Hi all, Not really a bug report because I did not manage to figure out the cause. However, after upgrading from FC31 to FC32 I could not login any more, due to SELinux problems. Auto-relabeling did not work, nothing really... ... until I did dnf uninstall MonetDB-selinux. I came to this point because trying to give systemd services the correct labels with restorecon failed with an error referencing a monetdb specific file. I do not have the details unfortunately, but if you get problems, beware that MonetDB SELinux package and systemd may interfere in some way beyond my knowledge of these services. Best regards, Arjen PS: Some output from logs: sudo ausearch -c monetdb -m AVC,SELINUX_ERR [..] ---- time->Sat May 2 20:57:01 2020 type=AVC msg=audit(1588445821.693:203): avc: denied { open } for pid=1232 comm="monetdbd" path="/etc/resolv.conf" dev="dm-0" ino=3409775 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:default_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 ---- time->Sat May 2 21:12:56 2020 type=AVC msg=audit(1588446776.043:1194): avc: denied { execute } for pid=2861 comm="(monetdbd)" name="monetdbd" dev="dm-0" ino=2147256 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 trawcon="unconfined_u:object_r:monetdbd_exec_t:s0" ---- time->Sat May 2 21:12:56 2020 type=AVC msg=audit(1588446776.043:1195): avc: denied { execute_no_trans } for pid=2861 comm="(monetdbd)" path="/usr/bin/monetdbd" dev="dm-0" ino=2147256 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 trawcon="unconfined_u:object_r:monetdbd_exec_t:s0" ---- time->Sat May 2 21:12:56 2020 type=AVC msg=audit(1588446776.044:1196): avc: denied { map } for pid=2861 comm="monetdbd" path="/usr/bin/monetdbd" dev="dm-0" ino=2147256 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 trawcon="unconfined_u:object_r:monetdbd_exec_t:s0" ---- time->Sat May 2 21:12:56 2020 type=AVC msg=audit(1588446776.714:1197): avc: denied { remove_name } for pid=1232 comm="monetdbd" name="merovingian.pid" dev="tmpfs" ino=34369 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=1 trawcon="system_u:object_r:monetdbd_var_run_t:s0" ---- time->Sat May 2 21:12:56 2020 type=AVC msg=audit(1588446776.714:1198): avc: denied { unlink } for pid=1232 comm="monetdbd" name="merovingian.pid" dev="tmpfs" ino=34369 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 ---- time->Sat May 2 21:12:56 2020 type=AVC msg=audit(1588446776.714:1199): avc: denied { write } for pid=1232 comm="monetdbd" name=".merovingian_lock" dev="dm-0" ino=5899443 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 trawcon="system_u:object_r:monetdbd_lock_t:s0" ---- time->Sat May 2 21:13:15 2020 type=AVC msg=audit(1588446795.214:1209): avc: denied { read } for pid=2925 comm="(monetdbd)" name="passwd" dev="dm-0" ino=524514 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 ---- time->Sat May 2 21:13:15 2020 type=AVC msg=audit(1588446795.214:1210): avc: denied { open } for pid=2925 comm="(monetdbd)" path="/var/lib/sss/mc/passwd" dev="dm-0" ino=524514 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 ---- time->Sat May 2 21:13:15 2020 type=AVC msg=audit(1588446795.214:1211): avc: denied { map } for pid=2925 comm="(monetdbd)" path="/var/lib/sss/mc/passwd" dev="dm-0" ino=524514 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 ---- time->Sat May 2 21:14:24 2020 type=AVC msg=audit(1588446864.487:1281): avc: denied { read } for pid=3072 comm="(monetdbd)" name="passwd" dev="dm-0" ino=524514 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 ---- time->Sat May 2 21:14:24 2020 type=AVC msg=audit(1588446864.487:1282): avc: denied { open } for pid=3072 comm="(monetdbd)" path="/var/lib/sss/mc/passwd" dev="dm-0" ino=524514 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 ---- time->Sat May 2 21:14:24 2020 type=AVC msg=audit(1588446864.487:1283): avc: denied { map } for pid=3072 comm="(monetdbd)" path="/var/lib/sss/mc/passwd" dev="dm-0" ino=524514 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 -- ==================================================================== ICIS, office M1.00.05 Radboud University Mercator 1 Faculty of Science Toernooiveld 212 arjen(a)cs.ru.nl NL-6525 EC Nijmegen, The Netherlands +31-(0)24-365 2354 ===================== http://www.informagus.nl/ ==================== -- ==================================================================== ICIS, office M1.00.05 Radboud University Mercator 1 Faculty of Science Toernooiveld 212 arjen(a)cs.ru.nl NL-6525 EC Nijmegen, The Netherlands +31-(0)24-365 2354 ===================== http://www.informagus.nl/ ====================

Linux kernel vm settings

by Roberto Cornacchia

Hi there, I looked around but couldn't find any recommendation about kernel vm settings in Linux for MonetDB. In particular: - vm.overcommit_memory: 0 (default) : a heuristics decides whether overcommitting is allowed 1: no check, overcommit is always allowed 2: overcommitting is regulated by vm.overcommit_ratio (default = 50%) Do I understand correctly that using vm.overcommit_memory=1 will only make the OOM kill mserver5 when the total VM available is exhausted? If that is true, should it be reasonably safe to use on a server that is mainly intended for MonetDB, as long as sufficient disk space is available? - vm.swappiness Generic recommendations are usually 60 for a desktop and 30 for a server. Oracle recommends 10. Redis recommends 1. Are there studies / recommendations for MonetDB?

MonetDB-.Net

by Mitchell Weggemans

Hey, MonetDB.Net is an entirely community driven project. Therefore, I cannot 100% guarantee it is production ready. I made some effort into testing it however, and it worked fine. If you encounter any problems, please feel free to post them here or on StackOverflow, or even to propose changes over on the GitHub repo. Regards, Mitchell.

MonetDB-.Net

by imad hajj chahine

Hi, I am currently using Windows Monetdb ODBC driver to connect from .Net to a running monetdb server. Recently I found the github repo https://github.com/MonetDB/MonetDB-.Net and do some initial testing and it's far better in error reporting and support connection pooling. How mature is this .Net connector and is it recommended for usage in production environments and replace the ODBC driver? Is it the official connector for .Net and backed by the Monetdb team? Many thanks.

ODBC driver Error on Windows

by imad hajj chahine

Hi, After upgrading to the Oct 2020-SP2 (11.39.11) version the ODBC driver started to throw the following exception: ERROR [IM003] Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 126: The specified module could not be found. (MonetDB ODBC Driver, C:\Program Files\MonetDB\MonetDB ODBC Driver\lib\MonetODBC.dll) Rolling back the driver to the version june 2020-SP1(11.37.11.01) the driver is working fine. Previously some driver releases missed the 2 libraries "libeay32.dll" and "ssleay32.dll", and adding them to the ODBC driver installation folder solved the problem, but not this time. Is there any missing dlls in the installation or its a more complicated issue. Thanks. Regards
