these approaches bad practice or a "stretch" of the syntax rules, with the other one being "the correct" way to use these variables? Or can one safely use both styles?  |
| Why does a network connection not change from "unmanaged"? Posted: 06 Aug 2021 05:15 AM PDT I'm a month into a disasterous upgrade of my ProtonVPN CLI client from 2.2.6 to 3.7.2 on Ubuntu 18.04, and the VPN still doesn't work (this question is related to my previous question). Here is the current status of my devices: $ nmcli d DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION wlp3s0 wifi connected WifiAP proton0 tun disconnected -- enp2s0 ethernet unavailable -- ipv6leakintrf0 dummy unmanaged -- lo loopback unmanaged --
ProtonVPN support has explained that they don't "support unmanaged connections", still not sure what that means. They supplied me with the following commands to change this: $ sudo nmcli dev set proton0 managed yes
This changed the proton0 connection from "unmanaged" to "disconnected", as seen above. Then I ran $ sudo nmcli dev set ipv6leakintrf0 managed yes
and this did nothing. It did not affect the status of ipv6leakintrf0 in any way. Why will this device refuse to change from "unmanaged"? Update According to this page, having an entry in an /etc/network/interfaces file can make a device be unmanaged. I can't find any reference to ipv6leakintrf0 in any of these files, however, so I don't think this is the problem: $ grep -IRF "ipv6" /etc/network/* {no results}

| Why is passing the secrets via environmental variables considered "extremely insecure"? Posted: 06 Aug 2021 09:34 AM PDT Passing secrets (password) to a program via environmental variable is considered "extremely insecure" according to MySQL docs and as poor choice (from security aspect) across other resources. I would like to know why - what is it that I'm missing? In the mentioned MySQL manual(I'm using this as an example), passing password via -p option in command line is considered as "insecure" and via env var as "extremely insecure", bold italic font. I'm not an expert but I do know the fundamentals: simple ps command, even issued by unprivileged user reads every program alongside with command parameters while only the same user (and root, of course) may read environment of the process. So, only root and johndoe may read environment of the johndoe - started process, while hacked www-data script reads all via ps. There must be some big deal here that I'm missing - so please explain me what am I missing? My objective is to have a mean of transferring secret from one program to other, generally, non-interactive.  |

| Restrict size of buffer cache in Linux Posted: 06 Aug 2021 09:30 AM PDT Is there a way to tell the Linux kernel to only use a certain percentage of memory for the buffer cache? I know /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches can be used to clear the cache temporarily, but is there any permanent setting that prevents it from growing to more than e.g. 50% of main memory? The reason I want to do this, is that I have a server running a Ceph OSD which constantly serves data from disk and manages to use up the entire physical memory as buffer cache within a few hours. At the same time, I need to run applications that will allocate a large amount (several 10s of GB) of physical memory. Contrary to popular belief (see the advice given on nearly all questions concerning the buffer cache), the automatic freeing up the memory by discarding clean cache entries is not instantaneous: starting my application can take up to a minute when the buffer cache is full (*), while after clearing the cache (using echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches) the same application starts nearly instantaneously. (*) During this minute of startup time, the application is faulting in new memory but spends 100% of its time in the kernel, according to Vtune in a function called pageblock_pfn_to_page. This function seems to be related to memory compaction needed to find huge pages, which leads me to believe that actually fragmentation is the problem.  |
| Getting conflict errors when runnin yum update Posted: 06 Aug 2021 06:04 AM PDT I'm truing to run yum update, and keep getting errors about conflicts. I must have accidentally interrupted an update at some point, but I don't know when and how. I've tried —skip-broken, but it doesn't really help me, because I want to update the parts that now refuse to update. Also, I've tried "yum remove util-linux", but then when I tried to re-install it, it didn't let me. Due to conflict errors much like what I'm getting now. (So I reverted to a backup volume, hence back on square 1). Any ideas of how I can solve this? yum update Loaded plugins: priorities, update-motd, upgrade-helper amzn-main/latest | 2.1 kB 00:00 amzn-updates/latest | 2.3 kB 00:00 Resolving Dependencies -->

| How can I add an application to the GNOME window manager? Posted: 06 Aug 2021 09:30 AM PDT The GNOME on-board documentation covers only the things anyone can easily guess. I have an application for that I can only start from the command line. Not that I mind using a terminal but ... Anyway, how do I add the command (and preferably a nice logo) to GNOME WM?  |
| Linux (RedHat) `sudo su -l <<user_acct>>` does not source profile Posted: 06 Aug 2021 05:52 AM PDT As stated, having trouble with loading the default profile of <<user_acct>> when doing sudo su -l <<user_acct>>. Inside .profile, if [ -r "${HOME}/.profile.custom" ]; then . "${HOME}/.profile.custom" fi
From what I've read (for example, answers similar to this one), -l should have triggered a login shell and therefore sourced .profile, but it doesn't seem to be working because the environment variables set in .profile.custom is not there (vs. if I just ran . .profile, they show up. Revised question: Any thoughts why or how to get around this issue?  |
| No way to record a live stream to WebM using ffmpeg? Posted: 06 Aug 2021 09:05 AM PDT I'm streaming from an mp4 source and so far I've managed to save clips as ogg (video: libtheora, audio: flac), but I'd like to save them in the WebM format. Unfortunately, WebM demands libvorbis for audio and when I try to do that: $ ffmpeg -t 60 -rtsp_transport udp -i rtsp://192.168.1.142/video.mp4 -vcodec libvpx -acodec libvorbis -f webm test.webm ffmpeg version 0.10.5 Copyright (c) 2000-2012 the FFmpeg developers built on Oct 4 2012 19:17:43 with gcc 4.7.2 20120921 (Red Hat 4.7.2-2) configuration: --prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --datadir=/usr/share/ffmpeg --incdir=/usr/include/ffmpeg --libdir=/usr/lib64 --mandir=/usr/share/man --arch=x86_64 --extra-cflags='-O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic' --enable-bzlib --disable-crystalhd --enable-gnutls --enable-libass --enable-libcdio --enable-libcelt --enable-libdc1394 --disable-indev=jack --enable-libfreetype --enable-libgsm --enable-libmp3lame --enable-openal --enable-libopenjpeg --enable-libpulse --enable-librtmp --enable-libschroedinger --enable-libspeex --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libv4l2 --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid --enable-x11grab --enable-avfilter --enable-postproc --enable-pthreads --disable-static --enable-shared --enable-gpl --disable-debug --disable-stripping --shlibdir=/usr/lib64 --enable-runtime-cpudetect libavutil 51. 35.100 / 51. 35.100 libavcodec 53. 61.100 / 53. 61.100 libavformat 53. 32.100 / 53. 32.100 libavdevice 53. 4.100 / 53. 4.100 libavfilter 2. 61.100 / 2. 61.100 libswscale 2. 1.100 / 2. 1.100 libswresample 0. 6.100 / 0. 6.100 libpostproc 52. 0.100 / 52. 0.100 [rtsp @ 0xc62ec0] Estimating duration from bitrate, this may be inaccurate Input #0, rtsp, from 'rtsp://192.168.1.142/video.mp4': Metadata: title : QStream comment : QStreaming Media Duration: N/A, start: 0.000000, bitrate: N/A Stream #0:0: Video: mpeg4 (Simple Profile), yuv420p, 640x480 [SAR 1:1 DAR 4:3], 30 fps, 30 tbr, 90k tbn, 30 tbc Stream #0:1: Audio: pcm_mulaw, 8000 Hz, 1 channels, s16, 64 kb/s File 'test.webm' already exists.

The only way I found to encode audio in a WebM file using ffmpeg is here, but that requires two passes, so I can't do it with a live stream. Any clues?  |
