mdadm raid 5 all disk became spare

After an irregular restart, the raid 5 array became unreachable. D’oh!

# cat /proc/mdstat

$ cat /proc/mdstat 
Personalities : [raid0] [raid1] [raid10] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] 
md3 : inactive sdd3[3](S) sde3[4](S) sdf3[6](S) sdg3[5](S)
      6546850144 blocks super 1.2

As you can see all sd[cdefg]2 partitions are (S)pare.

First, we had to stop the array:

# mdadm --stop /dev/md3

and after we have to reassamle the array:

# mdadm --assemble /dev/md3 /dev/sdc3 /dev/sdd3 /dev/sde3 /dev/sdf3 /dev/sdg3 --verbose

After, we have to see like this:

$ mdadm --assemble /dev/md3 /dev/sdc3 /dev/sdd3 /dev/sde3 /dev/sdf3 /dev/sdg3 --verbose
mdadm: looking for devices for /dev/md3
mdadm: Fail create md3 when using /sys/module/md_mod/parameters/new_array
mdadm: /dev/sdc3 is identified as a member of /dev/md3, slot 0.
mdadm: /dev/sdd3 is identified as a member of /dev/md3, slot 2.
mdadm: /dev/sde3 is identified as a member of /dev/md3, slot 3.
mdadm: /dev/sdf3 is identified as a member of /dev/md3, slot -1.
mdadm: /dev/sdg3 is identified as a member of /dev/md3, slot 1.
mdadm: added /dev/sdg3 to /dev/md3 as 1
mdadm: added /dev/sdd3 to /dev/md3 as 2
mdadm: added /dev/sde3 to /dev/md3 as 3
mdadm: added /dev/sdf3 to /dev/md3 as -1
mdadm: added /dev/sdc3 to /dev/md3 as 0
mdadm: /dev/md3 has been started with 4 drives and 1 spare.

cool part of it:

mdadm: /dev/md3 has been started with 4 drives and 1 spare.

let’s check the result:

$ cat /proc/mdstat 
Personalities : [raid0] [raid1] [raid10] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] 
md3 : active raid5 sdc3[0] sdf3[6](S) sde3[4] sdd3[3] sdg3[5]
      4910137344 blocks super 1.2 level 5, 512k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/4] [UUUU]
      bitmap: 0/13 pages [0KB], 65536KB chunk

And it done, huh 🙂

Move “Show Applications” right to left of the Dock in Ubuntu

When I installed new Ubuntu 18.04, first thing I have my mind is to move the Dock at botton. I was very happy to see that Ubuntu 18.04 is already provided that option, to enable this you need to go to setting > Dock and then “Position of screen” to bottom.

Yessss, it works.

Image for post

After this one more thing I noticed is “Show applications” is showing at the right side of the Dock but I like it on the left (Event in old versions and mac/ windows its in left). I tried to search in google but nothing found so I thought of writing a notes about it. And finally, I got it working so I thought it will be good to share it with everyone.

Here is the command you need to run for this

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock show-apps-at-top true

Yayyy, its working.

And of course, to back set it false:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock show-apps-at-top false

IDEA linux – import module hanging

I tried IDEA on linux. OF course, It started with gooling 😀

I tried to import the modules, but hanged… (on a freshly created project, with import maven modules)

 

The resolution was:

File -> invalidate caches and restart

Comments Off on Disabling UPS beep under Linux

Disabling UPS beep under Linux

But it will take about 3-5 minutes to make all the setup under Linux properly. We need to run a upscmd at last, but there are a few steps before that.

  • First of all, install nut package:
$ sudo apt install nut
  • Append following lines to /etc/nut/ups.conf according to your ups device (descparameter not important, you don’t need to give correct brand name either but the given section name will be used later to identify configured ups device, we’re using eaton as config section name here):
[eaton]
driver = usbhid-ups
port = auto
desc = "Eaton 5E"
  • Now start the upsdriver with upsdrvctl:
$ sudo upsdrvctl start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.7.4
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.41 (2.7.4)
USB communication driver 0.33
  • Run upsc command the get beeper status:
$ upsc eaton ups.beeper.status
enabled
  • We’re so close, now append following lines to /etc/nut/upsd.users, change the username admin or password as you want:
[admin]
password = "test1234"
actions = SET
instcmds = ALL
  • Reload upsd with the new users config:
$ sudo upsd -c reload
  • You can query the list of the commands which will be supported by your ups device with the upscmd:
$ upscmd -l eaton
Instant commands supported on UPS [eaton]:

beeper.disable - Disable the UPS beeper
beeper.enable - Enable the UPS beeper
beeper.mute - Temporarily mute the UPS beeper
beeper.off - Obsolete (use beeper.disable or beeper.mute)
beeper.on - Obsolete (use beeper.enable)
load.off - Turn off the load immediately
load.off.delay - Turn off the load with a delay (seconds)
shutdown.stop - Stop a shutdown in progress
  • As you can see, there is a command named beeper.disable and we’ll be execute this command (give the username and password which we configured just before):
$ upscmd eaton beeper.disable
Username (root): admin
Password: 
OK
  • Now check the beeper status again:
$ upsc eaton ups.beeper.status
disabled

That’s it. It takes some time but your ears will be happy.

Apache CXF Without spring

I found a very good blog post about that topic, here: http://chathurangat.blogspot.com/2014/02/apache-cxf-first-jax-ws-soap-web.html

I copied there, to be here also for the future:

Apache CXF First JAX-WS (SOAP Web Service) Example (CXFNonSpringServlet)

The most of the people think that the Apache CXF supports only to develop Spring based Web Services. this is NOT true. is supports to build both Spring based and Non spring based web services.
1. CXFServlet –  this will support for the Spring based web services.
2. CXFNonSpringServlet –  this will support for the non spring web services.the purpose of this article is to demonstrate how to develop non spring based web service with Apache CXF. i have already developed and  tetsed the service with SoapUI. i am just sharing the source code for your reference.the project structure looks as below.,

OpenVPN Android client, error msg: “option or or was not properly closed out”

The fckn openvpn always s**ked me on android…

I found, why:

I have learned:
1. Filename extension *must* be lowercase
2. Remove all space(s) between last character(s) and CrLf. E.g.:
<CA>{SPACE}CrLf to
<CA>CrLf

Sierra Wireless EM7455 Qualcomm Snapdragon X7 LTE-A – PIN2 – NPCap

I bought a DELL notebook with LTE modem Sierra Wireless EM7455 Qualcomm Snapdragon X7 LTE-A. After that, I installed Whireshark with NPCap.

 

After that, my WWAn connetion didn’t work more.

 

I used the windows troubleshooter and it sometimes put a result to me, I have to add my PIN2 number.

 

After that, I googled a lot, and I find this article.

 

Uninstalled NPCap, and the LTE modem works very well.

tricky…

If you would like to use docker on windows Ubuntu/Debain WSL you have to modify the .bashrc file in your home directory.

vi ~/.bashrc

and add this line to the end:

export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://localhost:2375

reload the modifications:

Ubuntu WSL add git brach name to promt

you have to mofify ~/.basrc from that:

 

if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then
    PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
else
    PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ '
fi
unset color_prompt force_color_prompt

to

if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then
    PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[01;31m\]$(parse_git_branch)\[\033[00m\]\$ '
else
    PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w$(parse_git_branch)\$ '
fi
#unset color_prompt force_color_prompt

Modification details:

  • add $(parse_git_branch)\[\033[00m\] 
  • and COMMENT the unset color_prompt force_color_prompt line
