NFS share issues with multiple ip on a host

NAS box has a share which is to be mounted on a client


NAS box: myNasBox
Client: SolZone1


NAS box has provided access to the ip/hostname of the host

(SolZone1:/)# nslookup SolZone1
Server:         10.10.134.3
Address:        10.10.134.3#53

Name:   SolZone1.bc
Address: 45.26.20.216

But the mounting failed with permission error

(SolZone1:/)# mount -F nfs -o rw,bg,soft,vers=3 myNasBox:/nasdump/nasdata /nasdata
nfs mount: myNasBox:/nasdump/nasdata: Permission denied


Issue identified as below

(SolZone1:/)# traceroute myNasBox

"kill -9" fails... why?

Kill -9 >> Process still alive !!!!


A signal is a message sent to a process to interrupt it and cause a response. If the process has been designed to respond to signals of the type sent it does so; otherwise, it terminates. There are 42 signals, as defined in the signal(5) man page. 


Why sometime process cannot be killed with kill -9?

If the process is hung waiting for I/O (or some other kernel resource) it will behave that way. The problem is the process is hung waiting for an I/O to return and is unable to service the signal. So it never gets killed. Usually reboot is the only solution for this condition.

Sometimes a process will be waiting for kernel to do some I/O and the kernel is waiting for a timeout because of a hardware error, etc. This can happen if you try to do a file copy for instance and a harddrive fails. The 'cp' command may not be killable until the kernel timeout has occurred (this may hang indefinately).

stale NFS mounts will cause the issue if hard mount is used. One way to avoid hung processes is to "soft" mount the NFS mounts.

FTP site command

UMASK for ftp can be set globally by adding the proper value for umask in the file /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess


But how can umask be used from a client system to be executed on the remote server instead of the global setting?

To send some commands from client to server where it can be executed.

For eg) To set UMASK for a user on the remote server, use 


ftp> site UMASK



SITE command can be used for a number of other operations as well as seen in the ftp help menu



ftp> site help
214-The following SITE commands are recognized (* =>'s unimplemented).
   UMASK           GROUP           INDEX           GROUPS
   IDLE            GPASS           EXEC            CHECKMETHOD

Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM)

PAM allows various authentication technologies such as Kerberos, RSA, smart cards and DCE into system entry services such as login, passwd, rlogin, telnet, ftp, and su without changing any of these services.

PAM configuration file pam.conf is used to manage how these services use PAM framework. 

How it works?

Application Services (rlogin, telnet, ssh etc...) => PAM API (Refers pam.conf) => PAM Modules to manage the access

The entries in /etc/pam.conf or in PAM policy files are in one of the following formats:

"service-name module-type control-flag module-path module-options"

eg) LDAP configuration in pam.conf.

more /etc/pam.conf | grep ldap

zone03:/root# more /etc/pam.conf | grep ldap

login   auth required           pam_ldap.so.1 use_first_pass

rlogin  auth required           pam_ldap.so.1 use_first_pass

rsh     auth required           pam_ldap.so.1 use_first_pass

ppp     auth required           pam_ldap.so.1 use_first_pass

other   auth required           pam_ldap.so.1 use_first_pass

passwd  auth required           pam_ldap.so.1 use_first_pass

Resize a FS with space from a specific disk

In a disk group, where some volumes are stripped and some are concat, while adding disk space to a concat volume, care needs to be taken.

For STRIPE volumes, when adding a new disk, the whole stripe has to be relayedout.

For CONCAT volumes, it is straight extension but the disk that was added needs to be used only for this volume and shouldn't mix with the STRIPE volumes.
