This was precipitated by the strange hum that comes through the floor from upstairs; the metrorack couples the fan vibration to the floor. I could replace the fan, or move the server, but I started wondering if I could simply turn the fan off most of the time.
The fix was to put the server on a soft pad. No more hum.

Bellman is a Debian Linux server. It is on a UPS and lives in my electronics lab.

"What's the good of Mercator's North Poles and Equators,
Tropics, Zones, and Meridian Lines?"'
 So the Bellman would cry: and the crew would reply
"They are merely conventional signs!"
--Lewis Carroll, The Hunting of the Snark

Services that run here

I am in the process of migrating some/most? of these services to run in Vagrant/Virtualbox machines.

  • Asterisk to run our phones
  • Festival for text to speech in Asterisk
  • mysql for asterisk and Owncloud
  • Owncloud server
  • Nginx for munin and owncloud
  • cups to share Brother and Canon printers
  • Logitech squeezebox server SqueezeBox See Streaming media for installation notes.
  • ssh to allow remote access
  • fail2ban to cut off break in attempts via ssh
  • UPS daemon to monitor UPS
  • Netatalk to support Timemachine backups

Additional software tools installed

  • X11 desktop so I can use it from my workbench.

History

2016-10-16 - Seeing disk errors in the WDC. It's 6 years old! REPLACE!!! Installed new Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM006 2TB $70 10-26-16 Added a fan in the hard drive section of the case, too.

2016-01-26 - Installed VirtualBox 5.0.14 and Vagrant 1.8.1 (from DEB files, repos are too old) and started migration of services.

2015-12-?? - Moved to hardware formerly used for Vastra2

2015-07-10 - Added lm-sensors and added temperature tracking to Cacti.

2015-07-01 - Replaced APC UPS with Cyberpower. Installed monitoring software.

2015-06-19 - reconnected the MX330 printer and shared it.

2015-06-18 - upgraded to Debian 8 Jessie

2013-12-29 - returned from X-Mas and discovered Bellman won't boot. Snarks about a degraded RAID. Darn.

2013 Mar - Installed Linux Mint 14 so that I could use Makerware with my new Replicator 2

2013 Jan - Seagate Barracuda 2TB Green drive died. ST2000DL003 S/N 5YD77CTE Replaced with a Barracuda 2TB mirror

2011 Dec - Been doing PostGIS experiments so I upgraded the hardware.

2010 Jan - I just started this section but I have had this machine online for at least a couple years now.

2015-06-19 back up

Note this includes /home but not /green. 

cd /
tar --one-file-system czvf /mnt/bellman_root.tar.gz .

2013-12-29 Rescue from boot fail

I no longer need a desktop environment on the small server, because I moved my main desktop next to the 3D printer. So I put Debian back on the server again. So I am going to try a Debian rescue image.

Diagnosis

Step 1. Build rescue thumbdrive. Download from http://debian.osuosl.org/ and copy image to thumbdrive 

sudo cp debian-live-7.2-amd64-rescue.iso /dev/sdX
sudo sync
sudo eject /dev/sdX

where X is the appropriate drive letter, do NOT use the wrong letter!

Step 2. Boot Bellman with the thumbdrive

Step 3. Look around

Using hdparm -i

  • sda Vertex SSD S/N OCZ-9UDI676M56Z4IR8P
  • sdb Seagate 2TB ST2000DM001-9YN164 S/N Z240BVP5
  • sdc Seagate 2TB ST2000DM001-9YN164 S/N Z240A0H1
  • sdd rescue drive

sdb and sdc don't have partition tables as they are used in a RAID (see 2013 Jan entry)

Looks like there are 2 RAID's, and md126 is the broken one. It should be the SSD and something else? Time to open the box and see what's in there.

Conclusion - I was planning on doing RAID mirror and never got the second drive installed. I think I might have used it in Stellar instead. Steller's drive failed and needed immediate replacement. Something failed on the SSD and now it's not booting, but this has nothing to do with the hardware from what I can tell. It complains about the RAID missing a drive but that's not new.

2014 Jan 01 rebuild

Do as in the Linux Mint section below

Also note:

PRESERVE MYSQL!!

/etc/hdparm.conf

2013 Jan data mirror build

apt-get install mdadm lvm2
mdadm --create --metadata=0.90 --level=mirror --raid-devices=2 /dev/md0 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc
cat /proc/mdstat 
pvcreate /dev/md0 
vgcreate vg_mirror /dev/md0 
lvcreate --verbose --extents 100%FREE -n lv_mirror vg_mirror
mkfs.ext4 /dev/vg_mirror/lv_mirror 
mount /dev/vg_mirror/lv_mirror /green
dd if=/dev/zero of=/green/swapfile1 bs=1024 count=1048576

2013 Mar Linux Mint rebuild

Had to install mdadm and lvm2 but then it recognized the LVM drives All I had to do was mount the RAID on /green.

sudo apt-get install synaptic nfs-kernel-server ssh mysql-server phpmyadmin ntp winbind smartmontools postfix

Re-install dropbox

Re-install squeezeboxserver from Logitech. http://bellman:9000/

Set up cups again

Copy over /etc/exports file

Need AFP support for Apple Timemachine. See Netatalk 3 on Debian

December 2011 upgrade

Bellman had an Intel Little Falls Atom 230 mini-itx main board + 2GB RAM until Dec 2011. Bellman used to be an Athlon desktop system, I recycled the name because I like it.

Hardware

Newegg 10/16/2016 Inv 143374043

  • sdb = Seagate BarraCuda ST2000DM006 2TB 64MB (Installed 10-26-16)

Newegg 11/21/2014 Inv #120335149

  • SUPERMICRO SYS-5018A-FTN4 1U Rackmount Server Barebone FCBGA 1283 DDR3 1600/1333
  • SUPERMICRO MCP-220-00051-0N Single 2.5" Fixed HDD Mounting Bracket
  • Kingston 8GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM ECC Unbuffered DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Server Memory Model KVR16LSE11/8KF
  • sda = Samsung MZ7WD120HCFV-00003 120GB

eth0 00:25:90:F7:37:72

Bellman is configured to bring up a management interface on this ethernet interface too. (Optionally there is a separate management interface. This server has 5 ethernet ports, 4 on the motherboard and 1 on the management card.)

Operating system

  • Debian 8

Using BTRFS now on the Seagate drive. Sort of just to be consistent with what is on Tern though this is not RAID 0. Just one drive. I partitioned the Seagate this time, partition 1 could be a 50GB OS install, 2 is 50GB swap, and 3 is data (/green)

fstab 



Printing


Canon MX330 "All in one" -- CUPS finds and sets it up if you plug it in and power it on.

This is my current /etc/cups/printers.conf

Software


Media server: it hosts my music collection. I keep the files in MP3 format, having transferred them from my CD's using grip. Music collection

File server: I keep my home directory here and NFS mount it on the desktop machine Raven. Bellman also runs Samba so that my laptop can access files on it.

I edit files with emacs23



Spin down the Seagate drive


To reduce wear on the spinning hard drive, I set APM on the drive to 127.

APM level is:     254 (maximum performance)



I am setting it down to 127 so that it can spin down the drive.
I use the server mostly for ownCloud and media storage so it can go to sleep at night,
this should make it last longer.



Backups


I am about to try Using Bacula for backups
