stortini

Introduction

This page describes the installation of stortini, which is my main NFS server hosting:

• home directories
• “public” multimedia

Hardware

• KVM VM (not an LXC container, because LXC containers can’t run kernel NFS server, which is more performant than unfsd)
• 4 x CPU
• 8 GB RAM
• standard OS disk
• 1TB homes disk
• 10TB pub disk
• 1 NIC on public network (192.168.1.0/24)
• 1 NIC on short-cut VM-to-storage network (192.168.10.0/24 – virbr0)

Procedure

1. Make note of the following volume creation commands:

   create-perfect-drbd-vol -v --name=stortini --size=21G \
       --name1=pici --ip1=192.168.3.10 --name2=ziti --ip2=192.168.3.13
   create-perfect-drbd-vol -v --name=stortini_home --size=1T \
       --name1=pici --ip1=192.168.3.10 --name2=ziti --ip2=192.168.3.13
   create-perfect-drbd-vol -v --name=stortini_pub --size=10T \
       --name1=pici --ip1=192.168.3.10 --name2=ziti --ip2=192.168.3.13

   Note the absence of --remote=ziti as, at the time I was preparing this VM, ziti was not available.

2. Make note of the following container recreation commands:

   create-perfect-kvm-vm --name=stortini \
       --release=bookworm \
       --mem=8G \
       --cpus=4 \
       --disk=block:/dev/drbd_stortini \
       --disk=block:/dev/drbd_stortini_home \
       --disk=block:/dev/drbd_stortini_pub \
       --nic=bridge:br0 \
       --nic=network:192.168.10.0

3. Complete Installing Debian 12 on a PM or KVM VM.
4. Complete Configuring NAS services (revision 2.2).
5. Complete Finalising a Linux installation.
