I'm doing a hardware refresh on my Ubuntu 12.04.03 LTS server at the moment, and i have the install already ready to go. I'm having trouble deciding if there are any refreshes in the 13 (and 14 LTS) releases for SERVERS that I should install instead? Everything i read is relating to desktop enhancements.. My current plan is to install 12 LTS and just dist-upgrade to 14 after its been stablized in a few weeks ... am I missing out on anything by not doing an interim 13 ?

ShadowHawk posted:Unless there's something in particular you need from a non-LTS Ubuntu Server release, you should stick to the most recent LTS. Note that it is also recommended to avoid the newest LTS until the .1 release, which like you thought is generally a few weeks after release. Right, I was trying to figure out exactly -what- is server related in the 13/14 path. All I am seeing is desktop,tablet,render enhancements. I ended up back with 12.04 anyway since I needed to have a net connection for archive checking (:/) so I had forgotten all the updates I made to the system in the interim. I'm not looking forward to package incompatabilty in 14.

I'm on 12 still and I didn't even consider trim, I'll have to look at enabling that. Boot times for server are 10 seconds, and the only slow down was from sata drive to sata drive when I saw slow transfer speeds, which seems to be a well known issue.

teagone posted:What SSD? Also, is partition alignment really that important? I was reading its like a must-do tweak if you're running Ubuntu on an SSD (especially any Samsung EVO model) via this article: http://cillian.wordpress.com/2013/11/16/setting-up-samsung-840-evo-ssds-on-linux/ but I'm not sure how credible that is. Samsung 840 120gb. I partitioned it to default,as my media drives are separate. The only drive shenanigans I did was removing the saved 5% space from my sata 2tb and 500gb drives EDIT: Ran a fstrim initially to see what my month+ old system was at, and 77GB were trimmed :O Guess its time for a cron job and other SSD tweaks.

following up on the SSD chat, i enabled fstrim as a daily cron because this is my server that is always on. But it seems I'm trimming a lot ?code:1000505344 bytes were trimmed I already moved /tmp , /var/lock and /var/spool to tmpfs, and also added noatime.. what else is eating up so many writes ? I read up on swappiness, but i think these usually apply to desktop vs server installs. Roundboy fucked around with this message at 14:39 on May 8, 2014 |

Paul MaudDib posted:You say "ubuntu defaults" - dumb question, do you still have the swap file enabled? ubuntu defaults meaning whatever partitions are created for / using the install CD. so yes, i have swap: code:code:

Molten Llama posted:No. Use the normed value (98% life remaining, 2% used), not the raw value. Ok, then I am just reading the wrong value. Good to know. Back to the original isue though, should I really see 1-10GB a day in trim space ?

Longinus00 posted:You said that your server does 24x7 torrenting, transcoding, etc. so maybe? It all depends on your workload. Its on, but its not pulling that much data down. 500mb a day, on average. And seeding shouldn't require any writing, nor should mindcraft (2-3 people for 3 hrs a week) Actually Plex transcoding.. Hmm, I wonder if that would benefit from tmp drive or is that shooting myself in the foot?
