Fog System Error : Please help

[slovisa]

The system has been in production for over a year, with no issues noted.
No changes have been made, besides me logging in today, nobody has logged into it since March.
Here is me trying the various commands that you suggested.

it@et1fog01:~$ ps -aux | grep mysql
it        5716  0.0  0.0   4684  2152 pts/11   S+   12:02   0:00 grep --color=auto mysql
it@et1fog01:~$ ps -aux | grep mysql
it        5734  0.0  0.0   4684  2080 pts/11   S+   12:02   0:00 grep --color=auto mysql
it@et1fog01:~$ it        5716  0.0  0.0   4684  2152 pts/11   S+   12:02   0:00 grep --color=auto mysql
it: command not found
it@et1fog01:~$ service mysqld start
mysqld: unrecognized service
it@et1fog01:~$ ./mysqld start
-bash: ./mysqld: No such file or directory
it@et1fog01:~$ cd /etc/init.d
it@et1fog01:/etc/init.d$ ./mysqld start
-bash: ./mysqld: No such file or directory
it@et1fog01:/etc/init.d$

OK on the system history. Sometimes you don’t know unless you ask first.

As for the commands it appears that the mysql service is not running and since I’m from rhel land (redhat) I don’t know ubuntu commands very well.

A quick google-fu excersion shows me this command.
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start

That should start the mysql service.

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start

Here is the output.

• /etc/init.d/mysql: ERROR: The partition with /var/lib/mysql is too full!

So…should I just delete an image from the file system?

@slovisa
Sounds like one of your partitions is full.
post the output of df -h

[slovisa]

Looks like it.
So, If I delete an unused image, to free up some space, what would be my next move?

it@et1fog01:/etc/init.d$ df -h
df: ‘/run/user/112/gvfs’: Permission denied

@slovisa After freeing up some space, you’d repair mysql. let me see if I can find some commands for that… I’ve done this before at my site when a past bug caused apache logs to grow out of control…

[Wayne Workman]

Try this.
mysqlcheck --repair --all-databases

Just a comment here: standard practice is to move the /home /opt (and a few other) directories to something other than the root partition/filesystem. Having the /images directory in the root partition will lead to the corruption the OP has now. While I’m not shaming here, it would be good practice to move the fog /images folder to something other than the root partition, like /opt/images. In addition recommend during the OS build instructions to put the /opt directory on its own hard drive partition. (on a virtual machine I would even recommend its own vmdk file. The logic here is this is where your deployment images are, if you run out of space in the partition, you can extend the vmdk file then extend the fs to give more room for your images quick and easy.)

[Wayne Workman]

@george1421 I agree 100%. Originally, I was creating a partition just for the images. But the steps just confused most linux new-comers. I wrote the instructions to be as simple as possible.

Could you help improve them, and give guidance on expanding the partitions on a 2nd virtual hdd?

[george1421]

I can see for beginners creating a partitions for the image is a bit daunting depending on the distribution. I’m not sure if there is an easy solution for this. I’m sure I could document it for Centos 6 without much pain, but I see the majority of the deployments here are ubuntu.

As for the vmdk stuff that is pretty easy, to add a second vmdk and mount that for just the /images. As for expanding the vmdk, I do have to look it up every time I do it, but it is also pretty easy.

That’s changing. I strongly push red-hat based distros here because they have been less problematic. I also tend to think that my clearly written instructions for Fedora have swayed the newcomers as well. I’m now working on the CentOS 7 article which is almost a carbon copy of the fedora 21 server article. And then I’ll start on a Fedora 22 server article next lol.

But seriously, just give me a shove in the right direction for partition resizing and I can probably make it really clear and nice looking.
